Report critical of rest home’s care

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Marathon matches P28

An Ashburton rest home has been told to assess its treatment practices after the death of a 96-year-old man.

The unnamed man died during a flu outbreak at Cameron Courts Rest Home and Village in 2012.

In a just-released report, deputy Health and Disability Commissioner Theo Baker recommended the rest home re-evaluate its medication administration policy and apologise to the man’s family.

She was concerned it did not have comprehensive documentation, nor adequate cover when its registered nurse was on leave.

It breached the code of Health and Disability Services Consumers Rights.

Cameron Courts owner Ashwin

Mani did not return calls yesterday but the report noted the rest home had apologised to the man’s family and reassessed its medication policy to adhere to Ministry of Health guidelines.

The report, released on Monday, said the man was diagnosed with the flu. He was treated but his condition and standard of care deteriorated when the clinical manager – the only registered nurse on staff – contracted the flu.

The nurse took sick leave the day after the man was assessed by his doctor and prescribed a seven-day course of antibiotics. The nurse did not return until the following week.

The man’s condition worsened and while he was not considered terminally ill, the operations manager contacted the weekend duty doctor and said the man was receiving “end of

life care” and was in pain.

The duty doctor advised liquid morphine – left over from another patient – be administered every four hours.

The man was given morphine multiple times over the weekend. This was not always documented clearly, Ms Baker noted in her report.

The duty doctor visited the patient twice over the weekend and on one occasion spoke to the man’s family who were concerned they had not been informed of the morphine dosages or his end of life care.

The man’s condition deteriorated and he died in the early hours of Monday morning.

The man’s daughters then sought an investigation.

Pop star Taylor Swift has responded to the last-ditch plea of a Sydney theatre company by granting them permission to Shake It Off. Belvoir Theatre appealed to the singer when they were denied the rights to use the song for their play Seventeen, due to open tonight. Theatre director Anne-Louise Sarks tweeted Swift. “I’m facing an artistic emergency I hope you can help with.” Just as the cast had the choreography down-pat, the theatre was told they couldn’t use the song. “Is there anything at all you can do?!!” pleaded Ms Sarks. One swift tweet later, the actors were dancing in celebration. “Permission granted. Good luck with your opening night,” Swift wrote back.

HitchBOT may live again The Canadian talking and tweeting hitchhiking robot that met its untimely end in the United States over the weekend might be given another chance at life. HitchBOT’s cocreators Frauke Zeller and David Smith said that they’ve been overwhelmed with support and offers to revive the robot since it was vandalised beyond repair and left on a street in Philadelphia on the weekend and they are considering rebuilding it. The robot was on a hitchhiking, adventure in the US after trekking across Canada and parts of Europe without incident last year. Strangers helped the immobile hitchBOT travel from place to place while checking items off its bucket list. The robot was designed to traverse continents on the kindness of strangers. It was equipped with a GPS tracker and a camera to chronicle its journey. The child-sized droid started its US journey on a road in Massachusetts on July 17. During its short-lived US trip, the hitchBOT attended a Red Sox game “ even donning a jersey over its cylindrical torso “ and took a ride on the New York City subway.

A German court says a municipal bus mechanic can have hundreds of euros in back pay for time spent changing into his work clothes — but not for time he spent showering. The state labour court in Duesseldorf said the man and the local transport authority in Oberhausen reached a settlement that will see him get 375 euros ($412) to cover the 10 minutes per day that he spent changing into and out of his uniform over a seven-month period last year. The plaintiff also had sought to be paid for a daily 10 minutes spent in the shower after work, But the court questioned whether that could be counted as time on the job and also wondered “whether 10 minutes is not too long for a shower.”

$42m Picasso seized A Picasso painting worth 25 million euros and considered a cultural treasure by Spanish authorities, who had barred it from being exported, has been seized from a boat docked at Corsica. An attempt to export the painting, Head of a Young Woman, to Switzerland last Thursday “drew the attention of French officials” with customs agents on the French island boarding the vessel the following day. The ship’s captain could only present two documents regarding the work of art, the customs statement said - one of which was a May 2015 Spanish court judgement labelling the painting a work of art and ordering that it not be taken out of the country. The painting, which French customs said was valued at “more than 25 million euros”, is owned

by Jaime Botin, a Spanish banker whose family was involved in the Santander banking group. The 79-year-old, who was formerly the banking giant’s vice chairman, was not aboard the vessel, which was owned by the company and flying a British flag, a customs spokesman said.

Miley Cyrus poses topless Miley Cyrus has posed topless for a magazine photoshoot with her rumoured model girlfriend New Zealander Stella Maxwell. The Wrecking Ball hitmaker revealed images from her upcoming W magazine spread on Instagram. One of the snaps has sparked further speculation she is dating the 24-year-old Victoria’s Secret angel. In the risque black-and-white photo, Cyrus is topless with just a photoshopped red star covering her nipple, as Maxwell is seen holding the pop star close while feeding her a piece of cake with her hands.

Cyrus also wrote the caption, “This is how we party”. In other shots, Cyrus dons a black sequined bikini and body glitter as she lays on a carpet and caresses herself.

The photoshoot reportedly took place at a “secret party” in Los Angeles last weekend, and also includes models Joan Smalls and Emily Ratajkowski, who bared all for Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines video.

■ BULLYING

Gap between perception, reality

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

There is a huge gap between the public’s perception of bullying and the real extent of the problem, according to an Ashburton principal.

Research released by Auckland University’s Adolescent Health Research Group shows the number of young people being bullied has been decreasing since 2001.

Over 25,000 secondary students, including students at Ashburton College, participated in the study over a number of years.

It found that 6.9 per cent of boys experienced weekly bullying in 2012, down from 9.2 per cent in 2001.

The number of girls experiencing the same issues rose slightly over the same period, from 5.2 per cent to 5.7 per cent.

The statistics are completely counter to the public’s perception of bullying, according to Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan.

“I think it’s one of those ones where the perceptions get ahead of the facts,” he said.

“The national stats show what

we’ve been seeing here at the college.”

Ashburton College came under fire earlier in the year following allegations of a serious bullying problem at the school.

That prompted Mr McMillan to issue an apology to those affected by bullying at the college in the past, although he was confident that it was no longer a significant issue.

“It is reaffirming to know that we weren’t losing the plot, we weren’t off the mark,” he said, referring to the decrease in bullying.

However he believed the com-

munity’s perception reflected its concern about the problem.

“People are more concerned about this, and on that basis the community’s awareness has heightened, and that’s also a good thing,” he said.

“I think the challenge is that sometimes bullying will look like the easy answer to difficult questions, like ‘why is my son or daughter behaving this way’,” he said.

While cyberbullying is often cited as a growing issue amongst Kiwi teens, the research shows the number of students receiving nasty or threatening mes-

sages by mobile phone has also steadily decreased.

In 2007, 17.8 per cent of girls and 10.1 per cent of boys surveyed were bullied through mobile phones.

That dropped to 14.4 per cent and 9.2 per cent respectively in 2012.

However more students are receiving nasty or threatening messages on the internet.

The number of girls being bullied online more than doubled in five years, while the number of boys facing the same harassment rose from four per cent to seven per cent.

■ CAMERON COURTS

Commissioner’s report critical of rest home’s care From P1 Ms Baker said her main concern was that there appeared to be inadequate communication and assumptions made by staff involved in the man’s care.

“Failures at [the rest home] led to discussions being made about his care and treatment without him being clinically assessed appropriately and in the absence of discussions with him,” she said.

While Mr Mani did not return calls yesterday, he told The Press the registered nurse has since retired and the operations manager is also no longer at the home.

No staff were censured in relation to the man’s death and the facility now had 24-7 cover by registered nurses, he said.

■ EARTHQUAKE REPAIRS

Cass St building soon to be empty

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

A prominent Ashburton building will soon be all-but empty after its landlords terminated leases to make way for earthquake repairs and refurbishments.

Affected businesses contacted this week said they would not return to the Woodham Trust Building because they were not prepared to pay a significant rent hike.

Tenants in the Cass Street building were notified by a let-

ter on behalf of landlords T.S. Holdings on June 29 that their leases were being terminated.

Earthquake repairs would start on October 1 and tenants had to leave by September 30.

T.S. Holdings director Aaron Edmond declined to comment citing client confidentiality.

He referred queries to fellow director Ross Gibson, who did not return requests for comment by deadline yesterday.

The building houses businesses including United Video, which has been there for 30 years, and

The Gym Company, which has decided to close for good. Gym co-owner Frank Connolly said the termination hastened his decision to close but restated his belief that, competition from the EA Networks Centre made the move inevitable.

“The building has probably just prompted me to act a bit quicker.”

United Video Ashburton owner Kevin Stewart said tenants were told that their leases were being changed to a monthby-month arrangement about

a year ago. Tenants were told the building needed earthquake repairs and it made sense to refurbish at the same time. Tenants were told to leave while the work was being carried out, he said.

Subsequent inquiries about moving back into the premises revealed the rent would increase “substantially”. There had been very little consultation with tenants about the move: “We’re certainly not very impressed,” he said. United Video will move to its new premises near the en-

trance to Briscoes at the end of the month.

Mid Canterbury Playcentre Association president Sonya Spencer said the association had yet to find a new home but she was confident it would be set up in a new premises by the end of September.

The playcentre organisation across the country was in a restructuring period so future organisations may not operate the same way they did now, she said.

“So for us it’s probably a good opportunity to tidy up,” she said.

■ PASCH SCHOLARSHIP

Ashburton College teacher back from Germany

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

He may have just returned from a whirlwind trip to Germany, but Ashburton College teacher Ken Pow is already preparing for another international jaunt.

Mr Pow spent three weeks in Germany on an intensive language course after being awarded a Pasch Scholarship.

The trip saw Mr Pow and 14 other teachers from around the world learning more about both the language and culture of the country.

“The course was certainly a chance to brush up on my own language skills, that was probably the biggest benefit,” he said.

He didn’t return to the college empty handed, bringing a range of new teaching resources with him.

He also had the opportunity to visit Ashburton Col-

lege’s sister school, Pascal High School, and meet with students who will be coming to the college on an exchange later in the year.

Despite having only just returned from the trip, he’s already preparing to board another flight tomorrow.

Mr Pow will chaperone six New Zealand students, two of whom hail from Ashburton College, on a German language camp in Bangkok.

It’s the first time New Zealand students had been invited to attend the camp, he said.

“We haven’t been before, so it’s a bit of fact finding as well,” he said.

■ WEATHER

El Nino conditions to continue

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Snow showers and cold temperatures are forecast for this weekend, in the latest aberration of El Nino conditions plaguing New Zealand.

El Nino is set to rear its ugly head this coming summer as well, increasing the likelihood of dry conditions.

MetService meteorologist Emma Blades said yesterday the northwesterly flow dominating the weather this week would change to a southerly flow, with cold air from the Antarctic, on Saturday.

It would bring snow showers, possibly lowering to 300 metres. On Sunday sleety showers were expected in Ashburton and there could be snow down to low levels.

How low was unknown at this stage, and it would be a matter of keeping an eye on the forecast.

However, evaluation across a range of long-range weather models was not showing that it

would be a heavy snow event.

Meanwhile, El Nino conditions are set to continue over the next three months and into summer.

Niwa has reported that El Nino conditions strengthened during July, and they were virtually certain to continue through to October, and extremely likely to persist into the summer of 2015 and 2016.

Sea surface temperature anomalies had increased in the eastern and central Equatorial Pacific, consistent with the signature of a typical El Nino event.

Forecaster Chris Brandolino said yesterday, this meant there would be an increased chance of dryness in the eastern South Island over summer.

El Nino also increased

High pollution days so far this year

chances of cold outbreaks in winter.

“That’s El Nino’s way of saying ‘I’m here’,” Mr Brandolino said.

The weather pattern generally caused more frequent and intense southerlies in winter, which turned to more frequent or intense westerlies in summer.

The increased risk for dryness could lead to an early start for the irrigation season, he said.

While Mid Canterbury suffered a drought last summer, MetService figures show the district has almost caught up with its rainfall.

As of yesterday, 358.2 millimetres have been received at the Ashburton Airport, compared to a long-term average of 407 millimetres.

Meanwhile, northwest conditions over the last two days saw strong gusts in the upper areas of Mid Canterbury.

Mt Hutt Ski Area was closed yesterday and Monday.

Winz hearing set The Worksafe NZ case against the Ministry of Social Development over the Ashburton Winz shootings looks set to be heard next year. The hearing in the Wellington District Court has been set aside until December, when a two week hearing date is due to be set, it was confirmed yesterday.

Worksafe NZ has charged the ministry with failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of its employees while at work, after the shooting on September 1 last year. The ministry has pleaded not guilty.

Victim identified Police have identified the 87-yearold man whose death is the subject of a murder investigation.

Harold Richardson was found dead in his Upper Riccarton home on Sunday. A post-mortem has been completed and the next of kin have been advised, Detective Inspector Tony Hill said. There are currently 18 police involved in the investigation. “Police and forensic experts are completing an examination of Mr Richardson’s address, and will likely be there for several more days. “Examination of another address of interest to the inquiry has been completed.”

A teenager was charged with the murder of the man on Sunday after his body was found with unexplained injuries.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

In brief

Local artist thrilled

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When artist Robin Arnst embarks upon creating a new work, it is like beginning a journey.

The Ashburton painter talked about her works at her exhibition Spirit of Discovery, currently under way at the Ashburton Art Gallery, yesterday.

“Develop your own feeling for colour into a source of expression, let your colours do the work for you, let them speak,” she told the approximate 14 interested members of the public attending.

Some of abstract works, which were paintings and paper works, were of the beginnings of time, and titles included: The Beginning of Life, Evolution and Atmospheric Forces.

Mrs Arnst said she had been thrilled at the opening of the exhibition on Saturday, when about 150 attended her’s and another two exhibitions opening at the same time, and family and friends brought her flowers. The 74-year-old is a well known long-time artist in Ashburton, and has taught children and teenagers at her town centre Robin’s Art School for the past 10 years.

Meanwhile, many visitors to the gallery have been embarking upon their own discovery, in enjoying the relatively new

A man with a court date in Ashburton this week wrote to the judge professing to be in jail in California. Matthew Robert Gilchrist, 31, of Methven, was set down to appear before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court on Monday to face his third count of drink driving. He failed to show up, however he had taken time to write an apology to Judge Maze, and advised her he was incarcerated in a Californian county jail. Gilchrist said he had been told he would be detained from one to five years – because he was a foreigner. Judge Maze queried how he left the country with the court case pending.

Police prosecutor sergeant Mike Wingfield asked for an arrest warrant to be issued. “If he is out of the country it will show up when he returns,” Mr Wingfield said.

Judge Maze agreed and Gilchrist now has a warrant waiting for him when he shows up.

facility. The gallery has had a mammoth 7021 visits since it opened on May 23.

The Ashburton Museum, situated in the same new building, also has high attendance numbers to date, with 1976 visitors last month, exceeding expectations. The figure is up from 1232 in June and 1536 in May.

SELFIE STICKS BANNED IN PLACES If you are planning on getting a few selfies at exhibitions underway at the Ashburton Art Gallery, it may be best to leave your selfie stick at the door.

Communications officer Nicole Bourke said as yet the gallery had not had anyone try to use one on the premises.

However, staff would appreciate it if those considering using them, asked first.

They could be allowed, however, gallery staff would be mindful of the sticks coming with a risk of scraping up against art works. Additionally, people with them could prove to be an annoyance for fellow visitors, standing in front of art works.

Internationally, selfie sticks have caused such issues and many facilities such as galleries and museums have banned them.

A police officer accused of beating up his partner has now been charged with conspiring with the woman to make false statements.

In April, Constable Lomitusi Lomi, 25, was charged with injuring with intent to injure, which carries a maximum of five years’ imprisonment.

Inspector Jacqui Whittaker previously told NZME News Service the officer was immediately stood down from duties and was the subject of an internal police investigation, which would be concluded once criminal proceedings were completed.

But Lomi could now be in more serious trouble.

According to court documents, the al-

leged incident took place on April 12 and the victim is understood to be the defendant’s partner.

Last week a further charge was laid of conspiring with the woman to defeat the course of justice by making false statements.

That offence, which allegedly happened on the same day as the attack, could result in a prison term of up to seven years.

At a hearing in May, Lomi’s lawyer Richard Earwaker – who has since been made a judge – entered a not guilty plea on behalf of his client and elected trial by jury.

The police officer is due to appear before the court again on both charges next month.

■ KIDNAPPING

Grave concerns for teenager Alarming messages pleading for help are the last thing the family of missing 15-year-old LA Tukerangi heard from her.

LA urgently messaged her family on Saturday morning, saying she was being held against her will by 36-year-old career criminal Dean Wayne Whakatau, who has almost 50 prior convictions and has previously been charged with kidnapping and rape.

Police said they had “grave concerns” for the Auckland teenager.

A series of panicked messages written by LA to her 18-year-old sister have been released to NZME News Service yesterday, in the family’s latest emotional plea for her return.

The messages – parts of which can not be published for legal reasons –say LA was taken to Rotorua by her boyfriend’s older brother, Whakatau.

The first message, sent in all-capitals at 10.58am, said: “Keysha iv been kidnapped call the cops im in Taupo please help me.”

Asked what the message meant, LA replied: “Garrys older brother hea like 30 something he stole me I’m in rotarua ... please help.”

She later said she was taken after a fight at her boyfriend’s Clendon home, adding: “Quick get help I cant text you when. Hes with me ... please help call them hea back please.”

When her sister asked LA for the address, LA replied: “I don’t no it bye love you keep safe I’ll steal the phone tomorrow in the morning bye sis miss you please get help rotarua :’( asap.”

LA also messaged her mother Marie Tukerangi on Facebook, saying: “Mum, I’ve been kidnapped. Help me please”.

That was the last the family had heard of her, Ms Tukerangi said.

The “heart-breaking” messages were the reason the family was frantically searching for LA, she said.

“From there on in, you just go into silent mode. You become numb,” Ms Tukerangi said.

“We just want her home and safe. We just want her home, we want to know that we’re going to see her again.”

EnLighten counts down the seconds until the green light, and chimes a warning so you’re ready to go as soon as the traffic

■ CONSULTANT AWARDS

In brief

Top ag consultants named Three winners have been named in the third annual Farmax Consultant of the Year Awards in Ashburton this week.

Sully Aslop took the Beef + Lamb NZ Sheep and Beef Consultant of the Year title, Phil Journeaux won the DairyNZ Dairy Consultant of the Year and Lycinda Lett, was named the NZIPIM Emerging Rural Professional of the Year.

Runner-up at this year’s Young Farmer Contest, Mr Alsop trained at Smedley Station and Massey University and has worked as a sheep and beef consultant and director for Baker & Associates in Masterton for the past nine years.

He also runs a 3000-unit sheep and beef farm with his wife.

Farmax general manager Gavin McEwen said Mr Alsop is a great example of the “new breed” of consultant.

Mr Journeaux joined AgFirst’s Waikato office in 2012, after 25 years with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

Farmax general manager Mr McEwen said that Mr Journeaux was not your typical consultant, “His ability to rationalise really stands out and that’s an attribute that the industry needs during good times, as well as tough times,” he said.

Mr Journeaux has been a

member of the New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society for 23 years and on the executive team for 10 years, most recently as treasurer.

Lycinda Lett started her career as a dairy advisor with the AgFirst Waikato team in early 2011 and has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science with second class honours from Lincoln University.

She recently completed a Kellogg Rural Leadership Scholarship, with her project investigating barriers and opportunities to improving dairy farm rosters in the Waikato.

“Lycinda’s nomination displayed expertise in a range of

areas, as well as plenty of good experience in larger scale, industry focused projects,” Mr McEwen said.

Ms Lett has a keen interest in on-farm environmental challenges and is also passionate about staff/labour management on dairy farms.

She is a farm systems specialist with vast experience using the Farmax farm systems model.

The Consultant of the Year Awards were initiated in 2013 to recognise the expertise and value agricultural consultants and rural professionals provide to the New Zealand pastoral farming industry.

■ ROCKNPOP SHOW

Rehearsals for RocknPop show under way Rehearsing for RocknPop Classics in Concert are (from left) Trena Watt, Hilary Boyce and Leallen Glendining.

The RocknPop show, held annually to raise funds for the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, will hit the event centre stage on August 14 and 15.

Forty-six adults ranging in age from teenagers to those in their mid 50s will perform a variety of popular rock and pop songs.

Choreographer/director Alice Sollis has joined with musical director Jo Castelow to bring the show, featuring solos and ensemble items, to stage.

Mrs Sollis said the cast included new recruits, as well as previous RocknPop performers, and stars from this year’s Variety Theatre of Ashburton production Grease, including protagonists Luke Glendining and Nikita Hyde.

It also included some behind-the-scenes members from Grease, who had not been able to perform on stage for that production as they were older.

“This is really nice to let the adults have a chance to shine on stage,” Mrs Sollis said.

Benefit fraudster handed more prison time latest crimes. He has pleaded guilty to two counts of making a false document and two counts of using a forged document.

“The defendant was a serving prisoner in Whanganui Prison,” Judge David Cameron said.

A person who tried fighting a kitchen fire was taken to hospital after suffering smoke inhalation on Monday night. The Fire Service said the blaze broke out in Alexandra Road in Richmond, Christchurch at about 7.10pm.

“The caller had come home and found the house full of smoke and a fire in the kitchen. When the brigade got there the occupants had suffered smoke inhalation as a result of their efforts to try and make entry into the house and put the fire out themselves,” said Andrew Norris, Fire Southern Communications shift manager.

Mr Norris said one person was taken to hospital after St John personnel treated them for smoke inhalation.

Dangerous driving A Queenstown shearer has been convicted on a charge of dangerous driving after travelling from Arrowtown to Cromwell at an average speed of 149km/h.

Jeremy Russell Lemin, 30, was also convicted of failing to stop for police when he appeared before Judge Christina Cook in the Queenstown District Court yesterday. Prosecuting Sergeant Chris Stringer said a patrol car attempted to stop Lemin after seeing him overtake another vehicle near the brow of a hill near Arrowtown on July 30. Police abandoned the pursuit because of the danger to pedestrians.

Lemin was finally stopped near the Highlands Motorsport Park near Cromwell after travelling the 40km distance in 16 minutes.

■ WHANGANUI DISTRICT COURT

New Zealand’s biggest benefit fraudster has been handed more prison time after forging letters for a parole hearing.

Wayne Patterson, who was caught using more than 100 identities to illegally claim $3.4 million in benefits, was jailed for eight years in 2007.

He received another nine months in prison in 2009 for attempting to escape lawful custody and escaping lawful custody.

Patterson appeared in the Whanganui District Court on Monday for sentencing on his

role. The Parole Board became “increasingly concerned” about the letters, particularly the one purporting to be from the council, Judge Cameron said. They made inquiries and discovered the letter was fake.

Carterton District Council chief executive Colin Wright told the Wairarapa Times-Age the letter was claiming to be from Paul Reynolds in the horticultural department.

However, there was no horticultural department, and nobody named Paul Reynolds working for the council.

Patterson said the letter “had to have come from the council because there was a letterhead on it”, Judge Cameron said.

Patterson has criminal convictions dating to between 1978 and 2009, most of which came from his benefit fraud offending in 2003-2006.

He used as many as 123 false identities to claim benefits and was making $54,000 a fortnight in benefits – mainly pensions he gained by disguising himself as an elderly man and fooling benefit staff across the country.

Farmers in the Far North have donated bales of silage to their Taranaki counterparts affected by recent floods and slips. A truckload of 41 bales left Kaikohe last week and farmers said while their donation might not mean much, they hoped the feed would help boost the morale of those hit by the natural disaster. The extreme flooding in June left the Whanganui, Taranaki, Manawatu and Rangitikei regions with a medium-scale adverse event, and a clean-up bill estimated to be more than $120 million. Landslips continue to block access on Taranaki and Whanganui farms, and some farmers have not seen their stock in weeks.

Daylight burglary The lawyer for a man who cycled away from a daylight burglary balancing a 42-inch TV under his arm has argued it was a “cry for help”. Bobby-Joe Kahle, 32, pleaded guilty in Masterton District Court to a charge of stealing the TV, after breaking into a Masterton home on June 25 near the middle of the day. Kahle also pleaded guilty to six theft charges – three of them dating back to January – and to breaching community work.

The TV burglary was something Kahle “was never going to get away with”, Barnes said. “It was a 42-inch television and he was riding away on his bike with it under his arm, in broad daylight”, Ms Barnes said. “It could very well have been a cry for help. - NZME

Superstorm threatens Japan

Super Typhoon Soudelor has developed into the world’s most powerful storm of the year.

packed in emergency shelters after Soudelor ripped roofs off houses and left residents without power, water and wastewater services.

“I’ve seen multiple primary power poles down; I’ve seen cars flipped over the road; I’ve seen lots of torn roofs,” John

Hirsh, executive director of the American Red Cross in Saipan, told Pacific Daily News.

Damage was “extensive” across the island and there had been significant damage to public infrastructure, he said.

Many roads were impassable in Saipan - the Northern Mari-

anas main island, the seat of government and hub of the local economy - while in the harbour at least three vessels were ripped from their moorings.

In Hagatna, on neighbouring Guam, the weather service warned boats to stay away from exposed reefs and beaches because of “hazardous surf ” and “life threatening” rip currents.

It said Soudelor would continue to intensify as it swept across open water for the next 24 hours before starting to weaken.

Tropical typhoons and cyclones typically form in the western Pacific between May and October with Pam the most destructive so far this year.

In addition to the fatalities in Vanuatu, about 75,000 people needed emergency shelter after their homes were destroyed and almost all food crops were wiped out.

Trump gambles on the business of politics

By Jennie Matthew In his own words, Donald Trump is the very definition of American success. So why jeopardise a billion-dollar business empire for a populist shot at the White House?

The flamboyant tycoon, reality TV star and the mogul instantly recognisable to millions by his complicated comb-over, sits atop a dazzling empire of real estate, hotels and golf courses.

He’s called Mexicans rapists, insulted rivals, hijacked the start of the Women’s British Open, and lost a string of highly publicised business deals as a result.

■ JAPAN

Super Typhoon Soudelor developed into the world’s most powerful storm of the year yesterday as it took aim at Japan, Taiwan and China after trashing the Northern Marianas.

The storm was roaring across the western Pacific Ocean packing wind gusts up to 354 kmh according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center which rated it a maximum category five.

It was stronger than Cyclone Pam, the previous strongest storm of 2015, which killed at least 15 people when it slammed into Vanuatu, also in the Pacific, five months ago.

No deaths have been attributed to Soudelor, but it left a trail of destruction across the Northern Marianas where acting governor Ralph Torres declared a “state of major disaster and significant emergency” after it struck late Sunday.

But doing business, experts believe, is what his improbable bid for the presidency is all about. He doesn’t want the White House - he wants leverage that could earn him a bigger fortune, they say.

“Donald Trump is in the business of polishing the Trump brand,” says Larry Chiagouris, professor of marketing at Pace University in New York.

“He knows he’s not going to be president.”

In an article headlined “Donald Trump’s brazen genius”, The Economist suggested the mogul had his eye on political leverage “worth a fortune” in the red-tape of real estate.

Donald Trump: Real motives?

If he can wield enough influence and gather enough steam, Chiagouris believes he could cut the mother of all deals if he can anoint the successful White House nominee.

Trump calls himself “a dealmaker without peer”.

But what exactly he might want in exchange, is anyone’s guess.

A huge tax break, building a casino or stopping someone else’s casino, wondered The Economist.

Chiagouris hazarded a guess that Cuba and acquiring a new holiday resort might be on the radar.

“Maybe Trump wants the Trump brand to dominate the Cuban landscape and it would be easier to do if the president of the United States was a supporter of the Trump brand,” he said.

Moves against migrants Britain’s government has promised new measures to crack down on illegal immigrants by making landlords evict them, as the Calais migrants crisis continued to dominate the headlines. Landlords in England who do not remove people with no right to remain in Britain, or do not check their immigration status before renting them a property, could be jailed for up to five years. The move, announced

by Communities Secretary Greg Clark yesterday, is set to be included in a new Immigration Bill that parliament will debate in the coming months.

OUR VIEW

Coal still a strategic asset Stu Oldham

EDITOR

S

olid Energy cannot be allowed to slide into liquidation – not while dirty-old coal can still set us up for a greener future and while vulnerable communities depend on it.

Prime Minister John Key says the beleaguered and deathly-indebted state-owned coal company is in a precarious position and no matter how you look at it, he is right.

It owes about $300 million to a raft of banks and the coal price too low to fix past mistakes.

Solid Energy’s board is considering liquidation, a sell-off or continued trading to counter debt that renders the company nearly incapable of weathering lowball contracts and low demand.

Mr Key is right to rule out a bailout but then again, Solid Energy fell to bits under his watch.

Year after year, it was allowed to over-estimate returns and spend-up on dead-end projects.

Most coal companies cut their cloth as prices tumbled. Solid Energy did not and it is now in the entirely avoidable position of having to consider selling to those that did.

A partial sell-off, in which the government retained a controlling interest in the company, would ensure New Zealand maintained a strategic interest in a still-viable energy source.

It should also ensure the coal mined above, say, my hometown of Westport continued to benefit fragile mining communities and the national economy for as long as it was viable.

And it will be viable. Highquality coal can still be part of a green future, albeit as a relatively short-term stop-gap to fuel the advances that will help make the transition happen.

Wind turbines, efficient energy infrastructure, eco-friendly buildings and green transport are built on steel and, despite great strides in alternative energy, steel is still made with coal.

The push to reduce emissions means coal has a shelf-life. New Zealand must consider Solid Energy’s mines as strategic assets for what some expect to be the final push.

YOUR VIEW Trade deal The Prime Minister now openly admits signing the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement will increase the price New Zealand pays for pharmaceuticals, but claims the TPPA will not cost consumers anything as the Government will increase its subsidies to Pharmac to keep the cost to people purchasing prescriptions the same as now.

Mr Key will probably then claim that increased expenditure as an increase in spending on health by ‘his’ Government.

The rhetoric about the unspecified advantages of signing the agreement bandied about by proponents of the TPPA now seems to be an ‘on balance’ argument: although all of us will now immediately relinquish more of our sovereignty, pay more for pharmaceuticals, and become subject to the dictates of United States based

CRUMB

multi-national corporations.

We hope tariffs and restrictions against New Zealand’s farm products might be reduced some time in the future so our farmers receive more for their produce, and we may all eventually be better off.

This is not a very fair trade off.

t this time each year Ashburton District Council managers and staff carry out performance reviews for the previous year’s work.

The mayor and councillors have recently signed-off on the council’s budget for the 2015/16 year. So as well as looking back over the past 12 months’ work, we agree what needs to be delivered by each staff member in the current year.

Staff training and development forms part of this planning. We want to have competent and capable people working for the council. Having staff take some time out to do training and development every so often is a fundamental part of that capability equation.

The amount of professional development or training any one person receives is influenced by quite a number of factors. Some positions require more training than others.

Some staff are very experienced in their roles and don’t require a lot of training.

However, generally speaking there are always changes or new things happening that require ‘old hands’ to undertake some learning every so often.

For others new in roles, quite a bit of upskilling can be needed.

We have to fit training in with busy work days, and consider whether we do courses inhouse, via the web or if we attend an external course. There is a limited budget, but we take our good employer responsibilities seriously and ensure our employees have access to some of the best professional development opportunities available.

Since I have been CEO we have offered workshops and training courses on a wide variety of topics.

Part of the good employer commitment is to get the council’s different managers to come together once or twice a year to do some training as a team.

In late 2013, we spent two days as a group doing a 4 Quadrant Leadership course,

■ SUPER TYRE GUY

Superhero in hot water

BY REGAN SCHOULTZ A locally owned tyre shop in Paeroa has been told by entertainment giant DC Comics to change its branding or risk being taken to court.

Owners of Super Tyre Guy, Marie and Gene Young, were surprised when they received a legal letter from Los Angelesbased DC Comics two weeks ago requesting that they “immediately and permanently stop using the Super Tyre Guy character”.

The issue arose after the couple decided to rebrand their business and incorporate a superhero into their branding.

The blue and orange superhero holding a tyre has now been pulled up for similarities to Superman in his outfit, colour and the five-sided diamond pictured on his chest.

The letter requested the couple immediately change their imagery and, in return, DC Comics would forgo any claims to costs or damages.

“Our client is concerned that you are infringing its intellectual property rights in its wellknown Superman character by using the Super Tyre Guy character, which is similar to our client’s Superman character,” the letter reads.

“Superman’s appearance is distinctive and iconic; among other things, he has a blue costume, red cape and an ‘S’ in a five-sided stylised shield on his chest.”

Gene Young said the couple had no intention of copying the Superman design when creating their new look.

Big rise in wool exports New Zealand wool exports jumped to their highest level in more than a decade in June, aided by a lower currency and strong demand from China, the nation’s largest market.

Wool exports rose 19 per cent to $75 million in June from the same month a year earlier and reaching the highest level for a June month since 1994, according to Statistics New Zealand data. Exports to China, which account for two-thirds of the total, jumped 34 per cent to $50 million. “The main driver of the increase in value is the weakened New Zealand dollar,” said Georgia Twomey, a commodity analyst at Rabobank.

Young said the couple had been surprised their branding had been noticed by DC Comics.

“I was surprised from the perspective that we are a small

rural business but also not surprised as we have a presence online and I understand that intellectual property is huge with any kind of branding.”

Law firm AJ Park partner Kim McLeod said intellectual property rights breaches occurred “quite often” in New Zealand.

“Sometimes it is intentional because they want customers to make the connection between what they are doing and these internationally well-known characters.

“And sometimes it is through ignorance but that doesn’t change the outcome at the end of the day,” he said.

The couple are among a raft of business owners who have been accused of breaching intellectual property laws in New Zealand in recent years.

ave you followed the correct processes to do so without risk?

Below are important things to note when considering employing or terminating on a 90 Day Trial 1. Mutual agreement: The 90 Day Trial Period is a voluntary arrangement which means that, in addition to other requirements, the employee has to freely agree with the employer for a trial period to be included in their employment agreement. It has to be set out in writing. You can also choose not to include a 90 Day Trial Period in Employment Agreements.

2. The Employment Agreement: - must have the correct wording.

- will not be valid if signed on the day the employee starts or thereafter. It must be signed BEFORE they commence working for you.

- it must be the Employment Agreement that is signed, not an offer letter referring to the Employment Agreement.

Christine Summerville

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

3. Good Faith Obligations: - Your duty of good faith still exists during a trial period. This includes an obligation to be communicative and responsive. As such, if you are experiencing concerns with the performance or behaviour of a new employee, ensure you are discussing these and are clear about your expectations. You must also communicate that their ongoing employment with you is in jeopardy.

4. Termination: - you must give notice of dismissal to the employee before the end of the trial period (even if that dismissal does not actually happen until after the date on which the trial period ended). If you wait until the trial period has ended before dismissing

the employee, the employee will be able to challenge the dismissal by bringing a Personal Grievance.

- a recent Employment Relations Authority case (which is being challenged in the Employment Court) also requires the notice period to be worked. You cannot pay in lieu of notice for a trial period termination. The notice period can extend beyond the 90 days, however the notice of termination must occur before the end of the 90 days.

5. Personal Grievance - An employee can raise a personal grievance on other grounds, such as discrimination or harassment or unjustified action by the employer.

Best in Japanese cuisine in Ashburton The reviews are in and already the Miyabi Japanese restaurant is receiving high praise from all that have dined in Ashburton’s beautifully presented and expertly styled newest restaurant.

For all who have experienced the delight of Japanese cuisine while overseas, Miyabi offers the very highest standard with many customers amazed at not only the expertly refined dishes on offer, but the delicacy of presentation.

Part of the new retail development near the roundabout North on East Street Miyabi Restaurant offers customers a stunning array of fresh inspirational and affordable dishes and gives you the chance to experience another culture without even leaving Ashburton!

Owners Ton and Patty Kittikote have a proven record of delicious food, having already run successfully the Charming Thai restaurant at the other end of East Street since 2004.

The hard working and friendly couple have made a huge impression on the

Mid Canterbury dining out establishment and are well known in the local community through school, sports groups and friends they have made through their eating ventures.

Having run a popular Thai restaurant previously, Ton understands what it takes to operate the very best in restaurants and he and Patty have sourced a highly qualified Japanese chef to oversee their newest operation.

They believe in only sourcing the freshest and best local ingredients possible and they, and their staff, love making your meal a special occasion.

Open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday from 11.30am to 2.00pm

and for dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 5.00pm to 9.00pm, Miyabi Japanese Restaurant can offer dining for large groups, businesses and all types of special events.

Miyabi is fully licensed, so kick back, and enjoy the fresh wonder of the divine fresh food on offer.

Food to die for In Japan, it’s often said that you can judge the quality of a restaurant by the quality of their dashi maki and at the Miyabi Japanese Restaurant this dish is outstanding.

Literally translate as “rolled egg” the dish takes an enormous amount of skill and experience to produce a good roll. At Miyabi there contains a magical suspension of liquid within the egg which makes each bite melt away into a pool of flavoursome soup. While the ingredients might sound simple enough, it’s the acrobatics required to roll something so delicate that makes it’s a challenge!

But if it’s fresh seafood you’re after than you won’t be disappointed. Sashimi – the most famous of all Japanese dishes, features prominently on the menu with salmon, tuna and yellowfish the stars of the meal!

Sushi Maki is always popular among all customers – make sure you try the stunning Ebi Tempura maki (prawn sushi) on offer. One plate simply won’t be enough!

For those of you not sure

about trying a colder dish, go for Miyabi’s famous range of tempura selections. Tempura is a type of light, crispy, pale Japanese batter and done right can be the most joyous moment of your meal. Used to coat seafoods and meats and then deep fried it creates a lightness on the palette without the taste of oil.

Whether it be prawns, pork, beef or chicken, Miyabi offers a tempura dish for all.

Okonomi Yaki is a mouthwatering Japanese style pizza with a number of yummy savoury ingredients combined together with pork, beef and seafood options.

The beautiful clean presentation of all Miyabi’s dishes belies the level of difficulty required to attain them. Japanese cuisine features subtle yet intelligent flavour combinations coupled with the freshest ingredients available.

As many people say, once you try Japanese cuisine, it’s very hard to have anything else and Miyabi restaurant is no exception.

Every stitch has purpose

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Works for the Ashburton Embroiderers’ Guild exhibition under way at the Ashburton Art Gallery have been two years in the making.

The guild’s president Margaret Clifford and secretary Beverley Watkins said having an exhibition every two years was often enough for members, as embroidery was one of those crafts which took a lot of time.

“We couldn’t do it every year,” Mrs Watkins said.

“You start at about eight o’clock, and at midnight you are still going, and you have only done this much,” said Mrs Clifford, referring to just a small part of an overall larger project.

The pair are among the guild’s more than 30 members who have their work displayed in the exhibition.

It ranges from bags and wallets to cushions and framed wall art. In some cases the embroiderers have designed their own work, and some have been created individually and others in workshops.

They are finding many of them popular with gallery visitors, some having even requested to buy them.

“I guess it’s quite something if someone is prepared to buy something,” Mrs Clifford said.

The items are not for sale, however Mrs Clifford said the guild could always pass on a request for purchase to the relevant artist, just in case they were inter-

ested in selling.

The reason they did not list the exhibition work for sale was because embroidery was traditionally a craft undertaken for loved ones and friends.

“I think a lot of work you do is with someone or something in mind,” she said.

Mrs Clifford herself had some of that specially created work which had been handed down from her grandmother.

It was a collection of embroidered tablecloths, ones she rarely used as she wanted to preserve them.

As well as a wide range of individually crafted items, there is a tapestry panel which is being worked on by members on display.

It will be one of more than 100 panels as part of a New Zealand Tapestry Trust project.

Additionally, there is a display of poppies as part of the Poppies 5000 World War One project.

The exhibition, entitled Threads In Harmony, opened on Saturday alongside three other exhibitions at the gallery. About 150 people attended the opening.

Embroidery has been dated as far back as ancient China in the fifth to third century BC. In English culture, examples which are hundreds of years old still survive today, and reveal that it was a skill marking a girl’s path into womanhood as well as conveying rank and social standing.

Parker’s first real fight Kali Meehan says Joseph Parker’s professional career will start properly when they meet in Auckland in October. The veteran New Zealander, now based in Australia, was confirmed yesterday as Parker’s next opponent and said he has already been training for six weeks. The fight, on October 15, will be held at Waitakere’s Trust Stadium, near his former home in Avondale, and after watching Parker’s career closely, including last weekend’s 63-second knockout of Bowie Tupou, Meehan believes he will be the South Aucklander’s toughest opponent to date.

Frisbee at Olympics?

Ultimate frisbee could bid to become an Olympic sport after the International Olympic Committee officially recognised the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF).

WFDF president Robert Rauch said whilst the IOC nod of approval at its meeting in Kuala Lumpur was an “incredible” milestone in the organisation’s 30-year history, there was still plenty of work to be done before anyone could win Olympic gold in frisbee. “WFDF is extremely honoured and humbled by the decision and support shown by the IOC Session for our sport... There could be no bigger anniversary present to WFDF, which was launched in August 1985,” he said.

■ COLLEGE SPORTS EXCHANGE

Inter-school contest a thriller

By Donan ashBy

Ashburton College Correspondent

Ashburton College was narrowly defeated in its annual sports exchange with Rangiora High School on Monday, despite success in some highscoring matches.

With games being played at College, the Ashburton Domain, and the EA Networks Centre stadium, the hosts lost seven of their 13 fixtures in what was a thrilling and very close exchange.

The College girls’ football team was dominated by a short, sharp passing Rangiora and found themselves 3-0 down at the break.

The girls continued to show great character and never gave up despite conceding three more goals in the second half.

The boys’ football was closely contested and the teams were locked at 1-1 at halftime thanks to a well worked goal from Ashley Van Staden.

The boys would have gladly taken a draw, but it was not to be as Rangiora found a late winner.

The college’s two hockey teams both won in what was a

pair of high-scoring matches.

The girls crushed their opponents 12-0, opening the floodgates in the second half with 11 goals.

Felicity Dalzell grabbed four, while Emma Mealings and Lydia McCosker both scored two each.

The seniors didn’t have as much luck with their games.

The boys lost to a strong side 63-79 in another physical and close game and, at 3095, the senior girls suffered a heavy defeat but will take away a lot of positives from their game against one of the area’s strongest teams.

In netball, the Senior B team

stopped their recent run of losses with a 40-33 win, giving them great confidence ahead of their schools’ tournament.

The Year 10 A netball team fought hard, but Rangiora managed to pull away late in the game to win 32-35.

The game of the day was awarded to the Year 9 A netball team that destroyed a Rangiora side that had recently won the South Island Championships.

The Rangiora coach was stunned when the final scoreline read 33-13 to the home side.

The Under 15 rugby boys had a tough day at the office against some of Rangiora’s prospective First XV players, whose physicality saw the visitors overpower the young side 48-12.

In the last matchup of the day, the shooters narrowly lost with a score of 1296.27 versus 1308.36.

Lanelle Millar-McArthur scored 199 out of a possible 200.

The next, and last exchange of the year is against Lincoln High on Monday.

Sydney star Adam Goodes has confirmed he will return to AFL action against Geelong on Saturday night.

Goodes missed the Swans’ last-start victory over Adelaide, after being worn down by the incessant booing from opposing fans. But the two-time Brownlow medallist says he was humbled by the support he had received in the past few days from his team-mates, players at other clubs and the broader AFL community. “Whether this is my last year or not, I really want to go out there and enjoy the last five games of the season and another finals campaign and then we’ll see what happens,” the 37-year-old Goodes said.

Sjostrom breaks record Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom has broken the women’s 100m butterfly world record for the second time in 24 hours to win gold in the final at the world swimming championships in Russia. Sjostrom clocked 55.64 seconds in the final in Kazan yesterday to shave 0.15 seconds off the record she set in Sunday’s semi. Meanwhile, Adam Peaty won the men’s 100m breaststroke gold to give Britain their first world champion in the event for 40 years.

■ RICCARTON

In brief

Track Cropp’s only worry Matthew Cropp believes the better ground at Riccarton today might be all that stands between him and his second victory in the Grand National Hurdles.

The Waverley-based rider won the prestige event in 2010 with Joint Effort and he is relying on another tough mare in Wee Biskit to double his tally in the Hospitality NZ-sponsored feature.

“The going worries me a bit, she’s never really been tried on a dead track,” Cropp said.

“She’s going super, the weight won’t worry her and neither

will the distance. I’m still very confident with just the track the only question mark.”

Trained by part-owner Ken Duncan, last year’s Great Northern Hurdles winner has found form at the right time with success in the Wellington Hurdles two runs back before she posted a surprise highweight win at Waverley.

“Kenny said to let her do her own thing at Waverley. She was at the back and just flew past them – I couldn’t believe it,” Cropp said.

“I worked her this (Tuesday) morning and she’s full of her-

Jockey Matthew Cropp

self and she couldn’t be going any better.”

While there was never any doubt that Cropp would be

aboard Wee Biskit, he was impressed with stablemate Shamal’s effort when they combined to finish second in last Saturday’s Sydenham Hurdles.

“He definitely surprised me,” he said.

“I expected him to go well, but I didn’t expect him to go that well. He’s only just turned five and he’s a big bloke, he might be a Great Northern horse.

“Kenny’s team is going really well and you need to be riding for a good stable now, it’s hard to freelance and he’s giving me some great opportunities.”

First win top priority Tim and Margaret Carter’s first priority with Battle Time this season is to find the easiest option for the highly-rated colt’s debut. The Cambridge trainers are focusing on a maiden win for the three-year-old before they step him back up to the big time. “First things first, we want to get a soft race to get him out of maidens,” Margaret Carter said.

On the evidence of Battle Time’s two-year-old performances winning form isn’t far away.

Heading for the top Close your eyes when you talk to Jacob Lowry and you would swear you are in the company of a 27-yearold. He’s 17 and until a couple of years ago he hadn’t thrown a leg over a thoroughbred. On Saturday he brought home outsider Timy Tyler in the Winter Cup with a beautiful ride. This is a kid that is going to make it right to the top of the ladder.

In brief Parker lashes Broncos Brisbane’s belting at the hands of Manly was a timely reminder of how ugly an off-colour night in the NRL can become, according to cocaptain Corey Parker. The Broncos remain top of the NRL ladder but are equal on points with North Queensland following the surprise 44-14 capitulation to the Sea Eagles on Saturday night. Parker did not hold back in his assessment of Brisbane’s performance, vowing his side would get back on course in time for Canterbury’s visit on Friday to Suncorp Stadium. Asked where things went wrong for the Broncos against Manly, Parker said: “Once the whistle went.”

Shoulder charge debate

Kompressor shows rivals a clean pair of heels Junior driver Jeremy Markham sits unmoving in the sulky as he gets Kompressor to the line untested in the Qualifying Mobile Pace at the Chertsey Trotting Club’s trials at Ashburton Raceway yesterday. Kompressor, trained by Cran Dalgety, is a threeyear-old Bettor’s Delight-Cullen’s Creation bay gelding, and romped home well under the required 3-10.0 for qualifying, reeling off a slick 3-04.4 for the 2400 metre journey, with the last half in 59.0 and last 400 in 27.6. The first of Kompressor’s rivals home was The Golden Cross (G. D. O’Reilly) five lengths back, with Innocent Artist (D. J. Keast) another couple of lengths back.

Turner does best in thrilling final

By Matt MarkhaM Willowby indoor bowler, Darryn Turner will represent Ashburton at this year’s Champion of Champion Singles event in Christchurch.

The former South Island representative earned the right to wear the black and white colours of his district in the national final by claiming the Henselite Singles event held on Saturday afternoon at the McNally Street stadium.

RESULTS ■ Bridge Ashburton Bridge Club

Australian captain Cameron Smith says the recent death of James Ackerman illustrates why the shoulder charge must remain banned from rugby league. Amid calls by the likes of NSW Origin captain Paul Gallen and former great Peter Sterling for the spectacular, but potentially damaging, defensive ploy to be reinstated, Smith is adamant the NRL must stamp it out of the game completely. Ackerman played for the Sunshine Coast Falcons, and died two days after being injured in a tackle. “It’s pretty clear cut for me - it’s got no place in the game anymore,” Smith said.

Chelsea team to beat It is a reflection of Chelsea’s dominance last season that although they are yet to strengthen their squad, they remain strong favourites to retain the Premier League title in 2015-16. Arsenal, third last season, appear better-equipped for a title tilt, while Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have spent big in the hope of closing the gap on Chelsea, who finished eight points clear of City in May. But with their title-winning side intact, Jose Mourinho’s men are widely perceived as the team to beat.

Turner beat Mark Sheard in a thrilling final. Well down early on, Turner managed to fight his way back into contention to bring the scores to all level with one end left to play. He then was able to stop Sheard from scoring to claim the victory.

Martin Nordqvist and Michael Lawson were the beaten semi-finalists.

It is the second year in a row that Turner has won the prize which will see him compete against some of New Zealand’s

best bowlers in the national final.

Meanwhile on Sunday the Ashburton representative side were humbled by Canterbury in their annual fixture in Lincoln.

There as defending champions, Ashburton were never really in contention as Canterbury took a commanding lead at the half way point and never looked back, eventually claiming the title as 107 to 61 victors.

Stars for the Ashburton side in the fixture were Michael Lawson and Laura Mackenzie

who had six wins out of their six games during the day.

That’s a good sign for both players with Lawson to captain the South Island side on their tour of the North Island and Mackenzie only a few weeks away from heading to Wellington to compete in the New Zealand Junior Singles final.

There’s just one remaining rep fixture left for the season against a Geraldine and Temuka side on August 20 in Ashburton.

Former paceman Glenn McGrath believes the growth of the IPL combined with the increasingly busy Test schedule means Australia’s Test stars are playing less cricket under English conditions. And the performances and results are showing. Michael Clarke’s team trail England 2-1 in the Ashes with two Tests to go and McGrath believes it is because the team is not experienced enough to modify their game to the slow English-type pitches because they are playing so much cricket overseas.

- AAP Depending on what you were looking for at Trent Bridge on Monday, there was good and bad news for England paceman Mark Wood. Wood is expected to replace Jimmy Anderson in the XI that thumped Australia by eight wickets at Edgbaston. “For me, if he’s fit, he plays at Trent Bridge,” Stuart Broad wrote in his Daily Mail column. It’s a reasonable expectation - the 25-year-old played the opening two Tests ahead of Steve Finn.

Wood has been with the squad for the entire five-Test series, as opposed to Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt, summoned after Anderson’s side strain.

■ RUGBY

Smith enjoys unique rivalry

By Joseph pearson Conrad Smith will miss a lot of things about New Zealand rugby when he moves to France next year, including the “unique” relationship with Australia.

Smith will join French outfit Pau after the World Cup but has plenty to achieve before the move, starting with Saturday’s Rugby Championship decider in Sydney.

The Wallabies are joint top of the Rugby Championship with the All Blacks after both sides beat South Africa and Argentina in their opening two games.

Saturday night’s game at ANZ Stadium will be the last game Smith plays in Australia for the All Blacks.

The Wallabies held the All Blacks to a 12-12 draw in Sydney in August of last year’s Rugby Championship but Smith didn’t play because of the birth of his first child.

“It will be something I miss,” said Smith.

“They’re our brothers across the ditch and it’s a pretty unique rivalry. I’ve grown to enjoy the games a lot and everything that comes with these games.

“There’s something special about the Bledisloe games.

“Australia are the team we love to hate.

“It’s a different rivalry with Australia and I’m sure they’d be the first to admit that themselves.

“You’re always against an Australian side that’s very passionate and they play really well there. I think back to the games I’ve had there and they’re always particularly tough.

“They always start well at their home base and that’s a factor we can prepare for.

“There’s obviously a bigger picture

around this year but it’s the Bledisloe Cup and we want to hold on to it.

“We know how desperate they are to get it off us.”

Australia last won the Rugby Championship in 2011 when it was formerly the Tri-Nations and Argentina had yet to join the competition.

That same year was World Cup year and the Wallabies will be hoping to emulate their achievements from that campaign, when they beat the All Blacks 25-20 in a decider in Brisbane.

Smith played in that game and revealed he was intimidated by the Australian crowd early into his All Blacks career when he was a substitute in Sydney.

“On one of my early tests I was on the bench and I’ve never been heckled quite

like it. I had long hair and they were saying, ‘get a haircut’ and ‘who are ya’ and all sorts. I look back now and I laugh but I know at the time, it was quite intimidating. It still sticks in my mind.”

Despite the abuse that rained down on him on that occasion, Smith says it’s something he’s enjoyed throughout his career and with the opposing players, too.

“I enjoy playing them and I enjoy the banter, particularly with the guys I’ve played against like Adam Ashley-Cooper. I suppose it’s like all sports when you play Australians.

“There’s plenty of niggle and the supporters love ribbing you more when you play in Sydney than what you get in Jo’Burg. It’s all part of it and it makes it enjoyable.”

tire team will be head-to-toe in black throughout the tournament.

There are four variations of the boots, depending on players’ positions.

Simon C a r t wright, the senior director of adidas rugby, said: “We believe, as an evolution of ‘the blackest ever’ All Blacks jersey launched in November,

Blackout boots make a strong and powerful statement, just like the All Blacks do every time they hit the field.”

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw said of being part of the research and development process: “You have more confidence knowing what you wear is going to help you perform on field.”

The All Blacks will “break in” their new Blackout boots in training before wearing them on-field for the second Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park a -NZME week on Saturday.

All Blacks not unbeatable- Wallaby legend John Eales has offered the Wallabies plenty of hope against the All Blacks but he was short on detail when it came to winning back the Bledisloe and succeeding in the World Cup. Eales, a double World Cup winner, has one of the greatest modern-day records

In keeping with their “Force of Black” theme promoted by sponsors adidas, the All Blacks will wear all black boots to defend their title at the global event starting next month.

The “Blackout” boots, available to the public in shops from Saturday, even have black stripes.

Adidas said the boots, de-

against the All Blacks, with 11 successes in 20 starts.

He dragged out the old line that “New Zealand are not unbeatable” and showed himself to be unafraid of the obvious in declaring “New Zealand are ahead of the others”.

“But those others are all entirely capable of winning the (World Cup) themselves,” he said.

Eales also said that a win in Saturday’s Bledisloe Cup battle would be a massive boost for the Wallabies’ World Cup prospects.

5/8 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The difference between the way you are and the way you want people to think you are is a discrepancy for the ages. Give yourself a break. It’s a human condition.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your best friends challenge your views and influence you either to take a stronger stand or change your mind. Bonus: The heated conversation starts an evaporation process for your troubles.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Pay attention to the people who cause you irritation, because they have something to teach you about your beliefs and attitudes. There is something necessary in this lesson — otherwise you wouldn’t be bothered.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll make a stunning first impression with whomever you meet. So why not introduce yourself to someone who has the power to hire you, promote you or buy what you’re selling at top dollar?

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Celebrate and enjoy the ease of communication that comes with this cosmic passage. To be heard and understood is a wonderful occurrence and not as common as it should be.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The facts that stressed you out yesterday may still be the same today; however, your reaction will likely be quite different. It turns out all the stress was optional.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You will feel you haven’t done enough, that you could do better. Sure, there’s room for growth. There always is. And yet you are perfectly in sync with the universe.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It will be easy and necessary to change the dynamic of a certain relationship. All you have to do is agree, once you’re in agreement, the other person will listen to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Patience is like bodybuilding: the muscles tire and tear in order to grow stronger. The ones who wear down your patience are also the ones who build it up.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’d like to give grandly to loved ones, but chances are what they really need from you isn’t grand at all. It’s small, specific and something only you can deliver.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The nature of fun is that it’s somewhat unpredictable and can’t be totally controlled. If those two qualities don’t exist in the situation, you’ll be bored, and it won’t be your fault.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When you’re where you want to be, you close your eyes and minutes fly by flash-and-blur style. When you’re where you don’t want to be, the second hand drags.

Epic five-set marathon on the squash court Interclub squash is getting into the sharp end, and in Division 1 last night at the Celtic courts it was the home side, currently top of the table, playing fourth-placed Methven. Steve Leckie (left) faced Elliot McNutt for the visitors, and the victory went to the Methven player in a marathon five-setter. The two games Leckie picked up proved invaluable though, as Celtic’s John McDonnell won in straight games, while Chris O’Reilly lost in another five-setter, and Pete Summerfield won 3-0, giving Celtic a 12-6 victory. The interclub finals and presentations night will be held at the Collegiate courts on Friday, August 14, and the finals format for each division is first v second for the championship, and third v fourth to establish third place.

Hurrell dropped for Dragons clash

BY DAVID SKIPWITH Warriors centre Konrad Hurrell has been dropped for Saturday’s NRL clash against the St GeorgeIllawarra Dragons in Wellington, with Jonathan Wright replacing him in the midfield. Hurrell ap-

pears to have paid the price for a dysfunctional left-edge defensive effort in last Saturday’s defeat to Cronulla, after he switched places from his usual right side with Solomone Kata.

In the only change to the Warriors line-up for the Westpac

Parker’s ‘first real fight’ coming up P19

Stadium match, Wright will slot in to the Warriors’ right side with Kata reverting to his regular left-centre role.

The Warriors will again be without experienced back-rowers Ryan Hoffman (calf) and Bodene Thompson (ankle) as

they look to arrest a 10-game losing streak against the Dragons dating back to 2008.

McFadden expects greater desperation in defence and improved execution on attack after the team dropped out of the top eight following three consecu-

tive defeats to the Roosters, Sea Eagles and Sharks.

They now sit perilously in ninth place on 22 points with the seventh-ranked Dragons and eighth-placed Bulldogs and looking to win four of their last five to claim a finals spot. - NZME
