Work could be lost from the Mid Canterbury economy thanks to a Government move to outsource school building work to Christchurch.

Modular, transportable buildings will be the preferred option for schools adding new classrooms to cater for growing rolls.

The move signals a shift from building classrooms on site, with new buildings constructed at a factory in Christchurch and shipped out.

While the new prefab classrooms can be built faster than conventional classrooms, principals fear efficiency may

come at the expense of individuality.

The move also marks a blow to local builders, who could lose millions of dollars in building contracts.

Bradford Building’s general manager Mark Wilson said there was no consultation with the local building community about the change.

A surge in Mid Canterbury school rolls has resulted in a building boom, with some schools looking to add up to five new classrooms over the next 12 months.

With building contracts now heading out of the district, local builders will be hit in the pocket.

“It will certainly impact on their fu-

ture workload,” Mr Wilson said.

While the move made sense economically, builders had no say in the decision, he said.

“It would have been nice to know, especially about what opportunities there were for anyone in the building industry to have their input into it,” he said. “We were obviously left out of that circle.”

For local principals, the biggest concern is the lack of autonomy over the design and layout of their new classrooms.

Five things that may interest you

Good news for egg lovers Egg lovers will be happy to know having an egg a day is now okay. The breakfast treat for many Kiwis was once thought to raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. However, the 2015 US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report has reinforced eggs can be part of a healthy, well-balanced diet. While eggs do contain cholesterol, the report has found there is little link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. Another recent study from Yale University’s Prevention Research Center, Effects of egg ingestion on endothelial function in adults with coronary artery disease: a randomised, controlled, crossover trial, has also found that eating eggs daily has no adverse effects on those with, or at risk of heart disease. New Zealand Nutrition Foundation dietitian, Sarah Hanrahan, says it’s good news for egg lovers.

Jackman would consider Bond Hugh Jackman has revealed he would “seriously consider” playing the world’s suavest spy, James Bond, if asked. The actor says he was approached for the role about eight years ago, just before Daniel Craig was chosen to play Bond, but the timing was wrong. “I sort of have (been asked),” the star told the Ten Network’s The Project yesterday. “At the time I was just about to do X-Men 2 and I was like, `Ah, I don’t think it’s the right time’.”

Kermit, Miss Piggy find new love A new piggy is in town, and this time her name is Denise.

After Muppets star characters Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy ended their relationship less than a month ago, both puppets have been given new love interests, according to People magazine. “It appears the plush amphibian has already moved on,” the magazine reported, saying that Kermit “has been spotted around town numerous times” with another pig, a pale redhead called Denise. Miss Piggy doesn’t seem to have a longtime replacement for her exflame, but Australian star Liam Hemsworth recently shared a photo with her captioned: “Spent Friday with the most beautiful girl in the world.” Miss Piggy and Kermit had been an item for years, with the pushy porcine diva typically lording it over the more reserved amphibian – but the exact nature of their relationship status had been dubious before they split.

Seals head into Auckland for a visit Two seals have come ashore in Auckland yesterday morning, but both of the furry invaders arrived for very different purposes. One seal was spotted on Kohimarama Beach having a lazy day in the sand, while the other had ventured all the way to Middlemore Hospital. Locals said they spotted a leopard seal sunning itself on Kohimarama Beach early yesterday morning. Amanda Provan, 22, who works nearby, said a customer came in and told her about the seal. Ms Provan said a crowd was gathering all morning and it’s the first time she’s ever seen a seal on Kohimarama Beach. “I think it’s also quite unusual to see a leopard seal in Auckland.” The seal looked happy and healthy, she said. “It was getting some sun rays and just having a good sunbathe.”

Meanwhile, another seal was waiting outside Middlemore Hospital as the early morning shift was about to start.

Miley, Minaj spat continues Miley Cyrus is being taunted by passionate and angry Nicki Minaj fans on Instagram in response to the pop stars’ heated onstage exchange at the VMAs. “Miley what’s good?” asked Minaj during her acceptance speech at the awards, after saying: “Back to this bitch who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press.” Echoing their idol, Minaj’s fans have bombarded the Wrecking Ball star with the question, saturating her Instagram account, with #MileyWhatsGood also trending on Twitter.

It’s the latest development in the squabble that transpired after Cyrus criticised the Anaconda singer in a recent New York Times interview. But there are plenty of Cyrus fans jumping to the VMA host’s defence. “To the people on Nicki’s side commenting “Miley, what’s good” on here, grow some brains!” says _patrontekyla.

“You’re all just as immature as Nicki.”

■ TINWALD TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Funds bid ‘frustrating’

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton is lined up against Auckland when it comes to securing money to install traffic lights on State Highway One in Tinwald.

And that line up is seeing Ashburton’s case pushed slowly down the list, Ashburton District councillor Darryl Nelson said at yesterday’s council service delivery committee meeting.

This week councillors met with the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) as part of a series of on-going meetings over traffic issues in Tinwald.

Those meetings, however, have become an exercise in frustra-

tion for Ashburton, Mr Nelson said.

“We have to remember there’s no money for this. Our project competes for funding with every other project that’s around New Zealand. It’s not just a matter of putting it in and saying they’ll do it,” he said.

One concession was gained at this week’s meeting, however, with NZTA staff committing to draw up plans for three traffic solutions at three intersections – Wilkins, Street, Manchester Street and Lagmhor Road.

While there was no commitment to have any of the work signed off, with the plans in hand, they’d be able to look at

costings, Mr Nelson said.

With lights set to be installed at the intersection of South Street and State Highway One when a new supermarket is built at that corner, there are likely to be some wins for traffic flows through Tinwald.

“The benefits are it will break up traffic, create gaps and that will have to help areas like Carters Terrace,” Mr Nelson said.

Ashburton’s second traffic signal project, Walnut Avenue with the State Highway one and East Street is still in the planning stages, council roading manager Brian Fauth said.

Land purchase by NZTA to allow construction has been ap-

proved by the council and design work is underway.

The project had not been built into NZTA’s 2015 – 2018 three year plan because it fell below the funding threshold. It has been tagged for construction between 2018 and 2021.

The council had made it clear it wanted work to start this year but the lack of funding put paid to that, he said.

The Walnut Avenue lights project has been on the drawing board since 2006, but was suspended by NZTA. It was picked up again in 2012 as a state highway project but is also in a fight for funds with hundreds of projects nationwide.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Prefab classrooms . . . but at what cost?

From P1 Ministry of Education head of the education infrastructure service Kim Shannon said the prefab buildings would allow the ministry to quickly respond to schools’ needs for extra space.

Modular buildings can be assembled on site within about 6 months, compared to between 12 to 18 months for building fully on site.

However if a school’s roll decreases, the classroom may be relocated.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said he was concerned all schools would look the same.

“We prefer to keep a Hampstead flavour,” he said.

Two buildings are currently in the pipeline at the school and Mr Melrose said the board of trustees wanted to build “for the future rather than just for tomorrow”.

Because the board wanted the buildings to have features such as breakout spaces and more accessible toilets, which made building costs “quite a bit higher”, it would be making a “significant contribution” towards

Prefab classrooms, like the ones above, will be the first option for Mid Canterbury schools looking to build new teaching spaces.

the project, he said.

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy hoped the buildings would be “sensitive” to the school’s physical environment.

“I can see the advantages, but

there are definitely disadvantages,” he said.

In an ideal situation, schools would have autonomy over their building projects, he said.

Ms Shannon said the modular buildings are available in a

range of sizes and can be joined together in a variety of ways, including two storey options.

“We will support schools in making decisions about which types of buildings best suit their students’ needs,” she said.

Neighbours tried in vain to save fire victims

By Jimmy ellingham Neighbours trying in vain to enter a Palmerston North house that turned into a deadly inferno were pushed back by thick black smoke.

A two-storey Housing NZ home went up in flames just before 3am yesterday, killing a 6-year-old girl and her grandmother in her 60s.

Eleven people lived in the seven-bedroom Exeter Crescent house. There were nine children, aged 6 to 22, their mother in her 40s, and the nan.

The nine survivors required hospital attention for smoke inhalation and minor injuries.

A 21-year-old man remains in Palmerston North Hospital in a stable condition last night.

Anita Wharepouri lives next

door and she and her son Richard, 21, were woken by an explosion.

“I just heard this big bang,” Mrs Wharepouri said.

“Then bright flames and I just ran. Richard went and grabbed the phone and rang all the services and I ran over to the house.”

She tried to get in the house but the smoke was too thick.

“I got as far as the front door and the stairway and it was just all covered in smoke. It was just thick black smoke,” she said.

“All we could hear was the screaming from the girl upstairs.”

A cordon blocking off the street in front of the property was removed about 5pm yesterday, shortly after the two bodies were removed. - NZME

Childcare subsidy numbers declining

By Simon CollinS The number of working parents receiving childcare subsidies has dropped by 4300 in the past five years, despite more parents going back to work.

The decline appears to be mainly due to a Government decision during the global financial crisis to cut the income limits for the subsidy from September 2010, and to freeze them since then at $1400 a week for parents with one child in childcare, $1600 with two children and $1800 with three or more children.

Early Childhood Council chief executive Peter Reynolds said it also reflected Work and Income offices failing to publicise the subsidy.

“The numbers have always been completely low compared with the segment of the population you would think are eligible to receive it,” he said.

He said some early childhood centres gave parents application forms for the subsidy, but others didn’t.

“Some Work and Income offices frown on it because the handing over of an application form, some Work and Income staff believe that should be part of a conversation between a case manager and a parent,” he said.

Statistics provided by Social Development Minister Anne Tolley in response to a written question from Labour MP Carmel Sepuloni show that numbers receiving the subsidy peaked in June 2010 at 52,576, or 28 per cent of all early childhood education (ECE) enrolments in that year.

Numbers have dropped in every year since then to 46,361, or 23 per cent of enrolments, in June this year.

Subsidies going to beneficiary families have dropped by 13 per cent from 14,841 to 12,926, reflecting declining numbers on benefits as the job market has recovered from the financial crisis.

But Ms Sepuloni said it was unexpected that subsidies going to working families had also dropped, by 11 per cent from 37,735 to 33,435, despite the growing numbers of working parents.

“If more people are going to work, we should see some kind of increase in the number of people not on benefits receiving childcare subsidies,” she said.

■ CANTERBURY QUAKES FIVE YEARS ON

Forever etched in memories

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

September 4, 2010 is a day etched in the memories of all red-blooded Cantabrians, whether they were at home or abroad.

At 4.35am the province rocked under the pressure of a magnitude 7.1 earthquake.

Power outages were widespread and it was daylight before many Mid Cantabrians could survey the damage and count their blessings.

The epicentre of the quake was 40 kilometres west of Christchurch, near the town of Darfield, and lasted about 40 seconds. While the shake was felt widely throughout the South Island and as far north as New Plymouth, Mid Canterbury was spared the brunt of the damage.

Historic buildings across the district did however take a battering and many businesses were shut while the damage was accessed. Some never reopened.

The Triangle Garage, Millies nightclub in Tancred Street along with a number of buildings in Burnett and Cass streets were immediate casualties.

Methven and Rakaia also wore the brunt of the quakes.

Early on Steelworx, Thai Chilli, PC House and Bar and Café 131 were on the demolition list in Methven.

In the days that followed homeowners also assessed the damage – while few residential properties were demolished,

Rings returned Burglars have come unstuck after trying to sell stolen wedding rings back to the store their victims bought them from originally.

Louisa Neilson and her fiance had their Wanganui home broken into in August and about $15,000 worth of possessions stolen. Among the items taken were the wedding rings bought from Michael Hill Jeweller in Victoria Avenue in February after they got engaged last year. Also stolen in the daylight raid were other items of jewellery, a laptop, PS4 and a leather jacket, but Ms Neilson said it was the wedding rings that had the most sentimental value.

Williamson apologises

Many brick chimneys toppled on September 4, 2010.

brick chimneys toppled, mason walls crumbled and most homes sustained superficial damage.

While Mid Canterbury escaped relatively lightly it was a different story on the other side of the Rakaia River and emergency services, farm workers and tradespeople were quick to offer assistance.

EA Networks dispatched linesmen to assist in severely damaged Kaiapoi, 15 members of the Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust, including plumbers, headed to the Selwyn district to help repair both community and stock water supplies.

Volunteers from the Rakaia fire brigade assisted in freeing

30 cows trapped in a Te Pirita dairy shed after the quake ripped the rotary platform from its moorings. It took two hours to cut the animals free using the jaws-of-life.

Farmers in the midst of calving and lambing were grateful for the assistance.

Ashburton emergency management officer Don Geddes and a team of council staff headed to Darfield to assist.

All were astounded by the extent of the damage.

The words ‘aftershock’ and ‘liquefaction’ became common vernacular as the earth under our feet continued to shake rumble in the months that followed, culminating in the devastating February 22 quake

in which 181 people lost their lives in Christchurch.

Five years later the face of Ashburton’s CBD still bears testimony to the destructive force of nature, with new buildings springing where others have been demolished and empty lots awaiting development.

Other business premises still stand, red stickered and forlorn reminders of once thriving enterprises. It is estimated up to 70 per cent pre-quake buildings will eventually come down, making way for a new future.

We can only guess at what the town centre might look like when we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the September 4 quake.

Issie born during September earthquake A cohort of post-quake children will be preparing to start school today, five years after the first of a series of destructive earthquakes rattled Canterbury.

It would be fair to say the earth moved as Issie James, who turned five today, entered the world.

At 4.35am on September 4, her mother Toni James was less than an hour away from giving birth in the Ashburton maternity ward when the magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck, its epicentre just south of Christchurch.

It’s a moment she recalls clearly.

“I will never forget that. I was in the tub – I was having a water birth, and the water started sloshing around,” she said.

“I was so close to having her.

I remember the midwife and my husband asking each other ‘is that an earthquake?’ I was

like, I just don’t care if it is or not!

“The hospital shook and I was sloshing back and forward and from side to side.”

Loose items in the unit were secured or moved and just 59 minutes later Isabeau Marie James was born, weighing in at eight pounds four ounces.

While the situation in Ashburton was hectic, both Mrs James and her husband Blair were relieved they were not in Christchurch Women’s Hospital – where a record 21 babies were born in the 24 hours following the quake.

Issie is well aware of the unusual circumstances surrounding her arrival, often telling people she was born in an earthquake.

Yesterday Issie graduated from Methven’s Leap Ahead Early Childhood Centre and will begin a new chapter in her life as a pupil at Methven Primary School.

Pakuranga MP Maurice Williamson, who was once lauded for his “big gay rainbow” speech in support of same-sex marriage, has now come under fire from gay and women’s advocates for a speech considered homophobic and sexist. Guests of the Esri Users Conference gala dinner at SkyCity last Tuesday have revealed that Mr Williamson’s comments during his MC spot had people “removing themselves from the room”. Attendees complained that Mr Williamson made “sexist” jokes and comments about scantily clad women, and played an audio clip that disparaged women and gay men. After keeping quiet on the issue, Mr Williamson this afternoon put out a media statement in which he apologised for the offence he had caused.

Jury retires The jury on the Luke Tipene murder trial has retired for the night and will begin deliberations again today. Vincent Angene Skeen, 17, has been on trial for the past two weeks in the High Court at Auckland and yesterday morning Justice Mark Woolford summarised the case. In the early hours of November 1, the defendant stabbed Mr Tipene in the neck with a broken bottle, after a Grey Lynn party saw dozens of teenagers spill onto the street. A “glass dagger” pierced the victim’s jugular vein and he died in hospital soon after. Justice Woolford said that would focus the jury’s attention on one critical issue – intent.

Fern re-draw offer

The designer who came up with the All Blacks’ silver fern has offered to re-draw the iconic symbol seen on three of the four designs short-listed as options for our new national flag. Dave Clark says the silver fern designs on the Kyle Lockwood flags needed to “look more like real silver ferns”.

The offer came after it was revealed yesterday that the All Blacks had blocked the use of the silver fern which featured on the team’s uniforms. The design, which Mr Clark devised in 1986, is trademarked by the NZ Rugby Football Union. It led to the Flag Consideration Project approaching those who had used the NZRFU fern to ask if they would change their design. The NZRFU stance came in spite of All Black captain Richie McCaw saying he was keen to see the silver fern on a new national flag.

Quake build law changes ‘logical’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Changes to the government’s earthquake building laws are a vote for both common sense and public safety says Ashburton District Council building services manager Michael Wong.

On Wednesday, a new category of priority buildings was added to the Building Act that until now gave a minimum of five years for buildings in high risk areas to be assessed and 15 years for them to be upgraded.

When the amended act went out for submissions, the council was one of a number of local authorities who submitted that the timeframe for assessment and repair was too long.

The decision to introduce a new category of priority buildings, covering parts of an unreinforced masonry building such as parapets, facades or veranda that could fall onto a public road, footpath or thoroughfare was a good outcome, Mr Wong said.

The new category put owners of the most at risk buildings on notice that they would need to undertake assessments and repairs within a short timeframe, he said.

Buildings that fall into the new category

will now have to be assessed for risk within two and a half years and fixed or demolished within seven and a half years. This halves the time originally set for high risk areas. The timeframe for medium risk areas has also been halved to five years for assessments and 12 and a half years for strengthening.

The impact in Ashburton, however, would not be great, Mr Wong said as the council had been working with building owners for several years to have their buildings assessed and repairs undertaken.

To date 340 buildings have been assessed.

“There are still 30 that need to give us their reports and they’ll be under pressure when the new law comes into effect, but a number of ours are already strengthened.”

When the amendment becomes law, Mr Wong said it will replace the council’s own earthquake prone buildings by law.

It will also mean the council needs to revisit all of the decisions it had previously made on the district’s buildings to ensure the new time frames dovetailed with the ones council had previously given, he said.

“This is a good decision, it ticks it off for the council.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Sightseers upset farmers

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Heavy snowfalls in the Mid Canterbury back country might signal play time for some people but for high country farmers snow means problems.

And those problems are exacerbated when sightseers head for the hills, a group of farmers told the Ashburton District Council.

During a heavy snowfall in June farmers living in the Ashburton Gorge found themselves battling hordes of sightseers while they were strug-

gling to take feed to stranded stock. Tracks they had cleared to provide access to paddocks were at times blocked by stationary vehicles.

And that experience prompted three runholders who live along the Ashburton Gorge Road to contact the council asking that in a similar event the council closes the road.

The farmers said they were left to deal with stranded vehicles, vehicles blocking access ways and vehicles travelling at speeds unsuitable for the conditions. All of those made it difficult to carry out the urgent

task of taking feed to stranded stock, they said.

Councillors looked for solutions at yesterday’s service delivery committee meeting, with councillor Alan Totty saying the effects of the June snowfall were worse because they occurred at a weekend when famers felt they were unable to contact the council.

“We’ve got a communications system set up now and that can be used for any number of roads. The Ashburton Gorge is a special case though because it becomes a bit of a playground for people when

the snow comes,” he said.

Councillors confirmed they had the ability to close roads if needed under section 11 (d) of schedule 10 of the Local Government Act, 1974.

They decided that a closure could be put in place for the first 48 hours of a weather event and would be lifted when passing bays and parking areas were created.

The same closure procedures needed to be available to the council for other roads in the district during other weather events too, councillor Darryl Nelson said.

Tournament casualties Two teenage girls were hospitalised in separate sporting incidents on Wednesday. One girl was transported to Ashburton Hospital with moderate injuries after a hockey accident at the Ashburton Hockey Grounds on Wednesday morning, according to a St John spokesman. The other was transported to hospital with moderate injuries following a football accident at the Ashburton Domain on Wednesday afternoon.

Correction The Mid Canterbury branch of the Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association’s (BCSB) open baling day will be held on Sunday, September 20 at 155 Burnham School Road, Burnham, 10am-4pm.

Nauru aid suspended The Nauru Government has hit back at the New Zealand Government on Twitter over the decision to suspend its annual $2.1 million in justice funding.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully said yesterday that New Zealand aid funding for Nauru’s justice system was on hold until the Nauru Government addressed concerns around civil rights abuses and the rule of law. The decision to suspend the funding followed the expulsion of judges and the suspension of some Opposition MPs and arrests for attending a protest. Mr McCully said Nauru had failed to meet the commitment it gave to restore proper rule of law.

Long drive to report outage A West Coast man had to drive 80km yesterday to make a phone call after an ongoing phone problem worsened, leaving people in parts of South Westland with intermittent phone coverage.

Paul Wilson of Hunts Beach had to drive to Fox Glacier, where there is cellphone coverage, to report the fault to Spark.

The whole area from Fox Glacier to Paringa appeared to be affected.

Mr Wilson said problems started a month ago, when phone calls would drop out every now and then. After a while the dial tone would come back but the call was lost.

“The last three days it’s been diabolical,” he said, with calls dropping after just 30 seconds.

“This morning I was unable to dial out at all.”

So he has been going through to Fox, an 80km round trip, just to make phone calls.

Using a cellphone, he tried to call Spark again yesterday morning but the one hour delay at the call centre made it impossible.

“I don’t want to sit at Fox for an hour,” he said. Mr Wilson said the fault meant old people, and mums with young children, had no way to contact emergency services.

The lack of information was frustrating and the call centre staff were not able to advise when it would be fixed. With a bit of information, people would be more tolerant, he said.

Spark spokeswoman Vicky Gray said its network team was not “tracking” any particular problem in the area.

Chorus was looking into the complaints.

■ CLOSED FOR GOOD DAY

Bank closes for community good Ashburton BNZ staff traded their office wear for gumboots as they got stuck in during the bank’s annual Closed for Good day.

The event sees BNZ branches across the country close their doors for the day to allow staff to take part in a variety of charitable endeavours that benefit the community.

In Ashburton, those good

deeds covered everything from sorting jewellery for the CanInspire Charitable Trust to potting plants for the Ashburton Community Conservation Trust.

BNZ chief executive Anthony Healy said he was delighted to see the range and variety of projects coming through.

“This year we challenged our community groups to think

more broadly about how we can help them,” he said.

“Closed for Good will always be about a good old fashioned working bee, but we’re delighted that we’re increasingly helping with things like marketing plans, and scam savvy or budgeting workshops.”

The initiative is New Zealand’s biggest day of corporate volunteering.

Police identify body in Waikato river Police have identified a body found in the Waikato River yesterday but will not release the name of the 38-year-old man until their family are all informed.

Forensic evidence played a significant part in helping to identify the body recovered from the river near Com-

ries Avenue. Detective Paul Van der Zee of the Hamilton CIB said police were called to the eastern river bank about 7.30am.

“A member of the public reported seeing what appeared to be a body in the river and the police rescue boat was launched to help conduct a re-

covery operation,” he said.

“Following on from the successful recovery of the body a number of forensic examinations have been carried out which have enabled us to identify the person as being a 38-year-old Hamilton man reported missing from his home on August 20.”

Hundreds of New Zealanders have pledged to help with the international refugee crisis, with many offering up their homes.

Wanting to personally help in any way he could, Taranaki resident Urs Signer started a Facebook event on Wednesday night called “Open homes - open borders - we will host a refugee - Aotearoa”. So far the event has more than 600 people listed as “Going” - with many posting messages pledging to host a refugee at their home.

Mr Signer said the event had received an “amazing outpour of solidarity and love”.

Spate of robberies A spate of armed robberies hit Wellington on Wednesday night with a dairy owner, pizza driver and bar employees being held up at gunpoint. The first incident occurred in Porirua about 7.45pm, with the offender pointing a gun at a dairy owner and stealing a till containing cash. At 11.30pm, a Dominos Pizza delivery driver was approached by a man holding a gun with a scarf over his face.

Cash was stolen and the offender - described as 170cm, slim and wearing a black top - escaped on foot. Just an hour later, two men wearing ski masks and carrying a firearm entered the Clock Work Gold Bar in Tawa and stole a vehicle owned by one of the staff.

The vehicle was later located by police. Police believe the events were linked due to items in the vehicle. “In these incidents no person has been physically injured but it can be traumatic for the victims,” police said.

Flu vaccinations still available

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

While the flu appears to have peaked, atrisk Mid Cantabrians can still get their vaccinations for another two weeks.

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman has announced New Zealand’s free vaccine programme has been extended until Friday, September 11.

“With influenza at relatively high levels in our communities, it’s still worth getting vaccinated,” he said.

“Whilst the latest data shows a drop in influenza cases, we could still see cases increase again.”

The latest influenza update from Environmental Science Research (ESR) centre shows a total of 142 cases of the A-strain and 763 of the B-strain recorded in the Canterbury District Health Board area this flu season.

Early last month Canterbury had one of the highest rates for influenza-like consultations in the South Island, with GPs seeing between 150 and 399 cases per 100,000 population per week.

That has since dropped and ESR’s lat-

est weekly flu report shows Canterbury is now seeing normal seasonal activity with approximately 116 patients per 100,000 seen last week.

A spokesman for the CDHB said based on previous years, this wave of influenza will likely continue to descend over the next four weeks.

Nationally there were 415 consultations for influenza-related illnesses this week, compared to 487 last week.

Dr Coleman said higher influenza numbers are typically seen every two to three years.

Already this year more than 1.2 million doses of the influenza vaccine have been distributed around the country. The vaccine is free for people aged over 65, pregnant women, people with long term health conditions such as severe asthma and children under five years old who have been hospitalised for a respiratory illness.

People with Down Syndrome or who have cochlear implants are also eligible.

For people not eligible the vaccine is available for purchase from general practices and select pharmacies.

OIO approves Countdown South Street land purchase

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton is one step closer to having a third large supermarket.

The Overseas Investment Office (OIO) has approved an application from General Distributors Ltd for the purchase of land for a new Countdown.

If completed, the consideration for the sale would be $2.9 million, the OIO website confirmed.

The vendor is listed as River Crossing Limited.

The new $20 million supermarket is tipped to be Ashburton’s biggest, and could create 120 new jobs when it is built.

General Distributors Ltd, which owns the Countdown supermarket chain, required permission from the OIO as it is majority-owned overseas.

Countdown spokesperson James Walker said the company was continuing to make progress with plans for the new supermarket, and it has recently gone out to tender for the development of the site.

The project has been issued resource

consent, he said.

Questions regarding parking and roading issues around the site went unanswered yesterday.

“As we are still in the early days of this development, we are unable to give any further detail,” Mr Walker said.

“More details will be announced when plans for the site are confirmed.”

There are no plans to change the existing Countdown in Ashburton, he said.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said new shopping developments were always “great news” for the people of Ashburton.

“It’s always great to have new shopping centres,” he said.

“And there must be a need for it otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it.”

While Foodstuffs South Island property development general manager Roger Davidson told the Guardian last year that the company had plans for the West Street site it bought in 2013, a spokesperson said yesterday there had been no further developments to those plans.

■ AUCKLAND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Govt, iwi reach agreement on land

BY FIONA ROTHERHAM The government has reached agreement with Ngati Whatua and other Auckland iwi over developing 500 hectares of excess land in Auckland for private housing which had been under High Court challenge.

Under the deal announced by Building and Housing Minister Nick Smith yesterday, the government has agreed to uphold the Nga Mana Whenua iwi and hapu’s right to be given opportunity to develop any of the Crown land subject to a right of first refusal before offering it to private sector developers.

In return, Ngati Whatua has withdrawn the legal proceedings it had filed in the High Court to fast track the resolution of its difference of opinion with the Crown over the extent of that right of first refusal.

The Tamaki Collective Deed of Settlement, signed in 2012 between the Crown and

Nga Mana Whenua o Tamaki Makaurau, which is a collective of 13 iwi and hapu, included a protocol stipulating that where the government intends to develop land subject to a right of first refusal for state housing purposes, it must first provide the iwi and hapu with first opportunity to be the developer.

That right of first refusal came into effect last year.

Smith said the new agreement reinforces this protocol

“The agreement includes a shared commitment for 20 percent of new houses delivered through the Auckland housing programme to be made available for purchase by community housing providers, and for a further 20 percent priced as affordable for first home buyers,” Smith said.

The amount set as attainable for first home buyers is said to likely be no more than the KiwiSaver HomeStart cap which

as well as setting out further ways for the government and iwi to work together on common objectives in housing. The major difference under the new agreement to the normal right of first refusal process for surplus Crown land is that the land is specifically set aside for housing rather than land-banked or used to other purposes, and the government can set the development pace and type of housing required.

is currently $550,000.

The government has assessed potential sites, focusing first on parcels of land that can fit 60 homes or more. The next step is to issue an invitation to partner on the developments, which would allow iwi partners to take up the opportunity either on their own or in partnership with other developers.

Smith said he was hopeful of having the first development agreements in place this year and the first homes completed by the end of next year. The land is likely to remain in government ownership until sold on as completed houses.

Waikato-Tainui also has right of first refusal over some pockets of land in Auckland as part of its 1998 Treaty settlement.

If these areas are to be used for private housing, the iwi will be notified and their first right of refusal respected, the government said.

August performances poor M arkets ended down for August, and for many it was the worst monthly performance since the Global Financial Crisis.

Plenty of markets have made a not so healthy start for September as well, as the Chinese economy continued to display signs of weakness.

China’s slowdown is having a profound effect on our nearest neighbour, Australia, with the Australian dollar falling below 70 US cents for the first time in six years.

Some strong data and positive sentiment from the US saw the US dollar index appreciate while back home investors reflected on the just completed reporting season and processed another increase in global dairy prices.

Major markets finished August well into the red with the NZX50 down 4.5 per ecnt, the ASX200 down 8.6 per cent, the S&P500 down 6.3 per cent and the FTSE100 in the UK down 6.7 per cent. China’s main Shanghai Composite Index fell an incredible 12.5 per cent during August and is now 38 per cent below its June peak. Investors remain cautious of China and the continually weakening outlook from the world’s second largest economy.

One casualty of the slowdown in China is the Australian dollar which slid below US$0.70 during the week for the first time in six years. Since

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

the beginning of the year the Aussie dollar has fallen 14 per cent against the greenback and some of the more bearish analysts are predicting further downside. Adding to weakness was the lacklustre GDP growth figure released this week which missed expectations. The Reserve Bank of Australia held rates at the record low rate of 2.0 per cent this week, stating that the weakening currency will support the rebalancing of the economy and stimulate growth.

The US Federal Reserve’s Beige Book was announced this week, providing anecdotal summaries from each of the District Federal Reserve Banks on current economic conditions. The Beige Book was upbeat and showed that activity in the economy is continuing to expand across most districts.

The labour market appears to be continuing its tightening cycle as unemployment falls and companies report that they are feeling pressure to raise wages, although this is still to be conveyed in actual wage growth.

Reporting season for Australia and New Zealand has largely

come to an end now with just a few stragglers left to report.

The New Zealand market had a reasonably positive reporting season with 53 per cent of companies having earnings upgrades for FY16 expectations from analysts.

Australia’s reporting season was nowhere near as positive with just 29 per cent of companies having guidance upgraded for FY16 earnings. The net of this was that overall earnings estimates fell 2.9 per cent, as outlook statements for the year ahead were poor.

The latest Global Dairy Trade Auction saw prices rise 10.9 per cent, the second consecutive increase. Fonterra again restricted volumes on offer at the auction, although there was a larger amount of product on offer than the last auction.

Most product groups posted gains and whole milk powder, a key determinant for Fonterra’s forecast farmgate milk price, rose 12.1 per cent.

The average price for whole milk powder, although making good gains, is still well off the price needed to deliver on the current forecast payout of $3.85.

to escape Islamic State extremists.

The toddler was one of at least 12 Syrian migrants who died, five of whom were children, including his five-year-old brother Galip.

“The boat sank around 4:00 am (0100 GMT), close to the lighthouse in the Akyarlar region,” a rescue worker said, suggesting the boats had capsized.

“Most probably they were panicked and many didn’t know how to swim.”

Yesterday, the UN Security Council discussed a draft resolution that diplomats said may allow an EU naval force to seize ships operated by migrant smugglers in international waters.

More than 350,000 people have made the perilous journey from North Africa to Europe this year, many trafficked by people smugglers from war-torn Libya.

France, Italy and Germany, meanwhile, have urged a rethink of European asylum rules to ensure “a fair distribution” of migrants throughout the 28-member bloc, as tensions soared over how to tackle the huge influx.

The escalating crisis has exposed deep divisions in the EU’s policy, sparking friction between transit nations where the migrants arrive by sea or land, and those where they hope to seek asylum, mainly in northern and western Europe.

In Hungary, which has been on the frontline of the huge wave of new arrivals, scuffles broke out between police and swelling crowds of migrants, who had been prevented from boarding trains at Budapest’s main station.

Heart-rending pictures of a toddler’s lifeless body washed ashore on a Turkish beach have sparked horror, as the cost of Europe’s growing refugee crisis hit home.

The images of a tiny child lying in the surf at one of Turkey’s main tourist resorts has put a human face on the dangers experienced by thousands of desperate people seeking a new life in Europe.

Wearing a red T-shirt and blue shorts, the child - identified as three-year-old Aylan Kurdi - is believed to be one of at least 12 Syrians who died when their boats sank trying to reach Greece.

The bleak image spread like lightning through social media and dominated front pages from Spain to Sweden.

Circulating with the Turkish hashtag “#KiyiyaVuranInsanlik” (“Humanity washed ashore”), the picture made it to Twitter’s top world trending topics.

“Tiny victim of a human catastrophe,” said Britain’s Daily Mail, while Italy’s La Repubblica tweeted the words: “One photo to silence the world.”

“If these extraordinarily powerful images of a dead Syrian child washed up on a beach don’t change Europe’s attitude to refugees, what will?” Britain’s Independent said, in remarks echoed in newspapers across the continent.

Aylan was believed to be travelling with his family on a tiny boat that was built for four people but carrying 15 refugees, from the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane, who fled to Turkey last year

OUR VIEW

The right decision?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

B

ritain’s Independent newspaper yesterday published a photograph that might change the way some European countries – and perhaps even our own – confront the unfolding refugee crisis.

The photo was of a threeyear-old Syrian-Kurdish refugee lying on a beach in Turkey. The toddler lay like a child’s doll, his cheek resting on the wet sand as the tide gently lapped at his limp, lifeless body.

The photo is confronting and leaves no doubt as to the mounting human cost of the refugee crisis. By yesterday afternoon, it was the single-most powerful image in the drive to urge governments to action.

The photograph was republished on national news websites in New Zealand and it was referred to by politicians as they lambasted the prime minister for not increasing the country’s refugee quota.

Today’s cartoon refers to this and to a photograph taken as the boy’s body was removed from the beach.

The photo was an important part of the news but the remarkable, undoubtedly significant image has not been republished in your local, fiercely provincial newspaper.

The Ashburton Guardian is delivered to thousands of Mid Cantabrians and of those thousands, many will not want to be confronted over breakfast by the image of a dead child.

Adults have the life experience to deal with – and complain about – a photograph of a dead body, but the many hundreds of children who read the Guardian, at home and at school, might not.

Some New Zealand websites published the photograph, but they did so with clear warnings and readers had to scroll to find the photo. This is not possible in a full-view, lingering newspaper.

It might be that the photograph is republished today in other newspapers, suggesting my decision not to publish such a powerful and emblematic photograph was naïve and wrong.

But then it might be that the focus on one, possibly gamechanging, photograph risks losing a crisis in a cause for complaint.

Whether I was right or wrong, let me know: stu.o@ theguardian.co.nz

YOUR VIEW Hinds fire station [Ashburton District Council community relations manager] Vincie [Billante’s] comments in the Guardian (Blue gum sparks major divisions, September 3) are a classic example of the blatant ignorance I alluded to in the article.

May I remind her that the hand that feeds us is supplied by the ratepayers and that every volunteer rural fire force in this county provides a service on behalf of the Ashburton District Council at no cost to them for the labour force. I personally have been providing part of that service in the Hinds area for more than 35 years.

Hinds Volunteer Rural Fire Force chief Dave Kingsbury

CRUMB

Yesterday’s article discussed the council’s position on the brigade’s desire to remove a tree from reserve land, to accommodate a new fire station.

Ms Billante said the land for the station had been gifted by the Hinds Reserve Board, that the council was funding the building and that “domains and public places are there for flora and fauna first and foremost, so if you are getting a building and land for free you don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.

Refugees New Zealand’s refugee programme should be extended to take more refugees from Syria and the Middle East.

It is a neutral leader on the

by David Fletcher

Security Council and it should walk the talk that got it elected there.

Taking just a few hundred more people might be a drop in the ocean compared to what is happening in Europe, but the ripples would be significant for the standing of the country and for its humanitarian reputation.

H. Lowe ***** Look at Lebanon – it’s about the same size as New Zealand and it has accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees. All we can do is sit back and remember when we used to be a country that helped.

Our seat on the United Nations Security Council doesn’t mean much if we ignore the

fact we are part of the world that should be responding to this crisis.

T. J. Smith ***** I was chilled to the bone today to see, on a British newspaper’s website, a photograph of a toddler – a refugee from Syria – lying dead on a beach.

He was the result of a horrible crisis that Isis has forced on Syria and has spread to Europe.

New Zealanders who do not want us to increase our refugee quota need to see this photograph.

It shows what is happening to real people as the world looks on.

New study reveals health benefits in beer

M

mmm beer.

I like beer. I like it a lot! I pretty much like all beer too.

I prefer European lagers and wheat beers, but am just as happy to consume a Brown Bomber (Lion Brown) as well.

I have never been one to have a beer by myself though. But I have more than made up for that with classic Kiwi binge drinking.

Before the PC brigade hop (see what I did there?) on their high horses, I am not suggesting that binge drinking is a good thing at all.

I am doing it less and less as I get older. I’d like to say that’s because I’m maturing, but it’s just because it knocks me around so much the next day (and day after to be honest).

There is little that compares to the hopsy, rich and refreshing taste of a cold beer.

The world’s third most popular beverage has been around for centuries, but has gotten a bad rep as being fattening and high in calories and, as a result, is increasingly avoided at the bar.

BUT I have found a new study that reveals some surprising health benefits in beer that could make it once again your beverage of choice, in moderation of course.

So, pour yourself a cold beer and sip on it while you read

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

my take on its amazing health benefits: ■ Reduces the risk of heart disease: Alcohol in all of its forms – be it beer, wine or liquor – is known to help reduce the risk of heart disease. Studies show that a moderate consumption of alcohol thins the blood, making it less likely to clot.

Alcohol also increases the amount of good cholesterol in the blood and lowers blood pressure. We’ve all heard the saying about thin blood and being cold, so beer on a hot day must be a winner!

■ Good for kidney health: Although too much alcohol is noted to be bad for the kidneys, beer has been shown to be an effective reducer of kidney stones.

Kidney stones result when there is too much calcium in your system and the hops in beer has been shown to slow the release of calcium from the bones.

Also, beer has a high water content that helps clear out

the kidneys and keeps them stone free! Obviously the key message here is, ditch the milk and use beer instead. Lager latte has a nice ring to it I reckon.

■ Believe it or not, it’s nutritious: Beer is packed with tons of nutrients. One 12-ounce beer has about one gram of fibre and it is full of B vitamins like B6, B12, niacin and riboflavin.

It is rich is silicone, a nutrient noted for helping to strengthen bones. It’s also rich in silicone, great news for any ladies considering false boobs!

■ Reduces the risk of diabetes: In a 2011 Harvard University study on 38,000 middle-aged men, it was shown that when they drank two beers a day, their risk for type II diabetes dropped by 25 per cent!

However, this percentage applies for two beers a day and no more than that. I’ll bank my two beers a day thanks!

■ Could reduce the risk of cancer: Along with all of the vitamins mentioned above, beer also contains lots of good antioxidants that can cleanse your system of toxins. In addition, a Portuguese study found that marinating meat in beer can eliminate almost

Subscribe at www.guardianonline.co.nz

70 per cent of the carcinogens. Even if you’re not drinking beer, it’s great to cook with! Steak and beer, this just keeps getting better!

■ Improves brain health: New research has shown that a few beers a day may be able to ward off Alzheimer’s disease and lower your risk of stroke. This is also due to the blood-thinning nature of the alcohol in beer that prevents the occurrence of clotting. In a 2005 study, it was found in a test group of 11,000 older women that those who drank at least one beer a day had better mental function than those who didn’t, and that by drinking beer they decreased their risk of mental decline by 20 per cent.

Duh!! Everyone knows you get much smarter when you drink beer!

Now is that the best news you’ve read this week?

Ellis twins take pairs title

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton has two new national indoor bowls champions following Cameron and David Ellis’s triumph at the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ pair’s competition in Wellington on Monday.

The twins may have been representing Timaru Boys’ High School, where they board, but they are from Ashburton and play for Wakanui Indoor Bowls Club, which is enough for Mid Canterbury to stake a claim to the duo.

The 15-year-olds play up to five times a week, and the practice paid off as they booked a place in the final with a 14-5 win over Dunedin’s Logan Park High School pair Jonty Horwell and Sean Hall.

The Ellis boys then downed Nash Smith and Anthony Ouliet of Tauranga Boys’ College 6-5 in the final.

Cameron was also in fine form in the singles events to finish in the top eight in the New Zealand Junior Singles Championships last Saturday, and then repeat the performance in the Secondary Schools’ Singles on Sunday.

Cameron said he and David enjoy the competiveness of the sport and aim to represent New

Monty Betham is preparing to challenge for the New Zealand cruiserweight title, a fight which he hopes could help him emulate the deeds of his father, Monty senior.

Betham’s bout against James Langton at Auckland’s Sky City on November 3 will be the most significant of his professional career. The former Kiwis and Warriors league player has fought eight times as a professional (winning seven), but mostly with a “celebrity” tag attached to it. His biggest previous challenge in the ring was against Shane Cameron in 2011, a fight he lost on points.

Three-time Super Bowl winner Riki Ellison is reserving judgment on Jarryd Hayne until he feels the full force of the NFL’s best players.

Ex-NRL star Hayne is looking increasingly likely to secure a spot on the San Francisco 49ers 53man roster for the upcoming NFL season after some encouraging pre-season displays. But New Zealander Ellison, who won three championships in seven years with the 49ers in the 1980s, believes Hayne’s biggest challenges are still to come. “I’d be cautious a little bit,” Ellison said.

Zealand in the future, but were shocked to take out the national title.

“Our family plays and we like the competiveness and the people you meet while playing,” he said.

“We were a bit shocked but we were pretty stoked.

“We’d like to go right through and win some of the bigger competitions and one day hopefully make the New Zealand team.”

David said the close relationship between the brothers makes them a strong team.

“I think because we know

each other so well, it’s something that we work well at together,” he said.

Ashburton College’s Laura Mackenzie failed to qualify in both events, but was named in the southern zone team that was beaten by their northern opponents.

Lack of professionalism ‘unacceptable’ Warriors coach Andrew McFadden is extremely disappointed some of his players were out on the town two nights before last Sunday’s loss to Wests Tigers and labelled their drop in professionalism unacceptable.

McFadden believes three players - injured winger Manu Vatuvei, centre Konrad Hurrell and departing utility Dominique Peyroux - let the club down by attending an R&B concert in Auckland last Friday night, when Hurrell and Peyroux should have been preparing properly ahead of their early morning flight to Sydney.

“When I first heard about that I must admit I was extremely disappointed,” said McFadden.

“That sort of level of professionalism is unacceptable.

“We had an early flight the next day and one of the things

we preach in terms of our preparation is that we get enough sleep, hydration and make sure we eat properly.

“I don’t think that was acceptable. It’s certainly something that we’ve looked at internally and that’s how we’ll be dealing with it too.”

The situation was made worse by the players posting comments and video on social media, of them onstage during R&B artist Ginuwine’s live performance at Auckland live music venue The Studio.

McFadden felt the timing of the player’s social media activity was poor, with the Warriors struggling for results after seven straight defeats.

“It’s something we’re going to have to continually remind players [about],” he said.

“People are going to make mistakes in the future.

“They’ve made one this time and certainly the timing of all this is not ideal.

Coach Andrew McFadden

“It’s something that we’ll address with the players and that will be an ongoing thing.”

He rejected suggestions that the players involved could have been stood down from Sunday’s final round away clash with the Canterbury Bulldogs or fined, and despite his disappointment said their actions were not deserving of such punishment.

“I don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill either.

“On the seriousness scale it’s only minor but still, it’s unacceptable from our point of view.

“Hopefully it’s something the rest of the group can learn from, but in terms of standing people down or fining, I don’t think that’s the answer.”

Vatuvei, who is out for the rest of the year with a shoulder injury, had come in for further scrutiny after a tweet revealed he was not watching television coverage of the Warriors game, but at the cinema to watch the film War Room.

McFadden made the point that public perception and timing is everything at a time when the entire club is struggling.

“Timing’s everything, isn’t it? So [it’s] not a good look. I haven’t spoken to Manu about that yet so I’m sure I’ll sit down with him and make everyone aware of what’s appropriate.

“If we’re winning no one is making these comments, but we’ve got to accept that the situation we’re in, we haven’t earned the right to be this flippant.”

Nathan Brown has been charged with reviving the fortunes of the embattled Newcastle Knights after he was announced as the new coach of the NRL club yesterday.

Kenny-Dowall returns Shaun Kenny-Dowall is in line to return from almost two months on the sidelines in Sydney Roosters’ final round NRL clash with South Sydney tonight. Kenny-Dowall hasn’t played since round 18 amid domestic violence allegations levelled against him, to which he has pleaded not guilty. But coach Trent Robinson said yesterday the Kiwi international was likely to return for the clash with the Rabbitohs. “Getting Shaun back in before the finals if he is ready is important,” Robinson said. - AAP

Widdop in doubt St George Illawarra are sweating on the fitness of Gareth Widdop, after the star five-eighth reportedly sustained a potentially serious quad injury. Widdop suffered a corked thigh last Sunday during the Dragons’ shock 28-26 defeat to Gold Coast and is in serious doubt for the side’s finalround clash with Wests Tigers this Saturday. Unless they get thrashed by the Tigers and Manly do a similar job on Cronulla the Dragons will remain in eighth because of a superior for and against.

Williams doubtful starter

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will welcome King Country to the Ashburton Showgrounds in week three of the Heartland Championships tomorrow.

Grant Keenan’s side are at the points table’s summit following a 34-17 bonus point win over South Canterbury in week one and a last gasp 30-28 win over Lochore Cup holders Wanganui last Saturday.

The Hammers’ heroics at Cooks Gardens produced a rare win over the Butcher Boys, but the victory was marred by first five-eighth Murray Williams’ hamstring injury.

Williams posted 14 points with a try and three penalties before retiring early, and the 33-year-old remains a doubt for tomorrow.

Keenan said his side has prepared well, despite some players being “banged and bruised” after last weekend’s tie, but expects another physical encounter against King Country.

“Preparation was good on Tuesday, we had a shorter training in length but we achieved quite a lot in fitness and tackling,” he said.

“We didn’t play them last year, the last time we played them was in 2013.

“They’re a good physical side and can be quite unorthodox in some of their attacking tactics, but we’ll expect them to be very physical.

“Like us they’ve got some country boys in that forward pack so they’ll get in to us.”

Keenan said a strong start to the season was imperative, and is gunning for a third successive win tomorrow.

“For us, it’s about winning those first three games.

HEARTLAND Heartland Championship, match day three: Mid Canterbury v King Country, Ashburton Showgrounds, 2.30pm, Saturday.

The trial of six point tries in Welsh rugby has the backing of rugby greats Buck Shelford and Stu Wilson, but both former All Black captains say that even bigger overhauls are needed to improve the game. The Welsh Rugby Union has given the go ahead for trialling the new point system, which also includes reducing penalties and drop goals from three points to two. Their aim is to make the game more open and attacking. World Rugby is yet to offer its approval for the trial.

Bok ban bid fails An attempt to stop the Springboks travelling to the Rugby World Cup in Britain has failed. But the High Court judge who dismissed the application has agreed with the Agency for a New Agenda (ANA) party that the pace of change two decades after the abolition of apartheid was “grindingly slow”, the Guardian has reported. The ANA’s attempt to have the Springboks’ passports confiscated always appeared likely to fail, although Judge Ntendeya Mavundla said the party could try to have the hearing continued. He said that a majority of white players in the 31-man squad did not constitute an “inconsistency with the Constitution”.

“This competition’s a sprint but a staying race at the same time, so you need to get those points on the board early on.”

King Country kicked off their campaign with a 32-20 loss to Buller in Westport before downing Horowhenua Kapiti 34-28 in week two.

Assistant coach Gareth Williams said his side are confident but expect a tough test against Mid Canterbury.

“It’ll be a tough ask, they’re defending champions, but it’s

a challenge we’re looking forward to,” he said.

“It’ll be about us taking the game to them, and if we do we’ll be in with a chance.

“They’re the pacesetters, they play with a lot of structure and width, they have lots of threats across the park, but we’re confident, otherwise there would be no point in getting on the plane.”

Williams said there has been plenty of changes in personnel from the squad that reached the Lochore Cup semi-final last

season and opening day frailties have been worked on.

“There’s plenty of new faces, about 14 in the squad but seven or eight in the starting 15 that are finding their feet now,” he said.

“Against Buller, it was more us losing than them winning.

“We gave away far too many penalties and their first fiveeighth, Hagen Schulte, punished us, in the second game we eliminated those penalties and we’ll have to do that again.”

Cantabs turn up the heat on Turbos A pair of teams trending in different directions produced the most probable result in Palmerston North last night.

Canterbury remained unbeaten and moved to the top of the ITM Cup Premiership standings after thumping the winless Manawatu 57-7 in a meeting reflective of both sides’ seasons.

The visitors’ stunning opening salvo blew away the Turbos and meant saving face was their only realistic aim for the majority of the match.

Manawatu managed to achieve an element of that, even enjoying their own dominant stretches, but the damage

AB greats back change

had well and truly been done.

A fourth straight defeat to begin the campaign was all but assured when Canterbury brought up the bonus point in the opening quarter, confirming to Manawatu that winning promotion to the Premiership can be something of a mixed blessing.

In saying that, though, the tackling they displayed in the nascent stages would have seen them struggle even in the Championship.

Time and again the Turbos were guilty of missing the most basic of tackles, allowing Canterbury to run rampant

straight through the middle of their defence.

Scott Robertson’s side needed no second invitation, enjoying quick and clean ball to illustrate the counter-attacking ability that helped them win their first three games, running in a trio of tries in the opening eight minutes.

Manawatu were struggling to merely get their hands on the ball, and in the rare instances when they did find possession they were guilty of giving it straight back through elementary errors.

The home side were also unable to venture outside of their

own half with any regularity, and it took until the sixth time Canterbury crossed before they finally enjoyed a spell of possession inside the opposition 22, capitalising through a deserved try from Fraser Stone.

Perhaps there would have been more respectability to the scoreline had Semisi Masirewa’s runaway effort early in the second spell not been called back.

Instead, the red-and-black machine ran in another three tries to continue their march.

Pump up the volume The All Blacks’ traditional war dance, the Haka, will be given its full voice at Twickenham even if England reach the World Cup final. The Maori challenge was drowned out by the noise of the Twickenham crowd during the autumn internationals as stadium managers turned down the sound but World Rugby will refuse any requests for the Haka to be silenced. The on-field ritual is often criticised for giving the team a psychological advantage - with England skipper Chris Robshaw urging supporters to neutralise the performance with a deafening reception in November. Fiji, Tonga and Samoa will also face no restrictions on their versions of the Haka. - NZME

Tickets still available New Zealand fans keen to be part of the upcoming Rugby World Cup still have a chance to get their hands on the last remaining tickets to three of the All Blacks pool matches. With just under three weeks to go until the tournament kicks off across England and Cardiff, fans can still purchase tickets for the All Blacks pool matches against Namibia, Georgia and Tonga. Tickets are still available for 12 out of the 13 match venues at all price categories at tickets.rugbyworldcup.com. - NZME

In brief

■ TENNIS

Error-ridden Serena advances Top-ranked Serena Williams spent nearly an hour on the practice courts yesterday after struggling through the second round of the US Open, working on her skills after 10 double faults and 34 unforced errors.

Williams, trying to complete the first calendar grand slam since Steffi Graf in 1988 and match Graf ’s Open Era record of 22 career Slam singles crowns, was woeful at times in a 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 victory over 110th-ranked Dutch qualifier Kiki Bertens.

“I definitely feel more determined to do better than what I did,” Williams said.

“I know I can play better. It definitely wasn’t my happiest of moments.

“I don’t think you should be happy with just winning. At least I’m not. Maybe other people can.

“Always looking to do better.

If I don’t play well, I’m not going to be happy even if I won.”

No one won more this year than Williams, whose 50-2 record tops all women.

She has won the past four grand slam titles, completing a “Serena Slam” by winning Wimbledon in July, and at 33 is the oldest Grand Slam women’s singles champion.

But in the first set yesterday, Williams had to break Bertens in the 10th game, hold in the 11th after committing four double faults and then recover after falling behind 4-0 in the tie-breaker.

“Just trying to get those second serves in, I don’t know what was on my mind at that point,” Williams said.

“I was just trying to keep fighting and keep trying.”

She won seven of the last eight tie-break points to swipe

the first set after producing eight double faults and 26 unforced errors.

She broke three times to win the second set and take the match after 92 minutes, but it was a narrower escape than it should have been.

“I just got a little nervous,” she said.

“But I’ve been doing totally fine. I’ve been completely relaxed, chill.

“I’ve been really, really fine.

So I’m going to get back into the place that I was and I’ll be

fine again.”

The first steps in that direction meant going onto the practice court with coach Patrick Mouratoglou just after her victory.

Next up for Williams will be fellow American Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who beat compatriot CoCo Vandeweghe 6-2 6-1.

Serena Williams could reach a grand slam singles final without facing a top-10 rival for the first time in her career, but her quarter-final foe could be 35-year-old sister Venus or Swiss 18-year-old Belinda Bencic, who inflicted Serena’s most recent defeat.

Bencic, the highest seed remaining in Williams’ half of the draw at 12th, saved three match points in the second set and outlasted Japan’s 88thranked Misaki Doi 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.

“I’m just happy I could turn it around,” she said.

Bencic, who defeated Serena Williams in the Toronto semifinals last month, next plays Venus after the elder Williams eliminated fellow American Irina Falconi 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-2.

“She played really well in the tie-breaker,” Venus Williams said.

“In the third set I had a lot more clarity.”

Australian Open semi-finalist Madison Keys ripped 100thranked Czech Tereza Smitkova 6-1 6-2.

The American 19th seed hopes for a fourth-round date with Serena Williams, who ousted her in Australia.

Canadian 25th seed Eugenie Bouchard advanced over Slovenia’s Polona Hercog 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-3 to reach round three.

She had not won back-to-back matches since March.

Hockey girls reach final in Cromwell

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s girls’ hockey team have made the final of the Jenny McDonald Secondary Schools’ Cup with a 6-0 win over Papanui High School in Cromwell yesterday.

College teams are competing across the South Island as the winter tournament week reaches its business end.

The senior boys’ basketball team started their competition with a 73-53 loss to Burnside in Dunedin.

Kody Stuthridge-Croot top-

scored with 16 points and 12 rebounds on Wednesday before falling to a disappointing 80-77 defeat to St Bede’s College.

Matt Rae produced a fine performance with 23 points and 15 rebounds while StuthridgeCroot and Brodie Fransen scored 16 each.

Not to be outdone, the senior girls’ basketball team showed plenty of grit to take a tightly contested 65-62 win over Rangi Ruru in their opening tie.

The boys’ football team were on the wrong end of a

quite exceptional 35-metre free kick to lose 1-0 to Nayland College in Christchurch on Wednesday but bounced back to down Christ’s College 2-1, while the girls’ football team ran in to some good form with a 4-0 win over St Kevin’s and an 8-0 drubbing of Mountainview.

College’s Senior A netballers recorded a 35-18 win over Lincoln High School but were toppled 32-22 by St Margaret’s College to leave them in the ninth to twelfth place playoffs in Timaru.

Djokovic cruises Novak Djokovic strolled into the US Open third round yesterday with a 90-minute demolition of Andreas Haider-Maurer that even had Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx on his feet. The world No.1 and 2011 champion, who is bidding to reach the final for the sixth time, eased to a 6-4 6-1 6-2 win over the 52nd-ranked Austrian. Defending champion Marin Cilic and seventh seed David Ferrer moved closer to a fourth-round meeting with comfortable victories.

Vettel chasing F1 triple Sebastian Vettel bids this weekend to become only the second driver to win the Italian Grand Prix with three different teams as Ferrari seek to add some lustre to an inconsistent season in the last European round of this year’s world championship. Two weeks after a dramatic tyre failure ended his hopes of a podium finish at the Belgian Grand Prix, the four-time champion German aims to emulate the 56-year-old achievement of Briton Stirling Moss who triumphed in 1956, 1957 and 1959 with Maserati, Vanwall and Rob Walker Racing.

Election gets nasty South Korean FIFA presidential candidate Chung Mong-Joon yesterday accused the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) of “election fraud” in backing rival candidate Michel Platini. Chung said the AFC, with president Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa publicly supporting Platini, had sent unsolicited letters to almost every AFC member association except for South Korea and Jordan, to win their support for Platini. “It is an obvious case of election fraud infringing on the basic rights of other presidential candidates,” Chung said in Seoul. - AFP

Froome misses double Chris Froome’s hopes of becoming only the third rider to win the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana in the same year faded yesterday after he was cut adrift on the 11th stage. Astana rider Mikel Landa won the stage at the summit of Cortals d’Encamp in Andorra in the Pyrenees, as his team-mate Fabio Aru seized the overall lead.

Aru attacked on the final ascent of the daunting 138km ride through Andorra to take the overall leader’s red jersey from Dutchman Tom Dumoulin. It represented quite a turnaround in Astana’s fortunes after their team leader Vincenzo Nibali was expelled for getting a tow from a team car.

McIlroy to play finals

Kody Stuthridge-Croot.

World No.1 Rory McIlroy will be able to play in the European Tour’s Final Series tournaments after being given special exemption due to his ankle injury. The injury, sustained in a football kickabout with friends in July, meant that the Northern Irishman was unable to meet the 13-event qualification standard in order to remain in the Race to Dubai even though he currently leads the rankings.

McIlroy has committed to play a further three events to take his tally to 12 and, as a result, officials have used their discretion to ensure their star name is not absent from their showpiece finale.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When your feelings tell you something different from what the rest of the world seems to be saying, what and whom should you trust? At least you can be heartened that your uncertainty is a sign of maturity.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Good news! You don’t have to adjust your schedule to stay in tune with the Earth’s rotation. You’ll be in sync with all the cycles and rhythms you encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Tangible results motivate you. Intangible results are extremely demotivating.

Please know that just because something is hard to describe doesn’t make it any less real.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): People think about you.

People you’ve lost track of and don’t even remember think about you. Your extension of being goes much deeper and farther than you’ll ever know.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The highlight of the day is how your voracious appetite for learning brings you the best that life has to offer. Travel and the arts hold particular interest. Apply your knowledge, and you’ll make money.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll ask for opinions from the people you admire even though you are aware they do not know your world a millionth as well as you do. Trust yourself.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): A new person in your life has maddening quirks and charming idiosyncrasies to challenge you. Is this attraction or an annoyance?

Whatever you feel, you will feel it strongly.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): One encounter sets off a chain of events. When the scenery around you is different, you’ll know that you’ve progressed. Take pictures to document this remarkable time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Work brings a mystery, and you’re just the one to solve it. Get others involved, though, so there will be people to applaud your genius in the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Relaxation and leisure — states that you believe seem better suited to people who aren’t you. At some point, you’ll see how important it is to kick up your heels — but not today.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The current cosmic climate is heightening your awareness of others. You may even feel you can read someone’s thoughts.

As your understanding of a loved one deepens, the relationship becomes more rewarding.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Simple pleasures like hot tea, cold fizz or a car ride with the windows down are the things that make this day great. Your favourite person is the one who understands that.

Tough start for Mt Hutt basketballers

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mt Hutt College tipped-off their A Secondary Schools’ Zone Four Premiership campaign with a 7235 loss against Roncalli College and a 57-35 defeat to Dunstan High School at the EA Networks Centre yesterday.

Mt Hutt were 19-0 down at the end of the first quarter against Roncalli, but they battled on for a 40-18 score at halftime before Roncalli cleaned up the third

quarter 16-4 to extend their lead to 56-22.

Alexandra’s Dunstan High School were next up for Mt Hutt, who were behind 15-12 after the first quarter. Dunstan put the hammer down in the second period to extend their advantage to 15 points for a 32-17 score at halftime.

At the end of the game’s third quarter, Dunstan were ahead by 20 points at 43-23, but the Mt Hutt boys continued to work hard for a 57-35 result at the

Ellison: Jury still out on Hayne P17

end of the fourth quarter.

Mt Hutt manager Jane Small said some passing errors proved expensive, but the team will now look ahead to today’s match against Hagley College.

“They had some really good quarters, the third quarter was their best in the first game and in the second they had a good start but the fourth was their best,” she said.

“I guess some passing errors in both games were costly.”

Sam Rodgers was Mt Hutt’s highest scorer with 15 points against Dunstan.
