Violent, sex crimes on the rise locally

Violent and sexual crime is on the rise in Mid/South Canterbury.

However the overall crime rate has dropped significantly in the region, while drug related offending has also decreased.

Police yesterday released national crime statistics for the 2014 calendar year, which showed overall crime in Mid/South Canterbury dropped by 11.3 per cent.

Crime also decreased nationally by a more modest 2.8 per cent.

While overall crime is down, police

are concerned about a rise in violent and sexual offending.

Acts intended to cause injury rose by 7.7 per cent in the region last year, while sexual assaults and related offences rose by 10.5 per cent.

Acting deputy commissioner Grant Nicholls said sexual assault and related offences remained a major concern nationwide, with recorded offences rising 3.5 per cent.

“We believe that historically sexual violence has been under-reported to authorities,” he said.

“Police are heartened that victims of this type of crime are coming for-

ward and we want to assure them that police take all complaints of sexual violence seriously.”

Mid/South Canterbury area commander Inspector Dave Gaskin declined to comment on the statistics as he did not have them at hand.

The figures show robbery, extortion, and related offences had the biggest change in the region, with an increase of 38.5 per cent.

No kisses for bearded Beckham Pop star-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham refused to kiss her husband David while he was sporting a thick beard. The former Spice Girls singer gave the soccer legend an ultimatum after seeing photographs of his heavy facial hair last week. During an appearance on chat series The Late Late Show David explained that he eventually relented and agreed to trim his beard for the sake of his marriage. He tells the show’s host, British actor/comedian James Corden, “(Victoria said), ‘There’s no way I’m kissing you unless you shave that off ’. I left it for a day and I was like, ‘You know what I’m going to have to do it.”

Clarkson on stage

Jeremy Clarkson will return to the public eye in Australia when he appears on stage with his former Top Gear colleagues in Sydney this month to fulfil a series of gigs planned before the BBC sacked him for an attack on one of the show’s producers. The gigs will be stripped of all BBC branding and content and billed as Clarkson, Hammond and May Live, starting with a show at Eastern Creek in Sydney scheduled for April 18 and 19. That means the shows, which will take in venues as far afield as Norway, South Africa and the UK, will not be able to use clips from the show or feature The Stig. “So as not to disappoint the thousands of people around the world who have already purchased tickets, BBC Worldwide has agreed with our joint venture partner Brand Events that the remainder of the tour can continue,” a BBC Worldwide spokesman said yesterday. “These events will not however feature any BBC Top Gear branding or content. “We believe this is a sensible approach in the circumstances.” Some of the dates, including the Norway shows scheduled to take place this week, have already had to be rescheduled and tour organisers believe it may not even make a profit by the time those costs have been taken into account.

■ METHVEN DENTISTS

Dental chain moves into Mid Canty

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

People in the Ashburton District will now find it easier to access dental care, following the arrival of a Canterbury dental chain.

General & Emergency Dentists, known as G&E Dental, opened yesterday in Methven after months of planning and preparation.

Based at the Methven Medical Centre, the practice will fill the gap left by Dr Howard Lee of Dental Care Canterbury, who departed in November of last year.

Since his departure G&E Dental has been catering to the dental needs of Methven and Ashburton through its other practices based in Hornby, Rolleston and Rangiora.

The Methven team is led by Meena Chawdhry, who is aided by operations manager Sergey Pyntya.

Dr Chawdhry has spent 19 years working in dentistry, and started off her career in India, where she completed her training.

She then moved on to become the senior dental officer at an Indian district hospital before making her way to New Zea-

land. After moving to Auckland with her husband about 12 years ago, Dr Chawdhry worked as a dental assistant while undertaking a bridging course at the University of Otago, which ensured her international qualifications were recognised here.

Dr Pyntya too has international qualifications and trained in the Moldova Republic, his home country, as a general surgeon.

The dental centre has already got off to a flying start.

By lunchtime yesterday Dr

Chawdhry had seen one patient and had six more appointments to go. G&E Dental will be operating every Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week but is already looking at expanding its hours.

“We want to grow,” Dr

Chawdhry said. When that will happen depends on the response from the community.

Dr Chawdhry said she hoped that within a month the practice could look at expanding out to four or five days a week.

In the meantime patients who need to access dental care afterhours or on weekends will be looked after – either by herself or by dentists at the Hornby and Rolleston practices.

Prior to G&E Dental’s expansion Dr Chawdhry said she saw a number of patients from Methven, as well as from the wider Mid Canterbury region, at the Rolleston practice.

The centre is registered to provide dental care to people aged 13 and above, but can provide ACC or trauma care to people of all ages Dr Chawdhry said the services of the practice would be open to residents from all over Mid Canterbury.

Justin Wall of the Ashburton Dental Centre said he believed the arrival of G&E Dental would relieve the pressure on other dentists in the district.

Previously Dr Wall has said the departure of the dentist in Methven had “put the acid on” the district’s dental resources.

■ ASHBURTON REAL ESTATE

■ ANZAC DAY

House prices rise by 4.1 per cent for month of March

Different approach for centennial commemorations

House prices in Ashburton might not be hitting the highs of some parts of New Zealand but Quotable Value (QV) statistics show they rose 4.1 per cent in March on the same month last year.

The average price of a house in the district is now $325,192, remaining unchanged on the February average.

However, over a three-month period, average prices have slipped 1 per cent from $328,349 in December.

Ten years ago, houses in Ashburton were selling for an average of about $160,000; five years ago it was about $275,000.

The South Island’s real estate hot spot continues to be the Queenstown Lakes District where the average selling price is now $715,787, up 7.2 per cent over the past year and 3.3 per cent over the past three months. Christchurch’s hill sub-

urbs are second at an average of $636,634.

Three districts in the South Island are still achieving average sales prices below $200,000 – Clutha, $167,692, Gore, $183,197 and Buller, $198,252.

If you’re after a bargain and you’re happy to relocate to the North Island, properties in Kawerau are falling, with the March average sale price $104,629 and in Wairoa, $147,698.

New Zealand’s most expensive real estate is on Auckland’s coastal North Shore where the average sales price for March topped $1 million at $1.072 million. Prices there have risen 13.4 per cent over the past year.

In every area of Auckland property prices rose by more than 10 per cent over the past year.

Property prices dropped the most significantly in Buller, 5.6 per cent and Ruapehu, 7.2 per cent.

Schools around the district will be commemorating Anzac Day in a slightly different way this year.

To mark 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign during World War One, schools have received 30 white crosses to use during services.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said the crosses had been inscribed with the

names of soldiers who had fought in the war.

“It’s a really neat thing for us to connect with the history of World War One and to honour the memory of those men and women,” he said.

Mr Melrose said the crosses would be set up on the morning of April 24, when the school would hold its Anzac service.

Violent and sex crimes rise locally From P1 Abduction and harassment offences rose by 19.4 per cent, while fraud and deception offences were up by 24.7 per cent.

However the district recorded decreases in several other types of offending.

Unlawful entry offences de-

creased by 18.6 per cent, theft was down 9.3 per cent, and public order offences dropped by 26.8 per cent.

A renewed focus on stamping out drug-related offending in the region also appears to be paying off, with illicit drug offences down by 8.1 per cent.

Canterbury district commander Superintendent Gary

Knowles said in order to continue the trend of overall crime decreasing, police needed to continue their focus on victims, prevention activities and efforts to reduce alcohol related crime.

A total of 350,389 offences were recorded nationwide in 2014, compared to 360,411 offences in 2013.

■ OIL EXPLORATION

In brief

Local coastal waters in offer

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s coastal waters are part of a wider area included in the government’s annual oil and gas exploration block offer announced this week.

The annual block offer regime introduced by the government in 2012 opens the way for companies to undertake petroleum exploration in the area.

This year’s tender will close on September 30 and any exploration permits awarded will likely be granted in December of this year. Block Offer 2015 includes four offshore release

areas including the Great South-Canterbury basin which includes the majority of Mid Canterbury’s coastline and comes within 11 kilometres of the shoreline.

In announcing the block offer release area this week, energy and resources minister Simon Bridges said oil was the country’s fourth largest export which brought in about $700 million per year.

“It is clear that companies are seeking frontier acreage and long-term opportunities like those which New Zealand has to offer,” Mr Bridges said.

The Green Party and environmentalists oppose the offer.

Green Party mining spokesperson Gareth Hughes was particularly concerned about Maui’s dolphins being in the release area.

Seismic surveying, which is often undertaken prior to drilling a test well, involves loud underwater noises which have been shown to affect marine mammals.

Ashburton Forest and Bird has previously expressed its disapproval of the possibility of oil exploration off Mid Canterbury’s shore. Hector’s dolphins visit the coastline, and conservationists are additionally concerned about the effect of burning fossil fuels on cli-

mate change. Block Offer 2015 follows two international companies applying for prospecting permits to prospect for oil and gas in an area off the east coast of New Zealand which includes Mid Canterbury.

The applications, from Searcher Seismic Pty Ltd and Schlumberger Seaco Incorporated, are currently being considered by the Crown’s permitting agency New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals (NZP&M).

Companies gaining prospecting permits can undertake seismic surveying and sell the data to oil companies wanting to undertake exploration.

■ ASHBURTON SPCA

Staying in business – for now After fearing that closure could be its next step, Ashburton’s SPCA is staying in business – for now, says inspector John Keeley.

Ahead of Tuesday’s annual meeting, Mr Keeley feared that dwindling membership could see the annual meeting fail to attract enough people to form a committee for the new year.

While the meeting wasn’t exactly a sell-out, there were enough people to keep the organisation going, he said.

Looking to the future, Mr Keeley has already signalled that the SPCA cannot continue to sustain the gap between income and outgoings that it faces most years.

Last year it cost $8000 more to run the organisation than it received in grants and donations.

He believes there should be a stronger partnership between the SPCA and the Ashburton District Council.

In some parts of New Zealand councils provided a healthy cash injection to the animal welfare organisation, he said.

“I know in Hamilton they paid $20,000 to the SPCA for a cat eradication programme.

We’ve applied for help but we haven’t received anything,” he said.

Mr Keeley believes both organisations would benefit from a closer working relationship, particularly in the area of dog control.

Police Notebook - No incidents were reported by police yesterday.

Surfing spoof Longbeach School’s phones were running hot yesterday after the Guardian ran a story on the school’s new surfing course. The story, run on April Fool’s Day, suggested Ashton Beach would be the home for the new surf school. Many got the joke but some were fooled. The story, did, however, spark a memory for one Ashburton woman whose uncle was drowned at the beach. The Continental Shelf that runs off the Ashburton coastline makes it unsuitable for swimming, but that didn’t deter Alfred Dawson. He was at the beach with family members and against their advice, decided to take a dip and was drowned. His death notice was listed in the Guardian on December 10, 1883: Mr Dawson was warned of the danger existing from the strong current, but did not regard the warning. After he had swum some distance, he got into the breakers, and it is supposed that the backwash was too strong, and it took him out to sea, as his companions suddenly lost sight of him. The body was washed ashore about half an hour afterwards, at 11.30am.

Birthday gifts to the community

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

Midlands Seed will celebrate 25 years in business today with generous gifts to two community groups.

The Ashburton Stadium Complex Trust is to receive $15,000 and the Mid Canterbury branch of the Cancer Society will benefit to the tune of $10,000.

Midlands Seed managing director Chris Green said the company had chosen to celebrate by giving back to the community which had supported it since its inception in 1990, on behalf of its staff members, grower suppliers and international partners.

“Our staff are a very important asset to the company and without these loyal and dedicated people we couldn’t func-

tion at the level we expect,” Mr Green said. “We also want to acknowledge our grower suppliers, as it is our ongoing partnership with our growers that has forged our success.”

Mr Green said the company had chosen to support the Cancer Society because almost everyone is affected by cancer directly or indirectly, and the wider community would benefit from the contribution.

The donation to the new sports stadium would also assist the whole community.

Mid Canterbury Cancer Society manager Annie Bonifant said Midlands Seed had been generous benefactors in the past, and the most recent donation would be used to support the charity’s existing services.

“It’s an absolutely amazing gesture,” Mrs Bonifant said.

“The money will stay in the local community and will be used to pay for our driving service, petrol, groceries and counsellors.”

Brian Leadley accepted the donation on behalf of the Ashburton Stadium Trust, which raised money in the community for the stadium project.

He said the $15,000 would be used to purchase last minute items prior to the opening of the stadium next month.

“We are very grateful for Midlands’ generosity and congratulate the company on 25 years of business and community support,” he said.

“We are right on the doorstep of opening the facility and into the fit-out. We want it to be more than a sports complex – it should be something the entire community can use.”

Ashburton’s carpentry apprentices will have an opportunity to bring a second title home to the district in this year’s carpentry apprenticeship awards. Last year Rakaia builder Tom Southen took out the title in the Registered Master Builders’ Carters apprenticeship awards, and this year the door is open for another young builder from the district to follow in his footsteps. Entries for the competition are now open, with a share of more than $100,000 in prizes up for grabs, as well as the coveted title of 2015 Apprentice of the Year. Mr Southen said the competition gave him an opportunity to measure his skills against his peers and provided a good opportunity to test himself and learn about his ability to cope under pressure.Carpentry apprentices can enter the competition online at www. apprenticeoftheyear.co.nz, with entries closing on Thursday, June 11.

Shopkeeper stabbed A shopkeeper has been stabbed after an armed robbery at an Auckland superette yesterday.

The incident happened at Redhill Superette on Red Hill Road, off Dominion Road, about 1.30pm, Inspector Andy Brill of northern police communications said. Three people entered the store and stole some items, he said. During the incident the shopkeeper’s hand was stabbed.

One of the alleged offenders was described as in his 20s, with dark skin and short dark hair, Mr Brill said. There were no descriptions of the other two.

Police, including CIB staff, were searching for the trio yesterday afternoon, he said.

■ WELLINGTON HIGH COURT

Lundy found guilty again

By RoB Kidd Thirteen years since his first trial, a host of new evidence did not change the result – Mark Lundy was guilty of the grisly murders of his wife and 7-yearold daughter.

Taking into account the time already served in prison, he will spend at least eight more years inside before he is eligible for parole.

A seven-week trial in the High Court at Wellington was followed by a tense wait of more than two days for the jury to return verdicts.

But when they did yesterday afternoon, the news provided relief for Lundy’s brother Craig, who said while there was

some solace in the guilty finding, “the loss of our loved ones will always remain with us”.

Christine Lundy, 38, and daughter Amber were found hacked to death in their Palmerston North home on the morning of August 30, 2000.

“For the past few months we have had to relive the moment we were told a despicable human being took the lives of our much cherished sister-inlaw Christine, and our beautiful niece, Amber,” Craig Lundy said.

He was full of praise for the police, who in turn commended prosecutors for presenting the case in court.

“I want to acknowledge Crown Law and the investiga-

tion team who have worked diligently for more than 18 months, carefully reviewing evidence and preparing for trial, as well as the witnesses and experts who have contributed their time and expertise to this trial,” Detective Inspector Mark Hercock said.

Despite the tension around court yesterday afternoon, there was little reaction when the verdict arrived.

Lundy stood with his mouth slightly open but was led away without a word or gesture when convicted by Justice Simon France.

He was similarly expressionless as he was brought back into court moments later, when the judge opted to sentence him on

the spot. Lundy’s old sentence of life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 20 years was re-imposed and, within minutes, he was driven from court in a white van with tinted windows.

While police fronted media outside court, Crown prosecutors Philip Morgan, QC, and Ben Vanderkolk left without comment.

Lundy’s legal team – David Hislop, QC, Ross Burns and Julie-Anne Kincade – made a less public exit from a side door.

Later, Mr Hislop said he had not considered an appeal of the guilty verdicts, but did not rule it out once the “dust settled”.

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY

Students top at performing Shakespeare

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Five Big Little Theatre Company Ashburton students have proved themselves to be the best in New Zealand at performing Shakespeare.

Mitchell Farr, Elise Heffernan, Abby Eastwood, Caleb Livingstone and Tilly Smith put together a piece based on the company’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, and performed it for annual Trinity College London exams last year.

They performed the piece as actors and also using puppets, each gaining 95 per cent marks representing high distinction.

Company director Jackie Heffernan said she believed that made the five students the best at Shakespeare out of anywhere in New Zealand.

“We really rock at Shakespeare,” Mrs Heffernan said.

Fellow Big Little members also performed highly, with 25 altogether of 27 entries having received distinction for their Shakespeare performances, and 13 of those 25 having received marks over 90 per cent.

The Big Little students had their Trinity certificates

In brief Sold out in minutes The tickets to the Fleetwood Mac concert at Forsyth Barr Stadium sold out in minutes yesterday and a second Dunedin concert looks unlikely, says the promoter.

Live Nation Australasia chief executive Michael Coppel said it was “hugely gratifying” to have Fleetwood Mac’s Dunedin concert on November 18 sell out in less than an hour after going on sale at 10am yesterday. More than 28,000 tickets had sold and a second Dunedin show was unlikely, Mr Coppel said. However, the entertainment company was working to make more tickets available for the only South Island show and hoped to have “good news” to announce in a couple of weeks.

Elder abuse shock The early release of a woman who left her mother to rot on a couch does nothing to address the country’s “shocking” level of elder abuse, a victims’ advocate says.

Napier woman Joanne Quinn was released last week after serving a third of her two-and-a-half year prison sentence. The 52-year-old was jailed last May after being found guilty of one of the worst cases of elder abuse in the country.

As sole caregiver for the 82-yearold mother, she let Maureen Quinn deteriorate to an extent that horrified local medical staff. They found her in soiled nappies with fibres of the couch embedded in her leg wounds on November 15, 2011. She died six weeks after being admitted to hospital on November 15, 2011. Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman Garth McVicar yesterday slammed the decision to release Quinn. “One of the purposes of sentencing is to send a deterrent to the wider community. Releasing Quinn fails to do that and instead makes the focus on her, not her victim, wider family or wider community, and that is wrong.”

presented on Tuesday night, by visiting Kiwi actor Chris Green. He also ran a workshop

for Big Little senior members.

Mr Green is in Ashburton presenting the acclaimed solo

work Coaltown Blues, staging last night, today and tonight at the Aeroview Theatre.

Kiwis have more than chocolate eggs to look forward to this long Easter weekend, with mostly fine weather forecast for the country.

MetService meteorologist Emma Blades said early forecasts indicated it would be nice weather for most through to Monday, apart from a few showers about parts of the country towards the end of the weekend. “There will be a few showers on the west coast and also around the east of the North Island on the Saturday.” It was possible there may be some isolated showers for the top of the North Island on Monday, she said.

“But other than that it’s looking pretty good.”

ACC levies cut

Man fighting for his life in hospital identified By niKKi PaPatSoumaS A man fighting for his life after he was rescued from Wellington Harbour has been identified by a Kiwi in Sri Lanka who saw the man’s photo on New Zealand news websites.

The man was rescued from the water at Burdan’s Gate,

Eastbourne, about 10.30pm on Monday by a 16-year-old girl and two young men.

Police said the man was identified as an Indian national in his 20s who was studying in New Zealand.

The man remained in a critical condition in Wellington Hospital’s intensive care unit

last evening. Detective Sergeant Grant Carroll said the “breakthrough” came after a New Zealand man recognised the man’s photo on New Zealand news websites while attending a conference in Sri Lanka.

He then contacted police and officers were able to establish

the man’s identity and confirm it through the official channels, Mr Carroll said.

Police were in the process of making contact with the man’s family overseas, with help from an interpreter.

The man would not be named until his family had been notified, Mr Carroll said. - NZME

A series of Accident Compensation Corporation levy cuts kicked in yesterday, returning about $480 million to the New Zealand economy - and New Zealanders’ wallets. The work account levy, which covers workplace injuries and is paid by businesses, will decrease by an average of 5 per cent, an ACC spokeswoman said.

From July 1 the motor vehicle levy paid when people register or renew their registration will go down by an average of 41 per cent.

It’s time ‘to heal wounds’ Former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday it was time “to heal wounds,” a day after Nigeria’s president conceded defeat in a bitterly fought election.

Calling for conciliation across the political divide, Buhari said Nigerians have put a one-party state behind them and embraced democracy.

Buhari, 72, said his victory is a victory for Nigerians who showed they can bring about peaceful change through the ballot box.

It is the first time in Nigeria’s history that a sitting president has been defeated at the polls.

Buhari was the sole candidate of a coalition of the major political parties that formed two years ago and transformed Nigeria’s political landscape by offering the first real challenge to the governing party that has been in power since 1999.

Results from Saturday’s election show Buhari winning votes across religious, tribal lines and geopolitical lines.

In brief Joni Mitchell in hospital Joni Mitchell was in intensive care in a Los Angeles-area hospital yesterday, according to the Twitter account and website of the folk singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. “Joni was found unconscious in her home this afternoon,” said a statement on the Mitchell website. “She is currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what illness she had. Los Angeles fire officials said paramedics answered a 911 call in Bel Air, where Mitchell lives, and took a patient to the hospital. But they could not verify her identity or give details on her condition.

ousted a democratically elected government in the 1980s – this is only the eighth election in Nigeria’s history and the fifth since democracy was restored in 1999.

“You voted for change and now change has come,” said Buhari, who describes himself as a convert to democracy.

“Your vote affirms that you believe Nigeria’s future can be

better than what it is today.”

The heads of Lufthansa and its low-cost airline Germanwings are visiting the site of the crash that killed 150 people amid mounting questions about the co-pilot and how much his employers knew about his mental health. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr and Germanwings CEO Thomas Winkelmann touched down yesterday by helicopter in Seyne-les-Alpes, near the ravine where the A320 jet shattered into thousands of pieces March 24.

Investigators believe co-pilot Andreas Lubitz intentionally crashed the plane, and are trying to determine why.

Nuclear talks resume after missing deadline Iran nuclear negotiators resumed talks yesterday, just hours after abandoning a March 31 deadline to reach the outline of a deal and agreeing to press on.

However, as the discussions dragged on, three of the six foreign ministers involved left the talks, and prospects for agreement remained uncertain.

sions, US Secretary of State John Kerry and his British and German counterparts huddled in the Swiss town of Lausanne to continue a marathon effort to bridge still significant gaps and hammer out details of a framework accord.

The foreign ministers of China, France and Russia all departed Lausanne overnight, although the significance of their absence, particularly when the broader group meets with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif, was

not clear. If they succeed, those understandings would form the basis for a comprehensive agreement to be reached by the end of June.

After the talks last broke in the early hours of Wednesday, Zarif said solutions to many of the problems had been found and that documents attesting to that would soon be drafted.

Other officials were more skeptical.

Asked how high the chances of success were, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter

Steinmeier said: “I cannot say.”

And British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Iran might still not be ready to accept what is on the table.

“I’m optimistic that we will make further progress this morning but it does mean the Iranians being willing to meet us where there are still issues to deal with,” Hammond told British reporters.

“Fingers crossed and we’ll hope to get there during the course of the day.”

Obese kids may face CYF referrals ‘Blaming and D shaming is the wrong approach’

By Simon CollinS

A

proposal to refer obese children to child protection services has been slammed by a child health expert.

Professor Wayne Cutfield, director of the Liggins Institute at Auckland University, told Newstalk ZB it was “incredibly disappointing that the way we manage child obesity could end up being children being removed from their families”.

The NZ Herald revealed yesterday that a “traffic light” system was being proposed for referring children to Child Youth and Family for “medical neglect”.

Starship Hospital paediatrician Dr Patrick Kelly said the system was not specific to obesity but could include obesity cases.

Dr Cutfield told Newstalk that while there was no doubt obesity was a huge problem in New Zealand, “simply blaming and shaming and then potentially removing or incarcerating children is the wrong approach”.

He said some families did not recognise their children were obese, particularly with young children.

When children are placed in hospital in order to lose weight, they regain the weight very quickly unless changes are also made within their family.

“I think we need to make more effort to work with not just their families but the community their families belong to,” Dr Cutfield said.

A paediatrician from Perth’s Princess Margaret Children’s Hospital told a child abuse conference in Auckland that children and teens had been referred to child protection services when parents had failed to address children’s obesity.

octors are developing protocols to refer obese children to child protection services if their parents ignore medical advice to help their children lose weight.

Australian paediatrician Dr Alice Johnson told a child abuse conference in Auckland this week that her unit at Perth’s Princess Margaret Children’s Hospital had referred 13 children and teenagers to child protection services since 2008 after parents failed to address children’s obesity or when there were other child protection issues such as drugs or domestic violence.

In four cases the child protection agency removed children from their parents to ensure that they kept appointments with dietitians and tried to lose weight.

In New Zealand, Starship hospital paediatrician Dr Patrick Kelly said he was working with police and Child, Youth and Family (CYF) to develop a “traffic light” system to guide referrals to CYF for “medical neglect”.

“Green means we are working with the family to make sure they have all the cultural support they need and all the access issues in obese kids to be sent to CYF if parents fail to place, such as transport,” he said. “Orange is where you are starting to think we are still not making progress and this is putting a child at risk.

Red is where you are starting to involve the statutory authorities.

It’s not specific to obesity, but I can imagine there might be some obesity cases.”

Dr Johnson, who sees children referred to her Perth clinic from all over Western Australia, said some parents failed to make sure their children took medication for other conditions such as diabetes and cystic fibrosis. But the obesity cases had increased over the past five years.

“With the vast majority of children with obesity there are no child protection concerns,”

she said. “It’s a very tiny minority of children with severe obesity who have medical complications or comorbidities and whose parents are not addressing their needs.”

Many of the children have obstructive sleep apnoea, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and diabetes, fatty liver disease or mental health issues such as poor self-esteem or depression.

Dr Johnson said her hospital had developed a suite of interventions to help the families, including hospital treatment, intensive in-home support from social services, parenting programmes, financial support and “as a last resort” removing children from their parents.

Interventions had been put in place for 15 children so far. In two cases the parents responded as soon as they realised the serious risk to their children, but the other 13 were referred to the state’s child protection service.

Nine were left at home and four were moved to other carers.

Dr Johnson said all the children lost weight in an initial three- or four-week stay in hospital simply by eating a normal hospital diet and getting some exercise and physiotherapy. One 11-year-old boy who weighed 155kg lost 9kg in three weeks. “He loved doing the exercises and was feeling really good about himself.”

However, the results after they left hospital were disappointing.

Only one of the nine children who stayed at home lost significant weight. The four who were moved to other carers all lost weight initially, but three of them put it on again when they moved to other carers or back home.

A third to half of the children were Aboriginal, often in remote areas. Many had other issues in their families such as parental drug use, violence and mental health issues.

Otago University paediatrician Professor Dawn Elder said children’s eating might be influenced by the stress of those other issues.

But Dr Johnson found no answers when she asked other experts at the conference if anyone had

found a way to overcome the problem.

“There has been improved attendance at appointments, but no change in weight for the vast majority,” she said. “The outcome is it doesn’t seem to make a difference. What do we do?”

Medical Association chairman Dr Mark Peterson said later that New Zealand doctors would always try to help a family to change their diet and exercise more rather than reporting them to CYF. “I’m not saying there would never be a case for it, but it would be very rare,” he said.

Otahuhu Recreation and Youth Centre nutritionist David Hill said most parents tried to help their teenage children to lose weight, but that the teens often resisted the pressure.

Family First NZ said it supported intervention where obesity was an urgent issue, but that CYF involvement and removal of children from families would only exacerbate the problem.

National director Bob McCoskrie said intervention should only be a last resort where obesity is part of a package of neglect and abuse.

“The best solution is for nongovernmental organisations to be resourced and equipped to work with the family in the home and the community, and to only use statutory intervention where there is persistent non-compliance and obvious dysfunction with the parents,” Mr McCoskrie said.

“We should also be asking some of the harder questions around reasons for increasing obesity rates in New Zealand.

These include issues such as reduced physical activity and increased screentime, sleep patterns, food quality especially in cheaper foods, busy parents, and ‘obesogenic environments’ - ‘fat cities’ with few parks and recreational facilities.”

Mr McCoskrie said CYF workers had unmanageable caseloads and a lack of accountability of their procedures.

“We need CYF to get it right, and we need to know that they’re getting it right. That evidence is not there.”

OUR VIEW

We’re left footing the bill for justice Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

T

hat every person accused of a crime should have their day in court to prove their innocence or otherwise is at the heart of New Zealand’s justice system.

If you’re found guilty of a crime, then there is the opportunity to lodge an appeal. If your sentence is upheld, the matter may not end there. There’s the opportunity to make a bid for retrial.

Making it to trial number two, however, relies on new evidence but it also relies on having a backer, someone who believes in your case with a pot of cash to start the process, someone who is prepared to take an appeal for a retrial to the Privy Council. If that’s successful, then the real spending starts.

Yesterday Mark Lundy was found guilty for a second time of the murder of his wife and daughter. When the murder occurred in August 2000, the country reeled in horror at the gruesomeness of the event, at the horrific dismantling of a family.

The evidence was strong and in April 2002 he was found guilty, given a life sentence. Most believed justice had been done.

Since then he’s done time, lodged countless appeals and finally won a retrial. Today he’s back where he started, facing a life sentence for double murder.

And that should be the end of the matter. It’s not. Someone has to foot the bill. That someone is you and me and the final bill for the Lundy case is expected to be at least $5 million.

That’s an awful lot of money out of the public purse, money that could have built a cluster of community houses for people who urgently need community support. There’ve been no winners in the Lundy circus, not the taxpayer and not Christine and Amber Lundy. We’re out of pocket and they’re still victims of a man who has twice been proven guilty.

The law is a complex beast. It has to be fair, but unfortunately that means people like Lundy have a right to push the system as far as they can and we pick up the pieces.

The secret diary of Lawyer X from Lush Litigators Friday, March 20, 7.28pm 88F Paritai Drive, Orakei, Auckland ust got off the phone from some brash parent raving about a cup from the Mardi Gras but that his boy couldn’t row out there to get the cup because he rowed the escalator at the airport.

At least I think that is what he said, I’m halfway through my third Macallan (rare single malt for those not in my salary bracket).

He was most insistent that there was a miscarriage of justice involving a private monastery in Christchurch.

I asked if he was sure about this and he said it was true and if his son didn’t attend the Rio Carnival at Karapiro he would not be eligible to vote in the Northland Trifecta. At least I think that’s what he said, he was so obnoxious by now I had poured another.

He then said he would pay whatever it takes to get his son to ride side saddle in the Taupo Ironman and I said I would take the case as I had all the facts and could he immediately forward a tax refundable invoice for $20,000.

Mind you it did seem harsh for the bishop to punish this poor young lad for sculling three scoops of hokey pokey ice cream on the pre-school bus.

At least I think that’s what he did, my intern knows the finer details of the case, I’m too busy to fully involve myself.

The rest of the day was a blur of congratulatory calls from colleagues and did I hear the suggestion of a Queen’s Birthday Honour nomination?

Webster from “Slash and Burn Barristers and Co.” guffawed during the approach to the 17th at Akarana Golf Club about the blunder.

I had to leave early and request extra time from the court in order to file new writs. At least the parents of the two boys who slid down the handrails at Te Papa will be paying for it – at least I’m sure that’s what they did. Must order more Macallan, I’m seem to be going through it quicker than usual.

Just because his boy was caught twerking outside the women’s toilets at the domestic terminal, doesn’t mean he is not allowed to paddle his waka

at Waitangi next year!

How could this be?

Now Webster and his cocky partner Twaddle are claiming my injunction against the Kohanga Reo was a case of inflammatory judicial practice and a platform for self-preferment! How dare they suggest this when it was so obvious to any stable-minded individual that polytechs cannot make up silly rules and impose consequences! What about the rights of fee-paying parents?

Monday, March 30, 10.41pm 88F Paritai Drive, Orakei, Auckland Turns out the vicar of the Sunday school where the three blind mice run up Humpty’s leg and pulled out a plumb, has hired another lawyer. Well I say bring it on! There is noone who can match my ability to grasp the facts of the case and pursue truth, justice and my own agenda.

Tell you what though, this publicity is taxing on the brain, I need another Macallan…

■ AMERICA’S CUP VENUE

Kiwis challenge changes to regatta Team New Zealand are challenging a decision by the America’s Cup Events Authority to ditch Auckland as host of the qualifying regatta in early 2017.

But chief executive Grant Dalton says regardless of the outcome of any hearing “this is not the end of Emirates Team New Zealand”.

The team yesterday filed an application to the America’s Cup Arbitration Panel to reinstate Auckland as the qualifier venue, claiming organisers have “breached their signed agreement and protocol obligations”.

The move comes after the teams voted through changes to the protocol for the 35th America’s Cup, which included a reduction in boat size between 45 and 50 foot foiling catamarans in order to cut the costs of competing. The majority of teams also indicated a preference that all of the racing in 2017 be conducted at a single venue, Bermuda. The America’s Cup Event

Authority said it “will consider this in nominating a venue for the America’s Cup qualifiers”.

However, Team NZ believe moves to retrospectively change the venue of the qualifiers are illegal.

Under the original Protocol, the qualifier venue was to be announced by February 15 this year. This requirement was fulfilled on this date, with the teams informed that Auckland would be the location of the qualifiers,

challenge the events authority’s decision is not about their bid to secure government funding.

“We are fighting to keep Auckland as a qualifier. This isn’t about government funding, this is not the end of Emirates Team New Zealand, it’s about enforcing a contract and bringing America’s Cup racing to New Zealand as agreed by ACEA,” said Dalton.

The America’s Cup Events Authority wants to forge ahead with plans to draw up a new class rule after the team voted through changes to the boats for the 2017 America’s Cup. The changes, aimed at significantly reducing costs for the event, were met with strong opposition from Team New Zealand and Italian team Luna Rossa. However, with many other European teams struggling to get the funds together to launch a competitive challenge, the defenders were able to get the majority vote.

although there was no public announcement.

But among the changes to the Protocol voted on yesterday, ACEA sought to change this date to April and disregard the agreement for Auckland to be the location for the America’s Cup qualifier.

“Emirates Team New Zealand have filed an application to the America’s Cup Arbitration Panel in the belief that ACEA has breached their signed agree-

ment and protocol obligations by discarding Auckland,” said Dalton. “However prior to any hearing [Team NZ] will continue discussions with all teams and ACEA on the prospect of continuing to bring America’s Cup racing to Auckland.”

With Team NZ’s bid for government funding hinging on securing hosting rights to the qualifying regatta, there has been suggestion the Kiwi syndicate may be forced to close their doors without a top-up from the taxpayer.

But with the government indicating the level of investment in the next cup campaign would be significantly less than the $36 million they handed over for the 2013 regatta, the other costcutting measures voted through should off-set any loss in public money. It is understood the government were only prepared to put $5-10 million to Team NZ’s next campaign.

Drink’s health benefits unproven An advertisement for “ionised alkaline water” has been found to have made unproven claims about health benefits.

The website advertisement for IONZA New Zealand said acidosis could cause inflammation and lead to common diseases, and then listed ailments including cancer, allergies, arthritis, diabetes, rheumatism and kidney disease.

It then said: “Acidosis and its symptoms can all be treated by drinking alkaline water along with a alkaline/acid balanced diet.”

It also claimed the water could

improve the immune system, reduce aches and pains, relieve arthritis, increase energy, reduce effects of chronic fatigue, and help the body find its optimum weight, among others.

The company sells a range of filters used to alkalise water.

A complainant to the Advertising Standards Authority said the website was misleading, made unsubstantiated claims, and played on fear.

In response, the advertiser supplied a range of research and said it was proven that acidosis was directly linked to inflammation and consequent chronic

disease. Alkaline water offered relief from acidosis, and consequently the many illnesses named.

However, the complaints board said the research was “speculative and hopeful but clinically inconclusive”, and did not confirm a link between ionised water and inflammation and disease.

The advertiser had altered the text on its website, but the board said the new version still contained unproven claims, and was still in breach of the therapeutic products code.

Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn raised the idea of running the Flyer between Greymouth and Hokitika, and/ or Reefton, with a side track laid to Shantytown.

He has already raised the possibility with the Queenstown Lakes District Council, which said it intended lowering the heritage rating on the train, from one to two.

“They told me that over the next eight weeks it is going

to council. They are going to change the status from a one to a two. That needs a resolution from council. That means it could be sold outside of the Queenstown district,” Mr Kokshoorn said.

In early March, the Otago Daily Times reported the Kingston Flyer had been idle for almost two years and was for sale for $2.1 million.

Mr Kokshoorn hoped Greymouth could get the train for less than that. “They want $2.1m for the whole operation, but it will be far less than that because we only want the rolling stock with two engines.

“We don’t know the final fig-

ure, that will have to be negotiated.”

There is competition for the old train. The National Transport and Toy Museum at Wanaka Airport has suggested it could accept it for a static display.

Mr Kokshoorn said the idea hinged on funding from Development West Coast, which gave out only $800,000 in commercial loans in the year to March 2014.

He suggested Shantytown would need to have a hand in the operation.

“They have the workshop, the housing, equipment and structure to take it further.” - NZME

Mayfield heifers impress judg

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

Judges in the Mayfield A&P Association heifer competition had a tough time determining winners with the exceptional line-up of animals presented.

It was the second year the association had run the competition, and convener Martin Williams said veteran cattle judges Peter Gilbert and Donald Green were really impressed with the stock they saw on their 200km journey around the Mayfield A&P catchment on Tuesday.

“The judges were seriously impressed with the quality of the stock considering it was not an easy season for growing out young cattle,” Mr Williams said.

“The farmer owners and graziers had gone to a lot of effort and it was a credit to them all.

“The rising two-year-olds can handle a harder year, but it’s much more difficult to grow calves out well in a summer like we’ve just had.

“Last year’s rising one-yearold winners also won this year’s rising two-year-old class – which proves the value of growing out calves well.

“This will follow through into the herd.”

At the end of a long day, George Baxter was presented with the overall award for the best presented line of heifers at the Panthers Rock pub in Mayfield.

The overall prize for the best presented line of graziers heifers went to George Baxter.

Action is being taken against 19 employers in the dairy industry for breaches of employment law, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) said.

The ministry’s labour inspectorate visited 29 dairy farms in nine regions during a three-month operation to check their compliance with employment laws.

More than half were targeted due to information about likely non-compliance, the ministry said in a statement.

“The level of non-compliance identified during this operation was extremely high and it was disappointing to find that a significant number of farmers still do not have systems in place to keep accurate time and wage records that are compliant with employment legislation,” the ministry’s labour inspectorate central regional manager, Natalie Gardiner, said.

Nine of the more serious cases are being considered for filing with the Employment Relations Authority, she said.

“The ministry takes the exploitation of workers very seriously and is working proactively to crack down on it through compliance operations targeting sectors and at risk workers across New Zealand,” she said.

Breaches will be subject to compliance action and potential penalties of up to $10,000 for individuals and $20,000 for companies.

The farms visited were located in Northland, Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Thames/Coromandel, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu/Rangitikei, Wairarapa, Canterbury and Southland.

Enforcement action has been taken against 19 employers whose farms were visited.

TINWALD SALE The prime sheep market continues to hold the Tinwald Saleyards, steadied by a medium sized yarding this week.

Heavy, woolly lambs made $122-$130, medium weights $110-$120 and lighter lambs $80-$95.

Heavy, woolly ewes fetched $85-$95, mediums $75-$85 and lighter sheep, $56$65.

There was a smaller yarding of store lambs this week, with black-face lambs

selling from $50 to $69 and forward crossbreds realising up to $77. Small shorn lambs fetched $43-$49.

A yarding of 130 prime cattle went through the yards on Tuesday, comprising 110 cows and 20 heifers. Prices for heavier types lifted 0.5c a kilo, and lighter cows sold on a par with last week’s sale.

Heifers weighing in around 350kg made $1.20 per kilo, while 450kg animals realised $2.09.

■ GMO DEVELOPMENTS

Pink pineapples, purple tomatoes Cancer-fighting pink pineapples, hearthealthy purple tomatoes and less fatty vegetable oils may someday be on grocery shelves alongside more traditional products.

These genetically engineered foods could receive US government approval in the coming years, following the okay given recently given to apples that don’t brown and potatoes that don’t bruise.

The companies and scientists that have created these foods are hoping that customers will be attracted to the health benefits and convenience and overlook any concerns about genetic engineering.

“I think once people see more of the benefits they will become more accepting of the technology,” says Michael Firko, who oversees the Agriculture Department’s regulation of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Critics aren’t so sure. They say there should be more thorough regulation of modified foods, which are grown from seeds engineered in labs, and have called for mandatory labelling of those foods.

The Agriculture Department only has the authority to oversee plant health of GMOs, and seeking Food and Drug Administration’s safety approval is generally voluntary.

“Many of these things can be done through traditional breeding,” says Doug Gurian-Sherman of the advocacy group Center for Food Safety.

“There needs to be skepticism.”

What could be coming next? Del Monte has engineered a pink pineapple that includes lycopene, an antioxidant compound that gives tomatoes their red colour and may have a role in preventing cancer. USDA has approved importation of the pineapple, which would be grown only outside of the United States; it is pending FDA approval. A small Brit-

ish company is planning to apply for US permission to produce and sell purple tomatoes that have high levels of anthocyanins, compounds found in blueberries that some studies show lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. FDA would have to approve any health claims used to sell the products.

Seed giants Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences are separately developing modified soybean, canola and sunflower oils with fewer saturated fats and more Omega-3 fatt y

acids.

The Florida citrus compan y Southern Gardens is using a spinach gene to develop genetically engineered orange trees that could potentially resist citrus greening disease, which is devastating the Florida orange crop. Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc, the company that created the non-browning apples, is also looking at genetically engineering peaches, cherries and apples to resist disease and

improve quality.

A few genetically engineered fruits and vegetables are already available in grocery stores: Hawaiian papaya, some zucchini and squash, and a small amount of the sweet corn we eat, for example. But the bulk of the nation’s genetically engineered crops are corn and soybeans that are eaten by livestock or made into popular processed food ingredients like corn starch, soybean oil or high fructose corn syrup.

The engineered corn and soybeans have faced resistance from environmental groups and

s o m e consumers who are wary of the technology, saying not enough is known about it. While science has so far shown that genetically engineered foods are safe, the groups have called for the labelling so consumers know what they are eating. According to a December Associated Press-GfK poll, two-thirds of Americans favour those labels.

Facing that concern, companies developing the new products say their strategy for winning over consumers is to

harness the increased interest in healthy eating.

“This is a new wave of crops that have both grower benefits and consumer benefits,” says Doug Cole of J.R. Simplot, the company that developed the potatoes.

Simplot’s potatoes are engineered to have fewer black spots, a benefit not only for farmers seeking higher yields but also for consumers who wouldn’t have to soak them before preparation.

British scientist Cathie Martin has developed the modified purple tomatoes and hopes to eventually sell them as a juice in the United States. She says some of those same health-conscious consumers that

have concerns over GMOs should be attracted to a product with potential to help lower the risk of cancer.

“This product has been designed to be good for them,” Martin says.

Retailers are still uncertain. McDonald’s buys Simplot’s conventional potato products, but said the company does not have “current plans” to source any GMO potatoes. Other retail chains have already pledged not to sell a genetically engineered salmon that is pending approval at the Food and Drug Administration.

ast week someone else was asked to randomly pick a car from the book Illustrated Motor Cars of the World.

But for understandable reasons the person concerned, while saying he liked our idea and was pleased to be asked, preferred not to be publicly recognised.

So we came up with an idea.

I got to make the random selection on his behalf.

Actually it was a fun thing to do.

So acting on behalf of my friend and with his full authority I opened the book at page 208.

That page features four British cars manufactured in 1963, each of which is quite rightly regarded as a classic.

The cars illustrated are a Mark 2 Daimler, a Hillman Super Minx, a Lotus Elan and an MGB. And while I know my friend would consider any of those interesting I had no trouble thinking which of those cars my friend would have chosen – he would

Apart from sharing the same name and being popular and now collectable cars, the Seven and the Elan have at least one other thing in common.

Described as “no fees, no contests, no drama – just a day of vintage indulgence” it will be a great day out which coincides with Mother’s Day. Anyone who has enjoyed the hospitality of Peter and Larraine McQuarters at Aeroview will know they are wonderful hosts who organise interesting gatherings.

They held a similar event during Wheels Week last year which attracted an incredible variety of exhibits and proved very popular.

Peter and Larraine are wondering what can be mustered this year.

Nonu set to mark 150 super games attacking form is yet to come but he has been formidable on defence.

Nonu’s experience has been vital to the side – on and off the field – and before the season started he took all of the new players to Wellington out for a coffee to show them the local spots.

“I’ve got three kids but they still make me pay for the coffees and that,” Nonu said with a laugh. “It’s been good. I had a good pre-season and I’m just enjoying being back home, really.”

Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said Nonu’s influence had been

nothing but positive as he looks to mark his 150th Super Rugby appearance against the Stormers at Westpac Stadium in Wellington tomorrow night.

“He’s got a real understanding of what you need to make a positive team,” Boyd said. “His influence here has been positive all the way through.”

Nonu, who will move to France after this year’s World Cup, will be only the fourth player to collect 150 Super Rugby caps – after Keven Mealamu, Corey Flynn and Nathan Sharpe – and it’s a journey that began in 2003.

“To be the first back to get 150 games is testament to what he’s given New Zealand and the Hurricanes,” Boyd said.

The Hurricanes have named a strong team to meet the Stormers with the return of All Blacks Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea and Ben Franks who all missed last Friday’s win over the Melbourne Rebels.

Hooker Dane Coles will be out for at least a month with an elbow injury, which provides a further opportunity for the combative Motu Matu’u.

Fullback Nehe Milner-Skudder scored two tries off the

bench in the win over the Rebels and has earned the opportunity to start this week.

In a backline full of All Blacks, the No 15 jersey is up for grabs each week in the Hurricanes with Jason Woodward and James Marshall also in the mix.

The Stormers will welcome back No 8 Duane Vermeulen for tomorrow’s game.

“They’re a massive forward pack and the team they’ve picked is about as big as they could get,” Boyd said.

After hosting the Stormers tomorrow, the Hurricanes have the bye next week.

Much has been made about the influence of Ma’a Nonu on a Super Rugby team.

Some say he doesn’t put in enough effort as he coasts towards another campaign with the All Blacks but the reality is he is just misunderstood.

He has returned to the Hurricanes this season after three years of bouncing between the Blues and the Highlanders and he has helped spark his home team.

The Hurricanes have made a perfect 6-0 start to Super Rugby in 2015 and Nonu has been at the heart of the action; his best

Ashburton Guardian

In brief Grim weather Ashburton cyclist Hayden Roulston will be hoping for fairer weather for this weekend’s Ronde Van Vlaanderen spring classic in Europe. Roulston was one of the 200 riders unable to complete the 239km Gent-Wevelgem earlier this week in Belgium after driving rain and winds of up to 80km/h wreaked havoc on the peloton.

Only 39 cyclists managed to finish the event, with many blown into ditches or canals. Fellow Kiwi, Jack Bauer was brought down when a rival’s jacket flew backward and caught in his spokes. Two days prior Bauer had completed a top 10 finish at the E3 Harelbeke coming in eighth while Roulston was 48th and his Trek teammate Jesse Sergent 98th.

■ OPINION

Farewell to a real champion

By Matt MarkhaM

Harness racing new Zealand

One of the key roles of a journalist in any field is to remain impartial at all times.

Never allow yourself to get too caught up in the subject and don’t allow yourself to get invested.

You will very rarely see scribes jumping up and down on their chairs at rugby games or pacing up and down the court at the netball – generally they are head down and analysing everything that is unfolding in front of them.

In horse racing, the rules are

a little different.

It’s okay to get a little caught up in the moment and feel like you have become a part of it – to get that feeling of having a vested interest.

You spend so much time focusing in on particular horses over such extended periods of times that you sometimes feel like you know them better than you know yourself.

It’s possible for them to overtake you sometimes. I’m that way with Terror To Love.

From the day he won the Sapling Stakes at Ashburton as a two-year-old and his trainer

Graham Court stood in front of me and said he had a horse capable of winning the New Zealand Trotting Cup, I’ve been interested.

I’ve watched him intently since and as you all now know, it’s been one hell of a ride.

Court’s prediction came true - not once, not twice but three times in something we are unlikely to ever see again.

At a time when the people of Christchurch and Canterbury needed a lift following a devastating natural disaster, Terror To Love got them out of the rubble and back on their feet.

He went on to win another two cups and at one stage looked likely to make it four.

But this weekend his incredible journey comes to an end in the Easter Cup – his last official duty as a racehorse. Come Sunday he will be a stallion.

On his favourite track and over his pet distance of two miles there would be no more fitting way for the champ to sign off than with a victory in the Group One. And although technically I’m not supposed to, I’ll stand on my chair and cheer just as loud as anyone else if he can.

Wallabies vice-captain Adam Ashley-Cooper admits he’s received no guarantees that a tendon behind his right knee won’t “completely snap” when he returns to rugby. Ashley-Cooper yesterday all but ruled himself out of the NSW Waratahs’ round-nine clash with the Stormers as he continues his recovery from a rare injury that has perplexed doctors. The 104-Test stalwart has already been sidelined for a month. Speaking for the first time since breaking down against the Melbourne Rebels in round two, Ashley-Cooper said he needed to take a cautious approach in this all-important World Cup year. “Our (Waratahs) doctor - Dr Sharon Flahive, who has been working for 26 years in sports medicine, hasn’t seen this before, any case like it.”

AFL opener Carlton will host Richmond in a blockbuster season opener at the MCG tonight - a match that can’t come soon enough for the AFL and its battered image. The ball will be bounced in front of a huge crowd at the home of football 187 days after triumphant Hawthorn skipper Luke Hodge raised the 2014 premiership cup over his head. In that time the game has taken several hits, with new drug and betting controversies joining the tail end of the Essendon supplements saga to make a long pre-season drag on.

- AAP

Piutau moving on Charles Piutau will be lost to the All Blacks next year, but maybe not the Blues. And, once the franchise gets over the shock of Piutau’s about-turn on his contract extension – he has decided to sign with Ulster in Ireland despite indications his future was in New Zealand – the Blues could look to get one last season out of him.

It is understood that Piutau is keen to play at least part of the 2016 season before moving to Belfast.

Carter home Dan Carter has returned home from South Africa to attend the birth of his second child.

The 33-year-old will miss the Crusaders’ clash with the Sharks in Durban, with Colin Slade set to wear the No10 jersey on Sunday morning (NZT). Carter was replaced in the travelling squad by 19-year-old midfielder Nathaniel Apa. - NZME

Chris Leslie from Hockey Academy South and the current assistant coach of the women’s Black Sticks shows Mid Canterbury juniors how it’s done at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf.

Leslie has been running a coaching course for primary aged players and this week’s was the second of four planned sessions, with the next one to be held on April 27.

Coaches can also attend to learn a few tips from Leslie from

the side-lines ahead of the start of the season.

The junior grades – Kwick, Mini and Fun Sticks – will all start after the school holidays.

The Mid Canterbury division one women’s grades start on April 10 with the men on April 12. The four premier senior sides, the Wakanui men and Hampstead women, competing in the Mid-South Canterbury competition start on April 18.

Waterskiers set new best form at nationals Lake Hood skiers all made slalom finals at the New Zealand Waterksi National Championships at Lake Wiritoa near Wanganui.

With calm conditions, the big field in boys under 17 needed to hit personal best marks to make the cut for the final, especially after Henley Wayne equalled the national record.

Josh Hood forced a tiebreak with a 5 buoy at 16m for the

10th spot in the final - after a runoff he skied 3 at 16m to clinch the spot.

Hugh Donaldson skied a new PB of 3 at 13m/58k to be seeded third with his twin brother George fourth after a 2 at 13m.

The men’s slalom event had all New Zealand’s top open ranked skiers competing, and the top three reached the short 11m line - where Karl Donald-

son skied half a buoy to earn the third seeding, with Canterbury’s Morgan Diehl the top seed. Others to make slalom finals were Gabriella Woodman, the girls’ second seed, Rachel Donaldson in the women’s under 21 and Lachie Woodman in the boys.

Courtney Holmes made the women’s B final in her first nationals and also skied a jump PB of 15.3m.

Lachie Woodman also enjoyed the excellent jump conditions in the morning to land a PB of 29.3m to be the top seed in boys.

Gabriella Woodman also made the girls’ final with a 19.6m effort while Karl Donaldson hit a season’s PB of 43m for open men’s finals.

The championships continue today and will conclude on Sunday.

■ CRICKET

Injuries help Mills call time Kyle Mills might not have played in the World Cup but there’s an air of contentment around his decision to retire from all forms of cricket.

The 36-year-old yesterday joined Daniel Vettori in retirement as the New Zealand team goes through a period of change, and there is still doubt around captain Brendon McCullum’s continued involvement in the one-day team.

Mills played 170 one-day and 42 Twenty20s internationals as well as 19 tests and, with 240 scalps, finishes as the country’s second-highest ODI wicket-taker behind Vettori (305). In 2009, he was the world’s No 1 ODI bowler and spent much of his career inside the top 10.

“There’s no better time,” Mills said of his decision to retire. “I’m 36 and not really in the starting lineup at the moment. The reality is my time is probably up.

“The World Cup had been a big goal of mine over the last 18 months and, while it was disappointing not to play, I feel proud to have been involved. I’m really content with my decision.”

He had contemplated being available for the one-day part of New Zealand’s tour of England in May and June but couldn’t envisage himself playing next summer.

“If I had gone to England, it would have been for selfish reasons and I didn’t want to stand in the way of someone else getting

Kyle Mills is retiring too.

an opportunity. I have also had my time with Auckland and I would hate for a young player to miss out at my expense.

“The fact is I’m 36 and there’s really no point hanging around for the T20 world cup in a year’s time and I won’t be around for the next [ODI] World Cup.” There had been concerns he might not have been around for the recent one. Mills has struggled with injuries at various times throughout his career, even missing the 2007 World Cup and returning early from the 2011 instalment, and he spent almost

as much time on the treatment table at the Unisports Clinic as he did with his family.

He had five operations and plenty of muscle tears and feared he might have put his 2015 World Cup in jeopardy when he picked up a groin injury on the Pakistan tour late last year.

“One of the things I’m most proud about is to come back from all of those injuries,” he said. “It takes its toll physically and mentally.

“When I had knee surgery, I wrote down some goals and on top of the list was to become the world’s No 1 ODI bowler. So to achieve that was brilliant.”

Mills still hopes to be involved in cricket.

Exactly what, he’s not sure, but he’s acted as something of a mentor to the younger bowlers in all of the teams he’s been involved in. He’s also involved in an artificial grass business.

“It feels like I’m leaving school again,” he said. “I’m not sure what I’m going to do. It wasn’t an easy decision [to retire] but I’m really content.

“The future of the New Zealand team is bright. I think they can achieve some pretty special things. I feel that they’re only going to get better and that’s quite scary, because the bowling group is already achieving great things in both tests and one-dayers.

It’s going to be an exciting time for New Zealand cricket.”

All Whites keeper turns up volume New All Whites goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic is the ultimate sporting comeback story.

Marinovic almost gave the game away recently, frustrated at the lack of progress he was making in his career.

Yet after being plucked from the football wilderness, he turned in a great display in the All Whites’ 1-0 defeat in Seoul, coming up with several tremendous saves as the New Zealand side defied the Koreans until the 86th minute.

The 23-year-old produced a brilliant penalty stop in the first half, as well as another acrobatic attempt later in the same period when the home side looked certain to score.

It was the kind of form that had him turning heads at the 2011 Under-20 World Cup, when his rearguard displays helped the New Zealand side to 1-1 draws against Uruguay and Cameroon.

It looked like the world was at his feet then – but it didn’t quite work out that way. He had been established on the professional scene in Germany but it was a hard road. The European nation produces top goalkeepers in huge quantities, so it is a tough place to make your mark.

Marinovic found himself on the bench for long periods – at one stage playing just two matches across three seasons – and started to question if his football aspirations were realistic.

“It was tough,” said Marinovic. “You wonder if you are doing the right thing and I certainly did. There were periods when I thought it might be best to forget about it all and come back to New Zealand and find something else to do with my life.”

In the 2011-2012 season at German third division club SV Wehen Wiesbaden, he didn’t make a single first-team appearance. He moved to FC Ismaning where he spent most of the season kicking his heels on the bench, getting just 90 minutes of game time. He then transferred to Bundesliga club 1860 Munich but appeared in only one match for the reserve team.

“There is huge competition in Germany so you need to wait for your chance,” said Marinovic. “But sometimes it felt like it would never come. Of course, then you lose some confidence in your own ability.”

The final roll of the dice was a move to SpVgg Unterhaching before this season. - NZME

Ashburton Men’s Probus March Report Regular meeting second Tuesday of month, Senior’s Centre 206 Cameron St, 9.30 am. For more information phone Dennis, 308 0140 or ashmensprobus@ gmail.com The meeting was the AGM, Dennis Lister was elected president and Tony Blain vice president. The new committee members are Andrew Brown and John Matsinger.

Our main speaker, Miss Norma Tait taught at Ashburton College for 40 years. She left Avonside Girls High School at 15 and worked as a shorthand typist at a wool broking firm, a law firm, the Children’s Eye Clinic, and the Cerebral Palsy School where she taught handicapped children to type. She trained as a teacher and came to Ashburton College to teach commercial subjects. The College was operating on two sites before the move to the present site and she shared some anecdotes from those days. She became Head of the Commercial Department which taught commercial practice, book keeping, typing and shorthand.

Local businesses were exceptional in providing work experience for students.

Later in her career she stood down as HOD, then became involved in teaching disadvantaged pupils at the College, the Van Ash School for the Deaf and the Foundation for the Blind. She feels there are arguments for and against mainstreaming and that nowadays, there is less support for disadvantaged pupils and young adults so limiting employment opportunities.

Probus member Bruce Ching, also a former long standing teacher at Ashburton College, thanked Miss Tait remarking she was a respected and admired teacher.

Ashburton Woodworkers Bryan Ching welcomed 23 members to our March meeting and drew our attention to the front page article on the progress of our clubrooms. Thanks given to all those helping to build. F Luxton was presented with a diploma in building by B Ching, with his ability in construction.

An interesting evening.

Cavendish Club Library Circle The Cavendish Club has a well-stocked library and an enthusiastic, but small, readership. In order to encourage more readers four members discussed books, from our shelves, which they had recently enjoyed.

Noeline Murdoch enthused about “Eight Daughters and Three Sons” by Barbara Harper – the history of the Pinkney family of “Glenary Station”. Jennifer Hunt introduced us to “The Snow Falcon” by Stuart Harrison. Marjorie Smith gave us her impression of “The Home Front”, by Kristin Hannah – a story of modern conflict both military and domestic.

Garden Circle Recently members of the Club travelled on a bus to the Christchurch Botanical Gardens, where we spent a very pleasant few hours exploring that beautiful area. The highlight of the day was a most interesting hour riding on the “Caterpillar Train”, which took us through many kilometers of the grounds with a very knowledge compere telling us of the history of the area.

Arts & Crafts Circle Our guest speaker was Nola Sim who showed an amazing array of crafts she has done. Dolls, quilts, Christmas decorations and embroidery were some of the many lovely crafts. Our thanks to Nola for a very interesting afternoon.

Music Circle The Music Circle were delighted to welcome Lanae Hill as their guest for the afternoon. Lanae is a very talented lady who has composed some of her songs to words her equally talented mother has written for her. It started with their rendition of the historical fictional book “Denniston Rose” written about the coal-mining days on the West Coast of the South Island New Zealand. From there the mother and daughter team continued and they have now very successfully made a CD entitled “This Moment is Mine”.

Travel Circle On Friday March 27 Marjorie Smith welcomed our guest speaker Jenny Gilcrest.

She talked about her cycling trip in Northern Queensland with around 700 other riders for 9 days.

Methven Bowls I failed to wish all our juniors luck in the

centre singles last week for which I am sorry. They all did very well. Qualifiers were Jim Lattimore, Bruce Redmond, Rob Fensom, and Aaron Allred. Congratulations to you all.

The Champions/Champions pairs on Sunday saw some close hard fought games. Methven’s Craig Carter and Bruce Harper were the winners of the men’s open final beating a very strong Allenton team of Rodney Greaney and Pete Whinham. This was an awesome game and spectators were treated to some great bowls. Congratulations Craig and Bruce.

The Ladies Open final was also a top game going down to the wire. Melva Middleton and Wendy Blackwell fought hard to stay in the game against Ashburton’s Di Gutberlet and Olly Collins.

Down by one point on the last end they picked up two great shots, giving them the points to win the game. Well done Melva and Wendy. This was also an awesome game.

We need to thank all the men for working so hard to get the water off the green and preparing it for the days play.

Well done to all the helpers and to all the people that came to watch and support players.

Other results Monday at Rakaia Brent Mayson, Wendy Blackwell, Alan Smith and Graham Brooker were 3rd Wednesday at Ashburton’s Ausy pairs Graham Clarke and Wendy Blackwell were the winners -well done.

The final game of the Neville Goodwin 1st Noel Bilby and Anthony Holmes; 2nd Mary Stone and Greg Turnbull; 3rd Lois Allred and Eric Maw

MSA Outdoor Bowls It does not seem so long ago that we wondered how we would get through a heavy programme, but suddenly we are almost at closing day and most competitive bowls behind us. Firstly we must mention the club Handicap Singles final which was played in fine spirit between Trevor [14] and Hamish [3] Nish.

Both played well with no waiting, no delay. In most cases after each end their bowl had reached the head before the marker [he was not slow either]. Congratulations to Trevor who took out the title 25-18. Saturday last, the Junior Singles was played at Allenton and MSA greens.

Some great bowling was witnessed and post section play will be played at Allenton green on April 18. On Sunday the MSA flag flew high when the MSA colts and junior men won the title of Champion of Champions for 2015. The colts were, John Withell and Linton Muir and the juniors, Larry Neal and Darcy Lysaght. Well done men -you have done your club and yourselves proud. The Taylor Trophy has now been concluded and the winner will be announced on closing day April 18th.

During a singles match being played, the marker [no names mentioned] nearly had a ’down trou’ - every bowlers fear but he managed to acquire some braces to keep his loose fitting draws on and save himself embarrassment. He then thought he was ‘Charlie Chaplin’ and continued to act accordingly. Have you got your entry in for the Get-Away?.

RSA Women’s Section President Colleen Hands welcomed members on Thursday March 26. Apologies were received. Hope played the piano for the R.S.A. song. Sympathy was given to anyone who has sadly lost a loved one. Sick members were wished a speedy recovery. Reminder of Poppy Day on Thursday February 26. We played housie, Colleen is an excellent caller. Several winners and great fun.

Competitions: Small Animal: 1st Janet Johnstone, 2nd Una Green, 3rd Judy Peck 1 Rose: 1st Betty Weastell, 2nd Judy Peck, 3rd Una Green Friendship Day was held on March 11.

Twelve visitors from Temuka attended.

A lovely meal was served. Patroness Ella Ferris was congratulated on her 90th birthday. Ella spoke of the friendship of members. The entertainment was singing by the Ashburton ladies. Accompanied by Yvonne Cherry who was thanked for her help. Raffles were drawn. Annual meeting: President Colleen presented

the Competition winner, Margaret Morgan with the Rosebowl. Judy Peck was the runner-up.

Minutes of the 2014 Annual meeting were read and confirmed. Colleen Hands presented her Annual Report.

Hope McIntosh passed a vote of thanks to Colleen for the year’s work. Claire Wesley read the Treasurers Report. No election of officers this year – everyone remains the same. We were entertained by the Electronic Organ Club. What versatility. A mix of vocal and instrumental items. Members really enjoyed these performers who were thanked for sharing their talents.

Raffles were won by Brenda Law and Pat Cannan. Afternoon tea was served to end a busy afternoon.

St John Fellowship St John Fellowship’s March meeting was held in the St John rooms. The general meeting was followed by the AGM, with the Presidential report given and the Financial Statement. The election of officers resulted in Patron Cip Sparrow, President Val Fleming; Vice President Margaret Taylor; Secretary Ruth Martin; Treasurer Maureen Randall. After a shared evening meal, Marilyn Cross entertained us, by telling about her early life and her gift of writing poetry. She showed us two books of poetry for children and read some to us. A very interesting and talented speaker. Next meeting 17th May

Tinwald Branch New Zealand Red Cross On March 18 Branch Members and guests gathered to celebrate the Branch 50th Jubilee exactly 50 years to the day after the Branch was formed in 1965.

The day began with the planting of six beech trees in the Tinwald Domain followed by formalities and lunch at D and C Williamson’s “Coniston”. President Lynette Lovett welcomed members and guests from Rakaia Branch, Red Cross staff from Service Centre Christchurch and Tinwald Hall Society. A spray was presented to Patroness Moira Mackenzie. As the Red Cross Principles were read a candle was lit for each of the seven Principles followed by the lighting of the Jubilee Candle. A Toast was proposed to the Branch and replied to.

Grace was said by Maureen McDowell.

The Minutes of the first Meeting was read. Judy Skevington read the History of the Tinwald Red Cross Branch. The list of Office Holders from 1965 to 2015 was read.

Six members were presented with Service Awards and medals: 50 years Service Moira Mackenzie and Maureen McDowell.

The Jubilee Cake made by Jim Burgess and iced by member Janet Clinton was cut by Moira Mackenzie and Maureen McDowell. Formalities were interspersed with dessert, cake and coffee. A most enjoyable and memorable day.

UA3 Don Geddes presentation to U3A at this month’s meeting, focused on his time spent working with DOC in the Auckland Islands.

First Don gave us some history detailing how the stations were set up there during the war to watch for enemy ships.

It was feared an opposing army could to set up a base there for the Pacific region.

The Government of the day were smart enough to man these stations with research scientists to study the region.

Don got the opportunity go with doc for five weeks, mainly on the Adam Island.

His work was to study the bird life and gather information of species declining in population.

Some of the possible reasons for the decline in sea bird population is thought to be the rising temperature is causing the birds to fly further for food.

Exposing them to the dangers of fishing nets, etc.

He delighted us with an amazing power point display of the photos he had taken while there.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Emotional responses to work matters kick in just as you’re ready to spit the dummy on the income front or when there’s nothing in it for you.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) With the professional and money gods set to hijack the long weekend you can afford to buy into today’s playful and romantically charged lunar vibes.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) There’s not only a chance to give your emotional responses a voice but the past and unsaid words, with the doors open to second chances.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With professional matters in safe hands and ticking over your social life needs serious attention, especially if it’s been neglected of late.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Venus has spent the past 2 weeks fuelling your professional desires, expectations and confidence so there’s a chance today to walk the talk.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Rather than patiently waiting for the doors to open in your comfort zone you’re ready to smash down the walls ahead of the long weekend ahead.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) It’s been 2 years since Mars last visited your financial sector and from Day 1 he’s working here to make up for lost time. Progress is possible.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With Ceres in her final days in your communication sector it’s essential you work with her to ensure communication lines are open.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) While you’re about to head into the long weekend there’s a chance today to consider professional options.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) That TGIF feeling is kicking in early ahead of the long weekend, with a taste for adventure and fun something you’re not willing to wait for.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Forces come together today to capture an opportunity for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Where you’ve had a chance over the last few days to put your income and work options on the same page a clearer picture is emerging.

Numbers test for Hampstead

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Kick-off comes early for round two of the Combined Country Cup with all but one of the 10 games being played tonight.

The one game not moved to be played under lights tonight ahead of the long weekend has Southern host Saracens - which will be played tomorrow afternoon in Hinds.

Southern find themselves on top of section two after a bonus

point win over Ohoka to start the new competition - a superb start considering they have lost the first five games of the previous two seasons.

The other side stoked to start off on a winning note was Hampstead.

However Hampstead coach Regan Broker knows the big test for his side is filling the bus to Tai Tapu tonight, not to mention facing last year’s runnersup Waihora.

“This is where we will see where we are at,” he said.

“It won’t be an easy game but we plan to take the entire 30man squad on the trip for a bit of team building.”

Last season Hampstead struggled for numbers and attended some away games with as little as 17 players after scratching round for numbers on game day - something Broker looked to change this year.

Hampstead had over 45 play-

ers turn up for a pre-season match and they have had the unfamiliar situation of turning players back to the Bs. Methven take on competition new boys Rolleston who gave a good account of themselves against Waihora last weekend.

Methven coach Dale Palmer was not going to take the newcomers lightly and after a bonus point win over Saracens, the big plus for Palmer is the return of Heartland XV representatives

Brenton Connell and Gary Redmond for round two.

Over in section one, both Celtic and Rakaia are at home chasing their first win.

Celtic are at home to Southbridge who held on to beat an injury hit Rakaia 37-35.

Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said that although they picked up the two points they can’t afford to drop too many games early in the season if they want to feature in the playoffs.
