Arrest tally now three

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A 26-year-old Ashburton man will appear in court this morning charged with assaulting AJ Gairns, taking the total number of arrests in the unexplained death case to three.

Mr Gairns’ body was found in a drainage run-off area behind a commercial premises on West Street on Sunday afternoon, but the three people now charged with assaulting him with intent to rob him are alleged to have committed the crime early Saturday morning.

The 26-year-old Ashburton

man was arrested yesterday, just hours after police announced they’d arrested a 24-year-old Ashburton man overnight on Tuesday. Those arrests followed the arrest of a 26-year-old Wellington woman the night before.

All three are facing a charge of assaulting Mr Gairns with intent to rob.

The first two people arrested have now both appeared in the Timaru District Court. Neither entered a plea and both were remanded on bail. The third person will also appear in the Timaru District Court this morning.

Police said they believed Mr

Gairns was the subject of an attempted robbery prior to 4am on Saturday. Mr Gairns went missing after going to visit a friend at around 3am on Saturday.

Police yesterday returned to the area where Mr Gairns’ body was located by members of the public, behind the Bunnings complex on West Street, to complete additional forensic examination, Mid-South Canterbury Police Detective Senior Sergeant Marion Neill said.

They’re also continuing to speak to persons of interest in relation to the events leading up to Mr Gairns’ death, which

they’re continuing to treat as unexplained.

When the Guardian asked yesterday whether more serious charges were likely and what had occurred between the alleged attempted robbery, police would not be drawn, saying that formed part of the investigation.

On Tuesday police said there was no evidence of suspicious circumstances around Mr Gairns’ death and while they were aware of speculation surrounding the case, they hoped that information may help stop rumours circulating in Ashburton.

Kiwi jeweller’s handles grace coach

The Queen this week took her first ride in the Diamond Jubilee state coach, parts of which were Kiwi-made. The coach – in which the Queen rode to the opening of Britain’s Parliament – is described as a “mobile time capsule” because it contains relics from the past, including wood from HMS Victory and a piece of Sir Edmund Hillary’s Everest ladder. The gold-plated door handles, made by Kiwi master jeweller Michael Baker, each contain 130 sapphires and 24 diamonds. Mr Baker said the carriage was exquisite and everything for it had to be perfect.

The handles had taken him 30 hours to make. Each individual stone had a claw over it to attach it to the metal. “You couldn’t really put a price on them, to be honest.”

Lorde’s plan to take on ticket scalpers Lorde is wielding her star power to thwart scalpers ripping off fans. The 17-year-old Grammy winner has announced a ticketing system in which only people “invited” to her show can purchase tickets and attend. The online scheme – called Invitation Onsale – was launched this week to stop scalpers buying lots of tickets and on-selling them for high prices to genuine fans. Lorde is touring North America over the next few months. The ticket site is run by Artist Arena. Fans must sign up and be accepted before they can buy tickets. The site aims to ensure fans of the Kiwi songstress “have first access to the best tickets”.

Even though motor vehicles were still viewed as relatively “new-fangled” inventions in the early 1900s, speeding was still an issue in Ashburton. On June 6, 1911, the Guardian reported: Attention has been drawn to the dangerous practice of motorists driving in and out of right-of-ways at full speed. This morning an accident was narrowly averted in Burnett Street, wherein a little girl jumped off her bicycle just in time to escape being run over by a motor-car that suddenly swerved into a right-of-way.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden go public Cameron Diaz and rocker Benji Madden appear to have gone public with their romance after they were spotted strolling down a busy New York City street handin-hand. The Charlie’s Angels beauty sparked rumours she is dating the Good Charlotte star last month when they were seen going to the gym together before leaving in the actress’ car. They were reportedly introduced by Madden’s sister-in-law, Nicole Richie, but have so far refused to comment on speculation they are an item. However, they seemed very much a couple earlier this week when they were seen picking up coffees in New York City’s West Village, before holding hands and walking the streets in the sunshine.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Forestry land sell-off mooted

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Council could reel in more than $20 million if it goes ahead with selling off plots of its forestry estate to make way for farming.

At a finance and business support committee meeting yesterday, councillors agreed to receive an Ernst and Young (EY) report, recommending the council sells all freehold land that could be used for dairy support or arable cropping.

The council’s 1976 hectare forestry estate has a tree value of $6m. About 1200 hectares of that is owned and has a “potential realisable value” of around $23m if suitable land was sold for farming purposes.

However, that dollar total could drop due to Environment Canterbury nutrient management regulations and the scattered nature of the plantations.

EY also recommended the council retained other freehold land and attempted to sell it off on a regular basis, but it should

continue with all current forestry activities on reserve land, but if it was not replanted it could lease it out.

Councillor Alan Totty said councillors needed to consider the domestic price of logs was “never going to be all that great” and there had been less planting in recent years.

Councillor Rod Beavan questioned whether the council had an obligation to consider the environmental impact, but council business support group manager Paul Brake said reasons for

plantations, including soil erosion, were no longer considered a great risk.

EY transaction advisory services director Bruce Gemmell told councillors dairy support was “the rock star”, particularly with the district’s rich vein of irrigation schemes, so having money tied up in forestry was not as economically viable.

District forester Terry O’Neill said large scale sales could impact on cashflow the council received from forestry, but the money received from

sales could be reinvested into other areas which were likely to have larger returns.

Councillors also agreed that a strategy needed to be developed to ensure it got its best bang for its buck when it came to selling the blocks.

Mr Brake said it was not yet known when the strategy could be finalised, but it was about outlining a plan to work through each block and consider methods of sale including discussions with neighbours or actively marketing the land.

■ PRINCE’S SINGLETS

Winchmore branch backs singlet initiative Kayne Shanks, born on Saturday, is the first Mid Canterbury bub to wear a woolly singlet knitted in honour of Prince George.

The collaborative project between Rural Women and Creative Fibre NZ was hatched after the prince was born on July 22 last year. The aim was to knit and gift singlets to newborns in maternity wards across the country.

The Winchmore branch of Rural Women took up the challenge in Mid Canterbury and delivered 14 singlets, in a range of styles and colours, to the maternity centre at the Ashburton Hospital on Tuesday.

By JaMes IHaka The driver of a campervan which crashed into a four-wheel-drive, killing an Auckland woman, has appeared in court.

Cody James Dickey of Newark, California, appeared in Hamilton District Court yesterday where he entered guilty pleas to charges of carelessly driving causing the death of Robyn Derrick and careless driving causing injury.

The court was told Dickey and his wife had been travelling around New Zealand for a week in a campervan before the crash on State Highway 25 near Whenuakite in Coromandel on Friday

evening. The couple had been due to leave the country the following day.

Dickey’s lawyer Mike McIvor said Dickey was travelling in wet conditions and thought he saw two sets of headlights heading towards him as he went around a bend. The two vehicles collided. Mrs Derrick was killed and her husband Philip was airlifted to Auckland Hospital. He has since been discharged.

Mr McIvor said Dickey was “shocked” and “devastated” and “really doesn’t know where to go”.

Mr McIvor wondered if there would be any worth in his client attending a restorative justice session as it was unclear whether Mr Derrick was ready to do so.

He asked the court to convict Dickey and order he make the payment of $4000 for emotional harm so he could leave the country.

Community Magistrate Sue Hovell said two families’ lives had changed as a result of the accident.

“Mr Derrick has lost his wife and as he puts in his victim impact statement, his best friend,” she said.

“That’s a tragedy…However, any restorative justice conference does help the healing process.”

She stood the matter down until 2.15pm yesterday so the two parties could discuss whether there would be a restorative justice session.

■ JOHN BANKS FRAUD CASE

In brief

Dotcom ‘more credible’

By Jimmy Ellingham A High Court judge found Kim Dotcom to be a reliable witness in the John Banks case, but said the MP’s wife Amanda Banks was not.

In Justice Edwin Wylie’s judgment, which finds Banks guilty of filing a false electoral return, the judge compared two different versions of events at Dotcom’s Coatesville mansion in June 2010.

The judge ruled in favour of Dotcom’s version, which was largely supported by his estranged wife Mona and former bodyguard Wayne Tempero.

Banks’ version was backed in the witness stand by his wife, but Justice Wylie said Mrs Banks’ evidence about the visit to the Dotcom mansion was “unreliable”.

Mrs Banks accepted the purpose of the visit was for Banks to seek campaign support, but she said she and Mrs Dotcom had wandered off to look at the children’s wing when donations were discussed.

Justice Wylie said he had “difficulties” with that account, as Mrs Dotcom said the women were still in the room during talks about money.

“The conversation would have been relatively memorable

because it was unusual and Mrs Dotcom was able to recollect the conversation clearly.”

Justice Wylie also rejected evidence from Banks and his wife that there were American businessmen present at the lunch.

He accepted the Dotcoms’ evidence that Banks later thanked Dotcom for the payments and confirmed to Mr Tempero his campaign had received the money.

“Mr Dotcom, in particular, was in my view a good witness.

He answered questions about his criminal history frankly and openly.

“He did not obviously seek to ‘gild the lily’ in giving evidence and there was no artifice that I could detect.”

Claims from the defence that Dotcom held sway over his former wife and employees were rejected.

When delivering his decision to a packed courtroom in the High Court at Auckland yesterday, Justice Wylie said he was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt Banks knew the electoral return was false when he signed it, in relation to the Megastuff donation recorded as anonymous.

The judge couldn’t, however, find Banks guilty beyond rea-

An eight-year-old boy was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital yesterday following a school-yard accident.

It’s understood the boy came off a trampoline at Methven’s Our Lady of the Snows School and was complaining of a sore back and neck. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to the school following the incident at about 11.30am.

A Westpac Rescue Helicopter spokesperson told the Guardian the boy was in good spirits when they transported him to hospital and it was hoped the trip to hospital was just precautionary.

“With any luck they’ll check him out and he will be good as gold,” the helicopter spokesperson said.

Police said they were aware of the incident but it was a matter for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to investigate.

Three fire calls John Banks found guilty of filing a false electoral return in the Auckland High Court yesterday.

sonable doubt about a SkyCity donation of $15,000 made in May 2010, which was listed as anonymous in the return.

Banks’ lawyer David Jones, QC, asked Justice Wylie not to enter a conviction, and indicated there would be an application for a discharge without conviction at sentencing in August.

Outside court Banks said he was working through his legal options, but respected the

judge’s decision.

“We are disappointed with the verdict. We are surprised with the result,” Banks said.

“From day one I have told you I would never never knowingly file a false anything let alone a false return.”

Retired Wellington accountant Graham McCready, who initially laid the charge as a private prosecution, said he was ecstatic with the verdict.

■ CURTAIN BANK CALL

Local residents kitted out with free curtains

The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out three times yesterday – twice for the same call. They were called to a grass fire on Pudding Hill Road shortly before 7am, but couldn’t find it.

They were called to the same thing again shortly before midday. It’s understood it was just a small fire on the roadside. In between, they were called to help the Westpac Rescue Helicopter land at Our Lady of the Snows School about 11.40am.

Glasses handed in Police are on the hunt for the owner of a pair of glasses that have been handed in to them.

A police spokesperson said the glasses appeared to be prescription glasses and they were in a case. They were found in Havelock Street. If they’re yours, you can claim them at the Ashburton Police Station.

Woman hit by van A woman suffered serious injuries when she was knocked over by a van on Moray Place in Dunedin yesterday. Sergeant Reece Munro said the woman was hit by a vehicle near the corner of George Street at 11.25am. The woman was taken to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance. Her injuries were believed to be serious, Mr Munro said.

The Curtain Bank kitted out a handful of people yesterday with free fitted curtains during its first visit to town.

Those who took up the offer of free curtains chose their own from the pre-measured curtain range on board.

There were dozens of options. There were also wires, hooks and track accessories.

Tracks were also available but needed to be pre-measured, then ordered.

Presbyterian Support coordinator Dianne Smith said there had been good interest but more people could still take up the offer.

The Curtain Bank – through Community Energy Action – offered a range of quality, recycled curtains in a variety of colours and styles.

They were available for anyone who needed them – not only people with a Community Services Card.

People from 18 homes took up the offer last year and co-ordinator Dianne Smith wanted

to exceed that total this season.

Mrs Smith said it was a luxury when the van visits for people to choose their own curtain pattern or style from the range on board.

It was a great opportunity for

people who needed curtains, or any deteriorated or ineffective curtains replaced to add extra warmth over winter.

Properly fitted curtains were an effective way to keep the warmth in a house.

Presbyterian Support also had a selection of homemade draught stoppers for people as another aid to keep warm.

Anyone interested in curtains can contact Mrs Smith at Presbyterian Support.

Homes were evacuated and a road partly closed after a gas leak in an Auckland suburb yesterday.

Inspector Earle McIntosh said the closure and evacuation were precautionary. “It’s a little bit dangerous so we’ve closed the road to keep people out and so [workers] can do their repairs,” he said.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Students served up major reality check

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hearing the piercing screams of their peers trapped in a car, Ashburton College pupils were dealt another major reality check when it comes to the dangers of inattention at the wheel.

In what has been a horror week on Mid Canterbury roads, the message could not have been clearer at yesterday’s mock crash as part of the college’s annual Road Crash Day, targeted at Year 12 pupils – many of whom are restricted licence holders.

The 250 pupils looked on as Jamie Philip, Hannah Wright, Marjenta Chatterton and Lewis Gladden played out a life-like scene on Middle Road, seeing the three girls covered in fake blood, in shock at the realisation that they had hit and killed a pedestrian.

The hard-hitting scenario aimed to point out how a moment’s lapse in concentration, whether it be texting or talking, can have dire consequences. Pupils sat still, some appearing horrified by the drama.

“We watched this last year and it was pretty hard-hitting, and considering the three deaths near Rakaia during the weekend I think a lot of people will be taking this seriously,” Jamie said.

Five firefighters, two police officers and two St John staff also turned up at the scene to give onlookers a true insight, while a hearse from Patersons Funeral Services turned up to take away the dead pedestrian.

Ashburton District Council road safety project officer Aileen Campbell hoped the mock crash would show the immediate impact such crashes had on victims, families, friends and

the emergency services.

“Bad things can happen to good people and it’s about looking after yourself and your mates,” she said.

Ashburton College deputy principal Grant Congdon said the Year 12 group were prime targets for Road Crash Day as many were new to driving.

“During the day we can often find someone have quite an emotional response to something, usually because it reminds them of something that might have happened to them or someone they know,” he said.

Following the mock crash, pupils moved on to a day of workshops at the Ashburton Event Centre, with presenters from the police, Students Against Driving Drunk, the Serious Crash Unit, the fire service, St John, Attitude and the Ashburton District Council.

■ ALLENTON ‘ABDUCTION’

■ WAIMATE

Police call off investigation

Irrigation scheme attracts $7m from the Govt

By eriN Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Police have called off their investigation into an alleged abduction of an eightyear-old girl in Allenton.

Detective Leigh Jenkins said they were no longer looking for anyone in relation to the alleged attempted abduction which was said to have occurred on Harrison Street,

near the intersection with Smitheram Street, early last month.

Mr Jenkins said investigators had not been able to establish the circumstances of the alleged incident and no significant information has been received from the public.

“We are grateful for the assistance of those people that did contact police, however we are unable to proceed further

with the investigation.”

The incident allegedly involved the girl being dragged from her Harrison Street driveway to a car on the corner of Smitheram Street.

The girl said she broke free when the man tried to force her in a dark green car.

Police later revealed the suspect was wearing a mask which covered his face.

Police appealed for informa-

tion from members of the public on a number of occasions, saying the alleged incident happened in a busy area with a shopping centre barely 100 metres away, at a busy time of the day – 4.15pm on a Tuesday afternoon.

Some people who were in the area at the time did come forward and contact police but no significant information was received.

■ LABOUR MPS IN TOWN

MP: Poverty on rise in Mid Canty

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

Despite the apparent wealth of the district, there are increasing pockets of poverty in Mid Canterbury, Labour Party spokesperson for Social Development Sue Moroney says.

Ms Moroney was in Ashburton yesterday checking the “social temperature” of the district, accompanied by Labour’s Rangitata candidate Steve Gibson and his buddy MP, Poto Williams from the Christchurch East electorate.

“The Budget Advisory Service is busier than it’s ever been – more and more people are struggling to make ends meet, especially those on benefits,” she said.

“

We are concerned about the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots

“We are concerned about the widening gap between the haves and the have nots.

“In the past we were really proud to be part of a society where everyone got a fair go – we would like to get back to those days.

“We need to talk about poverty, but we also need to act.”

Ms Moroney said Labour’s Best Start package would go some way to alleviating the

pressure by putting an extra $60 a week into the bank accounts of families with newborns.

The money would be available for six months for all families earning up to $150k a year and until the child’s third birthday for those on less than $70k.

“That a big investment in reducing child poverty,” she said.

“We are embarrassed that 27 per cent of our children live in poverty.”

Extending paid maternity leave was also on yesterday’s agenda. Ms Moroney’s bill, the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Amendment Bill, which aims to extend paid parental leave from 14 to 18 weeks, has already passed its second reading, and the third reading will take place before the end of next month.

She said the majority of employers were supportive of the move.

Labour also plans to increase the hours of free childcare from 20 hours to 25, to make it more affordable and accessible.

By DaviD Bruce A feasibility study to prove whether a new irrigation scheme in Waimate covering up to 40,000ha is viable can now start, with the Ministry of Primary Industries agreeing to contribute $7 million funding over the next two years.

Initially, along with money from shareholders and $3.8 million from Meridian Energy, some will be used to investigate the feasibility and viability of the Hunter Downs irrigation scheme.

If that hurdle is passed at the end of the year, shareholders will be asked for a further input which, along with the money from Meridian and the ministry, will go towards detailed planning, costing and calling of tenders.

Work is projected to start at the end of 2016, with water available from the start of the 2018-19 season.

Hunter Downs Irrigation Ltd chairman Andrew Fraser yesterday welcomed the agreement on Government funding for a scheme which, he said, had the potential to bring “big benefits for the whole community”.

He said the scheme had been planned for more than eight years, but had moved rapidly since a two company structure was established last year to oversee its development and own the scheme.

Last month, it was confirmed there was enough financial support from shareholders and the Waimate and Timaru District Councils for the local share of funding to progress the scheme.

That local support then met ministry requirements for final agreement to be reached on the company’s application for $7.044 million funding over two years from the Government’s Irrigation Acceleration Fund.

The company had issued 27,390 shares to 151 shareholders, mostly within the potential scheme area. They paid $25 a share as instalment one of a $200-per-share total. That raised more than $680,000 now and potentially $5.4 million once all instalments were received.

The first instalment of $25 per share is what the company needed for the next phase of work.

Agribusiness training opens up to more

The Diploma in Agribusiness Management, delivered by Aoraki Polytechnic, will soon support agribusiness owners and managers including farmers, horticulturalists and those working in the primary industry, to gain the tools they need to upskill in several areas of their business. Along with learning new techniques in the key areas of business management, financial management, human resources and sustainability, agribusiness decision makers can credit their existing knowledge towards the Diploma qualification.

Aoraki Polytechnic have developed a leading-edge system whereby a facilitator assesses a student’s current level of knowledge and skills, credits these towards the Diploma, and creates a personalised learning plan to “fill in the gaps”. This will save agribusiness decision makers time and allow them to focus on what is relevant to them. All learning is applied directly to their particular business.

Andrea Leslie, Aoraki’s Primary Industry Portfolio Manager, says “The Primary ITO and Aoraki Polytechnic collaboration is a partnership that ultimately benefits the learner, ensuring that support is available both on the farm and while engaging in learning.

“Aoraki Polytechnic has proven expertise in providing quality education and is working closely with Primary ITO to engage learners.”

Aoraki Polytechnic Chief Executive Alex Cabrera has reaffirmed a commitment to developing and sustaining a primary industry portfolio of programmes within the Aoraki region.

The Diploma in Agribusiness Management is an ideal qualification for people who want to empower themselves to make business decisions with confidence, build productive and engaged teams, and improve the bottom-line of their businesses.

Fred Hardy, General Manager Strategic Business Development at Primary ITO says “Primary ITO’s partnership with Aoraki Polytechnic means that more people working in agribusiness can improve their business practices and planning – leading not only to better business outcomes for themselves, but an improved result for the industry as a whole.”

Agribusiness decision makers will learn through a blend of face to face workshops with others in the primary industries, and through online learning developed by e-learning specialists.

■ AUCKLAND MURDER

In brief

Emotional farewell for Blessie

By Patrice Dougan An emotional congregation said goodbye to a “kind, openhearted and fun” woman who was taken before her time, at the funeral for Blessie Gotingco yesterday.

Hundreds of people packed into St Mary’s Catholic church in Northcote to pay their last respects to the mother-ofthree, who was murdered as she walked home from work almost two weeks ago.

Mourners spilled out the church doors wearing Blessie’s favourite colour of green with their funeral black, many with green ribbons on their lapels,

to pay tribute to the Tower insurance worker.

The funeral was as much a celebration of her life as a farewell from her family and the community which has rallied together since her disappearance on May 24.

A box of her ashes, covered in photographs of the smiling mother, sat at the front of the altar, surrounded by bouquets of flowers.

In a heartfelt tribute, her eldest son John described Blessie as “simply the best”, and a devoted mother who lived for her children.

“There is a big void in our everyday lives, a space that she

occupied, and that will never be filled,” he said.

He described the “cruel blow” of his mother being “taken before her time”.

The “wounds caused by her passing are still very raw”, he said, but he praised his father, Antonio, who had been a “beacon of light and a pillar of strength” to the rest of the family at this difficult time.

He described the family’s gratitude for the love and support shown by Blessie’s workmates and the wider community.

“If a person’s life can be valued in the aftermath of their passing, then my mother, dur-

ing the course of her stay here on earth, had won so much love from so many people, she was truly worth her weight in gold, and then some.”

The Gotingco family broke down in tears as parish priest Father Craig Dunford presented Antonio with his wife’s ashes at the end of the service.

Daughter Bea doubled over with grief, before son Vincent and Antonio broke down into tears too.

The family joined in a hug before leaving the church.

Blessie’s ashes were placed into the back of a car and farewelled.

Rest-home thefts Police are hunting a pair of men over at least seven “brazen” burglaries from rest-homes in Otago and Southland. Detective Sergeant Stu Harvey, of Invercargill, said the thefts and burglaries took place between May 15 and this week, with the pair starting in Cromwell, moving on to Oamaru, then Dunedin and most recently Invercargill.

The pair posed as visitors and targeted cash and electronic items, including iPads and laptops, after earlier “scoping” the homes. The total value of cash and items stolen was believed to be about $10,000. Mr Harvey described the offending as “brazen” and said it was concerning they were stealing from organisations which helped others.

Elderly man attacked An elderly man was hospitalised with “extreme facial injuries” after an assault in Aotea St, Wanganui, on Wednesday evening. Police were called to the scene in Castlecliff early in the evening and an inquiry is under way. Police had little information to release yesterday, but one male had been arrested in relation to the incident.

“The inquiry is ongoing, and there are still a number of witnesses to be spoken to,” acting Detective Sergeant Chay McArthur said.

“An elderly gentleman was seriously injured and required medical attention,” he said. - APNZ

German backpacker found safe in Central Otago

A missing German tourist has been found safe and well.

Anja Schulze, 31, was reported missing by friends in Switzerland after not being heard from since February 2.

A hunt was launched, with

Interpol asking help from the New Zealand police.

Ms Schulze was found yesterday in Central Otago, police said. German authorities have been informed. The backpacker had travelled through the

North Island before boarding a ferry with a fellow traveller from Wellington to Picton on January 29, police said.

“She has then continued her travel down the South Island over the past months,” said De-

tective Sergeant Fran Moore.

“She was unaware there were concerns for her safety and that police were looking for her.”

She thanked the members of the public who provided information to police.

■ BRING BACK HOOPS

Today last day to sign petition

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Today will be the last day for Mid Canterbury radio listeners to sign their name to the Bring Back Hoops campaign.

Loyal listeners of The Hits radio DJ Phill ‘Hoops’ Hooper began a petition following the station’s change from Classic Hits, to The Hits, which saw Hoops’ show moved from the 6am to 9am slot to the 9am to 3pm slot.

For listeners like Sharon Livingstone it was a move in the wrong direction and one which saw The Hits listeners lose their local morning voice. They were upset the station no longer broadcast local news, weather and other vital services like cancellations.

Ms Livingstone said the petition had gone well, although the exact number of signatures collected would not be known until they were collected later today.

“But we’ve been really delighted with

the response and we’ve had lots of good feedback,” she said.

The petition will be presented to the station’s management next week.

Moving Hoops from the morning slot means Mid Canterbury listeners – like the rest of the country – are now waking up to a show fronted by Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama.

The station has made one change in recent days though, bringing back some local content to the morning slot with a brief weather and happenings catch up with Hoops after the 8am news.

Lee Piper from the Radio Network South Island told the Guardian this week they’d had a lot of feedback following the change, both good and bad, and they were taking it seriously.

He said the network remained committed to providing the best local service in Ashburton and they were currently “working through” the situation.

■ ALEXANDRA DISTRICT COURT

Man indecently assaulted A man who indecently assaulted a 19-year-old special needs man had taken advantage of an extremely vulnerable victim, Judge Kevin Phillips said when sentencing the defendant to two years and nine months’ jail yesterday.

Sonny Duane Haami, 46, shed hand, of Central Otago, appeared in the Alexandra District Court for sentencing

on the indecent assault, which took place on September 29.

Judge Phillips said the defendant was at a party and had been drinking since the day before. The victim, who did not know Haami, arrived at the house and asked Haami about his vehicle. Haami took him for a drive to a small reserve nearby, parked the vehicle and removed some of the victim’s

clothing and tried to perform an indecent act.

The young man was upset and alarmed and ran away.

It was obvious the young man had intellectual disabilities, Judge Phillips said.

While there were no physical injuries, the emotional harm was “huge”.

Crown counsel Richard Smith said this was the “high-

est degree” of indecent assault and involved a vulnerable victim.

Counsel for Haami, Bernadette Farnan, said her client was disgusted with himself and acknowledged the trauma he had caused to the victim and the young man’s family. Haami was “remorseful, embarrassed and ashamed”.

Six staff complete ACE programmes

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Managing challenging behaviours and understanding different types of dementia are two components covered in the Aged Care Education (ACE) programmes completed by six staff at Princes Court Dementia Care.

The Princes Court staff completed different stages of their ongoing training and celebrated with a morning tea presentation.

Alana Adcock, Sue Day and Lynda Russell completed the National Certificate in Community Support Services Residential level three. The women completed 24 papers in three sections to gain the national certificate; they did ACE Core, Dementia and Advanced Program.

Komal Patel and Louanna Navarosa completed ACE Core and Dementia papers.

Chris Willis gained the National Certificate in Diversional Therapy level four.

ACE assessor Chris Lill said it was very rewarding for staff to complete each level of training.

“It’s a big deal for them and a big achievement,” Mrs Lill said.

“It reinforces what they’re

doing is for a reason and gives them confidence they’re doing things properly.”

Mrs Lill said each level of the training gave them confidence on many levels including dealing with residents, residents family members and medical personnel.

The different types of dementia was similar to an umbrella and had many spokes, Mrs Lill said. An understanding of those such as Alzhiemers, Picks disease, frontal lobe dementia, vascular dementia, alcohol related dementias, Parkinson’s disease and Hunting-

ton’s disease were important.

They helped the staff to better understand the residents’ needs.

She said Princes Court staff were well supported by management in their ongoing education programmes and encouraged them to participate.

■ ASHBURTON INITIATIVE

Fitness classes a breast cancer fundraiser

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Breast cancer fundraising is getting a boost with the support of an Ashburton fitness company and a lot of community spirit.

Studio Fit are calling for people to join an open session on Sunday to raise money for the Breast Cancer Pink Breakfast.

The event was touted as ‘Ashburton’s biggest outdoor

group fitness workout ever’.

Entry is a $10 donation and there were two classes available.

Studio Fit group fit manager/instructor Anna Johnson said people could attend either a 9am or a 10am class.

The early class was Body Attack, a modern form of aerobics. It was to be followed by a Body Balance class, a mix of yoga and pilates strength and stretching.

Ms Johnson recommended

the Body Balance class to beginners as it was gentler and needed less co-ordination.

It was ideal for people who just wanted to be involved and donate to the cause or those who wanted to see what the classes were all about, Ms Johnson said.

Anyone who donated to the cause would get a Colombus Coffee muffin as part of the event.

Organisers hoped for a large turnout of people and encour-

aged everyone to attend.

They were advised to bring friends, family, warm exercise gear, a yoga mat and their smiles.

Ms Johnson said, weather permitting, the fitness sessions would take over the pavement outside Frontrunner on Moore Street.

She said the weather forecast was not ideal and the Ashburton College gymnasium had been reserved as a back-up option if it rained.

Judge airs sentencing frustration A Dunedin judge believes Parliament needs to “ have a long hard look” at the maximum penalties available for alcoholaffected and dangerous drivers.

Judge Stephen Coyle yesterday described as “appalling” the fact that all he could impose on 21-year-old Dunedin man Tyrone Kamal Henare for two separate incidents of dangerous, high-speed driving, one with a drink-driving component, was three months’ jail.

But Henare had also admitted other charges including burglary, assault and vehicle theft, which carried maximum penalties of up to 10 years’ jail.

“In my view, Parliament needs to have long hard look at the ways of dealing with young men like you, driving and behaving as you did,” the judge told Henare, who was sentenced in the Dunedin District Court yesterday.

“Your driving was the most appalling aspect of the offending”, yet carried lesser maximum penalties, Judge Coyle said.

The reality was that people who drove like Henare had did not face a significant penalty, unless they caused serious injury to someone and faced “really serious charges”.

There was “a regrettable gap in our legislation” that people who offended in such a way would face charges carrying a three-month maximum, the judge said.

On the initial charges of dangerous driving and driving while his licence was suspended, Henare was sentenced to four weeks’ jail and disqualified for nine months.

For unlawfully getting into the van, burgling the Nairn St house and unlawfully taking a Holden car, he was sentenced to concurrent terms of 13 months’ jail, the 13 months to be added to the four weeks’ jail on the September charges.

Concurrent terms were imposed of four months for assaulting the van owner, two months for assaulting police, and one month each for resisting police, drink-driving, dangerous driving and failing to stop after an accident.

On both charges of failing to stop for police Henare was convicted and discharged.

On the dangerous and drinkdriving charges he was disqualified for another 12 months, a total ban of one year and nine months.

Henare’s unpaid fines were remitted and, in their place, he was given an extra two months’ jail, taking his total prison sentence to 16 months.

■ LONDON DEATH

Fight before Kiwi killed

By SoPhie ryan The mother and sister of a New Zealand man killed in London are ready to get on a plane to go there as soon as his body is released to the family.

Karl Jones, 34, died early on Sunday in Fulham.

Karl’s mother, Berry Jones of Warkworth, said her son, who had lived in London for seven years, was a well-travelled man who made friends wherever he went.

She said that since his death, the London Metropolitan Police had kept the family up to date with their investigation.

She has been told two arrests were imminent.

Mrs Jones understood that Karl had been out drinking with friends at a pub in Fulham.

She believed a friend of Karl’s was hit over the head with a bottle. When the scuffle spilled

outside the pub Karl suffered serious head and facial injuries, perhaps caused by someone hitting him with a bottle.

She said police believed he may have fallen in to the street where he was then struck by a passing car.

He was really incredibly independent, but he could relate to anybody across the board

Mrs Jones and Karl’s sister Karyn would be going to London for a commemoration for Karl once a post-mortem examination had been carried out.

Mrs Jones said it was important to her that a service was held with the many friends who had been phoning to send their condolences and share stories about her son.

“We’re absolutely inundated – and it’s very humbling to us – just streams and streams of world-wide friendships that he’d made with his travels.”

“It’s heart-warming, its shown us just how wonderful young people can be.”

Karl had recently started a relationship with a British woman Mrs Jones described as his “one and only”.

Mrs Jones had talked with her since his death and said she was “distraught”.

Karl grew up in Te Awamutu and moved to Auckland to study civil engineering after high school.

Before he moved to London he travelled the world. He lived in Australia for a year and spent a year backpacking around South America “on a shoestring,” Mrs Jones said.

“That was him, he was a free spirit.

“He was really incredibly independent, but he could relate to anybody across the board, it didn’t matter who you were or what you were, everybody warmed to him.”

Karl was a keen sportsman, and played rugby and golf at a regional level as a schoolboy.

He was the type of man who was successful at everything he tried, Mrs Jones said.

“He was very humble about what he achieved.”

The family would be having a funeral in Te Awamutu when Mrs Jones and Karyn returned from London with Karl’s ashes.

Treasure hunt hits NZ shores A treasure-hunt phenomenon sweeping the world has come to Whangarei thanks to a generous but anonymous donor.

Hundreds of Whangarovians are taking part in a new Facebook sensation in which followers go on a treasure hunt to find money hidden in public places.

After three days of extensive searching, two Whangarei women were the first “hunters” to team up and uncover a hidden stash of cash. The $100 in a small plastic bag was covered by shells beneath the HMNZS Canterbury propeller near Kissing Point.

The man behind the Facebook Page “Find our cash Whangarei” said he saw a news item on the phenomenon on television last Sunday and decided to share the excitment in his home town by doing something similar.

“We are not filthy stinking rich and we don’t have oodles of money. We did this to create a bit of a buzz around town and get people out and about in our great city,” said the man, who wanted to remain anonymous.

■ WELLINGTON HIGH COURT

Protection orders ‘need to be enforced’

By Derek Cheng anD PatriCe Dougan Protection orders need to be robustly enforced if they are to protect the lives they are supposed to, a family violence support group says.

It comes as police vowed to review their actions following the sentencing of Wellington man Rajeshwar Singh, 47, who stabbed his wife to death while he was on bail for breaching a protection order.

Singh was handed a mandatory life sentence with a minimum non-parole period of 16 years, and a concurrent sentence of three months’ jail for breaching two protection orders, in the High Court in Wellington yesterday.

The taxi driver broke into his wife Sarwan Lata’s Woodridge home in November and stabbed her to death after avoiding the home’s new locks and an elaborate warning system of vases and chairs that a fearful Ms Lata had laid out by the front doors.

She was so afraid of Singh that she reportedly slept with a

knife under a pillow and a meat cleaver under her bed.

Police had a long history with the couple, investigating several claims of family violence over a 10-year period.

Yesterday Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Leitch said police would look at whether they should have done anything dif-

ferently.

“It’s hard to look back and say if something different had been done, it would have had a different outcome. I don’t know,” he said.

“We’ve got to remember, at the end of the day, a protection order is a piece of paper, and it requires the will of all to make

sure people adhere.” Jill Proudfoot, director of family violence support group Shine, said protection orders were a “useful tool”, but needed to be enforced consistently and “severely enough to be a disincentive”.

Protection orders were unlikely to work with abusers like Singh _ who was bailed after making 38 abusive and threatening phone calls to Ms Lata in 26 minutes _ who show such obsessive behaviour, she said.

“She [Ms Lata] would have been probably pretty dismayed that he was granted bail on condition that he didn’t contact her or go to her house, because there was very low likelihood that he would take any notice of that.” The sentence was criticised by the Sensible Sentencing Trust, which said it “failed to condemn Singh’s actions and sends the wrong message to the New Zealand public”.

Spokeswoman Ruth Money called for any murders committed while on parole, bail or while a protection or trespass order was in force, to automatically qualify for a life-without-parole

Harawira should be wary of Dotcom Coen Lammers EDITOR

K

im Dotcom has claimed his first real victim in New Zealand politics.

The former minister and mayor of Auckland was yesterday found guilty of a false electoral return during the 2010 Auckland mayoral campaign.

Mr Banks was found guilty of asking Mr Dotcom of splitting a $50,000 donation so it could be recorded as anonymous.

Looking back on Mr Banks’ long political career and his achievements this appears to be a minor crime, but enough to stop any political future.

His lawyers were yesterday appealing for a discharge without conviction, but whatever the sentence may be, Mr Banks’ long career is in tatters.

It seems to be a poor return on his investment for Mr Dotcom, as Mr Banks was unsuccessful in his bid for Auckland mayor and no longer plays a part around the cabinet table.

It is intriguing that the German, his estranged wife and his bodyguard all testified against Mr Banks, who appeared to have a very vague memory of his encounters with Mr Dotcom.

The only answer can be that the bored millionaire just loves throwing his weight around in his adopted country, no matter the fall-out.

Now that Mr Banks is slipping out the back door, Mr Dotcom will have his eye on other targets, starting with his new BFF (best friend forever) Hone Harawira and Laila Harre.

The Mana-Internet Party coalition has real potential to upset the election applecart, but you have to keep in mind what Mr Dotcom’s real intentions are.

Mr Harawira will revel in the financial benefits and the avalanche of publicity that seems to come with Mr Dotcom, but he must be taking stock, watching Mr Banks leave court in disgrace.

He must be wary that the German is only interested in furthering his own personal cause and any politician who gets close enough may also become collateral damage.

YOUR VIEW Education With respect to Peter Livingstone’s article on Investing in Educational Success, there are some important facts that he appears to be unaware of or has simply overlooked.

We know that the quality of teaching and leadership are the biggest in-school contributors to educational achievement.

So it was great news when the Prime Minister announced the $359 million investment back in January.

It was actually part of last month’s 2014 Budget. But we wanted to get moving on it as soon as possible because this initiative is going to deliver some real results in terms of helping lift the educational achievement of our kids. So we got the idea out early.

We delivered the commitment for funding and explained the outline, but didn’t want to produce the completed design.

CRUMB

Instead, we invited the sector to sit down and help with that.

I set up the Cross Sector Forum when I became the Minister of Education and value it greatly. We meet regularly across a broad range of education matters, but this particular piece of work needed a dedicated focus.

I asked the Ministry of Education to get together a working group that represented a whole lot of people, including teachers, principals and boards of trustees.

They got on board and worked to help us shape it. I’m very grateful for the expertise and experience they’ve brought to the table.

This week I’ve released the report of that group and we’re moving on to the next steps.

Again, the same people from the sector will remain closely involved as we work towards putting this in place from next year.

by David Fletcher

As the PPTA said this week the consultation over IES was comprehensive, robust and genuine. That is exactly how we set out for it to be and what has happened.

I’m excited about Investing in Educational Success and its potential. Parents should be too, along with everyone else who has a stake in our young people.

It offers huge opportunity and I would hope Tinwald School takes that up as part of a community of schools.

I’d encourage everyone to read the working group report – it’s on the ministry website www.minedu.govt.nz Hon Hekia Parata Minister of Education

Listen I think we should invest in hearing aids for some of our councillors. It seems they obviously have hearing problems AGAIN! Either that or they are going

out of their way to totally ignore ratepayers AGAIN! How can there be so much opposition to the bridge location, and they won’t even consider exploring other options. How can it possibly proceed?

Giving our children a Boost

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Does Ashburton have a winter-time air pollution problem?

Yes 68%

Trevor Croy

ADVANCING ASHBURTON

A

little over a year ago one of our donors told us that they would like to see Advance Ashburton Community Foundation get involved with helping local children that need a boost to their literacy and numeracy.

That prompted us to undertake a preliminary study to establish how we could make a positive impact on local kids.

We spoke to several senior experienced educators and their advice was the same – focus on seven and eight-year-olds that are just under-achieving, and provide them with one-on-one tuition two or three times a week.

These are the children that could easily “fall through the cracks” in a large classroom and a “boost” at that stage could make all the difference to their futures.

Armed with these findings we set about to find a provider and the money to deliver the help.

We were very fortunate to find the Ashburton Learning Centre willing to extend their usual services (adult literacy and numeracy) to include children.

The centre created a programme using the proven Steps programme, they appointed a co-ordinator Angela Muckle, recruited and trained 14 volunteers and the programme has started in three primary schools in Ashburton (Allenton, Netherby and Tinwald).

Tinwald principal Peter Livingstone said: “Tinwald School was very keen to be part of this initiative because of the benefits for children. The programme is well organised and supported.

It targets seven and eight-yearolds who require extra tuition to accelerate their learning and keep them up with their peers.

“The learning programme is well researched and proven in New Zealand schools.

“This pilot project sees volunteers trained and working with two children on customised literacy programmes. The tutors are able to support and give feedback to their students and already they can see progress.

Behind the learning is a very well-organised support system and it makes working with the tutors in our school, an easy job.

“As a pilot project we hope to see this continue and be supported by the community, through the trust,” Mr Livingston said.

“The volunteer tutors, provided with laptop comput-

ers and workbooks, are now working with 36 of our young people and the early signs are that the programme is making a difference.

“The tutors are so proud of what the children are learning and tutors say the children’s faces just light up when they know they have improved and they get the positive feedback.”

Tutor Cath Gill said: “The kids just love doing this work.

One of my boys just loves doing his spelling, reading and word building and really enjoys doing any learning with words.

So much so, it’s hard to get him to have a break and play word games.

“In one of my sessions last week I organised a few revision exercises for my student as we were at the end of a workbook, he said it was fun and he had enjoyed his session.

“He also asked whether he could keep coming to sessions because he was worried that since he had finished the workbook he might not be able to go to sessions anymore!

“I reassured him that another book was on its way and that we would keep going with the tu-

toring and he was happy again.

Great isn’t it? They are all just such delights; all in different ways. I love working with these kids.”

To help fund the programme we have partnered with the Mackenzie Charitable Foundation who will share the financial contribution with us. The intention is that once the concept is proven then the programme will be offered to all primary schools in the Ashburton District.

Co-ordinator Angela Muckle said that “we know literacy is the key to academic success and every child has the right to quality education. It sounds simple; however, working towards this goal is a complex task”.

“We wanted to take on this challenge and support local schools with a literacy programme which aimed to accelerate the reading growth for children who find reading a bit tough.

“We have trained fantastic tutors who are passionate about helping children succeed. The tutors support the children with their learning and adapt the

sessions to suit each child.

“Last week when I was visiting a school it was the end of the session and as the children walked back to their class, one child turned back to the tutor with a big smile and said ‘I love Boost’. As the tutor and I smiled back, we both thought – this is so worth it!

“We are thrilled to be part of this project. Initially it seemed far too ambitious to work in three schools in the first year.

However, we got such a positive response from tutors that we were able to achieve this goal easily. The exciting thing is we are definitely on track to work with more schools in 2015.”

We are proud to be involved with the project.

It would not be possible without the Ashburton Learning Centre, the willingness of the schools to participate and the people who have volunteered to work with the children. And, best of all, we are seeing a boost to our children’s literacy.

Thank you to you all.

■ BRUSSELS

In brief

G7 leaders to meet Putin Western leaders will come faceto-face with President Vladimir Putin in Paris for the first time since Russia seized Crimea, after a blunt G7 warning that Moscow must stop destabilising Ukraine or face further sanctions.

Most of the leaders gathered for this week’s Group of Seven summit in Brussels will be heading to Paris ahead of today’s D-Day commemorations in Normandy, where they will rub shoulders with the Russian president.

Excluded from the G7 talks over Crimea, Putin yesterday reached out to the West saying he was ready to meet Ukraine’s president-elect, Petro Poroshenko.

“I don’t plan to avoid anyone,” Putin said.

The Russian president also signalled his willingness to sit down with US President Barack Obama, but scathingly dismissed claims of military intervention in Ukraine.

“It is his choice, I am ready for dialogue,” Putin said, before launching into a jibe about the US invasion of Iraq.

“Proof ? Let’s see it!” he said.

“The entire world remembers the US secretary of state demonstrating the evidence of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, waving around some test tube with washing powder in the UN Security Council.”

Obama has shown little sign he wants to sit down with Putin, having condemned Russia’s “dark tactics” in Ukraine in a hawkish speech in Poland reminiscent of Cold War times.

French President Francois Hollande, who will meet the Russian and US leaders separately in Paris, has said “dialogue and de-escalation must be encouraged”.

Putin is also slated to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron, who said

Mounties in man-hunt Scores of Canadian police are scouring the woods in the eastern province of New Brunswick, hunting for a man believed to have shot dead three officers and wounded two others in a brazen attack. Residents were told to lock themselves up inside their homes in Moncton, the province’s largest city as police searched for the alleged shooter, 24-year-old Justin Bourque, who was described as armed and dangerous. On what appears to be his Facebook page, the suspect posted extracts from a song by American heavy metal band Megadeath just before the shooting.

Assad wins ‘non-election’ Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has won a new seven-year term with nearly 90 per cent of the vote but Washington says the “nonelection” has changed nothing and activists say it will spell only more war. Tens of thousands took to the streets in government-held areas even before the results were announced yesterday, waving portraits of Assad and the official Syrian flag. Celebratory gunfire erupted in the capital and in loyalist areas across Syria. At least 10 people were killed as the bullets fell back to earth, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Death sentences

German Chancellor Angela Merkel: “The main thing is to be constructive”.

he would deliver a similar message of dialogue.

After talks yesterday, a Group of Seven statement said Russia must recognise the results of Ukraine’s May 25 presidential election, won by tycoon Petro Poroshenko, stop destabilising the country and withdraw Russian troops from the border.

Failing that, the G7 - Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the United States were ready to “intensify targeted sanctions and to implement significant additional restrictive measures ... should events so require.”

Merkel, however, tempered

the message by saying European leaders would “take stock” of Russian actions at an endJune summit.

She said “the main thing is to be constructive,” with further sanctions only if there is “no progress whatsoever.”

The G7 talks wrap up with a focus on the outlook of the global economy - where once again there is no escaping the Ukraine crisis.

“The use of energy supplies as a means of political coercion or as a threat to security is unacceptable,” a draft communique on today’s session reads.

“The crisis in Ukraine makes

ap photo

plain that energy security must be at the centre of our collective agenda,” it said.

The European Union depends on Russia for about 30 per cent of its gas supplies, with half of that transiting via Ukraine.

Russia turned off the taps in 2006 and 2009 in previous disputes with Ukraine, causing huge disruption in Europe, and has threatened to do so again if Kiev does not pay its bills.

The answer has to be a “step change” in policy, leading to diversification of supply to reduce dependence on Russian gas and also to help meet climate change goals.

China has sentenced nine people to death on terrorism-related charges in its ethnically divided western region of Xinjiang, state media says, as authorities crack down following several deadly attacks. Multiple courts in Xinjiang sentenced 81 suspects on various terror-related charges, statebroadcaster CCTV said yesterday.

In the past year Xinjiang - home to the mostly Muslim Uighur minority - has seen an increase in violent clashes, which Beijing blames on organised terrorist groups seeking independence for the region. - AFP

Ferry victim found The body of a victim of South Korea’s ferry disaster has been found kilometres away from the sunken vessel, rescuers say, fuelling fears that some of the deceased may never be found. Since the 6,825-tonne Sewol ferry sank off the southwest coast on April 16, 289 bodies have now been recovered, leaving 15 unaccounted for. The ship was carrying a total of 476 people - mostly high school students on a school trip.

Tiananmen repressed

‘Others forgot as well’, Harris trial hears

China’s state censors have scrubbed the internet of references to commemorations of the Tiananmen crackdown including a huge vigil in Hong Kong, extending a campaign of repression that has seen dozens of critics detained.

Organisers said a record 180,000 people filled Hong Kong’s Victoria Park for the gathering, the only major commemoration on Chinese territory of the 25th anniversary of the events of June 4, 1989.

The assault on pro-democracy protesters, during which hundreds of unarmed civilians - by some estimates, more than 1000 - were killed, remains highly sensitive in the Communist nation.

A former TV presenter has told a court that Rolf Harris should not be accused of lying after forgetting a game show appearance in the 1970s because she cannot recall being in the programme either.

Sue Cook, a 65-year-old writer and broadcaster who appeared in the Star Games series two or three times, said celebrities were “bussed in” to a recre-

ation area, and the city or town was “immaterial”.

She took to Twitter after seeing coverage of Harris’s indecent assault trial on Sky News.

Harris had told the jury at London’s Southwark Crown Court that he had never been to Cambridge until four years ago, but it later emerged that he had appeared in a Star Games show in the city in 1978.

One alleged victim claimed that the entertainer had grabbed her bottom when she was waitressing at an event there in 1975, although prosecutors say she may have got the date wrong.

“I said to my husband ‘Gosh, that’s not fair - I wouldn’t have remembered it was Cambridge either’,” Ms Cook said.

“I don’t think he can be ac-

cused of lying because I can’t remember it.

“I was a participant in that game show but I wouldn’t have known it was Cambridge either.”

In cross-examination by Sasha Wass QC, she admitted that she would not “swear blind” under oath that she had not been somewhere for work.

■ STOCKTON MINE

In brief

Nerves on edge in Westport

Westport’s Stockton Mine

“Members up there have been waiting for an announcement for quite some time. They are probably feeling anxious.”

In February, Bathurst Resources, which has delayed

starting its proposed Denniston mine, cut 29 Buller jobs, and last year cement company Holcim shed 17.

Holcim is building two 30,000-tonne import terminals elsewhere in New Zealand and, when complete, will close the Cape Foulwind factory with the loss of 120 jobs. A Holcim spokesman confirmed the company would leave Westport in two years.

Buller Mayor Garry Howard said he thought the Coast faced a tough time over the next 18 months to two years, but it would rebound.

“The community is a bit on the anxious side. They are really saying, ‘what does the future hold’.

“Stockton is the important producer for Solid Energy.

Without production coming out of there, there’s no Solid Energy. It’s the jewel in their crown.”

FMA keeping quiet The Financial Markets Authority is refusing to disclose who paid what in its $22 million Strategic Finance settlement and says this confidentiality is appropriate.

Strategic Finance’ directors and its auditors BDO Spicers will pay $22 million after reaching a settlement with the FMA and the failed firm’s receivers. The settlement announced yesterday will see another 5c in the dollar paid out to the finance company’s secured investors, who were owed more than $360 million when the company went into receivership. The further payout will mean that total amount returned to secured investors by the end of the year will amount to 15 cents in the dollar.

The danger with low inflation is that if consumers and businesses believe they are in for a long period of low pricing, spending and investment is delayed. This can trigger a downward spiral and can be dangerous for an economy.

World dairy prices have dropped further in this week’s GlobalDairyTrade auction and are now at their lowest level in over a year. The 4.2 per cent drop was the eighth consecutive drop, with rennet casein and whole milk powder seeing the biggest falls of 10.2 per cent and 8.5 per cent respectively.

Whole milk powder is the most important group for NZ and is the product we sell the most of. This latest development has increased fears that the forecast milk price forecast could drop further for the 2014/15 season.

Last month Fonterra announced that next seasons forecast farmgate milk price would be $7 per kilo of milk solids down from this seasons record of $8.40 (also revised down from $8.65). This represents a $2.3 billion decline in dairy farmer income which equates to 1% of GDP.

Data indicates market recovery his week there has been a lot of data releases which have pushed and pulled markets.

US stocks pushed to new highs this week with both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones indexes breaking records.

The data released in the US was a mixed bag, but largely pointed to a continued economic recovery. Information from the Commerce Department show that growth in service and nonmanufacturing companies has picked up.

The Federal Reserve also commented that most regions of the US are continuing to grow at a moderate pace. Orders for goods produced in US factories rose 0.7 per cent for April which was above analyst expectations.

Auto sales figures for May in the US were better than expected and hit a nine year high.

May is traditionally a strong month for vehicle sales in the US, but this was a particularly good result largely because of such a slow down over the winter period and five weeks of good weather.

Vehicle sales are a useful economic indicator as they measure major purchases, are reported quickly and are not revised once released.

The news that has dominated market sentiment this week is the European Central Banks meeting. The European bloc is struggling to avoid going into a

Westport residents are on tenterhooks as they wait for news of the proposed reorganisation at the Stockton coalmine, amid whispers of hundreds more job losses.

It has been a black few years for the Buller town, which is also facing the closure of the cement factory.

Stockton and Holcim Cement are the two biggest employers in Westport.

Solid Energy yesterday refused to comment on speculation that hundreds of jobs could be at risk, saying it will outline a “reorganisation proposal” to Stockton staff members from about 1pm tomorrow.

Chief executive Dan Clifford will be in Westport to deliver the news.

Stockton employs 561 people, 143 fewer than when owner Solid Energy hit the skids al-

most two years ago when the coal price plummeted.

In addition, hundreds of contractors’ jobs have already gone at the mine; best estimates put the total job losses to date at 340.

“There is concern through everyone in the community because we know how important the Stockton Mine is to all the businesses in Westport and the wider region,” West CoastTasman MP Damien O’Connor said. “Whatever happens up there will affect the railways, engineering and all the contractors. It has a huge impact.

“Obviously people are concerned about possible cuts which might extend to another couple of hundred,” Mr O’Connor said.

Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union West Coast area organiser Garth Elliott said he did not know what to expect.

This photo ran on May 30 and we were keen to know who the people were.

We still have some gaps, but we did find out that the boy in the glasses is Thomas Stowell and to the left of him is brother James, with their pet lambs.

The adult overseeing events is dad John Stowell, and he and wife Joyce are still on the family farm in Methven.

Thomas still lives locally and James is in Dunedin.

■ EMAIL ENCRYPTION

Keeping it secure

The volume of email cloaked in encryption technology is rapidly rising as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other major Internet companies try to shield their users’ online communications from government spies and other snoops.

Google and other companies are now automatically encrypting all email, but that doesn’t ensure confidentiality unless the recipients’ email provider also adopts the technology.

In an analysis released this week, Google Inc. said that about 65 per cent of the messages sent by its Gmail users are encrypted while delivered, meaning the recipient’s email provider also supports the technology.

That’s up from 39 per cent in December.

Incoming communiques to Gmail are less secure. Only 50 per cent of them encrypted while in transit, up from 27 per cent in December.

Encryption reduces the chances that email can be read by interlopers. The technology transforms the text into coding that looks like gibberish until it arrives at its destination.

Google and other Internet services rely on a form of encryption known as Transport Layer Security, or TLS. Security experts say that encryption method isn’t as secure as other options.

But encryption that is tougher to crack is also more complicated to use.

Gmail, with more than 425 million accounts worldwide, was one of the first free email services to embrace TLS. Yahoo, Facebook and AOL also are encrypting their email services.

Microsoft Corp., whose stable of email services includes the

Outlook, MSN and Hotmail domains, has started encrypting many accounts as part of transition that won’t be completed until later this year.

Less than half of the correspondence from Hotmail accounts to Gmail wasn’t encrypted as of late May, Google said.

Security is even worse at Comcast.net and Verizon.net, where less than 1 per cent of the traffic coming to and from Gmail is encrypted, according to Google.

Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas said the Internet service provider plans to start encrypting email to and from Gmail accounts within the next few weeks.

Microsoft reiterated that it is still rolling out encryption in its free email services.

Verizon didn’t have an

immediate comment on Google’s statistics.

The Google report comes a year after the first wave of media reports about the US government’s intrusive techniques to monitor online communications and other Internet activity.

The National Security Administration says its online surveillance focused on people living outside the US as the agency tried to defuse threats of terrorism.

After lashing out at the government spying, Google and other Internet companies began encrypting email and other online services in an attempt to reassure users worried about their privacy.

The Internet companies are hoping their efforts to thwart gover nm e n t surveillance

will make Web surfers feel comfortable enough to continue to visit their services.

The companies make more money from online ads if their audiences keep growing.

Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who leaked documents revealing the online espionage, is among critics who believe the encryption methods deployed by Google and its peers are inadequate.

In a March 2014 appearance at a technology conference, Snowden described TSL encryption as “deeply problematic” because US government operatives merely needed to obtain a court order, or hack into data centres to obtain any users’ emails and other information.

Like many privacy activists, Snowden prefers “end-to-end” encryption, a more complicated step that requires a key to decrypt the information contained in emails.

These encrypted keys are only held by an email recipient, therefore making it virtually impossible for an unauthorised user to know what’s in the message.

This form of encryption takes more technical expertise to do right and can cause more headaches if passwords are forgotten, because they can’t be reset.

That raises the risk of the email being inaccessible even to the recipient.

Google hopes to make end-toend encryption easier by releasing an extension for its Chrome browser later this year.

The company released the coding for the planned extension to security specialists on Tuesday in an effort to detect any weaknesses before making it available to everyone. - AP

In brief Auckland doctor duped An Auckland doctor lost $300,000 after a Nigeria-based fraudster hacked into his father’s email account and, posing as the father, asked for the transfer of family money. The doctor, who works in emergency medicine, is fighting to get the cash back and wants to warn others to be vigilant about online security. Speaking about his ordeal during International Fraud Awareness Week he was angry and frustrated that he had been so easily duped.

More satellites . . .

For many people Internet access depends on various wires and cables laid across the ground, in the air or under the sea. In some places though that kind of infrastructure is just impossible.

That’s why Google reportedly plans to put 180 small, highcapacity satellites into orbit around the earth at lower altitudes than traditional satellites. The small satellites will be able to deliver Internet access to unwired regions of the globe. That’s going to be a lot of orbiting hardware that someone will have to track. - NZH

Doing it by degrees Australian researchers have created a thermometer that can measure temperature differences to 30 billionths of a degree in one second. The device works at room temperature by injecting red and green light into a highly polished crystalline disk. The two colours travel at slightly different speeds in the crystal, depending on the temperature of the crystal.

By concentrating and measuring the light the researchers are able to determine that temperature very accurately - there times more precisely than the best current thermometers.

■ RUGBY

In brief Kaino: big boots to fill Described as a “caged animal” by coach Steve Hansen, Jerome Kaino will be doing all he can to prove he is at home among the big beasts of the international game and make Kieran Read’s return to the No8 jersey a difficult one. Kaino’s ability and high standards he set himself before his move to Japan have put him straight back into the All Blacks mix on his return, and now the starting line-up following Read’s recovery from concussion. Kaino stated he had “some big shoes to fill”, but there is no doubt he will want it to be more than a oneoff. England are likely to take the direct approach, but Kaino has the strength and determination to turn that route into a cul de sac. - APNZ

Michalak gets the nod Mercurial French flyhalf Frederic Michalak is starting his first Test in a year, hasn’t played rugby in a month and is jet-lagged from a rushed trip to Brisbane. But Les Bleus coach Phillipe Saint-Andre fully expects the 31-year-old to grab his shot at redemption with both hands against the Wallabies on Saturday. It’s a tough ask with Michalak having just three days to prepare after flying in to Australia on Tuesday.

Eastmond in for England England have been forced to include one of their light-steppers for the midfield tumult. The inexperienced Kyle Eastmond has been pitched into second fiveeighth duties as England pondered how best to make up for some midfield absentees. Eastmond’s form has been such that he has been overlooked by his Bath club for the past month but has been elevated for his third test because of England’s selection problems.

Regular choice Billy Twelvetrees is still troubled by injury while Brad Barritt and Luther Burrell were midweek arrivals and unavailable for tomorrow’s opening test. - NZH

Force eye first finals With a maiden Super Rugby finals berth in reach, the Western Force are in foreign territory.

Three wins will guarantee the Force a finals berth, while even two could be enough to sneak into the playoffs.

‘Time to step it up’

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia and Methven enter the knockout stages of the Combined Country Cup rugby competition looking to be the first Mid Canterbury side to win it.

In the quarter-finals Rakaia host Glenmark and Methven are at home to Burnham-Dunsandel tomorrow with both camps knowing they need to step up a level.

Rakaia were top seeds last year and made it to the semi-finals before being outplayed at home by Lincoln - a fact coach Wayne Foxcroft hasn’t forgotten and hopes his side hasn’t either.

“If they haven’t learnt from last year’s loss and what it takes to win finals then the last nine weeks have been a waste of time.”

Rakaia reached the playoffs unbeaten but coach Wayne Foxcroft admitted his side hasn’t been playing superbly, but were doing enough to get the right results.

If they can do enough to advance another week he won’t be complaining, but with a date with either Southbridge or Lincoln looming if they advance to the semi-finals Foxcroft wants to see a step up.

“The best game we played was against Southbridge, but the rest have been a bit stop-start so we are still after that 80-minute game and we’ll need to get close to it in the finals.

“To go through unbeaten and then lose this week means it was all for nothing. It’s the top four inches now that will get you to the finals.”

Aiding the cause is experience and Rakaia welcomes back some key contributors from injury for their quarter-final clash against Glenmark, including Kody Nordqvist and Mark Andrew, while Jon Sharp is also available after a two week suspension.

Tevita Vi and Nathan Fridd were still under injury clouds.

Two-time beaten finalists Methven return to the top eight after missing out last year, but will need a big turnaround from their last

performance if they are to advance any further through the finals.

Methven were lacklustre in the last round, upset at home by Prebbleton, a result coach Dale Palmer hopes served as a wakeup call ahead of the knockout clash with Burnham-Dunsandel.

“It just wasn’t good enough.

“Whether it’s week one or a final you need to front up. We failed to and were out played by a hungrier opposition. It was maddening to see a team that had been going so well play so bad.”

After the shock loss, and a serve from the coaches, Methven will be determined to turn things around against Burnham-Dunsandel, with the amalgamation side steadily improving throughout the season.

Methven will also be keen to send off captain Simon Fleetwood with a win, with the prop playing his last game of the season before heading off to Scotland to tie the knot.

It will also be Davey Maw’s last run in the combined competition before he heads overseas for two weeks.

Methven are without Gary Redmond (dislocated elbow) and lock Andrew Cunneen returned to Australia during the week, but may return before season’s end, while flanker Richard Webby returns from his two week suspension.

In the other quarter-finals section two winners Waihora host Darfield and Lincoln are at home to defending champions Southbridge, two weeks earlier than the sides have met in the last two years playoffs, with Southbridge winning the last two cup finals against Lincoln.

The other three Mid Canterbury sides all head north in the bottom 10 playoffs. Celtic are away to a Prebbleton side still buzzing after taking down Methven last week.

Southern are away to Kaiapoi with both sides coming off confidenceboosting wins while Hampstead has a chance to double its win tally against the winless Ohoka.

West Melton meets Oxford and Ashley host Saracens.

College 1st XV ready for toughest assignment

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College face arguably the toughest trip on the calendar in the Crusaders Secondary Schools’ Rugby Competition tomorrow.

They depart this morning on a long haul to Blenheim to take on defending champions Marlborough Boys’ College.

Buoyed by back-to-back wins on the road, College head north confident they can make it threein-a-row, but not quite bold enough to predict an upset.

“Marlborough will be a challenge, there is no doubt about it,” College 1st XV coach Ian Patterson said. “We stepped up against Nelson and showed we can dig pretty deep so I’m confident we can give a good account of ourselves.”

Marlborough may be higher on the ladder but are coming off a 16-17 loss to rivals Nelson in the replay of last year’s final and struggled past Waimea in the wet, Shirley by one point and St Thomas’ 21-13 prior to that - giving College more reason to

believe they can knock over the defending champions.

“We are in a good frame of mind after the win over Roncalli.

“We played a smart 70-minute game with good structure. It took a while to wear them down but the boys stuck to the task.”

Patterson believed if they could build on that performance with the intensity they showed against Nelson, they would be right in the hunt.

As for being a third straight away game, there were no fears of travel-weary legs.

“The travel side of things is just part and parcel of the competition. The boys are pretty adaptable and it doesn’t seem to faze them.”

Elsewhere the unbeaten competition leaders and Christchurch Boys’ High School host Burnside and the also unbeaten Nelson is at home to Lincoln.

St Bedes host Roncalli, Waimea are up against Rangiora and Shirley clash with Christ’s College. On Tuesday St Andrews meets Timaru Boys’ High School.

■ NETBALL

In brief

End of the road for Irene

By Dana Johannsen Veteran Silver Ferns shooter Irene van Dyk has announced she is stepping down from international netball.

The world’s most capped shooter made the shock announcement yesterday after informing Silver Ferns management she did not feel she was playing at the level required for selection for the Commonwealth Games.

The former South African international, who made her debut for New Zealand in 2001, has had a quiet trans-Tasman league season with the Pulse, averaging just 27 goals per game - well down on her volume in previous seasons.

“I needed to be true to myself, I have always said I would step down when I felt the timing was right.

“This year (Commonwealth Games) and next year (Netball World Cup) are the most significant netball events on our calendar, and if I can’t be better than the best for the Silver Ferns, then it’s my time to finish now,” van Dyk said.

“I have really high expectations of myself and my match statistics over the past few months in the ANZ Championship are simply not good enough to justify taking my game to the international level.”

Van Dyk’s declaration comes seven weeks out from the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, where the Silver Ferns are the reigning gold medallists.

“I have full confidence in Wai and the girls and there’s no doubt in my mind they can win the gold medals.

“The Silver Ferns group has so much amazing talent and I know they will do the job!”

Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu says she understands and respects van Dyk’s decision.

“Playing at the elite level for 20 years is unheard of in the game of netball.

“Irene is one of the truly greats of the international game, she is the most capped player in the world and an incredible role model to all aspiring netballers.”

Van Dyk also concedes that her career wouldn’t have reached the heights it has without the unwavering support of husband Christie and daughter Bianca.

Netball New Zealand chief executive Hilary Poole said that van Dyk is an iconic figure not just in New Zealand, but in netball playing nations around the globe, inspiring a generation.

“Irene van Dyk has not only become a household name in New Zealand but is a leading

Marina Erakovic and doubles partner Arantxa Parra Santonja have been knocked out of the French Open in the quarter-finals after losing in straight sets. They were beaten 7-5, 6-3 by Czech Lucie Hradecka and Michaella Krajicek of the Netherlands.

Krajicek is a former doubles partner of Erakovic. Erakovic was hoping to reach a grand slam semifinal for just the second time in her career.

Canberra won’t want to hear it just yet, but the James Tedesco backflip could serve as a NRL blessing in disguise according to his manager Sam Ayoub. The Wests Tigers’ fullback reneged on an estimated $600,000-a-year deal with the Raiders just days before the round-13 deadline to remain with his mates. “I was sick in the guts, I was churning, my head was spinning, because I’ve got a lot of time for Ricky Stuart,” Ayoub said. But when asked if it could serve as a blessing in disguise as the Raiders are freed up to target several promising younger players elsewhere, Ayoub replied “there’s a lot of merit in that”.

Whilst retiring from the international game, van Dyk will

■ BASKETBALL

Basketball star Steven Adams spent yesterday morning training and meeting some young fans, just 24 hours after arriving home from the US. The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie has made training sessions with 50 future stars at the New Zealand Basketball Academy in Wellington a priority while he is home.

Head trainer Gavin Cross said it was just like old times having Adams back at training.

Most of the young players had known Adams for years and were excited to have him back for a week or so after his outstanding rookie season in the NBA. “Some of those kids were pretty excited, there was a bit of a queue afterwards for autographs and photos. He was really pleased too,” he said.

rybody,” Cross said. “He’s exactly the same as when he left, which is awesome to see because he’s obviously been in the spotlight over there and living the high life a bit.”

He said that when Adams left the training he said he was “off to his aunty’s house for a feed.”

NZBA coach Kenny McFadden said training with the academy was part of Adams getting “back in to routine”.

“He’s definitely happy to be home.”

He is thought to be splitting his time at home between Wellington and Rotorua.

His arrival back in New Zealand after a disappointing loss for the Thunder to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals.

Adams revealed this week that he would not be playing for the Tall Blacks at this year’s

Basketball World Cup, focusing the NBA Summer League with the Thunder.

Joe Webb has played basketball with Adams since they were 13 and said it was great to be back in Wellington with him.

“It’s good to see him ... he’s one of my good mates. He hasn’t changed a bit, he’s just the same good dude.”

He said it was part of Adams’ character to want to spend his time at the NZBA with the young players.

“It’s just like him to give back to up-and-coming basketball players.”

He said the young players “went a bit harder” when Adams showed up.

Mr Webb, 20, has also been playing basketball in the US, and is hoping to be playing in the College League in August.

The Melbourne Storm are banking on Tohu Harris being Mr Fix-it with the Kiwi the latest to wear the problematic five-eighth jersey for their NRL clash with the Sydney Roosters. Harris will move from lock to No.6 for their Sunday afternoon clash at AAMI Park, partnering Ben Roberts who is covering for the injured Cooper Cronk. Following Gareth Widdop’s off-season departure, Roberts, Ben Hampton and Joel Romelo have all played five-eighth this season with each finishing injured or suspended.

Harris, 22, is no stranger to the role, a surprise choice there for the Anzac Test against Australia. He scored a first half try as the Kiwis led 18-12 at halftime before being overrun by the Kangaroos.

Messi ‘most valuable’ Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi remains the world’s most valuable footballer, even though his crown slipped this season, a market study shows. In its annual report on the player market, the Swiss-based CIES Football Observatory put Messi’s value at 216 million euros ($A324m). Even though Messi’s lower performance levels slashed 19 million euros from his market value, he was still worth almost twice as much as arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo, second in the ranking on 114 million euros. - AFP

Record EPL revenue The revenue generated by football clubs in the English Premier League struck a record $US4.23 billion ($A4.5b) in the 2012/13 season as the English topflight remained the world leader. An annual review conducted by consultants Deloitte shows that the revenues among the 20 Premier League sides swelled by $A300 million, with over 60 per cent of the growth driven by Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. Overall, the “big five” saw revenues increase 5 per cent.

■ SQUASH

Top players on court The Methven Squash Club hosts their annual open tournament this weekend.

While it is formally B and Below, being an open it attracts some top players, such as Methven club member Dan van der Salm’s brother Chris, an A1 player ranked 12th in New Zealand, who will be the top seed of the tournament.

He will have some competition from Christchurch’s Evans Chileshe (A2) and his teenage sons Temwa (B2) and Lwamba (B2) who played each other in the Linwood final last weekend.

The top draw is completed with local Mid Canterbury squash player Paddy Mulvihill (B1).

The 80 players in the draw are predominantly from the host club, with plenty of players from the other Mid Canterbury clubs. The tournament started Wednesday night, with games also played last night, tonight and all day tomorrow culminating with the finals.

After the open the Methven club begin their Last Post League that will run up until their club championships.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Whether on the work, home or relationship front this is a day for taking those tentative steps to taking your defences down and staying in the moment.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The easiest way to avoid misunderstandings is to avoid assumptions, spend more time listening than talking.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Sensing the huge income opportunities over the coming weeks the money gods feel that you need to spend extra time back at the drawing board.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With Mercury getting ready to open the door to the past and to giving unsaid words a voice, ensure communication lines are open.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) No matter how busy your day, find time to zone out, let your thoughts wander and get lost in daydreams and in your imagination.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The Moon’s monthly visit to your sign is always a time to not only gain some personal perspective, but some relationship perspective as well.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Take a slow and patient approach to professional matters, choosing to measure twice and cut once, holding off making a move if you can.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With life set to become more professionally focused from next month, do what you can to keep the spirit of adventure alive.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) This is not the day to rush money matters or make impulsive moves you might regret. If it’s a good idea today it will still be a good idea tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Mercury, planet of communication is bringing a chance and a need to stay in the moment and to ensure communication lines are open.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) As busy and important as things are on the work front, this is not the kind of day to lose your cool or to rush or push things.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) On the eve of the second Mercury retrograde phase of 2014 back up important files, documents or information. Murphy’s Law is coming into effect.

Enforced break a positive for Cruden Aaron Cruden strides it out at All Blacks practice at Trusts Stadium in Auckland this week, in preparation for tomorrow’s first test against England.

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Steve Hansen has no doubt that Aaron Cruden can quickly discover the form which helped seal the All Blacks’ perfect year in 2013.

For him, the little Chiefs’ first-five cemented his place last weekend once he came through his first full game since breaking his thumb.

The fact that Cruden called his performance in the defeat to the Waratahs his worst ever for the franchise meant little.

Hansen, who watched Cruden kick the winning sideline con-

version in the final act of the All Blacks’ year in Dublin, will back himself to de-clutter the 25-year-old and get the best out of him against England at Eden Park.

Halfback Aaron Smith, meanwhile, said the six-week break will probably do his mate from Manawatu the world of good.

“He hasn’t played much rugby of late, if anything that’s probably a good thing for us because he’ll be fresh,” Smith said.

“He’s hungry and I see that as really good for us.

“He plays a lot of rugby for the Chiefs and he trains a lot and he

comes in here pretty banged up.

“He’s already had six weeks off and that’s actually really good for us. I see him this weekend really biting at the bit to get back to what he was and I have no doubt that he can do that.”

Cruden is seen as a much better starter than impact player, as Hansen admitted yesterday.

It can be seen as a curse, but Barrett’s versatility and ability to impose himself on proceedings once he takes the field gives the reserves bench a much better balance.

Hansen, who places great store on loyalty in terms of se-

lection, said Cruden’s position on the pecking order behind Dan Carter was a significant factor in his selection but not the only one.

“One, he’s the incumbent for a start, and two, we think he starts better than coming off the bench,” he said.

“Three, he’s had a couple of games under his belt and he’s back to his cheeky self around here.

“We think he’s ready to go.

He’s a good reader of the game, a good organiser and I believe he is comfortable now in that role.

think he’ll do a great job.

“There was a big contest between all three of them,” Hansen said of his options for the pivotal position.

“Colin Slade has made some great strides and there is another bloke on extended leave, he’s due to come back, and other guys around the country are playing well so all of a sudden we’ve got some heat on there.

“First-five is a difficult position to play in the biggest arena.

You’ve got to have composure.

Both of the young guys we’ve got in this team at the moment are showing that.”
