More owners opt for P testing ‘P can be found in any town ... anywhere and Ashburton is no different’

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

INSIDE

An increasing number of prospective homeowners and landlords are opting to test properties for methamphetamine, an Ashburton real estate agent says.

Kim Miller, a registered methamphetamine tester for MethSolutions, has seen the demand for the service escalate in recent weeks.

“People are increasingly aware of the problem – it’s at the front of their minds,” she said.

Nationwide, up to 70 per cent of tested rental properties will return a positive result at some time, pointing to the extent of the problem in New Zealand, according to the MethSolutions statistics.

“New Zealand and Australia have the highest rate of P (a common street name for the drug) users in the world,” Mrs Miller said.

“In terms of prevalence P can be found in any town, any time anywhere and Ashburton is no different.

“Last month about 40 per cent of the

company’s tests came back positive.”

Users can be found across all echelons of society and are likely to live in top end accommodation as they are in social housing.

“The measured demographic of P users, if there is such a thing, is a woman aged 35 to 50 with a disposable income – which is very scary,” she said.

Mount Hutt College’s Mayu Suzuki is heading to Auckland today to compete in the national finals of the New Zealand Linguistics Olympiad.

The Year 12 student is one of 20 from around the country to have made it into the finals which will test the students’ problem solving skills in language and logic.

Mayu sat the first round of the competition at Mount Hutt College with eight other students in February.

Mayu said she is really looking

forward to the exam but was also very nervous. She had been practising with past questions and had enjoyed the first round because the puzzles were fun, she said.

“I kind of enjoyed the last exam.”

The Olympiad was organised by the Linguistic Society of New Zealand and this is only the second time an event like this has been held in New Zealand.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Cooling down EA Networks centre

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The heat might be turned down next summer in the EA Networks Centre if the Ashburton District Council can stump up the cash for a new cooling system.

On several occasions this summer the council fielded calls from disgruntled members of the public who said the temperature in the pool and stadium was too high, but because the complex was built without air conditioning units there was no means of

bringing it down to a comfortable level.

Since November there were 47 days when the temperature rose above 26 degrees outside and that pumped the indoor temperature up to 30 degrees plus. Complaints came thick and fast from school users, sporting groups and individuals.

At yesterday’s council meeting councillors decided to commission a report that would outline the options and costs around installing air conditioning or an

alternative solution.

“This could become a health and safety issue and this report will look at what we can do to eliminate the problem,” councillor Neil Brown said.

Commissioning a report did not mean the council would install air conditioning; the solution could be as simple as tweaking the heat exchange equipment, although that would only solve the problem in the pool area, Mr Brown said.

“There’s no budget for install-

ing air conditioning or whatever is needed in there.

“We need to get the report and then look at where the money comes from if we decide to do anything.”

While there might be unbudgeted costs involved, there were already indications that not dealing with the problem would make it difficult for the complex to attract big events,” councillor Ken Cutforth said.

There had been a suggestion that air condition had been axed

Expo aims to bring people back to the basics

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Julia Crosson and Katie Essler are hoping to turn the tide away from processed food one household at a time.

The pair are the drivers of tomorrow’s Back to Basics expo, an event that is about providing people with the knowledge they need to turn back the clock and learn how to grow and make their own food.

The expo is very much about the community sharing ideas, tips and knowledge, Mrs Crosson said.

“We certainly don’t have all the answers, we’re learning all the time too. The expo is about people asking how to do things, about community sharing.”

The expo is in its third year and each year it attracts more stallholders and bigger crowds.

This year more than 60 stalls have been booked.

There will be information available and several demonstrations on how to preserve food, cook low cost nutritious meals or how to use natural ingredients to create skin care products.

It was easy to slip into convenience food mode, Mrs Crosson said and the expo was a way of showing people how easy it was to change that habit, to grow vegetables and to make meals from scratch.

From garden to preserving jar, Julia Crosson preparing for tomorrow’s Back to Basics Expo.

“Often doing this doesn’t take a lot of time, but the change can be quite dramatic.”

Many people did not have a ‘vegetable gardening, cooking from scratch’ model to base their own lives on and the expo was a way for people to pick up ideas and tips that could start them

down the back to basics track, she said. “We may not be quite ready to have a large community garden yet but most people have a piece of dirt around their home they could utilise for their own garden.

“We’re keeping the conversation going. We know we won’t

convert everyone but we want to keep this going.”

This year’s event will feature a hangi which will be the main food attraction of the day.

The Back to Basics Expo will be held in the New Life Church on Melcombe Street from 11am to 3pm tomorrow.

during the construction phase to keep costs down, councillor Rod Beavan said.

If that had occurred, he suggested the council could be in for other catch-up work required from other equipment that had been taken out to save money.

Councillors agreed to have a report on options and costs prepared and for this to be funded out of the property account.

This report will also contain ongoing running and maintenance costs for each option.

More home owners opt for P testing From P1 One of the major issues for property owners and tenants is the insidious nature of the drug.

The invisible, odourless toxic residues which remain after methamphetamine is manufactured or consumed in a property can seriously damage the health of future occupants.

For children the risk is amplified.

“Kids are the most susceptible, they crawl around on the floor and are more likely to put things in their mouths,” Mrs Miller said.

Needless to say evidence of methamphetamine use will impact on property values. Extreme levels of contamination have required the demolition of buildings and the removal of topsoil.

For this reason solicitors are increasingly advising their clients to include methamphetamine testing as a condition of offer on a property, Mrs Miller said.

Landlords are also encouraged to meth test between tenancies, and to talk to their insurers to make sure policies cover professional decontamination costs.

“That will also put tenants on notice that there is a no tolerance policy, which is what Housing New Zealand have done,” Mrs Miller said. “It will make it much harder for these people to rent a house.”

In brief

How much return is enough?

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When you’re looking for a return on your money, how much is enough, that’s the question Ashburton District councillors grappled with yesterday.

Ashburton Contracting Ltd is a council controlled trading operation and it pays 50 per cent of its trading profit each year to its shareholder, the council. The more money it makes the more the council earns and in the next financial year while ACL wanted a target of 10 per cent as its roll-

ing average rate of return; the council wanted 14.

Over the five years from 2015 ACL’s rate of return has varied between 17.5 per cent in 2000 to a low of 12.1 per cent in 2014 but in the current business environment suggesting the rolling rate would remain at 14 per cent was a big ask said councillor Peter Reveley.

“I believe this is totally unrealistic given the circumstances around this district over the next few years. The council needs to put the brakes on and a blow

torch on everything,” he said.

“What we expect to get and what we get may well be so far apart. We shouldn’t be putting this on them, it’s totally unrealistic.”

The civil and roading contractor had performed well over the years but it was trading in tough times, councillor Darryl Nelson said.

“At interest rates where they are, we’re still getting a good return at somewhere around 10 to 12 per cent.”

Dropping the rate of return to

10 per cent was setting the bar too low, councillor Russell Ellis said.

“We do that and the level of expectation drops,” he said.

Against the rate of return, the council had to bear in mind that its equity in the company had risen from $8 or $9 million five years ago to around $14 million today, councillor Neil Brown said.

“They’re giving us a higher dividend every year.”

The council settled on a rolling rate of return over five years of 12 per cent.

Students buzzing over school fair Rakaia School is getting ready for one of the biggest days of the year – the school fair which will be held on Sunday.

Students have been busy making games to play and soaps and dreamcatchers to sell.

Pictured are Penny Docherty, 7, Lachlan Munn, 7, Maddie Pegg,

6, Reuben Curran, 6, and Louane Kinikini, 7 with dreamcatchers.

Principal Mark Ellis said the fair, which is held every two years, is a great way to raise money for the school as well as an enjoyable day out.

There will be top-notch entertainment including Wanaka

country music artist Jody Direen, fun activities for children and lots of food.

This year they will have 36 stalls which is nearly double the previous number of 20.

The fair will be held at Rakaia School from 11am to 3pm on Sunday.

Ashburton will not be affected by a countrywide proposal which would see court collection officers working from home.

The Department of Justice has announced the move to close specialist collections counters in the 27 courts where they are still operating, putting about 100 jobs on the line.

Under this system regular court staff would carry out the collections role, as already occurs in smaller district courts such as Ashburton, a justice department spokesperson said.

The department has successfully trialled a work-fromhome pilot programme for the past two years and plans are in place to extend on it.

Fines can still be paid at courthouses, as well as over the phone, online or at Westpac bank branches.

The Public Service Association has voiced concerns over the move out of concern it could increase the workload of regular court staff.

Cyclist versus car Ashburton St John officers attended an incident between a cyclist and a car on the intersection of Bryant Street and Lagmhor Road on Wednesday morning. A woman in her 60s was transported to Ashburton Hospital for treatment for moderate injuries.

St John was also alerted to an incident involving three vehicles on River Terrace in Ashburton shortly after 1pm on Wednesday. No one was injured.

PoolSafe accreditation Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre has received PoolSafe accreditation during its first assessment under the scheme.

The PoolSafe Quality Management Scheme is an independent assessment of public pools to ensure that their operations and facilities are safe. Of the 214 public pools in New Zealand, more than 140 are members of the PoolSafe scheme. Sports facility manager Steve Prescott said that receiving accreditation showed that all pool practices and procedures met the highest standard.

MPS expo Methven Primary School will be transformed with stalls, ponies and a car boot sale this afternoon for its first ever expo. Principal Chris Murphy said they had planned to hold the expo to show the community their new modern learning classrooms but these have been delayed so they decided to make it more about the entire town. All the classes have been busy making things to sell for the event. It will be held at the school from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.

Boy, 3, wanders streets A 3-year old boy found wandering alone on a Christchurch street yesterday has been reunited with his parents. The youngster was spotted by a passing motorist on Hampshire St yesterday morning.

He was just “a few hundred metres” from his home, police say.

But it’s not known for how long he was missing. “We have no idea how long he was wandering around when we found him,” Sergeant Grant Jolly said. The boy was not distressed. Other agencies are now involved, Mr Jolly said, as standard procedure.

■ DAYLIGHT SAVING

In brief

Check those smoke alarms

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

When you put your clock back tomorrow night, check your smoke alarm while you’re at it; it might just save your life.

It’s a message the New Zealand Fire Service puts out twice a year when the clocks change for daylight saving, but it’s a message that too many people still aren’t listening to.

Ashburton’s fire risk management officer Murray Cairns said nationally the fire service attended around 3500 call-

outs a year to house fires, and it’s estimated 80 per cent of those homes either don’t have a smoke alarm installed, or they do have one, but it doesn’t work.

While the fire service would like to think most homes now had smoke alarms, Mr Cairns said unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

“A lot of people do, but there are still people who don’t have enough too,” Mr Cairns said.

It’s advised that all homes should have working smoke alarms in their living areas, hall-

ways and one in each bedroom.

Mr Cairns said the bedroom smoke alarms were particularly important when it came to fires which broke out at night; the closer they were, the better chance they were heard.

New homes had to have smoke alarms installed, as did homes getting new log burners installed, but it was one thing having smoke alarms in your house, and another thing to ensure they actually worked.

Mr Cairns said when people changed their clocks for day-

light saving, it was the perfect time to also check their smoke alarms. If you have them installed, clean them and check they had working batteries in them, and if you don’t have any, get some – preferably photoelectric ones as recommended by the New Zealand Fire Service.

Mr Cairns said if people couldn’t check their own smoke alarms, and had no one to do it for them, they could contact him to arrange for someone to help them.

Women having babies from today will get an extra two weeks’ paid leave, as the final stage of an increase from 14 weeks to 18 weeks’ leave comes into force. It’s one of a raft of changes taking effect today, including a $25 weekly pay rise for beneficiaries with children, a $12.50 increase in tax credits for low-income working families, a minimum wage increase from $14.75 to $15.25 an hour, a 2.7 per cent increase in NZ superannuation, higher childcare subsidies and lower ACC levies.

But the sting in the tail is that beneficiaries will now have to look for part-time work of at least 20 hours a week as soon as their youngest children turn 3, down from age 5.

Tai Tapu artist’s work features in exhibition A Tai Tapu artist’s work showcasing our natural environment will open at the Ashburton Art Gallery tomorrow.

Jan Chaffey’s exhibition, Recent Works, draws attention to the native flora and fauna of New Zealand and highlights the need for their protection.

The works in the exhibition were produced over the past two years and include a number of large oil paintings on canvas that capture native plants in a rich palette with loose and gestural brushstrokes, along with some more delicate studies on mulberry paper.

The exhibition will open tomorrow at 2pm, along with an exhibition of selected Jeffrey Harris works from the Bosshard Browne Collection.

Harris is one of New Zealand’s most powerful painters and a selection of his works from a private collection and drawings from the artist’s own personal collection, will be on display at the Ashburton Art Gallery.

The works included are mostly drawn from the first 12 years of his full time career, collected by his friend, collector and former dealer Patricia Bosshard Browne.

The collection of paintings, etchings and mixed media works is now on long-term loan at the

‘Stigmata’ divides nation

BY VAIMOANA TAPALEAO A woman claiming to have suffered stigmata – the injuries Jesus suffered when he was crucified – has become the subject of hot debate.

People in Samoa are divided in belief after a 23-year-old woman was pictured with wounds on her feet and the palms of her hands.

Media named her as Toaipuapuaga Opapo Soana’i, and she bore injuries to her side and forehead.

The wounds mirror those Christ suffered before and during his crucifixion.

His side was pierced and a crown of thorns was pushed on to his head, causing him to bleed.

The woman, who is the daughter of a church minister, told local media she began seeing visions days before Easter.

She played the part of Jesus in a Sunday School Easter play, during which church mem-

The woman played the part of Jesus in an Easter play, during which church members noticed wounds appear on her body.

bers noticed wounds appearing on her body.

Video footage of the play show congregation members approaching the front of the church, where she had collapsed, to fan her.

Her claims have sparked huge debate in the highly religious island nation.

Members of the public have taken to social media to dis-

cuss the authenticity of the woman’s claims.

Many people are backing Ms Soana’i, calling the event a miracle.

“If this is not enough to make one believe, then I don’t know what else to prove to the unbelievers and evil-doers,” one woman wrote.

“Believe and have faith. Stigmata is for real. I’m envious of

this young woman,” another wrote.

Many others, however, are skeptical, calling the woman a hoax.

One man said people were becoming gullible and blind.

“My newsfeed is blowing up with this stigmata case in Samoa.

Abortion punishment Trump’s latest idea Women who get abortions should receive “some form of punishment,” Republican front-runner Donald Trump said yesterday, without indicating specifically what the punishment should be.

The comments came in a heated exchange with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews during the taping in a town hall in Wisconsin, which holds its primary next week.

“There has to be some form of punishment,” Trump told Matthews in the exchange over whether abortion should be banned.

The subject remains highly

controversial decades after the Supreme Court legalised it.

Pressed by Matthews on the nature of that punishment, Trump responded: “I haven’t determined what the punishment should be.”

He also suggested that women could continue to receive abortions, but at “illegal places”.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton quickly responded on Twitter, noting Trump’s comments and adding, “Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse.

“Horrific and telling.”

Trump has often said he’s

Donald Trump opposed to abortions except in the case of three exceptions: rape, incest and when the life of the mother is at risk.

He used to describe himself as in favour of abortion rights, but says his stance has evolved over the years.

Trump’s campaign later issued a further statement from the candidate: “This issue is unclear and should be put back into the states for determination.

“Like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions, which I have outlined numerous times.”

Even before Trump’s comments, recent polls have put his negative ratings nearing or even eclipsing 70 per cent among women.

A very public proposal Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes got down on one knee during a gig in Australia to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. The singer asked Tuesday Cross, who occasionally sings backing vocals and plays keyboard for the band, to come out from behind her instrument during the encore of their show on Tuesday. Jesse then got down on one knee and pulled out a ring and said, “Tuesday, will you marry me?”, and the rapturous crowd cheered when Tuesday said “Yes”. Tuesday spent the remainder of the show in the wings on the phone.

Jane gets to punch Tarzan It was crucial to the director of the new Tarzan film that Margot Robbie’s Jane was a modern woman, so he asked her to punch actor Alexander Skarsgard in a sex scene.

The Aussie star takes on the role of Jane in the early 20th century tale of a man raised by apes in the African jungle. She was the perfect fit for the role, according to director David Yates. “If you enter the jungle with anybody, you want to go with Margot Robbie,” Yates said. “She’s practical, she’s smart and she’s resourceful. She can take care of herself.”

The 49-year-old actress certainly made a grand entrance when she signed up to the social networking sites yesterday by posting a topless shot for all to see.

Taking to her new accounts, the brunette beauty uploaded the elegant photo, which sees her walking through a picturesque forest with no clothes on, alongside the caption: “Hi everyone. Welcome! Today is a very exciting day for me ... I’m looking forward to sharing our world through images that reflect my emotions and perceptions. I am in awe of photography and its ability to capture and reflect this extraordinary world that we live in. I’m excited to share with you my love of nature, the arts and fashion in the hopes that the images will inspire and bring you joy.”

■ SYNLAIT MILK

Profit jumps on A2 formula sales

Synlait is expecting an almost four-fold increase in canned infant formula sales for the full year compared to the 2015 financial year. achieve a premium above the base milk price which is forecast at $4.20 per kilogram of milksolids for the 2015/16 season.

Synlait doesn’t reveal what the individual premiums are apart from its Lead in Pride best practice dairy farming programme

which attracts a premium ranging from 6 cents to 12 cents kg/MS. The half-year results show value-add milk premiums were $2.22 million compared to $723,000 a year ago. The company is the exclusive manufacturer of a2 Platinum formula, sourced from herds

that only produce a2 type betacasein protein.

A2 Milk accounted for just under half the premium payments in the first half.

The big rise in premiums for the full year is based on expected higher a2 Milk sales and the introduction of Grass Fed infant formula.

Synlait’s partnership with USbased Munchkin Inc to exclusively produce Grass Fed infant formula is expected to be launched in New Zealand and Australia in May. The first trial batches have been manufactured for clinical studies in the US, and are now awaiting regulatory approval.

“While Munchkin’s Grass Fed formula is some years behind a2 Platinum infant formula, it is following a similar model,” the company said.

Synlait has secured 25 farmers to supply the Grass Fed milk which will be sold into the US and China and it has established a Grass Fed standard to ensure cows are not fed any concentrated supplementary feeds such as

levels of volatility as the resource heavy index is buffeted by the wild swings in commodity prices.

The ASX200 has also had to contend with volatility within the banking sector after ANZ Bank increased its bad debt provisions, stemming from resource related companies under pressure from falling commodity prices.

Investors have sold down, not just ANZ but its peer group as well, making the financial sector the worst performer for the week and year to date on the Australian market.

One of the most talked about events of the week has been Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen’s speech to the Economic Club of New York. In the lead up to the speech investors sat on their hands somewhat, unsure of what the commentary might be.

Following the Fed meeting earlier this month, when the committee adopted a new path for rate hikes, the US dollar fell back somewhat. However, this was partially reversed after some hawkish comments from other committee members last week.

Yellen was sufficiently dovish, living up to her reputation, and her buzz word was caution. She emphasised that the committee will need to exercise caution

Short weeks – shortage of data his is the second of two short weeks in a row for markets that have both been reasonably slow in terms of economic data.

It is time to look at how markets have performed for the month. However, as well as the year to date as the first quarter draws to a close.

The New Zealand market has been a standout performer for the year, recovering from January losses and surpassing previous highs.

It is important to keep in mind when talking about the NZX50 that it is a gross index which means that it includes dividends paid as well as capital movements. Most other global indices are capital indexes which measure only share price movements.

The NZX50 has finished the month up close to 8 per cent, and is now more than 6 per cent higher for the year to date. The month has been characterised by slow steady gains, with only two of the 21 trading days this month have seen declines.

Also of note, only one day this month has seen a movement of larger than 1 per cent. EBOS is the top performer for the year to date, advancing more than 25 per cent. Sky TV has been the top performing stock for the month.

Of the 50 components on the NZX, only seven are in negative territory for March.

The ASX200 has had quite a different time and although is in positive territory for the month, up more than 4 per cent, is still underwater for the year to date.

The launch of Grass Fed is expected to help the dairy processor reduce its exposure to China, which accounted for 8 per cent of sales revenue in its first half. The big increase was in New Zealand which rose to 35 per cent of the total from 13 per cent a year ago, with that number including sales to a2 Milk which subsequently exports overseas.

For the second year running, Synlait is advancing a higher proportion of its final milk price than normal to support farmers though a difficult period of cash flow with low global dairy prices.

The lower milk price has impacted milk production with its farmer suppliers reducing costs, and production for the 2016 financial year is expected to be down 5 per cent on last year.

Synlait said it had sufficient milk supply secured to meet forecast growth of nutritional sales in the next financial year.

Synlait has forecast profitability is on track to be a record this financial year.

Synlait Milk, the South Island dairy processor, expects premium payments to its farmer suppliers to double this financial year to $6 million, mainly on the back of a boom in canned infant formula sales.

The company reported firsthalf underlying net profit of $12.3 million for the six months to January compared to $400,000 a year ago with a greater push to value add through increased infant formula sales, particularly to specialty milk marketer a2 Milk.

Synlait shares rose 3.3 per cent to $3.15, the highest level this year.

Nutritional sales for the first half were 7498 MT, a 155 per cent increase on a year ago and accounting for 16 per cent of total sales. Ingredients were steady at 38,858 MT, down 2 per cent on the same period in 2015.

Synlait said it is expecting an almost four-fold increase in canned infant formula sales for the full year compared to the 2015 financial year.

Add P testing to home purchase costs Sue Newman

N

ot too long ago all a new tenant or new home owner had to worry about was whether the roof over their head was water-tight; today there’s a new and frightening worry in the housing game.

Call it P or call it methamphetamine, it’s a dangerous substance, not only to those who use it as a life perception altering drug, but potentially to anyone who is in the property market – owner or renter.

It’s appalling that we can no longer be assured a property we buy is safe to inhabit. The use of P, it seems, is so widespread that having a property tested for contamination is now almost another essential cost that needs to be added as a pre-rental or pre-purchase check.

Housing New Zealand has been testing its properties for some time and it’s taking a tough line on offenders. It does the job, they pay the costs. But when it comes to private owners or renters, who should pay the cost of ensuring a property is clean and safe to occupy?

With a rental, it’s clearer, the responsibility should lie with the landlord, but when it’s buyers and sellers, it’s less clear.

Currently the cost of obtaining a property report, a LIM or a builder’s report lies with the purchaser, although the confident or well-organised seller may provide a LIM as part of the deal, but will the same deal apply to P testing?

That this testing should even be considered as part of a home deal is a sad indictment on our society, but it’s an unpleasant fact we now have to deal with. And it’s made worse because P users could be anyone. They could be your next-door neighbours. They don’t just live in run-down rentals in a run-down part of town.

And for home buyers that creates a conundrum. Do they chance it that the nice couple they’ve bought their home from aren’t druggies or do they think the worst, take the precautions, cough up the cash and have their prospective purchase tested?

It’s now so prevalent, businesses are growing up around P testing and for my money I wouldn’t be taking a chance I’d be putting some cash their way for peace of mind.

Why be a principal?

O

ur local intermediate school is looking for a new principal and the process is taking time.

That’s fine and not unexpected.

At the heart of this is the appointment of a person who will take on the challenge of leading and managing a vibrant school for children facing some major changes in their lives.

It’s not an easy career being a principal and though at times it can be lonely being between parents, students, teachers and a board of trustees, I wouldn’t swap it.

In fact I sometimes wonder why I was given the privilege of leading a school.

I’m not passionate about paperwork, I can become bored into silence during meetings and often would rather be having a laugh with the children in the school. That’s probably because I refuse to grow up in certain situations.

If I was to introduce you to some of my former teachers and teachers college lecturers they would probably be bemused that I had chosen being a principal as my career.

See, just between you and me, I was naughty on more than one occasion at school.

I know that might come as a shock to all two and half of you who

read this column, but there were times I didn’t follow the rules.

I met a number of school principals in my early years, thanks partially due to my disability (my mum’s words) for entertaining classes with stories of absurdity.

The way I figured it, the more entertaining and fun school was for me and my

friends, the easier it was to ignore the fact I had school work to do.

I can tell you absolutely and without flinching this has largely changed now that I am in the principal’s chair. No, actually this has not changed at all, I just find the opportunities to showcase my ability for storytelling is limited to advisers from the ministry, auditors and telemarketers.

Long ago rubbish bags were made out of paper and often when wet would be easy to split open.

One morning I was greeted by the principal before I had even put my bike away. It seems my father had phoned him to let him know that on the way to school I had decided to kick over every rubbish bag on my side of the road.

This was a great game because if you kicked one hard enough, it would split open and spew forth its contents on Mrs Waddlefluff’s lawn.

I didn’t like Mrs Waddlefluff because she always complained about my brothers and I kicking a rugby ball into her garden.

So this principal reminded me with what I would call “immediate and effective consequences” that my actions were undesirable. My father, thinking I was a slow learner, reminded me again when I got home.

I met another one of my principals after being sent from the room during religious instruction.

It seems it was rude to talk during the prayer at the start. I

couldn’t figure out why because being a church boy (seriously, twice a Sunday for 18 years) I knew God was omnipresent and he could still hear the prayer, while listening to me tell Samantha ‘Gaptooth’ Galbraith a hilarious story involving my sister and me farting while she was trying to smooch her boyfriend.

This principal was very decisive and took action immediately. It seems by strapping the hand the child’s brain learns not to talk when God needs to listen. Maybe he was remembering the words of 2 Timothy 2:16: But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.

Could my irreverent babble really create a class of ungodly, sister-mocking, fart-producing nine-year-olds?

I digress – the career of a principal is deeply rewarding, demanding, stressful, eventful and ultimately highly engaging when you work with the complexity of a child’s developmental needs.

Our intermediate will take the time it needs to put the best person into such an influential position.

The Methven Golf Club will host the National over 40s Women’s Tournament today, tomorrow and Sunday.

Five South Island teams, including Canterbury and Aorangi, along with nine North Island teams will compete in one round today, two tomorrow and one round on Sunday.

The Aorangi team will consist of Catherine Knight, Angela Mowbray, Ginny Bolderstson and Jenny Kellahan.

Methven Golf co-ordinator Barry Wackwitz said he is expecting a high

level of competition, while the course and town have already impressed the visiting ladies.

“It gives us a fantastic opportunity to show off our course and how nice Methven is,” he said.

“I’ve spoken to some of the ladies today and they’ve been very impressed by how nice and friendly the town is.”

The tournament will tee off at 8.30am this morning.

Carrington leading strong team to Rio Lisa Carrington headlines a six-strong canoe sprint team to compete at Rio 2016, with the defending gold medallist selected alongside five paddlers set to make their Olympics debut.

Carrington, a multiple world

champion and winner of the K1 200m at the London Games, will be joined for the first time by a women’s K4 boat and by K1 1000m paddler Marty McDowell.

While McDowell is the sole

male selected, the inclusion of Jaimee Lovett, Caitlin Ryan, Aimee Fisher and Kayla Imrie in the K4 more than doubles the number of New Zealand females competing at that level.

The final senior clash of the afternoon will pit Hampstead Hotel Ashburton B against Ash Col Y10B at 4pm.

Meanwhile, the senior reserves division is also set to offer some exciting encounters. Methven Shearmac will meet Allenton B at 2pm and Celtic C will face off against Hampstead Hotties at 3pm.

Calling the doctor . . .

By JameS Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury rugby’s coaches will participate in a 90 minute education and demonstration session with All Blacks scrum guru Mike Cron at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Monday evening.

The All Blacks scrum and lineout coach, also known as the ‘scrum doctor,’ is recognised as one of, if not the finest, scrum coach in world rugby.

Mid Canterbury development officer Jason Ree said Cron has

made scrums safer and more powerful at all levels of the game, and is expecting the session to be highly beneficial to local elite coaches and players.

“It opens up a world of opportunities for our coaches,” said Ree. “Mike Cron will pass on different techniques that he has picked up from all around the world.

“He is at the forefront of innovation for lineouts and scrums.”

Cron will host the session from 6pm to 7.30pm.

Right - All Blacks scrum and lineout coach Mike Cron will host a session with Mid Canterbury coaches and elite players on Monday.

Highlanders side a tough nut to crack

By Steve HepBurn Intense competition for places is making Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph’s job difficult but it is not a problem he is complaining about.

The side to take on the Force tonight features a raft of changes from the one which convincingly disposed of the Rebels in Melbourne last Saturday night.

Joseph admitted the battle to get into the starting side was tough and players were making the most of the time they got on the park. ‘‘We have got great competition, particularly in our pack, in the lock department and the loose forwards,’’ he said. ‘‘Each week we are looking to create some competition and give guys the opportunity to play and show they can foot it.

“And they are doing that and getting better each week as well.

“It is a pleasing sign.’’

Joseph said with just two players injured - winger Waisake

Naholo (leg) and midfielder Sio Tomkinson (ankle) - as opposed to 11 a couple of weeks ago, there were plenty of options when it came to selecting a team.

The changes start in the loose forwards, where out go Luke Whitelock and co-captain Shane Christie, as Elliot Dixon and Dan Pryor come into the starting lineup.

Alex Ainley and Tom Franklin will start at lock in place of Joe Wheeler and Mark Reddish.

Liam Coltman starts ahead of Ash Dixon in the hooking role.

In the backs, Matt Faddes is over his hamstring injury and replaces Jack Wilson, while halfback Fumiaki Tanaka comes on to the bench, as he is over a calf injury.

Joseph said he was proud of the way Elliot Dixon was performing again this season. ‘‘I’m confident he will be an All Black one day, and hopefully it will be this year. ‘‘In the lineout he is attacking the ball well and is able to shut

losses and taking the franchise elsewhere.

But Joseph is not taking the Force lightly. ‘‘My thinking is they are not an easy-beat. ‘They have some quality loose forwards and are potent at the breakdown, really good at slowing the game down. We have got to really get our detail right.’’

Talk to us

HIGHLANDERS

Elliot Dixon down the front of the lineout. He is one of our best defenders. ‘‘His ability to get up in the air and contest the ball was a highlight for me, as he has worked so hard on that. ‘‘I think he has got the full package but it is what other blokes think.’’

The Force is coming off a hiding from the Chiefs in Hamilton last week and has just the one win so far, against the Reds.

The team is in disarray off the field, with talk of big financial

Refs in spotlight Rugby referees rarely get a great rap.

If they stuff up, the world dumps on them as English whistler Wayne Barnes discovered after the All Blacks defeat in the 2007 RWC quarterfinal.

So World Rugby has puffed out its chest to tell us Welsh referee Nigel Owens will break Jonathan Kaplan’s world record when he controls his 71st test in Suva.

Let’s applaud any move to raise rugby’s profile in the islands. The All Blacks historic visit to Samoa last year was a social and public relations success.

Now WR will dispatch the 44-year-old Owens to the National Stadium for the first time in his career when Fiji host Tonga on June 11.

On the same day at Eden Park, Barnes will control the first of three All Blacks tests against Advice • Trust • Care Wales.

Methven confident of first win

PHARMACY

Round two of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition will kick off tomorrow as Methven host Rolleston, Hampstead entertain Glenmark, Southern welcome Ashley and Rakaia lock horns with Celtic in an all-Mid Canterbury affair.

Methven will be out to record their first win after losing 20-13 to West Melton in their opening tie of the season.

Methven became the first Mid Canterbury side to be crowned Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition champions last year, but have retained just four players in prop Simon Fleetwood, first five Davie Maw, lock Sam Grant and number 8 Jeremy Lewthwaite from the 2015 campaign.

Andy Pearson’s side will fancy themselves tomorrow, however, with Rolleston getting off to a dismal start in a 53-3 drubbing at the hands of Southbridge in their first match of the season.

Celtic were off to a flying start against Southern on Good Friday.

Shane Enright’s side were 14-0 ahead within five minutes thanks to tries from skipper Danny Hurley and centre Christian Vainerere.

Southern did force themselves back in to the contest but lacked an end product as the clash ended 32-15 to the men in green.

Hampstead began with a loss against a well-organised Lincoln outfit last Thursday.

Lincoln showed their intent with a try early on but Hampstead fired back with a try from Sonny Hefa, which was duly converted by Mariota Samoa for a 19-7 score at half time.

In the second half, Hampstead had plenty of possession but couldn’t capitalise, and Lincoln were convincing in a deserved 2610 win.

Rakaia kicked off their season with a win, the Watters Cup holders persevered in greasy conditions to topple Darfield 10-3 after a scoreless first half, but will have their work cut out against Celtic tomorrow.

Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition week two fixtures: Methven v Rolleston, Waihora v Darfield, Saracens v Lincoln, Ohoka v Hornby, Southbridge v West Melton, Prebbleton v Oxford (played last night), Hampstead v Glenmark, Southern v Ashley, Kaiapoi v Burn/Duns/Irwell, Rakaia v Celtic.

Meanwhile the local Senior B teams will begin their quest for the Michael Duff Memorial Trophy.

Southern will look to defend their title and begin their campiagn with a repeat of last year’s final against Methven, where they ran out 12-3 winners.

Michael Duff Memorial Trophy Competition week one fixtures: Collegiate v Allenton, Hampstead v Mt Somers, Rakaia v Celtic, Southern v Methven.

Black Caps crash out

Twitterites praising England

By amlan ChakraBorty

By Wynne Gray

England’s players are reaping the benefits of being given a licence to thrill by coach Trevor Bayliss, said Jason Roy following the World Twenty20 semi-final victory by seven wickets against New Zealand yesterday.

After the bowlers restricted the Kiwis to a below-par 153 for eight, Roy’s belligerent 78 helped the 2010 champions romp home with 17 balls to spare.

England’s new-found aggression under the guidance of former NSW coach Bayliss was evident in the way Eoin Morgan’s side began and ended their run chase at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.

Opening batsman Roy set the tone with four boundaries in the first over from Corey Anderson before Jos Buttler (32 not out) sealed the win in style, hitting a six off spinner Mitchell Santner.

“That’s the way a lot of us play,” man of the match Roy told the presentation ceremony.

“The whole team has got that kind of licence, that kind of opportunity to go out there and do what they want and be free with their skills.

“When you get off to a good start ... there’s no reason why you shouldn’t just keep going.

“I did keep going and got a bit of luck,” added the 25-year-old after compiling a career-best score in a T20 international.

It was a good all-round display

by England, who now meet hosts India or West Indies in Sunday’s final, but Roy refused to call it a perfect performance.

“Obviously there are a few bits we need to work on,” he said.

“We had to claw our way back after they made a good start, credit to the boys for dragging us back.”

Meanwhile New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson said his team were 20 to 25 runs short after they slipped to yesterday’s seven-wicket defeat.

The Kiwis went into the match as favourites, as the only remaining unbeaten team in the tournament.

England, by contrast, were defeated by West Indies in their opening game before securing wins over South Africa, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

Colin Munro (46) gave New

“Pietersen who?”

“NZ were like a kid who studies from day one and falls asleep on exam night and fails the final.”

The Twitter offerings were kind to England and cutting for New Zealand after the T20 semi-finals yesterday in Delhi.

Before the match former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote the clash was not about being gung-ho and trying to smash New Zealand.

“Beat them with brains not brawn,” he wrote.

Towards the finish his tweet read: “No runs for @Eoin16 .. But don’t underestimate how brave his decision was to Bowl first ..

And his cool and calculated tactics .. #GreatJob Vaughan lauded England’s cricket intelligence, the lengths they bowled, Morgan’s shrewd field placings, the slightly sticky pitch and the way England backed themselves.

“Instead of making the decisions required to beat New Zealand, they simply decided to beat New Zealand and let the execution take care of itself.”

Neutral Australian correspondent Jonathan Liew wrote: English teams are not supposed to play like this.

“They are certainly not supposed to win like this.

“Yet the assurance and serenity with which England went about their business suggested they knew how things were going to pan out all along.

“They were just waiting for the rest of us to catch up.”

Zealand a strong start, powering them to 1-89 at the halfway stage before Eoin Morgan’s side took control with some smart catching and tight bowling.

New Zealand managed only 64 runs in the final 10 overs and 20 from the last four sent down by Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes.

“We got off to a good start but

we were 20-25 short,” Williamson told reporters.

“England bowled really well in that death period which made life very difficult.

“Unfortunately we were not able to connect as well as we’d have liked. It certainly was not through a lack of trying.”

For a team packed with big-hit-

ters, New Zealand could not press hard enough on the accelerator pedal as England claimed regular wickets.

“We were 130 for three (in the 16th over) which certainly is a very good platform in any match if you’re playing T20 cricket and we were not able to capitalise on it,” added Williamson. - Reuters

Eion Morgan: No runs on the board but top captaincy.

Semi-final knockout curse continues for New Zealand By tim WiGmore No country has reached more than New Zealand’s nine semifinals across the World Cup and World Twenty20.

Yet only once, when Grant Elliott smeared Dale Steyn for six at Eden Park, have New Zealand been victorious in a semi-final.

This was among New Zealand’s most dispiriting defeats.

They arrived in Delhi as the tournament’s outstanding team, the only side to win all four Super 10 matches.

They leave Delhi after England chased down 154 with 17 balls remaining: by T20 standards, this was a thumping.

New Zealand’s start gave no hint of the mayhem that was to come; New Zealand reached 89-1 off 10 overs.

While Kane Williamson accumulated in typically undemonstrative style, Colin Munro played his most substantive innings of the tournament.

There was a trademark switch hit, thrashing Adil Rashid over point, and a huge six over long off off Ben Stokes.

Yet after Williamson was dismissed attempting to attack Moeen Ali’s spin, New Zealand’s

middle order were exposed.

Here it became clear what the form of Martin Guptil had disguised: a middle order that, while resourceful enough, was a batsman-lite on flatter wickets.

As Roy plundered his way to a 44-ball 78, there was a certain irony.

England have been very open about how their new buccaneering style in limited overs cricket

derives much inspiration from New Zealand, who mauled them at the Cake Tin in the World Cup last year.

It was this wish to emulate Brendon McCullum’s side that led to Roy’s ODI call-up for the series with the Kiwis last year.

He struggled then, being dismissed by Boult for a golden duck on debut, but here England’s apprentices triumphed.

1/4 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The one who makes you feel you must perform to earn love is not really giving love at all; that person is rewarding you for fulfilling a need, which is about utility not love.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You would prefer to be adored by the one you adore. Who wouldn’t? This would make life candy-sweet indeed. However, it should also be noted that such a dynamic is not in any way necessary to your happiness.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s not like you to overlook the crucial role pleasure plays in life, and yet lately you’ve denied things that please you. Was the reason for that denial really good enough?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your secret is safe with you – and that’s about it today. Even your best friend can’t be totally trusted with sensitive information. If you write it in your diary, use a code.

Everyone is interested in you these days!

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The answer to one problem is the seed of another. For this reason, refrain from solving everything right away. It’s a good time to think it over or just plain stall for a better time.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Someone has given time, effort and money in hopes that you would advance along certain lines. You’ve bettered your position, but you have a way to go. Keep going.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Before you put your money on the best, consider that anyone can have a good day. Sometimes the worst horse takes the cup. Such an event will restore and rock your faith.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You probably won’t stay accountable to your own set of rules. It’s not weakness. There’s just too much going on for you now. If you need to keep the rule, get more people involved in it: They’ll hold you accountable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be there for the person who is hurting. It’s likely you could pick up some residual emotional pain if you’re not careful, so be sure to protect yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): What you’re striving for will be a lot of trouble. Well, that’s precisely what you like about the situation. It’s riddled with the challenges that make you better.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You feel driven to put your ideas in front of a crowd even though the idea of doing this gives you emotional tremors. This is just what is making someone fall in love with you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When irritated, consider that such a reaction is usually as disturbing an energy as the original thing that caused it. An unwanted situation will be dissolved with a calm approach.

Wakanui sides up for new season

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGAURDIAN.CO.NZ

The Mid-South Canterbury senior men’s hockey season will begin tomorrow with Wakanui Black and Wakanui Blue in action in Timaru.

In a replay of last year’s final, Wakanui Black will lock horns with Tainui.

Black’s dominance of the division continued with a fifth successive Walker and Hall Shield triumph following a 5-2 victory

over Tainui in the 2015 final, but a reshuffle of personnel has left Mitchell Moore’s team facing a hefty challenge this season.

Moore will skipper the Black team after crossing over from Blue, following a number of departures, but stalwarts Adam Wilson and Daniel Lovett will return to the fray.

“They (Wakanui Black) were short on players so we had to do a bit of a swap around.

“It’s a fresh start, a totally new team really,” he said.

The 31-year-old said he expects Tainui to play with plenty of flair and insisted his side must be mindful of the Oamaru team’s ability on the counter-attack.

“I think we’ll go okay but they’ve got real good defence and have runaway goals and that’s how they win,” he said.

In contrast, Tainui have retained all but one from last year’s team.

Left wing Sam Bond will not be returning, but former Waitaki Boys’ and North Otago right half Caleb Ludemann and forward Tom Wouters will bolster Tainui’s ranks.

In the afternoon’s other fixture, Wakanui Blue will take on Cambridge. Blue will be skippered by Sam Moore, who is expecting a tough outing against a side that boasts former Black Stick drag flick specialist Hayden Shaw.

“They were pretty strong at the

end of last season and I’m pretty sure Hayden Shaw is still playing for them. He was pretty integral to their make-up last year,” he said.

The 29-year-old said he was hoping his new-look team would gel in the coming weeks and has been pleased with recent training sessions.

“Once we’ve had a couple of games under our belt we can make changes and move people around accordingly,” he said.
