Colfer victim of Glee hoax

Fans of Glee were left stunned when Internet hackers took over Chris Colfer’s Twitter account and informed his followers that he had been fired from the popular TV show. Hackers posted a message on the 24-yearold’s social networking page suggesting Colfer had been let go due to “personal issues”. The message read: “Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE. Explanations will come shortly...” A spokesperson for Colfer was quick to react and she assured fans the message was a hoax. Glee will return to TV screens in the US later this year.

Bouchard hopes Bieber notices Professional tennis player Eugenie Bouchard would like to think fellow Canadian Justin Bieber is noticing her run to the Wimbledon final. After Bouchard won her semifinal yesterday, the 20-year-old was asked whether she thinks pop star Bieber is aware that she’s the first tennis player from Canada to reach a Grand Slam title match. “I hope so,” she said with a smile. At the Australian Open in January, Bouchard was asked during an on-court interview who she’d like to go out on a date with – and she quickly gave Bieber’s name. He responded by sending a tweet wishing her good luck.

Back in time A young man off to war received a rather unique gift to prepare him for duty on July 5, 1940 A presentation of a set of military hair brushes was made to Mr J. Hardie, who will shortly go on military service, by Mr R. A. Collins, on behalf of the combined coal merchants of Ashburton at a meeting last evening.

Jolie pays tribute to hero A grieving Angelina Jolie has paid tribute to US Olympian and World War Two hero Louis Zamperini, who inspired her film Unbroken. Zamperini died this week after a battle with pneumonia at the age of 97. His incredible story is the focus of Jolie’s second directorial effort Unbroken, which wrapped its Australian shoot earlier this year and is in post-production. It chronicles the life of Zamperini, who ran the 5000 metres in the 1936 Berlin Olympics before enlisting in the Air Force as a bombardier after the outbreak of World War Two. When his plane crashed into the Pacific, he survived 47 days on a raft, near starvation, only to be captured by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp, where he was held for two years and tortured by his captors. Jolie earlier this year described Zamperini as “a true hero”.

Surprise wedding ‘guest’ Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker gave an Irish couple a wedding day to remember by making an unexpected appearance at their reception. Maire O’Flynn and new husband Peter were celebrating their big day at Lough Eske Castle Hotel in County Donegal, Ireland when the actress and her husband Matthew Broderick arrived for dinner with friends at the venue’s restaurant. After her meal, Parker joined the bride for pictures and showered her with compliments. “She sent some of the staff to get me from the dance floor just as she was leaving, and I went out and got a lovely picture with her and she was very kind,” O’Flynn told the BBC.

■ FREAK METHVEN ACCIDENT

Helping hand turns dangerous By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Geoff McTigue put his hand to his face, felt flesh hanging down and knew he was in trouble. He’d just been hit by a piece of flying corrugated iron and blood was pouring down his arm. It was Monday morning and Methven man Geoff had been helping a mate put iron back on a shed at a rural property; iron which had blown off in the September wind storm. It wasn’t an overly windy day and Geoff was about to cut a piece of iron when a freak wind gust picked up a piece of iron from the trailer.

“

and Penny Scrivener from the Methven Medical Centre and a doctor from Ashburton; the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was on its way. It was a gruesome scene, but everyone remained calm and professional, and Geoff said that helped him stay calm. He obviously couldn’t see the damage himself, but from putting his hand to his face and looking at the amount of blood that was gushing out, he knew it wasn’t good. “I was just sitting there, fully conscious, but in myself I was thinking ‘geez, how long does the blood last’,” Geoff said. He doesn’t know how much

I was just sitting there, fully conscious, but in myself I was thinking ‘geez, how long does the blood last’

“It just felt like I’d been hit by a piece of wood or something,” Geoff said. The iron had hit him at mouth level; his lip was hanging and he had a gaping hole in his cheek. He called out to his mate who was nearby, who immediately called for an ambulance. Methven St John first responder Sarah Robinson was first to reach him, followed by Cheryl Tallon

blood he lost, or how many stitches he got. He was in Christchurch Hospital by lunchtime and had surgery that night to put his face back together. Today his left cheek is a patchwork of stitches, and there’s even more in his mouth. The first he saw of the damage was after the surgery. His wife Mandy had got the surgeon to take a photo of the damage

earlier, but Geoff couldn’t bring himself to look at it before surgery. When he did see it, he was shocked. Geoff said the surgeon told him it was fortunate the damage was more a crush than a slice, so it took just a couple of hours of surgery to fix and Geoff was discharged at lunchtime the following day. He knows he’s lucky. Had the iron been a couple of inches

higher or lower, it could have been his throat or his eyes in the firing line. For now he’s on soft food for a few days and drinking through a straw, but his wounds will heal and soon he’ll just have a scar left to show for his ordeal. He’s thankful to all those who assisted him, from the mate he was helping, to those who rushed to his aid, the friends who took his wife to the hos-

pital, and the many people who have offered support, wishes and plenty of baking since he got home. “All of the family, the whole community, the support and thoughts, and the baking … I’ve done the easy bit, I’ve just sat here and taken it all. They have done all the work.” He’s told his mate he’ll be back to finish putting the iron back on the shed in a few days.

Spring Hill inmate left with disfiguring injuries in attack A 29-year-old inmate suffered “disfiguring” injuries with a sharp weapon after a stabbing at Spring Hill Prison on Thursday night. Waikato Detective Senior Ser-

geant Whitehead said Corrections staff were alerted about 8pm Thursday. The prisoner was initially rushed to Waikato Hospital in critical condition, but was sta-

bilised overnight. “The inmate was treated for several injuries that appear to have been inflicted with a sharp weapon. A number of these are to his face. “Although disfiguring, these

injuries are not life-threatening,” Mr Whitehead said. At the time of the assault the victim was among a group of prisoners who had free access to their cells and a common exer-

cise area. The victim remained in hospital but was expected to be returned today. “A team of police investigators are currently at the prison.” - APNZ

■ WEST STREET ACCIDENT

Witness tried to stop victim By Erin TaskEr

UNDER SCRUTINY

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

An 11-year-old girl was hit by a truck right in front of Bob Clarkson’s eyes this week, and it’s something that will stay with him forever. Mr Clarkson, from Timaru, was in his campervan waiting to turn right from West Street onto East Street near the KFC corner when the accident occurred. The victim remains in Christchurch Hospital in a serious but stable condition with a broken leg and a broken pelvis. Mr Clarkson said as the girl who was hit started to run across the road with a friend, he yelled at them to stop. It was all he could do, but it wasn’t enough. One of the girls ran straight in front of his campervan straight into the path of a northbound ACL truck and trailer unit. “I wound the window down

The intersection where an 11-yearold girl was hit by a truck on Wednesday will go under the spotlight of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). NZTA senior network manager Mark Pinner said there was no recorded history of issues with pedestrian safety at the intersection, but following this week’s accident which left the girl with serious injuries, they would investigate and see whether any safety improvements or maintenance work was required. “We will also continue to monitor the site in coming months,”

he said. According to the NZTA there had been three reported injury crashes at the intersection, or within 20 metres of it, in the last five years. One resulted in a serious injury, the other two were minor injury crashes. Ashburton District Council group manager service delivery Neil McCann said council would work with NZTA to come up with any solutions and if pedestrian access was needed, they’d see what they could do. He said any road safety issue was obviously a concern for council.

and said ‘that’s dangerous’. When I yelled out ‘stop’ one girl stopped but the other one … I still have no idea why she kept going,” Mr Clarkson said. “I did everything I could to stop it; I couldn’t have done any

more. How she wasn’t killed, I have no idea.” Mr Clarkson is still shaken by what he saw and is being helped by Victim Support. He was one of the first to get to the injured girl and did what

he could to help, before taking it upon himself to divert traffic until police arrived. Mr Clarkson was worried that next time, that might not be the outcome. “The truck driver had the presence of mind to put the brake on so quickly but he took the girl with him for about six feet,” Mr Clarkson said. “The driver – I don’t blame him because there’s no way he could have stopped that quickly.” Like Matthew Bird, another man who was there when the accident occurred and helped in the aftermath, Mr Clarkson wants to see something done about the intersection. It was an increasingly busy stretch of road and it wasn’t safe to cross. “How many more accidents are going to happen there before someone does something about it?” he said.

■ WEST STREET RESCUE MISSION

Trapped in horse float Firemen worked with trainer Dave Heffernan (right) and veterinarian Glenn Beeman to help a distressed horse out of a sticky situation yesterday. Mr Heffernan called for help when his horse, Fern Fever, was spooked as a truck came too close to a horse float at the lights on the West and Moore Street intersection. The horse jumped over a barrier in the float, getting itself stuck and knocking out one of the front windows. The horse was due to race at Addington Raceway, but the unexpected delay resulted in it being scratched from the race. Mr Beeman said the horse will need the rest anyway.

In brief Apology The article ‘A happy accident that does us proud’ (Ashburton Guardian, June 14) was written by Ashburton Parents Centre media spokesperson Jane Kingan and was first published in the centre’s most recent newsletter. The Guardian should have sought permission to publish this article. We apologise unreservedly to Jane Kingan and to the Ashburton Parents Centre for this disappointing error.

Head-on collision An Ashburton woman was flown to Christchurch Hospital yesterday with serious injuries following a head-on collision north of Rakaia. A police spokesperson said the crash was between a large truck and a car and the driver of the car had suffered serious injuries. Firefighters had to cut her from the wreckage. The crash occurred on State Highway One at Bankside about 7.40am. The woman’s condition was unknown last night.

Roads named As development of new housing lots continues at Lake Hood, 10 new roads and rights of way have been named. The nine new roads will be known as Rotary Bay Boulevard, Loch Green, Riversdale Terrace, Farmstead Lane, West Bay Place, Bay View Green, Lanz Vale Lane, Lake View Terrace and Bridgewater Quay while two rights of way will be named Ash Lane and Elm Tree Lane. The names were approved this week by the Ashburton District Council’s environmental services committee but an 11th, Mountain View Lane, was turned down because it could have caused postal confusion with Methven’s Mountain View estate.

Parking income down

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 040714-TM-066

The slow commissioning of pay and display parking units on Ashburton’s East Street have carved a large slice of income out of the Ashburton District Council’s budget. With one month in its budget to run, the council’s parking income is more than $100,000 below budget. In May it received $13,000 from money lodged in parking meters and $38,500 from parking infringements paid. A total of 819 parking infringement notices were issued during the month.

■ TRUSTPOWER

Smart power meters on way Ashburton’s power consumers are on the list for smart meters after a new deal signed between Trustpower and metering company Metrix. While the roll out to the power company’s 225,000 customers nationwide won’t start until next year, Trustpower customer services manager Graeme Purches said that

when the Ashburton District’s roll out of meters started, they would become standard on most properties. The only exceptions would be in areas where there was no cellphone coverage as this was the data collection system used in areas of smaller population bases. Meter readers will continue

to be used in these areas. While Trustpower has made smart meters available in the past, it had held off carrying out a nationwide roll out until it found a supplier who could guarantee the correct data was gathered and where the meters could also offer benefits to customers. “We’re now in a space where

everyone is moving in this direction and where we know we can get the data in a way that can reduce our operating costs and we know that these meters will allow people to better monitor their electricity use at home. “We had to make sure these would work for our customers too,” Mr Purches said.

More than 50 per cent of New Zealand’s homes and businesses now have smart electricity meters with Metrix already having made 340,000 installations. The partnership with Trustpower, and other contracts, will increase Metrix’s installations to almost 600,000 nationally by the end of 2017.

■ MCRFU FUNDRAISING DINNER

Sir Graham post coaching: ‘I’m going fishing’ BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Sir Graham Henry was the guest speaker at the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union’s fundraising dinner last night. The World Cup-winning coach caught a ride down with Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore, but didn’t have any words of advice ahead of Mid Canterbury’s Ranfurly Shield challenge with Counties Manukau on Wednesday. “No I didn’t. I don’t watch Counties play and I’m sure Glenn knows what he’s doing,” Sir Graham said. “He’s a bloody good coach and will have done his homework.” Moore coached at the Highlanders during Henry’s eight year post as All Blacks coach, which meant regular catch-ups during the Super rugby season. Now that he’s a coach advisor, “I do some coaching but mainly mentoring”, he has spread his services far and wide domestically and internationally, but kept out of the way of his All Black successor, Steve Hansen. “We chat from time-to-time

but I don’t poke my nose in. “If he’s interested in what I’d have to say he’ll ring me. But I would never ring him.” He started in the early 1970s and was an amateur coach for 25 years “and loved it” until rugby went professional in 1996. “So my hobby and passion became a job.” Sir Graham has helped out Argentina for the last two seasons – a move that received some criticism from All Blacks fans, but it was just another coaching job in an illustrious career. “The guy I was assisting (in Argentina), Santiago Phelan, his previous experience was coaching his 12-year-old son and he asked if I’d give him a hand. “He was a great international player, respected as a player and person but hadn’t had any coaching experience.” Phelan is no longer the Argentina coach so that role has finished for Sir Graham, however, he hasn’t been out of work, advising Sir John Kirwan at the Blues. So after the Blues Super 15 season comes to a close, what is

By Thomas hEaTon A local garden centre’s greenthumbs were rewarded for their hard work at a garden industry conference in Tauranga last week. Lushington’s Garden, Gift, Café won best garden centre for the South Island and runner-up for the entire country, with Palmers Tauranga winning the top award at the Nursery and Garden Industry Association conference in on June 26. Lushinton’s garden centre director Miranda Sinton said it was a “huge surprise”. “There was a really high standard of competition,” Mrs Sinton said. “It’s really exciting for the girls; they’ve worked hard for a while now,” Mrs Sinton seemed optimistic about the future, as they came fourth last time they entered the biennial competition. She said the team was “pretty confident” they could win the national award next time. “We’re always thinking of new ideas and are definitely on track.”

A boiler explosion in a shed near Whangarei has set a large shed on fire. Fire crews were called to contain the fire in a 100sq m shed in Maunu, after an explosion about 8.15 last evening. Northern fire communications spokesman Jaron Phillips said no one was believed to have been injured in the blast. A neighbouring home was at risk and fire crews had to work hard to contain the blaze. Mr Phillips said fire crews from Whangarei, Kamo, Portland and Marsden Point attended the fire. - APNZ

Victims make it easy for thieves By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A recent spate of thefts from cars has shown police that Mid Canterbury people need to be more security conscious. Too many people were leaving valuable items in plain view in their vehicles, making them easy prey for criminals looking for opportunities to commit crime, Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said. “It’s a two second job to smash a small window and reach in and take something,” Mr Banfield said. He said items like wallets, handbags and phones should never be left in cars where people could see them – particularly on the front seat.

Many people had already found that out the hard way and police were now urging people to take an extra minute to ensure any valuables were put in the boot, or out of sight. “There was one recent incident where someone has lost a substantial amount of cash,” Mr Banfield said. Mr Banfield said the number of thefts from cars reported in recent weeks had been high, but police had made an arrest they believed would help bring that number back down again. He said a man was in custody and already facing numerous charges relating to thefts from cars when he appears in court. Inquiries were continuing and further charges were possible.

■ ASHBURTON INTERMEDIATE

Principal on working sabbatical Ashburton Intermediate School principal Gavin Cooper will spend most of next term on sabbatical. He will visit different intermediate schools around the country looking at their technology centres. Ashburton Intermediate School planned to introduce an inquiry learning approach school-wide. Mr Cooper wanted a better under-

standing of it, how it could be used and then put it into the technology classes to improve what was done now. He would visit rural schools in similar circumstances to Ashburton Intermediate such as those in Morrinsville, Matamata and Te Puke and Oamaru. He would be away for nine weeks. Judy Jemmett would be acting principal until his return.

■ ASHBURTON ROTARY CLUB

Two new Paul Harris Fellows By Thomas heaTon Two of Ashburton’s finest Rotarians were celebrated on Tuesday, being named Paul Harris Fellows. Peter O’Leary and David Lusk have been stalwarts of the Ashburton Rotary Club for a number of years, and have now been recognised for their work. The Paul Harris Fellowship, not exclusive to Rotary members, recognises people with real community spirit. Mr O’Leary joined Rotary in 1983 and has served on most committees and contributed highly to the community. He was previously general manager of Ashburton Licensing Trust and managed the Ashburton Trust Charitable Foundation, which led to involvement with community and sporting projects. A referee for 20 years, Mr O’Leary rose through the ranks to senior referee and

is now involved in coaching and judicial matters. Mr O’Leary is currently a member of the business committee for St John’s Ambulance, secretary treasurer and member of the Ashburton MSA men’s choir and a member of Rotary’s district finance committee. Engineer David Lusk, a successful business owner, has been a member of Ashburton’s Rotary Club since 2010 and has proved a committed member of the club. Mr Lusk has held a number of positions within Rotary, having stints as director of the international committee, club corporal and club sergeant. Mr Lusk’s dead eye has proved essential to the club bringing home the District Shooting Trophy, taking the top score many times. The club’s presidency was also handed over on Wednesday night, as outgoing president Phil Godfrey welcomed John Leadley into the role.

In brief Boy’s death tragic The tragic death of toddler Clayton O’Brien has broken the hearts of his family, says a distraught aunt. Geordi Che Latu’ila said her family were devastated when her 2-yearold nephew was run over and killed outside the KFC car park in Thackeray St, Napier on Thursday. The youngster had got out of his family’s car after it was parked, before running behind it. A car entering the carpark hit the boy. Police were speaking to the male driver of the car that hit Clayton, as well as various witnesses who were in the carpark at the time. Clayton’s parents took him to a nearby medical centre after the incident but he died about 30 minutes later. - APNZ

Bitumen fire out A fire that broke out at an Otara bitumen plant early yesterday is now out, but fire crews are still keeping watch on hot spots.

■ FOUR SQUARE’S 90TH BIRTHDAY

A double celebration at Netherby For about 68 years a Four Square store has been in business on the corner of Bridge and Albert Streets; today it has the distinction of being the longest running store of the group in Ashburton. And yesterday, as Four Square, nationally, celebrated its 90th birthday, stores around the Ashburton District celebrated too, giving away slices of birthday cake to customers. At the Netherby store staff and owners Marilyn and Peter Walker held a double celebration. Not only did July 4 mark Four Square’s birthday, it also marked a milestone for one of their staff, Gail Simms, who was celebrating a 40 year career working in Four Square Stores. Ms Simms began work as

a 15-year-old in Barr’s Four Square in Hampstead. Fifteen years later she moved to the Beach Road store and for the last 20 years has been on staff at Netherby. The birthday cake was cut by Pat Mitchell who has lived next door to the store since it was built in 1946 and Edna Segers, who with husband Dudley owned the store for many years from 1957. The original Netherby store was just 400 square feet, with the owners’ house attached behind. In 1968 it was rebuilt and extended to take in the house footprint, making it, at 4000 square feet, the largest grocery store in Ashburton at that time. See feature P16 and 17

Third trial date set For a third time a trial date has been set for a former Wairarapa Bush representative rugby player. Nathan Hemi Rolls, 34, is accused of male assaults female, wilful damage and breach of a protection order. Appearing before Judge Tony Walsh in Masterton District Court on Thursday, through lawyer Frank Minehan, Rolls confirmed not guilty pleas to the three charges along with a burglary charge. However, he did plead guilty to one charge each of breaching a protection order, wounding with intent to injure, drink driving and failing to answer district court bail. Four hours of court time has been set aside on July 25 to hear the case before the judge. Rolls was remanded in custody to reappear on that date. - APNZ

Dodger loses appeal The High Court has dismissed an appeal by a Northlander against his conviction and fine for failing to fill in a Census form on the basis that he couldn’t do so under the Maori Land Act. Shane Whatarau of Towai, south of Whangarei, was last month fined $150 by the Whangarei District Court on a charge of failing to fill in the form as required under the Statistics Act. Justice Faire said the High Court could only allow an appeal if it was satisfied that the District Court judge “erred in his or her assessment of the evidence to such an extent that a miscarriage of justice has occurred”. - APNZ

■ NETHERBY SCHOOL

Leverton’s final assembly By Toni Williams

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

Five years came to an emotional close yesterday for Netherby School principal Andrew Leverton. Mr Leverton had a final school assembly full of music and memories with pupils and invited guests. He is leaving Netherby to take over the reins at Geraldine Primary School. A bigger school with more responsibility, but his bond to Netherby and its 130 pupils has been obvious. “This is a promotion to a bigger school (330 pupils) and a chance for new and different challenges. I will miss Netherby, I have really enjoyed it here; the interaction with the staff and children in particular as well as the parents,” he said

in an earlier interview with the Guardian. The “family-focused” Netherby School had an ethnic diversity like no other school he had worked at before with Maori and Pacific Island pupils making up almost 60 per cent of the roll. “That’s made being here a really valuable experience, and the way in which children from all cultures come together alongside each other and develop an appreciation for all cultures is great at Netherby, and I think they will come out all the richer for that,” he said at the time. Mr Leverton’s final assembly saw an emotional farewell from the pupils with a short movie presentation. There was also singing, (with Mr Leverton on guitar) and pictures of him done by the junior pupils.

In brief Council fraud A Dunedin family and at least one of the city’s car dealerships have been linked to an investigation into an alleged $1 million fraud within the Dunedin City Council’s Citifleet department, it has been confirmed. About 25 of the vehicles missing from Citifleet appeared to have been sold to members of a Dunedin family, unconnected to the council or to any city motor vehicle dealership, before being on-sold. Much of the sales history has been identified by staff from independent financial consultant Deloitte, who are examining transactions while investigating alleged fraud for the council. - APNZ

Change of videos An Air New Zealand safety video featuring Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models is in the process of being withdrawn, the airline says. The Safety in Paradise video will be phased out completely by the end of this weekend. An Air New Zealand spokeswoman said the airline changed safety videos every few months, and said the video was not being removed because of public pressure. The process of phasing in the Bear Essentials of Safety video featuring Bear Grylls began about a week ago, and the process is almost complete, she said. - APNZ

■ ANNUAL RESIDENTS’ SURVEY

■ ASHBURTON POLICE

Council performance under spotlight

Fresh images released by police

By sue neWman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The performance of the Ashburton District Council over the past year will be on the line next week when the annual survey of residents begins. The independent telephone survey will see people asked a range of questions about the council’s performance and the services they received. The information is used by the council to identify where it could do better and where it needs to place future priorities. Council policy advisor Shivani Makwana said in a statement, that the survey provided an opportunity for people to share their views and opinions. “The feedback residents provide through the survey is an important source of information; it’s a great opportunity to tell us what you think and what you like and don’t like,” she said. It was important people took

the time to take part in the survey if they were called, Ms Makwana said. Results from Ashburton’s survey are used to benchmark the council against other local authorities. In last year’s survey the council ran about middle of the field in most areas both against its peer group of similar sized councils and against the national average. As it had over the past few surveys it continued to field low marks for the way in which it communicated with ratepayers and the amount of information it provided to the community. Since the last survey was conducted the council has been committed to conducting its business in as open and transparent way as possible. The survey is being carried out by the National Research Bureau and will run from Friday until July 20.

Ashburton police have released new images of a man they want to speak to in relation to an incident which took place in Ashburton in the early hours of Sunday, June 1. Police want to speak to the man who was known to have been in the Arcadia night club that night. New images have been released as police continue to investigate the incident. Police say they are unable to go into details of the incident at this time, but are keen to hear from anyone who may have information which could help identify this person. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Detective Leigh Jenkins of the Ashburton Police on 03 307 8416.

40 years at the Guardian and A

Steve Devereux, an Ashburton Guardian 40-year veteran.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 040714-TM-195

sk Steve Devereux about his working life and he gives a wry smile. Over the past 40 years he’s been part of the undoing of decades of printing history and an equal part of its rebuilding; he’s been the go-to man across most of the Ashburton Guardian’s departments and if there’s anyone who has seen and done it all, it’s Steve. He’s modest, shy almost, and he’s the last person to want to share the story of where he’s been and what he’s done. Get him talking and it quickly becomes clear he’s the consummate newspaper man. He’s passionate about the industry and has a stock of stories about the people and the events that have shaped both his life and the life of the newspaper. It’s 1974. Steve’s at that uncertain age, neither man nor boy. He’s 16, smart when it comes to English but otherwise school was just a place you went to five days a week to have fun. Back then what mum and dad said went and they’d decided it was time for Steve to leave school and get a real job. “Dad knew the foreman at the Guardian and asked me if I wanted to go and have a look at printing. I didn’t really know what that meant but I went, had a look and three days later I started. Amongst tradie types then it was about who you knew that got you the jobs.” He signed on for a typography apprenticeship that would involve 8000 hours over four-and-a-half years with three trips to Auckland, a mind-blowing experience for a naïve small-town boy. “I had absolutely no idea what I was doing; at 16 you’re still a child, but in those days when you were told it was time to get a job you went out and got one.” He was the little boy in a print room of men. He thought they were all old (they were probably under 30) and it was one of those, one of the younger men, foreman Paul ‘Fred’ Stanger, who took the lad under his wing. That relationship became one of the strongest in Steve’s life and today he credits Fred with not only being a mentor and friend, but the man who on occasion saved both his job – and his life. At that time the printing industry was about hot metal and driving linotype machines. It had been that way for the last 100 years and the industry diehards believed it would stay that way for decades to come. “OSH would have had a field day in there. We melted down lead and you expected everyone to burn themselves, it was just a matter of how bad. We had to drink a lot of milk because everyone knew that lead would kill you,” he said. A couple of years down the

When it comes to change veteran talks to reporter S today. track, Steve had mastered the linotype machine, avoided the worst of molten lead burns and was starting to feel comfortable in the job, but the winds of change were blowing. “Suddenly our whole trade was disappearing before our eyes. We had to do a crash course and learn to type in three weeks and our trade words – ems, ens and picas – were gone, they became just empty Scrabble words,” he said. Hot metal and linotype machines disappeared, replaced by cold type and paste-up. Pages were then photographed to produce negatives and printing plates were made. A new Goss press arrived to handle the plates and in a few short weeks more than 100 years of trade skills were wiped out. The forerunner of the computer had arrived. “It was big, blue, stood about two metres high and had its own special temperature-controlled room. Wow. It held four megs of information. It was cutting edge,” Steve said. While the new era of typography impressed Steve with its possibilities, he also mourned the passing of his trade. The new system, where words were keyed into a machine and then spewed out on strips of paper and where printers and typographers became known as compositors, seemed, somehow, soulless. “The old stuff had serious character about it. In those days printers and electricians were top of the trades and we were watching a trade disappear. Ours was a very skilled trade, whereas anyone could cut up paper,” he said. One of the benefits of change, however was the arrival of the female typesetter and later proofreaders in the comp room; miniskirts drove the blokes crazy. If anyone thought they’d seen the last of change, they were in for a shock. “It just kept coming. It was all designed to get better stuff on paper, but we kept getting to points where we thought this was it, and then three or four years later, it changed again. That was tough on some of the older blokes.” The upside of change was the opportunity to learn new skills, Steve said. “We were seriously at the cutting edge, there was no-one to ask. People sent us stuff and we were almost testing it to see where the bugs were. We figured out later that often the people who sold it to us were reading the books the night before they came

our Steve’s still going strong

and challenge in the newspaper industry, Ashburton Guardian sub-editor Steve Devereux has seen it all. The news industry Sue Newman about his 40 year journey from 16-year-old typography apprentice to the sports sub-editor and fix-it man of to see us so they’d know what they were doing.” Change continued, personal computers arrived, job skills changed again and by the mid1990s the print room/comp room was axed. A trade that was centuries old, jobs that had been the livelihood of generations of Ashburton men, no longer existed. Some retired, others re-trained. For Steve and his mentor and mate Fred Stanger, that change meant endless opportunity. Fred became the Guardian’s technology guru and while Steve toyed with hanging his hat on the same peg, he grabbed the opportunity to retrain as a subeditor. “I was sports mad so the option of becoming a sports sub was a win-win. It was a big choice but at the end of the day

I guess I’m a newspaper man and it was sticking with newspapers; they’re in my blood.” Swapping printing for subbing didn’t mean an end to change. Steve worked through the Guardian’s move from afternoon to morning publication and from broadsheet to tabloid format. And through it all he’s seen the newspaper defy all predictions that it was a dying form of communication. “Every time there’s a change people have said it might be the end of newspapers. The internet arrived and we thought we had hours to live. The newspaper’s still here.” Forty years is a long time, but apply it to your own life it seems almost fleeting, Steve said. It can be counted in 40 Christmas parties, 14 editors,

three stolen bikes, thousands of sticky buns eaten, a million race meetings, hundreds of games of squash played and thousands of people who passed through the Guardian’s doors as employees. “In this place there have been the super people, the weirdos, the odd mongrel and everything in between. That’s what I love about it. Some came and stayed and some came, left and went on to big things.” The only constant on the personnel front has been Guardian owner Bruce Bell. They started within a few weeks of one another and while Bruce may have been the owner’s son, he too started at the bottom, as the advertising junior. The two teenagers frequented the same parties, both enjoyed fast bikes and fast cars and both

can tell stories that make them wonder how they survived their teens and 20s. And there are the dozens of accidents, incidents and pranks that keep a workplace ticking – the day a printer let rip with a fire extinguisher in the print room and couldn’t shut it off (John Bell discovered the mess the next morning and went ballistic). Jobs were almost lost; the legendary 9.30am Friday fish and chip delivery to the print room that had people from all over the building downing tools and heading ‘out back’ for a snack; sending mice down the line in the proof-reader’s copy bag, the all-night parties that rocked – at the Guardian’s expense – after each Boulevard Day and Friday night drinks in the back bar at the Somerset Hotel that ended in time for

work on Saturday morning. The stories are endless but most are better not told, Steve said. “Sometimes I wonder how we lived through those times.” He says he’s probably the last of the dinosaur breed, the people who had just one job, one employer for life. “This place is a hell of a lot more than just a job to me. There have been changes all the time and I know new opportunities will continue to come up. Looking back I’d take the same path; I’ve never looked back and said I wish I’d become a doctor or a dentist.” But he does look back and say he wouldn’t be where he is today, without his mentor and mate Fred. “He was an influence on everything in my life. I wouldn’t be here without him.”

Dunedin building boom Dunedin’s largest construction boom in decades is about to begin, with the University of Otago revealing plans to spend $650 million upgrading its campuses. The university for the first time yesterday released the schedule and total cost of its massive 15-year “priority development plan”, which involved more than 20 projects and was expected to create “hundreds” of jobs for Dunedin.

The plan includes a project to demolish its six storey 1969-built Arts building and its property services building, both in Albany St, and develop a “humanities precinct” in their place. A “teaching, learning and research” space was to be built at Portobello as a replacement for its old aquarium building, which had been closed since 2012 when it was found to be earthquakeprone. - APNZ

Mid Canterbury Year 8 students Caitlin Smith and Olivia Wilson have been recognised for their leadership skills. Caitlin from Mt Hutt College and Olivia from Hinds School were given Sir Peter Blake Young Leader Awards. They were both humbled by the award and its recognition, especially as only 270 were awarded nationwide. The girls, both 12, were nominated by their schools after they showed exceptional leadership within their respective schools. Between them they had a host of leadership roles such as librarian, student council, debate club and bus monitor. In the nomination Caitlin was described as a quiet, mature leader whose humble, gracious and co-operative personality had earned the respect of her peers and teachers. She was involved with the school debating and croquet teams, as a form captain, librarian and café assistant. Outside of school she worked with her sister to maintain the Crusaders rugby blog. Olivia’s nomination described her a

competent, confident student with mature work habits, interests and abilities. She had grown into a leading student with time to complete all school work to a high standard, manage an extremely busy family and sporting life and still gave her time willingly in leadership and support of other students. Ashburton Westpac Bank manager Janice Street said Olivia and Caitlin could be proud of their achievements. “We hope that receiving Young Leader Awards will help to develop their selfconfidence even further and inspire them to keep on achieving,” she said. “Recognising and celebrating their success also shows other students what great leadership looks like, so they can aspire to do the same.” They were presented with a medal and certificate last week by Ms Street and business manager Kelvin Small. Sir Peter Blake believed in the potential of young Kiwis to achieve great things. This year is the 10th anniversary of the Sir Peter Blake Trust. Westpac had been a primary sponsor of the Sir Peter Blake Trust for the past nine years.

■ PHOENIX PRESCHOOL

Keeping an eye on Matariki Phoenix Preschoolers and their whanau were looking heaven-ward yesterday searching the sky for stars, planets and moons. About 20 Phoenix whanau members joined in the Matariki celebration at the observatory sited at Ashburton College. They had shared kai – vegetable soup made by the preschoolers - at the preschool before heading next door to look for the seven star cluster. Matariki was the name of the Pleiades star cluster that appeared in the winter skies in late May or early June. It signalled the beginning of the Mäori New Year. It was officially on June 28. The cluster consisted of hundreds of stars, but only seven were seen clearly with the naked eye in Aotearoa New Zealand. It was visible until March when it disappeared for two months over autumn. As well as Matariki, the pre-schoolers also looked for Mars and the new moon.

■ NEW ZEALAND YOUNG FARMERS CONTEST

Hinds AgriKids take third place BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Hinds Agris team have done Mid Canterbury proud, taking out third place in the national AgriKids NZ competition. Ella Yeatman and William Ward, from Hinds Primary School teamed up with Ben MacLeod, who attends Waihi School, for yesterday’s challenge, which ran alongside the grand finals of the Young Farmers Contest at Lincoln University. The trio were reasonably confident after the theory section, and led the way in the practical challenge, until they were delayed in identifying the flavour of a selection of juices. The 14 teams in the competition had travelled from Keri Keri in the north to Winton in the south to try their luck. “We are pretty happy about the way it went – it was a lot of fun,” Ella said. Meanwhile Hinds Young Farmers Club member James Davidson was holding the banner for the Aorangi region in the main contest of the day. The 25-year-old red-headed dairy farmer was well supported by a large contingent wearing a distinctive selection of red or orange wigs. Being the rookie up against more experienced competitors didn’t faze James at all. Throughout the gruelling set of agri challenges he kept his cool and scored well.

“I’m more prepared for some challenges than others – I’ve never done some of these things before,” he said. By the time the agri sports element of the contest kicked off yesterday afternoon there was not a lot between the seven finalists. The challenges included starting and driving a combine harvester, assembling an electric fence gate, covering a haystack, cutting down a lamb carcass and cutting a logo out of a steel plate with a gas torch. Safety infringements resulted in a 30 second time penalty, and once the first contestant crossed the line, the others had only 10 minutes to complete the course. James kept up with the field but after numerous attempts to light the gas torch he made a strategic decision to head for home, stacking fertiliser bags on a pellet completing a tackle and scoring a try across the line to finish first. “I thought bugger this – I’m not going to make it here, so I decided to put the pressure on,” he said. “It’s been years since I used an LPG Ella Yeatman, Ben MacLeod and William Ward, competing as the Hinds Agris, gas torch.” Last night the contestants delivered romped in to third place in the AgriKids NZ competition.

The iconic Kiwi

Generations of Kiwis grew up with a Four Square shop no more than a short walk from their back door. Over the years the corner store has disappeared, but the brand and its philosophy haven’t. Stores are still a familiar sight in suburbs around New Zealand and yesterday the grocery group celebrated its 90th birthday. Reporter Sue Newman checks out Ashburton’s ties with the Four Square brand.

Pat was there from Day 1

ife isn’t easy today for an independent food retailer and it wasn’t easy back in the 1920s. Aucklander J. Heaton Barker was one of those independent grocers and he decided it was time to get a better deal for the small guys who were finding it tough making a living under pressure from the buying power of the big players. He called a meeting to discuss setting up a co-operative buying group for the independents and the foundations of the Foodstuffs empire were laid. The new group needed a name and legend has it that while Mr Barker was talking on the telephone on July 4, 1924, he doodled and later discovered he’d drawn a square around the number 4 on his calendar. It was a light bulb moment as he realised he had found the name for the buying group. It would, he said “stand ‘Four Square’ to all the winds that blew”. By the end of 1924, products were appearing under the Four Square name, and by 1929, a common branding for stores was on the way. New Zealand’s first selfservice grocery store opened in Onehunga in February 1948. Until then shop staff and their goods were on one side of the counter with customers and their shopping list on the other. Once self-service arrived, however, it quickly became the grocery shopping norm. While self-service has endured, so too has Four Square’s advertising icon, the Four Square Man. He was born in the 1950s, initially in newspa-

per and poster advertising, but he soon became part of the grocery chain’s identity, appearing in every store. Four Square was the name emblazoned on grocery stores around the Ashburton District for many years; some say numbers may have topped 24. In Ashburton alone as recently as 1977 there were about 16 stores. Today Four Square is one of the small guys in the Foodstuffs stable, but it’s still true to its origins, retaining the family values that have been its hallmark since its inception, Four Square South Island general manager Alan Smith said. He says the stores are ‘mum and dad’ stores with just a handful in Ashburton, Methven and Rakaia.

at Mitchell says she’s been served by as many grocers as she has had ministers in her life – eight of each. She and husband David lived next door to the Netherby Four Square from the day it was built and over the years they’ve watched the shop grow, trading hours extend and the range of goods sold change dramatically. “When we came here there was an old house in a paddock that was being surveyed off,” she said. In the style of grocery stores of that time, the shop was built on the street with the house attached. That was 1946, at a time when post-war ration books were still in use for many everyday items such as butter, sugar and tea. Graeme and Betty Murray were the first in what was to be a passing parade of eight owners. Pat recalls watching old men from Tuarangi Home walking past to buy goods and of huge blocks of cheese being cut up with a wire. “Drovers used to take the cattle and sheep past here and down Bridge Street to the

works and if you didn’t have a fence there was an awful mess,” she said. In 1957 Edna and Dudley Seger took over the store, goods still arrived in bulk and Edna remembers working at a long table in the garage packing dry goods into paper bags. Grocery items were stacked on shelves and ladders were required to gather items from top shelves as they were ordered. The war might have been long over, but that didn’t mean goods were always readily available Edna said. “I can remember Dudley stockpiling goods for regular customers.” Buying the store meant living behind the store and for Edna that wasn’t an easy change. “We came from a lovely new home on Walnut Avenue and I remember crying all the way down here.” In those days grocery stores were the domain of men and she believes her husband was one of the first to employ a woman on staff. Her own job, she said, was

mainly in the background, until Dudley decided to start a haberdashery store across the road. Then Edna found herself back in the workforce, behind the counter. The family later moved away from the store as it was remodelled and expanded to include the house, taking it into a modern era of grocery retailing. The new store opened in November 1968 and at that time it was the largest supermarket in town. Dudley put a van on the road, delivering to town and country with the slogan “You ring … we bring” painted on the side. “For us it was a lovely life; your customers are like your friends. It’s been a great group to work with. They’re like family.” Today Marilyn and Peter Walker own the store and they love what they do. Yes, the hours are long but there is a real satisfaction in knowing you’re providing an essential service to a huge range of people, Marilyn said. The store today is one of the larger Four Squares but that doesn’t mean it’s run like a largescale supermarket, she said. “Here you have to know all the departments, you know how to do everything because you don’t have department managers, that’s you. We were told it wouldn’t be easy, and it isn’t, but we love it.”

family store

MacGregors kept it in the family T he MacGregors are a family of grocers. Dad Hec founded the business, establishing a Four Square Store on Cass Street in 1963 and his sons followed setting up their own stores in Creek Road and Moore Street, and on the south side of the Allenton shopping centre. Dad Hec opened another store across the road in 1968 and for a time the MacGregor name was above the door on five shops. Hec’s Allenton is the only one still operating. Brent took over in 1972 and now with 42 years in the trade, he’s earned himself the honour of being the longest-serving Four Square member in the

South Island. Today he loves the business as much as he did on day one and while there has been a raft of changes, the core value of building good customer relationships has been a constant. Over the years he’s watched both the number of Four Squares and the number of grocery stores in general decline. “When I started there were 18 Four Squares and a couple of IGAs around town, but then the supermarkets arrived,” he said. Supervalue was the first to fly the flag, in the Triangle and then in the building now home to Briscoes.

The Countdown flag was hoisted up the mast in 1982 followed by New World in about 2000. Tomorrow, who knows, Brent said. It’s a very different trading environment today, he said, not only in the goods sold and store layouts, but also in the way the businesses are run. “We all used to get our canvas bags of cash at the end of the week, throw them under the bed at home, go away for the weekend and never lock the house, come back and on Monday morning pull the money out from under the bed and go back to work.” His shop still has the same retail space, but is now a mini-supermarket rather than a

grocery store. “We’ve refitted a number of times over the years and I believe we’re one of the hubs of this community, especially for the oldies, they love that we give them the personal touch you can’t get in a big supermarket.” The days of working nine to five have long gone and so has the Thursday late opening night rush. Now his bakers start at 2am, he opens the doors at 5am and finally turns the lock at around 9pm. Forty-two years down the track, Brent is still passionate about being Allenton’s Four Square man, but he knows the MacGregor name and the

grocery trade will end when he retires. “Realistically when I retire it will be the end of our family’s era in the trade. My daughters aren’t interested and neither are any nieces and nephews, but I still enjoy it and I’m still here at 4am or 5am most days.” Like any business, having good staff is the key to running a good business and Brent has some who have been on the payroll for more than 25 years. He also employs a constant stream of students and gets a kick out of watching their progress through their careers and knowing his store played a small part in funding their futures.

■ BRAZIL

In brief Dane wins virtual Cup A Danish teenager has claimed the virtual World Cup by beating his English rival in the final of the online Playstation gaming competition, overcoming a field of almost two million entrants. While his nation did not make it to the real World Cup, 18-yearold August Rosenmeier did his bit for Danish pride by beating England’s David Bytheway 3-1 to win the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC). The FIWC, played exclusively with EA Sports’ FIFA 14 game and on a Sony PlayStation 3, has grown from 28,000 entrants in the inaugural tournament in 2004. Rosenmeier, who said he “trains” four to six hours a day, won $20,000. - AP

Overpass collapses; 2 killed An overpass under construction collapsed killing at least two people and trapping a commuter bus, two construction trucks and a car in an embarrassment for a country that has been basking in praise for what has mostly been a smoothly running soccer tournament. The city government released a statement saying officials had counted two dead and 19 injured. There was no word on whether foreign tourists were among those killed or injured. Authorities didn’t think the casualty numbers would rise

too sharply – though they said they had not yet reached a small passenger car that was flattened by the falling overpass. It was not known if anyone inside the car escaped or remained inside. Officials said they would be working through the night trying to the car. The incident is the biggest black eye yet for Brazil’s hosting of the World Cup, which has been carried out with less chaos than many had feared. In the run-up to the event, there were serious concerns

about the ability of Brazil’s airports and roads to handle the influx of tourists because of delays or outright cancelations of projects to improve urban transportation. It was not known what caused the overpass to fall. Cowan, the construction company responsible for building it, said investigators were on site but had not released any conclusions. “It sounded like an earthquake or a bomb,” said Alexandra Pereira, a teacher who was taking a nap with her 10-yearold son in her apartment build-

ing just 20 metres from the overpass. “I looked out my window and panicked. I couldn’t see anything but a huge cloud of dust.” Within seconds, Pereira said, her neighbours from the ground floor rushed out to pull injured from the bus that was partially trapped under the overpass. The overpass collapsed about five kilometres from Mineirao stadium, which has hosted several World Cup matches in recent weeks and is the site of a semifinal match on Wednesday. - AP

■ IRAQ

Kurdish leader pushes for independence With large parts of Iraq in militant hands, a top Kurdish leader called on regional lawmakers to lay the groundwork for a referendum on independence, a vote that would likely spell the end of a unified Iraq. The recent blitz by Sunni militants across much of northern and western Iraq has given the country’s five million Kurds – who have long agitated for independence – their best chance ever to seize disputed territory and move closer to a decades-old dream of their own state. But the Kurds still face considerable opposition from many in the international community, including the United

States, which has no desire to see a fragmented Iraq. A Western-established no-fly zone in 1991 helped the Kurds set up their enclave, which has emerged over the years as a beacon of stability and prosperity, while much of the rest of the country has been mired in violence and political turmoil. The three-province territory was formally recognised as an autonomous region within Iraq following the US-led invasion in 2003 that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. Speaking to the regional legislature, the president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Massoud Barzani, told lawmakers to set up an elec-

toral commission to “hurry up” and prepare for “a referendum on self-determination.” “We will be in a better position and we will have better (political) weapons in our hands. But how we will do this?” he said. “What kind of steps will there be? For this, you have to study the issue and take steps in this direction. It is time to decide our self-determination and not wait for other people to decide for us.” Kurdish fighters already have seized control of disputed territory – including the city of Kirkuk, a major oil hub. The Kurds say they only want to protect the areas from the Sunni militants. Many of the

zones have considerable Kurdish communities that the Kurds have demanded be incorporated into their territory, making them unlikely to give them up. With its own oil resources, the Kurdish region has long had a contentious relationship with Baghdad, with disputes over a range of issues including how to share the revenue. While the Sunni militants’ offensive may have turned the situation in the Kurds’ favour, there is still significant opposition to changing the status quo. Kurdish independence is opposed by the US, as well as by Iraq’s regional neighbours, Turkey and Iran. - AP

A top Ukrainian security official says government troops have cleared more than a dozen towns of armed pro-Russia separatists and now control two-thirds of the eastern regions at the center of the insurgency. National security council secretary Andriy Parubiy said Ukrainian forces are still attacking rebel positions with artillery and planes. He said 17 villages had been secured by government forces since a unilateral cease fire expired on Monday. He said Ukrainian forces now control 23 of 36 local regions within Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. - AP

Mum kills teacher Police say the mother of a pupil at a French pre-school has stabbed a teacher to death in front of her class on the last day of the school year. French President Francois Hollande expressed outrage at “this abominable drama” and sent the education minister to the school in Albi in southern France. A police official in Albi said the mother attacked the teacher at the Edouard Herriot pre-school. The official would not comment on possible reasons for the attack. The teacher was leading a class of 5 and 6-year-olds, according to the Albi mayor’s office. - AP

■ PALESTINIAN UNREST

Israel rushes forces to Gaza border The Israeli military rushed additional forces to its southern border with the Gaza Strip, vowing to halt a growing wave of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, while new clashes erupted in east Jerusalem in response to the death of an Arab boy who Palestinians say was killed by Israeli extremists. Israel said the show of force on the Gaza border was a defense measure. But persistent rocket fire raised the prospects of a tough Israeli response, with the military saying more than 40 rockets or mortar shells were fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza yesterday. Tensions have been high since

three Israeli teenagers were abducted in the West Bank on June 12, sparking a massive manhunt that ended with the discovery of their bodies early this week. Israel has blamed Hamas for the abductions and launched a crackdown on the Islamic militant group in the West Bank, drawing rocket attacks out of Gaza and Israeli airstrikes in a near-daily cycle of retaliation. The situation deteriorated further after the burned body of a Palestinian youth, whose identity was confirmed as Mohammed Abu Khdeir, was found in a forest after he was seized near his home in east Jerusalem. The Palestinians accused Is-

raeli extremists of killing the teen in a revenge attack over the deaths of the Israeli youths. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to calm the situation, condemning Abu Khdeir’s killing and vowing to find the attackers. “We don’t know yet the motives or the identities of the perpetrators, but we will. We will bring to justice the criminals responsible for this despicable crime whoever they may be,” Netanyahu said. “Murder, riots, incitement, vigilantism, they have no place in our democracy.” Following an especially intense barrage of rocket fire,

■ UNITED STATES

including two projectiles that hit homes in the southern Israeli town of Sderot, Israel sent tanks, artillery and ground forces to the border area early yesterday, defence officials said. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, called the move “defensive” and said he hoped the rocket fire would halt. “Everything we are doing is to de-escalate the situation but on the other hand be prepared for actions that can develop if they do not de-escalate,” Lerner said. Israel has launched two largescale operations in Gaza in recent years in response to rocket fire on its south, most recently

in 2012. The fighting ended in a ceasefire. The Israeli military said 34 of the rockets or mortar shells fired Thursday exploded inside Israel while the rest blew up prematurely inside Gaza or were shot down. Four rockets were fired out of Gaza just before nightfall, with one striking Sderot and the others landing in open areas. In Gaza, two senior Hamas officials said the group has “no interest” in any kind of escalation and hoped the cease-fire could be restored. But they warned that rocket fire would continue until Israel halts its attacks on Gaza. - APNZ

Ex-editor Coulson gets 18 months for phone hacking

Dad ‘showed no emotion’ after boy died A US man who police say intentionally killed his toddler son by leaving the boy inside a hot SUV was unhappy in his marriage and had looked at websites that advocated against having children, a detective testified yesterday. Police Detective Phil Stoddard testified at a hearing that evidence showed Justin Ross Harris was practically leading a double life and should not be granted bond. Stoddard described the evidence police have suggesting Harris, who is charged with murder, killed his 22-month-old son Cooper intentionally. Harris has told police he was supposed to drive his son to day care the morning of June 18 but drove to work without realising

that his son was strapped into a car seat in the back. Scores of reporters and some curious members of the public were at the hearing just outside Atlanta. The case has generated a large amount of media attention across the country. Some of Harris’ supporters also were in the courtroom, where police and prosecutors laid out the most detailed account yet of their case against him. Harris was exchanging nude photos with several women, including teenagers, even on the day his son died when he was at work, Stoddard said. The man also had looked at a website that advocated against having children and had done

an Internet search for “how to survive in prison,” the detective said. “I think the evidence now is showing intent,” Stoddard said. He said Harris should remain in jail because he is a flight risk: There is evidence he was leading a double life, he has family in Alabama, and the former emergency dispatcher has law enforcement experience. The detective said after the boy died, Harris showed no emotion while being interviewed by investigators. At one point after Harris pulled over with the dead child in a strip mall parking lot, an officer told Harris to get off his cellphone, Stoddard said. Harris twice refused, using profanity, and was then arrested. - AP

Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson, a onetime aide to British Prime Minister David Cameron, was sentenced to 18 months in prison yesterday for participating in a conspiracy to hack the phones of celebrities, politicians and crime victims. Three other former journalists at the tabloid and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire all received shorter sentences. Coulson was convicted last week after an eight-month trial stemming from revelations of illegal eavesdropping on mobile-phone voicemails by staff of the now-defunct Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper. Another former editor, Rebekah Brooks, and four others were acquitted. Judge John Saunders said Coulson “has to take the major share of the blame” for the vast amount of hacking that took place while he was editor between 2003 and 2007. “He knew about it. He encouraged it when he should have stopped it,” the judge said. The defendants have said they did not know phone hacking was illegal when they used the technique to get scoops on celebrities, royals and politicians. But the judge said they knew it was “morally wrong.” The hacking revelations outraged many Britons, and triggered police inquiries that led to the arrest of scores of journalists, police officers and other officials.

Andy Coulson

This was the first major trial to stem from the scandal, and Saunders acknowledged that “there will be those who will be outraged” that the sentences were so short. But he said the legal maximum for phone hacking was two years in prison. Saunders said he was reducing Coulson’s sentence from the maximum to reflect aspects of “good character” he had shown in helping others, and because the case had taken so long to get to court. Coulson also faces a retrial on two charges of bribing police officers for royal phone directories. The judge sentenced former journalists Greg Miskiw and Neville Thurlbeck to six months in prison, while another reporter, James Weatherup, received a suspended four-month sentence and community service. All received shorter sentences because they had pleaded guilty. Private eye Glenn Mulcaire, the newspaper’s chief phone hacker, received a suspended six-month sentence. - AP

In brief All Blacks in Samoa The All Blacks will play Samoa for the first time in Apia next year as both nations embark on their World Cup preparations. For some time the two countries have been trying to reach this historic deal, and the Herald understands an agreement has been reached to stage the test, probably in late July. They have played five tests since their first duel at Eden Park in 1993 when the All Blacks were pushed hard before winning 35-13. Each subsequent test has been played in New Zealand but the haka will challenge the siva tau in Apia next season once the Super 15 tournament finishes. - NZH

Big test for Waratahs Coach Michael Cheika says his NSW Waratahs face a test of character against the highflying Highlanders on Sunday as Super Rugby’s ultimate under-achievers strive to finally live up to expectations. The Waratahs can lock up a precious home final with victory at Allianz Stadium and stand-in NSW captain Michael Hooper admits the pressure is on to finally deliver for their long-suffering fans. Hooper admitted he wasn’t sure what the unpredictable and talented Highlanders would throw at the Tahs. “I’m not too sure how they’re going to play. They play different each week,” he said. - AAP

Expectations high Twelve months ago it looked as if Tony Woodcock’s grip on the All Blacks’ No1 jersey was slipping. Physically he wasn’t in great shape - several hamstring problems and a painful nose abscess kept him out of the first June test against France at Eden Park before he took a bench role behind Crusader Wyatt Crockett, whom he will come up against in Christchurch tonight. This year, though, he has been rejuvenated on his return to Auckland and his future up to and including next year’s World Cup looks bright. Excellent form in the three tests over England has carried on for the Blues - he played one of his best games all season in last weekend’s victory over the Force in Perth. “We’re going down there to play a pretty experienced and powerful Crusaders side,” he said. “We just know it’s going to be a big challenge and it’s up to us to get - APNZ ourselves right for it.”

Burgess ‘inspiring’ South Sydney teammates are convinced rugby-bound Sam Burgess is on a mission to “go out with a bang” and lead the Rabbitohs to NRL premiership glory. Burgess is the form forward in the competition, trailing only influential halfbacks Johnathan Thurston and Ben Hunt in the league’s player of the year count, and Souths captain John Sutton has no doubt the big Englishman’s looming cross-code switch is a driving motivation. - AAP

After suffering through a three-game losing streak that sent their season into a tailspin, the Chiefs kept alive their dream of a Super Rugby hat-trick and, at the same time, all but ended the Hurricanes’ own playoff hopes. Although the Hurricanes still sit inside the top six - one point ahead of the Chiefs - they will almost certainly watch helplessly as they get squeezed out during an ill-timed bye week. The Chiefs could be one side to sneak past their inactive foes, with another win needed next week against the Blues. And their chances of finding that result at Eden Park will be strong if they replicate their performance from last night. There were only two disappointments for the Chiefs - fin-

ishing with just two tries when they really required a bonus point, and the fact this side of them has remained unseen for so long. After all, it took until their campaign was on the line before the defending champions started to show some of the form that made them so fearsome in seasons past. They were slick with ball in hand, picking-and-going with great success around the rucks and linking well when they chose to spread it wide. The defence was staunch, the lineout excelled and the scrum survived a stern test from the Hurricanes pack, while Aaron Cruden had a hand in everything good as the Chiefs slowly but surely established supremacy after an even opening. There were no signs of the sky-high stakes for much of the match, with a cagey approach was eschewed in favour of a punishing intensity that saw both defences bending without breaking. That the first points took 20

Beauden Barrett

minutes to arrive was somewhat surprising, but the home side signalled their attacking intent when Cruden turned down an easy three points to kick for the corner and allow Jamie Mackintosh to crash over. As pleasing as that was for the Chiefs, they would have been equally satisfied with the lack of response from the Hurricanes, with the visitors struggling to get their share of the ball as the half wound down. Cruden and Beauden Barrett instead engaged in a prolonged

kicking battle, one from which the Chiefs emerged in better shape as they found a fluid rhythm while attacking around the fringes. Cruden’s third penalty saw the Chiefs take a 10-point lead to the break and it was a gap indicative of the control the champs found, leading in almost every offensive statistic as the Hurricanes made three times as many tackles. The visitors continued to struggle to unlock the Chiefs’ defence as the second spell saw another lift in tempo, an increased speed that seemed to suit the Chiefs as the Hurricanes were left hanging on. The Hurricanes pulled within eight when Hadleigh Parkes stretched across the line from close range but, after a substantial delay created by a triple streak from the stadium’s Green Zone, the visitors never threatened to force a nervy finale. Instead, the Chiefs closed out the contest and turned their attentions to another New Zealand conference showdown with the Blues. - APNZ

Bouchard to meet Kvitova in final Eugenie Bouchard became the first Canadian to reach a grand slam singles final at Wimbledon yesterday and will tackle 2011 champion Petra Kvitova in a deciding match-up few could have predicted. Bouchard, the 20-year-old world number 13, reached the championship finale by beating Romanian third seed Simona Halep, the French Open runner-up, 7-6 (7-5) 6-2. Kvitova swept into her second Wimbledon final with a 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 victory over fellow Czech and close friend Lucie Safarova. Tall, blonde Bouchard, a marketing dream for the women’s game with her photogenic looks, athleticism and confident, positive demeanour, will also rise to number seven in the world rankings, the highest position ever achieved by a Canadian player. Halep, the highest seed left in the draw after the shock defeats of Serena Williams and Li Na, suffered a nasty fall in the fifth game of the opening set when she jarred her left ankle into the bone-dry Centre Court. Play was also held up in the first set tiebreak when a fan was overcome by the 30-degree heat and had to be helped from the court. But the distractions did not hinder Bouchard who achieved her first win over a top-five player at

the sixth attempt, although she needed six match points to get the job done. “It was hard at the end. It took a lot of mental strength to get through that,” said Bouchard, playing in her third grand slam semifinal of the year. “It’s my first grand slam final and probably my toughest match yet. I’m looking forward to the challenge. I never say I’m surprised because I put in a lot of hard work over the years. This has been a lot of years in the making. I expect a tough challenge in the final. She will go in prepared. “It’s going to be really cool. I’m glad I got to stay at Wimbledon for two whole weeks. I’m going to give it my best effort in the final.” Bouchard hit 20 winners to Halep’s 13 with both players committing 23 unforced errors. Kvitova won her only grand slam title at Wimbledon in 2011 and the sixth seed is one more victory away from lifting the Venus Rosewater dish for the second time after seeing off 23rd seed Safarova with 24 winners and eight aces. Overnight, old world warriors Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, with 23 grand slam titles between them, faced the rookie ambitions of Milos Raonic and Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the Wimbledon final. - AFP

Cox Plate for Sacred Falls

Lamaze gets the chocolates By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

She might have one of the smaller teams in the racing business, but Ashburton’s Cheri Trembath was busy popping champagne corks last night. Her training efforts paid off yesterday when she scored two from two at the Ashburton Racing Club’s winter meeting, with youngster Putt For Cash and seasoned campaigner Lamaze. In the second open class race on the card, Lamaze with Matthew Cameron in the saddle led from the gates and was never challenged over the

2400m until the dying stages of the race. In a small field of six, Lamaze looked pure class and while leading from the get-go might not have been Trembath’s race plan, she said the soft start meant setting the pace was Cameron’s only option. Yesterday’s win in the Robbies Bar and Bistro Open was the seven-year-old mare’s second open class win from the Trembath stable. She won the Cromwell Cup in March. Prior to moving to Trembath’s 12 months ago, she was with Jan Hay. Lamaze is owned by Gilbert Butterick.

Yesterday Lamaze ran the 2100m in 2:21.26 on a slow 8 track to win by 1 1/2lengths. While the open class win had Trembath smiling, she was equally pleased with the performance of youngster Putt For Cash, running home second in The Rural Transport maiden over 1400m. “I’m really happy with him. Very proud of him. “I believe he’s got a few wins in him to come,” she said. She has just four horses in work, and as a one-woman stable said that keeps her more than busy. “They get all the time and all

the love. I guess they’re all a little spoiled.” The spoiling for Lamaze does not include indulging her hearty appetite, with Trembath saying she has to keep the mare in solid work to keep her weight down. The winner’s purse in the other open race of the day, the RD Petroleum Winter Cup Trial, also went to Ashburton, with Jan Hay taking the money with the good performer, seven year old Dr Bee Dee, ridden by Toni Direen and owned by the Red Syndicate. Dr Bee Dee ran the 1400m in 1:27.75, winning by a head.

Sacred Falls’ spring preparation will revolve around a crack at the $A3 million Gr.1 Cox Plate in October. The dual Doncaster Handicap winner hasn’t raced since he finished runner-up behind It’s A Dundeel in the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes and that performance decided his Monee Valley target. “That showed us a Cox Plate campaign warranted serious consideration,” trainer Chris Waller’s racing manager Liam Prior said. “He’s come back bigger and better. This is a horse that just keeps improving but in saying that he’s always raced at the elite level. He’s a serious racehorse and looks set for a huge campaign.” - APNZ

Board’s boss quits The highly paid chief executive of the state-run NZ Racing Board has quit with eight days’ notice, leaving the board without a replacement and the public without a reason for his departure. The resignation of former banking executive Chris Bayliss, 47, was announced yesterday, less than two years after he started the job. The role of running the body, which oversees racing and betting, had an annual pay packet of more than $1 million. Harness Racing Trainers and Drivers Association president John Lischner said he was “very sorry to see him go”. “I thought he was making a difference,” Mr Lischner said. - APNZ

MID CANTERBURY’S SHIELD CHALLENGES 1: Canterbury 31 Ashburton County 7 1933 - Lancaster Park Ashburton scored first and went to halftime down 7-13 before being blown out as the Canterbury backs proved to slick. 2: Southland 24 Ashburton County 16 1938 - Rugby Park, Invercargill Southland named their top team and held onto the shield but on the run of play Ashburton were unlucky to lose in the deep south. 3: Southland 50 Ashburton County 0 1939 - Rugby Park, Invercargill Having gone close a year earlier Ashburton faded in the second half after trailing just 16-0 at the break, but with the wind in the second half Southland stormed to victory. 4: Canterbury 14 Mid Canterbury 6 1956 - Lancaster Park Mid Canterbury made Canterbury dig deep to hold on to a three point lead at halftime, but couldn’t maintain the effort in the second half. 5: Taranaki 16 Mid Canterbury 0 1958 - Rugby Park New Plymouth Against a hulking forward pack Mid Canterbury held their own and only some stirring cover defence denied Mid Canterbury getting closer. 6: Canterbury 28 Mid Canterbury 8 1970 - Lancaster Park Mid Canterbury put up a strong fight in the first half but succumbed to increased pressure in the second spell to go down by 20 points. 7: Marlborough 36 Mid Canterbury 9 1973 – Lansdowne Park, Blenheim A skilled and polished Marlborough side was simply too strong for Mid Canterbury. 8: Canterbury 28 Mid Canterbury 0 1983 – Lancaster Park On a cold wet day Mid Canterbury opted to have the wind in the second half, but the forward pack couldn’t live up to expectations. Former Mid Canterbury rep Craig Green was a star performer for the Red and Blacks that had Robbie Deans score a try and kick three penalties and two conversions. 9: Canterbury 17 Mid Canterbury 7 1985 - Lancaster Park Two late tries gave Canterbury a more comfortable win than they should have been credited with after a strong performance from Mid Canterbury. Murray McLeod scored a try, but Canterbury led 6-4 at the break and after trading penalties to start the second half the score was 9-7 until Canterbury’s two tries inside the final 10 minutes. 10: Auckland 66 Mid Canterbury 0 1989 - Ashburton Showgrounds Auckland initiated taking the Shield on tour in 1988 and in 1989 Mid Canterbury hosted their first ever shield challenge only to be run over by a star-studded Auckland featuring the likes of John Kirwan, Sean Fitzpatrick, Grant Fox and Zinzan Brooke. Vai’Inga Tuigamala scored five of the 11 tries as Auckland repelled a 29th consecutive challenge.

Shield fever Another crack at the shield BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

In 2002 Jon Sharpe (main pic) was a fresh-faced 19-year-old when Mid Canterbury challenged Canterbury for the Ranfurly Shield. Now he is “a little more dinted” 31-year-old who is ready for his second crack at the shield. Sharpe was a senior debutant playing for Collegiate in 2002, winning the Watters Cup that season and was called up for Mid Canterbury - featuring in the shield match. He came off the bench early in the second half and had a hand in Mid Canterbury’s lone moment to savour in the 78-10 loss to Canterbury in Ashburton. “We scored a try not long after halftime. “I had the ball in my arms as we drove over but Andre Renata was ahead of me and he scooped it back out of my arms and scored the try.” Sharpe enjoyed the shield experience and went on to have a good season with the Hammers in the division two of the old National Provincial Championship. “We had quite a good year for Mid Canterbury too that year, but needed to beat Counties in the last game to make the semi-finals. We got towelled up.” They lost 55-7. That game was at the same ground they will play on Wednesday, with Sharpe hoping for a much closer contest this time around. Sharpe featured in a few games for Mid Canterbury in 2003 before he went overseas, working and playing in the UK for almost a decade. When he returned to New Zealand

he was initially based in Nelson, playing for Stoke alongside another player to return to Mid Canterbury this season, Brenton Connell, before coming “closer to home”. “I’m back here living with my parents in Ashburton while we build a house in Christchurch. “I decided to join Rakaia because I wanted to play my rugby back in Mid Canterbury again and finish where I started.” He impressed in his return to get another call up to the Hammers, where he was met by some familiar faces. “It’s nice to come back and see a few familiar faces in the side that were running around last time I was here, but are now the elder statesmen. “I went to school with Jimmy Carr, while Jon Dampney was just a young fella like me and now he’s captaining the side. “The culture is really good and they have that hunger to win. No one is happy with mediocre performances. “I can notice the real shift in attitude from where we were 10 years ago.” Lucky enough to be getting a second Ranfurly Shield challenge – and the only player in the squad to have played for it for Mid Canterbury before Sharpe is using his previous experience to help the others prepare. “I was young and the day come and went quickly. “It’s more about enjoying the whole experience, but putting everything into it as you might only get the one chance.” “It’s been over 10 years since the last one, so they don’t come around that often. “It could be some guys’ only chance to play for it.”

11: Canterbury 64 Mid Canterbury 19 1995 - Ashburton Showgrounds Canterbury were too big and too fast, highlighted by flying Fijian Paula Bale scoring four tries. Canterbury also had current Super 15 head coaches Todd Blackadder and Mark Hammett on the field. Mid Canterbury scored three tries in the challenge for the first time since 1938 when Dave McCrea, John Smitheram and Mark Wareing all scored tries. 12: Canterbury 78 Mid Canterbury 10 2002 - Ashburton Showgrounds The defending division one champions, featuring a fresh-faced Dan Carter as well as Mid Canterbury products Chris King and Andrew Morgan, were troubled by Mid Canterbury early on before they ran away with the game. The Hammers had their moment of joy when Andre Renata scored from a maul and John Ellis converted as well as landing a dropped goal. However, fullback Ben Blair, who was the star of the game, swerved and stepped his way to three tries in the closing 10 minutes as the score ballooned out to 78-10.

Andre Renata crashes over for Mid Canterbury’s try in 2002. Jon Sharpe is wearing the No. 16 jersey for the green and golds.

Rugby focus all on Pukekohe BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

There is no Mid Canterbury senior rugby today as Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury prepares for the Ranfurly Shield challenge, with an extended training session on tomorrow. However, the squad of 24 named by Glenn Moore on Thursday night involved three bracketed combinations of players, some of whom will have fitness tests today. Loan winger Willie McGoon will play for Southbridge against Burnham-Dunsandel and prop Matt Groom will turn out for

the Methven senior Bs against Collegiate, with Moore’s ‘spies’ on the side-lines to gauge where each is at before the final squad is confirmed tomorrow. Kody Nordqvist, who can cover loose forward and lock, had a run around with Mid Canterbury A on Wednesday (as did Groom) and is in a crowded loose forward mix. Captain Jon Dampney and Tevita Ula are incumbents sure to be retained, leaving Sam Houston, Mitch Sim and Seta Koroitamana fighting for the vacant openside flank, and all three could remain in the squad.

“We aren’t opposed to a 5-2 split on the bench,” Moore said. “As long as the two back reserves give us the capability of covering every position we could go with an extra forward for what is likely to be a physical game up front.” The 24 will be cut down to 22 at tomorrow’s training session. The team fly out to Auckland on Tuesday morning, and will have a light training at EcoLight Stadium in Pukekohe in the afternoon before playing the Ranfurly Shield challenge on Wednesday at 6pm.

Mid Canterbury squad: (Matt Grooms/Domenic Vesesio), Scott Vessey (Origin), Robert Kwon, Tukulua Tolu, James Carr, Jon Sharpe, Andrew Smith, Logan Bonnington, Kody Nordquist Tavita Ula, Sam Houston, Seta Koroitamana, Mitch Sim, Jon Dampney (c), Will Mackenzie, (Davie Maw/Cawte Whiting), Murray Williams (Loan), Peni Manumanuniliwa (Loan), Esera Lauina, (Dwayne Burrows (Loan)/ Willie McGoon (Loan)), Josh Nonu, Brenton Connell, Richard Catherwood, Josh Walker.

FACT BOX Jon Sharpe may be the only current player to have played a shield game for Mid Canterbury, but members of the coaching staff have also had shield experience. Coach Glenn Moore was at number eight and assistant coach Geoff Frew at fullback against an all star Auckland side in 1989 that featured no fewer than 14 All Blacks in the starting line-up. Frew also played in 1983 and 1985 shield challenges against Canterbury. Murray Williams has been a shield holder, and against Counties no less. The first-five had an outing for Auckland in 2004 where he kicked nine conversions in the 10015 Ranfurly Shield walloping of the Steelers. Willie McGoon, who is bracketed in the squad of 24, also has shield experience and is the only player in the squad to play as a shield holder while with Canterbury when they beat North Otago 52-8 in 2011.

Tana’s side ‘under no illusions’ BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Counties Manukau were surprisingly convincing winners over Thames Valley in their opening Ranfurly Shield challenge on Wednesday. Counties coach Tana Umaga named a side with 12 debutants, but the Steelers defied the wet conditions to lay on nine tries, plus a penalty try in a 68-0 win. After seeing off the Swamp Foxes, who finished eighth in the Heartland Championship last year, Umaga isn’t taking anything for granted as he prepares for the second challenge against the Meads Cup champion Mid Canterbury. “We are a bit worried I guess. You’re always worried about the

unknown,” Umaga said. “We have had to rely on what we have heard - that they had a good win over Ellesmere and did well against a Japanese selection earlier on. “They are building nicely and have been together for a while, so the message for us is not to take anything for granted. “Teams grow with the opportunity and we wouldn’t expect anything less from Mid Canterbury.” Thames Valley were expected to offer a tougher test of a green Steelers side, which they did for the opening exchanges before being overpowered and the floodgates opened. It was the result and the way in which they achieved it, not the score, that Umaga was concerned with.

“We won’t be getcess of watching club ting carried away with players before selecting the score line. It will be a squad that then comes about performance.

■ ARGENTINA V BELGIUM

In brief A very holy war? Pope Francis reportedly joked about the Argentina and Switzerland World Cup match with the Swiss Guard stationed at the Vatican. “It’s going to be war,” the pontiff told a guard at Santa Marta, the guesthouse that serves at his residence, according to French news agency I.media. I.media added the Swiss Guard invited the Pope to watch the game with them, but were told that “unfortunately” he could not spare the time. The Argentinian Pope is a known football fan and a cardcarrying member of Buenos Aires team San Lorenzo de Almagro. - DPA

Suarez appeal lodged Uruguay has lodged an appeal against the four-month football ban imposed on star striker Luis Suarez for his World Cup bite, a top FIFA official says. The Uruguay Football Association had until this coming Sunday to make an appeal against the sanctions ordered after Suarez bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. Claudio Sulser, head of FIFA’s disciplinary commission, confirmed to reporters that the appeal had been made but insisted he could make no other comment. Suarez was banned from all football activity for four months, suspended for nine internationals and fined 100,000 Swiss francs for his third offence of biting an opposition player. - AFP

Cup ticket scandal Football’s powerful governing body came under renewed scrutiny after a Brazilian police chief said yesterday a Fifa member provided thousands of World Cup tickets, sold illegally at games for millions of dollars. As Brazil geared up for the weekend quarterfinals, including the titanic Germany-France showdown, police commissioner Fabio Barucke said “someone from Fifa” and “an intermediary from Match Hospitality”, Fifa’s ticket agency, had channelled the tickets on to the black market. The Fifa figure, whom police are trying to identify, is believed to be staying at the Copacabana Palace, a luxury Rio de Janeiro hotel used by some Fifa hierarchy at the World Cup. Marcos Kac, the Rio investigating magistrate, said that at least 1000 tickets per game were involved in the scandal with a basic price of 1000 euros. The scandal is the latest to hit Fifa, already battling bribery allegations over Qatar’s successful campaign to host the 2022 World Cup. - AFP

Aguero resumes training By Jens Marx Argentina have received a boost ahead of the World Cup quarter-finals, with striker Sergio Aguero resuming training after missing their last-16 match with a thigh injury. The Manchester City forward did sprinting exercises on his own and then joined a scrimmage between a side of juniors who have travelled with

the squad and the Argentina reserves who did not play in Wednesday’s 1-0 extra-time win against Switzerland. The last-16 game starters did the usual post-game recovery work. Aguero suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh in Argentina’s final group match, a 3-2 win against Nigeria. Argentina, who face Belgium in a quarter-final match

in Brasilia tomorrow, cancelled a planned press conference with two players in solidarity with sports journalist Miguel Fernandez, known as Titi, whose daughter was killed in a traffic accident early on Wednesday near Belo Horizonte. The head of the Argentine delegation, Juan Carlos Crespi, said “the players, after the joy they gave Argentines, feel very

bad today because Titi is a very well-loved man within Argentine sport and even more so in the national team.” The 26-year-old daughter and two TV producers had been travelling back to Belo Horizonte in a rental car after watching Argentina beat Switzerland in Sao Paulo. The two producers were both injured in the accident. - DPA

‘Happy’ Blatter hails World Cup success Fifa president Sepp Blatter declared yesterday that the World Cup in Brazil was a success, saying fears of anti-tournament protests had not materialised. “I am a very happy man today,” Blatter said at a sport management seminar in Rio de Janeiro.

“It is a success of the country, of this game,” he said. The World Cup has escaped the massive protests that marred last year’s warm-up tournament, the Confederations Cup, when hundreds of thousands of people swarmed the streets to de-

nounce the record $US11 billion spent on hosting the event. The protests have been much smaller during the World Cup itself, drawing a few hundred demonstrators still angry that the country spent so much on stadiums in-

stead of hospitals, schools and public transport. “I would like to address my compliments to the people of Brazil. “They accepted this World Cup,” Blatter said. - AFP

■ BRAZIL V COLOMBIA

In brief

‘One hand on the Cup’ By Peter Jenson Coach Felipe Scolari has told his critics to “go to hell,” and insisted that “Brazil still have one hand on the World Cup.” Scolari has defended his decision to sit down with a small group of journalists after the narrow win over Chile, and his use of a psychologist to help his nervy players. “Brazil still has its hand on the cup. “There are seven steps and now we are going onto the fifth step,” Scolari said. He also said his team would struggle less against Colombia in the quarter final this morning in Fortaleza. “Chile have real strength and spirit as a group but Colombia have better players,” said the 65-year-old coach.

“They are a better team but they don’t go to war. “Our wars are with Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. “The matches against Colombia are happy, friendly matches. “It’s difficult against Colombia but there is no war.” Scolari did go to war with the local press after being criticised by reporters for selective briefing of journalists after the win against Chile. “Jealousy among Men? Please! “Men should not be jealous. These are my friends. “If you don’t mind me talking to them then OK and if you don’t like it then you can go to hell,” he said. “I have always spoken to my friends about football. “And the conversation was

Brazil coach Felipe Scolari

not about who plays or does not play.” Scolari will hope his feisty performance inspires his players to something similar on Friday in the Estadio Castelao. “Five of the last 16 games went to extra time and that

shows how close it is now. “You no longer have the certainty that team A will go through easily. “Argentina beat Iran 1-0 and when did the goal come? It came right at the end. These teams practice playing in 50 metres of the pitch and it’s hard to play against that.” Scolari said there had been huge over-reaction to the way players cried after the dramatic victory against Chile and defended his use of psychologist Regina Brandao to help them cope with the pressure. “It was reported that we had an emergency session with a psychologist. “What rubbish. Our work with the psychologist is preplanned and she will be back with us on Sunday.” - DPA

Lip-reader at the ready Germany coach Joachim Loew needs to watch his language, with a deaf German lip-reader ready to decipher his every curse from the dug-out. Julia Probst, a 32-year-old deaf blogger and activist for the handicapped, rose to fame during the 2012 European Championship by lip-reading the sideline directives and occasional expletives of coaches and players. The normally mild-mannered Loew has been Probst’s favourite target and his exasperated dug-out directives often find their way to her Twitter account. “This is so shit!” Loew shouted during the Germans’ 1-0 group stage win over the US. - AFP

Emotion a positive Brazil captain Thiago Silva insists the World Cup hosts are mentally tough enough to cope with the pressure after criticism of the squad’s tears during the last 16 win over Chile. “I think we are good psychologically. We are doing what we love to do,” he said yesterday. “There was a lot of pressure to win that match so we know we had to give all we had, but when you do things with a lot of will and desire there is no way to not be emotional.” - AFP

Tough line on Vincent Lou Vincent was first the victim of greed and his own stupidity. Now he might be the victim of cricket’s Machiavellian politics. Vincent was this week given 11 life bans by the England and Wales Cricket Board, ending any hope he has of associating with the game that made him famous. The Herald understands the ICC anti-corruption unit was happy to give Vincent a “discount” on a sanction, but this was ignored by the ECB. One explanation offered from a man familiar with the inner workings of the case was that the ECB’s anti-corruption officers were angry that Vincent was far more forthcoming to the ICC’s officers than he was to - NZH them.

More fights for Parker Joseph Parker’s heavyweight credentials will be tested to the fullest against experienced American Brian Minto tonight. It will be the continuation of the 22-year-old’s education in this cut-throat business, one that will increase in terms of its tempo and difficulty over the next year as he seeks a world title fight. Parker’s next bout is likely to be in America next month, possibly in Pennsylvania, New York or Atlantic City, as his handlers Duco get set to raise his profile Stateside. “We’re going to put the foot to the floor,” Duco Events’ David Higgins said. - APNZ

Mercedes in front Red Bull Racing’s championship-chasing duo are confident they can find improvement in their cars to challenge in the V8 Supercars round in Townsville. Ahead of today’s two 125km races, Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes both had reasons to be unhappy with their tropical practice day. Whincup recovered to be fourth fastest late in the day while Lowndes stayed outside the top 10 in all three Friday sessions. Stealing the limelight was Erebus Mercedes, recording their first 1-2 result in V8 Supercars unfortunately one day before points were on offer. - AAP

A true master class By Thomas heaTon It really was a master class for Ashburton’s martial arts enthusiasts this week. Wing Chun Grand Master and current World Organisation of Martial Arts (WOMA) President David Barr has crossed the ditch and is briefly visiting Ashburton. Mr Barr’s expertise lie in the rapid and reactive Wing Chun, made popular by Bruce Lee movies.

But as president of WOMA, Mr Barr wants to encourage a homogenous relationship between the different schools. “We want to bring everyone together in the world of martial arts,” Mr Barr. The grand master held a combined class for three of Ashburton’s different martial arts schools. He said was impressed by Ashburton’s martial arts students and noted “some great talent”.

The students learned some Wing Chun from the grand master as well as experiencing the Filipino martial art Eskrima, using wooden sticks. Local Tae Kwon Do teacher Paul Breakwell was pleased Ashburton’s students got the chance to meet the grand master. “It’s not very often we get such a high profile martial artist in Ashburton, let alone in New Zealand,” Mr Breakwell said. Mr Barr, originally from the

UK, came to Christchurch at just seven years old and initially took up boxing. He has been doing martial arts for 44 years now, he took up Wing Chun when he first moved to Australia 20 years ago. Unfortunately his martial arts expertise has not helped him fight the Ashburton cold, as he has been rugged up in bed with the flu for the past few days though. “I’ve forgotten how cold it gets here.”

Free to air television networks are holding urgent talks with Hollywood studios after revelations a New Zealand internet service is offering easy internet access to shows they have paid for. Both TVNZ and TV3 have acknowledged concerns about the service from Slingshot which

will allow access to internet services such as Netflix - which makes popular programmes like House of Cards - and Hulu in the US and to the BBC’s iPlayer. MediaWorks head of television Paul Maher said that New Zealanders accessing US servers without paying NZ rights potentially had significant issues for traditional TV networks which have paid dearly for rights.

While it had been accepted that some people accessed US services like Netflix, the Slingshot service appeared to be more open, Maher said. TVNZ was more cautious, saying that the Slingshot service was an interesting development, and it would be speaking to its Hollywood studio partners in the near future. - NZH

■ OPINION

Investment process explained

any new investors find it a mystery as to “who does what” in the investment world. When buying or selling shares or bonds an investor needs a sharebroker to undertake transactions. A range of sharebroking services are available, but at Forsyth Barr we aim to provide service at the professional advisory end of the market. That means we offer comprehensive research and an authorised financial adviser with whom to discuss all transactions. Transactions are then recorded at one of several registries (such as Computershare or Link Registry), who are contracted by listed companies to maintain a register of shareholders and ensure dividends are correctly allocated.

Ian Lennie and Selwyn Sloan MONEY MATTERS

Increasingly, investors are preferring to use the services of a custodian who can report on all the securities an investor holds. Custodians are normally bare trustees who cannot engage in commercial activities, but simply act as a mechanism for holding investors’ securities. This enables professional advisors to see all client investments and either manage them directly, or make ongoing recommendations on which the client makes the final decision.

An advantage of this system is that a Forsyth Barr client can hold a well-diversified portfolio of direct securities and thereby have total transparency about their holdings, while not being inundated with paperwork. For retired clients who require monthly drawings, we are also able to manage their cash requirements to ensure their income needs are met. A diversified, well researched, personalised investment plan can help investors reach their realistic goals. Ian Lennie and Selwyn Sloan are Authorised Financial Advisers with Forsyth Barr in Ashburton. This column is general in nature and should not be regarded as personalised investment advice.

Vista chief Murray Holdaway says the Auckland-based cinema software developer has grown its market share aggressively. Cinema software developer Vista Group’s sharemarket float will set the company up for its next phase of growth, says chief executive Murray Holdaway. The Auckland-based firm yesterday became the latest New Zealand firm to announce an initial public offering (IPO), saying it expects to raise $40 million in new capital when it lists on the NZX main board and ASX on August 11. Vista provides management software used by cinema operators for online ticket booking, food and beverage sales and staff rostering. It generates revenue from licensing of software products,

maintenance and subscription fees, implementation of technology and other services. Vista, founded in 1996, said up to 19 million new shares would be issued in the IPO, while 22.4 million existing shares would be sold, taking the total offer to between $86.9 million and $100.3 million. Existing shareholders, who include Holdaway and executive director Brian Cadzow, will retain a 45 to 49 per cent shareholding following the listing. The company said shares in the IPO would be priced in the range of $2.10 to $2.70, giving an indicative post-float market capitalisation of $172.6 million to $208.4 million. Final pricing will be announced on July 16, with the offer to open a day later and run until August 1. The company said the proceeds of the float would be used to repay debt associated with

OUR VIEW

A road to be wary of Stu Oldham

EDITOR

s they have been since the evening the accident happened, a family will today be at the bedside of a girl who was seriously hurt on Ashburton’s West Street. She was struck by a truck as she crossed the road near KFC on Wednesday night. She was flown to Christchurch Hospital with a fractured pelvis and femur. Witnesses spoke of a brave girl who was conscious and remarkably calm as motorists and then emergency services gathered to help her. It’s hard to comprehend now, but those who saw what happened said the immeasurable odds of survival meant she was very lucky girl. She almost certainly is lucky, but luck is not something on which our community wants to rely when it comes to safety on such an imposing road. Ashburton is bisected by a state highway. On one side, there’s a bustling business district and on the other, the odd fast food outlet and big-box shopping. The roads that run from East Street on to West Street are often busiest at the end of the working day, just as West Street’s traffic intensifies. This contributes to the volume of traffic on West Street. At dusk, this makes for roadscapes of irregular heights, a stream of bright lights and potentially deceptive speeds. This does not necessarily make dangerous the roads through the centre of town, but it contributes to the challenge of staying safe. After this week’s accident, there have been calls for NZTA to look again at how it manages pedestrian movements right along the road. Some suggest that wellmarked pedestrian crossings are needed in places other than across the major intersections. That might mean more traffic lights on a road where traffic needs to keep moving. Equally, it might mean using barriers to make it harder to cross at all. This discussion is natural and not altogether linked to what happened on Wednesday night. But it is clear that, as a community, we need to keep our eye on this road.

he hospital has always been important to the general wellbeing of the Ashburton District. During the 1990s there was a serious threat to the future of our hospital and at that time our community fought to retain it. Many of you will have by stood shoulder to shoulder around the building with linked arms showing our fierce determination to save the hospital – and we did! More recently the effects of the Canterbury earthquakes have put the future of our hospital back into the spotlight. The Canterbury District Health Board is faced with $518 million* worth of damage to over 200 buildings and over 14,000 out of 16,000 rooms across the health system to repair. Our hospital had earthquake damage too and an out-of-date operating theatre. The CDHB simply did not have enough capital to meet all the demands of Christchurch, let alone a district like Ashburton. There was a real risk our hospital would lose services and the skills associated with an operating theatre. But if the Ashburton Com-

We were able to bring together the strength of the Mackenzie Charitable Foundation, Lochhead Charitable Trust, the Trevor Wilson Trust, Ashburton Trust and the Lion Foundation to collectively

commit $1,500,000 towards the cost of deconstruction of the dangerous buildings, repairing and strengthening the remaining ones and building a new operating theatre/acute admissions unit. Garth Bateup, Ashburton Hospital general manager, David Meates, CDHB chief executive, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay and MP Jo Goodhew all worked hard to protect our hospital and all that it means to us. “We have appreciated the positive input from Advance Ashburton,” Mr Bateup said. “Without them and the other supporting trusts, the outlook

for health services in Ashburton would have been difficult.” This overall project, which now includes not only a new theatre and procedure room, and an extension to the current Acute Admitting Unit, but also earthquake strengthening and refurbishment of wards, is budgeted to cost $8,700,000. It will secure for Ashburton District continued viable health services into the future. *CDHB CEO Update 17 April 2014 Trevor Croy is chairman of the Advance Ashburton Community Foundation

Religion in schools not about converting youth

he Guardian recently reported that a small group of people are actively campaigning for the abolition of the so-called Bible in schools sessions that the boards of trustees of many primary schools in New Zealand allow to take place. During these half hour periods, to allow children whose parents prefer that they not hear what is found in the world’s bestseller, the school is technically closed, so those children can absent themselves from the classroom should they desire. And that is only right, of course, since it is reasonable that parents decide what their children should learn about. The people who volunteer to take these sessions do so, not out of a desire to proselytise or

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

try to convert young minds to believe in the Christian faith, but to help the students to have an understanding of what the Christian religion is on about. Given that there are about three billion Christians in the world, it seems reasonable to find out something of what they believe and teach, and especially what it is that attracts them to this faith and to the way of life it invites its followers and adherents to embrace. The history of humanity has been marked indelibly by the evils that men have done when

driven by atheistic ideologies. The immeasurable human sufferings caused by the beliefs and actions of chairman Mao, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Pol Pot, to name just a few recent examples, need to be compared with the good done and inspired by people of religious faith such as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi or Pope John Paul, among countless others less well known. All the great religions that have inspired and still motivate billions to strive to lead morally good or virtuous lives based on a vision of the human person that transcends a simply materialistic philosophy of life contribute immensely to human well-being and social harmony. The great moral mandate “do unto oth-

ers as you would have them do unto you” is central to all the ethical teachings of all the great religions. Belief in a Supreme Being, albeit in a variety of forms, as the source of life and arbiter of human behaviour has also followed human history and will undoubtedly do so into the future. To give young people the opportunity to discover a moral and ethical base for a life of meaning and purpose; to discover a personal faith that can give love, joy and hope; this in my view should be at the very heart of any educational endeavour.

Wow is it seriously school holidays again? Doesn’t it feel like they were only a couple of weeks ago? The true value of a school teacher is appreciated during the school holidays, when it’s the parents turn to make sure their children are well entertained and educated while the teachers get a well deserved break. But that sometimes is easier said than done! Getting your children motivated in the morning to do anything other than play video games or watch television can be a bit of a mission, however mother of four children under 12 years of age Michelle Ranson, believes the answer can be as simple as a little bit of pre-planning and initiate a chart system. “I’m a bit of a chart lover, and every school holidays I pop a bright bit of paper on the fridge with a daily planner, so my children know what is expected of them each day. That way the normal running of the household resumes, the children still remain in a structured routine and it makes it much easier when they go back to school because they haven’t fallen into a lazy schedule,” Michelle said. Michelle’s daily schedule looks a little like this. 7:30am – wake up as per normal, make your bed and get dressed. 8:00am – Breakfast – this can be a little fun by adding in pancake or French Toast days, or use the time to teach your children who are old enough to learn how to cook, how to make a nutritious breakfast such as an omelette. They will thank you later when they are the only ones at University who know how to cook a decent meal.

uled family fun time, the chance to appreciate the time spent with your children, and where their memories are created. This can be varied from rainy day activities such as art and craft or a treasure hunt, or on a nice day you may take the dog to the lake, go to the pool swimming, teach the kids how to ﬁsh or even show them how to pitch a tent in the back yard. Maybe these holidays you have something bigger planned like building a playhouse or a playground for them. This time could be used for construction time with the kids helping. 3:00 – 4:30pm – Free time for kids and mum and dad! This is where they can watch television or play computer games, and normally there

9:00 – 10:00am - Brush your teeth and quickly do some chores…could be washing up the breakfast dishes, putting some laundry on or hanging it out…or whatever the day calls for. 10:00 – 3:00pm - Holiday activities! This is sched-

are less arguments than if they had spent all day doing this because they appreciate the spare time more, and are worn out from an already busy day. 4:30 - 6:00pm – Kids bring the washing in and help with the preparation of dinner. Try to encourage some family conversation at dinner time, with no television or other distractions. 6:30 – 8:30pm – The children have a bit more free time after dinner, before washing up the dishes, having a shower, brushing their teeth and in bed by 8:30pm or 9:00pm. On the occasional evening a family movie with popcorn is fun, and the kids feel like it’s a treat to stay up a little later with mum and dad. The next morning they can have a bit of a sleep-in too. As with any enforcement, reward for good behaviour and punishment for bad behaviour is important. You could use something as simple

as star stickers on the chart, and for every day of good behaviour is a gold star. might be a new toy to play with, a trip to the movies or even a chore-free day. A With an accumulation of five stars the children get a special reward, which reward doesn’t have to be expensive. Prior planning before the start of the holidays will ensure that the children have many fun-filled adventures. Plan a selection of rainy weather activities as well as sunny day ones, for variety and to avoid the boredom which can lead to cranky children. Keep an eye out for a range of fun activities happening locally, and get creative. A pizza in the park day is a great way to treat the children, and can be inexpensive if planned properly. Pack a Frisbee, a rugby ball and some bread to feed the ducks and you have a full day of fun at little expense. It’s amazing what you can find for free if you look hard enough. But most importantly, it’s the time that you spend with your children that will build their fond memories for life, and that in itself is priceless.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) See any work/life balance tensions as a chance to get everything out in the open while you still have the support and resources to tweak things. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) It is by trusting your intuitive and imaginative responses that this gives you a chance to pick your battles wisely and to work smarter. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The Moon is giving your heart one of the clearest voices it’s going to get, but it’s up to you to make sure you’re listening. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Don’t be alarmed if a lot of the old pressures and tensions of recent months all seem to come back at once, with all of life’s demands putting pressure on you. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) As you reach an important few days on the communication front, having the communication lines open is essential. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The nose for money the Moon brings comes just as you’re ready to push things on both the income and career fronts. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Pressure on the auxiliary forces, those working behind the scenes will keep what can be accomplished now in motion for the long term. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) This is a valuable chance to recharge your batteries and hear yourself think, with life about to become much busier over the coming weeks. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) It is an intuitive read on people, situations and of timing that sets the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As you move into the home straight trust your professional instincts, keeping your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) This is a defining time on the work front, but you’ll miss opportunities by rushing things and risk burning out as you’re heading into the home straight. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Over the next few days your financial instincts, passions and fighting spirit will merge, making it easier to establish what you’re fighting for.
