Blaze caused by faulty system BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Holiday anticsP3

Ashburton man John Withell was sitting at home watching television last Thursday night when the lights went out. Just a few moments later, the spot where he had been sitting was engulfed in flames. The Elizabeth Street house was the second Mid Canterbury property in less than 18 months to be set ablaze by a faulty heat transfer system. Mr Withell says he and wife Shirley were “bloody lucky” that their neighbour, who happened to be a volunteer firefighter, saw flames on the roof and alerted the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade. “I didn’t know what the hell was going on,” he said.

“You don’t realise how quickly fire spreads.” The roof and a living room wall suffered moderate damage in the blaze, but Mr Withell believed that if the fire had occurred later that night, someone could have been killed. The particular model of heat transfer system that caused the blaze was the same as the one responsible for a family home in Willowby being gutted in June last year. The Weiss Heat Transfer Unit model FV603 was recalled on June 16 2014, less than two weeks after the Willowby house fire. Ashburton fire risk management officer Murray Cairns believes dozens of fires around the country have been caused by the faulty system. He urged people to check their sys-

tems as soon as a recall notice was issued. “They recall stuff for a reason, it’s obviously causing a problem.” Mr Withell and his wife were “extremely lucky” to escape the fire unscathed, he said. “If that had been in the middle of the night, there could have been a tragic result.” There had been a large number of deaths related to fires over the past several months, and the last thing Mr Cairns wanted was to see a fatality closer to home. He also urged people to check their smoke alarms. The Fire Service attends about 3700 house fires per year, and 80 per cent of those are in buildings without working smoke alarms, he said. “One smoke alarm can save a life.”

New ﬂeet of limousines The Department of Internal Affairs is set to acquire a fleet of flash new ministerial limousines. 32 of its fleet of 24 VIP vehicles will be replaced with new BMW 730Lds, the DIA announced yesterday. The vehicles were selected after a “robust tendering process”, which evaluated nine vehicles from six manufacturers. The cars were evaluated for safety, security, reliability, comfort and space, suitability for VIPs and as a mobile office. They also looked at compliance with emission standards, economy and total cost of ownership. Three were shortlisted and the BMW 730Ld was chosen for having the lowest total cost of ownership.

Ralph Lauren to step down as CEO Ralph Lauren (below, right) is stepping down as CEO of the fashion and home decor empire that he founded nearly 50 years ago. The New York-based company announced yesterday that Stefan Larsson (below, left), who has been the global president of Gap’s low-price Old Navy chain for three years, will succeed him. The change will be effective in November, and Larsson will report to Lauren who will continue to drive the company’s vision and strategy as executive chairman and chief creative officer. Before his tenure at Old Navy, Larsson was part of an executive team at Swedish cheap chic fashion chain H&M for 15 years. During that time, H&M’s operations grew to 44 countries from 12. “My job is to think always about the future of our company and how to move it forward,” Ralph Lauren said. “Stefan Larsson is exceptionally talented, and he will bring our company a fresh and exciting global perspective.” Ralph Lauren also announced that Jackwyn Nemerov, president and chief operating officer, will retire in November, at which time she will become an adviser to the company.

There will be a Game of Thrones movie Author George RR Martin has let slip that a Game of Thrones movie is in the works. The novelist created the books on which the hit TV drama is based, and he has also written a number of episodes for the show and acts as co-executive producer. George has now revealed that Game of Thrones will continue on the big screen once the show finishes, but he will not be involved in the project as he is busy working on the remaining books. George tells Ibnlive.com, “There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and (executive producers) DB (DB Weiss) and David (Benioff) are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.” Reports suggest Game of Thrones will end after eight seasons.

■ HEALTH

Blanket ban on sugary drinks By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton Hospital was one of the first hospitals to ban sugary drinks and now the rest of New Zealand is following suit. Nine years after the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) banned the sale of sugar sweetened soft drinks, the rest of the country’s district health boards are jumping on the bandwagon. As of yesterday the Ministry of Health required all hospitals and district health boards

to kick sugary drinks off their premises to ensure more is done to reduce obesity. New Zealand’s obesity rate is the third highest in the OECD with one in three adults classed as obese and a further 34 per cent deemed overweight. In a move to increase healthy food and beverage options the CDHB implemented its Healthy Food Policy, which included the phasing out of sugary drinks, back in October 2006. University of Otago professor of human nutrition and

medicine Jim Mann commended Ashburton Hospital’s pro-active efforts in banning the toothdamaging sugar drinks. Professor Mann said while the nationwide ban on sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) took “far too long”, it was certainly a step in the right direction. The definition of an SSB, as used by the New Zealand Beverage Guidance Panel (Auckland University) is any beverage that has had “calorific sweetener”, usually sugar, added prior to sale.

This includes soft drinks, sachet mixes, fruit drinks, cordials, flavoured milks, cold tea and coffee and energy or sports drinks. It does not however, include 100 per cent fruit juices or artificially sweetened drinks such as diet sodas. Following the implementation of the ban, Ministry of Health long term condition chief advisor Dr Fran McGrath confirmed 13 DHBs already had bans on sugar sweetened drinks in place, while another six were expected to follow suit by today.

■ METHVEN HOLIDAY PROGRAMME

Waikato DHB is expected to have its policy implemented January next year. University of Auckland researcher and head of health advocacy group FIZZ, Dr Gerhard Sundborn, welcomed the initiative. “Considering the harm that sugary drinks pose in their contribution to rotten teeth, diabetes and obesity, this action will have strong population health benefits, particularly for our children,” Dr Sundborn said.

■ MURDER CHARGE

Jam-packed holiday fun for the children Pair deny While the school holidays may be boring for some, for a handful of Methven children it is all go. Methven youth mentor Juanita Richards is running a jampacked holiday programme, presented by the Te Puawaitanga Charitable Trust. Earlier this week the kids took part in Muso Monday, where they got their rock on. On Tuesday the holiday programme took to the town, biking around Methven and yesterday, “Wacky Wednesday”, was all about mixed games and challenges. “[Yesterday] was a huge success … fantastic behaviour and great support from parents,” Ms Richards said. Today will see the group learn how to build huts and go on a tramp before participating in an “amazing race” tomorrow.

■ ASHBURTON CRASH

A man and a woman have denied murdering a Taupo preschooler. David William Haerewa, 43, and a 26-year-old woman appeared in the High Court at Rotorua yesterday where, through their lawyers, they each pleaded not guilty to the murder of Moko Sayviah Rangitoheriri. The 3-year-old was admitted to Taupo Hospital with critical injuries in August. He died before he was able to be transferred to Starship Hospital in Auckland. Justice Timothy Brewer lifted the name suppression of Haerewa but the interim name suppression remains for his co-accused. A hearing will be held on October 22 to decide if her name suppression will continue. Both defendants were remanded into custody until a case review hearing on December 2. A trial date has been set for February 17, 2016. Family of the child were in the court’s public gallery. - NZME

■ IMMIGRATION

In brief

Migrant workers essential Mid Canterbury’s dairy industry is reliant on Filipino workers and the cancellation of visas could hit farmers hard at this time of the year, a dairy spokesperson says. Immigration New Zealand is investigating hundreds of migrant workers to establish whether they have been involved in a black market scam involving false documents. Filipino workers desperate to obtain positions on New Zealand dairy farms have reportedly paid up to $15,000 to “fixers” in the Philippines for documents which boost their chances. In most cases the fal-

sified documents extended the length and extent of the applicants work experience. Filipino Dairy Farm Workers Association chairman Earl Magtibay thought up to 150 people could be involved in the scam South Island-wide. They include both existing visa holders and new applicants. Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury dairy spokesperson and vice president Jessie Chan-Dorman understood the Government was clamping down of issuing work for new applicants from the Philippines until the situation was resolved. Mrs Chan-Dorman said there

has been some irregularity in evaluating overseas qualifications. “Some overseas qualifications are sent to Wellington and assessed against NZQA standards and others get taken at face value,” she said. “There has probably been some inconsistency and they haven’t necessarily looked at all qualifications to verify them. “It appears they may have assessed one qualification and if someone else comes through with the same qualification, rather than overlap, they tick it off.” However, the problem may

not lie with assessing the qualification, but verifying its authenticity, Mrs Chan-Dorman said. Many workers who entered the country using falsified documents had probably upskilled to the required level by now, and would qualify for a work visa. Preventing migrants from working, or deporting them would hurt dairying businesses further in an already tough year. Mrs Chan-Dorman said the focus of the investigation needed to be on identifying where the problem arose in the first place.

World Ostomy Day The Ashburton Ostomy Society is celebrating World Ostomy Day this weekend with a sausage sizzle. The group will be in the Mitre 10 car park from 10am this Saturday October 3.

Seal attacks boy A Gisborne boy has been attacked by a large seal at Mahia, suffering puncture wounds to his arm. The 10-year-old boy had been on his way to fish at Snapper Rock on the eastern side of Mahia Peninsula, between Napier and Gisborne. He was walking through grass yesterday when the seal suddenly lunged at him. The seal, believed to be an adult fur or leopard seal, disappeared into the sea after the attack. - NZME

Slip closes pass A rock slip near Arthur’s Pass closed State Highway 73 for much of yesterday after knocking out a large section of guardrail. The slip at the Otira Gorge rock shelter, between Arthur’s Pass to Otira, deposited about 200cu m of rock on the road. The highway was completely closed at the slip for a time but reopened to one lane of traffic by the last night. Otira Hotel owner Lester Rowntree said things had been “dead” after the slip occurred about 8am. He was surprised there was a slip when the weather had been so good. - NZME

Ashburton’s art gallery and museum are open for business but they’re missing one essential ingredient – their streetside café. The Ashburton District Council has made several attempts to lease the café. It’s had no takers. Now it’s getting serious. It’s advertised for expressions of interest but council commercial manager James Webb knows tight conditions around running the café might make finding a tenant a tall order. As part of its resource consent conditions, the café cannot use its outdoor space for business and it cannot advertise streetside. Its hours of business can only be from 10am to 4pm and if it plays music it must be low level. Like the gallery and museum it has tight conditions around the number of evening functions it can hold. At this stage the café is an unfinished

space. Power and water are connected and the council hopes whoever takes up the lease will have their own vision on how to use the space, Mr Webb said. It has its own entrance from West Street and there are no limits on the style of café or the food that can be served, he said. The council’s other community facility, the EA Networks Centre also has a café and this was let several months ago. It was the giant to the art and heritage centre’s minnow in terms of size. “This one will be a bigger step in a number of ways than the EA Networks as it had a kitchen and counter; this has nothing in place.” The café space is small, but its inability to advertise streetside could deter a potential tenant, Mr Webb said.

A sexually explicit book for teenagers that no commercial publisher would touch when it was written has been picked up by an American publisher - thanks to being banned in New Zealand. Into The River, by Auckland author Ted Dawe, will now be published in the United States by thriller writer Jason Pinter of Polis Books, a new firm founded in 2013 which lists 24 other authors on its website.

No support for Brown A spokeswoman for anti-domestic violence organisation Shine says there hasn’t been enough public evidence that entertainer Chris Brown has reformed to warrant an exemption being made for him to enter the country. Jill Proudfoot said she wasn’t aware of any public effort that Brown has undertaken to show his remorse and make amends. - NZME

Fault disrupts text, cellphone service By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Spark customers have been left frustrated after a fault disrupted cellphone service in Ashburton for several days. Mid Cantabrians have reported being unable to make or receive calls over the past week, while others could not access their text messages. The problem also caused

headaches for Ashburton Health 2000 owner Bob McDonald, who said not being able to receive phone calls affected the running of his business. “It was horrendous,” he said. “It was a pain.” Instead of ringing, calls would go straight to voicemail, he said. Other users took to the Guardian’s Facebook page to

vent their frustration with the issue. Tayla Walker said it was “annoying” not being able to make calls, while Jo Swan said she was unable to send text messages. Mel Gyton said her cell service gets “super limited”, and had been even worse over the past week. According to a Spark spokes-

woman, a faulty TV amplifier in Ashburton created interference with three mobile sites in the region. That was a problem from around midday Sunday through to about 6pm Monday, and would have affected 3G connections. Another fault affected a central Ashburton cell site on Friday.

Solo tramper broke golden rule An inexperienced tramper may have been feeling invincible because the weather was fine, the turquoise water of the Wilkin River was “alluring” and he was unburdened by a pack, his partner has told an inquest in Queenstown. The body of Scott James Oliver, 41, of Wellington, was found by a tramper on January 22 about 15km downstream from where he was last seen alive in Mt Aspiring National Park, west of Makarora. Rachel Smith told Otago-

“We carried out some planned maintenance work on one of the cell sites on Friday and unfortunately there was a small issue as a result of this which temporarily affected some 4G connections in the area,” the spokeswoman said. “This was fixed on Tuesday morning – and we’d like to apologies to customers who were impacted by the problems.”

Southland coroner David Crerar she was an experienced tramper who knew the “golden rule” of tramping was never to split up, but she could not dissuade Mr Oliver from continuing alone down the river. Although capable, physically fit and a strong swimmer, he had little tramping experience, she said. Mr Oliver was last seen on January 4 on a track in the upper reaches of the Wilkin River. It was the second-to-last day of a six-day tramp of the

Young and Wilkins valleys by the couple and Ms Smith’s father and brother. The party were on the return leg of a day trip from their campsite at Jumboland flat to Lake Lucidis via top Forks Hut. Police search and rescue co-ordinator Sergeant Aaron Nicholson, of Wanaka, said searchers found Mr Oliver’s last footprints on the river bank at the entrance to a gorge. He had probably lost his footing while trying to cross the river at that point, and been

caught in the gorge rapids, pinned underwater against a rock. A report by Mountain Safety Council acting operations manager Nathan Watson concluded that Mr Oliver’s decision to travel downriver alone was the main contributing factor in his death – a decision exacerbated by his lack of river crossing experience, possible physical and mental tiredness, and the gorge’s inherent danger. Mr Crerar’s formal written finding was reserved. - NZME

After just two months in Ashburton, Stopping Violence Services is on the move. The anger management programme provides some of the services once under the umbrella of Relationships Aotearoa, which closed its doors earlier this year. Stopping Violence Services, an accredited Domestic Violence Approved provider, was situated in a room rented out by Safer Ashburton on Tancred Street, but had to find a new premises. Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford said it rented the offices within its building on Tancred Street to Relationships Aotearoa and its contractors, but has now decided to end the lease pending a move to the new Community House building. Stopping Violence Services clinical director Pete Darrell said he found out about the move just over a fortnight ago. “It certainly threw us in a tailspin but fortunately YMCA Ashburton have come to our aid.” As of next week Stopping Violence Services will split its time between the YMCA at Tancred Street Mall and the Department of Corrections facility on Cass Street. YMCA South and Mid Canterbury general manager Keith Shaw said the YMCA was an organisation committed to contributing towards a “violence free” Mid Canterbury community. “As a non-governmental organisation, we also support other NGOs that are committed to providing programmes and services that work towards this goal,” Mr Shaw said. The services offered by the anger management programme will remain the same, running twice a week.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Judge warns of serious sentence The following people appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court this week: Nature Ratima, 19, of Allenton, failed to make good a community work sentence and breached an intensive supervision requirement handed down in May for a robbery charge. She had not reported to probation services since June. Judge Maze ordered a presentence report to include electronically monitored sentencing options, warning Ratima the original charge was serious and she could expect a more serious sentence when she returns to court on November 16. Logan Glenn Worthington Rule, of Hampstead, admitted charges of intentional damage and resisting police officers. He was convicted and sentenced to six months of supervision.

Earlier this month Rule threw a bottle at a door in the Ashburton Police Station, smashing a glass panel. When arrested, he struggled with police officers and had to be restrained and lifted into the police car. Cody James Fahey, 21, of Allenton, admitted a driving while disqualified charge. He was convicted, disqualified from driving for six months – from January 16 when his current period of disqualification ends, fined $400 and ordered to pay court costs of $130. Brooke Anthony Monson, 19, of Ashburton, breached the conditions of a community work sentence handed down for contravening the terms of a zero-alcohol licence earlier this year. Monson was caught twice with a mobile phone in his possession while attending commu-

nity work. He will be sentenced on October 19. Luapo-John Etimani, of Ashburton, was sentenced to two months community detention on his third count of drink driving with an excess breath alcohol level of 538 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. He was disqualified from driving indefinitely and must obtain and use a zero-alcohol licence for three years if and when his licence is returned. He will also be subject to six months of supervision. Judge Maze told Etimani he was setting a bad example for his children. Jordon Brian McDonald, 20, of Ashburton, admitted two charges of intentional damage. McDonald argued with the complainant before kicking holes in a door and taking an item of clothing outside and burning it.

He was convicted and remanded on bail for sentencing on November 16. Thomas Ryan Greer, 19, of Allenton, made a poor decision when he attempted to outrun police while in the company of four other 18-year-old men. Greer failed to give way at six intersections before crashing into safety bollards, costing him $1451 in reparations. He was convicted on charges of dangerous driving and failing to stop for police signals and disqualified from driving for six months.

tence was cancelled. Paul Joseph Apiata, 26, of Allenton, was sentenced to 80 hours of community work and six months supervision on charges of burglary, unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle and possessing cannabis. Apiata had already paid $400 of the $1235 he owes the victims of his crimes. Fines and enforcement fees totalling $3860 were remitted in return for 40 hours community work, to be served concurrently.

Daniel James Anderson, 26, of Ashburton, was sentenced to 60 hours of community work for twice breaching a home detention sentence.

Bridget Kiri Heke, 39, of Ashburton, was convicted and sentenced to 60 hours of community work on charges of burglary and receiving stolen property.

Aroha Wereta, 32, of Ashburton, was fined $600 on two charges of breaching a community work sentence. The sen-

Arrest warrants were issued for: Nicola Jane O’Reilly, Benjamin Galland, Logan Arthur Moulin, Joshua James Mong.

In brief Woman executed The US state of Georgia has executed its first woman in 70 years, despite an appeal for clemency by Pope Francis. Kelly Gissendaner, 47, made a statement and requested a prayer before she was put to death by lethal injection after a flurry of last minute appeals. “At 12.21 am (2.21pm AEST) the court-ordered execution of Kelly Gissendaner was carried out in accordance with state law,” said Gwendolyn Hogan, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Corrections. She was the first woman to be executed in the southern state since 1945, and the 16th nationwide since the Supreme Court re-established the death penalty in 1976. Gissendaner was sentenced to death after being found guilty of conspiring to murder her husband in 1997. - AFP

Call for global quotas Hungary has called for the United Nations to set global quotas on accepting migrants, saying it was unfair for Europe to take so many refugees fleeing Syria. Hungary, whose hardline approach on migrants has been widely criticised by other governments and rights activists, said it would make the proposal formally today at the United Nations. “We suggest that all major players should bear some burden. We should introduce some world quotas,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said. “The major sources of this

mass popular movement are countries which became unstable because of international political decisions. “They were not made only by Europe.” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who has criticised Hungary’s sealing of its borders, has called on Europeans to do more and has convened a meeting for today on the crisis. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is expected to take a hard line in the talks after ordering the construction of razor wire on his country’s borders to divert migrants. Almost 300,000 migrants have entered Hungary this year.

Most arrived to the European Union through porous Greece and are seeking to head to northern Europe, especially Germany, which has welcomed refugees fleeing abuses in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. “Europe is not in a shape to accept hundreds of thousands or even millions of economic migrants,” Szijjarto said. “There are clear European regulations saying that member-states have to defend the external borders,” he said. He hit back at criticism from Croatia, whose prime minister, Zoran Milanovic, yesterday called Hungary’s policy “totally unacceptable”.

Szijjarto said other countries including the United States the world’s top overall host nation of immigrants - has also constructed barriers on borders. “We have critics but no other suggestions, no other alternatives offered by the EU ministers,” he said. “We don’t do it for fun.” Szijjarto also called for the international community to step up funding for refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, the primary host countries for the four million people who have fled the civil war in Syria. - AFP

VW draws up refit plan for millions of cars Volkswagen has revealed a plan to refit millions of vehicles affected by a worldwide pollution-cheating scam, as its new chief vowed to act ruthlessly to overcome the “severest test” in the car giant’s history. The German government has given VW until October 7 to explain how it will resolve the scandal, which has rocked the industry and wiped 29 billion euros ($A47 billion), or 38 per cent, off VW’s market value in 10 days. Chief executive Matthias Mueller, who took over the Volkswagen steering wheel on Friday, told senior management that technical solutions would

be submitted in October. Once approved by the German authorities, Volkswagen would inform customers and arrange for the cars to be refitted, he said, according to remarks released by the firm. The carmaker later released a statement saying owners of the affected cars would be notified “in the next weeks and months”, adding that “all the brands concerned are going to create internet pages where clients will be able to follow developments”. Volkswagen, the world’s biggest carmaker by sales, has admitted up to 11 million diesel cars worldwide are fitted with

devices that can switch on pollution controls when they detect the car is undergoing testing. They then switch off the controls when the car is on the road, allowing it to spew out harmful levels of emissions. Mueller insisted the software was not activated in all 11 million vehicles, however, and the number of vehicles actually needing a refit would be fewer than that. Nevertheless, with the embattled carmaker facing incalculable costs and a potential tidal wave of litigation, Mueller described the crisis as “the severest test in (VW’s) history”. “There is no justification for

deception and manipulation,” the 62-year-old manager said. “The inconceivable misconduct that has come to light in Volkswagen over the past days pains me and angers me immensely.” VW’s upmarket subsidiary Audi and its Czech arm Skoda have admitted that more than three million of their vehicles are fitted with the suspect devices. Spanish unit Seat has said 700,000 of its cars were also equipped with the technology. A spokesman for VW’s trucks division said 1.8 million light commercial vehicles were involved. - AFP

Five million hectares of land around Uluru is set to be declared an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA), allowing traditional owners to better preserve sites of cultural significance. Once the IPA is declared today, the Anangu people will receive federal government funding to protect sacred sites, native plants and animals around the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. “We really want to teach the young ones how to look after the place properly and strongly ... to get out there and see all the water holes and important places,” traditional owner Janie Miama said. - AAP

No charges Irish republican leader Gerry Adams will not be charged in connection with the IRA murder of a Belfast mother of 10 in 1972, Northern Ireland’s state prosecutors have announced. Following a police investigation, the Public Prosecution Service said yesterday that the evidence against seven people including the Sinn Fein president was not strong enough to justify charges. Adams, who played a key role in the Northern Irish peace process, was arrested and questioned for four days in May 2014 over the abduction and murder of Jean McConville. The Irish Republican Army paramilitary group wrongly accused McConville of being an informer for the British army, but did not admit her murder until 1999. Her remains were found in 2003 on a beach. She had been shot in the head. - AFP

State of emergency Peru has declared a state of emergency in six provinces after protests over a big Chinese copper mining project left four people dead. The announcement means freedom of assembly is suspended and police can search homes without a warrant for 30 days. Armed forces will help police the affected southeastern region, the government said. Locals started protesting on Monday against the building of a mineral processing plant, complaining that it will contaminate their water and their crops. An earlier toll had put the number of dead at three. The mining project is located between the provinces of Cotabambas and Grau. - AFP

The past comes back to haunt you Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

ll too often a decision made for expediency today comes back to bite months or years down the track. And so it is with the Ashburton art and heritage centre café. Conditions agreed to as part of the complex’s resource consent imposed some pretty tight rules and regulations around the café. They determined operating hours and how it could let potential customers from passing traffic know they’d reached a coffee stop. It also banned patrons from using the outdoor area that would be perfect for al fresco dining. When resource consent conditions were agreed to there was an element of desperation around the Ashburton District council meeting table. The project had been a long time on the drawing board. It appeared to falter at every turn, costs were mounting with each delay and the community was losing faith. Those were grim days in the council’s history. Conditions were agreed to simply to get the project under way. With time, commonsense has prevailed around at least one of those, a ban on parking outside residences on Cameron and Wills streets during night time events in the building. Others, such as tough conditions around signage remain and this could well be the stumbling block in the search for a tenant. Imagine running a café where you were unable to advertise your business streetside; imagine having an outdoor area that no one was allowed to use? Together those conditions make the West Street café an unappealing prospect and yet in itself, it could be a tidy little business for an entrepreneur – captive customers from the gallery and museum and plenty of parking for passing travellers to stop, eat and sit in the sunshine. If they know you’re there. As a district, we’re supposed to be about encouraging and fostering business; here the council is doing its best to kill one off before it’s even started.

Ukraine: Peace at last? Gwynne Dyer

Has there been a change of tactics in the conflict in the Ukraine, asks London-based independent Canadian journalist, syndicated columnist and military historian Gwynne Dyer.

he current ceasefire in the war in eastern Ukraine, the so-called Minsk-2 agreement, was signed last February, but they never actually ceased firing. At least a thousand more people have been killed in the fighting since then, and on one night in August the monitors of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe recorded 175 separate ceasefire violations. On a visit to Kiev that week, British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that the conflict was “still red-hot” and that he could not see an end to the fighting “any time soon.” As late as September 11, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was condemning Russia’s “neoimperial aggression” in eastern Ukraine, where an estimated 9000 Russian soldiers are on the ground in support of the breakaway provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk. But then the music changed. When the annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) forum opened in Kiev on September 12, Poroshenko announced that the previous night had been the first in the whole conflict with no shelling. “This is not the end of the war,” he said, “but instead a change in tactics.” Maybe that’s all it is, but if it stops the shooting, that would certainly be a step in the right direction. And by and large the shooting really has stopped in the past two weeks, although there is no sign yet that Russian troops are leaving Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. Poroshenko claims that the shift in Russian tactics is merely a switch from military offensives in the east to political attacks intended to destabilise Ukraine “from the inside.” He was presumably referring to a grenade attack outside the parliament building in Kiev on August 31 that killed three soldiers and wounded more than one hundred people. But it’s very unlikely that Russia was behind it, and Poroshenko should know that. The demonstrators outside the parliament were from various extremist right-wing nationalist parties. Moreover, the proposed law they were protesting against was one that would change the constitution and give greater autonomy to the regions now held by

the separatists. It’s clear why Ukraininan ultra-nationalists would want to stop that, but why would Russia want to stop it? It was really Russian President Vladimir Putin who took the initiative to stop the fighting, although it was his local allies who declared that they would observe a complete ceasefire from September 1. Since the better-armed rebels, with Russian support when necessary, have consistently outfought Ukraine’s ill-trained forces – all the changes in the front line since the ceasefire have been rebel gains from Ukraine – it was the rebels who had to move first. They moved because Moscow has decided to freeze the conflict, which has now served its main purpose of saving Putin’s face. He was deeply embarrassed when the Ukrainians overthrew the pro-Russian president in Kiev 18 months ago. His illegal annexation of Crimea, like his encouragement and military support for the rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk, was partly motivated by his need to restore his political position in Russia. Having “lost” Ukraine, Putin also needed to ensure that

it didn’t become a base for Western influence, and maybe even NATO troops, on Russia’s southern border. The best way of doing that was to ensnare the new government in Kiev in a chronic low-level conflict with Russia that would cripple Ukraine’s economy and make Western governments very nervous about getting too close to it. Those goals are now accomplished. Ukraine has effectively lost three provinces (all with Russian-speaking majorities), and a permanent military stalemate between Kiev and its rebel-held provinces means that the likelihood of its ever joining the European Union or NATO is approximately zero. There is no need for further shooting, and Russia does have other fish to fry. Right through the conflict in Ukraine, Moscow has avoided doing other things that would alienate the West. It went on providing essential transit facilities for the American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan. It cooperated with the West in the negotiations that led to the agreement on limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It continues to transport Western astronauts to the International

Space Station, since they have no transport of their own. Putin never wanted a “new Cold War” that Russia would surely lose. The cost of the old Cold War broke the Soviet Union, and Putin’s Russia is much weaker. He just wanted to limit the options of a hostile Ukraine. Now that he has succeeded it’s time to freeze the situation – and both Poroshenko and his Western supporters have tacitly accepted that this is the least bad outcome. They took a poll of the assembled experts at the end of the YES conference earlier this month, asking what they thought Ukraine would look like three years from now. 53 per cent of the Ukrainian participants, and 58 per cent of the international guests, believed that it would see economic growth and stabilisation despite a contained, “frozen” conflict in the east. Only 3 per cent of each group believed that it would see “economic decline, destabilization, and a further loss of territory.” So move along, please, sir. There’s nothing more to see here.

■ COST OF AIR TRAVEL

Travellers win in low fares bonanza A price war being waged between New Zealand’s two main airlines has resulted in “a low fares bonanza” that appears set to continue into next year. Jetstar and Air New Zealand have been locking heads over domestic fares since the low-cost airline added Nelson, Napier, New Plymouth and Palmerston North to its domestic network. It sold 16,000 flights priced at $9 during the launch on August 31. Air NZ responded immediately by matching the $9 fares on its Grabaseat website. The new competition between the airlines – previously restricted to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown – resulted in air fares dropping across the country. And a month on, the cheap deals show no sign of abating. Price checks on both airlines’ websites show domestic oneway flights starting from between $35 and $89. Qantas-owned Jetstar is of-

fering the cheapest deals from Auckland to New Plymouth and Auckland to Palmerston North for just $35. Air NZ has matched its budget competitor on $49 Auckland to Wellington flights. A Jetstar spokesman said Kiwi domestic travellers were enjoying “a low fares bonanza” thanks its regional expansion. “Services are continuing to sell well, particularly prior to Christmas,” he said. In the last financial year, more than 70 per cent of Jetstar’s do-

A man fired after racking up a $23,000 bill on his work phone and returning to work late from a holiday was justifiably dismissed, the Employment Relations Authority has found. The Mighty River Power employee, who cannot be named because his wife’s name is suppressed, was on a three-week holiday in Sri Lanka when he generated the gigantic phone bill on his company cellphone _ most of which was due to roaming data charges. He was charged around $6 for international phone calls and texts, with the rest of the charges came from 1.5GB of roaming data. The data was used on various applications, including iTunes, Facebook, Amazon, Google, Snapchat, Instagram, Gmail, Akamai and Dropbox.

An analyst who reviewed the data use information described it as “quite consistent” and suggested it was due to apps syncing in the background, rather than normal internet browsing. Upon returning to New Zea-

land, the employee was confronted by his boss about the data use and also for arriving back to work a day late and driving a company car while only having had a few hours of sleep. He was dismissed from his job and made a complaint with the ERA. The ERA determined his dismissal was justified due to his late arrival back at work and his failure to inform his supervisor. However, it found his phone use was due to “ignorance and inadvertence” and did not constitute serious misconduct. The ERA found the nature of his dismissal was unfair, and he was not given a fair chance to explain the bill. The company was ordered to pay him $6000 in compensation for “loss of dignity and injury to his feelings”. - NZME

Jailed businessman denied parole A Christchurch businessman jailed for a $103 million fraud that funded a lavish jet-setter’s lifestyle has been denied parole. The parole board, when considering Gavin Bennett’s case, said it could not be satisfied that the fraudster wouldn’t pose an undue risk to the safety of the community until a “safety plan” about his release was prepared. Bennett, the former owner of IT firm DataSouth, in 2012 admitted being behind the wide-

ranging Ponzi-style scheme, which included a $23 million fraud against South Canterbury Finance. He was caught by one of the Serious Fraud Office’s largest investigations and later sentenced to eight years’ jail with a minimum non-parole period of three and a half years. He made his first appearance before a parole board earlier this month, where he was supported by his ex-wife and adult daugh-

ter, who he proposed to live with when leaving prison. The parole board described Bennett’s conduct in prison as “above reproach” and said he had been working in the garden. Bennett was ashamed of what he had done and took responsibility for his offending, the board said. But there remained questions in the mind of the board about Bennett’s insight to his offending. - NZME

■ DAIRY INDUSTRY

■ SILVER FERN FARMS

Protecting sharemilkers

Farmers urged to look at options

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

Mid Canterbury rural professionals are encouraging dairy farmers to look at a range of options to support sharemilkers through the current dairy downturn. Tavendale and Partners lawyer Tim Silva said recent lifts in the farmgate payout was good news for dairy farmers, but the majority would still struggle to break even this season. Lower order sharemilkers in particular will be hit hard, with insufficient equity in the business to raise money against. Collaring and capping arrangements with sharemilkers could help to keep them afloat, Mr Silva said. “This means the farm owner makes sure the sharemilker gets a minimum payout, but if there was a much higher payout then the sharemilkers return is capped so the super profit goes back to the farm owner,” Mr Silva said. “It’s softening the blow at the bottom end but providing a cap for the farm owner taking the risk.” Mr Silva said it was crucial from an industry perspective to retain this generation of sharemilkers. “They are in many respects the future of the industry and need to be encouraged to hang in there,” Mr Silva said. “If you look at the dairy progression ladder, sharemilking is a crucially important step, and we do it very well in New Zealand but not internationally. “They start as employees and work through to sharemilking – where they are running their own business. Not only do they have to be good managers, they have to be good busi-

ness operators as well. “They have to handle employees, production and cost as well, that’s a fantastic inherent breeding ground for the skills required to be a good dairy farmers. “Historically, it’s been a great way to grow capital but if they can’t see their way through that after recouping this year’s and last year’s loses then we will lose those people.” Relocating costs between a farm owner and a sharemilker would artificially remove the sharemilker from some of the cost-versus-production realities that owners are facing. “If the farmer rejigs the proportion of costs in a sharemilking agreement it can artificially insulate the sharemilker from decisions around the impact of cost. Sometimes you have to do some of these things, but if you can make sure the sharemilking arrangement endures there’s benefits

to be had in the medium term.” Opening the opportunity for sharemilkers to raise more calves than their contract permits is another option. “There are all sorts of options that flow from that – the stock could be taken through and eventually leased back to the farm owner, or leased to someone else,” Mr Silva said. “That’s more of a long-term relationship, but the sharemilker could also sell the young stock eventually.” There could be a future demand for replacement stock in the wake of this season’s heavy cow cull if farmers decide to ramp up production when the price lifts. “It’s not a silver bullet but it could create a bit more income for sharemilkers,” he said. Paid up Fonterra shareholders could also pass on part of the interest free loan to help cover costs.

Activist farmer-shareholders in Dunedin-based Silver Fern Farms have urged other farmers to hold off voting on Shanghai Maling Aquarius’ offer to inject $261 million into the company until an alternative proposal had been evaluated. South Island shareholders Allan Richardson and John Cochrane said shareholders should attend shareholder roadshows and ask questions of the board, but should not vote early on the proposal as further options were likely. Mr Richardson declined to identify who the competing party was. Earlier this month, South Island businessman John Rodwell said a number of agribusiness companies had clubbed together with an offer to underwrite a rights issue aimed at Silver Fern’s farmer shareholders. Mr Richardson said “concrete” alternatives to the Shanghai Maling offer were likely to emerge within the offer period. Farmers can vote on the offer electronically in the lead-up to the October 16 special meeting in Dunedin. “All we are saying is delay your vote,” Mr Richardson said. “There is plenty of time to place your vote, but use the time available to evaluate options.” It was likely another option capable of preserving co-operative ownership and control would be forthcoming before voting closed. The original reason for the capital raise has been promoted as the company not being a bankable proposition, Mr Cochrane said. “The strong operating fundamentals and significant paydown of debt over the last three years suggests that the bank’s reluctance to refinance is less about the banking proposition itself and more about members of the banking syndicate wanting to exit the syndicate,” he said. “Silver Fern Farms is not only bankable but provides a genuinely attractive investment proposition. Why else are foreign investors seeking control?,” Cochrane said. Both men have been active in trying to get Silver Fern Farms and neighbouring Alliance Group to consider a merger rather than bring in foreign capital and dilute farmer ownership of the co-operative. - NZME

■ TINWALD SALE

Milk price scheme to be ditched Prices hold steady at Tinwald sale Fonterra will ditch its controversial guaranteed milk price (GMP) scheme at the end of the current season. The scheme was first offered as a pilot in the 2013/14 season and has continued through to the current season. It is currently set at $5.25 a kg compared with Fonterra’s latest farmgate forecast of $4.60 a kg.

“It is fair to say GMP has had a mixed reaction from our farmers,” said Paul Grave, Fonterra’s head of co-operative affairs, Waikato. “While some have used it to smooth out on-farm incomes, others felt it did not treat all farmers equally and fairly.” Grave said some farmers will be looking for price management tools to help them with volatility in milk prices. - NZME

A large yarding of quality lambs saw prices hold steady on last week’s prime sheep sale at Tinwald. Prime ewe prices were also on par with recent sales. Heavy woolly lambs made $130-$140,

medium weights $115-$128 and lighter lambs $100-$110. A line of medium weight hoggets fetched $80-$102. Heavy woolly ewes made $117-$124, medium weights $86$99 and lighter sheep $64-$74.

■ MGA

Iconic and enduring marque S

ixty years ago almost to the day, MG announced a new model, the MGA, which represented a complete styling change from their previous iconic British sports cars. Two weeks ago MGA owners from around the country gathered in New Plymouth to celebrate the diamond anniversary of the model they are understandably enthusiastic about. Local couple Warwick and Juliana Protheroe and their friend Neil Manchester from Timaru made the trip north. Neil’s car was previously owned by Warwick and Juliana, who bought it many years ago after it had been languishing in a shed in Christchurch for many years. Getting the car out was a bit of a challenge, because other

Bernard Egan MOTORING

things were stored around it and a wall had been built. After moving stuff and doing a bit of demolition, Warwick managed to extract the car, which needed refurbishing. Some preparatory work was undertaken, but after several years the car was sold to Neil Manchester who completed the restoration. Neil’s car is one the early models off the production line. It was sent from the factory to the Invercargill Motor Show, and is thought to have the disAshburton’s Warwick Protheroe and Neil Manchester from Timaru, preparing to head off to New Plymouth.

tinction of being the first MGA sold new by an MG dealer in the South Island, and possibly New Zealand. Warwick and Juliana remained interested in MGAs, and about 10 years ago they purchased another one. Their car is a 1960 model with a 1600cc motor. The Protheroes and their A group of classics outside the landmark Whangamomona Hotel. friend Neil said the gathering in PHOTO WARWICK PROTHEROE

New Plymouth, which attracted about 70 people in 37 cars, was a great way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the MGA. Despite inclement weather, participants enjoyed driving on interesting roads as well as sharing good social time during a superbly organised event. Members of the MG Club refer to their group as the “Marque of Friendship”, and

Warwick says the New Plymouth experience was confirmation of that. The Protheroes were intrigued to attend a celebration dinner at “Juliana’s” Restaurant. Hearing the Protheroes and their friend Neil describe how well theirs and other people’s cars performed, and about the fun they all had, it’s no wonder MGAs are so popular.

Always ahead of her time Val raced in her younger days when it was rare for ladies to compete. Val was proud of all her de-

scendants, and encouraged them in their chosen careers and activities. Her interest in motor sport continued and has been passed on. Sons Rod and Tom, grandson Andrew and great grandson Hunter have all made a name for themselves on the race track. A dedicated environmentalist who was well in tune with nature, Val always recognised the

beauty of our surroundings. She willingly shared her extensive knowledge with others. Val spent her early years on her parents’ farm near Windwhistle, the property remains in the family. After their marriage she and Howard moved to Ashburton. Following Howard’s passing Val returned to the area where she had grown up spending time between her cha-

let on the farm and her delightful natural wood home in Darfield. Val immersed herself in all the communities where she lived and was always keen to hear about the many friends she made along the way and the organisations with which she was associated.

www.guardianonline.co.nz Ashburton County Lions Odd shoes (raising money for Camp Quality) were the theme of the night at the September tea meeting of the Ashburton County Lions. The prize for the most unusual shoe combination going to Lillian Wakelin. District Governor Fern Blake, a member of our club, then spoke to the meeting on the Lions Clubs International Foundation and their work in providing funding for measles vaccination programmes, SightFirst projects and relief following natural disasters around the world. She looked ahead to her year as District Governor and introduced her theme of “Lions make it Happen”. D G Fern then presented membership chevrons to seven members for service ranging from 10 to 25 years and a 20years 100% attendance pin was presented to Jackie Ryan. Members brought along items suitable as gifts for women and these will be forwarded to Presbyterian Support in recognition of World Service Day. Donations were approved in support of the Blind foundation Red Puppy Appeal, Camp Quality South, Ashburton College Citizenship and Community Service Prize, Lloyd Morgan Lions Club Charitable Trust and NZ Child Mobility Fund. Following the general business the night ended with fun and laughter as the tail twisters told their stories and issued fines to unsuspecting members.

Ashburton Electronic Organ and Keyboard Club Lorraine welcomed. Smaller group than usual [I hope the cold and flu has not struck our members] and thanked Rose who played us in. she then passed us over to Margaret and Jackie who arranged a very enjoyable evening. Bernard was first up on the organ with “Out of the Blue Gums” “A Shanty in old Shanty Town, “finishing with “Hot Diggity” a real toe Tapper. We then had Rose, Audrey, and Fairlie on the piano. These three ladies are amazing, you hear of duets but I’m sure this is the only Trio many of us have seen and heard. “Humoreske” “Minuet” and “Le Secret” sounded wonderful. Next were a Trio who entertain at Rosebank; Margaret piano, Frank piano accordion and Noel the singer and I’m sure we all enjoyed the sing-a-long as much as the Oldies after all as Noel reminded us we are all likely to be there someday. Lorraine then told the story of “It’s in the Book” where do you find these tales? Michael then gave us a mixture of melodies on his keyboard” My girl” “La Paloma” “Love is in the Air”. The Singing Group” sang “All His Children” “ I Don’t see me”, Beautiful harmony, Another story from Lorraine “The Ballad of William Bloat” Ann then gave us “Simple Gifts” “Seize the Day” which bought another great night of entertainment by some of our very talented friends, to a close

Ashburton Horticultural Society President Joy Jaine welcomed members to the September meeting on a very fine evening. Speaker Nancy Ridder brought along some lovely and unusual plants mainly of the alpine variety and described the extreme care needed when propagating by seed. A lot of patience and attention to detail is required to grow these successfully but Nancy obviously has a great love for these types of plants. There was a very good display of daffodils

and camellias on the Show Table. Table Show results were: Pat Tarbotton 8 firsts, 3 seconds, 1 third, Brian Glassey 7, 3, 3, Surrey Lamont 4, 0, 1 Anne Gamblin 3 1 , 2 , Shona Thomas 2 10, 8 , Dorothy Broome 2, 2 ,0, Joy Jaine 1 3 5, Norm McDowell 0, 2 1.

Next Ladies Craft day at Rona Evans, Lochlea. Evening closed with National Anthem.

Cavendish Club We were well entertained by Brian and Arthur, who are Courtiers, from Molyneux who reside and work from their home in Woodbury. Brian told us of his life in England, before coming to Auckland to live and his work life from then until now. He spoke of the many famous people he has dressed. He then ably assisted by Arthur, showed us the ranges of clothing he has made from both recycled and amazingly beautiful new fabrics for the parents/ grandparents of the bride and groom or other special occasion clothing. We were then invited to ask questions of Brian and further investigate the fabrics used in the garments. Friday September 4 Cavendish 88th Birthday Luncheon – 28 members met at Clubrooms where all went by cars to Lake Hood and were joined by 2 members from S.C. Women’s Club.

Despite the unusually cold weather members displayed a beautiful array of blooms. Results were: Grigg Club (most points daffodils) Jennifer Hunt Murdoch Trophy (most points cut flowers) Yvonne Mathews Ainsley Rountree Trophy for best camellia Yvonne Mathews Champion Bloom Daffodils Sandra Grant Premier Bloom Judith Hughes Travel Club An interesting afternoon with Richard Conway on the Travel Industry. Retiring 4 years ago, having begun 54 years before as the office boy. Worked in Christchurch and Wellington Travel Bureau, then came to Ashburton in 1973. Travelled extensively around the world to be able to tell his customers first-hand about other countries, South Africa, United Kingdom and United States - some

we always have. The tables were beautifully set and looked really festive. Ayleen and Joy were thanked for donating and icing the birthday cake. The cake was cut by Ida Hessell, a former president and Ann Rennie, a former secretary. Hope McIntosh played the piano while we sang the R.S.A. song and Happy Birthday to those celebrating in September. Sympathy was extended to those who have sadly lost a loved one. Sick members were wished a speedy recovery. A representative from Geraldine and Temuka thanked the Women’s Section for the invitation to attend the function. Ida Hessell expressed her pleasure at being able to attend. Lanae and Bruce Hill then entertained us. The programme was varied, including some original songs from their CD. Sammy, a young lady aged 12, has a strong voice. She sang confidently, The Hills’ granddaughter. Libby joined in the singing. Everyone showed their appreciation. The entertainers were thanked for coming. Raffles: several draws, were won by those with the lucky numbers. Members were thanked in advance for baking for the cake stall at the RSA Garage Sale on Saturday 26. Afternoon tea concluded a lovely occasion.

Ashburton Woodworkers Bryan Ching welcomed 23 members to the September meeting, advising us that this would be our last meeting at the college, where we have been for almost eight years. We have been very fortunate to have had the use of these facilities and thanks to Chris Thompson for looking after the members. The President informed us that the official opening would be on October 17 at the Plains village. Show and Tell: Kevin Challis a three legged saucer. Geoff Brown several laburnum vases. Ken Neale three pyrograph pictures. David Ford a beech burl bowl and a swamp kauri vase. Bruce Ferriman two macrocarpa off-centre bowls. Ian Harding four apple free forms. Clarrie Brake a disc from the base of seaweed, surprisingly hard. Roger Scammell walnut bowl and macrocarpa saucer. Peter Ireland a large black painted vase. George Spencer ash mallet and a kauri bowl. Les Mattingley three matching trophy cups. Dave Busby elm and two walnut bowls Wim Melchers three bowls, ash, maple and one painted. Dave Busby demonstrated turning a basic bowl, using his home made screw chuck to hold the wood. He showed us his very first bowl he ever made and compared it to what he makes now, and how the shape has developed over the hundreds he has turned out. It’s all to do with shape and needs to be pleasing to the eye. After using several gauges Dave finished off the outside with a scraper. Thanks Dave for an informative demonstration.

There was a good attendance for the September meeting, Wilma Breading took the chair as our President was unwell. Greetings were given to members that were celebrating birthdays etc. The movie for next month is on October 7 at the Regent Theatre “Walk in the Woods” at 11 am. Members were reminded about the Xmas Meeting lunch to be held at “The Panthers Rock” Mayfield Tavern. We had a Question and Answer time where 3 of our members, Nancy Costin, Sue Power and Penny Rowe gave us an interesting talks about their life. Following morning tea Wilma read several poems written by Jim Morris. Our main speaker was Roger Farr from the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. He told us about himself and his involvement in the running of the new centre. As the old Regent Theatre was very old and needed repairing a Trust was formed to fund raise for building a new event centre which cost $8 million to build. He spoke about the different kinds of shows, productions, meetings and conferences that are able to be held at the centre. With the help of an Annual grant from the Council the centre is running very well. There is seating for 500 people with several staff and about 20 voluntaries that help from gardening to ushering. Wilma thanked Roger for his time and information. The meeting closed at 11.30 am. The next meeting is on October 19 at 9.45 am a week early.

Waireka Croquet Club Everyone now back on the Greens when the weather allows. Been a little up and down but still managing to get some play. Opening Day was great with approximately 40 players enjoying their day. This was followed by “Have A Go Day’ where 10 interested parties turned up – some of whom are continuing coaching on Tuesday evenings. Gala Day in Timaru was attended by 7 from Waireka – a good day and a good turnout. Competitions by the Golf Croquet sector are already arranged and will be started shortly – Association croquet not far behind. Four of our Golf Croquet players are attending the Masters Games in Nelson this week – all the best team – enjoy yourselves. Greg Bryant from CNZ is holding coaching days this week at Waireka for Association Croquet ranging from Juniors on Monday to the Gold Contingent Wednesday/ Thursday. All worthwhile and we appreciate Greg’s time and commitment to the sport. Our 15 year old Edmund Fordyce has won the honour of being included in the N.Z. Squad as a wild card to play in the World Championship Association Croquet Tournament to be held in Florida April 2016. Congratulations must go to this young lad who continues to impress all who see him play, whether it is Golf Croquet or Association. He has tremendous ability in all aspects of the game and we look forward to seeing him display his talents at this prestigious event. Exciting stuff. Will catch up again next month.

In brief Naholo in, Nonu out Waisake Naholo will take centre stage when he plays Georgia at the Millennium Stadium following the recovery of his broken leg, but a shoulder injury means Ma’a Nonu will have to wait a week before he has the chance to celebrate his 100th test. As expected, Naholo will start in the No14 jersey, but Nonu is a surprise absentee through injury. Niggles picked up by Colin Slade, Beauden Barrett and Liam Messam were always going to put them in doubt for what is likely to be a physical match, but there was no indication this week that midfielder Nonu was in doubt. He has been replaced by Sonny Bill Williams, with Steve Hansen having to name two halfbacks - Tawera Kerr-Barlow and TJ Perenara - on the reserves bench. - NZME

The Mid Canterbury Under 13 boys’ and girls’ hockey teams are set to pit their skills against the country’s best in Timaru and Palmerston North respectively. The two teams will look to follow in the same vein of form as the under 15 boys’ team, who

have qualified for the quarterfinals of their national competition in Wellington. Girls’ coach Courtney Cannan said her players have set a goal of making the top eight, and is confident her team will perform well in the Collier Trophy. The under 13 boys will contest the Hatch Cup and have

shown good improvement in recent matches. After losing 2-0 and 1-0 to Canterbury B, James Tavendale’s side held the Cantabs to a 1-1 draw in their third encounter, before notching a 2-1 win over the old enemy. Tavendale believes his young team have the credentials to cause upsets and is expecting

some strong performances. “I think they’re capable of causing some upsets, they’re a really fit and fast team, pace is definitely the feature,” he said. “We’ve also got a really good goalie, who’s playing in his third year at the tournament, Jacob Gray, and that certainly helps.” Both tournaments will begin on Monday.

Seafield Rural Women – September Meeting

Lynnford Rural Women New Zealand

On a lovely sunny September afternoon eight members of the Seafield Rural Women met at St Pauls Lounge for our meeting. We were welcomed by Elizabeth who was taking the meeting for the month. The ladies were congratulated for being loyal to meetings which gave us the reward of getting the Hilda Moore Tray again at the Provincial AGM. One member is having a birthday this month plus Lois Bradley has been awarded Life Membership of Garden Club. Motto for the meeting was: The more we co-operate the better we operate. All business was dealt with plus cars and runners were listed for Octobers Meals on Wheels. Six members went to the Provincial AGM and enjoyed their day out with the interesting speakers that they had. When all business was dealt with the meeting was handed over to Karen Young who told how she started working on the life of her Mother in law Betty Young’s 100 years. She collated all the photos and memories shared by Betty then put everything on the computer then worked through snapfish to make up a book. One book has been donated to the Family History part of the Museum plus two copies have gone to the Library. Karen also brought along another book she had done about a holiday they had by Princess Line to Antarctica. Karen was thanked with a gift after answering questions then we closed the meeting with a social time.

Members met at the Heritage Centre, our meeting took place in the Genealogy Room, and Marilyn Ellis spoke about Genealogy group which was formed in 1981 with the object of preserving local records and creating a regional archive, making the records available to family historians and researchers. Michael Sheathe was introduced. He is the convenor of the group and when the group began meetings at St Joseph, Menorlue plus three other place before finally having spacer allocated at the Heritage centre In the local records reference section they hold cemetery transcripts, school indexes, church records and electoral rolls which cannot be borrowed but are freely available during library hours. Once births, deaths and marriages could be accessed at the Court House but now they are all held in Wellington. Funeral service sheets are also filed for future information and with the Ashburton District Council, County Council and Borough Council all amalgamating into one all records are now in the Heritage Centre. Should anyone want to research something, the information would be available with help from the group. A full report was given of the Annual Meeting Of the Provincial, a very full day, with our President Sandra Curd presenting her first Annual Report, it was amazing to see the many and varied meetings that had been held. Winchmore’s best branch report was read

by Margaret Verrall, this was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Lynnford received the International Bell for our interesting international meeting with Shaun Lovell speaking on Afghanistan. Members will meet at Marion‘s 28 Carters Terrace, at 9-30am on the 1st October for coffee and a short meeting prior to our visit at 9 Carters Terrace at 10-30am.

RURAL WOMEN REPORTS Anama Rural Women Well-known local artist Ngaio McKee gave Anama Rural Women some intriguing and inspirational insights into her life as an artist at the September meeting in Jeannette and Murray Early’s home. Not only did Ngaio display a range of her watercolour and acrylic works but she had also branched out into prints and cards as part of her ever-extending desire to try something different. From an early age and with little art experience, she was always keen to “have a go” and persevered with night school and correspondence classes till she reached university standard. From there she found herself conducting classes at Menorlue for many years. Ngaio still takes groups into the high country to share and sometimes advise while capturing the magnificence of the Mid Canterbury district. Still life with flowers is also a favourite subject. Her interest in the Ashburton Society of Arts and exhibitions at the Short Street gallery was obvious as was her dedication to art and to her passion for always trying something new. After Ngaio’s much appreciated talk members discussed the annual disbursement of donations to community groups in the Mayfield – Mt Somers area. The branch’s major fund raising comes from catering for the Mayfield Lions and this is recycled back into the community. Members were reminded of Provincial meeting on October 2 and Meals on Wheels delivery on October 7.

Winchmore Rural Women – September 2015 A smaller group than normal of 13 plus one visitor met for our meeting at the Winchmore Hall. Desserts were on the menu, members bought along their favourite dessert to share with members and each one was introduced by the creator and they were then consumed by those present with a cup of tea and the fellowship of each other’s company. The branch had been successful at the recent AGM gaining a number of trophies. The branch will enter the A & P Show in a number of areas and arrangements were discussed. The branch is to host a ‘Come as you are Luncheon’ for all farmers and farm workers in our district in October and a leaflet drop will be made to all homes in the area to encourage participation. Meals on Wheels will be undertaken on the 6th October helpers are required. For our October meeting on 21st October at the hall 7.30pm we will have a speaker from Palliative Care/Hospice and all ladies in the District are most welcome to attend.

Brisbane assistant coach Kevin Walters says the Broncos can’t win Sunday’s NRL grand final unless halves Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford are on song. Clearly unafraid to shovel pressure on the shoulders of the dynamic young pairing, Walters said they can’t afford to slip even marginally at ANZ Stadium as they square off against North Queensland’s superstar skipper Johnathan Thurston and the man who this year emerged as his ideal foil, Michael Morgan. “If they don’t play well on Sunday then the Broncos will lose, there is no doubt about that,” Walters said. - AAP

ABs boost Gatland BY PATRICK MCKENDRY

had received from home, Gatland said: “I’ve got so many I’m sort of dreading the thought of answering them. It’s going to take me hours. “The support has been fantastic, particularly from friends and family particularly back in New Zealand and I saw the All Blacks press conference as well and I think the comments some of those players I think it was Wyatt Crockett - made. “He said it was pretty

Wales coach Warren Gatland has joked about how he is dreading having to respond to all the well-wishing texts and calls from New Zealand following his team’s World Cup victory over England at Twickenham. And he also revealed yesterday that the comments by the All Blacks in the aftermath of Wales’ 28-25 victory, which puts the Red Dragons on course for a top-two spot in the “Pool of Death”, had been “uplifting”. Gatland, a former All Blacks hooker, hasn’t always had the closest of relationships with his former team since his move abroad but he clearly appreciated the respect shown by his countrymen, who play Georgia in Cardiff on Saturday NZT, a day after Wales play Fiji in the city. Asked in a packed press conference about the supportive messages he Warren Gatland

inspiring watching that so that’s huge for us and it’s pretty uplifting as well.” Crockett, speaking from the team’s central Cardiff hotel a day after Wales’ victory, said: “I love watching a team play under that sort of pressure and dealing with all the injuries. “Watching them fight it out, really scrap that game out was inspiring. “Hopefully we can have that sort of result if anything like that happens to us. “I’m sure the Welsh boys will look back on that match with pride and they will certainly be a tough team to beat.” Gatland added of the support from within Wales: “I had a look online at a couple of things and to just see the celebrations in Wales and people in rugby clubs and pubs and streets, it was phenomenal, and just

show what rugby means to the nation of Wales. “We got a massive lift seeing those reactions. It was one of the things we said when we left the hotel - ‘let’s make a nation proud’ - and I think the boys did that.” The task for Gatland and Wales is to maintain focus as they prepare for Fiji at the Millennium Stadium. A victory would almost guarantee them a quarter-final spot and there is a belief from within that they can go further than at the last World Cup in New Zealand when they lost skipper Sam Warburton to a red card for a tip-tackle in the first half of their semi-final against France but lost only 9-8. Gatland said Kiwi first-five or fullback Gareth Anscombe, brought into the squad this week, wasn’t considered for the Fiji match due to his ongoing recovery from an ankle injury, but should be available for the team’s final pool match against Australia. - NZME

Ticket prices rocket Tickets for the ‘Pool of Death’ clash between England and Australia at Twickenham have been selling for record prices of almost $NZ10,000 each. Resale website Viagogo says demand for the match on Sunday NZ time has overtaken the annual Wimbledon tennis tournament and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, with the previous record for any non-final ticket standing at almost $NZ6000. The Category A tickets have a a face value of $754. - NZME

Tongans bounce back There’s something about having their backs to the wall that brings out the best in Tonga. They showed that in 2011 when, after losing to Canada, they bounced back with wins over Japan and then France. They are on a similar trajectory in 2015, having opened their campaign with a loss to Georgia, they rebounded strongly in defeating Namibia. Their only hope of making it through the pool is to beat the Pumas and then hope they can grab a bonus point against the All Blacks. - NZME

England drop Burgess Jonathan Joseph will be hurried back into England’s midfield for the do-or-die showdown with Australia on Saturday, with Sam Burgess sacrificed to create space for his Bath team-mate. England were criticised for failing to capitalise on first-half dominance against Wales and have responded with another reshuffle of their centres. - NZME

■ MURPHY/CHAMPION TEAM

Racing team finds a new home By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Two weeks ago horse trainers Kezia Murphy and Danny Champion were looking at a future that could have seen them and their team of horses homeless. Today, however, the pair are smiling. For 10 years they’d lived and trained horses from a property leased from the Ashburton District Council by the Ashburton Racing Club. They paid rent for their home, land and stables, and like many other trainers also paid fees to use the Ashburton racecourse track for training. A stoush erupted between the trainers and Ashburton Racing Club’s committee, resulting in the pair being told their lease was terminated and they needed to find a new home. It also resulted in three committee members - past president Gilbert Butterick, vice president Rob Harnett and member Nev-

ille Prendergast - resigning from the committee. For Butterick and Prendergast the conflict brought a clash of interests – they believed the club was being heavy handed - but the Murphy-Champion pairing also trained horses they owned. Harnett did not have horses with the trainers, his walkout was a matter of principle. The three were adamant their support lay with the trainers and since then have gone out of their way to help them set up in a new establishment. On Sunday Murphy and Champion packed up their home and moved to a property in town. On Sunday they’ll be packing up their training establishment and leading horses from one side of Golf Links Road to the other, to a newly-established base on land bordering the Ashburton Golf Course. That’s meant starting from scratch, building fences, outdoor shelters and installing water

troughs, Murphy said, but the support of the three ex-committee members and several others meant the work was almost completed, she said. “It’s exciting; it’s now looking pretty cool. “Gilbert’s been amazing; he’s basically taken control of the project.” With a neighbouring barn being converted to a tie-up stable, Murphy said the new property was shaping up to be a perfect training base. “The only difference is we’re living off site, but in some ways that’s good. “It means when we’re finished at the end of the day we go home, we don’t keep going out and doing jobs.” They will continue to use the Ashburton track for training. “Absolutely nothing changes for our owners. And there’s been no interruption to training while this has been happening. “We’ve kept the ship sailing

and everything else has happened around it.” Champion and Murphy are the largest thoroughbred training establishment in the Ashburton District, and it was touch and go whether they would have stayed in the district. The offer of land from neighbour Robbie Bell clinched the deal to stay local, Murphy said. The fallout between club and trainers had its base in what they saw as the club’s failure to carry out maintenance work around the stables and grounds. They were given an eviction notice in early June. Earlier club president David Jones said he did not want to get into a public battle over the rights and wrongs of the eviction. When the dust had settled over the eviction, Mr Jones said the racing club would take another look at the property and decide where to from here. It could be re-let or it could be sold, he said.

Mosse ready to return A team effort has the talented Mosse ready to resume his interrupted career at Hastings on Saturday. The JMark Donoghue-trained seven-year-old, who has five wins and three placings from his 10 starts, will return to racing in the Linwood Park Stud Sprint. “He’s in a much better space than he was starting off his campaign last year,” Bell said. “Mark has done a tremendous job with him, as have all the staff, and it will be quite a thrill to see him back. I’m sure he’ll run a positive race.” - NZME

Change of plans Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs have had a change of mind with Volkstok’n’barrell and will now run the four-year-old at Flemington on Sunday. The Ruakaka trainers had originally intended to bypass the Gr.1 Turnbull Stakes, but they have decided on a quick back-up. Volkstok’n’barrell finished fifth in last Saturday’s Gr.1 Underwood Stakes with a performance that pleased Logan. - NZME

McKee considers options The Sothys 2000 Guineas may come up too soon for What’s The Story, but Stephen McKee has a lucrative Group One alternative. The Savabeel colt made a winning debut over 1200m at Ruakaka esterday off three trial outings. “He’s got a bit of quality and he would need to get a rattle on for the 2000 Guineas, but there is the Derby to think of,” said McKee, who prepares the three-year-old with Eddie Chippendale. - NZME

Scholarships now open Applications are open for the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Sunline Trust Scholarships. The International Management Scholarship, sponsored by the Sunline Education Trust, offers work experience at three of the world’s premier farms - Cheveley Park Stud in England, Coolmore Stud in Ireland and Taylor Made in the United States. The second scholarship is to the Irish National Stud at Kildare to attend a fivemonth Diploma Course. - NZME

Eyes on the prize Spiker has already been stakes placed at Riccarton and he is in line for a return south with a bigger prize in mind. The Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas is his main goal with the three-year-old to make a low key opening to his classic preparation on his home track at Waverley today. Spiker will resume against the older horses in the Markhams Waverley 1200 with trainer Bill Thurlow expecting a solid, if not spectacular return. - NZME

Trans-Tasman double? Melbourne racing enthusiast Lindsay de Souza will have major interests on both sides of the Tasman this weekend. He is a partowner of the Group One winner Turn Me Loose, who will make his Australian debut in the Paris Lane Stakes at Flemington on Sunday, while he will also have two black type chances at Hastings the previous day. De Souza will be represented by Let Her Rip and Sally’s Mustang in the Gr.3 Hawke’s Bay Breeders’ Gold Trail Stakes. - NZME

The Jennian Ashburton Swim Team produced some strong performances at the South Island championships at the Moana Pool in Dunedin over the weekend. The 11 local swimmers returned with 21 medals in all, and coach Shane Jones was pleased with his team’s effort. “It was an awesome way to finish the

winter season, it was an excellent meet all round,” he said. “Jarred Scammell did really well. “It was probably the highest calibre of meet he’s been to, and he produced some huge personal bests.” Jones said Bailey Tait also swam well, while Aimee Elliot and Lucy Clough are returning to their best form in the distance events.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Locke heading to the Storm? Troubled former Warrior Kevin Locke has been released from his English rugby league club Wakefield and is now being linked to the Melbourne Storm. Club chairman Michael Carter confirmed Locke’s departure in the English media yesterday after completing an investigation into an off-field incident concerning the former New Zealand international. Locke was dropped by Wakefield earlier this month alongside team-mates Reece Lyne and Tim Smith. That came

after Smith was charged by police with failing to provide a sample for analysis and driving without due care and attention following an incident in Hull. Carter revealed that Locke has now left the club and is expected to take up a deal with Melbourne next year. “Kevin won’t play for the Wildcats again,” said Carter. “I’m led to believe Kevin is back in Australia already, so let’s face it, he was never going to be playing this weekend regardless.” - NZME

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTIONS

Ashburton Guardian

1/10

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your teachers come in many forms: friends, parents, colleagues, bosses, children, enemies. Some showed you what to do; others showed you what not to do. Apply what you’ve learned today. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re forte today is your ability to plan well. You’ll send your mind as far ahead of you as you can so that when you’re doing your thing you can stick as close to “now” as possible. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When your friends are happy, you are happy for them, regardless of the other emotions you may be experiencing. When it’s your turn to share about your happiness, anyone who can’t join you is suspect. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re feeling assertive. Ask (very nicely) for the experience you’d like. It is possible that people’s behaviour will change to accommodate that experience. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When it doesn’t work out, your tendency is to blame yourself, if only because you’re the only one you have some amount of control over. It’s not your fault, but you’ll definitely learn from assuming the responsibility. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re gathering facts, figures, evidence, inspiration — all the things you need to move forward with your project. The better you know your subject the better your work will turn out. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If it’s a show they want (and it is), then a show you will give them! You’ll do this the classy, understated and elegant way your sign usually does things. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): An unglamorous task is for the taking. This is a hidden gem with numerous benefits to the one who claims the job. There won’t be much competition for it. So why not you? SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your heart is a locating device that can get you to the kinds of strangely beautiful places that cannot be mapped with longitudinal coordinates. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Some days it benefits you to deal with reality. But today you’re better off imposing your reality. You’re so headstrong it’s likely the others will go along with your version. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Strong personalities are part of the day’s mix. There is no one right way to interact here. Stay flexible and alert. Sometimes you’re the shaper; sometimes you’re the shaped. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Wanting too intensely is a danger that leads to grabby hands, which leads to things (and relationships) getting knocked around, ruined or broken. If you’re grasping too tightly, let go.

Vainerere ‘a leader’ in Taupo BY JAMES FORD

Mid Canterbury wing Christian Vainerere has been in fine form for the Heartland under 19 side competing at the Jock Hobbs Memorial Tournament in Taupo. The Heartland team were downed 31-13 by Counties Manukau on Sunday, before falling to a frustrating 22-16 loss to Northland yesterday afternoon, but Heartland coach Craig Dun-

lea, who is also the Mid Canterbury assistant coach, said the young Celtic player has been a standout performer. “He went really well. “It’s been a great learning curve and he’s become quite a wee leader of the group,” he said. “I’ve seen a different side to him up here, he’s a really shy guy, but the experience has done him good, he has huge potential.” The 18-year-old has impressed

for Mid Canterbury Development this season and has made one appearance for the senior side, as a late replacement during the Hammers’ 25-17 victory over King Country in week three. The under 19 tournament, which includes 16 teams in all; 14 provincial union sides, an additional Auckland B team and the Heartland outfit, is integral to player development, according to New Zealand Rugby

General Manager of Community and Provincial Rugby, Brent Anderson. He said the tournament provided players with reasons to stay in the game and the opportunity to aim for higher honours, including their senior provincial union side and the New Zealand squad for the world rugby under-20 championship. “This tournament is about providing a great pathway to equip our best young players to devel-

op their skills for the next level of the game,” he said. With teams competing across two divisions, the premiership and the championship, for the Graham Mourie Cup and the Michael Jones Trophy, Anderson believes the tournament provides a good viewing platform for selectors to watch emerging young talent like Vainerere. The Heartland under 19 team will face Auckland B in their final match on Saturday.
