Burglary numbers on a downturn By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
Win DVDP14s
Local police charged with reducing the number of burglaries on non-residential properties around the district are confident that a recent downward trend will continue. Police announced yesterday that burglaries on non-residential properties around Canterbury had decreased by more than 15 per cent in three months leading up to the end of July from the three months prior. And for Mid South Canterbury Prevention Manager, Senior Sergeant Dylan Murray – that’s a pleasing result.
“We’ve got an operation running currently that has been building on top of what we have normally been doing,” he said. “The national standard is for residential burglaries to be attended 98 per cent of the time within 48 hours, but that has been one of our goals for all burglaries and we have been hitting that mark so that is a good sign.” Murray said the focus of Operation Confidence was not just on burglaries, and included other high volume crimes and thefts of items such as motor vehicles. “Through face-to-face, phone or email
contact we are getting some really quality prevention advice through to people,” he said. Businesses had been big improvers in making themselves more resistant to burglary, but the overall area held some surprises, Murray said. “With the size of the areas like in Mid South Canterbury all it takes is one burglar to commit a lot of burglaries and there will be a spike in stats,” he said. Operation Confidence is one that is ongoing, and Murray is confident it will continue to have positive effects. “I think it is going to have a big impact in the long run,” he said.

Stepping down as deputy chief By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
After 20 years as deputy chief of the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade, Graeme Baker is hanging up his white helmet and taking a step back in his role with the brigade. A veteran firefighter of nearly 53 years, Baker is stepping down as deputy and will take up an operational support role within the brigade, handing over the reins to Jeff Marshall. “Now is the right time, I’ve done my bit and it is time to give someone else a chance,” he said. “It doesn’t tie me down so much now, whenever I was going away on holiday I was feeling guilty I was leaving it all to (chief fire officer) Alan (Burgess).” Burgess is also close to 50 years in the brigade, and Baker said he was conscious of the fact that, if they were both to retire at or around the same time, it may make life difficult for those left behind. “Someone had to do it, so I made the move,” he said. While his experience will not be on hand all of the time, Baker said he is more than confident in the experience and quality of the other members of the brigade. “The brigade is really experienced and a lot of those senior station officers and station officers have been doing it for a long time now,” he said. “They are all very capable and everyone is very capable as well.” Baker’s role with operational support means he will be on hand if there are any major fires and will be helping out with some administration work. “I will just work where I can, I couldn’t pull the pin completely,” he said. Baker’s father was the chief of the brigade for 30 years and naturally he followed in his father’s

While he did not expect to make it to 50 years, he knew a lengthy time in the brigade was ahead of him. Many firefighters highlight the Seales Winslow fire, the Mt Somers fire or the Roller Flour
Mills fire as the most memorable ones in their firefighting careers, but Baker’s most memorable had a special connection. “The main fire would have to be when our building went up in smoke,” he said. Baker owned a carpet and fur-

nishings business with two of his brothers at the southern end of East Street which caught fire in 1991. “I have been deputy for most of the major fires we have had which has meant I haven’t been involved that much as it is the
station officers that go out on the first truck as a rule,” he said. The 71-year-old said while there has been an increase in the number of medical calls and car accidents they attended, the basic principles of firefighting still applied. “It is still the old thing that it takes water to put a fire out,” he said. “The service has changed quite a bit and it combined to create FENZ (Fire and Emergency New Zealand) and that all seems to be mixing in together well which is good. Motor accidents were something that had become more frequent, and were some of the most challenging things to deal with, Baker said. “I wouldn’t say it takes a toll but some of those things you can’t dismiss from your mind,” he said. Ensuring there is sufficient mental health support has been a big focus of FENZ which Baker said is good to see. “The service has always had an excellent peer support system and now if we come across a traumatic scene the comms centre will make contact and follow-up to see if any of the guys want help, it is a good system,” he said. The biggest support throughout his 52 years has been his wife Jenny, and family, Baker said. “I just want to add my appreciation for my wife Jenny, she was a rock for me and a big help,” he said. Baker’s pager still sounded at 2am and at 6am on Monday, an element he would not be missing unless he was to retain his pager, a small detail that still needed to be worked out. “I will still be around to see where I can be of any help,” he said.

Rapid growth for farmer service By Linda Clarke
linda.c@theguardian.co.nz
An Ashburton company has joined an elite group of the country’s business overachievers. This year’s 2019 Deloitte Fast 50 index regional award winners, announced in Christchurch last week, included Wholesale Seeds as the region’s fastest growing agribusiness. Wholesale Seeds, which provides agronomy advice and products to farmers, also placed on the Master of Growth indices, which is a separate category within the Fast 50 programme that recognises more mature companies that have shown sustained growth over the past five years. Wholesale Seeds chief executive Patrick Davis said he was delighted the company had made the Fast 50 and it followed a change of direction four years ago. The company was set up in 2008 and sold seeds wholesale, but in 2015 moved into the retail market and sold directly to farmers. Davis said the company’s wider focus expanded to offer a full range of agronomy advice and practical implementation to farmers, who were often too busy to properly manage tricky high-input crops like fodder beet. “It’s really an end-to-end system, a full agronomical service that includes technical advice and practical implementation of that advice.” He said the company was fully invested in the end result and measured how the crop had performed. Wholesale Seeds has also made a big investment in people, growing staff from five to 27 over the past three years. They include a range of thinkers, from just qualified tertiary graduates to those with three decades of experience in the field. Davis said farmers could out-

source all or a part of the growing process to their agronomists or brainstorm about changes on farm. An important part of the process was record-keeping and Wholesale Seeds’ agronomists use the cloud-based software AgWorld, so data can be fed into nutrient budgets and farm environment plans. Their business philosophy is based around good information, good relationships and trust, and their clients are in the top 25 per cent of performers. Davis says farmers are in a pe-
riod of big change as they get to grips with environmental limits and rules that could be a distraction to day-to-day farming operations. Sometimes they needed to outsource work so they had time to strategise for the future. “There is so much compliance and administration and reporting, and it is software driven. They just don’t have the time.” Being nimble and smart, without losing production, was achievable, he said. Davis, chief operating officer Izaak McDonald and chief financial officer Lance Bellew repre-
sented the company at the Fast 50 awards in Christchurch and Davis said it was surprisingly emotional. It was great for the business to be recognised for its hard work in such a competitive industry, he said. Wholesale Seeds now progresses to a national Fast 50 business event in Auckland in November. Companies that featured on the Master of Growth indices must have had revenue in excess of $5 million in the 2015 financial year. The index is determined by revenue percentage growth, just like the Fast 50 index – where growth
is measured over a three-year period. Awards spokesperson Victoria Butterworth said the Fast 50 programme was now in the 19th year and the number and calibre of businesses entering had gone from strength to strength. “This year, the average revenue of a Fast 50 business is $12m, whereas Master of Growth businesses are averaging around $36m. “It has been very pleasing to see some strong representation from our regions across a wide range of sectors.”

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang set to open By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR is set for take-off in Ashburton. Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre members will stage the classic production about a family and its flying car this week. Sixty-four actors, singers and dancers aged from seven to 17, have been rehearsing throughout Term 3 in Variety Theatre Ashburton rooms. Pack-in to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre across the road was this week, as they gear up for the show which opens on Friday. Secretary Trena Watt said cast members and their many helpers had been fantastic, and all was going according to plan. Parents had come to the party with their creativity when it came to the set, props and costumes. One of the dads, Mark Brown, had led a team of fellow adults in constructing the show’s starring vehicle, using a wide range of materials including parts of real cars. Watt said for about half the cast it was their first time on stage with Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre. This had been a fun challenge as they grew in confidence with their experienced fellow cast members providing a solid backbone. Cast members playing protagonists and new to lead roles were bringing in freshness and emerging talent. The show is directed by Alice Sollis of Timaru, musically directed by Peter Cairns of Christchurch and choreographed by renowned local dancer Jessie Thomson. Cairns said it was great to see the cast aptly handling the show’s classics, including the theme song, Chu-Chi Face, Toot Sweets and Me ol’ Bamboo. “They are all outstanding,” he said.

Postal voting reminder

December opening date for Methven skatepark By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
“I think a lot of Methven kids will be given skateboards for Christmas,” says Kidzmethven committee member Sally-Anne Kircher. She and fellow Kidzmethven members are excited their signature project of the town’s skatepark is finally taking shape after first being mooted more than 10 years ago. Concreting is to begin next week and Methven Skatepark is due to open on December 21. The project, costing about $150,000,
has been made possible thanks to avid fundraising, donations and grants, not to mention the commitment of Kidzmethven members, who have never given up despite difficulties finding the right site. This problem was solved more recently when they managed to secure Ashburton District Council reserve land in the town centre at the corner of Bank and McMillan streets. A walk-through of the park was held on Sunday, attracting about 35 members of the public. The skatepark layout with bowl and maps is to feature earthy greens and reds, com-
plementing the Mid Canterbury outdoors. Kircher said this would give the skatepark some character, and those at the walkthrough had been impressed when looking at concept plans and the earthworks done so far. “It’s going to be quite special,” she said. Kircher herself was a mum of two young skateboarders in the early days of the project, but today her oldest son Sam is a dad himself and one of the drivers behind the project. The 26-year-old engineering designer is working alongside Civil Concrete owner operator Josh Horn.
Ashburton electors are being urged to vote, with the district lagging behind previous years in returned voting papers. Just 3553 of the district’s 21,865 registered voters had posted back their papers or deposited them in the ballot box at council as at 3.51pm on Monday – or 16.25 per cent. At the same stage of the 2016 local body elections, 18.71 per cent of people had voted. Western ward voters have returned 17.60 per cent, Eastern voters have returned 16.45 per cent and urban voters 15.80. Only 53.20 per cent of voters actually voted in the last election. Local Government New Zealand is urging anyone who hasn’t received voting papers in the mail to pop into their local council office or contact their local electoral officer to make a special vote. “If you haven’t received local election voting papers in the mail, don’t worry, there’s still time to make a special vote,” said LGNZ chief executive Malcolm Alexander. Voting closes at midday on Saturday, October 12. Special votes are typically made when an eligible elector hasn’t enrolled before August 16, and therefore won’t receive voting papers in the mail. They can also be made if the voting paper has been damaged or lost, if it’s not practicable for the elector to cast an ordinary vote (eg is overseas) or if the elector is on the Unpublished Roll. The Ashburton council has issued several special votes already, for people whose papers haven’t turned up, and staff have had to remind some people that there will be no polling booth for this election, as they had not realised it was postal voting only. LGNZ is also urging people to send their postal votes on Vote Day – this Saturday, October 5. “Voting papers have to arrive at council offices by midday Saturday, October 12, so sending them in on Vote Day gives them plenty of time to get through the postal system,” Alexander said.
Two weeks since dairy worker’s death By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
Two weeks after he was found with fatal injuries in his bed on a dairy farm near Rakaia, the person or persons responsible for the death of dairy farm worker Tony Waldron remain unknown. Police say they are following strong lines of enquiry and expect to bring the case to a successful resolution. Scene examinations have been completed at the address where Waldron lived on Gardiners Road and at another Gardiners Road property that was raided by the armed offenders squad the day after Waldron was found. At the second address specialist police squads such as the National Dive Squad were required to search through irrigation and effluent ponds, and were later used in searching the Rakaia riverbed near the State Highway 1 bridge. A property in the Christchurch suburb of Papanui was also searched and was examined as a scene.
Tony Grant Waldron was found with fatal injuries in his bed two weeks ago today. Detective senior sergeant Richard Quested who is leading the investigation said police are confident it will be brought to a successful resolution. “The investigation is progressing and we have gathered a lot of evidence and informa-
tion from the enquiries undertaken to date,” he said. “We are working through the information we have collected and are assessing its relevance. “Police are confident that the matter will be brought to a successful conclusion.” When asked last week if the
crime was thought to be gang related, Quested said they are conducting a thorough investigation and following a number of lines of enquiry, but that there is no indication the attack is gang related. The detective senior sergeant was also unable to elaborate about those whom police believe were responsible for Waldron’s death other than that police do not believe this to be a random attack. “I also do not believe there is any risk to the public in general,” he said. It was initially reported that Waldron had suffered a gunshot wound, but Quested said that was later discovered not to be the case. Quested was unable to confirm how Waldron suffered the injury that led to his death. Police are still asking anyone with information that could assist the enquiry to contact them on 105 or go to the nearest police station. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Epic tale behind award-winning work By Susan Sandys
Left – Rhonye McIlroy is inspired by New Zealand’s colonial history. Below – The Plight of Betty Guard has taken out the top award at the Tasman National Art Awards 2019.
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Finding inspiration in her great, great, great-grandmother’s epic tale of survival after being taken hostage, Hakatere artist Rhonye McIlroy has created an award-winning painting. The Plight of Betty Guard won the Premier Award at the Tasman National Art Awards at the weekend. The painting is a wedding portrait of Betty before she narrowly escaped death in 1834, during colonisation of New Zealand, in what is referred to historically as The Harriet Affair. “Her story is such a huge inspiration to me, and I have such a passion for it. All I want to do is paint the story. I have so much that I want to paint yet,” McIlroy said. According to New Zealand History, The Harriet Affair began when whaler Jacky Guard and his wife Betty and their two children were caught in a gale as they returned from Sydney aboard the Harriet. The ship was driven ashore and for several days they and crew members were castaways on the Taranaki coast, making tents from the wreck’s sails. The party was attacked by Maori, and 12 were killed, including Betty’s brother. The Guard family and a number of others were captured, but
PHOTOS SUPPLIED
Jacky, and several other men, were released two weeks later with a ransom demand of a casket of gunpowder. They instead returned with soldiers and firepower, four months later, after securing military support in Sydney. The 60 men from the 50th Regiment became the first British troops to come into armed combat with Maori. Betty, and daughter Louisa, had been living under the protection of a chief, Oaoiti. He was bayoneted and captured, and then given up in exchange for the mother and baby at a nearby pa. The rescue of John Guard junior was some days later as the troops bombarded another near-
by pa. History records the boy was grabbed from an elderly chief who was then summarily shot. The successful rescue left a bitter aftertaste among humanitarian groups, sparking a petition to the British government to do more to protect Maori, while the committee of the House of Commons condemned the use of excessive force. Betty went onto have many more children and lived until 1870, however Louisa died in early 1835, possibly as a result of injuries she had sustained in the initial skirmish. McIlroy said with there being no photos in existence of Betty, she had painted what she thought
Betty may have looked like. “It has been said she was a remarkable woman – tall, slim and very alert,” McIlroy said. McIlroy said she was proud and excited to have her painting win the award. “I have so many more works to come, all surrounding the amazing life of the Guards,” she said. She would also soon be picking up two oil paintings from the 1800s she had bought, which had The Harriet Affair as their subject. The paintings had once been in
her family, but were later sold. “They were just old paintings hanging on grandmother Amy’s wall when we were kids. “It wasn’t until I started painting and getting involved in the history side that I realised how much they need to stay in our family for future generations,” she said.
Not feeling up to driving? – then don’t drive New Zealand Police, the NZ Transport Agency, and St John are all calling on people to stop taking risks with their lives and the lives of others on the road around them. “People are still getting behind the wheel when they are drunk, high, or too tired to drive,” acting national manager for Road Policing inspector Gini Welch, Welch said it is important to plan ahead if you’re drinking; organise a sober driver, share a cab, or leave cab money in your mailbox. “And if you hadn’t planned to
drink but you find yourself doing so, make a plan B before you’ve had too much alcohol to make a sensible decision,” she said. St John territory manager Lisa Buckingham said their ambulances officers see the devastating results of drink-driving. “All too often we are called to crashes where people are needlessly injured or killed due to drunk drivers. Our staff deal with some extremely traumatic injuries and challenging scenes,” she said. NZ Transport Agency general manager safety, health and
environment Greg Lazzaro said drivers need to understand the consequences of their actions and take responsibility for the decisions they make. “Drink-driving inflicts a huge amount of pain and suffering on New Zealand families and communities, and it’s incredibly disappointing that so many people continue to put themselves and others at risk by driving while impaired. Police are working hard to keep our roads safe, but we all need to make good decisions when it comes to alcohol and driving,” he said.
Lazzaro says NZTA’s current drink-driving advertising campaign aims to reminds people that in addition to the safety risks, drink-driving also has potentially dire consequences for individual drivers. “The consequences of a drink-driving charge or conviction can be disastrous. Not only can it mean a loss of face with family, friends, and work colleagues, there is also the very real potential of losing your job, your insurance and your credibility, especially for firsttime offenders,” he said.
Welch says it’s about making sensible decisions before you get in a vehicle. “Everybody knows you shouldn’t drive after you’ve been drinking. People also know it’s hard to concentrate when you’re exhausted,” she said. “Driving tired can be just as dangerous as driving drunk or drugged. When you’re driving you need to be sober, focused, and alert. “Road safety is up to everybody on the road, so look after yourselves and other road users.”

OUR VIEW
A special celebration for a special group A
district’s heartbeat so often is determined by those who are willing to give their time for the betterment of the people who live in it. Those folk who are worth their weight in gold and don’t mind that they’ve whittled away countless hours of their life by giving their time to something, without any expectation of reward or recognition. On Saturday one of those local groups celebrated a significant milestone. The Mid Canterbury group of Riding for the Disabled celebrated being here for 45 years.

Irrelevant of the fact of what purpose they serve, that an organisation, which relies so heavily on the volunteer hours of people to ensure it runs smoothly and safely, have managed to maintain a presence for such an extended period of time is quite remarkable.
And how lucky are we to have them here with us. The numbers revealed are pretty impressive. Over those 45 years that one group has been a part of enjoyment and a break away from the normal for close to 3000 people. Offering time, encouragement and enjoyment for each of these people. And of course, we as a community have played a role in helping the cause at some point as well through financial assistance. It might just have been a raffle ticket, or supporting an event, but every little bit in a situation
like that helps and it’s vital we continue to do so for an organisation like Riding for the Disabled to ensure they are here for another 45 years. I’ve borne witness to just how much of a difference Riding for the Disabled can make for a young person with disabilities and it’s no wonder that people are so willing to give their time to this cause as the smiles and sheer excitement on the faces of youngsters is far greater than any kind of financial retribution could be. Truly, it’s quite incredible to see and if you ever get the opportunity to head along at some point
and be a part of a class, or just to watch, I’d highly recommend that you do it. Of course, they are but just one organisation of such found within our community we are blessed with so many of them, all equally as deserving of praise for their efforts as the next. But, special occasions call for special mentions and that’s exactly what Mid Canterbury Riding for the Disabled have enjoyed over the past week and they’re certainly deserving of getting a round of applause for all that they have done and all that they do. Long may it continue.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, October 2, the 275th day of 2019. There are 90 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the US Supreme Court as the court opened its new term. On this date: In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralysed on his left side. In 1941, during World War Two a New Zealand pilot saved a Scottish village – Carlyle Gray Everiss and another pilot were returning from an air combat exercise on 2 October 1941 when the engine of his Spitfire stalled over the mining village of Cowie. With his crippled plane heading straight for a tightly packed row of houses, Everiss refused to bail out and made a desperate attempt to gain altitude. While he managed to clear the village his plane was thrown into an uncontrollable tailspin and crashed into railway sidings at a nearby coal mine. German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital. In 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed. In 1950, the comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers. In 1970, one of two chartered twinengine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colorado, killing 31 of the 40 people on board.

Local infrastructure crucial L
ast week, the council announced a major upgrade to Ashburton’s wastewater infrastructure will soon begin. The $7 million Ashburton River Crossing and Pump Station project will see a new, larger wastewater pipe installed under the Ashburton River from Milton Road South and connected to a pump station that will be built next to the wastewater treatment plant in Tinwald. This significant piece of work will take 14 months to complete, starting November 4, 2019 and finishing in December 2020. Like the timeframe suggests, this project is no small feat, and the location of the work will affect parts of the Ashburton/Hakatere and Ashburton-Lake Hood river trails. The purpose of this necessary project is to future-proof the infrastructure for Ashburton’s continued population growth. It’s crucial to residents, both

now, and into the future. Water services (which also include drinking water and surface water) are some of the many local assets that sustain our way of life and add to the liveability of our district. A great deal of forward-thinking goes into making sure these services continue to meet residents’ needs. Roads, waste recovery and recovery infrastructure are other key provisions the council delivers. Each year, when the council sits down to decide on the projects that will be funded in the district as part of the Annual Plan, local infrastructure is one of

our major considerations. For example, this year our three infrastructure priorities are completing a detailed business case for Ashburton’s second urban bridge; budgeting for upgrades to a number of district water supplies; and – of course, the Ashburton River Crossing and Pump Station project. The delivery of these items can have far-reaching consequences for our people, places, economy and environment, so they are at the fore-front of our minds, as our business-as-usual programmes continue. Seipp Construction will be carrying out the Ashburton River Crossing and Pump Station project on the council’s behalf next month. They will install the new pipeline from the end of Milton Road South (Ashburton side of the river), across towards the wastewater treatment plant between Boundary Road and Grove Farm Road.

YOUR VIEW Daffodil Day The Cancer Society are once again overwhelmed by the generosity of the Mid Canterbury community with over $20,000 donated on Daffodil Day and more than $6000 raised thanks to the support of community groups, schools, preschools and rest homes fundraising. Thank you also to our principal sponsor, ANZ, for supporting the work we do year after year. We truly appreciate the support of the Ashburton staff who fundraise on our behalf and are so grateful for the $22,000 raised at their annual Daffodil Day Quiz. A growing number of New Zealanders are reliant on the support services provided free by the Cancer Society. A recent survey by the Cancer Society, ahead of Daffodil Day, found that well over a third of respondents, who had cancer or had supported a loved one through cancer, rely heavily on accommodation and transport services to attend treatment. A similar number also said that these, and other services, may
have been out of reach if they had not been available for free through the Cancer Society. By donating money on Daffodil Day you are helping your local community access the support they need when faced with a cancer diagnosis. For example: • Today – across New Zealand, Cancer Society volunteers will drive around 2800 kilometres getting people to and from their treatment appointments. • Tonight – the Cancer Society will provide accommodation for 130 people at the five lodges it operates close to major hospitals. • In the past year – specialist nurses have been able to answer more than 8000 information line calls and have spent more than 5400 hours providing information and support. • Each day – the care team have met face-to-face with 45 people who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis; and they will call, text or email nearly 300 others. Many more Kiwis facing cancer will meet with cancer nurses, counsellors and other specialists,

attend support groups and workshops, and even exercise and relaxation classes. None of this would be possible without the generous support of New Zealand donors and volunteers, particularly as the Cancer Society receives no direct government funding. We can’t thank you enough for supporting the Cancer Society and raising awareness for the one in three people affected by cancer in New Zealand each year. Thanks to your help, there is hope.

No longer a nation to be proud of Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud. A country of differing nationalities and cultures striving to do their bit to help make New Zealand a wonderful country to live in. It is despicable under this MMP system we have a portion of MPs who hold ministerial portfolios
unelected by the population at large. This is not democracy. It is socialistic dictatorship. Up until two years ago this country, even under Helen Clark’s leadership, was a nation to be proud of. What has happened now is a divided nation of hatred and distrust between town and country. A left wing coalition government determined to destroy the very fabric of society as we have known it for the last 180 years. Farming contributes 60 per cent of GDP and provides a living for many people employed in the service industries supporting small towns up and down the country. Lange claimed farming was a sunset industry in the 1980s, how wrong he was and now we have left wingers trashing the industry again. The callousness of their actions is having far-reaching effects on the morale and wellbeing of hardworking, dedicated farmers and their families. Talk about a government being fair to all walks of life in New Zealand is so far-fetched, and unethi-

cal, callous and unjust. People that spend their livelihoods in the farming industry do it, not only for the lifestyle, but also to ensure their properties have been nurtured and the soil and environment is left in a very good condition for future generations. The rhetoric of political overtones on climate change attacking farmers and a deliberate intention to destroy farming as we know it defies the imagination. Is there no feeling for these families who are dedicated, hard-working people? Some 41,000 years ago this planet went through a warming era. It is cyclical. The axis of the planet has shifted two degrees – from 22 degrees to 24 degrees. That in itself can create mayhem with the world’s weather – more turbulence and unpredictable weather. There is never any mention of sun-spot activity which can also have a dramatic effect on the weather. A bigger threat to this planet is over-population and nuclear war. Allan Andrews

Did Reserve Bank get new rules right? NZME
The Reserve Bank’s proposal to make banks hold more capital will have a smaller impact on interest rates than it had estimated, according to two experts in an independent review of the process. The Reserve Bank yesterday morning made the findings of the independent review public, ahead of its final decision in early December. All three of the academics commissioned to review the RBNZ’s capital proposals agreed that it was robust, considered and did not need to be substantively redressed. The Reserve Bank is proposing a lift in the amount of risk-weighted capital retail banks hold, from 8.5 per cent to 16 per cent. The increase is designed to make banks safer and better designed to handle periods of financial stress by holding enough capital to reduce the probability of a financial crisis in New Zealand to a one in 200-year event. Australian bank bosses have pushed back, calling it overly conservative and warning that it could limit the availability of credit in some sectors of the economy
and increase interest costs for borrowers. But two of the three academics concluded that the RBNZ had in fact overstated the impact of the capital proposals on bank funding costs. They argued that bank profits in this country are more than strong enough to handle the higher capital ratios. “If the proposed higher capital requirements have a smaller impact on bank funding costs than estimated by the Reserve Bank, the share of cost that banks pass on to customers in the form of higher interest loans can be expected to be smaller,” Dr James Cumming of Macquarie University in Australia said. This contrasts sharply with major banks such as Westpac which have argued the Reserve Bank underestimated the likely cost to borrowers. In its submission on the proposals, Westpac said it estimated the increase in capital could up the cost to borrowers by adding more than 100 basis points to the interest rate on a home loan – an increase of around $6000 to an average home loan in Auckland.

Conservation and a Green Party MP, used her powers under the Overseas Investment Act to block a proposal by OceanaGold to buy 178 hectares of farmland near its Waihi mine. The land was to be used for a new tailings dam. In a split decision with Labour colleague and Associate Finance Minister David Clark, she argued there was no net economic benefit from allowing gold mining in the area to continue, given the loss of productive farmland. Oceana has sought a judicial review of her decision. Bathurst, which is headquartered in Wellington but listed on the ASX, plans to install mining infrastructure on the land at the Canterbury site to mine the neighbouring area. Eventually, the land itself will be mined subject to resource consents being granted,

Bathurst Resources has been cleared to buy a 31.5 hectare rural “lifestyle block” to extend its Canterbury coal mining operations just five months after Land Information Minister Eugenie Sage blocked expansion of a gold mine in the Bay of Plenty because it would replace “productive farmland”. Bathurst, the country’s biggest coal miner, has been cleared by the Overseas Investment Office to spend $680,000 buying the land at Glentunnel, west of Darfield. It is about 2km from the firm’s Canterbury coal mine near Coalgate. In a summary of its decision, the OIO noted that the land is currently used as a lifestyle block and is not an economic farming unit. In May, Sage, also Minister of

lengthening the life of the mine by 13 years from 2022 to 2035. The office noted that the mine supplies coal to local dairy companies, promoting the region’s economic interests. Without it, coal would otherwise have to be trucked in from greater distances. “The applicant intends to retain existing jobs at the mine from 2022 to 2035, and create some new jobs associated with the mine,” the office said. “It also intends to introduce capital for development purposes and mitigate some environmental risks by implementing some protection measures for the endangered Canterbury mudfish habitat in the Bush Gully Stream that runs through the land.” Coal Action Network Aotearoa attacked the decision, saying the government was operating in two “alternative realities”.

fits of imputation credits on dividends, he said. A third academic, Ross Levine from the University of California, said that while the RBNZ’s working was sound, he saw two exceptions relating to areas that could have had more focus. He argued the RBNZ had not sufficiently factored in the influence of incentives on bank executives which “limits the analysis of how capital requirements influence bank stability and efficiency”.
argued that the Reserve Bank has overstated the cost of holding extra capital. He suggests that locally listing on the NZX would be an obvious solution for the big four banks. The big four banks could “raise additional equity financing either by listing in the New Zealand stock exchange or by sourcing through their Australian parent banks”. If they listed in New Zealand the cost of increased equity financing could be further reduced for shareholders through tax bene-

Levine says another area of concern is around the degree of dynamism within the New Zealand lending sector. Levine warns that the proposals would lift the cost of banking, but that impact on the economy depends on the extent to which non-banks emerge to provide alternative sources of finance. New Zealand’s second-tier lending (finance company) sector was largely wiped out 10 years ago in a series of company collapses. The heavyweight trio of independent experts are all academics although they have a mix of commercial and regulatory experience. The Reserve Bank has indicated it will consider all comments and suggestions made by the independent experts and is also working through points raised in the submission process. It says it will refine its estimates of costs and benefits, consider a range of perspectives on interest rate impacts, assess the impact of incentives on various groups in the financial system and undertake additional analysis of the definition of capital and processes for determining the level of risk-weighted assets.

Dual ASX/NZX-listed outdoor equipment and clothing retailer Kathmandu Holdings is set to acquire surfing brand Rip Curl for $A350 million ($NZ368m). Kathmandu has entered into an agreement with the Australian retail company known for its trendy wetsuits and beach-inspired apparel, founded in 1969. Christchurch-based Kathmandu says the Rip Curl acquisition creates a $1 billion opportunity for the company, together with its Oboz Footwear brand. The transaction is to be financed through a fully written “accelerated entitlement offer”
to raise $144.5m, and a placement of approximately $32m of Kathmandu shares to the founders and CEO of Rip Curl. About $230m will be funded through secured debt facilities. The transaction will require shareholder approval at a special meeting scheduled for October 18. The acquisition is expected to lift Kathmandu’s earnings by 10 per cent in the 2020 financial year. Rip Curl was founded by surfers Brian Singer and Douglas Warbick in Bells Beach, Victoria. The retail and wholesale brand has a long history of surfing and has sponsored some of the world’s top athletes, including up-and-coming talent.

Spice it up with Mexican The flavours of Mexico take a lot of beating and while you might not want to go down the full central American culinary path, it’s easy to bring Mexico into the kitchen with a few spices and a little effort. Huevos rancheros

For more than four decades I’ve lived here in Ashburton, raising a family and running a successful business. I bring extensive financial and governance experience to the Council table, asking the hard questions to get the basics right. I'll focus on: Keeping a lid on rates: Every decision comes with a cost that comes straight from your pocket. Council has an obligation to spend your money wisely. Quality infrastructure: Prudent investment in the critical infrastructure Ashburton needs and avoiding another council blowout. Responsible governance: Tackling the big challenges and opportunities our district faces rather than wasting time on nonsensical issues.

■■RUGBY
Ardie’s sporting specs appeal NZME All Blacks loose forward Ardie Savea will wear rugby goggles in the team’s next Rugby World Cup clash against Canada tomorrow, after trialling them during training this week. The move comes after Savea discovered that the vision had deteriorated in his left eye and realised he had to protect his eyesight. “A couple of years ago I realised I had bad vision in my left eye,” said Savea. “Everything’s kind of blurry. I told All Blacks doctor Tony Page that it was getting worse and now we’re doing something about it. “Doc notified me that World Rugby had some goggles that were approved and everyone has been really supportive. In terms of vision and seeing, it’s pretty sweet, and it’s now just a matter of getting used to them.” In May this year World Rugby approved the use of the goggles at all levels of rugby to allow those who are visually impaired to play the game. The approval came after extensive development and robust trialling of the eyewear.
All Black Ardie Savea is determined to protect the sight in his remaining good right eye. The type of goggles which Savea will wear have been approved by World Rugby and are designed to be safe for both the player wear-
ing them and those coming into contact with the player. Savea follows in the footsteps of Italian player Ian McKinley who was the
first international player to wear the goggles. Page said Savea had worn the goggles at training in Beppu this
week and they hadn’t affected his ability to play the game at the highest level, and he was now ready to wear them in the test against Canada tonight. “It’s probably been the most challenging conditions that you can get (to test them). Humidity at up to 90 per cent, 20 degrees (temperature) or so, and hard All Blacks’ training, and he’s done pretty well. It’s great to see someone like Ardie putting them on and being proud of it.” Savea said when he realised that he could potentially lose his sight if his other eye was damaged, then it had been an easy decision to make. “I’ve got my little girl and hopefully future kids and a bigger family, so I want to be able to see. I’m just thinking of the bigger picture and trying to protect my eyes.” Savea said while he didn’t see himself as a role model by wearing the goggles, he was aware of the potential impact of his decision, especially with visually impaired children. “If by me wearing these inspires them to get some, and for them to try out the game of rugby, then it’s a positive all round for our sport.”

Canada star takes aim at Kiwi champ
■■ Golf Ashburton Golf Club September 28 and October 1 – LGU Silver: Sally Lemon 69, Bronze 1: Liz Cabout 69, Bronze 2: Robin Bennett 71 on c/b Nearest the Pins: No 4 Gabites: not struck, No 8 House of Travel: Leigh Wackrow, No 12 Lynn’s small Salon: Sally Lemon, No 14 Todds of Ashburton: Bev Turton, No 18 2nd Shot to Green: Madeleine Stoddart Twos: Liz Cabout No 14
NZME Canada’s Claire Hafner has arrived in Auckland ahead of her tilt at Kiwi star Geovana Peres’ WBO Light Heavyweight crown at Auckland’s Sky City Convention Centre on Friday night – and has immediately pledged to take the title back home to Ottawa. “I am going to win on Friday night,” Hafner said. “It is time to take the belt on to its next journey.” The world’s No. 2 ranked heavyweight, Hafner dropped weight over the Northern Hemisphere summer to make light heavyweight for her title shot, and has arrived in Auckland looking supremely fit and strong. “I am ready to go,” she said. “I am super-excited – typical pre-fight excitement, a little bit of nerves. It is an amazing opportunity.” Hafner and Peres met for the first time at a photo shoot on Auckland’s Cheltenham Beach on Tuesday morning, with the Canadian challenger saying the Kiwi champion appeared to be “exactly what she expected”. “That is a good thing. I have seen some video of her and everything seems to match up.” Hafner, by contrast, is largely an unknown quantity. Her last three wins have come on the road against tough opponents, propelling her up the rankings, however none of those bouts were televised, making schooling up on her a challenge.
Ashburton Vets Golf September 30 – Overall C Alexander 78, second G Sparrow, 20-27 D Osborn 91, N Andrews 93, J Robinson 93, 28+ O Everest 101 Next Game will be October 14 (not October 7 as per card) at Ashburton Golf Club 9.30 for a 10.00am start.

Claire Hafner has arrived in Auckland ahead of her tilt at Kiwi star Geovana Peres. “I love that. I like coming in as an unknown and surprising everybody,” she said. Peres said she wasn’t at all fazed by the lack of knowledge about Hafner. “I am ready for her. My camp this time was so much more intense than the last one. I am prepared for everything and anything. I am much stronger and fitter than last time [a victory over Lani Daniels in March for the vacant WBO title]. “We worked a lot on skills and had a huge variety of sparring – so, yeah, I am ready.” Peres declined to say whether she would alter the high-intensity, front-foot approach that earned her the victory over Daniels in a thrill-
ing encounter. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see. [Hafner] looks like a lovely lady – but I don’t know in the ring what can come. So I can’t make any assumptions. Let’s just go in the ring and see what happens.” Promoter Bruce Glozier of Rival Sports said the event was on track for a sell-out. The main undercard from the event sees Northland’s Daniels take on Auckland’s Tessa Tualevao for the NZ PBC middleweight title – a rematch of a barnstorming drawn contest in August. The card also features an international heavyweight showdown between Australia Herman Ene-Purcell and Kiwi Viliamu Motusaga.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You get a surge of power from helping. Seeing how you can favourably impact another person starts a trend that you definitely should not leave yourself out of – impact your own life favourably, too! TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You can see good in people, even when their actions don’t particularly reflect it. Don’t give more leeway than is good for you. Distinguish decent but temporarily inept from dangerously toxic individuals. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re socially versatile, and could find common ground with an alien. You don’t always have to be agreeable. Sometimes the best rapport is built by recognising and accepting differences. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There are terrible listeners in your life who are prone to making wrong assumptions... you know who they are. Avoid communication errors by going extra lengths to be understood. Put it in writing if need be. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re going through a cycle of increased sensitivity. It won’t last forever, but in the days to come, you’ll need more sleep, less noise, more peace and less exposure to rambunctious people and environments. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Connection is built with compromise. Ideally, the compromise will be inconvenient enough that you feel it and take notice but not inconvenient enough that it seems to steal from your time and energy. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Natural and/or aesthetic surroundings will lift you. Go to green spaces, open sky or anywhere there will be pretty things to delight your eyes. Beauty is soul balm! SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Don’t expect to process things as they happen. It’s inhuman – we are always fractions of a second behind the present due to our slow senses. Some complexities take decades to come to terms with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): As for your rarer traits, don’t waste a second wishing you didn’t have to deal with them, because they will be the source of your most cherished gifts. Figure out what’s good in this. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You have to find that reward system that really works for you. It’s the best thing you can do for your health and your overall sense of self-control. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Sensibilities vary. You’ll hear things that aren’t meant to offend but nonetheless could. Consider letting up. It takes a lot of energy to be offended, and many times it’s not worth it. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You understand the way a person is and will try to help that person navigate in a world that is not so accommodating to special needs. This is an act of protection and love that won’t soon be forgotten.
