THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Builders, council flat out

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Consents for new homes in the Ashburton District are being issued at the rate of almost five a week.

And just as quickly new home lots in new subdivisions are coming on stream, pumping the building industry up to a new level of busyness.

In May, the Ashburton District Council issued 21 consents valued at $6.736 million for 20 new homes and one set of flats.

For the year to May 30 consent numbers for new dwellings of all types hit 232 with a total value of $76 million.

This included 228 houses and flats, three houses with flats attached and one resthome.

For the year, across all consent categories, 1178 were issued with a total value of $154.234 million.

At 150, May’s consent numbers were the highest for the past 12 months.

Ashburton District Council senior planner Ian Hyde, said the district appeared to be well served in terms of house lot options.

“We’ve got a lot of subdivisions on board in various stages. It also seems we’re getting a lot of older subdivisions now being enacted.

“These may have been consented in 2008 or 2009 when the market was less buoyant and were put on hold; the owners are now looking for action on them,” he said.

Once a consent is granted, a developer has five years to begin work on the subdivision. Back in 2008 the sec-

tion market was described as ‘saturated’ when 100 lots were on the market.

Across the district there are about 300 sections currently available.

Mr Hyde credits work done in the Ashburton District plan in 2005 where areas for future development were tagged through rezoning, for the good availability of land for subdivisions today.

“We have significant land for future development as well; we’re well set up for the next 10 years.”

There was also a steady stream of consents for pockets of empty sections in developed parts of town and through in-fill housing, Mr Hyde said.

Property Brokers consultant Clark McLeod believes the section market is at an historical high in terms of sales.

“The key with subdivisions at the moment is there are sections available for a wide market. We have smaller sections and larger ones with a range of prices as well. We haven’t had this availability before,” he said.

Several new subdivisions have opened up this year, including Alton Place and Turton Green, that added to existing lots in Braebrook, Lochlea, Carters Estate, Lake Hood and in several parts of Tinwald.

Ashburton’s section prices range from the low $100,000 up to almost $500,000.

A new subdivision of 14 sections is planned for the Manse Street area, but because of its proximity to the Ashburton River Stopbank, a resource consent is required before this can be signed off.

Prince Harry has joked about kissing female admirers in Chile – after another request left him with lipstick on his face. Asking the Queen’s grandson for a peck on the cheek has proved a popular pastime for women of all ages, who have become smitten with their royal visitor during his tour of the South American country.

And when Harry visited a day centre for children with mental and physical disabilities in Santiago, he proved just as irresistible to the youngsters. After kissing one admirer, the prince wiped the lipstick off his face and joked: “I’ve kissed so many girls, I don’t know who it belongs to – today.”

The comic told Alan Yentob he did not want to do the sketch. The comedy team’s Monty Python Live (mostly) will be on at South London’s O2 arena, starting from today. “The one thing I’m glad I won’t have to do is the silly walk sketch, which I never thought was as funny as everybody else did,” Cleese said. “And I pointed out to Terry Jones, I think it was his idea, the only reason it became so iconic was the brilliance of my performance because I never thought it was a very good sketch.”

Paul Simon to bring Sting Paul Simon is returning for his third visit to Auckland’s Vector Arena in six years and he’s bringing a musical mate – but no, it’s not Art Garfunkel. The American’s performing partner on the seven-date Australasian tour, which starts in Auckland on Saturday, January 30, will be Sting, the former frontman of the Police. While Simon, who turns 73 in October, and Sting, who will be 63 the same month, might not seem to have much musical common ground, reviews of early US dates on the On Stage Together tour have been glowing. The musicians play with a combo of the backing bands of each, and play separate sets as well as duets from their songbooks. Both share histories of being musical explorers – Simon most famously on his classic Graceland album, while Sting’s post-Police career has veered from jazz excursions to Hollywood theme songs to a lute album.

■ VANDALISM SPREE

Teen vandals come clean

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A group of Ashburton teenagers have confessed to causing thousands of dollars’ worth of damage in a vandalism spree on Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Paul Clark contacted the Guardian last month, hoping to locate the culprits who smashed windows in the former Tuarangi Home buildings, and caused damage to the interior.

In total 107 panes of glass were shattered, and damage was caused inside the buildings.

Yesterday, Mr Clark said six 14-year-olds had owned up to the crime.

They went to the property on Saturday (May 31), and used survey pegs from a nearby subdivision, fence posts and tyre rims to smash the windows.

They returned the following day and gained entry to two areas to cause significant damage to the interior.

“I asked them why they did it – and they said they were bored – crikey dick!”

While quotes to repair the damage are not in yet, it was likely to cost thousands of dollars.

Paul Clark is relieved the youngsters who smashed windows and caused other damage to his property have fronted up.

Mr Clark said the teenagers’ parents had agreed to foot the bill.

He had already received letters of apology, and the young offenders and their parents have

SEN group takes aim at religious studies in school myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury schools are in the crosshairs of a group opposed to religious instruction in the classroom.

The district is home to one of the highest rates of basic bible studies with just five out of the 21 primary and intermediate schools no longer holding the classes, compared with a national participation rate of 40 per cent in New Zealand’s state schools.

The high Mid Canterbury rate has caught the attention of the Secular Education Network (SEN), which believes schools should be “even handed” and teach a range of religions, after the organisation’s views were recently criticised

by South Canterbury schools.

SEN South Island area coordinator Tanya Jacob said there were no immediate plans to approach Mid Canterbury schools, and no parents had contacted her with concerns,

but the high participation rate made it “a tempting case”.

She said the organisation was taking its case to the Human Rights Commission and had other projects under way, but she said she would be looking at Mid Canterbury schools in the future.

“Rural schools pose a particularly difficult problem for families who are being discriminated against as there is generally nowhere else to go.

Communities are very closeknit and advocating for the rights of your child and family often comes at a great cost so it is rare for people to stand up to it.”

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy said religious education was largely values based, and its “not an indoctrination” of Christianity.

Most local schools allow 30 minute bible study classes each week, the school “closing” for that period and giving parents the option to allow their chil-

to the kids, I just hope this will be a lesson for them,” Mr Clarksaid.

already been on the job, cleaning up the broken glass.

“The police have also spoken

dren to opt out.

Other schools may hold lessons at Easter and Christmas.

SEN co-ordinator Peter Harrison said the organisation was against religious instruction, not religious education which sees qualified teachers teaching a range of the world’s major religions.

“We don’t think one religion should be given special treatment, the idea that schools can decide that the likes of Islam or Christianity is to be taught isn’t really on, in the same way you can’t say what political party is right for the school, it’s not appropriate.”

Mr Harrison said instead of having to opt children out of religious instruction, parents should need to give “explicit consent” to have children involved.

Mid Canterbury religious education co-ordinator Gay Lee said there appeared to be little parent opposition to bible studies, and she was held to account by a curriculum.

Three calls to Mid Canty The Westpac Rescue Helicopter had a busy weekend in Mid Canterbury, being called outthree times.

Three people were airlifted from their stranded jetboat on the Rakaia River on Sunday night, following an airlift from Mt Hutt that day, and the transport of an injured motorcycle rider at Pendarves to Christchurch Hospital on Saturday.

The helicopter was called out to the Rakaia River at 8.37pm on Sunday.

The jetboat was stuck in the middle of the river on a shingle bank near Big Ben Station.

One male and two females were winched from the boat.

The helicopter earlier in the day had airlifted a woman from Mt Hutt with a leg injury to Christchurch Hospital.

On Saturday St John was alerted at 11.36am to the Pendarves accident, and sent an ambulance and the helicopter to the scene.

A man aged in his early 20s had fallen from a motorcycle on Buckleys Road.

He was flown to Christchurch Hospital emergency department with moderate injuries including possible head injuries.

Train chews up chipper Railway landscape contractors tried frantically to free their woodchipper from rail tracks before it was wiped out by a goods train just after noon yesterday.

The chipper, being used by Treescape NZ contractors, became stuck on the tracks near Lincoln Rd in Carterton during a pruning operation.

The contractors were moving the machine to tend to trees on the other side of the tracks when things went wrong, said

Carterton chief fire officer Wayne Robinson.

A JNL log train travelling south came around the bend when contractors realised it was either them or the chipper, he said.

The train did not knock the chipper aside, but kept smashing it forward on the tracks until it eventually lodged partly under the locomotive’s guard.

The machine was “pretty destroyed” while the train received superficial damage.

■ TINWALD TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Longer path towards lights

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Tinwald’s traffic light project has unwittingly become a guinea pig in the Government’s changed approach to major roading projects.

For more than a year the New Zealand Transport Agency has been working with the Ashburton District Council to find a solution to traffic issues along State Highway One in Tinwald.

While the council and Tinwald residents have been pushing for the installation of traffic lights, NZTA has adopted a new, measured approach to all state highway projects.

Council operations man-

ager Neil McCann said that approach will see the project move through a seven step process before a business case can be prepared and the project itself presented to funders.

“They are committed to the project and they do want it to proceed but they’re saying now that if you want NZTA money then there is a long process involved,” Mr McCann said.

Initially the project was based around traffic signals and the debate centred around the location and design detail of those signals.

Now its title has changed to Tinwald Corridor Project to

ensure all parties keep an open mind to options other than traffic lights, he said.

The council and NZTA held a workshop on the project six months ago and Mr McCann met with representatives last month to discuss progress.

“The agency is looking to move the programme to the business case phase that identifies alternatives and options and this will take six months to complete,” he said.

The next step will involve the collection of cyclist and pedestrian data and towards identifying a preferred programme of work.

More than 22,000 vehicles use the highway through Tin-

wald each day. About 13 per cent of this traffic is heavy vehicles.

Those traffic volumes and increased development in the area were creating issues for right turning traffic and for cyclists and pedestrians crossing the highway.

As NZTA works with the council to find solutions, it plans to hold workshops where the community can have input into the work programme.

The earliest any capital works can be undertaken would be as part of the 201518 National Land Transport Programme and they will then need to be prioritised on a national basis.

In brief Police briefs • Ashburton police arrested a man and charged him with male assaults female at a residential address in the town early yesterday. He was to appear in court later in the day.

• Sunday 10.14pm a male driver on East Street was processed for drink driving, and returned a level of 683 micrograms per litre of breath.

• A lap-top and PlayStation 3 was stolen in a burglary, reported Saturday afternoon, from an address in Allens Road.

• A burglary was reported in the early hours of Sunday morning from a Wellington Street address.

A four-wheel motorbike, wet suit, fishing rods and chainsaw was taken.

• A sub-woofer was stolen from a car parked in East Street, overnight Saturday.

• Saturday night at 10.30pm police attended a domestic.

• Overnight Friday a vehicle was broken into on Willow Street, a GPS and cash was taken.

• A builder’s yard in Ashburton was broken into, but it was not evident whether anything was taken. The burglary was reported on Friday.

Dog registrations

Even though negotiations for a solution to Tinwald’s traffic woes have been under way for some time, a new measured seven step approach to all state highway projects will now have to worked through.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT’S ROADS FUNDING

Rural roads may lose out in reclassification

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The reclassification of New Zealand’s roads could see the maintenance of some rural roads in the Ashburton District downgraded.

While the district won in the rejig of the funding assistance rate (FAR) from the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), moving from 47 per cent to 53 per cent, the acid test would come when the country’s roading classification was completed, mayor Angus McKay said.

“This could see some of our roads reclassified. Nationally we have good roads according to NZTA – I don’t say that.

“This could mean that we have to make some decisions with people who live on certain

“

The data has weighed in our favour this time, but classification is the key to how that higher rate translates into actual work

roads on the future maintenance of those roads,” he said.

The roads that were likely to have a low classification and therefore be in danger of having their maintenance trimmed, could be those along which just one or two people lived.

Population, however, might not tell the whole story, Mr McKay said.

“There’s the argument that

some people at the end of a road could be the very people who have a lot of produce moved out.”

Over the past four years the council had compiled a huge amount of data and had worked hard to convince the NZTA that the district’s roads were under pressure from heavy traffic movements and that the FAR rate needed to be increased, he said.

“The data has weighed in our favour this time, but classification is the key to how that higher rate translates into actual work and we’re still awaiting our classification.”

Ashburton’s increased FAR rate has come at the expense of some other local authorities where rates have dropped.

The increased FAR rate might have been a win for the district, but it had missed out on the Government’s latest roads funding hand-out, a $212 million injection from asset sales.

Mr McKay believes the funds were allocated around accident data and while some roads in the Ashburton District had a poor accident record they may not have rated on the national scale, he said.

Dog owners have exactly 31 days to make sure their dogs are legal residents of the Ashburton District.

Dog registrations start today and this year the Ashburton District Council is encouraging residents to take the fast track to making their dog legal by completing registrations on-line. Dog control officer Andrea McMurray said the system is as simple as entering your dog’s number and making a payment. “Your dog tags will be sent to you by mail within 5 to 10 working days,” she said.

New dog registrations or any changes to existing registrations, however, must be completed at the council’s Baring Square office.

“To avoid delays, please bring all the documents required with you such as a neutering certificate and microchip certificate,” Ms McMurray said. Owners who fail to re-register their dogs by the end of July face penalty fees on top of their registration fees. Dog owners must notify the council if a dog has died.

Tougher rates rules The rules around having a penalty fee cancelled for late payments of rates have got a whole lot tougher for Ashburton District ratepayers.

If you miss a rates payment and find yourself facing a late payment penalty, you can now only apply for this to be waived once every five years. Previously the waiver could be requested on one instalment a year. While the frequency of the waiver has changed, the reasons for it being granted have not. In the Rates Remission Policy signed off by the council on Thursday, remission of penalties may only be made when late payment has been due to a significant family disruption such as death, illness or accident or to a genuine mistake. Application for a remission must be made in writing with evidential documents attached. The council may also require the applicant to make a statutory declaration.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

■ METHVEN COMMUNITY BOARD

Man found guilty of sex crimes

Doggy doings out of control

A 22-year-old Ashburton man has been found guilty of sex charges involving a young person.

At an earlier court hearing Tikitaunga Tuakeu admitted a charge of indecent assault but denied charges of sexual connection with a girl aged 15 and performing an indecent act, electing trial by judge alone.

Yesterday he appeared before Judge Joanna Maze, represented by John Black and supported by an interpreter who translated proceedings into Cook Island Maori, which is Tuakeu’s first language.

The court was told Tuakeu and the complainant met after exchanging text messages in early September last year.

At the time he was 21 and she was 15.

About a week later they met again when, according to the complainant’s evidence, “things got a lot more physical”. She admitted inviting Tuakeu to touch her breasts and genitals, and said digital penetration occurred.

Initially she denied knowing the defendant’s age until after their first meeting, but under cross examination Mr Black established this was not the case.

In an evidential video played to the court Tuakeu admitted touching the complainant under her clothing, but denied digital penetration. He also denied touching her breast.

Judge Maze said the complainant’s evidence was credible and reliable.

“She very clearly described events which it seems she now regrets. She concedes they occurred with her consent and understanding, and at crucial points she instigated events.”

However, Judge Maze pointed out consent was irrelevant in the matter of unlawful connection.

Later in proceedings it was established both parties were aware of each other’s age, and that their actions were against the law.

Their relationship was discovered when family members noticed a love bite on the complainant’s neck, and her mother warned both parties to stop seeing each other.

Judge Maze found the charges proved beyond reasonable doubt. Tuakeu was remanded on bail for sentencing on August 26.

Methven Community Board members are reminding residents to pick up after their dogs, and that they could be fined up to $5000 if they don’t.

At their six-weekly meeting this week, members discussed the issue of dog poo being left on lawns and footpaths.

Chairperson Liz McMillan said she had herself been a victim, and “had dog poo all over my lawn the other day”.

Another resident in town had pinned a sign to her front fence in an effort to remind owners she did not want their dogs defecating on her lawn.

Ms McMillan said there had been a lot of discussion about the issue, and she wondered if there perhaps needed to be special bins for owners to put dog poo in, or if the Ashburton District Council’s dog ranger should visit the town more often.

After discussion about the council’s by-law, Mrs McMillan and other members decided educating the town’s residents was the best way to deal with the problem.

Councillor Alan Totty sourced the council’s by-law via his tablet at the meeting, and read it out, explaining that provision 609 of the dog control by-law required dog owners to dispose of any

of their dogs’ faeces, which may be on any property other than their own, “in a hygienic manner”.

Commiting a breach of any of the provisions of the bylaw was liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $5000.

“That’s quite high,” Mrs McMillan said.

Wilson is serving 21 years for serious sexual offending. He was paroled to a house on Whanganui Prison grounds after serving 18 years, then recalled on

■ MT HUTT SKI AREA

Forecast holds little hope

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

This week’s weather forecast holds little hope of a major snowfall, says Mt Hutt Ski Area’s manager.

As much as James McKenzie might like to believe national media reports of heavy snow on the way, he is expecting just five to 10 centimetres of snow to fall on Wednesday.

“Anything we get this week will be fantastic,” Mr McKenzie said.

The ski area’s base yesterday measured just 15 to 30 centimetres, with only main trails opened. A successful opening weekend was followed by spells of rain and wind, but Mr McKenzie said the conditions had kept most skiers happy, as 80 per cent generally stuck to the main trails anyway.

The lean snow conditions are a stark contrast to this time last year when the ski area had re-opened after a 2.8 metre snowfall buried lift stations and caused avalanches.

This season Mt Hutt is one of just three ski areas open na-

In brief Ambulance calls St John Ashburton attended 97 call-outs last week; 37 urgent calls, 30 non urgent and 30 routine.

They travelled 3831km. Of the total calls, 86 were for medical reasons and 11 were for accidents.

St Andrew’s quiz night

The Mt Hutt skifield may be one of only three currently open but it is still hoping to get some serious snow.

tionwide, the others are Coronet Peak and Cardrona.

“We have had some amazing spells of snowmaking which have really saved our bacon.

Where we don’t have snowmaking there’s no skiing and riding at the moment,” Mr McKenzie said.

“We don’t want to be in this situation for the rest of the season,” he added.

Mr McKenzie was hoping the up to 10 centimetres forecast would instead be a good 15 centimetres or so.

Cold temperatures would accompany the change in weather this week, so it would enable long periods of snowmaking.

He said it was impossible to tell how the rest of the winter would go, due to the unreliability of long-range forecasting.

He understood one forecaster had predicted heavy snow around the time of the full moon last month, which had failed to eventuate.

“It’s impossible for anybody really to do long-range forecasting, the effects that make a difference between a skiff of snow and a reasonable amount of snow is so small,” Mr McKenzie said.

Quiz enthusiasts are encouraged to get a team together for the St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church annual quiz night at the end of the month. Teams can be made up of up to six people. It cost $5 a person. Church member Maureen Maginness encouraged people to get along for an evening of fun entertainment. People can register their team via the church office or with Mrs Maginness. The quiz evening will be at the Sinclair Centre, Park Street on July 25.

It starts at 7.30pm.

OUR VIEW

Which bribe is the best?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

N

ational Party plans to fast-track several regional transport projects – though none in Mid Canterbury – are too easily derided as an election-time bribe.

I say “too easily” because claims of pork-barrel politics are all too prevalent – predicable even – when opponents criticise the release of pre-election policy.

That’s not to say the National Party did not make the weekend’s announcement to sweeten its frankly overwhelming chances of being re-elected.

Of course it did. Why would a party announce anything in the run-up to an election, if not as an incentive for people to vote it on to the treasury benches.

For its part, the Labour Party has made announcements that, when compared to dusty roads, are targeted much more at reallife, family-next-door voters.

In January, it promised to give all families with a newborn and earning less than $150,000 a year a payment of $60 a week until the baby’s first birthday.

Its proponents said the policy was great news for low to middle income earners overlooked by tax cuts. The National Party called it an expensive bribe paid for with more tax and borrowing.

At the same time, some of us one-child families wondered whether our relatively modest incomes should be taxed to subsidise families that earned more than we did.

And so it was that the latest pledge was volleyed when the National Party made its not-sosexy roads announcement over the weekend.

National called it an opportunity to reinvest in key infrastructure: opponents called it a bribe funded by asset sales.

Of course, whether you think a pledge to help families or to lay roads is a bribe depends on your politics. It also depends on how convincing either side is in its argument.

Previous elections demonstrate it is a sorry fact that much of the debate about pre-election policy is reduced to emotive claims of bribery and inducement.

These are easy sound-bites for politicians. The challenge for voters is deciding what bribes are policies with which they can live after the election.

YOUR VIEW Pannetts Dairies I have always been disappointed that Willy Leferink and Hamish Davidson and partners, leaders of our Federated Farmers, made the decision to name their multimillion dollar indoor dairy farm Pannetts Dairy.

Why? Because their direct neighbours Chris and Amanda Pannett have nothing to do with this property and were never consulted.

For our farming leaders to show such little respect for their neighbours shows arrogance.

Willy, what would you think if I bought a property next to you and called it Leferink farm?

You’d think that I was a bit of a prat! Well, I’m afraid that is what a few locals think of

CRUMB

you. For a few thousand dollars you could put it right and call the farm Pannetts Road Dairies, which is what you should have done in the first place.

You might even earn some respect back.

Emma Hampton Clarification: In the letters in yesterday’s Guardian, Mr Leferink told us that the name was taken from Pannetts Road.

He said he discussed it with his neighbour “a long time ago”.

This was incorrectly published as a response from the editor.

Bridge vote I was also wondering about the validity of Darryl Nelson’s vote back in November when the proposed bridge was challenged.

by David Fletcher

If he had a conflict of interest to prevent him from voting in May, then surely that same conflict of interest should have prevented him from voting back in November.

It would be great if the Guardian could use some investigative journalism to find out who has made the anonymous complaint about Stuart Wilson.

There seems to be a pattern emerging. Neutralise the antibridge councillors in case the bridge is challenged again.

Ross Hawthorne Editor’s response: The complaint regarding an alleged conflict of interest is before the Office of the Attorney General (Ashburton Guardian, June 28). Further details have not been released.

s I prepare to step down Meat & Fibre chairperson, it is time to review the past three years because it is a pointer to where Federated Farmers is going.

We recently held the first New Zealand Goat conference where the whole industry was represented. Getting better organisation for the world’s most-consumed red meat is important; allied to the fact that goats are a tri-use animal for its meat, fibre and milk. Something sheep may increasingly become.

Health and safety remains a hot topic for farming and it is no secret that we have a high death rate. While no death is acceptable and accident statistics can be volatile, we are seeing a positive trend downwards for farm deaths since 2008.

There is a definite culture change from the “she’ll be right attitude” to taking this seriously.

On tertiary education, one of my many portfolios, the federation has worked with the Government on its Tertiary Qualifications Review to give our young people the best start and every opportunity to enter the primary sector. We’ve been able to influence what qualifications look like and tailoring these to deliver the skills our industries need.

In mental health, the When Life’s a Bitch campaign has seen enormous growth in awareness of farmer mental health. We launched this to tackle our terrible farmer suicide toll.

As a direct result Federated

Jeanette Maxwell

Farmers has formed the Farmer Mental Wellness Strategy Group alongside other industry stakeholders. Our campaign even prompted the Sir John Kirwan Depression.org website’s drive to reach out to the farming community.

It taught me a lot can be achieved by the simple act of communicating.

This is where we kicked off with Federated Farmers’ Meat Industry Options Paper at the beginning of this year. How do we turn conversation into positive action?

Following consultation on the paper, we now have a clear indication about what the industry could improve. We have a valuable industry, which could hit $8 billion if Government estimates are right.

That’s worth more than 35 Avatar movies, but our problem is getting more of that value inside our farm gates. The red meat side is performing well in relation to its fibre counterpart, which is yet to reach its full potential. That said we’re working on it too.

To see greater returns there needs to be better communication and understanding within our industry.

If you have been supplying the same company for the past

20 years and plan to continue doing so, you might consider yourself committed. The problem is that the company doesn’t know and that is where things can go pear-shaped. If we reverse this and a farmer doesn’t understand or care about the processor then they are unlikely to understand the value in committing, choosing instead, the spot market.

We know 80 per cent considered their meat company’s strategy to be important, but 43 per cent couldn’t describe it.

To get shifts in behaviour and to maximise sustainable profitability, we need to better understand and align the values of suppliers and company.

There appears to be a genuine desire to come together, with 84 per cent saying so.

There are a lot of ideas floating around about what route should be taken to reform the industry, but firstly, this breakdown in communication and alignment needs to be addressed.

Who better to address it than Federated Farmers? But our story is not all about protein.

We are also world leaders in producing sheep fibre and are the world’s third largest wool exporter, supplying 45 per cent of the global carpet wool. The Wool Levy Group, led by our very own Sandra Faulkner, is looking to reintroduce a wool levy to drive the value up from the $700m it is today.

The Wool Producers Referendum being organised for October aims to build the worth of wool.

Voting is the expression of commitment to our industry, no matter which box you tick.

Sheep farmers must make sure they are informed before the October referendum rolls around.

We also have that embryonic dairy sheep sector showing us how “business unusual” is our way ahead.

I now leave to take on the next step in both the red meat industry and wool industry reform.

In the meantime, I’m not going very far. I will still be chairing the NZ Agricultural Health and Safety Council, Primary ITO Industry Partnership Group, the Rural Communities Trust, and deputy chair of the Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa NZ, as well as remaining involved in the Farmer Mental Wellness Strategy Group and Wool Levy Group.

If you didn’t think that was enough to keep me busy, I’ll remain on the Sheep, Beef & Deer Industry partnership group, ensuring there is better industry training for the next generation.

We are all blessed to live in an awesome part of the world.

It has been an absolute privilege to have worked at its very heart and to share with you some of our exciting future now unfolding.

In brief Pakistan tackles rebels Pakistan launched a ground offensive against militant strongholds near the Afghan border after evacuating nearly half a million people from the tribal region, the army said. The ground offensive is the second phase of a long-awaited operation against militants in the North Waziristan tribal area, a lawless, mountainous stretch of land in northwest Pakistan. The US has long pushed for such an operation to go after militants that use the area as a safe haven from which to attack targets in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Embassy to re-open China said it will re-open its embassy in Somalia 23 years after evacuating its diplomats as the East African nation plunged into civil war. The decision came after Somalia established its first government and parliament in 21 years, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said. He said Beijing would send a delegation to Somalia. “Somalia has entered a new stage of its peace process,” Hong told reporters at a regular briefing. “That brings a new opportunity for the development of China-Somalia relations.” - AP

Heavy infighting near Iraq Heavy clashes were underway Monday between several Syrian rebel factions and an alQaeda breakaway group fighting for control of a border crossing with Iraq, opposition activists said, just hours after the jihadi group declared the establishment of a transnational Islamic caliphate.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighting between

rebel groups and rivals in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is concentrated in the town of Boukamal on the border between Syria and Iraq.

The jihadist group, which declared the establishment of an Islamic caliphate, controls much of northeastern Syria.

In Iraq, it has recently captured cities and towns as well as border crossings, effectively erasing the frontier.

The group says its Islamic state stretches from northern Syria to the Iraqi province of Diyala northeast of Baghdad, and has called on all Muslims to pledge allegiance to it.

Last week, beleaguered fighters of the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, which has previously fought the Islamic State in opposition-held territory in northern and eastern Syria, defected and joined the Islamic

State in Boukamal, effectively handing over the border town to the powerful group, which controls the Iraqi side of the crossing.

Rebel infighting has turned into a war within a war in Syria, three years after the conflict began with largely peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled the country for more than four decades.

Pistorius ‘not mentally ill during killing’ A panel of mental health experts has concluded that Oscar Pistorius was not suffering from a mental illness when he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home last year, the chief prosecutor at the athlete’s murder trial said yesterday.

Pistorius’ trial resumed after a break of one month during which a psychologist and three psychiatrists also assessed whether the double-amputee runner was capable of understanding the wrongfulness of his act when he shot Steenkamp through a closed toilet

door. The panel’s reports were submitted to Judge Thokozile Masipa, and prosecutor Gerrie Nel referred to key parts of the conclusions, noting that the experts believed Pistorius was “capable of appreciating the wrongfulness of his act” when he killed Steenkamp, a 29-yearold model.

The evaluation came after a psychiatrist, Dr. Merryll Vorster, testified for the defence that Pistorius, who has said he feels vulnerable because of his disability and long-held worry about crime, had an anxiety dis-

order that could have contributed to the killing in the early hours of February 14, 2013.

He testified that he opened fire after mistakenly thinking there was a dangerous intruder in the toilet.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel has alleged that Pistorius, 27, killed Steenkamp after a Valentine’s Day argument, and has portrayed the Olympic athlete as a hothead with a love of guns and an inflated sense of entitlement.

But he requested an independent inquiry into Pistorius’

state of mind, based on concern the defence would argue Pistorius was not guilty because of mental illness.

Pistorius faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of premeditated murder, and could also face years in prison if convicted of murder without premeditation or negligent killing. He is free on bail.

Pistorius was evaluated as an outpatient at Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. He has been staying at the upscale home of his uncle.

Two home-made bombs went off on Monday near Egypt’s presidential palace in Cairo, killing a senior police officer and wounding six people, security officials said. They said the first bomb wounded three street cleaners, while the second exploded while a bomb squad was trying to defuse it, killing a police colonel and wounding three other people, the officials said.

The blasts fall on the anniversary of the massive protests in which millions of Egyptians demanded that Islamist President Mohammed Morsi step down.

Equality backtrack France is replacing its plan to teach children the “ABCD of equality” between boys and girls after protests by some parents who feared it was a stealth effort to erase gender differences. The Education Ministry said it would replace the plan with new training for teachers when the new school year begins in September. From then, teachers will be able to decide how to broach the topic, especially with the youngest students in preschool.

New trial for Coulson Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson and the paper’s former royal reporter Clive Goodman will face a retrial on charges stemming from the phone hacking case. British prosecutors have accused them of paying police officers to obtain royal phone directories so they could hack into the mobile phones of royal aides for stories. The retrial was announced at the start of a sentencing hearing for Coulson, who was convicted last week of a single charge of conspiring to hack phones. Prosecutor Andrew Edis said the Crown Prosecution Service “has taken the position to proceed with the retrial” of Coulson and Goodman.

■ SIX-MONTHLY SURVEY RESULTS

Fewer save for short-term goals

Fewer Kiwis are saving for their short-term goals a survey has revealed.

It was also good news on the long term savings front with the percentage of people saving for the longer term increasing to 29 per cent from 23 per cent in May last year.

But the survey revealed fewer

people had a plan to achieve a short-term financial goal and fewer people were saving for short-term reasons.

Just 50 per cent of those surveyed had a plan to achieve a short term goal compared to 56

per cent a year earlier and those saving for the short term fell from 59 per cent to 53 per cent.

Short-term refers to saving for the next six to 12 months.

The numbers saving for midterm or longer term goals were consistent with previous research.

The commission is putting the drop down to confidence in the economy.

“Increasing confidence in New Zealand’s economy may have led some New Zealanders to become more relaxed about the short-term future,” the report noted.

A spokesman for the commission said the index did not provide a direct answer as to why fewer people were saving for short term goals but suggested they were managing their money better or had a bit more ‘slack’ in their budget which meant they did not need to plan so tightly for the short term.

■ QUARTERLY SURVEY

■ ANZ BANK BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Confidence slides; rates blamed New Zealand business confidence slid this month and rising interest rates have been fingered as the culprit.

The high currency, lower dairy and forestry prices and a levelling in the property market are also being cited as economic downers.

A net 43 per cent of respondents in the ANZ Bank Business Outlook survey for June expect general business conditions to improve in the year ahead, down from a net 54 per cent in the previous month’s survey. Those expecting a better 12 months out of their own businesses fell to 46 per cent from 51 per cent, the lowest in nine months but still well above the long-run average.

“It’s important to remember

that this decline in confidence has been desired - and at least partly engineered - by the Reserve Bank,” said Cameron Bagrie, chief economist at ANZ Bank New Zealand. “The level of confidence remains very high by historical standards, but is now starting to look a little more realistic.”

A net 24 per cent of companies are planning to take on more workers in the next year, well down from the peak of 32 per cent in February but above the 10-year average of five per cent.

Export intentions at a net 20 per cent are their lowest in a year.

Expected profitability has now fallen for four consecutive months, but the falls are getting

smaller. A net 29 per cent of firms expect higher profits.

A net 52 per cent of firms expect an uplift in residential construction and a net 36 per cent expect a rise in commercial construction. Both are down on May. The central bank is likely to be pleased with the inflation indicator in the survey with a net 25 per cent of firms expecting to raise prices during the next year, down 3 points from May. Still, in the hot construction sector, a net 54 per cent of firms expect prices to rise.

New Zealand’s trade-weighted currency index hit a record high on Friday and the kiwi touched a three-year high against the greenback.

But Sorted spokesman Tom Hartmann said short-term goals were important because they helped to create momentum and an ongoing sense of achievement.

“If you’re knocking off short-term goals, you’re more likely to develop good habits and keep heading in the right direction to meet your longerterm aims.”

Hartmann said many shortterm goals were about “saving to spend” such as putting money aside for smaller purchases, such as a holiday.

“By having a goal and a plan to save $5000 for a holiday (versus putting it on the credit card), you’re not only having more control over your finances, you’re also saving money through not having to pay back interest.”

The buoyant economy is being pointed to as the driver behind fewer people planning and saving for short term financial goals.

A survey on New Zealanders’ financial behaviour has revealed more people are living within their means and saving for the longer term but the number of people saving for a short-term goal has fallen.

The Commission for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income undertakes research every six months to determine how Kiwis are saving and spending their money.

Results from its May research show 56 per cent of people surveyed were earning more than what they spend - up from 50 per cent in November 2011.

Fewer people also said they were spending more than they earn - down from 22 per cent to 18 per cent compared to November last year.

■ DROVING LAWS

Watch for herds

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Although Gypsy Day is done and dusted for another year, motorists are warned to expect dairy cattle on the roads in the next few weeks.

Federated Farmers new Mid Canterbury dairy section chairperson Jessie Chan-Dorman said the New Zealand Transport Authority (NZTA) had recently been in contact, concerned about the dangers of moving herds of cattle on public roads.

Mrs Chan-Dorman said safety for farmers, stock and other road users was paramount at all times.

“At this time of the year, cows are being walked from dairy farms to winter grazing and back home later in the month,” she said.

“Most farmers comply with the guidelines very well, but there are a few that may not be aware of the rules and are

Well-signed pilot vehicles help keep everyone safe around moving stock.

putting safety at risk.”

The NZTA recommends farmers use the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management when moving cattle across state highways.

This requires preparing a traffic management plan, to include warning signs, amber flashing lights on all vehicles and high-visibility vests for cattle moving operations.

The Ashburton District Council is the controlling authority for the local roads network. Its stock droving bylaw allows stock to be driven on roads after sunrise and before sunset without written permission provided: • There are no more than 600 cattle and 3000 sheep in one mob, with one drover per 300 cattle or 1500 sheep.

• The animals must be kept moving.

• Suitable signs must be used, at safe stopping distances to warn other road users.

■ STAND-OFF PADS

■ RURAL WOMEN REPORTS

Cow comfort top priority

Winchmore

Farmers considering investing in stand-off pads must make cow comfort their number one priority, according to new research.

Information from a three-year study into stand-off pads, a farm facility which helps farmers prevent pasture damage in wet weather, has been released in a new resource, Stand-off pads – your essential guide to planning, design and management.

DairyNZ farm systems specialist Chris Glassey says the research followed eight farms with stand-off pads during the winter months of May until August.

The farms were monitored for hours of pad use, pad stocking density, surface material deterioration and cow comfort.

“We used activity meters on cows on a stand-off pad in Northland and found that the cows’ comfort levels were well-

maintained over the winter period.

“That’s the encouraging bit, the cows liked it,” Mr Glassey said.

“Their comfort was measured by time spent lying down. Cows need to lie down for at least eight hours a day and will spend time lying in the paddock, instead of grazing, if the stand-off pad isn’t comfortable and with enough space.

“The key to the pad’s success was designing it correctly with appropriate drainage, then regularly topping up and replacing the surface material (woodchip) to create a surface the cows wanted to lie on.”

The new guidelines are designed to help farmers establish and run stand-off pads which keep cows comfortable, fit with the farm system and prevent pas-

ture damage by cows.

“Most farmers are looking for the simplest, most established methods of minimising winter and summer pasture damage,” Mr Glassey said.

“There are new practices and knowledge gained by farmers over the years, which we have learnt from and included in the new guide.”

The research showed after just one pugging event over winter, pasture production can be halved for up to seven weeks.

“Approximately 40 per cent of the ground was bare after moderate treading in winter and pasture took two months to recover, during which time pasture growth fell by 600kg DM/ha,” says Mr Glassey.

“Through pasture reduction, pugging can have an impact on milk production.”

Heart attacks, strokes, CPR, calling 111 for an ambulance were subjects that kept our large attendance of members attention at our meeting held at the very warm and comfortable St John’s rooms.

The paramedic proved to be a wonderful speaker, entertaining but very informative.

He spoke on many subjects and members were encouraged to ask all sorts of questions and we were given excellent answers.

With many changes in procedures since most of the members had undertaken their last first aid course one will be arranged with the programme for the next Rural Women year.

The maternity ward at Ashburton were very grateful to receive our recent donation of warm woollen singlet’s that we made to celebrate the birth of Prince George and some members were privileged to attend when a singlet was given to a new mother and baby.

President Trish presided over a meeting prior to our speaker and the month’s business was attended to.

Members are reminded of our annual QUIZ night to be held on July 11 at the hall, team entries need to be given to the secretary as soon as possible.

Prizes would be gratefully received for our prize table.

Our annual meeting will be held at the MSA on the July 16 followed by a luncheon meal.

A large number of members gathered at a local coffee shop for lunch to complete our very successful June meeting day.

Anama Supporting community groups is one aspect of the work of Rural Women.

At the June meeting of the Anama branch members decided to give donations to the Firefighters’ Fund, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Mayfield St John, Mayfield Cubs, the Rural Women bursary fund and to the Mid Canterbury provincial committee.

Fifteen members attending the meeting at Glenys Nicol’s home were welcomed by the president Jackie Ryan. They were pleased to offer a donation for travel expenses to last month’s speaker Brenda George and to congratulate Megan George on attaining her pilot’s licence qualifying her to fly a 14-seater aircraft.

Guest speaker was Howard Mahare, “the lolly man”, who told of the hardships of his life growing up in Zimbabwe but strongly emphasised the importance of a positive attitude and the importance of breaking the cycle of verbal, mental and physical abuse.

A dynamic motivational speaker and life counsellor, Howard showed what can be achieved with determination, hard work and self-belief. His key words are: Purpose, Passion and Potential.

Next month is the branch annual meeting to be held in the Mayfield church lounge at 10am.

Lynnford Members met at Bernadette’s home for a lovely lunch. It was a beautiful day and the sun shone and the mountains wee spectacular.

Our annual catering for the Hinds Ploughing Match at Ian Lowe’s property was reported on, we were blessed with a lovely winter’s morning a good frost and then the sunshine, what a difference this makes as we have catered in a shed with the wind blowing in off the mountains making conditions unpleasant. The day’s event went to true form with everyone being very satisfied.

As July is our Annual meeting this meeting dealt with a lot of reports, our Financial affairs, our Link meeting where we had Margaret Chapman (ex National President) address us with topical matters that will take place to the future of our organisation, Kerry Maw our National Councillor also addressed us at the last Link meeting and plans are well underway for the Regional Conference in September, this will be a two-day event being held at Lincoln, also an appeal has been launched to support the Solomon Islands after the devastating floods and earthquake.

Funds raised will buy books for schools, this appeal will close end of July.

Members were reminded of the Fairlie Seminar being held June 19, Women and Law this is always a great day out.

It was decided that we could not field a team for the Annual Quiz co at Winchmore, due to members committed to their winter get away.

Our Annual Meeting will take place at Janice Peck’s residence on July 3 with a “High Tea” and some entertainment.

Lamb markets remain mixed with a broader range of prices reported as increased offerings are supplied by UK farmers in May and June this year. The UK lamb slaughter was up 10 per cent on last year in May, and was the highest May slaughter since 2008. As a result there is greater lamb availability in European markets, with some UK suppliers undercutting NZ exporters by about 10p/kg on leg cuts.

At the farmgate, NZ Lamb schedules have been flat for the past three weeks as companies seem fairly comfortable with current procurement, despite a tightening of supplies expected in the coming months. The availability of store lambs has surprised many during June, because it was widely expected that store lambs would be hard to come by through the winter.

Beef The US imported beef market has rocketed even higher over the past week, after already passing record levels a week earlier. The shortage of lean beef on the spot market has reached severe levels, with some US processors now staring down the barrel of not being able process at all, simply because there isn’t any beef available, at any price.

This comes at a time when they’re trying to build inventory to cover the typical increase in demand for the Independence Day holiday on July 4. Prices offered to NZ exporters have been in-

creasing on a daily basis, putting them under no pressure to sell. The unfortunate fact for NZ is that production is fast dropping to winter levels, and plants are starting to close for maintenance, so they’re not able to fully capitalise on the greater returns.

Dairy Dairy prices steadied over the past week, with most commodities unchanged in price compared to the previous week.

The Agrifax price for butter and anhydrous milkfat (AMF) lifted slightly while cheddar declined. At this time, Oceania product left over from the 201314 season will be mostly sold out.

Fonterra has announced its volumes offered in the upcoming GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) auction on July 1. Lower than forecast volumes of whole milk powder (WMP) and AMF will be offered, while skim milk powder (SMP) volume is the same as forecast. Forecasts of WMP volumes have been lowered in the following three July and August auctions by 22 per cent.

For the year ahead, WMP forecast volumes on the GDT have shifted to later months. Forecasts from July to October have been revised downward by 40,000 tonnes. These 40,000 tonnes were shifted to forecast volumes for December to May. As a result, the forecasted peak of WMP volumes offered at GDT auctions will be delayed from September to November. Total forecasted volume of WMP for the year ahead remains unchanged.

■ MORE STOCK SLAUGHTERED

Sheep killers strike again More sheep have been killed on a farm not far from where 195 animals were slaughtered a week ago, police say.

Oamaru Police have received a report of at least 15 sheep being killed on another farm property in the Ngapara area.

Police detective Warren Duncan said they were killed in the hours of darkness, either some time Sunday night or in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Police are investigating and conducting a scene examination at the property where the latest incident took place.

It’s too soon to comment on how the

sheep died, or whether their deaths are linked to the previous killings, Mr Duncan said.

“Both of these events are very unusual but we appreciate that they will be creating a high level of concern amongst local farmers and the community in the Ngapara area,” he said.

“If locals have concerns about their property security, then please contact Oamaru Police for advice and support.

■ ASHBURTON SALVATION ARMY

The Sallies’ gymnasium class of 1934

By Kathleen Stringer

R

ecently, someone brought in this image as they thought we would be interested in a copy and we were!

They say a picture can paint a thousand words and this image tells us much. It tells us that the Salvation Army had

a gymnasium class in 1934.

This evangelical church doesn’t leave as many records as older churches, such as the Presbyterians, so any artefact like this is very important.

The photographer is ‘Bunz’ so we know he was operating then.

All that and we haven’t begun to consider what valuable infor-

mation we gain from just knowing who the members were and what they looked like. Imagine if that was your grandfather sitting there!

There must be many images like these of groups, named (hopefully) or not, sitting in cupboards. While obviously the museum would appreciate being

given them, we are also grateful to take a scanned copy of the images if you want to hold on to them.

The people in the photo are (back row from left): H. Pidgeon (leader), C. Attwood, E. Massey, R. Griffiths, I. Collins (secretary), S. Kerr, W. Griffiths, D. Clayton, C. Jones.

Middle row: L. Luxton, A. Bennison, L. Kerr, Captain Bicknell, J. Hayward, A. Beach, R. Kerr, A. Calder (instructor).

An odd way of sizing things

By Kathleen Stringer

R

ecently I began to look at men’s shirts as I try to increase and improve a wardrobe.

I was confused for a while about the sizing of shirts. Used to the familiar S, OS, M etc pattern, this fitting shirts according to neck size seemed a bit odd to me. What happened, I asked, if you were skinny but had a fat neck or vice versa, what was the idea behind it?

If I had thought about it I should have known, but this collar told me the answer at last.

While ladies’ clothes had frilly collars which could be removed when they got dirty, men had detachable collars, and, in some instances, cuffs. It was much easier to replace a collar than wash and iron a cotton or linen shirt. Having a collar therefore increased the life of a shirt, as washing was quite harsh on fabrics.

These collarless shirts were loose fitting (excess fabric could

be swallowed up by braces, belts and ties) and had low rounded necks, which many people today call “grandpa style”. The only part of the shirt that really needed to fit well was that part which people saw – the collar, hence the importance of neck size.

As with most things there were a variety of fabrics and styles used. While originally starched cotton was used, later cellulose (like photographic negatives) was employed to make cheap but, I would imagine, uncomfortable collars. Along with their collars, which were stored in a collar box or even in presses, men required buttons and studs to fasten the collars.

It must have been a fiddly process getting dressed in the morning, but nothing as complicated as what the womenfolk had to endure. While women no doubt appreciated the laboursaving collars, men were not so keen and collared shirts began to be manufactured in the early 1920s, although some men

preferred their old-style collar.

To assist the laundress in the family, who now had to deal with a whole garment, men began to wear colours that would hide the dirt (so that they still wouldn’t have to change them every day).

While colours and patterns are A detachable men’s shirt collar. quite acceptable to us today and are certainly more versatile than a single colour, to our grandparents these types of shirt spoke volumes.

As a rule, the darker or more patterned the shirt was, the more menial the position the wearer held. For example blue collar workers wore blue as that was the darkest colour cotton manufacturers had in their palate.

It seems odd today that often the most expensive shirts are the very ones our grandparents would be unhappy to be seen in.

We may have come a long way in embracing colours and patterns in our men’s attire, but one thing remains and that is the importance of the size of one’s collar.

In brief

Bailie right on the pace

Bailie Perriton going full throttle at the Queensland raceway in the third round of the Australian Ninja FX300 Cup series.

PHOTO LEE CALDWELL

Williamson in top form Making predictions can be a fraught, and expensive, business.

You can get bitten sharply when it goes wrong. Like the Spanish football fans who assumed they’d arrive in samba land in time for their defending champion countrymen’s march through the knockout stage of the World Cup only to pass their plane going the other way. But when you look at Kane Williamson you imagine 11 more test hundreds to overtake Martin Crowe are comfortably within his reach. His 161 not out to push New Zealand to a formidable position by stumps in the third and deciding test against the West Indies was the highest of his seven test hundreds. It was his third this year, second in the series, and at stumps yesterday, of those with seven or more test tons, only Ross Taylor, Martin Crowe, Glenn Turner and Andrew Jones had a higher test average.

Punt going for gold

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Bailie Perriton had a good weekend on the bike in Queensland to consolidate his third place in the Australian Superbike FX 300 Cup. The Ashburton teenager finished third in all three championship races, to maintain third position after three of the six rounds.

After a crash in the second round at Mallala a few weeks ago he was riding a loaned

machine while his own bike is undergoing repairs, and had to learn the new track, but showed his class to never be out of the leading pack.

During practice and qualifying he was soon matching the pace of the top riders and led qualifying for over half the session until a red flag allowed the riders to regroup and was edged into third.

However, a technical issue had him fitted with the wrong tyres and he was excluded from

the qualifying result, meaning he had to start at the back of the field on Saturday.

He fought back to fifth place in race one, followed by a third and fourth placing to get himself back on the front row for the championship races on Sunday.

Race one was unbelievably close; at one point the electronic timing had Perriton and two other riders in the lead position at the same time.

Perriton came in third as se-

ries leader Brandon Demmery claimed the first of three chequered flags for the day with Jack Baker second.

Race two and three were repeats as Perriton spent time on the front but ultimately finish in third while Kyle Buckley recorded back-to-back second places to remain in second overall.

The 16-year-old will look to narrow the gap in round four at Winton Raceway in Victoria next month as he continues to show his talents.

Shield warm-up 1st XV on a roll

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Coach Glenn Moore has stuck with a winning formula for the Ranfurly Shield warm-up game against Ellesmere in Ashburton tomorrow.

Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury will field a starting XV featuring 10 players from last year’s Meads Cup final victory over North Otago.

Former Mid Canterbury representative Jon Sharp and former Northland Taniwha Scott Vessey form a new-look front row with stalwart Tukulua Tolu.

Logan Bonnington, a reserve in the final, takes the place of retired Grant Polson and pairs with Andrew Smith at lock.

Tavita Ula is on the blindside with new recruit Sam Houston given the start on the openside and Jon Dampney will captain the side from number eight.

The newcomers in the backline are on the wings in Josh Walker and Brenton Connell.

Heartland XV halfback Will McKenzie will resume his inside

back partnership with influential playmaker Murray Williams.

Dwayne Burrows has been released by his club Taiaeri in Dunedin to slot in at centre outside Southbridge’s Peni Manumanuniwila, while Richard Catherwood returns at fullback.

On the extended 11-man bench are several players hoping for a chance to push for a chance to play in next week’s Ranfurly Shield challenge in Pukekohe, while some are simply cover due to injury or unavailability.

Of the extended Ranfurly Shield squad named last week, the experienced Davey Maw and Jimmy Carr are currently out of the country and Willie McGoon is recovering from injury.

Moore will announce a reduced Ranfurly Shield squad following the match with Ellesmere.

The sub-union showed how strong they will be when they took down South Canterbury last month 27-26.

Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury take on Ellesmere at 3pm at the Showgrounds tomorrow.

Ashburton College continued their strong away form with a bonus point win over St Thomas in the Crusaders Secondary Schools’ rugby competition in Christchurch on Saturday.

The 38-14 win was the side’s third win on the road, as well as a draw, and they are yet to win at home from four attempts. The bonus point win kept them in the hunt for the top eight and with three of their final five games at home will hope to change that, with all three against teams lower than them on the table.

On Saturday College had the bonus point in the bag by halftime but fell away in the second half only adding a further two tries but were able to empty the bench to give everyone a good run against the bottom of the table side.

There were two tries each for backs Malaki Cackaunit-

abua, Nete Caucau and Paul Mareko with two conversions each from Kieran Hunt and Sean McCormack.

With three wins and a draw on the road so far this season, College will complete a stretch of three away games this weekend when the face Timaru Boys High School, coached by their former coach Shane Enright and featuring Mid Canterbury ex-pats Nathan McCloy and Tyler Blackburn, in Timaru.

Timaru are coming off a strong 38-10 win over Waimea that has them sitting sixth, with Ashburton ninth.

Christchurch Boys High School remain unbeaten on top of the table after a convincing 58-13 win over the defending champions and second placed Marlborough.

Shirley held off Roncalli 22-19, St Bede’s were too strong for Lincoln 26-6, St Andrews beat Burnside 1513, Christ’s College slumped to a 3-6 loss at home to Rangiora and Nelson had the bye.

When Mark Hager writes down his team list for the big occasions, Anita Punt’s name will be among the first. The Wellington midfielder is in prime form, was arguably New Zealand’s best player at the recent World Cup at The Hague, and her expertise at the crucial penalty corner set piece provides the Black Sticks with a serious attacking threat. With 161 games behind her since her international debut five years ago, Punt, 26, looms as an influential figure if the Black Sticks are to go one better in Glasgow than their silver medal at Delhi in 2010.

Warriors travelling well With 10 rounds remaining in the NRL season and the race for finals positions heating up, the Warriors are finding ways to win without playing their best football.

Sunday’s 30-20 victory over the high-flying Penrith Panthers was patchy, with the Warriors having led 12-0 early on before conceding 16 straight points. A second-half fightback saw them reclaim the lead before a strong defensive effort and a Shaun Johnson intercept try got them home. After knocking off the Brisbane Broncos last week, they’ve now beaten two top eight sides in successive weeks to record their sixth win in eight games, and continue their rise under coach Andrew McFadden. “You don’t have your perfect games all the time and we’re finding a way to win at the moment which is pleasing,” said McFadden.

Top eight for Paddon Hayden Paddon has finished a very credible eighth place overall in Rally Poland, his second World Rally Championship event with Hyundai Motorsport. Reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier won the event with teammate Andreas Mikkelsen of Norway in second. It was the first time Paddon and co-driver John Kennard had contested the Polish event, which hasn’t been an FIA World Rally Championship round since 2009.

Paddon was happy with the performance improvements he and Kennard have been able to make on the Polish event, although admits his competitive nature always has him hoping for more.

Methven retain premier status For the second time this season Methven convincingly outclassed College B last night to remain in premier netball.

In last night’s promotion-relegation match Methven raced out to a commanding 24-8 lead at halftime under the lights, and went on to win 46-20 to ensure they will finish the season in premier, and start there next season when netball heads inside the to-be-completed EA Networks centre.

Staring down the barrel of slipping out of the top grade after playing in last year’s premier final, Methven went without a win in the second round of premier but pulled it together to topple College B, with their only other win this season coming over College B 51-13 in what was essentially a premier relegation match in round one.

While Methven stayed up for the second round, College B dropped down to senior A but came out on top in their new grade in the second round, where a rule change from Mid Canterbury netball had the two sides meet in the promotionrelegation play-off rather than automatically swapping places.

The third round, that will conclude with finals, begins on Saturday where Methven meets Hampstead A for a second successive week.

United clash with Collegiate and College A square off with defending champions Celtic.

After last night’s disappointment, College B start their campaign to be crowned senior A champions against Methven B.

After a lean few weekends several Mid Canterbury men’s sides came out on top in Mainland Football on Saturday.

The best efforts came from two of the junior travelling sides, with both posting big wins over Coastal Spirit.

Mid Canterbury 18th cleaned up Coastal Spirit 18A 5-1 in 18th grade division two, while in 15th grade division one Mid Canterbury had an 8-4 win over Coastal Spirit 15A. In division four Mid Canterbury Eastern claimed a 3-0 win over Universities while Methven were outgunned at home 2-4 by Parklands United.

The Mid Canterbury Masters also snapped a four game losing streak with a 3-2 win over Cashmere Technical to sit in 11th place heading into the weekend’s final round of grading.

On Sunday the Mid Canterbury women suffered a second consecutive defeat.

They were beaten 2-1 by FC Twenty 11 to start the cup competition after winning the league despite a final round loss to Christchurch United – whom they meet again this Sunday – in the only two games they have lost all season.

Road to Glasgow now in sharp focus

John Snowden is presented with messages of support from Lagmhor School from his daughter Lilian, 5.

PHOTO JONATHAN LEASK 300614-JL-015

New Zealand fullbore rifle shooter John Snowden was admittedly nervous yesterday.

It wasn’t the barrage of questions for the Lagmhor School children, it was that he was about to head off on the journey to defend a Commonwealth Games gold medal.

“I am pretty nervous but I think most of that is just the anxiety about leaving and worrying about if I have forgotten to pack something or anything on the farm for the next six weeks,” Snowden said.

“The nerves will settle down once I’m actually on the plane because then there isn’t really anything I can do about it.”

Snowden and his family fly out for

London today to have a bit of time to acclimatise to the different time zone before he, and Mike Collings, will compete in the UK National shooting championships before relocating to Glasgow for the games.

Snowden said that the shooting range, the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre in Carnoustie, was two hours out of Glasgow which would mean “we’ll be out of the way” for a more relaxed setting. However, shooters will be met with intense security standards that will see their rifles locked away in an armoury when they are not required for competition.

They have three days of practice on the range but Snowden didn’t plan on being there every day, opting to take a day out to “clear his head” before the competition got underway.

As a defending Commonwealth Games gold medallist there is an air of pressure on the New Zealand shooters, to medal in either or both of the individual and pair.

Snowden isn’t too concerned about the expectation. “You can’t really worry about the end result too much or get weighed down by everything that’s going on. Once you get on the range all that matters is the next shot and the result will take care of itself.”

Snowden is one of two locals to compete at the Commonwealth Games with Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis set to feature on the track and possibly the road race.

Cyclist Hayden Roulston withdrew last week due to injury, Mark Jackman missed out on sevens selection as did bowler Sandra Keith for the Black Jacks.

■ ASHBURTON RACES

In brief

Club hoping for top fields The inclement weather in May and June has resulted in the Ashburton Racing Club’s meeting this Friday being upgraded to Feature meeting status.

High winds caused damage to the stands at Waimate so that one scheduled meeting was transferred and the other abandoned, while continual heavy rain in Christchurch forced a CJC meeting abandonment recently.

To compensate industry stakeholders New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing allocated a new race to the Ashburton card and increased stakes to $152,500 for the day.

Hopefully this will make for a profitable day for the local club.

With many trainers reluctant to start on the very testing track at Riccarton, this is a limited opportunity to race for the good stakes on offer at this time of the year and the committee are expecting some very good fields for the day.

Early indications are promis-

ing that some of the better calibre horses from the Otago region will travel and do battle with their Canterbury counterparts.

Of course this season’s leading trainer Lisa Latta always has recruits from the North Island arm of her operation to take advantage of these opportunities and she is expected to have a strong representation.

The locals will also have a hand to play though and the McKay, Hay and Champion/Murphy teams are each likely to have three or four likely candidates.

The two open class races should attract good fields, especially the 1400m event where likely contenders for the $100,000 CJC Winter Cup sharpen up in preparation for this event in the next month.

While rain is forecast during the week ahead, the track should provide even winter footing with all horses having their chance.

Targeting Guineas A Guineas campaign through the spring beckons the unbeaten Matamata two-year-old Caduceus. The Paul and Kris Shailer-trained Lucky Unicorn gelding won both of his starts this season, following a Waverley debut win with success in the Listed Champagne Stakes at Ellerslie in April. He spelled immediately after that 1600m win, but has been back in work with the Shailers for the past three weeks. “He’s ticking over nicely. He’ll probably trial at Te Teko (in August) and then head to the Hawke’s Bay Guineas (in early October), maybe with one race before then,” Paul Shailer said.

- APNZ

Encouraging debut So You Think’s three-quarter brother Packing Chaparral turned in an encouraging performance at Matamata yesterday. The $800,000 Karaka yearling finished runner-up on debut for local trainers Ken and Bev Kelso.

Ridden by Reese Jones, Packing Chaparral jumped well to take up the early running before trailing and stuck grimly to his task in the straight in testing Heavy 11 conditions.

Lisa Latta is expected to bring a strong team to Ashburton.

■ PENALTY SHOOTOUT

Ramadan off limits Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic has turned on reporters repeatedly asking whether his players are observing Ramadan on the eve of their World Cup clash with Germany. Germany take on the Algerians in Porto Alegre tHis morning in their last 16 clash, but repeated questions about the Muslim month of fasting drew the coach’s wrath. “Stop asking me about Ramadan or I will get up and leave,” fumed the Bosnia-born Halilhodzic as Ramadan started on Saturday. “When you ask the question, you lack respect and I’d like you to focus on the football and nothing else.”

Van Gaal ‘the best’ Dutch centurion Dirk Kuyt hailed Louis van Gaal as the most tactically adept coach in the game after he masterminded the comeback against Mexico that saw the Netherlands into the World Cup quarter-finals. Kuyt played in three positions throughout the 90 minutes on his 100th appearance for his country. He started in an unfamiliar role at left-back before moving to right-back and eventually up front as the Netherlands played catch up after Giovani dos Santos had scored for Mexico. “He’s maybe the best tactically there is in the world,” said the 33-year-old former Liverpool striker who is now with Fenerbahce.

“It doesn’t matter what system we are playing the players know exactly what to do. 15 minutes before the end of the game he decided to put an extra striker to play longer balls and looks for second balls and we managed to score a goal so his tactics were once again spot on.”

Eight die in Colombia Eight people have died in Bogota during celebrations of Colombia’s 2-0 World Cup victory over Uruguay, Mayor Gustavo Petro says. “The result of the celebration in Bogota of (the) match is very bad ... Eight people died in hospitals,” Petro said in a statement posted on his Twitter account. On Sunday night a 25-year-old woman was hit and killed by a stray bullet in Bosa, a residential section of Bogota, but details on the other fatalities were unavailable. After the deaths of nine people in Bogota following Colombia’s first World Cup game, a 3-0 win over Greece on June 14, local authorities implemented a series of measures to try and avoid violent acts.

The measures, including a “dry law” prohibiting the purchase, sale and consumption of alcohol, were successful after Colombia’s second and third group matches when no fatalities were reported.

Colombia’s win against Uruguay put them through to quarter-finals where they will face hosts Brazil in Fortaleza on July 5.

Dutch, Costa Rica advance

By Justin Davis Wesley Sneijder and KlaasJan Huntelaar led a late Dutch fightback to sink Mexico and reach the World Cup quarterfinals as Costa Rica advanced with a dramatic penalty shootout win over Greece.

A controversial injury time penalty won by Arjen Robben saw Holland snatch a 2-1 victory over Mexico in Forataleza before the Central American minnows defeated Greece 5-3 on penalties in Recife to reach the last eight for the first time.

Bayern Munich star Robben, who is often accused of going to ground too easily, tumbled to the turf in injury time after a tackle by Mexico’s Rafael Marquez.

Portuguese referee Pedro Proenca pointed to the spot and Klaas Jan Huntelaar stepped up to bury the winning penalty.

It came just moments after Sneijder had scored an 88thminute equaliser to cancel out Giovani dos Santos’s superb goal for Mexico.

The epic finale settled a second round battle played in furnace-like conditions at Fortaleza’s Castelao Stadium.

Mexico coach Miguel Herrera lashed out at referee Proenca for awarding the penalty.

“The determining factor was the man with the whistle. He put us out of the World Cup,” Herrera said.

“At the very least they can look at this and this referee ought to be going home like us.”

Robben however insisted Proenca had been right to award the penalty, telling Dutch broadcaster NOS: “I was fouled.”

But Robben did admit to a dive in an unsuccessful attempt to win a penalty earlier in the first half.

“I really have to say and at the same time apologise in the first half I took a dive and I really shouldn’t do that,” he said.

“That was a stupid, stupid thing to do but sometimes you’re expecting to be struck and then they pull their leg away at the last minute.”

The Dutch fightback left Mexico’s players in tears as their last 16 jinx struck again.

Mexico have now lost in the second round in six consecu-

tive World Cup appearances, and had been just minutes away from a first quarter-final since 1986.

The match saw three-minute cooling breaks used for the first time in World Cup history as pitch-side temperatures hit 39C. Dutch coach Louis van Gaal praised his team for not wilting as they chased an equaliser in punishing conditions.

“The players showed they had faith and belief until the very end,” said Van Gaal.

“The humidity was not in our favour so when you see that until the very last minute we were fresher and fitter than the Mexicans that is a big compliment to my players.”

Holland now face Costa Rica in Salvador on Sunday after the Central Americans defeated Greece.

Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas was the hero, saving Greece’s fourth penalty from Fanis Gekas before Michael Umana stepped up to convert the winning spot-kick for “Los Ticos.”

A lacklustre game at the Pernambuco Arena saw Costa Rica take the lead on 52 minutes through captain Bryan Ruiz.

Christian Bolanos picked out Ruiz on the edge of the area, and the 28-year-old striker coolly placed his finish in the bottom corner past a static Orestis Karnezis.

ARGENTINA vs

Costa Rica, the surprise package of the World Cup so far after winning Group D ahead of Uruguay, Italy and England, looked to have Greece’s measure.

But the dismissal of Costa Rica’s Oscar Duarte for a tackle on Jose Holebas swung the game back towards the Greeks.

Costa Rica appeared to have survived the onslaught but with just seconds to go, Navas could only parry a shot from Theofanis Gekas, and Sokratis Papastathopoulos was on hand to sweep home the equaliser.

Both sides created chances in extra time, but were unable to find a way through, leading to the shoot-out lottery.

■ CUP STRESS

In brief

Brazil fan smashes TV, video goes viral Ah, World Cup penalty shootouts. The stress. The anguish. The joy. The mad dash to find somewhere else to watch the final minutes after you smash your flat-screen TV. That, at least, was the experience of Brazilian fan Rafael Gambarim, who was so overcome with emotion while watching the host nation’s penalty shootout against Chile on that he smashed his own television set.

A video of his outburst has been shared 34,000 times on Facebook and been viewed more than 36,000 times on YouTube.

It shows Gambarim and two cousins embracing and leaping with joy as Brazil’s Julio Cesar saves a penalty by Chile’s Alexis Sanchez after their round of 16 match ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Gambarim appears to kiss and embrace the TV as it shows images of the Brazilian keeper.

Then the shot turns to Sanchez, and Gambarim smacks him in the face - shattering his screen and leaving the Chilean forward’s image frozen in place, a spiderweb of illuminated shards crackling across it.

“I was annoyed because he scored (Chile’s first half) goal against Brazil, and when he missed, I was elated. When they showed him I said ‘Take that boy!’“ Gambarim told news portal G1.

“There was a lot of emotion at the time.”

Brazil won 3-2 on penalties to go through to the quarter-finals against Colombia.

Gambarim said he planned to buy a new TV before then.

Rafael Gambarim

AT A GLANCE: The Netherlands beat Mexico 2-1 and Costa Rica beat Greece 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

PLAYER OF THE DAY: Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Navas blocked a string of shots and was equally impressive in the two 15-minute periods of extra time before pulling off a superb one-handed save to deny Greece’s Theofanis Gekas’ spot kick during the penalty shoot-out.

TALKING POINT: Arjen Robben’s controversial injury-time penalty that gave the Netherlands their last-gasp win against Mexico. Robben admitted to a dive in an unsuccessful attempt to win a penalty during the first half.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “To everyone back home and out on the streets this is for you. The people love football and they deserve this. We’re ambitious, we want to grow and develop and God willing we will go on in this tournament.” - Costa Rica’s manager Jorge Luis Pinto.

Lydia Ko, of New Zealand, hits off the 10th tee during the final round of the NW Arkansas Championship.

AP PHOTO

Ko settles for second World No.1 Stacy Lewis has fired a six-under 65 to seize an emotional come-from-behind triumph in the LPGA Northwest Arkansas Championship.

Lewis, who attended the University of Arkansas in nearby Fayetteville, collected her 11th career victory and third of the season with a 12-under-par 201 in the 54hole event.

She also won the North Texas LPGA Shootout and ShopRite LPGA Classic, but she admitted this one was tougher.

“It’s so hard to play here,” said Lewis, who was the focus of exuberant support from the crowd.

“I can tell you I was more nervous today than I was at the US Open last week.

“That’s just how much this place means to me.”

New Zealand teenager Lydia Ko also fired a superb final-round 65 to jump into a share of second place with US veteran Cristie Kerr (67) and American Angela Stanford (67) on 202.

South Korea’s Ryu So-Yeon closed with a 69 for 203, one stroke in front of Chella Choi, of South Korea, and Norway’s Suzann Pettersen.

American Michelle Wie, who was coming off her first major title victory at the US Women’s Open at Pinehurst, held a two-stroke lead going into the final round but tripped to a two-over 73 to fall into a share of eighth place on eight-under 205.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) There’s a need to avoid making assumptions, double checking all communications and be alert to computer or technical glitches TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) In his last full day in retrograde motion in your income sector Mercury is giving one last chance to work with a smart head for money and hindsight.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Mercury retrograde phases can cause communication glitches, but only if you make assumptions – assume nothing.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) The Moon and the nose for money being triggered gives you a chance to start lining up at the right doors before they open.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Whether it’s to catch up with old friends or making a phone call or simply remembering old friends, this is a day for revisiting the past.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Not only is this a day when Mercury madness is likely to strike, you’re mentally more focused on where you’ve been than where you’re going.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While lucky Jupiter is due to leave your career sector in 15 days time, there are clues to where the most powerful force in the solar system is shifting.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Avoid making any rash or impulsive decisions on the money front today and instead hold off completely or choose to measure twice and cut once.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As Mercury spends his last full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector take the time to give the past and unsaid words a voice.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) The word on the work front today is to stop, pay attention and spend time looking back through the rear view mirror first.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) There is a lot of focus on matters of the heart and your relationships today, with doors open to second chances and about to open to new beginnings.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Today give the past and unsaid words a voice or honour the promises and intentions you’ve made to yourself or loved ones.

Family entries a major duathlon feature

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton Duathlon Series got underway on Sunday with over 130 competitors taking part in the first of four races at the Ashburton racecourse.

The short course (2.5km run, 11km bike and 1.25km run) had Steve Caldwell at the tender age of 50 come across the finish line first in 35 minutes and 30 seconds. In second was Andrew Titheridge almost two minutes back with third place the team of Anthony Doreen and Peter Wilcox.

Caitlin Titheridge was the first female finisher in 10th overall, with Erin Downie held out fast finishing Zoe Bond to be the second female.

In the long course Sam Bell was too strong for everyone taking out the 5km run 25km bike and 2.5km run in a time of 65 minutes four seconds.

Two minutes back second place was decided by a sprint finish with Daniel Smith holding off Greg Bassam.

The first female to cross the line was Gail Harvey-Hayward in 78:37, followed by Juliann Simeonidis just over seven minutes back and third was Doreen Lembke a further 23 seconds behind.

One of the great highlights of the day was the number of families taking part, including a grandfather running with his grandchildren.

Race two of the series is on July 27.

Erin Downie crosses the ďŹ nish line at the end of the opening race of the Ashburton Duathlon Series on Sunday.
