Water – it’s in the bank By Susan Sandys Mid Canterbury farmers are making history this week as they bank Rakaia River water for the first time in Lake Coleridge. Farmers waged a long battle to have the river’s National Water Conservation Order (Rakaia River) 1988 on the river amended so they could store water for irrigation in the lake. That battle was theoretically won in February, when Environment Minister Amy Adams allowed the order to be amended. The date water could officially be stored from was March 7, but river levels were not high enough for this to be actioned. That all changed with rain earlier this week, and on Wednesday water was “banked” in the lake for the first time. Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation (BCI) general manager John Wright, who farms at Methven, said the banking of the water was “an important moment in history for Mid Canterbury”. He said BCI had not only had to fight to get the Water Conservation Order regulations amended, but it had also been a challenge to market the BCI scheme to farmers when it did not have reliability of supply without storage capacity at the lake. “And this really is the moment that that changes,” Mr Wright said. BCI had initially aimed to begin storing water in Lake Coleridge before Christmas, and the delays had cost farmers millions of dollars in lost production and extra expenses. Low river levels saw farmers on the $30 million BCI irrigation scheme on full restrictions for four weeks in an autumn drought, cutting arable and pastoral production and adding extra expenses such as winter feed. Now water could be banked, but farmers were less likely to need it with rain having fallen this week and the irrigation season drawing to a close. But Mr Wright said the scheme would start off next season with water in the bank so to speak and that was at least a start. “It will be a good trial for the system,” Mr Wright said. BCI shareholders will have the ability to specify a volume which will be banked on their behalf, which they may access immediately or sit on until later in the season.

Trust turns February sales around Over the past three years the Ashburton Trust has increased its February sales by 44 per cent. In February this year it logged $1.42 million worth of sales and trust chief executive Giles Beal said the trading figures were an indication how much the organisation’s performance had turned around. “It’s great to see such strong revenue growth continuing, particularly in newer businesses which are now well established in the local market,” he said. For the current year, on-premises sales are seven percent up on the previous year and off-premises up two per cent. While accommodation sales are down for the year to date, in February they showed a strong increase. Sales saw a recovery in the latter part of last year and while market statistics indicate total guest nights in the Ashburton District were down significantly, the trust had actually gained ground, Mr Beal said. The balance between on and offpremise sales were often affected by the weather and the hot, dry summer had favoured off-licence sales this year which were up six per cent in February, he said. “Against this background of good revenue performance our margins were maintained. The impact of a number of significantly increased fixed costs such as insurance and power was offset by improved efficiencies and cost reductions in other areas.” With the trust’s cashflow now in a strong and positive position, management was assessing a number of reinvestment plans, Mr Beal said.
Council needs 4.9% rate rise Redevelopment plans to By Sue Newman The Ashburton District Council will need another 4.9 per cent from rates next year to run the district. The council’s annual plan, in which it spells out its work programme and how much this will cost, is now in its final stages before it becomes part of the community consultation process. The council anticipates it will need $26.44 million from rates next year, up from $25.159 million this year. This year district councillors were presented with three options as the basis for setting rates and have opted for one that includes roading expenses as part of the general rate. This will spread rate increases more evenly between the urban and rural sectors Across the district, based on the price of an average home, the change in rates for the coming year is anticipated to range from
less than 1 per cent in Methven to almost 20 per cent in Mayfield. Urban Ashburton is in line for a 2 per cent increase while rural ratepayers face an average increase of 3.6 per cent. This year’s rates are based on old property values, but the district was revalued this year and next year’s rates will be set on new capital value figures. The average home value in urban areas is now $241,000 (up from $230,000). In its draft annual plan, the council has kept its rating requirement well below that signalled in its long term plan for this year, where it tagged a 7.4 per cent increase. The final amount needed in rates and how that will impact on each community will not be decided until community consultation is completed on May 10. Consultation will include meetings in several communities around the district. Rakaia was in line for an increase of more than 12 per cent this year
because of the large increase in kerb and channel work planned in the village. This boosted its budget for roadworks up from $50,000 to $110,000. Rather than hit Rakaia ratepayers with a big rate rise next year, they will be have the option of spreading the work and costs over two years. Mayfield was looking at the most significant rates increase, 23 per cent, as a result of a large increase in the village’s water rate following upgrading work this year. Councillors, however are looking at ways to reduce this by using depreciation to pay back some of the loan raised for the new water supply. Mt Somers is also heading for a double figure rate rise, again because of costs around the village’s water supply. This was signalled in the council’s long term plan but district councillors are looking at ways to trim the increase. Rates are divided into several categories, some applied to all
properties and others to specific communities. The uniform annual general charge apply equally to all ratepayers. This covers wholly or in part the library, community grants and events, public conveniences, art, culture and heritage, community safety and wellbeing, recreation facilities and services and civil defence. The general rate is a uniform rate set on the capital value of each property. It funds most of the council’s functional activities and some of its infrastructure. Water supplies, waste water, solid waste collection, stockwater, amenity rates and community pool rates are specific rates charged to individual communities according to the service they receive. Community consultation meetings will run from April 17 to April 29. Submissions on the annual plan close on May 10 and submitters will be heard on May 29 and 30. The council will adopt the annual plan on June 27.
mark domain’s birthday By Sue Newman When it celebrates its 150th birthday next year the Ashburton Domain’s gift from the community is likely to be a development plan for its future. Ashburton District Council staff have prepared a draft management plan for the domain and this includes recommendations for ways in which it can be enhanced and developed in the future. They’ve come up with a list of issues that will need to be discussed to ensure the domain continues to meet the community’s needs. These include: • The future use of the curator’s house at the domain • The lifespan of the hockey turf • Whether the parks depot
should remain in the domain • The maintenance or upgrading of service infrastructure • The potential co-location of facilities to the new sport and leisure centre • The relationship between the domain and the hospital grounds • The future use of the (old) tennis courts A development plan for the domain would provide a realistic vision for the community of how the domain would be maintained and the changes that may occur. It would be prepared with full community consultation to ensure community ideas and feedback were incorporated. The domain’s water supply is also likely to come under scrutiny in the future. Currently water for the domain comes from the Ashburton River, travelling from
Coniston Waters along pipes and open channels, but the council intends to look at other options. These could include the need for the existing ponds and waterways to remain and whether the current supply can be upgraded or a new supply developed. The development plan for the future will be part of the new management plan which is likely to include a number of enhancements such as work on the fitness track, replacing the existing paddling pool, enhancement of the West Street layby area, increasing sculptural features and areas of botanical interest. Councillors Daryl Nelson, Jac Sparks, Jim Burgess and Don McLeod will be part of a working group, who, with council staff, will consider submissions on the Ashburton Domain management plan.

‘1500 jobs to go at Telecom’ Telecom could be set to axe up to 1500 jobs, in what would be the single largest job loss of any single company in New Zealand. Labour’s communications and IT spokeswoman Clare Curran says Telecom is set to announce up to 1500 job cuts. Telecom has already cut 373 permanent jobs, and future cuts are believed to be planned over two to three years. In February, Telecom boss Simon Moutter said the telco would cut jobs from its base of 7603 staff, and did
not rule out more than a thousand jobs going. Ms Curran said she had been told by a source that Telecom would make the cuts this month, and the board of the company was due to meet next week. “The ICT sector is strategically important to our economy and it essential to a high-growth, highwage nation. “This is a loss of skills and knowledge that will bite for years to come. These are not low wage, low skill jobs. These are the sort of jobs that
we want more of.’’ Ms Curran said research from Parliamentary Library showed it could amount to the country’s largest loss of jobs from a single company. Speaking at the firm’s financial results announcement last month, Telecom chief executive Simon Moutter said jobs at the company could “run well into the hundreds”. Yesterday Moutter said there was “no new news” on the job cuts front. According to a Telecom spokesperson the company could not yet provide a “definitive number” on what
job cuts would be. It is understood job cuts are likely to be a mixture of compulsory redundancies and nonreplacement of departing staff. Asked what areas of the company would be affected, Moutter said last month: “There is no area of the business who has not been asked to look very hard at everything we do to make sure we remove the legacy culture, the layers of middle management, the duplication of effort,” Moutter said. Telecom announced last week
it would scale back operations in Australia, with an announcement it would axe about 120 jobs from the Australian arm of its information technology unit, Gen-i, leaving 60 people focusing on servicing and attracting large trans-Tasman corporate customers. Last year the Commerce Commission announced its approval of Vodafone’s $840 million takeover of TelstraClear. When the company merged it had about 3200 employees. - APNZ

Cathedral ‘is not ruined’ Police investigating 21 and can be saved quake fraud cases By Shelley Robinson Engineers have unveiled a plan which they say can allow for the restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral. At the city council’s earthquake forum yesterday representatives from the Great Christchurch Building Trust said the cathedral “is not ruined” and can be saved. Independent Engineering Group chair, seismic and structural engineer Adam Thornton who advises the trust, unveiled the plan which was mooted last year. The plan is to have a large steel frame put inside what remains of the cathedral, which will slowly move along as smaller frames are deployed to the sides to strengthen it. Mr Thornton said workers would be pro-
tected from seismic events due to the frame. Great Christchurch Building Trust spokesman and former MP Jim Anderton said there is a public misconception that the cathedral is “wrecked” and unsalvageable. He said that if people viewed the Cathedral, not from the front, but from the side and back “you would see a completely different view”. “If you looked at the roof of that cathedral which is supposed to be the weak point it is in fact steel reinforced and that’s why it is still there,” he said. “It is not wrecked, from the back or from the side and the roof “We don’t want every brick and nail back exactly where it used to be but we would like to see as much restored as possible. “More importantly now a symbol of the rebuild of the city,” -APNZ
By Cullen Smith and Kurt Bayer The Earthquake Commission says police are investigating 21 possible fraud cases involving the Christchurch rebuild. EQC customer services general manager Bruce Emson said the commission’s investigation unit looked into 880 cases where there were irregularities since February 2011. “To date we have referred 21 files to the police and we now have five convictions with two hearings pending,” he said. Fraudulent claims involved falsely claiming for contents or buildings that weren’t damaged in the earthquake. And the Serious Fraud Office, which has warned the scale of fraud could run to $1 billion, also confirmed yesterday two current investigations relating to the rebuild were “progressing well”.

Community outrage at the Ashburton District Council sending logo and signwriting work out of town made council staff and councillors think twice when they had new stationery printed. When it came to a rush order for new stationery, staff were careful to secure quotes
from both an in-town and outof-town business. The local won. When the stationery quote came up for discussion at yesterday’s finance committee meeting, chairman Neil Brown asked the question – “will we be going out to local people for a quote”.
He was assured by customer services manager Joe van Nord that this had been done and that when the bulk order was done several local quotes would be obtained. “That’s good, we need to use local people, but we also need to make sure we get a good price,” Mr Brown said.
Acting chief executive Simon McArley said the SFO had been working closely with police, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority and a number of other agencies with key roles in the Christchurch rebuild. The EQC and SFO were commenting after Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee was questioned in Parliament on Wednesday over allegations involving repair contracts in quake-shattered Canterbury. NZ First leader Winston Peters asked Mr Brownlee what he was doing to prevent fraudulent activity. Under parliamentary privilege, Mr Brownlee confirmed he had received allegations of fraud and “these have been directed to relevant agencies for investigation”. Mr Emson said the commission had a “zero tolerance policy” for fraud. -APNZ

Possible solution to bus woes By Myles Hume Parents are hanging their hopes on a meeting next week which could mean their disabled children are not dropped off hundreds of metres from their classroom. Ashburton College and Ritchies Bus and Coach will hold a meeting on Tuesday morning to discuss an alternative drop-off point for disabled pupils, following growing concerns about the current bus stop which means pupils in wheelchairs and with other illnesses have to make their own way to a classroom 300 to 400 metres away. Ashburton College deputy principal Grant Congdon said it was the final problem to be addressed after Ritchies moved quickly to take care of three other major issues since it was awarded a Ministry of Education contract to take disabled pupils to Ashburton College and Hampstead School this year. Currently the pupils are being dropped off at the Creek Road bus bay because the bus is too big to get closer to their classroom. Mr Congdon said he wanted to discuss an alternative dropoff point on Middle Road which would see the pupils dropped 40 metres from their classsroom. Mother Faye Blackburn welcomed the news, saying it would make a significant difference, even though former transport-provider Ashburton Taxis used to drop her son 10m from the classroom door. “I hope that happens, I really hope that happens,” she said. Mrs Blackburn has had to take
Roses a Red Cross fundraiser By Gabrielle Stuart Bunches of a dozen red roses were delivered to businesses across Ashburton yesterday, but the aim was not to help romance bloom. Ashburton Red Cross volunteers spent the past three days packing, selling and delivering the roses for the annual Rose Day appeal, raising funds for Canterbury Red Cross initiatives in the area. Organiser Pat Cannan said more than 1400 roses were sold individually and to businesses in the district. “We were very busy but it went very well, and people loved the roses.” She said 28 people were involved in selling the roses this year, both Red Cross members and volunteers from the community. “As well as the selling and distributing, we had to package the bunches up. There were quite a few of us stripping prickles off the stems, wrapping them, squirting them with water and adding the little thank you note, then away they went.” St Paul’s church was used as a base for the roses this year, as the Red Cross rooms were still red-stickered after the quakes. “Not having our rooms made it all rather difficult this year, as things had to be transported from people’s homes, but at least we had somewhere.” Red Cross Canterbury area manager Carol Ball said about 5500 roses would be delivered across Canterbury this year. She said the fundraiser was its most successful in 2003, when 27,000 roses were sold across Canterbury. She said they hoped to raise $10,000 for the Red Cross in Canterbury this year, and the funds would be distributed to Red Cross programmes in Canterbury communities throughout the year.
her son James off the bus and drive him into college herself earlier this week. James suffers from a kidney disorder and is at risk of falling incredibly ill if he gets wet. “It’s getting to the point where us parents are tearing our hair out, something needs to be done.” James isn’t the only one who will struggle with the 300 to 400m hike in the rain. Some pupils are in powered wheelchairs which are vulnerable to the rain. Mr Congdon said there would be a number of logistical hurdles to jump before Middle Road could be used as an entrance. “Many other students use that entrance at different times, and some staff use that entrance in their vehicles as well, so we will be working around the logistics of getting a bus in there,” Mr Congdon said. “The bus will also have to reverse in that entrance one way so we will have to look at the safety precautions.” Sharon Tuffley’s daughter Sarah, who has autism, is on the bus each day. Ms Tuffley said she had heard rumours that parents were pulling their children from the bus, and many were still encountering problems with drop-off and pickup times even though the timetable had been altered to address that issue. “It will be interesting to see what they come up with at the meeting, it sounds like they are still going to have to walk when the taxi company used to drop them off right at the unit door,” she said.

Dairy price rise ‘not the breaking dawn’ Flash new cars will be off farmers’ shopping lists this winter, despite a 14.8 per cent rise in the latest GlobalDairyTrade online auction, according to an industry spokesperson. “New Zealand’s drought needs to be taken with the one that the United States suffered and unexceptional production out of Europe,” says Willy Leferink, Mid Canterbury corporate dairy farmer and Federated Farmers dairy chairperson. “When you look at the global
picture it is no wonder prices have spiked upwards. Westpac is forecasting New Zealand’s production may actually decline for the first time in years. The truth is that the supply of milk and global demand is finely balanced. “This makes markets skittish and while any increase in international price is welcome, it is moot when you are yet to be fully paid out for what you have produced. In the North Island many herds have either stopped production or are in the process of drying off early.
“So forget images of flash new cars because it is going to be a lean winter on-farm and I believe many farmers will be looking at a cash loss for the 2012/13 season. “There is one thing Government and councils can really help us out with, and that is tightening their belts to keep future rates and fee increases to the absolute minimum. That message is one that I feel will be welcomed by businesses outside the farm gate as well. “With winter coming North Island farmers are going into it with spar-
tan pasture covers and low feed reserves. Much winter feed has been used early meaning the cost of supplements will rise. There is also the need to renew or undersow damaged farm pasture. “The markets know recovery from drought can take several seasons for these reasons. “While it has been damn tough, we are incredibly proud of the way New Zealand’s dairy farmers have prioritised animal health and welfare.

merchants who have shown understanding through extending their lines of credit. “For consumers there will likely be price rises but they need to know their milk and dairy products are not as simple as mixing sugar and flavouring with carbonated water. What the drought hopefully shows them is how much care and effort goes into producing dairy products. “It underscores to me that farming is as much a craft as it is a science,” Mr Leferink concluded.

There’s liquid gold in Coleridge reservoir W
ater in Lake Coleridge is money in the bank for rural business, and history was made this week when the liquid gold poured into the high country reservoir. It’s been a long and hardfought battle for local farmers to change the legislation which stalled the initiative for many years. Those who depend on water to reap the bounty of the
OUR VIEW district’s rich soils saw the logic of using Lake Coleridge as a bank, where water could be stored, and released into the river when required. The hot, dry conditions experienced this summer have proved the point; farmers who had access to water for irrigation have had a good
season – those without have done it tough. Low water levels in the river have forced restrictions on the Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation scheme, and have cost the local economy millions of dollars. The Rakaia River, one of the largest braided rivers in the South Island, has
Michelle Nelson CHIEF REPORTER
been covered by a Water Conservation Order dating back to 1988.
This prevented damming or taking of water above the gorge, and has been the brick wall standing in the path of using the lake as a storage facility. While the conservation order was amended in February river levels were by then too low to begin banking water. The use of Lake Coleridge as a water storage facility underpins the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.

Labour will push for an inquiry into Solid Energy’s near failure by the auditor-general, state owned enterprises spokesman Clayton Cosgrove says. Mr Cosgrove’s request for a select committee inquiry into the state-owned coal company’s near collapse was voted down yesterday by National MPs on the commerce committee. However Mr Cosgrove said Labour would write to the auditor-general seeking an inquiry because it believed that after only three hours of parliamentary hearings into the company’s problems, important information was still to be revealed. Mr Cosgrove said he was aware of “other matters” regarding the company’s problems that had yet to be disclosed. He said Labour had pushed for a select committee hearing so particular individuals would be able to offer important information with parliamentary protection. Solid Energy’s former chief

However this person needs to take their letter and stand before a long mirror and read it as this person is doing the very same thing they accused me of. This person does not appear to read the whole Bible either, only the parts that have tolerance, compassion and love, you need to read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – not much love in that for those mentioned, but good if you are the some mentioned in the next verse. I apologise if I gave you the impression I am self-righteous, I am a sinner just like you.

Stolen sign Further to our president’s comments regarding the theft of our sign I would like to add a few of my own. I am, of course, extremely disappointed that two (adult) mem-
bers of our community took it upon themselves to remove it without permission or explanation. It goes without saying that a considerable amount of effort is being put in by 46 youngsters, our director and crew, the Ashburton Trust Event Centre Staff, our production team (of volunteer parents) our fundraisers, our committee and so the list goes on, to provide a wonderful opportunity for our district’s children. Our aim, as always, is to provide a chance for children and families, those on stage and off – to enjoy a theatrical experience as well as showcase their skills and talents for the enjoyment of us all. Hood is a piece of great school holiday entertainment for families to come together and enjoy. Without an audience buying tickets to see our show, we cannot pay our bills to put this show on and the continuance of this opportunity for our community to come together in a joint enterprise for our children is seriously threatened. It is only by attending our wonderful Event Centre that we guarantee its continuation as a facility for our community to enjoy. The cost of the signage was considerable and we are indebted to Dave Whalley at McDonald’s (on whose property the sign was erected) and Braided Rivers for helping us promote our show and encourage the public to support the efforts of a considerable number of our community.
Clearly, our thieves had their reasons and judging by the ferocity with which the sign was removed they must have been angry. I would appeal to them to explain to me why such action was necessary. We would not wish to undermine the efforts of our children and parents by offending anyone. Contacting me or any member of our committee, Dave himself in the restaurant or the management at Braided Rivers and explaining your objection would have been an easy, far more reasonable (and legal) way to proceed. If we felt your objections were just, we simply would have moved our sign elsewhere – which when we get it back we may well do! Robin Hood was a legendary hero who fought for the rights of the everyday folk against the nasty sheriff – I hope we do not have just a ‘nasty sheriff’ out there scuppering our plans. We all wait to hear from you and to have our sign returned. Jackie Heffernan, director, The Big Little Theatre Company

Thanks to an observant motorist, we now know that our “HOOD” sign was taken from outside McDonald’s on Monday morning. A man aged 40 to 60 was seen working very hard at breaking the posts that held it in place with a woman watching while he did it. He was dressed in navy and
was a Caucasian. He was not wearing any highvis vest or noted to be in a marked vehicle of any kind. We just want our sign back, please return it to McDonald’s. Deanna Watson, BLTC President (Text message)

Police uncover 3000 cannabis plants By Kim Fulton West Coast police have located and destroyed about 3000 cannabis plants in their annual West Coast drug bust. Officer in charge, Sergeant Russell Glue said 15 to 20 police from the West Coast had been involved in the operation as well as the Royal New Zealand Airforce and an Iroquois helicopter. The area covered in this year’s operation, which began on Saturday and is about to conclude, spanned from Karamea to Franz Josef. Mr Glue said about 3000 cannabis plants had been located and destroyed at this stage. A substantial number of those had been found in Inangahua. They varied in their stages of maturity from smaller seedlings
to quite mature plants. A mature cannabis plant, once packaged and processed, has a street value of up to $1000. Police last year uncovered 3900 cannabis plants, many of which were at maturity. Mr Glue said the bigger mixture of stages this year could have been a result of the dry weather slowing the plants’ growth in cases where growers weren’t able to get water to them. Police knew roughly where to look for the plants and were able to base their search on their own intelligence and information obtained prior to the operation. There had been no other drugs or different strains of cannabis uncovered this year. Three men now faced charges of cultivating cannabis and other drug-related offences as a result of the operation. One was from north of Westport, one was from
Greymouth and one was from Hokitika. Police were happy with the results of the operation and Mr Glue said plant numbers were lower than in previous years. In 2011 police uprooted just over 3500 plants. They located 3000 in the 2010 bust and 5200 in 2009. Mr Glue said police were aware of the social impact cannabis had on the community. Studies showed that the amount of cannabis destroyed on the West Coast had a social impact figure of more than $4 million dollars, which was made up by combining hospital and social costs. Police wanted to thank the community for their assistance and Mr Glue said any further information, including sightings of suspicious vehicles or activity, could still be forwarded to local police. - APNZ
executive Don Elder and former chairman John Palmer appeared before the committee last week. They said the company’s problems were the result of high debt levels resulting from big investments in its coal mines in conjunction with a “perfect storm” of falling coal prices last year. Treasury is expected to release a series of documents detailing the company’s recent activities and interactions with ministers in the next day or so. Green Party energy spokesman Gareth Hughes said the Government was shutting down parliamentary scrutiny of Solid Energy. “The financial meltdown at Solid Energy is deeply embarrassing to the Government and ministers because it highlights their lack of oversight and flawed shareholder strategy.” Parliament needed to know what went wrong at Solid Energy so mistakes could be avoided in the future. “That will be harder to do now that the select committee cannot investigate the issue,” he said. - APNZ
Police consider gang patch ban for New Brighton By Shelley Robinson Police are considering trying to ban gang patches in New Brighton after a flare up between gang members and ongoing intimidation. The move will be similar to the one former Wanganui mayor Michael Laws orchestrated against the Hells Angels in 2009. The bylaw banning gang matches in Wanganui eventually failed after the Hells Angels appealed it in the high court. Justice Denis Clifford said the ban was unlawful because it covered a wide area and the Wanganui District Council had not considered all the issues in relation to freedom of expression. But Christchurch police say their legal experts are confident a the by-law could work here if it related to a smaller concentrated area, such as New Brighton. “It would be a very useful tool,” Sergeant Andrew Judson said. Two weeks ago patched Mongrel Mob and Black Power gang members clashed in the New Brighton Mall. Two arrests were made. Gang members and associates have also been gathering outside the New Brighton Library. Police say people are feeling intimidated. On Wednesday night, more than 50 residents and business owners attended a public meeting called by the police to discuss how to address a crime strategy for New Brighton after ongoing disorder and vandalism issues. Police told the meeting one of their strategies was to consider banning gang patches. Sergeant Judson said in spite of the High Court ruling in Wanganui, the campaign had been successful there. Before the appeal, police had seized and destroyed a large number of gang patches, to the point patched members were “reluctant” to wear them, he said. City councillor Aaron Keown said he would support police if they sought a bylaw. “Any form of intimidating cloth-
ing in a public place is not okay. Some people may say well then a rugby team are a gang then but there is a difference between a group of 18 to 25 guys who wear the same uniform and a gang member who puts on a patch specifically designed to intimidate people,” he said. Deputy Mayor Ngaire Button said she would need proof that patched gang members were in New Brighton. “I’m not convinced that there is a problem, if the police say there is, then okay but I’m not keen on tying up staff resources on a wild goose chase,” she said. Cr Glenn Livingstone said he would support police in principle. “If the police think it would work then I would support it however as a cautionary note the more you try to suppress people the more they will rebel,” he said. New Brighton Business Association and Landowners manager Paul Zaanen said he was surprised police were considering bans. “I didn’t think it was that bad, I mean it is not Wanganui. But the police are obviously a bit more well informed and they must have a reason,” he said. Canterbury University sociologist Jarrod Gilbert, who has studied New Zealand gangs and just released a book on the subject, says the police have got it wrong. He said the it was unlikely police would be able to get around the High Court judgement by focusing on a smaller area. “I think they will hit the same legal snag,” he said. He said the Wanganui by-law was an “unmitigated disaster”. Banning gang patches would not solve problems in New Brighton, he said. “Quite simply it won’t solve gang issues in any way or form,” he said. “If they are committing crimes there are numerous laws like intimidation which they [the police] have in their arsenal,” he said. - APNZ

Man charged in Portman kidnap
• Pilot criticised A pilot who ditched his helicopter in a Northland bay has been criticised by crash investigators for a series of failings. Scott Finlayson, 45, ditched his Bell 206L3 LongRanger helicopter off Bream Bay, 30km south of Whangarei Heads, after experiencing engine power loss on January 20, 2011. He was rescued after treading water for two hours without a lifejacket. - APNZ
By Edward Gay The lawyer for a man charged with kidnapping Rae Portman, who was later found dead, says his client has fears for his safety. Dean Michael Addison appeared at the Papakura District Court yesterday and is alleged to have kidnapped Ms Portman. The 36-year-old also faces drugs charges, including possessing and supplying methamphetamine. Addison’s lawyer Mark Ryan applied for name suppression for his client, despite Addison’s name already being reported. Mr Ryan said Addison and his wife - who was also in court feared for their safety. Judge Sharon McAuslan asked what the fears were about. Mr Ryan replied: “Because of the background that Your Honour isn’t appraised of at this stage.” Crown prosecutor Anna Pollett opposed the application and said it was in the interests of the police investigation for Addison’s name to be reported. After speaking with Addison’s wife, Mr Ryan withdrew his application “so police can carry out their enquiries”. It is understood that Addison will apply for bail next week. Addison’s court appearance is the second development in the case this week. Another man, Lee Rigby,

Rae Portman appeared at the Manukau District Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to kidnapping Ms Portman. Police have arrested another man - Paraire Hori Te Awa - and charged him with Ms Portman’s murder. Ms Portman, 33, was four months’ pregnant when she went missing. Her body was found when police officers visited an Ardmore farm on the Papakura-Clevedon road in September last year. It is understood police did not expect to find a body when they visited the farm but became suspicious when they found items, including clothing, belonging to Ms Portman. They widened their search to

a spot by some trees about 300 metres across a paddock, and would say only that the body was found “covered”. It is understood it was in an offal pit. Investigators believe Ms Portman was killed about June 21 after she travelled to the Hamilton suburb of Te Rapa after visiting a Papakura address in Auckland. Police don’t believe she came back to the Auckland area alive, but would not say what they found in a distinctive yellow ute that followed her from Papakura to Hamilton, or whether Ms Portman was aware that the ute had followed her to Waikato. Her movements were traced by tracking her cellphone activity. - APNZ
Methven High School Form 3 classes of (from top) 1967, 1966 and 1965 got together for a school reunion last weekend. A meet and greet evening at the Methven Bowling Club on Friday night was followed by a dinner at Methven Resort on Saturday night. Organiser Melva Middleton said there were 90 people in attendance, and they had returned to Methven from as far away as America, Australia and the North Island. Saturday night had seen many efforts to sing the former Methven High School school song. “There was a couple of different versions of it,” Ms Middleton said. “It was wonderful to meet up with everyone again.”
Justice Minister Judith Collins has defended new Race Relations Commissioner, Dame Susan Devoy, amid calls for her resignation over past comments on Waitangi Day and the wearing of burqas. A day after Dame Susan was appointed to the role, her suitability was questioned because of opinion pieces she had written - one which criticised New Zealand’s national day and another which described the wearing of burqas in New Zealand as “disconcerting”. Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell questioned Mrs Collins’ appointment in Parliament yesterday. He noted that Dame Susan had “already courted controversy with her views”. Mana Party President Annette Sykes demanded that Dame Susan stand down because she was not fit for the role.
“It’s so disturbing that someone with a clearly expressed, racist viewpoint can be appointed to a job that’s about providing independent leadership and advice on race relations, including public education on the Treaty of Waitangi,” Ms Sykes said in a statement. She argued that Dame Susan failed to meet criteria for the job, which included knowledge of the Treaty of Waitangi and understanding of the issues which affected indigenous people. Dame Susan wrote a column in the Bay of Plenty Times which criticised the way Waitangi Day had been “marred” by protest. She expressed her frustration that New Zealand’s national holiday was not a day of celebration. In a separate column, she described burqas as “disconcerting” after witnessing an Auckland bus driver disallowing a woman from getting on board
shotgun on the guard, who was returning to his Armorguard van outside The Korner Bar at the Kelston Shopping Centre at 10am on Wednesday. However, he managed to lock himself inside the van before the robbers could reach him.
• Crash victim named A man hit and killed by a passing truck while he was getting out of a car on Wednesday has been named by police. Grant Edward Cormack Smith, a 43-yearold farmer, had pulled over to the side of Pound Rd in the Yaldhurst area outside of Christchurch around 12.10pm. -APNZ
because she would not remove her burqa to be identified. “Muslim women need to respect the need to sometimes de-robe in order to allow identification while New Zealanders should respect the personal choice made by these women without being ignorant and abusive,” she said. “I wouldn’t want to see us legislate the ban of the burqa as much as I find them disconcerting.” Mrs Collins said the comments were made before Dame Susan became commissioner, and she would not be as free to express her personal views in her new role. She added: “The Far Left does not have a monopoly on caring about race relations and Dame Susan Devoy is a very sensible and balanced person. “We’re allowed in this country to have views that have not been politically sanitised and what’s wrong with that?” - APNZ

Laura McIntosh, 28, of Timaru, was a pillion passenger on her partner Grant Roberts’ motorbike and received life-threatening injuries in the November 26 crash which killed him. - APNZ

Boy racers plan police protest By Samantha McPherson Boy racers are planning to strike back at police tonight with a co-ordinated protest outside the new central city police station in Christchurch. Police have been targeting areas frequently used by boy racers over the last month as part of Operation Hammer, to deter them from causing havoc on the roads and to put a stop to antisocial behaviour. Canterbury road policing manager Al Stewart said a small portion of boy racers displayed a “pack mentality” and were more “aggressive” toward police, who were seen as targets. One of the protest organisers, Tim Cummings, 30, said the “peaceful protest” has been organised to strike back at the police “to show that we will not tolerate the misappropriation of police powers and their complete misconduct towards boy racers and those of us out to have a good time”. “We are not going to cause trouble. We are sick of the way they are picking on us. We are going to do what they don’t like us doing parking up and congregating. We don’t want to annoy the public that’s why we have chosen to do it quite late. All we do is drive around in circles, park up and hang out. “The police make up wars against us. We know that we are fighting against the system which is never going to be changed. But we are going to make sure we get our point across,” he said. But Inspector Stewart advised those involved to “think carefully” about what they are doing and to not forget that “it is a police station full of officers who will be ready to
Ray still chops at 73 years of age
arrest those who offend”. “Everyone has a right to protest. If they are on the road, obeying traffic regulations and not obstructing traffic then there will be no problems. They have said it’s going to be a peaceful protest. But it will be a different story if they start offending. They will be arrested,” he said. A Facebook page called, CHCH Anti-Police Riot Squad, has not only been used to promote tonight’s protest but it’s been used to organise other gatherings and aggressive comments have been posted about what boy racers want to do to police. More than 100 cars are expected to descend on the central police station in St Asaph St tonight. Operation Hammer involves 25 additional police working Friday and Saturday nights to stop boy racers. The crackdown follows a similar operation in February, Operation Penguin, where police received 110 complaints about boy racer activity during the weekend of the cancelled Fours and Rotary Autoshow. Twenty cars were impounded and 41 were pink stickered. Inspector Stewart said since Operation Hammer started, there’s been a 70 per cent decrease in the number of boy racer related complaints. “Some boy racers are realising that their antisocial behaviour isn’t acceptable. But there is still a select few that haven’t quite got the message. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with these guys getting together in groups and sharing their enthusiasm but when their behaviour starts affecting other people, that’s when police have to step in,” he said. - APNZ

Schools out of pocket even with Novopay handout By Kate Shuttleworth Staff at one secondary school have spent nearly 700 hours dealing with mistakes with Novopay and say a $7000 payment will not cover the cost of the additional work. Lisl Prendergast, the principal of Lower Hutt’s Sacred Heart College, said two key staff had spent 337.5 hours each working on the problematic payroll system and had costed the hours at more than $40,000 worth of work. This was the equivalent to nearly two months spent working on Novopay for eight hours each working day. Mrs Prendergast asked her two key payroll administrators, the school’s deputy principal and executive officer, to supply her with invoices. Based on their salaries they calculated one would

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) Venus moves into your sign today Aries, giving you quite a cluster of planets in your sign and extra sex appeal. Solo?

You may want to do something more daring with your partner to add some lustre.
be owed $13,203, while the other $27,158 - a total of more than $40,000 in wages. “The number of hours they’ve spent on it is quite scary,” said Mrs Prendergast. Deputy principal Alison Spencer said prior to the new system being rolled out she would have spent one hour a week on payroll. This week Minister responsible for Novopay Steven Joyce announced a one-off $6 million compensation payment package for schools, calculated on a formula of $105 per teacher plus a $500 per school payment. This will mean a small school with five teachers will get $1025 and a large school with 120 teachers $13,100. The support package would be provided as recognition for additional work until the end of June, by which time it was expected that much of the backlog of issues would be
cleared by the newly created Backlog Clearance Unit. Schools have been told they will have to have to put up with troubled pay through Novopay for another eight weeks. Deloitte’s technical review, led by Murray Jack, found software platforms were unstable due to a backlog of 19,000 pay-related problems and 526 defects with Novopay. Mr Joyce said a plan for a backup system with Datacom would be escalated over the next eight weeks, but he said he might go ahead with the plan earlier. “It’s important to note any change would involve considerable additional rework for schools. If we reverted to the old system, there would be significant rework to update the pre-August Datacom database.” Mr Joyce said Datacom had

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Will you start to have second thoughts about a current involvement? Whether you are involved or single, the past can be an evocative draw and you may find yourself completely rethinking a situation that ended trickily from a new perspective. But in all sorts of relationships this can be a time for a review. Take your time with this Taurus.
CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Venus arrives in your solar Midheaven and in so doing can encourage you to be a little less spiky in chasing your goals.

not received any funds at this point to work on the backup system. An Education report, Update on Schools’ Payroll Project from January 27 last year, showed the Education Ministry had already made plans with Datacom. “As a fall-back option, the Ministry has engaged the incumbent payroll supplier Datacom to develop a proposal for a business continuity service which could be used in the event that Novopay fails. This would include the development of new software by Datacom.” The report went on to say the Datacom proposal would be completed on February 20 last year. The ministry finalised the contract extension costs with Datacom at $7 million, and said it would be paid from within Vote Education. - APNZ
LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) Getting to the truth of situations is something many of us need to do, at least if we have gone through a period of uncertainty. This may ring true for you now, especially if you have been unsure over a relationship. Don’t hold back from asking the questions you feel you need to have answered. Links with people overseas also look up from now.
VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) Venus moves into its most intense but penetrative location today. This could see you benefit from someone’s generosity in the next four weeks, or it may see you fall hopelessly in love with someone new. If it’s the latter, the chances are it will be a very intense relationship, one which can teach you a lot about yourself and your hidden needs.
Police have offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case of Jane Furlong, whose body was found on a beach 19 years after she went missing. Police announced the reward yesterday at a press conference in Auckland. They also confirmed that Ms Furlong’s partner at the time, Danny Norsworthy, was refusing to speak to investigators. Ms Furlong’s body was found on May 19 last year, buried deep in sand dunes at a south Auckland beach, 19 years after she was last seen alive. Ms Furlong, then just 17, disappeared from Karangahape Rd in the central city in May 1993. Her remains were found in a sandy grave at Sunset Beach near Port Waikato. Police believe she was murdered and continue to hunt for her killer. She had given birth to her son Aidan just months before she vanished. “The investigation team continues to work tirelessly on this mystery and has done so ever since the remains were confirmed as Jane’s. This announcement is just another phase in the operation,” said Detective inspector Mark Benefield, officer in charge of the homicide investigation. “We have interviewed and spoken with literally hundreds of people, some of whom have been less helpful than others. Our investigations have taken us far and wide and may continue to do so. “We know there are people who know what happened to Jane after she was reportedly last seen on May 26, 1993 and those people owe it to themselves, Jane’s memory, her family and friends to tell us what they know.” It was not clear when she died or when she was buried at Port Waikato but police believed it was possible she may have been alive for at least a few days after she was reportedly last seen. “Our overriding objectives have always been to establish - as best we can - when, where, how and at whose hands Jane died and how she ended up buried at Port Waikato,” Mr Benefield said. “We believe more than one person was involved or at least has vital information about her disappearance and death.” -APNZ

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) If you have been really putting in the hours on the professional front you may feel that you are due a change of scene and a change of emphasis. Slogging away at major aims can seem a whole lot less attractive. Being playful, active and interacting more with friends can be a much better draw. One friend can become a closer buddy.
Ashburton’s Ray Harraway is still going strong at woodchopping events 58 years after taking up the sport. The 73-year-old, pictured at the Methven A&P Show on Saturday, has achieved 13 New Zealand records, and still holds 11 of those. He said one of those of which he was most proud was chopping through pinus radiata in just 17 seconds. “With the improvement in axes and things they still haven’t beaten that record.” He said there was some “very big men” cutting wood today, and those with weight behind them would often hit slow and hard. Mr Harraway’s technique was to go as fast as he could, getting the axe in just the right place each time. At the show Mr Harraway performed well, winning the 12 inch under-hand chop and coming second in the veterans’ underhand. He was not the oldest chopper there on the day, with an 83-year-old and 79-year-old, both from the West Coast, competing. “It’s a sport you can stay at for quite a while I think, as long as you stay reasonably fit,” Mr Harraway said.

Mars and Uranus can make you edgy and perhaps even hypercritical. Instead, look to make sure everything you do is done well and keep a low profile. The day will pass off better.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) A much more outgoing phase for your social life and romantic prospects kicks in from today, but things could prove quite chaotic. If you like unpredictability and lots of spark you will be in your element. If you are in a settled tie but things have got a bit too cosy, you may be tempted to provoke a row to create some extra excitement!
CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) The urge to change things has been strong over the last few days, but if you have started to make the physical alterations, Venus’s move today can help you to start bringing some order to proceedings. This may see you deciding to give your home, or a room in it, a decorative makeover, or you may decide to move altogether.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Over the next four weeks someone, somewhere is going to be captivated, not just by what you say but also by how you say it. If you have a natural talent for speaking, writing or even signing, your talents can reach a wider audience. If you are looking to date anyone new the internet or newspaper ads can trigger an attraction.

Kabul, US ‘reach deal’ on pull-out The United States and Kabul appear to have reach an agreement on the pull-out of coalition forces from a strategic province, nearly a month after an ultimatum from Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Karzai on February 24 ordered American special forces to leave Wardak, a hotbed of Taliban activity on the doorstep of Kabul, within two weeks. It accused Afghans they work with of torture and murder that has incited local hatred. In recent weeks Karzai has been staking out increasingly nationalist ground, deepening a war of words that threatens to derail Nato attempts to ensure a smooth security transition before most Western troops leave next year. But the agreement, which left many questions unanswered and
made no explicit mention of special forces, will be seen as a compromise for Karzai and as a further sign of his government’s reliance on the US-led coalition. Only hours earlier, Karzai’s office branded Nato military operations “aimless and unwise”. But he had already backtracked on his two-week deadline, giving US commanders more time to negotiate the security handover in Wardak. “I am pleased to announce that following a very constructive series of talks ... we have come to agreement on a plan for Wardak,” said General Joseph Dunford, the US commander of Nato troops, following talks with Karzai. The US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said Afghan forces would “soon” move into the district of Nerkh,
which “will preclude” the need for coalition forces and Afghan Local Police, a controversial, US-trained unit, to remain in the area. But Nerkh is only one of eight districts in Wardak. ISAF said the “remainder of the province would transition over time”, but no dates were announced and Afghan officials contacted by AFP were tight-lipped on the details. Relations between Karzai and Washington have been increasingly troubled, with the bulk of Nato’s 100,000 combat soldiers due to leave by the end of next year. The United States, which provides 66,000 of the total, was stunned by the accusations this month from Karzai, who accused the US of colluding with the Taliban to justify its presence in – AFP the country.
Rape accuser taunted on social media A 13-year-old girl who accused two high school American football players of raping her is being taunted on social media, in a case very similar to one in Ohio that led to the rape conviction of two high school athletes over the weekend. Two 18-year-old high school players in the state of Connecticut, Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, were charged on Tuesday with felony second-degree sexual assault and other crimes last month in cases involving different 13-yearold girls. Toribio also was charged two weeks ago in another second-
degree sexual assault case. At least one of the alleged victims has been taunted on social media by dozens of upset classmates, the newspaper reported. Students have called a girl a “whore” and bashed her for “snitching” and “ruining” the players’ lives. A state judge sealed details of the allegations from public view. Both teens have pleaded not guilty to all charges. The arrests were first reported by The Register Citizen newspaper. State prosecutor Terri Sonnemann declined to comment
on the sexual assault cases and on whether authorities are investigating the online taunts. Gonzalez’s lawyer, J. Patten Brown III, said he hasn’t seen the state’s evidence yet, but has been told the charges allege consensual, but statutorily illegal, sex. He said Gonzalez is not making any admissions about having relations with the girl and intends to fight the charges. “Oftentimes people are arrested and when all the facts come out they’re different than what people – AP assumed,” Brown said.

Dairy giant Fonterra has launched a “world-first” bottle that it says will protect milk from light and keep it fresher and tasting better for longer. The triple-layer bottle technology developed over three years was the first packaging of its kind for fresh milk and cream, and was a “game changer” for the dairy industry, said Fonterra managing director of brands Peter McClure said at the launch in downtown Auckland yesterday. “This is absolutely without a doubt Fonterra’s biggest innovation yet.” The 100 per cent lightproof bottle is made up of white, black and white layers, made from the same recyclable material as existing plastic bottles. Taste and freshness were the biggest drivers of consumers’ milk choice and research showed many used the “sniff test” to check milk was still fresh
to
stock up
before the expiry date. Research showed about 7 per cent of all fresh milk was thrown out “because people think it smells off”, said Fonterra group marketing manager of brands Craig Irwin. Packaging such as tetra cartons and white see-through bottles allowed 7-25 per cent of light through, he said. Milk starts spoiling as soon as it was exposed to light. The difference could be detected six minutes after it was exposed to sunlight and in two hours in fluorescent light. As soon as milk was exposed to light it started to breakdown and produce free radicals, a process which started before it reached consumers’ fridges. “Light damage is a process that can’t be reversed and once started does not stop impacting its taste. This triplelayer protection will stop this happening”, said Mr McClure. “All these reactions are never kicked off because it never sees the light and

Primary industries grew 9.4 per cent on an annual basis, led by a 15 per cent gain in agriculture from favourable season at the start of the year. The strength in the primary sector comes before official figures start showing the impact of the drought
conditions across New Zealand’s North Island. The arid climate has seen dairy prices surge on dwindling supply, and the potential cost of the drought has been put as high as $2 billion. Statistics NZ said the impacts won’t show up until more comprehensive

The New Zealand economy grew at the fastest quarterly pace in three years in the tail-end of last year as demand for forestry exports underpinned gains in the primary sector. The kiwi dollar climbed on the figures. Gross domestic product grew 1.5 per cent to $36.81 billion in the three months ended December 31, from a 0.2 per cent pace in the September period, according to Statistics New Zealand. That’s almost twice the 0.8 per cent pace of expansion predicted by the Reserve Bank in its latest forecasts published last week and the fastest pace since December 2009. The economy grew at an annual pace of 2.5 per cent, the highest annual GDP growth since March 2008. Activity in the December quarter was 3 per cent higher than the same period in 2011. The New Zealand dollar jumped to 82.58 US cents from 82.23 cents immediately before the figures were released. The trade-weighted index rose to 76.08 from 75.79 and the kiwi climbed to 79.57 Australian cents from 79.18 cents. Primary industries activity grew 3.2 per cent in the December period, underpinned by a 9 per cent lift in forestry, and is at the highest level since the series began in June 1987. Those gains offset a fall in dairy production, which was reflected in a decline in dairy product exports.
increased spending across the board. It has expanded 3.5 per cent on an annual basis. Construction grew 1.8 per cent in the quarter, its fifth straight gain, on the strength of heavy and civil engineering. The sector has grown 6.1 per cent annually, though is still below it speak in June 2010. Manufacturing was the only sector to contract in the quarter, shrinking 0.5 per cent. The decline was its second in a row, the first time it has reported two consecutive contractions since September 2010. The decline was put down to an 8.7 per cent fall in petroleum, chemical, plastic and rubber products manufacturing. The expenditure measure of GDP, which measures the final purchases of locally produced goods and services, grew 1.4 per cent in the quarter, and was up 3 per cent annually. Household consumption grew 1.6 per cent in the quarter, the biggest gain in six years, with increased spending across the board. Spending was up 2.3 per cent in the year. Gross fixed capital formation, which is made up of business investment and residential building investment, grew 2.2 per cent in the period, with a 2 per cent gain in residential investment and a 2.2 per cent lift in business investment. GFCF grew 6.6 per cent annually. Inventories were run down by $131 million in the quarter, after a revised build-up of $389 million in the September period. – APNZ

the milk retains its shelf life,” Anchor innovations manager Olaf Van Daalen said. Consumers could expect the product to taste as good at the end of its 15-day shelf life as on day one, he said. While the new packaging cost more than existing bottles to produce, consumers would not be paying more for them. Feedback on the product had been positive so far, with baristas saying the milk was easier to texture and stretch when it was very fresh and it had a better taste. Mr McClure said it was hoped the development would encourage Kiwis to drink more milk, as figures showed consumption had dropped. New Zealanders drink on average 1.8 litres of milk each per week. Television ad campaigns for the lightproof bottles for milk and cream start on Sunday, and the products will be on shelves from April 8. – APNZ

official interest because of the growing threat to the tax base caused by the global growth of online retailing. While it was “conceptually attractive” to get credit companies and banks to collect taxes and duties on goods crossing borders, it would be costly and impractical, the ISCR paper says. “We believe the most promising long-term solution is the establishment of a multi-lateral agreement through Apec or other international organisations designed to encourage, rather than force, online firms to collect and remit sales taxes to the respective nations.” The proposal got its first public airing at a seminar in Wellington yesterday. – APNZ

Obama vows peace on visit to Israel “Peace must come to the Holy Land,” Barack Obama said as he landed in Israel for the first time as US president in a bid to ease tensions with his hosts and to frame policy on Syria and Iran. Israeli leaders showered Obama with personal praise for defending the Jewish state’s security and existence, in a lavish welcoming ceremony at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport at the start of a three-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories. “Our alliance is eternal, it is forever,” Obama declared on a bright morning after Air Force One rolled to a stop, warning that tumultuous change sweeping the Middle East brought both promise and peril for Israel. “It is in our fundamental national security interests to stand with Israel. It makes us both stronger,” Obama said, launching a visit draped in symbolism but bringing little hope of progress towards IsraeliPalestinian peace. Israeli President Shimon Peres praised Obama as a “remarkable world leader” who had shown a deep personal commitment to protect Israel, taking implicit aim at a perception the US president is not sufficiently warm to the Jewish state. “A world without your friendship would invite aggression against Israel ... In times of peace, in times of war, your support for Israel is unshakeable,” Peres said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom Obama has had a prickly relationship, was also effusive. “Thank you, Mr President, for upholding the Jewish people’s right for a Jewish state in our homeland and for boldly defending that right in the United Nations,” Netanyahu said.

Finland may tax unpaid labour Finland’s tax authority is trying to find new ways to increase revenue and is considering going so far as to tax unpaid labour, an official has told public broadcaster YLE. The tax office was looking at service exchanges in particular, such as time banking, where reciprocal services are exchanged using units of time as currency, or more informal arrangements such as that between two neighbours.
“If the neighbourhood electrician and carpenter are involved in each other’s private house construction the value of the work performance is already quite high. It would be extraordinary if neither of their work would be taxed,” a leading tax expert from the Finnish Tax Administration, Sami Varonen, told YLE. He said it didn’t matter that not a single cent had been paid. “The value must be determined
and declared to be taxed,” he said. “We have a tax deficit due to many causes, but the most serious problems are in sectors that deliberately want to avoid taxes and also function this way,” Varonen said. “The alarm clock should ring ... when somebody does some work and at the same time agrees to pay or give something as compensation. Then one needs to start to find out what obligations – AFP result from it.”
tem trucked to the airport. For all the soaring rhetoric, Obama’s long-awaited visit – the debut overseas trip of his
second term – may be marked more by symbolism than serious diplomatic substance and will expose diminished US ambitions
of forging peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The president says he is carrying no new peace plans and instead intends to listen to the new Israeli government and Palestinians disaffected with his approach, leading some experts to question why he is coming at all. He must also navigate the treacherous regional politics of the Middle East, facing new scrutiny over his wariness of deeper US involvement in Syria as government forces and rebels accuse one another of using chemical arms. During his visit, Obama will pointedly court the historic symbolism of the Jewish State when he inspects the Dead Sea Scrolls and visits the tomb of Theodor Herzl, founder of modern Zionism. The choreography is intended to show Israelis, Arabs and political foes back home that Obama is deeply committed to Israel’s security and future, despite some scepticism about his motives. He is on tricky political ground: a survey by the independent Israel Democracy Institute showed that while 51 per cent of the Jewish Israeli considered Obama neutral toward Israel, 53.5 per cent did not trust him with Israel’s vital interests. So, mounting a charm offensive, Obama will deliver a speech to hundreds of young Israelis today. Obama and Netanyahu will have to smooth over an often difficult personal chemistry following previous spats, but the visit is unlikely to narrow differences over how soon Iran will have a nuclear weapons capability. Obama told Israeli television that Iran would not be able to build a nuclear weapon for “over a year or so”. – AFP

The craft appears to have clipped a tree before plummeting into a grassed area near the Panorama House function centre at Bulli Tops yesterday. The helicopter crashed about 50 metres from the centre in a clearing used for landing and take-off by sightseeing helicopters. Staff rushed out with fire extinguishers but were beaten back by flames and – AAP heat.
N. Korea threatens US bases in Japan The North Korean army has threatened it is capable of striking US military bases in Japan, in response to the use of nucleararmed US B-52 bombers in joint military drills with South Korea. The threat came a day after Pyongyang condemned the B-52 flights as an “unpardonable provocation” and threatened military action if they continue. The Pentagon confirmed B-52s, taking off from Andersen
Air Force base in Guam, had flown over South Korea as part of annual joint exercises that Pyongyang insist are a rehearsal for provocation. “We cannot tolerate the US carrying out nuclear strike drills, setting us as targets, and advertising them as strong warning messages,” a spokesman for the North’s supreme army command said yesterday. “The US should not forget
that the Anderson base ... as well as naval bases at Japan’s main island and Okinawa, are all within the range of our precision target assets,” he said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency. Military tensions on the Korean peninsula are at their highest level in years, with North Korea – angered by UN sanctions imposed after its nuclear test last month – threatening a second
Korean War backed by nuclear weapons. B-52s have taken part in South Korea-US joint exercises before, but the Pentagon said it had publicised their use this time to underline a US commitment to defending its South Korean ally. “As the US has started naked nuclear blackmail, we will move on to corresponding military actions,” the North’s army spokesman said. – AFP
Nearly 100,000 strike in UK Roadkill makes it on to legal menu At least 95,000 civil servants have gone on strike in Britain, closing courts and museum galleries in a dispute over pay, pensions and working conditions timed to coincide with the government’s annual budget. The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union claimed almost 200,000 of its members joined the one-day walkout, although the government put the figure at 95,000. Up to 200 people joined a rally outside parliament as Finance Minister George Osborne was delivering his 2013 budget, where he pushed ahead with his austerity programme despite stagnant growth. Ahead of the strike, designed to kick-off a three-month program
of action, PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka warned that the government’s policy of cutting public spending was not working. “Civil and public servants are working harder than ever to provide the services we all rely on but, instead of rewarding them, the government is imposing cuts to their pay, raiding their pensions and trying to rip up their basic working conditions,” he said. Picket lines were set up outside government offices across the country, while job centres and courts were forced to close or reduce services because of a lack of staff, the union said. The Tate Liverpool and the National Museum of Scotland shut for the day, while other
museums including the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum in London had to close galleries. “We believe the turnout is 78 per cent of our 250,000 members,” a PCS official said. “We’re getting reports from all over the country that job centres and courts are being shut down.” However, the government minister with responsibility for public servants, Francis Maude, said the number of strikers was far lower. “I can reassure the public that we are keeping essential services open. Our rigorous contingency plans are in place across all sectors and as a result there has been minimal impact on public – AFP services,” Maude said.
Elk, deer, antelope and moose: If residents of one US state can scrape it up off the road, they can eat it. Montana lawmakers are poised to say just that after the state Senate gave its initial support yesterday to a bill that would allow people to salvage roadkill for food. The measure is now a final vote from heading to Governor Steve Bullock. Supporters say it makes no sense to let the carcasses go to waste.
“It really is a sin to waste a good meat,” said state senator Larry Jent. The measure calls for law enforcement officers to issue permits to individuals who would be allowed to remove the carcasses of elk, deer, antelope and moose off the state’s roadways. The Western state, sometimes known as Big Sky Country, has plenty of rural roads and big animals that wander across them. Opponents question whether the meat would be safe and whether it would create liability issues for food banks that accept it. Senator Kendall Van Dyk said law enforcement officers are not qualified to decide whether roadkill is safe to eat. “Despite its good intention, it doesn’t pass the smell test for me,” Van Dyke
said. Cattle ranchers like Senator Jim Peterson questioned how roadkill could be harvested for food when the cattle industry must follow strict federal regulations. Montana is not alone in considering the usefulness of roadkill. Illinois allows people with a permit to remove roadkill for pelts and also allows for the salvaging of meat. Alaska Fish and Wildlife Protection Troopers run a programme that divides approximately 820 moose carcasses to charitable organisations, like churches and non-profit organisations, who cook up moose meat for needy people. As to whether the measure would create a new weapon for hunters – the car – Jent said he doesn’t see that as plausible. “We don’t have very many suicidal – AP drivers,” Jent said.

The Ashburton College under 16 girls’ quad of Jessica Jary, Jemma Rotch, Georgia Lysaght and Olivia Fleming load the boat into Lake Karapiro at the Maadi Cup.
Lining up for Maadi medals By Jonathan Leask Ashburton College rowers have five boats in A finals and three in B finals at the Maadi Cup and with only one boat on the water today when the finals are run it will hopefully be a super Saturday. After three good days on the water in the National Secondary School Championships at Lake Karapiro, semi-final Thursday produced some mixed results but College still had five crews reach their goal of an A final. For the first time this season, Kate Hayman had a boat finish ahead of her in the single. Hamilton Girls’ High School’s Georgia Allen pipped Hayman by 0.75 seconds in the under 17 single, the first time Hayman hasn’t won in the single boat this season.
“It might not sound right but sometimes it’s good for (Kate) to come in second,� coach Steve Beveridge said. “That way the pressure comes on a bit and she usually delivers well under pressure.� That theory rang true as almost two hours later the two rowers lined up against each other again in the under 18 single and a fired up Hayman produced the fastest qualifying time. After the earlier setback Hayman levelled the score with a win by 0.49 seconds, in what was a faster race time-wise. After the close races yesterday Hayman will only be focused on the next one, the under 17 A final today where she will look to settle the score. But that wasn’t it for Hayman yesterday, securing a third A final when she teamed up with Georgia Lysaght in the under 17 double.
They had did enough to progress to the A final when the settled for a fourth place finish, holding a five second advantage on the fifth placed boat. The boys’ under 18 novice coxed four of Sean McCormack, Benji Barry, Lachie Davidson, Mark Tait and cox Madeleine Davidson will also appear in the A final after snatching fourth place by 0.59 in their semi-final. The last College boat on the water for the day was Matthew Beveridge in the under 16 boys’ single, and in one of the closest finishes of the day Beveridge claimed fourth to advance to the A final. Apart from a clear winner, Beveridge was in a four-way fight at the line with only one boat missing out and Beveridge nudged himself into A final by 0.74, with just 0.20 separating second and Beveridge in fourth.
Breakers-Perth match far from dead rubber By Kris Shannon Tongues would have been wagging at league headquarters when the Australian NBL schedule produced a clash between Perth and the Breakers on the final weekend of the season. The defending champions against the team they conquered to take the title. Two teams who genuinely dislike each other. The competition’s best rivalry for the last couple of seasons, cresting with an epic encounter to establish the top dog before the playoffs. The reality, though, will see tonight’s game at Perth Arena (tipoff midnight NZT) produce a watered-down version of the rivalry. Both teams sealed their playoff fate long ago, while the Breakers clinched a third straight minor premiership and home advantage in the playoffs with a couple of weeks to spare. As the only sides in the competition with winning records, the game could be deemed the definition of a dead rubber. It is a mere curtain-raiser before, if the predictions hold true, the teams meet for the main event in next month’s grand final series. But therein lies the intrigue. Neither side will be willing to take a backward step and potentially provide the other any kind of edge heading into the playoffs. At the same time, though, there will be wariness about
Dillon Boucher: on his farewell tour revealing one’s hand too early and wasting the perfect plan on a glorified warm-up game. The balance both sides try to find between those duelling objectives will be what makes tonight’s meeting worth watching. It will be much more tactically acute than the blood-andthunder battles the Breakers and Wildcats usually produce. “Everybody loves playing against Perth, especially over there,� said power forward Mika Vukona, who has overcome his ankle injury and will take the court. “Any kind of psychological advantage that you can gain going into the playoffs is good. “Nobody likes losing to Perth, they don’t like losing to us. It’s going to get pretty emotional over there.� Andrej Lemanis, not one to be ruled by emotions, has already said he intends to play his strongest side,

though that is more about maintaining a winning rhythm than getting one-up on counterpart Rob Beveridge, his chief opponent for the vacant Australian job. And that winning rhythm, which has produced 16 straight victories, may itself provide the Breakers motivation. The players and coaching staff are at pains to tell you only one number matters - a certain three-peat of championships - but an unbeaten streak stretching more than 100 days does lend itself to preservation. If the Breakers beat Perth tonight and run the table in the playoffs, the second of those series sweeps would be the Breakers’ 21st consecutive win, tying the all-time league record. That would be some exclamation mark on their sustained stretch of success. Vukona, who was this week nominated for best defensive player in the annual awards, found another reason for fans to tune into the final regular season game. It will be the latest stop on the retiring Dillon Boucher’s farewell tour and, although the veteran could get one last taste of the wild west in the grand final, Vukona wanted to send his teammate away a winner. “It would be nice to send Dillon off on a nice note with a final win in the regular season. “To win that in Perth, there’s nothing sweeter than that, especially for a guy that’s played for many years.� - APNZ

Beveridge opted to hang in for fourth spot rather than finish strong after having a big workload earlier in the day. While Beveridge was happy with how his day finished it wasn’t shaping up that way earlier. The boys’ under 16 double of Beveridge and Matthew Rae came in sixth in their semi-final and will race in the B final, and the lightweight double of Beveridge and Adam Hodge narrowly missed out on the A final coming in fifth but will also race a B final. The girls’ under 16 coxed four will also contest a B final after coming in fifth in their repechage. Events one-to-24 have their finals today with only Hayman in the under 17 single on the water and the rest of College’s crews back in action tomorrow.
• Redmond a Knight Former Mid Canterbury flanker Gary Redmond has been named to start for the Crusaders Knights against Samoa A in the Pacific Rugby Cup at Christchurch Park tomorrow. Redmond will start in an XV featuring five Crusaders squad or wider training group members. Adrian Barone and Pa’ea Fa’anunu fill the prop positions, while lock Joel Everson, number eight Jordan Taufua and centre Kieran Fonatia all make the starting fifteen.
• Carney a Warrior? The Warriors are keeping a watching brief on Todd Carney’s movements and could attempt to lure him to Mt Smart if things don’t work out at Cronulla. The 26-year-old five-eighth is off contract at the end of the season and had been ready to re-commit to the Sharks until coach Shane Flanagan was stood down amid the drugs scandal engulfing the club. Carney knows Matt Elliott and the Warriors coach is keen to sign him. “I have known Todd since he as 15 and we are quite close,â€? Elliott said. “We are not chasing him at this stage. I have spoken to Toddy and his preference is to stay at Cronulla. I said, ‘if that preference changes or you’re not going to get a deal done there, let us know’. He - APNZ hasn’t let me know.â€?
• Signing boosts Wests Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter says Robbie Farah’s re-signing is a massive boost to the club ahead of tonight’s NRL encounter with Parramatta at Leichhardt Oval. Skipper Farah ended speculation about his future by putting pen to paper on a four-year deal in which the 29-year-old will end his career with the joint-venture. The good news ends a tumultuous six months for the Tigers who started last season as premiership favourites, and ended with the acrimonious departure of long-time coach Tim Sheens after missing the finals. - AAP
• Dragons under fire Under pressure and desperate for a win, St George Illawarra coach Steve Price could be forgiven for cursing an away trip to hoodoo side Canberra on Sunday. Price, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is already battling to save his job after defeats to Melbourne and Brisbane in the opening two rounds of the campaign. A third straight loss would represent the Dragons’ worst start since 2005 - and the stats are not in their favour ahead of the trip to the nation’s capital where they’ve tasted defeat on their past 10 - AAP visits.

No shortage of strikers for Herbert
• Drag out that racket Squash players throughout Mid Canterbury will be dusting off the rackets as a new season of the interclub competition looms. Invitations have been extended to the 11 participating clubs by the Geraldine club, which is running the competition again this year under the auspices of Mid Canterbury Squash, and a starting date of April 23 is anticipated.
• Big day for cricketers Three Mid Canterbury cricketers get to play out a childhood dream of taking on their heroes this weekend. Ben Mably, Shaun Stagg and Jack Meyrick line up in the Governor General’s XI on Sunday taking on the Willows Past New Zealand XI, a team featuring the likes of Stephen Fleming, Chris Harris, Craig Cumming and Geoff Allott, at the Willows Cricket Club in Loburn.
By Adrian Seconi All Whites coach Ricki Herbert has a dilemma to resolve. He has so much talent up front that some very good players will either have to reinvent themselves as midfielders or watch tonight’s World Cup qualifier against New Caledonia from the sidelines of Forsyth Barr Stadium. Chris Wood is unlikely to be one of them. The Leicester City striker has been in fine goal-scoring form since transferring from West Bromich Albion late last year. He scored twice in his debut for Leicester and a couple of weeks later poked in a hat trick before half-time in a match against Bristol City. “We have talent all the way through the team from the back to the front,” Wood said. “There are a lot of good strikers in this team these days, so it is good competition for us all. All the strikers are on form ... so if you are not playing well then you won’t find yourself in the team.” It is not until you go through the long list of players with attacking mindsets that you realise just what a tough decision Herbert has in front of him. Perth Glory’s Shane Smeltz is a proven goal-scorer and Chris Killen is one of the All Whites’ most experienced strikers. Jeremy Brockie has been doing his best for the Wellington Phoenix, knocking in goals from everywhere. Then there is Marco Rojas and Kosta Barbarouses to consider. You can only play so many attacking midfielders or strikers in one team. Once Wood returns to his club, he has the prospect of promotion to the Premier League to keep him hungry. The top two teams in the Championship earn automatic promotion but the teams placed third to sixth play off, with the winner earning promotion.
• Girls eye top spot
Chris Wood: scoring heavily in the English Premier League Leicester is in sixth spot with eight games remaining. “It is very exciting. We just need to knuckle down for these [remaining] games to make sure we keep ourselves in the playoff places.” If Leicester is successful, Wood believes the team has the talent to compete in the Premier League, which is ultimately where he would like to play his football. Wood came off the bench for West Brom to play a Premier League match against Portsmouth in April 2009. He was just the fifth New Zealander to play in the league. - Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Glen Moss has been ruled out of the All Whites squad for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands. Moss picked up a knee injury during the All Whites’ first training session in Dunedin and, after being monitored over 24 hours, was ruled out yesterday. Mark Paston, who was dropped at the Phoenix in favour of Moss, will assume the gloves while Jacob Spoonley has been called into the squad as a replacement for both - ODT matches.

Baillie Perriton leads rival Richard Willets during racing in last week’s fourth round of the National Superbike 250 production championships at Hampton Downs.
Baillie looking for better luck By Jonathan Leask Baillie Perriton is aiming for a top tilt in Taupo in the fifth and final round of the New Zealand Superbike Championships this weekend. Misfortune has plagued the youngster so far in his first 250 production class series, with Perriton having a rough weekend at Hampton Downs last weekend. Battling the flu and taking a tumble on the practice day he still managed to pick up some valuable points in the race for second place. Heading into this weekend’s final round first place is a foregone conclusion with Australian Luke Burgess well out in front after winning 11 of the 12 races to date, Perriton the only other rider to pick up a win.
With Burgess well out in front on points, and on the track, the rest of the field are looking to be the top kiwi with Perriton facing a battle with Richard Willets, who moved into second on 144 points with Perriton 10 points back in third. At times Perriton has been the only one to challenge Burgess but misfortune has followed the youngster throughout his maiden series, but he has shown his skill to still be in with a shot at second. Perriton made a superb debut coming second in all three races in the first round at Ruapuna. 19-year-old Burgess, the current Australian 250 production champion, claimed the clean sweep in convincing fashion, but Perriton closed the gap in every start. In the second round in Timaru Perriton was keeping pace with
Burgess, leading the first race on the last lap before he went down in a crash that forced him to sit out the rest of the weekend while his rivals picked up valuable championship points. The trip to Invercargill got off to a wobbly start, crashing in practice session and gearbox issues in qualifying but Perriton came out flying in the first race. The previously unbeaten Burgess lost his clutch on the first lap and Perriton made the most of the opportunity to take a convincing win by 14 seconds. More machine failure had Perriton record a DNF in race two and as the Southland winds picked up the team opted for the safety-first approach but still came in third. After a month’s break the series headed north to Hampton Downs
but the misfortune followed Perriton. Battling the flu to begin with, Perriton was clipped in practice suffering a crash that left him banged up and the bike in bad shape. Perriton looked uncomfortable at times but still managed to qualify fourth, but jumping the start in the first two races cost him 20 second time penalties to come in seventh and fourth before a rain affected final race had him again opted for a safety first finish to come in fifth. After having his share of bad luck, Perriton will be hoping for a good run this weekend to surge up into second. Fellow Ashburton rider Darcy Prendergast returned to the series last weekend after previously only racing at Ruapuna and picked up 37 points at Hampton Downs to move up to 95 points to sit tied for eighth.
Umpires up for new season Turf gets first workout By Jonathan Leask Netballers are gearing up for the start of the season, and so too are the umpires. Mid Canterbury Netball is holding a pre-season Fast 5 tournament on April 7, with grading starting a week later before the competition matches begin on May 11. While the players have been busy getting ready, umpires across the country are getting re-tuned with 19 workshops across netball New Zealand’s five zones. In the past month, 320 coaches have been advised of their appointments as umpire coaches and asses-
sors at centre, zone or national level. A new structured training programme for Netball New Zealand community umpire coaches and assessors is under way, aimed at improving the quality of umpires through improved coaching. Coaches are being asked to adopt an umpire-centred approach to coaching so that umpires learn to problem solve, self-evaluate and make decisions about how to improve without relying on others to make those decisions for them. A number of coaches had a taste at the preliminary workshops last year and will be able to consolidate their learning at this year’s sessions. “Many are very experienced coach-
es already but are taking the opportunity to freshen up their coaching techniques and become familiar with current trends in umpiring,” Netball New Zealand Umpire Development Manager Dianne McTigue said. “For some it is challenging as they have done things the same way for many years, but I was very pleased with the start made last year and am sure it will make a difference longer term to the quality of our umpires.” McTigue said that the majority of umpires were expressing appreciation for the style of coaching as they are being encouraged to analyse their performance and suggest ways to improve or explain how they saw the situation on court.
Shield back on the agenda By Jonathan Leask Tennis’ Browning Shield has been in decline for the past decade, but a revision of the format is aimed at saving the representative tennis competition. This weekend four teams will turn out at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre to play a round robin over one weekend, hopefully resurrecting the relevance of the shield. Over the years the widespread decline in the number of open grade players saw the team numbers cut from 12 men and 12 women to six of each, and still the travel factor proved finding enough players a hard task. The Browning Shield was first played for in the 1936-37 season after being presented by Mr R Browning, secretary of Canterbury Lawn Tennis. The Shield has been played for between Ellesmere, Hurunui, Malvern, Banks Peninsula, Mid Canterbury and North Canterbury, who are all members
of the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Sub Association - better known as Canterbury Country. The West Coast joined in 2002 while Banks Peninsula Tennis was disbanded in the early 1990s and Hurunui combined with North Canterbury in 2006. Historically they have played a round robin competition during the season. In the 2010 season the Mid Canterbury team pulled out due to the lack of availability of the open grade players on Sundays finally coming to a head after several seasons of struggling to piece together a team, especially for their away matches. So a meeting of the minds came up with a solution. Play the round robin over one weekend, at one location, meaning the players only have to commit to one weekend to complete the competition. Ellesmere, Malvern, North Canterbury-Hurunui and a Mid Canterbury-West Coast combined team will turn out at the tennis centre this weekend, playing a round robin over
two days. Current Shield holders Malvern have won the trophy 10 times in the last 14 seasons, sharing it once with Ellesmere, who account for three other wins over the period. Mid Canterbury first won the Browning Shield in the 1939-40 season, the first of 15 wins with the last in 1980-81, when Mid Canterbury claimed a hat-trick of wins, but has been unable to win it since. This weekend under the new format and on home turf they look to break a 32 year drought. Mid Canterbury representatives for this weekend will be Rhys Cromie, Jayden Cromie, Tom Deeley, Jack Deeley and Joseph Langley, with Peter Leonard on standby for the combined men’s line-up. In the women’s Ashleigh Leonard, Rebecca Robinson, Christal Brosnahan, Mary Anne Thyne, Jane Brosnahan, Stacey Hopwood, Milly Young and Larissa Allan are expected to supplement the players from the West Coast to take on the other three teams.
By Jonathan Leask Senior hockey returns for the season tomorrow, and two new local teams will get the first taste of the new blue turf. Mid Canterbury has four teams in the Mid-South Canterbury competition this year with Tinwald re-joining the men’s competition after a year out of action, while Hampstead returns to the women’s competition replacing Collegians. After a year’s absence Tinwald are back and get first go on the new blue turf. “The side is made up of a majority of the guys who played in Tinwald two years ago, and a number of guys who didn’t play last year but wanted to come back,” Tinwald coach Ian Snowball said. “We haven’t had much of a build-up but I’m confident we have a good young team. It just might take a few games to gel but we’ll see how we go.” Tinwald open the season against Excelsior, a team full of surprises last season.
The two Wakanui men’s sides start the season down the road in Timaru with Wakanui Black taking on the unknown quantity of Timaru Boys’ and Wakanui Blue clashing with Cambridge. Black are the two time defending champions of the Walker and Hall Shield, beating Blue in last year’s

It took a triple-double from LeBron James against his former team to secure an epic comeback and extend defending NBA champion Miami Heat’s winning streak to 24 games. Down by 27 points in the third quarter against weaklings Cleveland Cavaliers, the Heat rallied to win 98-95 yesterday thanks to a stunning effort from James, who scored 25 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, made 10 assists and hit two key-free throws with 4.7 seconds to play. The victory moved Miami within nine
’
final. Blue battled inconsistency but finished the season strongly to make the final. Both teams figure to be battling it out at the business end again, with Blue hoping it will be their turn. “Its would be nice to keep the status quo and have the Wakanui sides up the top but even nicer if we finished top, but that’s a long way away,” Wakanui Blue’s Sam Moore said. “We started late and the early
start to the season has caught us on the hop but we have looked alright in the few pre-season games. “Both (Wakanui) teams are practically the same as last year bar one or two with both gaining and losing a couple of players.” The name Hampstead returns to the fray after a year off in the women’s competition, essentially talking the place of Collegians, but incorporates a number of the latter’s former players. Hampstead couldn’t muster enough players for a senior side last year and by season’s end Collegians struggled for numbers. The simple solution was a combining of the left-over forces with the players opting to go under the Hampstead banner. The 2011 Hampstead side battled away all season long with just one win and last year’s Collegians team had a similar record last year. The new Hampstead take on Timaru Girls’, who were the lower ladder strugglers with Collegians last year, in the season opener in Ashburton.
Clarke training Skipper Michael Clarke is determined to play in Australia’s fourth Test against India despite a back injury and planned to train yesterday in a final bid to prove his fitness. Clarke batted down the order at No.6 in obvious pain and scored 18 on day five of the third Test in Mohali on Monday and has been unable to train so far this week. “The team is training this afternoon so I’ll head down with the team and try to do as much as I can,” Clarke told reporters on the eve of today’s dead-rubber clash in Delhi. “At this stage, there is still doubt of me pulling up fit enough to play tomorrow but I’ve been given every opportunity.” - AAP
Miami survive scare as streak mounts
LeBron James: saviour for the Heat

games of matching the NBA record of 33 consecutive wins held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. “We had to dig deep for this one,” James said. “We know every team is going to give us a good shot. We know they are going to be trying to take us down. We should enjoy that. We should embrace that. We have to be ready for that.” The game was the first for James at the home of his former club since he won a NBA title with the Miami team he joined after spurning the
Cavaliers - a true homecoming since he grew up and was a high school star in nearby Akron. “This is a gut performance for our team,” James said. “I’m happy my team-mates were able to come through for me tonight. This was a big one.” The start of the game was delayed for 45 minutes by a coolant leak on the main scoreboard, adding to the intense atmosphere surrounding the return of a hero now reviled by those same fans who once treasured his every move. - AFP

SUPER 15
www.guardianONLINE.co.nz
In elite company By Steve Hepburn
Chris King is about to bring up a century of games at Super Rugby level, and has no intention of stopping any time soon. King, the Mid Canterbury product who played 16 times for the Crusaders before heading south in 2005, will play his 100th game of Super rugby when he runs on to Waikato Stadium tonight as the Highlanders take on the Chiefs. The man they call Mule admits getting to the ton at this level is something to get the heart pumping. “I am excited. It is a thing that has played in the back of my mind for the past few weeks and getting there is a great achievement. “The wife [Emma] will probably come along, as it is not every day you get to play 100 games. “But you can’t think about it too much, you have got to get on with the job that you have in hand.” King, 31, made his debut in 2003 in the opening game of the season, coming off the bench for
the Crusaders in a win over the Hurricanes. After turning out 16 times for the Crusaders between 2003-2004, he shifted to the Highlanders in 2005 and has been a fixture in the squad ever since, and joins a small group of Super Rugby centurions alongside Anton Oliver (127 games) and Jimmy Cowan (108) who brought up the mark while with the southern franchise. King moved from the Crusaders with the likes of Greg Somerville and Greg Feek in front of him, only to arrive in the south to find Carl Hoeft and Carl Hayman blocking his way. “I go back to 2004 and those times when I was with the Crusaders I wondered if I would even get close to 50 games. “A lot of the guys have asked why I haven’t headed overseas to play, but I have always enjoyed it here and the family has always liked it. That is the main reason really. “I have been lucky enough to be involved in other teams, Otago, Southland and Taranaki.
“That has helped me stay here. “Moving to different provinces has kept me fresh and wanting to come back here.” As the way of modern rugby and rotation, King has spent plenty of time coming off the bench. Of his 100 games, 49 of them have been as a substitute. “The speed of the game has definitely changed. Everything is much more physical and more professional. “Just the amount of stuff you do on and off the field. The amount of homework you have to do. Guys in general are a lot bigger and faster. “At the moment the body is right and I’m still enjoying it. I don’t think age is a factor. It is a job for us. If you are not happy in your job you should not carry on. “But I’m happy in my job and I want to carry on.” As for looking back on favourite games King savoured victories over any Crusaders team and also the win over the Bulls in Pretoria in 2011, when Jamie Joseph had just come on board. “They were the defending cham-
• Guildford on bench Zac Guildford has been named on the bench for the Crusaders’ Super 15 clash against competition newcomers the Southern Kings tomorrow. The former All Blacks’ wing has played only part of a pre-season game for his Hawkes Bay club after withdrawing from the Crusaders in late January and attending a month-long alcohol rehab course. Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder has made four changes to the team who played the Bulls last weekend. In the starting side Willi Heinz takes the number 9 jersey while Luke Romano returns from injury moving Andy Ellis and Dominic Bird respectively to the bench. On the bench, Codie Taylor will have the opportunity to make his first appearance for the Crusaders. Dan Carter said yesterday he won’t be travelling to South Africa due to the impending birth of his first child. - HOL
pions and we played some good rugby against them. “They are a benchmark team in this competition, along with the Crusaders.’’ King can play both sides of the scrum, but is more of a tighthead these days. The Highlanders will be keen to mark the occasion of King’s century with a victory but it is going to be tough. The Highlanders are boosted by the return of Ma’a Nonu to the midfield as he has recovered from a knee injury, one of three changes, as they enter do or die territory after three losses to start the season. In a quirk of the draw it will be the second time the sides have met in a month, with the Chiefs winning the first game 41-27 in Dunedin on February 22.
Mid Canterbury front row product Chris King joins an exclusive club tonight, running out for his 100th Super Rugby match.
• Tahs sign up Skelton The NSW Waratahs have signed Sydney University and National Academy lock Will Skelton for the rest of the Super Rugby season. The towering 20-year-old first caught the attention of coach Michael Cheika several months ago when the Sydney-based academy side was invited for a hit-out against the Waratahs. At 203cm tall and 135kg, Skelton is one of the most imposing players in the Waratahs squad. - AAP

Consistency Cruden’s aim he is yet to kick for goal in a competition game. He knows there is plenty of improving to be done. With Highlander Colin Slade, Carter’s previous understudy before an unfortunate run of serious injuries, and Hurricane Beauden Barrett, waiting, there will be no room for slippage. The first sustained contact Cruden and his fellow All Blacks will have with the national coaches will be at the first of two training camps in Mt Maunganui on May 19. “I’m reasonably happy with it I suppose,” Cruden said of his form. “I think I can contribute more around the paddock and I suppose as a first-five you always want things to go smoothly, so when things get a bit loose you take it on your own shoulders to try to rectify that. “I’m no different, I always want things to go to script and follow the game plan. “I’m always striving to be
By Patrick McKendry
Aaron Cruden has homework to do for the All Blacks’ selectors. He received it while with the Chiefs in South Africa, and unlike several top Australian cricketers who were famously dropped from the national team recently for failing to do theirs, Cruden is putting a lot of thought into his, and insists it will be in on time. It isn’t taxing stuff - and all the current All Blacks will be given the assignment - it’s mostly how the players rate their early-season performances and how they plan to develop their games. For Cruden, Dan Carter’s back-up at first-five for the All Blacks, but with a few other players also having designs on the No10 jersey, it will be a case of improving his consistency and taking more of a leading role. The 24-year-old Cruden has begun solidly, albeit hindered by a groin injury which means
better personally and as a team we are collectively.” Cruden, who started in all of the Chiefs’ 18 matches last season and is perhaps even more important to the team’s hopes this year in the absence of Sonny Bill Williams, is one

’
of the form first-fives as the competition enters round six. His kicking variations in the close defeat by the Stormers in Cape Town reaped two tries, but a duffed grubber in front of his posts handed the opposition seven points. He said he was disappointed with that but insisted the ever-
changing nature of the Chiefs’ midfield wasn’t an issue. Andrew Horrell will tonight become the third second-five for the Chiefs this season when he takes the field against the Highlanders at Waikato Stadium - Bundee Aki and Charlie Ngatai were the others. “Having Sonny in the team last year, a big threat in the midfield, he provided a lot of go-forward. “With him not being there this year, and a couple of new guys in the midfield we’ve had to try to get that go-forward in different ways. “I think in patches we’ve done well there but in others we haven’t. “It’s a matter of finding that consistency. “Rugby is a pretty simple game when you can get that go-forward ball and that’s what we’re striving for.” Consistency is a big factor for Cruden, and it’s something he and the Chiefs maintained well last season as they swept
to their maiden title. Asked how the Chiefs managed it when other teams suffered more troughs than peaks, he said: “I think it really comes down to how much work you put in during the week. “The great thing about this team is that the boys are always striving to get better. “When hard truths come out, they don’t take it personally.” Chiefs team to play the Highlanders at Waikato Stadium, Hamilton, tonight at 7.35pm: Gareth Anscombe, Lelia Masaga, Tim Nanai-Williams, Andrew Horrell, Asaeli Tikoirotuma, Aaron Cruden, Tawera KerrBarlow, Nick Crosswell, Sam Cane, Liam Messam (c), Brodie Retallick, Michael Fitzgerald, Ben Tameifuna, Hika Elliot, Pauliasi Manu.

COLLEGE CREWS HAVE EYES ON MAADI MEDALS P17 | NO SHORTAGE OF STRIKERS IN ALL WHITES’ ARMOURY P21
New Zealand’s most significant test match took place 57 years ago at Eden Park. That 190-run win over the West Indies opened the door, the first victory after 26 years’ trying. But that was always to be a retrospective view. It was, after all, the first among equals. The national team was on the board, even though tough years followed. Twelve years later they had added only two more wins. There have been others loaded with special meaning. Australia at Christchurch in 1974; England at the Basin Reserve four years later; the West Indies in Dunedin in 1980, when no one gave New Zealand a prayer; Headingley in 1983, the first win in England, and that achieved without a solitary wicket from Richard Hadlee. For different reasons, the third test against England starting at Eden Park today is a huge contest for New Zealand. Consider the backdrop of the season of discontent, not to mention that the world No2 nation was expected to, at the least, be more dominant than they have been in the two drawn tests of the ANZ international series thus far. The importance of this test for captain Brendon McCullum, coach Mike Hesson, their team and New Zealand Cricket cannot be overstated. This season, wretched in so many respects, could end in a way which gives the players and fans reasons to be cheerful for the future. Since the millennium, only the 2002 threatened players’ strike exceeds the vitriolic spat over the dumping of Ross Taylor as captain while on the tour of Sri Lanka in November. The national body and team management took heavy hits for weeks over their handling of the leadership change. When the news came out, Hesson and, by extension, McCullum were the guys in the black hats.
Skipper Brendon McCullum Then followed a test series in South Africa where the world’s No1 team, at the peak of their powers, crushed the No8 team, shorn of four of its leading players, Taylor, Dan Vettori, Tim Southee and Jesse Ryder for a range of reasons, inflicting not just hefty defeats but a degree of embarrassment. As the players trooped from the pavilion steps to their bus at the end of the first day in Cape Town on which they’d been swept aside for 45, then bowled and fielded poorly, a spectator taunted each player: “What have YOU done today?” Dark days. From there, they won the ODI series and competed strongly in both limited-overs rubbers against England, taking both to a decider. The first two tests, both weather hit, produced competitive cricket. Now New Zealand have an opportunity, perhaps surprisingly, to end their summer of discontent in a most unexpected way. For Hesson, who will most likely never be forgiven by the Taylorites for his treatment of the country’s best batsman, a win at Eden Park would be a relief and maybe a hope that it would finally put to bed the rancour of December and January. McCullum - and for some the suspicion over his part in Taylor’s downfall hasn’t receded - acknowledged yesterday that this test has plenty riding on it. “Test cricket is something everyone wants to see you earn the right

over a long period to show you’re good enough,” he said. “For fans and purists they want to see our test game improving and equally we do. That’s why this series so far has been really good for us, but we know we’re going to be judged by how we finish this test as well.” If New Zealand win it will give “hope and satisfaction that we’re heading in the right direction”. “By no means are we the finished product. But we’ve taken some small steps forward, which is great. “It would be fantastic if we can put this result on it as well.” McCullum confirmed that spinner Bruce Martin will definitely play today in a three-one, seam and spin split. Returning seamer Doug Bracewell’s case was to be evaluated last night as he’d arrived too late for training yesterday. McCullum said it would be a tough call dropping one of the three incumbents who had performed gamely to date. With the pitch showing tinges of green, the skipper said bowling first remained his preferred option if he has the choice. The loss through a knee injury of Kevin Pietersen was a blow for England. “They’ve still got good options to come in but they’re certainly not KP.” England captain Alastair Cook hopes the wins enjoyed on Eden Park by the T20 and ODI sides will rub off. “It’s great when you come to a ground where you’ve won in the past,” he said. “It doesn’t count for anything, but it’s nice when you’ve got good vibes in that dressing room where we’ve seen victories before.” * * * NZ v England, Third test Eden Park, 10.30am today, live SS1 New Zealand: (from) Brendon McCullum (c), Peter Fulton, Hamish Rutherford, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Dean Brownlie, BJ Watling, Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Bruce Martin, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult.

Ashburton College croquet players Adam Greaney and Andrew Hawthorne will contest the National Secondary Schools Championships this weekend.
Confidence high in croquet camp By Jonathan Leask Ashburton College’s Adam Greaney and Andrew Hawthorne believe they could potentially take out the pairs at the National Secondary Schools Croquet Championships this weekend. Greaney and Hawthorne qualified by winning the Aorangi qualifier in November and after a few months of further practise they leave confident they can feature highly. The pair has come a long way since picking up the sport just
over a year ago, when their PE class played croquet as one of their activities. For the past few weeks the two of them have headed to the Waireka Croquet Club most lunch times to fine tune their skills. “Most lunch times we come over for a hit and I’d say we have been steadily improving,” Hawthorne said. “A lot of the people who started at the same time as us from College still come over and play so there is a bit of competition available as well.” Recently Greaney reaped the reward of the training, taking out

the South Canterbury Handicap Tournament at Geraldine, taking down many experienced players. Today they head to Palmerston North with two days of the national champs ahead of them, but the fast learners are confident in their abilities. “Top half of the draw will be the start and then getting near the top the goal, but first would be nice,” Greaney said. The nationals have 20 teams with the boys facing a busy schedule of 11 games across the two days, but they are undaunted and expecting a good result.
