Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy decided to create her own red carpet gowns after several high-profile designers refused to dress her for the Oscars. The actress, who was an Oscar nominee in 2011 for her role in the wedding comedy, admits she often struggled to find designers willing to dress her for Hollywood’s biggest night. “When I go shopping, most of the time I’m disappointed,” she told Redbook magazine. “Two Oscars ago, I couldn’t find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers – very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people – and they all said no.” The rejection prompted McCarthy, who studied a textiles course at Southern Illinois University, to create her own plus-size line of clothing with couturier Daniella Pearl.

Helmet cam records robbery The video from a South African cyclist’s helmet camera shows a gunman running forward and stealing the bicycle and other possessions with the help of two accomplices, apparently unaware that they were being filmed. Video footage helped police investigators track and arrest the three suspects, all of them 22 years old, who robbed the cyclist of his mountain bike and cellular telephone, police said yesterday. The suspects face a robbery charge and will remain in custody until a court hearing later this month, police said. The robbery occurred near the town of Somerset West, not far from Cape Town and South Africa’s winelands.

Today’s police officers would probably agree with the sentiments expressed in a Guardian court report of June 7, 1919, relating to four young men charged with “drunkenness on East Street”: Senior-Sergeant Ryan explained the quintette had assembled at a hut in the river-bed, and had taken a supply of liquor with them. Justice Watt: The present condition of affairs is highly undesirable and steps should be taken to have the huts removed if “keg parties” are going to make use of them. If the matter were brought under the notice of the (borough) councillors they would do their duty.

Parrot won’t have gone quietly A thief may have been grilled by the very item he stole after a talkative parrot – whose favourite phrases included “what you doing” – was stolen from a Whangarei home. Bella – a blue ring neck parrot – was stolen from its cage at a house on Tuesday night. It was the second pet parrot stolen from the address within about five weeks. Lauren Chisnall has kept the parrot for about a year and can’t understand why anyone would take the bird. Another parrot landed on her property during Cyclone Lusi and it later was stolen from a cage it was kept in. “I’ve heard cases of a few parrots being stolen some weeks ago and thought the one that came here could have been one of those. I kept it for four weeks then it went missing from its cage. “I thought someone took it. I didn’t really think much about it but when my parrot got stolen, I became suspicious,” she said. When she checked on Wednesday morning, the pegs had been removed but the cage was closed and the blanket still on.

Sailor’s girl in every port It would appear the saying “a girl in every port” is true for one young Australian naval officer who, while staying in Auckland, wrote love letters to women around the world. The officer – who is believed to be in his mid 20s – was about to set sail last Thursday when he ducked into waterfront cafe Barabra for a takeaway coffee. He was in a rush before boarding the ship and asked staff if they could do him a favour by mailing some postcards for him. When the cafe quietened down later in the day staff picked up the postcards from beside the coffee machine. The postcards, including one written to “Little Golden Retriever Baby”, were similar. “How are you?” he would ask, before describing Auckland as a small but busy city, “like a mini Sydney”. Each was signed off along the lines of: “I am thinking of you, I love you and miss you.”

■ TIMARU DISTRICT COURT

Third appearance over body find By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A 26-year-old Ashburton man was remanded in custody during an appearance in the Timaru District Court yesterday morning, on charges relating to an attempted robbery of an Ashburton man later found dead. The man was one of three people so far charged with assault with intent to rob A. J. Gairns on Saturday, and his court appearance came on the same day as members of the police armed offenders’ squad (AOS) were in town assisting police with their inquiries into Mr Gairns’ death. Mr Gairns’ body was found in a swampy industrial run-off area behind a West Street commercial premises on Sunday, and a police specialist search team was also in town yesterday assisting with a further search of the wider area near where the body was found. The man who appeared in

court yesterday was represented by duty solicitor Jae Lovely and was granted interim name suppression through until his next appearance on July 3. His arrest on Thursday followed the arrests of a 24-yearold Ashburton man and a 26-year-old Wellington woman earlier in the week. All three are charged with assaulting with intent to rob Mr Gairns. The 26-year-old woman was bailed to a Hawke’s Bay address but that arrangement fell through so she is also now remanded in custody. The Guardian understands police are still seeking one more person in relation to the attempted robbery. A post-mortem held on Tuesday indicated that Mr Gairns drowned and police are continuing to speak to persons of interest and investigate the events leading up to the body being found.

Police have been back at the scene of Sunday’s body find in Ashburton.

Police yesterday continued inquiries to locate and speak to persons of interest in relation to events prior to Mr Gairns’ death with the assistance of

members of the AOS. Mid/South Canterbury Police Detective Senior Sergeant Marion Neill said no further arrests were made in relation to the at-

tempted robbery yesterday. Pol ice believe the assault the trio have been charged in relation to, occurred prior to 4am on Saturday 31 May.

Home detention on perjury, perverting charges A high profile Ashburton businessman has been sentenced to 12 months’ home detention for perjury and perverting the course of justice. The representative charges against Paul Michael Brown related to offending against two complainants which occurred some six years ago. He was sentenced on his earlier guilty pleas, in the Timaru District Court yesterday. In September 2008 the complainants entered into a forward contract to buy 63 calves from Brown’s company, South Island Dairy Farmers (SIDF). The company had purchased the calves for $1150 per head.

In October a discussion took place, after which the complainants believed the contract had been cancelled by mutual agreement. There was no further communication regarding the calves until February (2009) when Brown contacted the complainants to organise delivery of the calves. Later that year SIDF commenced proceedings in the Ashburton District Court, on instruction from Brown. SIDF claimed to have sold the calves for $450 each, and sought to recover losses of $49,612. It was later discovered the sale of the calves was fictitious;

Brown had taken possession of the calves in May 2009, held them until March 2010, and sold them for $1450. Brown knew the assertions in the statement filed in the court were false, and intended to mislead. After repeated requests for further disclosure, Brown eventually produced an invoice dated May 19, 2009 to “Provincial Livestock” for the sale and purchase of the calves at $450 a head. This invoice was later proved to be false. The perjury charges related to affidavits sworn and filed in the Ashburton court in March

2010. These were also found to be false, and intended to mislead the court. Brown attempted to cover his tracks by claiming Provincial Livestock had verbally agreed to buy the calves, but later retracted and SIDF bought them back. A bank statement produced in evidence of the re-purchase was also fabricated. Judge Joanna Maze said there were two sets of victims; the complainants, and society. One of the complainants had lost his employment with SIDF, and suffered a heart attack as a result of the stress. Stress on the complainants was also blamed for the break

up of their de facto relationship. “These costs must also be taken into account,” Judge Maze said. She said Brown’s actions had compromised the integrity of the criminal justice system and the court. “It was this system with which you played,” she told him. Judge Maze acknowledged Brown had paid $12,500 reparations to each of the defendants, but said this was a condition of the home detention sentence indicated at an earlier hearing. She said given the serious nature of the offending any lesser sentence would be “manifestly inadequate”.

Mid Canty road toll stands at 6 BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ten people have died on Canterbury’s roads so far this year – six of them in Mid Canterbury. A triple fatality near Rakaia a week ago today doubled Mid Canterbury’s road toll for 2014 – taking it to six in less than six months - and meant that the district was overly represented in what police are calling an otherwise improved year on Canterbury’s roads. Canterbury’s acting road policing manager senior sergeant Phil Newton said any road death was a tragedy, but after a disappointingly high total of 50 people died on Canterbury’s roads in 2013, 10 deaths in less than six months of 2014 so far was a much improved start. “We’d had up to 18 or 19 by the same time last year,” he said. The number of people dying on New Zealand’s roads had steadily decreased over the years. “In 1973 we had 800-odd deaths. If we had kept going that way we would be hitting around 1800 now,” Mr Newton said. All it took to skew the statistics though was a split second – as shown in the Rakaia triple fatality. Christchurch’s Sally Summerfield, her daughter Ella and her daughter’s friend Abigail Hone, both 12, all died when the car they were travelling in on Thompsons Track was hit by a car driven by Dutch tourist Johannes Appelman on Somerton Road. Appelman failed to stop at a stop sign and is now facing charges. Two pedestrian deaths are also among Mid Canterbury’s six fatalities so far. “It’s down to the same things we keep talking about – speed, seatbelts and alcohol,” Mr Newton said. “The other problem in Canterbury is intersections, and the Thompsons Track crash is an indication of that. We have

long, straight roads with multiple intersections and not paying attention can prove fatal.” Mr Newton said it was impossible for police to predict crashes. All they could do was continue to hammer home the messages around the ‘fatal five’ – speed, drink/drug driving, seatbelts, driver behaviour and manner of driving. “The message is getting through and that’s why we have seen a reduction in the road toll over the last few years.” As of yesterday afternoon, according to the New Zealand Transport Agency, there had been 135 deaths on New Zea-

land’s roads so far this year, compared to 107 at the same time last year. In 2013, 254 people died on New Zealand’s roads.

** The March 6 crash on the Mt Hutt Access Road when Ashburton man Barry Whitcombe died is not part of the toll as it was a private road.

■ RAKAIA FATAL

1000 expected at funeral By Kurt Bayer Up to 1000 mourners, including school children, are expected to attend crash victim Abi Hone’s funeral at her old primary school on Monday. Abi, 12, was killed along with her best friend Ella Summerfield, also 12, and Ella’s mum Sally, 49, after a Dutch tourist allegedly ran a stop sign near Rakaia last Saturday.

Johannes Jacobus Appelman, 52, has been charged with careless driving causing death in relation to the incident. Mrs Summerfield’s husband Shane, who was driving, is recovering in Christchurch Hospital. He is awake and talking but overwhelmed with grief, a family friend said. Darren Wright, Hone family spokesman, said Abi’s funeral

would be held at the Sumner School hall at 2pm on Monday. Media have been asked to keep their distance. But a large turnout from the tight-knit seaside, and earthquake-battered community, is expected. The school hall has a 650-person capacity but a large marquee has been erected to cater for the overspill. At lunchtime on Monday, stu-

dents will be given the option of either staying on to continue their learning, go home, or attend the funeral. “It’s completely up to them,” Mr Wright said. “The family wants to get as much support as they can.” Both Abi and Ella attended the school, with both families being integral in fundraising to erect the school hall. - APNZ

Crash at Dromore corner

Pedestrian dies The pedestrian who was struck by a van on Moray Place, Dunedin, yesterday and later died in hospital was 92-year-old Majorie Joyce Pullar, known as Joyce. She was hit by a Toyota van about 11.25am and taken to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance, but later died. - APNZ

Missing man Police are concerned for the safety of a 27-year-old Taranaki man, who has been missing since Monday. Police are asking the public for help in their search for Aaron Roigard, from Opunake, who was last seen at about 1pm after he left a Waiteika Road address on foot, following a disagreement with a family member. He took a cellphone with him, but not his wallet or car keys. Police launched an investigation after being notified by family later that day. Detective Senior Sergeant Blair Burnett said search teams have been scouring many different areas with the assistance of a helicopter. - APNZ

The cost of a ticket to watch the All Blacks take on the English at Eden Park today is cheaper than it was 10 years ago. Eden Park’s grandstands have sold out, with temporary seating installed to accommodate 47,000 fans. Starting at $50 for the cheapest adult tickets and $20 for the cheapest child’s, getting through the gates is more affordable than it was to watch the same teams play a decade ago. In 2004, it cost $45 – $57.36 in today’s dollars – for an adult to see the All Blacks play England in Auckland. - APNZ

Ashburton police say it is miraculous no one was injured in a high-speed crash at the notorious Dromore corner on Thursday night. The remnants of the crash remained at the scene yesterday, where police say a car failed to give way at the Stanley Road and State Highway 1 intersection about 8pm. “Luckily no one was in injured in the crash, and it was reported the offending vehicle sustained extensive damage,” a spokesperson said. It comes during a horror week on Mid Canterbury roads, seeing all major crashes occurring at intersections including a triple fatality at the Thompsons Track and Somerton Road intersection near Rakaia last Saturday. Two people were also hospitalised following a crash at the Golf Links Road and SH1 intersection on Wednesday.

■ ASHBURTON BOROUGH SCHOOL

Ernie settles in to life at school By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

As principal Sam Winterbourn puts it, Ashburton Borough does not usually make a fuss over a new enrolment. But when this latest addition does extraordinary things for their fellow pupils and is actually a dog, then there’s cause to celebrate. In an unusual but innovative move, Ashburton Borough enrolled Ernie, an avalanche search dog, to become a fulltime enrolment in the Year 7 and 8 classroom yesterday. At 10 years of age he may be the school’s eldest new entrant, but he is having a big impact on pupils’ learning and morale in class. Teacher Courtney Wiedel took up his first teaching role at the school this year, but in his previous life worked in ski patrol as well on a Land Search and Rescue team with his dog Ernie. He decided to make a career change to teaching and after some extensive research into the ben-

efits of animals in the classroom, he put it to the board that it might be worth bringing Ernie into class – and they agreed. “The best aspect of having dogs in the classroom is that it helps reluctant readers ... there’s also research that has shown it can improve reading fluency by up to 30 per cent,” Mr Wiedel said. That was evident when Ernie visited the school’s Lagmhor site and transformed a dog loving sixyear-old reluctant reader into a book enthusiast last term. “Dogs don’t judge people, they don’t know how well you read when you read to them,” he said. Kitted out in a Borough uniform, Ernie has already fitted in well with his classmates and is always acknowledged when walking around the school site with Mr Wiedel. Meanwhile, the duo also can expect to be called out to Land SAR operations. Mr Winterbourn told pupils it was likely Ernie would be part of the Year 7 and 8 class for the next few years.

What do you think needs to happen to make sure we have cleaner air? We are reviewing Canterbury’s Air Plan and we want your feedback.

Environment Canterbury is responsible for managing the region’s air quality and our aim is clean, healthy air. Poor air quality has a signiﬁcant effect on our health, our well-being and how we feel about where we live. Canterbury has had an Air Plan since 2002 and it sets out the activities we have agreed can and cannot be done. Many people and businesses have played their part and the number of high pollution days across our cities and towns has dropped. But we still have more to do to meet the national health standards set by the Government. We have learnt a lot since the plan was put in place – what has worked and what is important to the community. We have also done research to better understand issues like rural burning.

■ STOCKTON JOB CUTS

140 jobs to go at Stockton Almost 140 jobs are to be axed at Solid Energy’s Stockton mine, the company announced yesterday. Continuing low international coal prices was to blame for the proposed job cuts, it said. Revealing the proposal to staff, Solid Energy said 137 jobs could go from the Stockton workforce of 521 - incorporating 35 management, technical, support and administration jobs and 102 mining jobs. A further 50 mining contractors’ jobs are also in line to be axed. Production at the West Coast export mine would be reduced by a quarter, from 1.9 million tonnes per annum, to 1.4 mil-

lion tonnes per annum, in the next financial year. The proposed changes were a necessary response to the depressed export market which was expected to remain for quite some time, Solid Energy chief executive Dan Clifford said. “On current pricing projections, we have to minimise our losses by reducing costs so that we can keep the mine operating. “We feel for the staff and their families, and for the wider Westport community, who will be affected by this, but by reducing activity we believe we can keep the operation viable with the continued benefits for

the community.” If the proposals are implemented, the company would also stop non-essential development work, mine from lower cost-to-produce pits to meet long-term export customer contracts and carry out most mining work during the day to reduce the impact of weather on the operation, he said. “While Solid Energy’s domestic business has been stabilised, the export business has continued to see falling prices from the 2011 highs of US$330/tonne,” Mr Clifford said. “Even more recently the price has continued to decline

with the quarterly benchmark price for hard coking coal falling from US$143/tonne for the January to March quarter, to US$120/tonne for the current quarter while the spot price has been sitting at about US$113/ tonne for the last two months. “While we are planning to continue with reduced production and reduced staffing levels for the next two to three years, we will still be able to meet our long-term customer contracts while retaining our options to respond to changes in the market.” A two-week consultation period will begin with with Stockton employees. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON AIR POLLUTION

Limits exceeded two nights By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton experienced its first two high pollution days of the year this week. The health guidelines for air pollution were exceeded on both Wednesday and Thursday according to Environment Canterbury. Thursday’s 24 hour average concentration of 74 micrograms of suspended particulate per cubic metre of air, while Wednesday’s was 58 micrograms of suspended particulate per cubic metre. By the same date last year just one day of high pollution had been recorded at the Ashburton recording site, but in years gone by up to nine had been recorded by this time of the year. Records show that Ashburton’s total is dropping. There was a total of just four in 2013, eight in 2012. In 2006 there were 28 high pollution days with the highest concentration of suspended particulate being 137.

Two high pollution nights have already been recorded in Ashburton so far far this winter

This week’s high pollution figures come in a week where Environment Canterbury (ECan) offered the Ashburton wood burning community a challenge – burn better with no smoke to help clean up the air in Ashburton. They have a target of reaching just three high pollution nights by 2006 in Ashburton, and getting that down to just

one by 2020. They’re consulting with the community to update their air pan, which identifies what can be done to reduce air pollution. The current plan has been in place since 2002. One of the issues the Ashburton community has raised is outdoor rubbish and stubble burning, ECan commissioner David Bedford said.

“The Air Plan review looks at air pollution not just from home heating, but also from industry, rural burning and nuisance such as dust and odour. It proposes ways all sectors of the community can help play their part,” he said. “We recognise that issues such as rural burning are important to the Ashburton community and we are asking the community to consider the proposed changes outlined in the Air Plan review discussion document and flyer and give us their feedback on how we should best address these issues across the region.” Copies of the flyer are being delivered to homes. Mr Bedford said wood burner users should also take steps to ensure they were not contributing to air pollution. “It is possible to operate your wood burner so that there is no visible smoke coming from the chimney,” he said. ECan has set up a Facebook page with tips for lighting and maintaining a hot-burning fire.

■ METHVEN FIRE

Family’s home goes up in smoke By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A Methven family’s home suffered substantial damage when it went up in smoke at lunchtime yesterday. Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Gary Blackwell said the home was fitted with working smoke alarms and members of the

family were home at the time. “They all got out and they did everything right and closed all the doors and windows and let us get at it,” Mr Blackwell said. It’s understood a family including two children lived at the Jackson Street house. A fire safety investigator was due on the scene this after-

noon to determine the cause of the fire and Mr Blackwell said there were a “couple of possibilities”. The home was a wooden weatherboard house and it had sustained substantial damage, Mr Blackwell said. “I’d say a third of the house is pretty much fire damaged and probably the rest of it has got

some smoke damage,” he said. “They will be able to salvage quite a lot I’d say, but they will just have to get it drycleaned.” Firefighters were this afternoon putting iron back on the home’s roof to ensure it was weather-tight against the rain. It was not livable for now and the family was being looked after by friends and neighbours.

In brief Musical delights Age Concern will host an afternoon of musical delights on Sunday with a fundraising event showcasing a range of Mid Canterbury talent. It was open to the public to attend. Entry cost $10. Concert co-organiser Iris Officer-Holmes said a variety of performers were scheduled including a piper, a violinist, dancers and singers. Those on the billing included Ashburton College Phoenix Choir, Briana Sloper, Karen Hall, Liam Kennedy-Clark, Heather Glass, Hamish Sloper, Lucy Moore and Charlotte Sloper. Mrs OfficerHolmes said entry included a cup of tea at the end of the concert. The concert will be held in the Seniors Centre, 206 Cameron Street. It starts at 2pm.

Found guilty Two Tongan police officers have been found guilty of the manslaughter of New Zealand policeman Kali Fungavaka. Inspector Kelepi Hala’ufia and Constable Salesi Maile were remanded in custody until sentencing next month, a Tonga Supreme Court registrar said. Mr Fungavaka, an officer from Counties Manukau, died on August 23, 2012 after being beaten while in police custody days earlier. The 38-year-old had been in Tonga for his grandfather’s funeral. - APNZ

Baby in car footwell Police are warning parents to buckle in children after a toddler was discovered asleep in the footwell of a car and two siblings unrestrained on the back seat when the driver was pulled over. A Hamilton Police dog handler stopped the woman motorist on Wairere Drive in the north of the city for “concerning” driving at midnight on Wednesday. The sleeping girl in the footwell of the front passenger seat was two and the two children in the rear seat were four and five. - APNZ

Tourist nabbed An American teenage tourist caught drunk at the wheel by a courier driver has lost her licence for 28 days. Police Senior Sergeant Chris McLellan said members of the public called police to report a heavily intoxicated 19-yearold woman driving a motor vehicle in Kerikeri. The woman reportedly hit another car at the Kerikeri roundabout before she was stopped by Kaeo courier driver Vince Melrose, assisted by a Kerikeri resident on May 22. A breath test revealed an alcohol level of 1122mcg of alcohol per litre of breath, Mr McLellan said. - APNZ

Toddler burned A 14-month-old learning to walk burnt herself after falling against a woodburner at her home in Coromandel on Thursday. “She was learning to walk and stumbled and fell against the fireplace. She then pushed against it with her hands and face and suffered burns,” Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust paramedic Russell Clarke said. The toddler was flown by rescue helicopter to Starship Hospital in a moderate condition. - APNZ

■ MT HUTT SKIFIELD

■ JOHN BANKS

By Erin TaskEr

Banks has options, Key says

Weather delays opening erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Management at Mt Hutt Ski Area hope to open the mountain for the 2014 ski season later this week. Originally scheduled to open today, the decision to postpone the opening day was made on Wednesday due to warm temperatures keeping the snow away, and bad weather in the forecast. Rain forecast to arrive on the mountain yesterday did eventuate and with the bulk of the ski area’s snow base currently

man-made and more susceptible to rain than natural snow, the decision to postpone was disappointing, but one which had to be made. Southern ski fields will now become the first to open for the season today, and Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie said he hoped the Mid Canterbury ski area would join them in a few days. Mr McKenzie said “grizzly” weather forecast from today through to Monday meant the ski area was unlikely to open over the next couple of days.

But that bad weather did bring with it some positives. “Hopefully it will mean we get some snow.” He said staff were ready to roll, but wanted to have something they were proud of when they opened; a decent dump of snow over the next couple of days would provide that. Mr McKenzie said Mt Hutt had received encouraging early snowfalls in April and May and cold weather over the past couple of weeks had allowed for an unprecedented 110 hours of continuous snowmaking. So

having to postpone the opening when all systems, lifts and staff were ready to had been a disappointing call, but the right one. “We’re looking forward to having guests come up here and enjoy opening day so we’re putting everything on hold until this next snowstorm has passed through and the weather improves.” Mr McKenzie said everything was “poised and ready to go” on the mountain. “We’ll be open the very first day we can.”

Opening day 2013 at Mt Hutt was a full-on affair with skiers turning out in their hundreds to get their first taste of snow for the season.

ACC urges skiers to take care on slopes By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

ACC is urging skiers and snowboarders to take care this season after around 13,000 injury claims were lodged following accidents on the slopes in 2013. The first ski areas will open for the 2014 season today and although Mt Hutt was due to be one of them, warm temperatures and bad weather combined to force the opening day to be postponed. It will now open at the first possible opportunity and when it does, ACC is hoping that skiers and snowboarders remember that it’s a demanding activity on challenging terrain and safety guidelines must be followed. ACC’s Programme Manager - Sport, Kirsten Malpas said New Zealand was blessed with easy access to prime skifields, making it a paradise for those who enjoyed the thrill and

challenge of getting out on the slopes. “Fortunately, the majority of claims from skiers and snowboarders last season were for minor injuries such as bruising, sprains and strains, but there were also more serious injuries such as fractures, dislocations and head injuries.” In 2013, ACC paid out $18.5 million for injuries that resulted from skiing or snowboarding. ACC recommends people work on their fitness before the season starts and warming up before hitting the slopes. They also recommend getting lessons and learning important techniques on how to fall safely, and to make sure you follow the Snow Responsibility Code endorsed by the New Zealand Snow Sports Council. Most snow sports injuries – around 70 per cent – are caused by loss of control resulting in

By adam BEnnETT Amid calls for John Banks to resign from Parliament after being found guilty of electoral fraud, Prime Minister John Key says the Act MP who he continues to back as “an honest man” still has “options”. Despite being found guilty of knowingly filing a false campaign finance return during his 2010 Auckland mayoralty campaign, Mr Banks has the option of remaining an MP at least until August 1 when the High Court will deal with the issue of a conviction which would see him ejected from Parliament automatically. However, the guilty verdict on Thursday has fuelled opposition calls for his resignation, with Opposition Leader David Cunliffe yesterday saying he remained in Parliament only “on a technicality” and he should go. “The National Government has no credibility while it continues to be propped up by an MP found guilty of knowingly filing a false electoral return”, he said. “This goes to the very heart of the public’s faith in our electoral system.” But Mr Key told reporters this morning that Mr Banks’ immediate political future was not something he could comment on. “Ultimately that’s a question you have to direct at Mr Banks. He’s got a number of options available to him and I’m sure he’ll be considering all of those. That will be everything from whether he intends to appeal the decision by the High Court yesterday or ultimately whether he intends to seek a discharge without conviction.” Asked what his advice to Mr Banks would be, again he said it was “not for me to offer a view on that”. “I mean in the end he is the leader of another political party and I know people get sort of confused on all of this process but the reality is I can’t offer him advice any more than I could offer David Cunliffe advice on whether he should resign.” Mr Banks relinquished his leadership of Act to Jamie Whyte earlier this year. While Mr Key said it was “not for me to critique” Justice Edwin Wylie’s decision finding Mr Banks guilty of electoral fraud, he said in all the dealings he had with him, “he’s been an honest straightforward guy who’s dedicated his life to try and make a difference to others”. - APNZ

In brief Ohakune quake A sharp earthquake rocked the lower North Island yesterday. An initial report from GeoNet said the magnitude 5.1 quake struck 20km south west of Ohakune at 3.46pm. It was 117km deep, GeoNet said. The tremor was felt at least as far as Wellington. No damage has yet been reported to the fire service, a central fire communications spokeswoman said. GeoNet has now revised the depth of the quake, putting it at 76km deep. The tremor was widely felt with people from Auckland to Waverley reporting feeling it. - APNZ

Bail denied A transgender Wellington woman who is accused of stabbing a man she claims was stalking her was denied bail when she appeared in court yesterday. Jade Follett, 21, who identifies herself as female, is charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 14 years’ jail. Duty solicitor Philippa Sullivan argued that the accused was “particularly vulnerable” on remand at Rimutaka Prison, and requested bail to her aunt’s home. In the Wellington District Court yesterday, Judge Peter Hobbs denied the request, and remanded her in custody until her next appearance. - APNZ

Preschoolers from Aubrey Mason Kindergarten have got behind the Red Puppy Bikkie Day fundraiser. The fundraising event called for volunteer home bakers to help raise money for guide dog puppies. All week the children have been preparing and selling a stack of dog-shaped biscuits to friends and family of kindergarten pupils. Head teacher Donna Frame said the children got involved to support Blind Foundation guide dogs and have a better understanding of the world around them. “The children develop an understanding of community organi-

sations and people that help us. It helps the children learn about diversity and inclusion,” she said. “They are connecting links with the wider world and developing knowledge about roles in the world of work and people who help us.” As the base for their recipe the children have used a tried and tested recipe of celebrity chef Nadia Lim before they added their own special bling with coloured balls and chocolate chips. The kindergarten have prebagged three pack of biscuits for sale for $2.50. The official Red Puppy Bikkie Day is Monday.

Telecommunications company Vodafone has revealed the extent of international government spy agencies listening into conversations on its networks, including the number of warrants issued in New Zealand. The mobile phone company says the secret wires allow government agencies to listen to conversations and are being widely used in 29 countries around the world, according to The Guardian newspaper. There were 34 warrants for interception of phones in New Zealand in 2013, it said. However, because governments count warrants in different ways, New Zealand’s warrants figure does not include those concerning national security. A single warrant could target hundreds of individuals and devices, however several warrants could be targeted at just one person. - APNZ

■ CANCER SOCIETY FUNDRAISER

Movie-goers’ support rewarded Mid Canterbury Cancer Society health promoter Mandy Casey hands out daffodil/tulip bulbs to moviegoers Alice Czerski (left) and Shirin Khosravini this week at a Cancer Society fundraiser. More than 50 people turned up to support the society at their movie screening of The Fault In Our Stars, a tear-jerking drama romance about two teenagers who met at a cancer support group. Mrs Casey said each movie-goer got a selection of the flower bulbs in thanks for their support. The Cancer Society used the daffodil as it was a “symbol of hope”. Mrs Casey wanted to thank everybody who had supported the event. Their efforts had raised $460 dollars. The money was destined for petrol vouchers to support people who needed to travel to Christchurch Public Hospital for radiation treatment. Those people travelled five days a week for up to six weeks during their treatment. The treatment was not available at Ashburton Hospital.

Violent people are ma B

reaking the cycle of family violence starts early. No-one knows that better than Jim Sole. He’s seen it all in his 26 years of policing. For the former Ashburton police sergeant, stamping out family violence is a passion and he’s dedicated his working life to bring rates down and keep families safe. To do that, he’s going right back to the beginning and using research that shows that criminals aren’t born, they’re made. That research delves into the human brain and shows that what children see and hear when they’re as young as two, shapes the person they become in the future. If they see dad beating mum up, even as a preschooler, it’s a behaviour that will remain with them forever. For the past seven years Mr Sole – a sergeant with the New Zealand Police – has seen the ghastly results from some of the worst incidents of family violence, while working as a supervisor for the police Family Safety Team in Christchurch. He knows that family violence is not limited to a certain socio-economic group, or ethnicity. Family violence affects people from every corner of society and it’s something that’s learned early. For the next 14 months Mr Sole will be delving into the murky depths of family violence in Mid Canterbury. He has been seconded to the Ashburton Police Station to look at the district’s response to family violence and the relationship between police and agencies that deal with family violence and its victims.

Sergeant Jim Sole will spend the next 14 months delving into the murky depths of family violence in Mid Canterbury. Erin Tasker reports. “Certainly there’s a committed group of individuals and agencies that are keen to ... make a difference to families in Mid Canterbury and address the issues, which is really cool,” he said. “The thing that’s clear is that no one agency can address the issue because it’s complex and the fact that you’re dealing with offenders, victims and families means it’s a big area of responsibility. Family violence was often a cycle and one that needed to be broken, but that wasn’t always easy for the victims. “We know with family violence there are significant levels of revictimisation and it’s significantly under-reported, so it’s about ensuring that interventions that are put in place are going to prevent further offences and de-escalate if there is a risk to the parties “It’s about long-term prevention strategies. We know from the science that our children and babies that are exposed to family violence, that exposure to family violence has an impact on how their brains are effectively wired up. “So it’s about ensuring parents have the access to the resources they need and the skills to minimise any harm from that behaviour or relationship. Criminals were not born, he said. “We know our jails are full of criminals that are made, they are not born. So the key message there

is if we look after our children we prevent the next generation of criminals from coming along. “If we know our criminals are being made aren’t we far better putting our resources in to supporting parents, or parents at risk? A child that’s healthy, loved and cared for will not grow up to commit these crimes.” Mr Sole first took over the family violence portofolio while working as a sergeant in Ashburton in 2000. He’d been in the job long enough already to see an intergenerational dynamic shining through and there was a common theme of long-time abuse with most offenders he dealt with – whether it be physical, sexual or psychological. That early abuse had shaped how they viewed the world. “The worry is that the neuroscience is saying that we previously dramatically undervalued

the first three years of life in that we did not see them as significant. “What we know now is the brain has twice as many connections at the age of two than it does as an adult,” Mr Sole said. That means that even at two, children are soaking up everything around them and what they see and hear is shaping their future. If infants are constantly exposed to trauma, they will be hard-wired for life. It’s not a problem that could be solved overnight or with one conversation though. “If that was the case we would have stopped having speeding and drink driving campaigns years ago,” Mr Sole said. “It takes a long time for people to change the attitudes that are underpinning that behaviour.” Mr Sole has worked in Christchurch since leaving Ashburton in 2007 and taking up a role with the police’s Family Safety Team – a job which has seen

him working hard to identify those at highest risk of death from family violence, and doing what he can to prevent that. It’s not easy and the job was made even harder by the city’s earthquakes. Mr Sole himself was not working the day of the deadly quake. He was at his Mid Canterbury home, but within a couple of hours was on his way to Christchurch to assist in the city he grew up in; a city he barely recognised when he got there. For the first week, family violence took a back seat. “But then we realised we were seeing women taking violent partners back in because they were so frightened themselves. If he turned up with food, clothing, water or whatever, it was very hard for them to say no because everyone was in a state of shock,” Mr Sole said. Police looked at research from other natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, the Victorian bushfires in

ade, not born – Sgt Sole Australia and the flooding event in Brisbane and knew that family violence was bound to increase. It did and it’s slowly been increasing since. They’ve seen violence in families escalate as they found themselves living in cramped conditions together, as so many families had to move from their homes. The city became a melting pot of dynamics. “And everyone’s anxiety was ramped up, so your ability to cope with and deal with stress was severely compromised,” he said. “The big thing in Christchurch at the moment is low-cost housing. That puts pressure on people wanting to leave violent relationships, because they have nowhere to go. “We get the classic ‘why doesn’t she leave’, but it’s not always that easy.” The amount of family violence reported to police is increasing, but that increase can be taken two ways, Mr Sole said. It could be that family violence is increasing, but statistics show that only 8-20 per cent of all family violence is reported. “It’s a challenge. Is that a bad thing or WHAT YOU CAN DO a good thing? The one thing I have learnt is it’s Family violence is not ok. It is a never crime. Statistics show that almost half of all homicides in New Zealand are related to family violence. But people in violent situations often cannot help themselves. They need your help. In an emergency dial 111 and ask for the police. If you are a victim of family violence, seek help as soon as possible as you have the right to be safe and if you’re a friend of a victim, you can help by listening and being supportive. Make sure the person knows you’re there for them and that they know there is help available in the community. Family violence can be physical, sexual or psychological. Nobody has the right to assault another person, nobody is allowed to have sexual contact with another person without permission and nobody has the right to use intimidation, threats or mind games to gain power over another person.

simple; it’s always complex and in layers. There’s never a nice, easy answer because every family has its own dynamics,” Mr Sole said. It’s too early in his secondment to Mid Canterbury to say what rates of family violence had done here in recent years, but one thing is clear to Mr Sole; the Mid Canterbury population

has grown, and changed dramatically, since he left the Ashburton station seven years ago. He said Ashburton was a prosperous town, and always had been, but it had the same problems as any other town. Family violence was one of them and people were beginning to understand that it could happen to anyone. “An increase in reporting could be two things – it could be something that we should celebrate because people are feeling

more confident to bring it up and the public are more aware, or it could be that there is actually an increase in family violence,” he said. “There is greater awareness and I think that people are becoming more comfortable in acknowledging that this isn’t a lower socio-economic issue or an ethnicity issue. “This is prevalent across all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds.” The most at risk were often the least likely to come forward and engage with agencies there to help. “It’s rewarding when it all comes together and incredibly depressing when you’ve done a lot of work and you have to go and see a woman in the emergency department at the hospital again.”

may be a conflict of interest tomorrow”. The email was forwarded to all councillors. The only response came from Alasdair Urquhart requesting a meeting with Mr Dalziel. Legal advice was sought and this indicated there was a possible conflict of interest. His exclusion from debate and the loss of vote on November 28 also saw that motion loss, but Mr Urquhart found out “some time later” the advice was based on “false information” and claimed there was a plot against him. At the meeting this week, Mr McLeod said he didn’t intend to speak publicly about recent events, but “the effects on my family, friends and colleagues of uninformed, incorrect and malicious material in both verbal and written form means I am no longer prepared to stay silent”.

Ashburton district councillor Don McLeod has hit out against claims he conspired to prevent a fellow councillor from voting at a pivotal second bridge meeting last year. During extraordinary business at a council finance and business support committee meeting on Thursday, Mr McLeod wanted to set the record straight and criticised two local newspapers after coming under fire over an email he sent questioning a conflict of interest last November when a motion was presented to revoke the bridge route. The email - sent to Mr McKay and chief executive Andrew Dalziel by councillor McLeod, with Alan Totty and Darryl Nelson also copied in – was read out at an extraordinary meeting on May 22. It began: “three people have raised the issue there

there was speculation at least three councillors may have a conflict of interest, so he wrote to the Mayor and CEO prior to the meeting. “I made no accusations – indeed, I did not know at that time whether the speculation was valid or not,” he said. Mr McLeod said it was up to councillors to decide if they had a conflict and “the accusation of a conspiracy casts a slur on others which is unfair, untrue and without foundation”. He was angered by a story in the Mid Canterbury Herald last week which he claimed misquoted him and “evaded the actual issue altogether”. The newspaper has since run a correction. The Guardian was criticised for letters that ran from readers he said did not know the facts, “but air their views anyway”. Mr Urquhart did not want to comment.

Police have revealed the first 12 sites earmarked for the first new fixed speed cameras. Six locations in Auckland and six in Wellington will receive the new digital cameras first, with a total of 56 cameras to be installed by the end of next year at a cost of $10 million. Assistant Commissioner of road policing Dave Cliff said current fixed camera network was almost 20 years old and used outdated wet film technology. The 12 sites announced today were a mix of existing and new locations. “We have consulted with people in those communities directly affected by placement of the cameras, who were all resoundingly supportive of having them in their neighbourhoods to improve road safety,” Mr Cliff said. NZ Transport Agency road safety director Ernst Zollner said effective speed management was an essential part of creating a safer transport sys-

tem because speed directly affected both crash probability and crash severity. In some high-risk situations where other road safety measures could not be applied, speed cameras would be the most effective crash deterrent, he said. The first new camera will be installed for testing at Ngauranga Gorge in Wellington next week and will go live next month. Police will use mobile cameras and other enforcement while the camera is being tested. “While the camera already in use at Ngauranga Gorge is of a newer generation, there have been yet further advances in technology since it was installed last year that we wish to take advantage of,” Mr Cliff said. “It also makes sense that we start the camera upgrade process with the same ‘second generation’ technology that will ultimately be rolled out across the rest of the country.” - APNZ

■ RHEUMATIC FEVER CAMPAIGN

That sore throat could be serious By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburtonians tuned in to delayed coverage of international rugby tonight will be hit with a health message pushing Rheumatic Fever Awareness. The national television campaign was due to start this weekend during the delayed coverage of the All Black vs England rugby game on Prime TV. The campaign highlighted the impact rheumatic fever has on the lives of children and their families. Ashburton had no recent cases of rheumatic fever. However, the Canterbury District

Health Board reported three cases of rheumatic fever between January and March this year. Health minister Tony Ryall said the television advertisements were based on the real life experience of a family with 11-year-old twins. “One of the twins, Justin, avoided rheumatic fever when his strep throat was detected by swabbing and he completed a course of antibiotics. “However his brother, Tristan, has had open heart surgery as a result of getting rheumatic fever,” Mr Ryall said. Radio advertisements in English, Samoan, te reo Maori and Tongan had also

been developed. “This awareness campaign highlights how beneficial it is to get sore throat checks,” Mr Ryall said. The Government had invested more than $65m over six years to combat the preventable illness – that included the awareness campaign. “The increasing profile of rheumatic fever is raising awareness with families and health professionals, and as a result more cases of rheumatic fever are being identified and treated. The Government planned to more than halve the incidence of rheumatic fever by June 2017.

RHEUMATIC FEVER ■

■ ■ ■

Rheumatic fever is an auto-immune disease. It mainly affects Maori and Pacific children and young people, aged four and above. It starts with a sore throat, known as strep throat. Untreated with antibiotics, strep throat can cause rheumatic fever. The fever makes the heart, joints (elbows and knees), brain and skin swollen and painful. Rheumatic fever happens when the immune system attacks the heart instead of illness germs. It can be life threatening.

Royal visit costs taxpayer $1 million By PaTrice Dougan The visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George in April cost the taxpayer more than $1 million. Prince William and Catherine spent 10 days touring New Zealand, in a visit which saw baby Prince George’s first official function outside the UK. The Department of Internal Affairs spent $1,035,000 on the royal visit. Most of the $1 million budget went on personnel cost for the royals, with $425,000 spent on staff. This was followed by accommodation, meals and other travel related costs at $132,000, vehicle hire at $108,000 and international travel at $102,000. Security and general operating costs came in at $98,000, with Government hospitality ($89,000) and domestic air travel ($81,000) making up the cheaper items on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s visit the bill. The provisional figures were in April cost the taxpayer more than $1 million. ap photo released by the DIA yesterday,

A changing of t Today, Coen Lammers’ laptop will not beep with emails meant for the Guardian’s editor and – with a bit of luck – his cellphone won’t ring with queries about last week’s papers. But, as new editor Stu Oldham found out, he might find it hard going cold-turkey from Mid Canterbury news.

oen Lammers’ face lights up like a child’s on Christmas morning. For a moment, the Guardian’s editor is the kid that got the new pushbike. Chief reporter Erin Tasker had just read through the day’s story list and, for the news-hungry Coen, it’s as good as he’d hoped. “Wahay, we’re just firing – there’s so much going on today,” the affable Dutch-Kiwi says, roughly shaking his replacement by the shoulder. “Wish we had some more pages – it’s going to be a cracking paper tomorrow.” It just happens that this happened this week. Frankly, the burst of infectious enthusiasm for a craft he loves could have happened on just about any other day of the past 30 years. That’s how long Coen, 47, has been in newspapers – in a print career whose chapter at the Guardian ended yesterday. His first story, about the 10,000th visitor to his local swimming pool, kick-started a career that has taken him all over the world. One of his first real writing gigs was for a heavy metal magazine in Holland, when he was still a journalism student. Incongruously, Coen’s first big break came when his class went to Russia and he wrote a piece about the national football team. Soon, he was a football writer in Holland. “So there I was – I wasn’t good enough to play for Holland but I landed a job where I could report on Holland. It was an absolute dream.” That dream was interrupted – sort of – when he was conscripted into the Dutch army to be part of his country’s contribution to the UN observer force in Sinai. Lieutenant Lammers wrote for the Dutch military magazine before an OE that led him to New Zealand, where he met his wife Suzy. Stints at The Press and The Australian followed, before Coen was editor of the feisty but short-lived Christchurch newspaper The Citizen. He was editor of the Ashburton Guardian in 2002 before moving back to The Press to be sports editor and then the paper’s deputy editor. Coen left the challenge of leading the newspaper in post-quake Christchurch for the fresh challenge of redeveloping the Guardian. His small team successfully moved the redesigned Guardian from broadsheet to

tabloid, and started the first payfor website of any daily newspaper in New Zealand. Building both from scratch, and watching them do well, has been among the most fulfilling experiences of his time in journalism. “The smallest newspaper I’ve worked on has given me some of the biggest buzzes. We’ve always been a small team so most of what we do, we do on our own. “You get a huge amount of

“

satisfaction when the community you’re working for says you’re doing a good job – and I’m not sure I’d get the same feeling somewhere else.” Coen lives on the adrenaline rush of a good story and the Guardian has delivered in spades. When Sina Solomona’s killer pleaded guilty last year, he was proud of how his team turned the unexpected plea into six pages of competitionbeating coverage. But for Coen, such coverage is only worth doing if it will meet readers’ expectations. The editor of the Guardian always knows where his duty lies. “There is a huge sense of ownership for the newspaper in our community. People know it’s their paper and it’s great that people call to demand an audience with the editor when they want to have their say. I don’t know that you get that sort of thing anywhere else. The fact that you do here, has to be a good thing.” Coen is moving into a new career in public relations in Christchurch but first, he will be the Guardian’s columnist at the Fifa World Cup in Brazil. When the dust settles, he’ll find ways to wean himself off the Guardian website. “I’ll miss the people the most, no doubt. It’s amazing the commitment our staff has to the community – that sense of responsibility, that’s what the paper is all about. “And I hope that’s something the community sees in the paper, too.”

he first week in Ashburton has been a busy one for Stu Oldham. The Coaster moved up from Dunedin last weekend from his previous role as the editor of seven community papers in the Allied Press stable. Working alongside the outgoing editor, the week has been occupied with getting to know the town, the staff, some key contacts and the inner workings of the Ashburton Guardian. “I’ve been really impressed with the staff ’s professionalism, their energy and enthusiasm for the newspaper and its place in the community,” Stu said of his first impressions. “And most importantly they have all made me feel very welcome.” His first week has been marred by the triple fatality at Rakaia and the unexplained death of A. J. Gairns, which has made him wonder what other bad luck he would bring the district. “During the week though I have been surprised how much discussion and concern there was in the newsroom around how to be sensitive to the families. “This week I have heard more talk around this than I have in all my years at my previous job which shows how connected the journalists are to their community.”

“

From the outside looking in it (Mid Canterbury) seems a forwardlooking, positive district

Stu Oldham has a long track record with newspapers around the South Island. Starting as soccer contributor for the Westport News during high school years, Stu always wanted to be a journalist. A career adviser at school, however, side-tracked him into a university honours degree in history before he fell into a job at the Canterbury Museum. After three years as a curatorial assistant though, he had an

New Guardian editor Stu Oldham couldn’t wait to get started at the Guardian. After a week of handover duties, the man from Westport will take the reins on Monday. He speaks to his predecessor Coen Lammers about his past and his hopes for the future. “epiphany”. “I realised I still wanted to be a journalist, so I rang the Aoraki journalism course in Timaru to see if they had a spot, quit my job and started the course three days later.” After his first job at The Press, interrupted by some overseas travel, Stu has had stints at the Southland Times, the Otago Daily Times and the Nelson Mail before ending up back at the ODT where he has been in charge of seven community newspapers that stretch from Darfield to Bluff. In between, this welltravelled journalist also ran the journalism course at the Southern Institute of Technology and set up the Aoraki course in Dunedin. He said he seemed content in his role at the ODT, but after some prompting by his partner and former Guardian reporter Niya Strachan, realised Ashburton offered a unique opportunity. “From the outside looking in it seems a forwardlooking, positive district,” Stu said. “The new-look paper looks really good and has an edge and a punchiness that many other papers in New Zealand are lacking. “Reading the Guardian you really feel you are not missing out on anything happening in the district. So who wouldn’t want to be part of that?” After bouncing around the South Island over the past 14 years, Stu is ready to grow some roots in Ashburton. The family has purchased a property in Allenton and daughter Amelia will be starting at Allenton School when she turns five later this month. “Coming from a small town like Westport I hope to give my daughter the same kind of upbringing I enjoyed on the Coast,” Stu said of his move to Ashburton. Stu finally pointed out that it is ironic he finally made it to the Guardian after the current editor tried to hire him on two occasions over the past decade. “He’s the best editor I have never worked for,” laughed Stu, “so it is quite fitting to take over from him.”

In brief Change in attitude As a former player, pundit and keen observer of England’s rugby fortunes, Jamie Salmon has relished the team’s changing attitude and style. That progress has been about expanding the side’s ambition, range of tactics and ideas. They were embracing the concept of total rugby with interaction from all 15 players. “To me that has been the noticeable improvement,” the dual All Black and England centre of the 80s said. “England will always produce a decent forward pack. But if you want to challenge at the very top level all the time, you have to develop your backline and the ability to score tries.” - NZH

Punishment ‘needed’ The Wallabies’ highest-profile casualty from their Dublin drinking capers, Adam Ashley-Cooper, admits Ewen McKenzie’s hard-line punishment needed to happen. Now stunned to be appointed vice-captain to play France, Ashley-Cooper was among six players stood down in November after a night of boozing in the Irish capital four days before a Test. At the time, the popular utility back was ropeable, but Ashley-Cooper now looks back at the episode and the controversial one-match suspension as a necessary shakeup of team standards that has improved Wallaby culture. “It was certainly something that was a learning experience at the time, and something that really needed to happen,” he said. - AAP

South Africa-born Diack, 28, fills in for the injured Peter O’Mahony with fellow back-rower Jordi Murphy also poised to make his first Test start.

Ulster’s Cave will take the number 13 shirt that belonged for so long to now-retired talisman Brian O’Driscoll. - AFP

Shield brings a new buzz By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

In just over a month Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury will have their 13th attempt at lifting the New Zealand rugby’s oldest and most prestigious prize. Defending Meads Cup champions, Mid Canterbury, will challenge Counties Manukau for the Ranfurly Shield in Pukekohe on July 9 the, the Hammers first challenge in 11 years. Mid Canterbury Heartland coach Glenn Moore has been working with an extended squad for a while now in preparation for the challenge. “It’s coming together quite well as we have had a large group working together for about six weeks now,” Moore said. Moore has already noticed there is a buzz in the camp with bigger turnouts to trainings than this stage last year as the players are eager to push their claims, as well as the level of anticipation and excitement from the public. There some confidence brewing in the community that this team could potentially lift the shield for the first time in the union’s 87-year history against the Steelers - who will be deprived of their top talent. “Rest assured, even though some of the Counties players are out, they have a wider squad that they will have been

working with and have an enormous talent pool to work with so they will have depth. “We are certainly preparing to go and try to win the game. “You have to go there well prepared, professional and give it the best crack on the day.” Boosting that confidence is the availability of some key contributors from the Hammers’ Meads Cup win. “Anyone who played last year is eligible to play in the challenge which is good, but the other positive thing is the injection of new talent into the local clubs, some of whom had a run against the Japanese team.” Moore has already confirmed the services of influential firstfive Murray Williams while Southbridge’s flying Fijians Peni Manumanuniwila and Willie McGoon turned out against the Japanese touring side and are in line to play. Another player set to return is Heartland XV representative Dwayne Burrows, who shifted south to Dunedin to push for the Otago squad. “We are working with him and his club and there is a strong possibility he could be involved.” In terms of the new additions from last year Moore noted former Tasman Makos Gary Redmond and Brenton Connell as

No excuses, says All Blacks skipper

Farrell on a high If some of the rhetoric from backs coach Andy Farrell seeps into the England psyche and they play with his authority, then tonight’s test will pack some wallop. Farrell was in bullish voice on the eve of the opening test at Eden Park, speaking with the confidence of a man who played at the highest level in league and rugby for England. Since his extensive playing days petered out five years ago, the 39-year-old has turned his gaze to coaching where his practical nature dovetails with coach Stuart Lancaster and others on the staff. This visit to New Zealand was a brilliant time to assess England’s progress. “People who don’t give us a chance would be the people who don’t really know our journey that we have been on so far,” said Farrell. “In last two years we have been getting better and we have been getting better fairly rapidly.” - NZH

two of the “new” players they were looking at with some tough decisions needing to be made soon. “Already we are seeing the guys are in good shape, but unfortunately we have had a few guys dinged up. “Next week we will shift the focus to more game-related stuff, and then no training the following week before naming a reduced squad on the Saturday.” The reduced squad will prepare to play Ellesmere on July 2, a final hit-out before the Shield challenge a week later. The Shield is a big deal but Moore is also preparing the squad to defend the Meads Cup. “They guys involved last year

e n joyed the experience of winning the cup and are really keen to back that up. “We will be a known quantity and no one will take us lightly so things will be harder. “But it’s a good place to be in. As far as I’m concerned I prefer to have it in our mind that we are the favourites. The underdog status is an excuse to lose.” After the shield challenge players return to club rugby with Mid Canterbury finals day on July 26. The Hammers then face Southland on August 2, at a location to be confirmed, and a second pre-season clash, also to be confirmed, before the Meads Cup defence starts at home to the West Coast on August 23.

Richie McCaw: ‘Test footy different from what we’ve been doing for the last two or three months’.

It’s the first test of the year but for All Blacks captain Richie McCaw there are no excuses for a rusty performance against England tonight. Speaking after the team’s captain’s run at Eden Park yesterday, McCaw said every player in the squad had had enough game time to be to be capable of going up a level. “The reality is it’s not going to be perfect because you’ve got 15 guys trying to stop you but accepting mistakes just because you haven’t played together for while, that’s not the standard you need to be at when you’re playing for the All Blacks,” he said. “We’ve all played plenty of rugby up until this point so there are no excuses, really.” It is the start of a three-match series and another step on the journey to a World Cup defence, however,

McCaw said the focus had solely been on a one-off performance against Stuart Lancaster’s men, the last team to beat the All Blacks when they stunned them at Twickenham at the end of 2012. “We understand the challenge that’s in front of us. “Test footy is different to what we’ve been doing for the last two or three months so we’re going to have to make sure we’re quick to get up to speed with that and the intensity that comes from it,” McCaw said. He said the debutantes in the team, Malakai Fekitoa and Patrick Tuipulotu, appeared quietly excited about the challenge, with another “rookie”, the returning Jerome Kaino, also maintaining a quiet intensity. “We all knew he was a classy player before he left. They must have taken it pretty easy on him in Japan - he’s fresh and ready to go.” - APNZ

Eyes firmly on the (basket)ball By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Basketball consumes Tessa Morrison’s life. The 16-year-old plays for Ashburton College, Lincoln University, Canterbury under 19 and the Canterbury Wildcats - the senior women’s team in the National Women’s Basketball Competition (WBC). That amounts to at least 10 hours of training a week, plus the hour-each-way travel to and from the Lincoln University and Canterbury representative practices, as well as games and practising on her own time. This weekend Morrison is in Auckland for round two of the WBC. The Wildcats, featuring fellow Ashburton product Hannah Turton, are fifth and are one of five teams that boast a 3-1 record following the first tournament held in Christchurch last month. The Wildcats had wins over Waitakere Lady Rangers 61-56, North Harbour Breeze 60-46 but lost to the Otago Gold Rush 38-53, while also going down to the Junior Tall Ferns in a non-competition match. “We are right in the running for the top six playoffs if we can go well again this weekend,” she said. In leg two of the competition in Auckland, they play the Rotorua Lady Vols, Auckland Lady Hawks, Capital Flyers, Waikato Wizards and the Nelson Sparks. The top six then play off for the 2014 title in Porirua on July 31-August 2. Playing at the highest level is huge for the teenager’s development. “It’s a big step up playing against adults who are bigger and a lot more physical on the court. “You certainly have to learn fast and you notice the difference when you come back to playing at the college grade where the girls aren’t as physical.” As well as playing for the Canterbury senior side, Morrison is in the Canterbury under 19s, preparing for the national championships in Nelson in July. On Fridays she plays for Ashburton College where they haven’t lost a game, with Morrison missing the top of the table clash with Rangiora last night. Then on Saturdays she plays for Lincoln University in the Christchurch premier women’s competition. That’s a lot of hoops. However, Morrison has an inkling she may want to continue to pursue basketball further post-secondary school, and will test the waters later this year. In December she will take part in an invitational team, coached by Mark Dickel, which will tour America for three playing against top American talent under the watchful eye of college talent scouts. The trip will allow Morrison to further her development but also provide an opportunity of a scholarship to an American college - if that is what she wants. “I think it could be something I want to do, but ask me again when I get back [from the trip]. I’m sure it will be a big eye opener and let me see if it is some- Tessa Morrison: A basketball scholarship at an American college may well be on her horizon. thing that is for me.”

In brief First blood to Spurs San Antonio have beaten defending champions Miami Heat 110-95 in a controversial game one of the NBA Finals after an air conditioning breakdown led to sweltering conditions. The extreme temperature contributed to Heat superstar LeBron James suffering cramps that kept him out of the game in the decisive closing minutes as hosts San Antonio pulled away late. Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Manu Ginobili had 16 points and 11 assists, and Tony Parker added 19 points and eight assists for the Spurs, who shot 59 per cent and improved to six for six in the opening game of NBA Finals series. - AP

Chelsea chase Fabregas Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that his side are interested in signing former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona. Asked if Chelsea had an interest in the Spain international, Mourinho told reporters in London: “We have some. I have (an) interest in analysing the situation.” Fabregas, 27, returned to Barcelona, his formative club, from Arsenal in August 2011 and has won five trophies over the past three seasons at Camp Nou. - AFP

Val makes it 48 straight Valerie Adams made it 48 consecutive wins, taking first place comfortably in the Diamond League shot put in Rome this morning. The best throw for the double Olympic champion came in the second round at 20.01. Adams would have been hoping for more, but it was enough to defeat world number two Christina Schwanitz from Germany by 0.41. Third was Lijiao Gong from China with 19.17. Three of Adams four valid throws were longer that Schwanitz’s best attempt which came in round three. Adams now has a perfect record in the 2014 Diamond Race with eight points from two rounds. Schwanitz and Leantsiuk from Belarus are second equal with 2 points. - HOL

Don’t rule out the Magic By Dana Johannsen Their record over the past five weeks suggests the Magic will struggle to be competitive in the transtasman league playoffs beginning this weekend. Casey Kopua disagrees. The Magic captain will become the only player to have featured in all seven finals series when she runs out on court against the Swifts in tomorrow’s minor semi-final, so you are inclined to listen to the star defender. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty side, the only Kiwi team to make the top four in 2014, head into their seventh straight finals campaign after four losses from their past five games, making them rank outsiders for the crown. “While we haven’t got the

FINALS NSW Swifts v Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic Allphones Arena, Sydney Tomorrow, 4.15pm Major Semi-final Melbourne Vixens v Queensland Firebirds Hisense Arena, Melbourne Monday, 7.45pm

results we wanted over the past few weeks, we’ve proved we’re still good enough to be [in the top four],” said Kopua. “Once you’re in the finals anything can happen. We need to forget about the last few weeks ... all that matters is what we do from here.” But there is one game the Magic have kept at the forefront of their mind as they prepare for tomorrow’s sudden-death clash in Sydney: the 12-goal walloping they received at the hands of the Swifts in their last meeting two weeks ago. After competing well early on, a major lapse through the middle stages of the game cost the Magic dearly. “I think the girls are quite keen to have another crack at the Swifts,” said Magic coach Julie Fitzgerald, who returns to her hometown to take on her former side this weekend. “We’ve shown that we’re capable of running with these teams but we’ve always had these blowouts for two or three minutes where we’ve let teams get a lead that we haven’t been able to pull back, so I think it’s a little bit of inexperience at being able to sustain the effort under such pressure. “We showed improvement in those areas against the Firebirds, and I’m confident that

we can right the ship.” Swifts coach Rob Wright is wary of underestimating the Magic based on their late season results. Knowing what he knows of his former mentor Fitzgerald, he expects their opponents to arrive in Sydney well-drilled and well-prepared. “They haven’t had a good couple of weeks, but when that happens I always think that really steels a team and they go away and really focus on what they can do to improve.”

A final-round loss to the Northern Mystics has also given the Swifts plenty to think about heading into the playoffs. The loss cost the NSW side the minor premiership and an extra life in the finals, but Wright said his side are undeterred by the prospect of having to take the tough road to a title decider. “I always think it’s not what’s happened, it’s what you do next and I’m excited to see how the players respond this week.” - NZH

Sharapova no longer the ‘cow on ice’ Might be easier said than done. Still, Maria Sharapova offered a tidy aphorism to sum up the formula that’s carried her to a third consecutive French Open final. “It’s not how you finish a first set,” Sharapova said, “it’s how you finish the last set.”

Right now, no one is a better closer than she is on clay. Nearing a second championship at Roland Garros, and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall, Sharapova gritted her way to yet another comeback victory, beating Eugenie Bouchard 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the semi-finals yesterday.

“If some things are not working out, I don’t just want to quit in the middle. Because when you lose the first set or a few games or you’re down a break, that’s not the end of the match,” Sharapova said. “That’s the type of philosophy that I play with.” She famously described her-

self years ago as feeling like a “cow on ice” on clay, but Sharapova now has won her past 19 matches that went to three sets on the demanding surface. Sharapova will face Simona Halep, a 22-year-old Romanian who never before had been past - AP the quarters at a major.

In brief

■ OPINION

Mr X casts a big shadow over cricket C ricket, or more to the point dodgy cricketers, have been off the sports pages for the last few days, but that’s more due to rugby’s test window having arrived rather than the distinctly unhealthy aroma surrounding the summer game having dissipated. While all the news is about tonight’s battle with the Poms (how many times do we have to hear that the visitors are NOT a B grade side, they’re NOT just filling in for the good guys, and they ARE all fully fledged internationals? Enough times for us to believe it? We’ll see in the last 15 minutes tonight, when the men in white get steamrolled by a group of players just hitting their straps after a strong diet of Super Rugby over the last few months); the ongoing drama involved various Mr Xs and vast sums of money changing hands for ‘services rendered’ carries on in the background. The Lou Vincent Affair has opened a can of worms that wasn’t really closed all that tight

anyway, and the fallout will be felt for a very long time to come. The money sloshing around cricket is just astounding. I think it was Betfair that put $600 million through its books on the last Big Bash in Australia. That’s just one official betting agency, in one competition, so how much, how many more hundreds of millions of dollars, were actually punted and lost/ won on the competition? Is the rake-off from dodgy dealings enough to leave a little spare to try and tempt players who, while getting a tidy little sum for the efforts, don’t remotely see the massive bucks being thrown around in the betting arena? Worth a try, the big punters would say, and the temptation has certainly worked its murky magic in the past. Hansie Cronje will always be the prime example - the idol of many, and a fine, honest, upstanding international cricket captain (sounds like our current model) hounded and harassed by a couple of scummy, low-life

Back to one referee? Bill Harrigan, the inventor of the dual-referee model, says the time has come for the NRL to revert to having just one whistle-blower. Harrigan believes the two-referee system he and former referees boss Robert Finch introduced in 2009, has been tinkered with so much that it’s now making officiating worse. For years Harrigan argued that the increasing speed of the game made it impossible for one person to maintain control. Sacked as the NRL’s head of referees in 2012, Harrigan says he’s observed this season that inconsistency with policing the 10 metres and interference by the pocket ref at the ruck has become unacceptable. “I’ve changed my mind after watching this year,” Harrigan said. - AAP

Mind power the key It will be a case of mind over matter for South Sydney tonight when they host the Warriors at Perth’s nib Stadium. The five-day turnaround between games combined with a long trek west have put the Rabbitohs under the pump heading into the clash. But coach Michael Maguire is confident his charges will be able to overcome the physical challenges by applying a greater mental strength. “I think it’s all between the ears,” Maguire said. “If you go into games even slightly under-prepared mentally, you get burned. - AAP

Farewell Guardian Coen Lammers EDITOR

he paper you are holding in your hands today will be my last one as editor of the Ashburton Guardian. I am moving on after two and a half extremely hectic and eventful years with a wide range of emotions. One part of me is reluctant to leave as I am a newspaper man through and through, and love producing exciting editions that will grab the attention of the district. I have worked in many places around the world, but I have never experienced such an intense relationship between readers and their paper as I have in Ashburton. Over 70 per cent of the population reads this paper and many have been subcribers for several decades. You all have a wonderful sense of ownership of the Guardian and are not shy to share your opinions. I have always been palpably aware that we are here to serve your needs and be the voice of the community, so I hope I have kept my end of the bargain. The move to Ashburton was a unique chance to complete two significant projects that many other papers in New Zealand are still grappling with. First the launch of a new subscriber-based website and eight months later the revamp to the current compact format. In my last editorial I want to thank owner Bruce Bell for giving me the opportunity and the support to make these bold, exciting changes. I owe an enormous deal of gratitude to the small team at the Guardian for taking on these huge challenges with boundless energy, skill, flexibility and patience. The staff at the Guardian have an unparalleled sense of responsibility and ownership about the fate of their paper and the people of Mid Canterury are privileged to be served by such a terrific group of people, from the receptionist to the general manager. The Guardian will always be my baby, but I am comfortable to leave it in their capable hands and their talented new editor, Stu Oldham.

YOUR VIEW My opinion Congratulations to the Guardian for being read in the corridors of power. What a surprise to read a response from the Minister of Education to my opinion piece published May 29. The minister points out that I may have either omitted facts or not been aware of them. All of the information I put forward came from minutes of the cross sector forum. I don’t attend the forum but I have been reading their minutes. I stand corrected if I am unaware of some facts. Any initiative whether it be government or private to improve achievement is certainly scrutinised in our school. I have read the latest information about the IES initiative and look forward to seeing this in action. I also want to point out that

Your matters

Air rules ECan is again spending huge amounts of “our” money to convince us that our air is very polluted due to woodburners. I remain unconvinced. The only way that I will become a “believer” is if ECan employees, including Mr Bradford, our national and local body politicians, including our mayor, start wearing dustmasks whenever they are outside. This would send a powerful message and convince many that the air pollution problem is real.

Renting? Know your rights Matt Marshall A POINT OF LAW

uhammad Ali is believed to have said “service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”. However poignant that may be, landlords much prefer money for the rent you pay for your room in their flat. This article will explore the main things that all landlords and tenants should know in regards to the financial aspect of their relationship: rent and bond payments. Once a landlord has selected a tenant for their property a written tenancy agreement should be entered into by the parties. A free copy can be obtained from the Government’s Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (the MBIE) website which has incorporated the Department of Building and Housing. Both the landlord and tenant should keep a copy of the tenancy agreement so that both are clear as to its terms. If any of the details in the tenancy agreement change, such as contact details, the other party should be notified within 10 working days.

The rent charged is central to all tenancy agreements. The tenancy agreement will specify the rent payable, the frequency of rent payments and the place or bank account number where the rent payments are to be made. The landlord cannot increase the rent within the first 180 days of the tenancy or within 180 days since the last rent increase. Rent increases can generally only be made after 60 days’ written notice has been given to the tenant by the landlord. The landlord cannot require rent to be paid more than two weeks in advance. Rent is

often paid by way of automatic payment, but if rent is paid in cash then the landlord should immediately issue a receipt. The landlord can require a bond to be paid which will cover any damage or loss caused by the tenants, but this does not cover fair wear and tear. It may also cover unpaid rent if the tenant is in arrears at the end of the tenancy. The bond is not held by the landlord. Once it has been received by the landlord the bond must be lodged with the MBIE within 23 working days and a receipt should be provided to the tenant. The maximum bond that can

be required is four weeks’ rent, although it should be noted that if the rent is increased then the landlord may require a further sum to be contributed towards the bond which is the difference between the initial amount for four weeks’ rent and the new amount. Similarly, if the rent is decreased then a refund to the tenant is due of any amount held by the MBIE in excess of the new amount for four weeks’ rent. If the landlord sells the property the rights in relation to the bond transfer to the new owner of the property. If any issues arise in relation to rent or bond issues the MBIE encourages the tenant and landlord to try to resolve issues between themselves in the first instance, but if that is unsuccessful the MBIE can be of assistance by arranging mediation and, if necessary, a tenancy tribunal hearing. Helpful information can be found on the MBIE website under the link to Building and Housing. This article is necessarily brief and general in nature. You should seek guidance from your legal advisor before taking any action related to the matters raised in this article.

Walk life’s journey trusting in God

’ve been spending some time recently looking at the book of Romans. Reading in chapter three we see this interesting statement “Boasting is excluded (or not allowed)”. That set me thinking about boasting. It has a range of meanings, but a simple definition might be having an overinflated confidence in your own achievements – and then telling others about them. It used to be considered rather bad taste to indulge in boasting. Now it seems to be encouraged. A quiet acknowledgement when others praised you for an accomplishment has been

Rev. David Bayne

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

replaced by a loud and public crowing about one’s own deeds. We see it in the realm of sports. We see it in puffed-up CVs. We expect it, I suppose, in politics. We encourage it in the political correctness of denying failures and only emphasising that everyone is successful. Where does this overwhelming confidence in ourselves come from? Does all the evidence stack up to show that we are all we im-

agine and declare ourselves to be? Or are we whistling in the dark? Maybe we boast because the alternative is too uncomfortable to deal with. Sometimes a sober selfassessment is of great help to us – both as individuals and as a society. To assess ourselves we need a standard. Not one that is built on shifting sands, ever changing and never reliable, but a reliable standard. God has provided such a standard in Jesus Christ. Measure yourself against him and ask if you have reason to boast in your life. It is like comparing a torch with a near flat battery to the sun. God knows that we

all fail the standard he has set for us in His Word. No-one can be justified in God’s sight by their feeble attempts to live up to his standards. However, God has provided the answer to our problem too. Faith in Jesus Christ – trusting in Him rather in self, is the way to finding acceptance before God. Not boasting, but humility is the way of life. Confidence in God rather than self is what brings true peace and purpose in life. May I encourage you to walk life’s journey as a walk of trust and confidence in Him. Rev. David Bayne is with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church

PwC signs on for big new Christchurch building

House prices climbing

By Anne GiBson Consultants PwC have signed up to be anchor tenants in a big new Christchurch building which it also has naming rights over. The building will rise on Cashel Street, but not in the retail precinct near ReSTART. “It is on the Hagley Park side of the Bridge of Remembrance,” a spokesperson said yesterday morning. Maurice Noone, PwC regional managing partner, said the new building at 56-64 Cashel Street would be on the Avon River, overlooking the Bridge of Remembrance. Construction of the A-grade six-level building will start in the next three months and PwC expects to shift in around the

middle of 2016, he said. This is one of the biggest commercial pre-commitments

An impression of the new PwC building.

Auckland house values rose 13.1 per cent annually but have shot up 30.6 per cent since the last peak of the market in 2007. The latest monthly QV Residential Price Movement Index is just out. That shows national house values last month rose 8.2 per cent over the past year, and 0.7 per cent over the past three months. “This means they are now 13.9 per cent above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 6.6 per cent and values remain below the 2007 peak by 2.2 per cent. The Auckland region as a whole has increased 0.7 per cent over the past three months. – APNZ

‘Weiji’ – danger or opportunity?

peaking in Indianapolis in April 1959, US President John F. Kennedy said “when written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters – one represents danger and one represents opportunity.” In part, his comments pointed to the rapid industrialisation that was occurring in communist China at that time, which has evolved into the global economic transformation story with which we are very familiar today. This unparalleled growth (which incidentally, despite slowing, is still forecast to be 7.4 per cent in 2014 (1)), has been fuelled by a credit expansion which has seen the regular commercial banking sector in China attain total assets greater than 260 per cent of GDP. In its most recent economic outlook(2), the OECD suggests that such a pace of growth in credit “often has presaged financial crises for advanced countries in the past” and “raises concerns about credit quality and financial stability”. In the case of China, curbs by the banking regulator to limit lending and place a cap on the deposit interest rates offered by commercial banks, has led to an increase in non-core lending institutions, known as “shadow banks”. Shadow banking is now estimated to comprise assets somewhere between 40 per cent and 70 per cent of GDP.

Ian Lennie and Selwyn Sloan

MONEY MATTERS

Shadow banks fulfil an economic role of meeting the unmet demand for credit not available directly from commercial banks, as well as addressing the demand for higher-yielding investments from individuals and businesses with surplus cash. This year, the volume of loan maturities in the shadow banking sector is forecast to increase, with one estimate suggesting over $US400 billion in trust product maturities alone. With a significant proportion of lending relating to real estate projects, the confidence of investors in supporting loan roll-overs will, to some extent, be influenced by their confidence in property prices being sustained, or continuing to grow. Despite the National Bureau of Statistics of China reporting that the total investment in real estate development in the first four months of 2014 increased by 16.4 per cent year-on-year(3), the rate of growth has slowed, with many commentators observing that a slowing property market is likely to have a direct impact on China’s overall economic growth.

In mitigation of this risk, the OECD observes that the commercial banking sector in China is well capitalised, and increasingly tightly regulated, with banks having minimal nonperforming loans and adequate loss provisions. While the shadow-banking sector is not subject to the same controls, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (the entity which regulates commercial banks) is also taking a more active interest in supervising aspects of its lending activities. Whether or not a crisis in the Chinese real estate market (or wider economy) is looming, is a matter of opinion and conjecture. As, so it happens, is the accuracy of John F. Kennedy’s translation. While scholars agree that “danger” is correct, most would suggest that “critical point” is a better translation rather than “opportunity”.

In brief

Man lied over boy’s abuse before murder By Emma KEmp When a two-year-old boy turned up to his Sydney preschool with bruises, his stepfather told the carers he’d had another fall in the shower. The swollen bite marks around the little boy’s elbow, he said, were self-inflicted. But after the man left the pre-school that day in February 2008, staff found further disturbing signs of serious abuse. The toddler had a bruise on his pelvic area, along with a large, fresh cut on his shoulder. This was one of at least three occasions in 2006 and 2007 when the man had assaulted his stepson while he was in his sole care. These attacks left the twoyear-old with severe bruising, swelling and rash-like haemor-

rhaging to his head, face, neck and shoulders, and bleeding into his nappy. His stepfather repeatedly lied to cover up the abuse. And that was before he beat him to death. The man, who cannot be named, is convicted of murdering his stepson on March 3, 2008, while caring for him alone at The Oaks on the outskirts of Sydney’s southwest. The 39-year-old was supposed to be looking after the boy while his mother was at TAFE. He pleaded guilty in late 2013. At a sentencing submissions hearing, crown prosecutor Chris Maxwell QC told the NSW Supreme Court the boy died from two savage blows one to his stomach and another

to his head. The first tore his stomach wall and would have caused the two-year-old “enormous pain” that required urgent medical attention. But the man failed to seek help after the attack. An agreed statement of facts shows an autopsy determined the child was left in this state for perhaps hours before he was fatally hit on the head, causing a massive skull fracture and brain swelling. “The defendant witnessed this suffering and then finally struck him in the head,” Mr Maxwell said. The autopsy stated the injuries could have only been caused by the infliction of grievous bodily harm. Nevertheless, the man told police his stepson had fallen on

concrete and had a pre-existing mental condition. He said that hours later, after putting the toddler to bed, he went into his room and wiped some blood and vomit away from his mouth. The two-year-old’s father told the court the image of his son’s cold, lifeless body haunted him. His victim impact statement was read out by a support worker as the father left the court briefly in tears. “My son was such a wonderful little boy,” it said. “When people ask me how I cope, I tell them, ‘I have to’. But secretly, deep down, my heart has been broken beyond repair.” The convicted child killer will return to court next month. - AAP

North Korea says it has detained a US tourist for “hostile activities” after he reportedly left a bible at a hotel, bringing to three the number of Americans held by the reclusive regime including missionary Kenneth Bae.

D Day ceremony Hundreds of veterans have gathered to mark 70 years since the historic D-Day invasion of France that hastened the end of World War Two. At ceremonies on the beaches of northern France, where the biggest amphibious assault in history was launched in 1944, heads of state, royalty and prime ministers rubbed shoulders with the veterans, now in their 90s, who risked their lives to liberate Europe from Nazism. “This day, which began in chaos and fire, would end in blood and tears, tears and pain, tears and joy at the end of 24 hours that changed the world and forever marked Normandy,” French President Francois Hollande said as he opened the ceremonies. Around 1800 veterans will honour the sacrifice of thousands of their comrades who fell on D-Day. - AFP

In brief

Mounties get their man A gunman suspected of killing three Canadian police officers and wounding two others in a brazen attack has surrendered after a man-hunt that put an eastern province under lockdown. The search for Justin Bourque, who is alleged to have carried out the brazen attack in the country’s easternmost province of New Brunswick on Wednesday, had put the city of Moncton on lockdown for more than a day as police hunted the man described as armed and dangerous. “Justin Bourque was arrested by RCMP at 12.10 in Moncton. He is in police custody. “Residents of north Moncton can now leave their homes,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on Twitter. Residents could finally emerge after having barricaded their doors while police combed a wooded neighbourhood with dogs, armoured vehicles and aircraft for over 30 hours. Moncton had become a ghost town as shops, schools and government buildings remained closed yesterday and some people had even left the city altogether. In the end Bourque surrendered to special operations police without putting up resistance, said a witness to the arrest, Michelle Thibodeau. The mayor of the city of 70,000 congratulated the security forces on their success. Witnesses said Bourque, wearing military fatigues and carrying a hunting rifle and automatic rifle, had opened fire on police officers Wednesday on a Moncton street.

The Italian navy says it has rescued around 2500 asylum-seekers from 17 boats in the past 24 hours as good weather conditions in the Mediterranean further boost the influx of asylum-seekers trying to reach Europe. The navy said in a statement yesterday that the San Giorgio, an amphibious transport dock ship, had picked up the highest number - 998 migrants including 214 women and 157 minors. Four merchant ships flying the Hong Kong, Italian, Moldovan and Panamanian colours that were sailing in the area also assisted in the rescue operations, the navy said. - AFP

It was the worst tragedy to hit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since 2005, when four of its agents were killed in Alberta in the west. The shooting sent shockwaves rippling across Canada, which prides itself on being largely free of the gun violence that regularly plagues cities in

the neighbouring United States. Yesterday the flag at Parliament in Ottawa flew at half mast. On what appeared to be his Facebook page, Bourque - who lived in a local mobile home trailer park - posted extracts from a song by American heavy metal band Megadeth just be-

fore the shooting. He took letters from the refrain of the song and spelled out the letters of the word freedom accompanied by the words: “this spells out FREEDOM, it means nothing to me.” He also wrote about his love of guns and loathing of law enforcement officials. - AFP

‘No apologies’ for Taliban trade - Obama President Barack Obama has vehemently refused to apologise for doing a prisoner trade with the Taliban to free a US soldier, despite a fierce political storm over the deal in Washington. Critics, both Republican and Democratic, have asked whether the transfer of five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for the release of US Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was even legal, and question both the price paid and the principle of a swap.

A Chinese-born Australian artist detained in Beijing ahead of the 25th anniversary of the violent military crackdown at Tiananmen Square could be released and deported in two weeks. Guo Jian, who was a protester there in 1989, was taken away by Chinese authorities last weekend shortly after a profile of him appeared in a newspaper in commemoration of the anniversary of the crackdown in which hundreds of people were killed. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said this week the federal government would do whatever it can to secure the 52-year-old’s release. - AAP

Artist to be deported

But Obama, asked about the row raging in Washington at the G7 summit in Brussels was unapologetic, repeating that he had a duty as commander-inchief to get Bergdahl home. “We have a basic principle, we do not leave anybody wearing the American uniform behind,” Obama said yesterday, adding that he had acted last week because the health of Bergdahl, held captive for nearly five years was deteriorating. “We saw an opportunity and we seized it and I make no apologies for that.” The president also defended

his decision to announce Bergdahl’s release in a televised appearance in the White House Rose Garden with the soldier’s parents at his side. “This is not a political football - you had a couple of parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land, who they hadn’t seen in five years,” Obama said. “I make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back a young man to his parents and that the American people understand this is somebody’s child.” Some of the president’s crit-

ics have warned that Obama, already burdened by a series of crises, has sunk deeper into political quicksand by negotiating with the Taliban, keeping congress in the dark or manufacturing a military success story in order to mask other scandals. Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein, who is a Democrat, has even accused Obama of breaking US law by failing to provide lawmakers with 30 days’ notice before transferring prisoners out of Guantanamo. - AFP

Clashes have broken out between sword-wielding Sikhs at the Golden Temple in northern India on the 30th anniversary of a notorious army raid on the site. At least two people were wounded in the violence yesterday, according to an AFP photographer at the temple in the city of Amritsar, which is the holiest shrine in the Sikh religion. Hundreds of Sikhs had gathered at the shrine to pay their respects to those killed in the June 6, 1984 raid of the temple by Indian troops aimed at flushing out armed separatists demanding an independent Sikh homeland. - AFP

Sheep improve health Scientists have mapped the entire genome of sheep, paving the way to improve the health of the humble farm animal for better meat and wool. After eight years of work on the entire genetic makeup of the species, the researchers also found the secrets of the sheep’s digestive system and unique fat metabolism process that allows it to produce and maintain its thick coat. Sheep became a species distinct from goats and other ruminants about four million years ago, with a four-compartmented stomach that can convert rich plant materials into animal protein, according to the study. - AFP

Killer on campus A gunman stormed a college in the northwestern US city of Seattle and shot four people, one of them fatally, before he was brought down by a student security guard wielding only pepper spray. In what the city mayor denounced as the latest example of America’s “epidemic of gun violence”, the shooter opened fire yesterday on campus with a shotgun and was only halted after he stopped to reload. - AFP

Especially those who accompanied Trevor to his various interests such as RSA, Lions, wood turning, vintage car rallies, curling, bowls and church. Since Trevor's passing we have been comforted by and appreciated the many visits, cards, phone calls, food, flowers and offers of help. Thanks to the Reverend Brian Gilmour and all who attended Trevor's celebration of life service especially those who travelled from afar. Please accept this acknowledgement as our personal thank you for your kindness.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) While you think someone else has something covered they’re likely to think that you have, with misunderstandings and mixed messages likely. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Having the Moon in your work sector means you’ll need to keep your work hat off over the weekend, but is a valuable chance to regroup. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The stars ask that you take your work hat off over the weekend and embrace the spirit of fun, throw yourself into your romantic creative passions. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With social and serendipitous conditions and Pluto holding the door open to second chances on the relationship front, anything is possible. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Weekend or not, an alliance between work and career forces and a boost in confidence makes it important to keep your professional hat on. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With Mercury turning retrograde in your friendship sector this creates an opportunity to catch up with old friends and make up for lost time. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Take time out over the weekend to listen to your intuition, savouring those moments where you can relax and find time to hear yourself think. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Just in time for the weekend Mercury turns retrograde in an adventurous part of your chart, opening the door to second chances and nostalgia. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As a smart head for money gains a valuable sense of hindsight take a wait and see approach to income and money matters until you get your bearings. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) The love gods make this a good weekend for love and your relationships, with the romantic focus on the future and the relationship focus on the past. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Take the time to have a rethink and to return to the drawing board to ensure you not only have a battle plan, but you’ve picked your battles wisely. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) There is an exciting twist when it comes to matters of the heart this weekend, with the doors opening to second chances and a do over.
