Five things that may interest you

Ferrari stolen A $2.5 million Ferrari once owned by Princess Diana’s boyfriend Dodi Fayed and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has been stolen from a Melbourne repair shop. Thieves broke into the Braeside shop on Friday at about 3.40am and took off with two cars - a $100,000 Ferrari 328 and the prized, ruby red 1972 Daytona.

The Daytona, whose star-studded pedigree makes it irreplaceable, was in the shop for minor repairs after the Motorclassica exhibition in Melbourne. It had only been fully restored three weeks ago. Those who have spent time behind its wheel include British Formula One legend James Hunt and Roger Waters before business magnate Mohamed Al-Fayed bought the car in the 1990s. The current owner of the car, restaurant owner Enzo Ceravolo, bought the car in the UK five years ago.

Key 48th hottest leader Prime Minister John Key says he “can’t help being eye candy”. This week Mr Key was ranked the 48th hottest leader in the world in the online Hottest Heads of State list.

Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the king of Bhutan, topped the list, just edging out photogenic Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. Mr Key is in the top 25 per cent and edges the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Francis and Angela Merkel of Germany. On More FM yesterday, Mr Key said the 47 leaders in front of him must be “pretty excited”.

“I can’t help being eye candy. It’s just one of those things.

It’s the way it goes.” When asked if he was disappointed Russian President Vladimir Putin was ranked ahead of him, Mr Key said: “There’s quite a few above me, to be fair.”

Fish have X-ray vision

Newsroom Call 03 307-7958

Superman can use his X-ray vision whenever the need arises.

It turns out that in real life, some fish and amphibians can do something nearly as super when it comes to their sight.

Researchers say these animals, when navigating murky freshwater environments like rivers and streams, can turn on an enzyme in their eyes that supercharges their ability to see infrared light, sharpening their vision in the muck and mire.

The enzyme, called Cyp27c1, is related to vitamin A, which was already known to promote good vision, particularly in low light.

I don’t want to go to bed!

A Netflix survey has discovered what parents worldwide already knew: children will say just about anything to push back bedtime. The best excuses from kids, according to the 7000 parents interviewed, ranged from hating the insides of their eyelids to dying of thirst. Some tugged on mum and dad’s heartstrings with flattery to get their way, while others suddenly forgot how to put on their PJs. Aussie parents were the least likely to put up with bedtime delay tactics, while UK parents had to bribe their kids to sleep, the survey found. And US children took the pre-sleep tantrums to the next level - with battle-weary parents across the Pacific taking up to 20 minutes to get their tykes into bed.

Netflix claims to have an answer to the dilemma. It has teamed up with DreamWorks to create 5 Minute Favourites, mini shows to be used as a bargaining tool by parents for children who request “just five minutes more”.

AB win problem for Prince Prince Charles is anxious about what he will say to Wallaby-supporters in the wake of their World Cup defeat when he heads across the ditch next week. The Prince of Wales congratulated the All Blacks on bringing home the trophy in Wellington yesterday. Thousands of fans gathered in the sun outside parliament to cheer the team on during the final leg of their World Cup victory tour. But Charles said the boys in black had created a slight problem for him. “We’ve just travelled 11,683 miles to come here to congratulate the best rugby team in the world,” Prince Charles said.

“What the hell am I going to say to the Aussies next week?” The comment was met with a roar of cheering from the crowd, and the All Blacks were seen laughing and clapping behind him.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Stop smoking services busy

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two Mid Canterbury schools have students in a Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) funded smoking cessation programme due to tobacco addictions.

A CDHB spokesperson said Ashburton Intermediate School (AIS) and Ashburton College have been using the service Aukati KaiPaipa programme for several of their students.

Aukati KaiPaipa work in some high schools in Canterbury where the school has identified smoking as an issue and in very rare cases they work with younger children where there is parental consent and support from the school, she said.

There are currently three stu-

dents at Ashburton College completing a 12-week programme with the service.

Earlier this week a 12-year-old Ashburton Intermediate School student was suspended for sharing nicotine lozenges that he received during a session with an Aukati KaiPaipa programme counsellor.

AIS acting principal Judy Jemmett said the school followed the correct procedure in dealing with the child.

This was the first time an Aukati KaiPaipa counsellor had attended the school and there was more than one child using the service, however, she could not say how many were involved.

Students who had needed the service in the past had used it offsite, she said.

The boy’s mother declined to comment when contacted by the Ashburton Guardian.

However, she said there would be a meeting held on Monday to decide whether her son would be allowed back at school.

Ministry of Education head of sector enablement and support Katrina Casey said AIS were following school policies and had been continuing to take advice from health professionals in relation to this incident.

“Smoking cessation products are not available to minors without parental consent and the advice of a health professional, and the school has complied with this.

“The smoking cessation product was not given to the student by an employee of the school.”

In some cases, at the request of parents, schools allowed their premises to be used by health professionals to meet with individual students during school hours, she said.

Those health professionals were not employees of the school, or managed by them, but were engaged by parents.

All schools were responsible for the health and safety of their students, and were responsible for making their own decisions whilst being informed by their policies and relevant legislation.

The CDHB spokesperson said the Aukati KaiPaipa programme sometimes gave gum and lozenges to children where there was addiction and parental consent had been granted.

Advice was always provided to

the parent and child on how to use the gum and lozenges, including that they were medicines not to be shared, she said.

“A situation where someone had tried a lozenge or gum won’t cause harm but it would be a concern if use was prolonged.”

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said the student welfare team at his school worked with a number of organisations in relation to different aspects of student wellbeing including promoting a smokefree environment.

There were at times several students who used Aukati KaiPaipa and other programmes to help them stop smoking, he said.

He could not say what age the pupils were but they had the full support of the school.

■ ALPINE REGIONAL RALLY

It’s crunch time for pilots and their planes Eyes will be cast skywards in Ashburton this weekend as some of the best pilots from around the South Island compete for places in the New Zealand championships next year.

The Mid Canterbury Aero Club is playing host to the Alpine Regional Rally, with competition beginning yesterday and continuing throughout today. Pilots compete over a range of events, chasing a place in the nationals. And in the past several local pilots have made it through to the big event.

The Alpine Rally is one of five regional rallies held around New Zealand this month. Ashburton will also host the national championships.

For most of today the skies over the airport will be buzzing as one by one pilots and their aircraft will go through their paces. Viewing is free, with plenty of parking space around the perimeter of the airfield.

Trophies will be awarded at a dinner tonight before the visiting aircraft, with pilots lining up, rolling and taking off on Sunday morning.

In brief

■ ASHBURTON FIRE SERVICE

Fireworks cause no problems

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ashburton residents were wellbehaved on Guy Fawkes night with fire crews in the district not having to attend any callouts.

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Alan Burgess said over the past few years the public education and aware-

ness had helped to decrease the number of fireworks related incidents around Guy Fawkes.

“I think people are quite concerned about the safety factors and I think they’re being pretty careful with the fireworks.”

On Thursday night fire crews around the country attended numerous fires caused by fire-

works but there were no callouts in Mid Canterbury.

“It’s definitely a positive thing for us as a fire service”, Mr Burgess said.

There had been other occasions in the past where there were no callouts but often they had to attend a few.

Earlier this week the Ashbur-

ton Volunteer Fire Brigade and Ashburton Rural Fire Force attended a blaze caused by fireworks igniting grass on Hepburns Road.

Mr Burgess said there could be a few callouts this weekend, but he had been pleased with the safety of people on Thursday night.

Teachers join hairiest month of year

By Caitlin PoRteR

caitlin.p@theguaRdian.co.nz

Mo Sistas and Mo Bros are joining force in Ashburton this month to raise awareness for men’s mental health. This year there’s a new way to do Movember – the challenge is to get active and move every day of Movember, 30 moves in 30 days is the goal.

Movember aims to tackle some of the biggest health issues facing New Zealand men – prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

People can still participate the “traditional” way, starting clean shaven and growing and grooming a moustache while raising funds and awareness for men’s health.

Teaching staff at Ashburton College have taken it upon themselves to participate in this year’s Movember. It has been done before but this year staff have a target of raising $1000 for men’s health, said teacher Ryan Walsh.

In previous years, businesses and other organisations had been very supportive and the group was hoping the same would happen this year, he said.

Men and women have joined in – with the women opting to get active and move each day.

Having shaved his 18-monthold beard off especially for the occasion, Mr Walsh is ready and willing to get growing.

An Ashburton man was given a trespass notice after he confronted a man about a dog. Sergeant Bryan Ennis said the man had gone to an Ashburton address at 4.20pm on Thursday and had a verbal altercation with the occupant because he believed their dog had bitten his wife.

Police were called to break up the argument and a trespass notice was issued.

Exams under way Nearly 150,000 high school students around the country will be participating in this year’s NZQA and New Zealand Scholarship exams. The exams started with Scholarship Drama yesterday morning and will continue until December 4. The first big exam will be NCEA Level 1 Mathematics which will be sat by more than 40,000 students on Monday morning.

Road renamed When it comes to changing the name of a road, Methven locals have had a win over officialdom.

The name on the road sign is Ledgerwoods Road, but locals know it is a continuation of Reynolds Road. And the Ashburton District Council agrees, the section of Ledgerwoods Road from State Highway 77 will now undergo a name change and Reynolds Road will now run from the highway through to River Road.

Name released Police have released the name of the man who died in a work accident at a goldmine in Southland on Thursday night. He was Mario Lelina, 30, from the Philippines.

Worksafe NZ would continue an ongoing investigation into the incident, police said. Emergency services were called to the site about 6.20pm on Thursday. It was reported a man had been involved in an accident while operating machinery at a goldmine. He suffered critical injuries as a result and later died. Police said the man’s next of kin have been told of his death.

■ MULTIPLE BIRTHDAYS

Guy Fawkes a significant date for Nelson family Guy Fawkes will be about more than fireworks for one Nelson family with three generations now celebrating their birthday on the same day.

Dave Rooney, his son Shayne and the latest addition Cullen were all born on November 5.

The coincidences don’t stop there though. Shayne’s wife Krystal, their daughter Isabelle, Krystal’s father and Shayne’s grandfather also share the same birthday, August 17.

Shayne said so many birthdays on the same days was “weird but exciting”.

Man trespassed

“We’re a bit creeped out,” he said. “It’s still sinking in.

“Not many people have heard of so many family birthdays on the same days so they’re a bit surprised when we tell them.

“Guy Fawkes has always been a good day for me with it being my birthday so now there’ll be even more celebration.”

He hoped all three generations would be able to celebrate together next year.

“It will be my 30th and Cullen’s first birthday so it will be a special day. We had three cakes at the last celebration with Krystal’s father

so we might have to do the same next Guy Fawkes.”

The family live in Nelson, while grandfather Dave lives in Hari Hari on the West Coast of the South Island.

Dave said Cullen’s birth was “very special”.

“My son now knows how I felt when he was born,” he said. “It’s very exciting.

“People seem to think it’s a bit spooky that we’re all born on the same day, and that there’s four generations with the same birthday through Shayne’s wife but we think it’s special.

“I’m going to go up to Hokitika and pick my other son up and then go up to Nelson to see them as soon as possible.”

Dave also hoped the three generations could celebrate together next year.

According to Statistics New Zealand’s birthday index, neither birthday is very popular nationwide.

November 5 is shared by 12,900 New Zealanders, the 106th most common birthday, while August 17 is shared by 12,600 New Zealanders, the 218th most common.

Emergency services were called to the scene of a crash in Rolleston yesterday. Police, fire and ambulance services attended the scene on State Highway 1 just south of Templeton. A southern fire communications spokesman said the accident happened just after 4.30pm. A police spokeswoman said those involved in the crash suffered minor to moderate injuries. She could not confirm how many vehicles were involved and the number of people caught up in the accident but said no one had been taken to hospital for treatment.

Yacht mystery A wreck of a yacht found on the sea floor of Picton Harbour may be a 1970s commercial vessel, police say. The wreck was found by the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) during a training exercise last Friday. After another inspection yesterday, police believe it’s a 1970s commercial fishing vessel called Black Prince believed to have been converted to a pleasure craft in the 1980s. - NZME

■ YEAR 12 PRIZEGIVING

Ashburton College picks 2016 leaders

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

After a rigorous selection process including speeches, interviews and voting, the 2016 head boy and girl for Ashburton College have finally been chosen.

During the school’s Year 12 prize giving on Thursday night principal Grant McMillan announced Gemma Duncan and Kerry Claydon-Wade will lead the school next year.

The two pupils would head into next year knowing they had the full support and respect of their peers and teachers, Mr McMillan said.

Gemma said she was speechless after the announcement, which came as a complete shock.

“I’m just really, really happy.”

She would strive to do her best to lead the school next year and work hard to encourage and support younger students.

Kerry was also really pleased but a bit nervous when he found

Ashley Van Staden was named as Year 12 top scholar for 2015.

out and said he wanted to do the best he could.

He wanted to make the most out of the opportunity because he knew that is what all the other candidates would have done.

The Year 12 student was in-

spired to take up the role by past head boys and girls.

Kerry would also like to work with Mount Hutt College’s 2016 head boy Dallas McLeod who wanted to teach other students the haka.

He hoped they could work together because the two schools have a close bond.

The selection process included speeches in front of the whole school and interviews with Mr McMillan, senior staff and the deputy mayor.

This year’s top scholar award was given to Ashley Van Staden who said he had worked very hard for the prize.

From the beginning of the year he had been striving to take out top scholar, he said.

In brief Dog attack An elderly couple have been attacked – and their pet Bichon dog killed – by a loose pit bull in Mt Maunganui yesterday. The couple, an 80-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man, were walking their dog in Grenada St, Arataki, when they were attacked by the pit bull. The pit bull attacked the couple’s dog and then attacked the man as he tried to separate them, police said. Nearby people ran to assist the man and were able to restrain the pit bull using wire until police arrived, just after 9am.

Teen killed in fall

The trip by an Ashburton delegation to Puyang, China, is gaining momentum with several working documents already signed and more likely to come.

■ SISTER CITY LINKS

Forging trade links with China

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mid-way through a whirlwind trip to China, Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said the Ashburton delegation of farming, business and civic leaders is forging valuable trade contacts.

Mr McKay left on the self funded trip earlier this week and yesterday from Ashburton’s sister city Puyang in the Heenan Province, said that the visit was gaining moment, with several working documents signed and more likely to come.

“We have identified businesses that are serious about working with the Ashburton District, machinery companies and

schools and we have formed a close relationship with the person in charge of trade with Puyang.

He is now travelling with us, so that shows they’re pretty interested in putting some horsepower into this,” Mr McKay said.

During the Puyang leg of the trip, the Ashburton delegation has been accompanied by the person he described as “the mayor’s boss”, the secretary general.

A visit was also made to a school that has close ties with both Mt Hutt College and Ashburton College. Large photos were displayed on walls at the school showing students with

teachers from each school and the students were delighted to point these out to the delegation, he said.

Mr McKay plans to invite the Puyang secretary general to visit Ashburton next year. This year is the 15th anniversary of the signing of sister city ties between Puyang and Ashburton.

The city is only 30 years old and has been built around the gas and oil industry. Farmers were relocated from the area to make way for the new city.

“There is wealth here but there are also people who are not so well off. In the middle of the city there is a street cleaner in a big truck; in the village down the

road women are sweeping the street with sticks and they are running out of food.”

The final stage of the trip will be to visit Fineboon Dairy Company in the Shaanxi Province.

This company is a partner in the New Zealand Dairy co-operative group that plans to build a goat milk factory in Ashburton.

Also part of the Ashburton delegation are Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley and Willie Leferink who is travelling for Federated Farmers. The group is travelling with local businesswoman Ling Mee Shing.

The team returns home on Wednesday.

Giving it their all in the name of sport

A Timaru teenager who died after falling through the roof of an arcade has been described as “cheeky” and “fun-loving”. Jordan Logan McKeown, 14, was playing with friends on an arcade roof at Caroline Bay in Timaru when he fell through a skylight about 7pm on Thursday night. Members of his family who spoke to NZME News Service said he was a “cheeky and fun-loving” boy who loved to skate. Detective Sergeant Greg Harrison said police understood Jordan was playing with friends on the roof of the facility. “The death is not being treated as suspicious and police have a number of witnesses yet to interview,” he said.

Bids on a 2015 Rugby World Cup All Blacks replica jersey signed by the team have already reached a cool $3590. The auction doesn’t close until next Thursday, so the jersey can be expected to sell for an even higher price.

They will be doing so with a low-percentage beer in hand after a special liquor licence was approved by the Hastings District Licensing Committee yesterday.

Police Alcohol Harm Prevention officer Sergeant Ray Wylie said there would be a lot of people disappointed if the celebration did not work out, as the Mob had come a long way to apply for the licence.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Hazardous cemetery trees cleaned up

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It will take two years and $10,000 to complete, but already a shaded strip of the Chertsey Methven Road is seeing the morning sun for the first time in years.

A row of tall, elderly conifers with tangled undergrowth have shaded the road for years, creating a traffic hazard during the winter.

The Methven Community Board

and residents have been battling for years to have the trees felled but the Ashburton District Council’s open spaces team was determined they wouldn’t be coming down. They were in the business of saving, not destroying, trees.

None of that pleased the people of Methven who wanted the trees gone and the winter ice hazard dealt with. Clearing the undergrowth, the council said, would

solve the problem.

Methven man John Harmer offered to fell the trees free of charge if he could harvest them for firewood, but the council still would not sign off on their removal.

Instead, council teams moved on site last week and began removing the dense undergrowth, work it plans to complete over a two-year period.

At Thursday’s council service

delivery committee meeting councillor Martin Nordqvist said the amount of undergrowth already cleared had made a significant difference in terms of the light coming through onto the road.

“It’s more open and the road looks better. Whatever gets done, it’s great. We’ve been asking for this for a long time and it’s good to be getting it done.”

Councillor Neil Brown was puz-

zled by the need to spread the low cost job over two years, but was told by open spaces manager David Askin that the work was outside his budget and he had no option but to spread it over two years.

Clearing the undergrowth was good, Mr Brown said, but without regular maintenance the area would quickly revert to an overgrown state.

New faces lead 2016 Multi Cultural Bite

By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

A new group is now at the helm of Ashburton’s favourite food festival, the Multi Cultural Bite.

The culinary event takes place on Waitangi weekend and this year saw its sixth instalment take place in downtown Ashburton.

Louise Duke has taken over as the event co-ordinator from Sue van den Heuvel and is joined by five other new committee members, as well as two from the previous committee.

Yvette Martin and Rose Townshend will take over as food coordinators, Mary Pearce and Earl John as the entertainment co-

ordinators and Thelma Bell and Chiyo Hunt as the volunteer coordinators.

A veteran event organiser, Ms Duke helps out with Ashburton’s Christmas in the Park, the New Life Church Women’s Ministry and other events around town and was excited to get involved with the Multi Cultural Bite.

“I was just approached and thought why not give it a go,” she said. “I’m quite pumped to get on with it.”

While still a few months away, things are already falling into place for Multi Cultural Bite 2016.

Ms Duke said there will be minimal changes but the entertain-

Members of the Multi Cultural Bite committee (from left) Thelma Bell, Yvette Martin, Mary Pearce, Chiyo Hunt, Rosemary Townshend and Louise Duke.

PHOTO SUPPLIED ment will include a band playing to give it a festival feel.

“We want to give it a fresh look.”

However, Ms Duke said it will be a challenge, given the time frame

and amount of work, but one she was looking forward to.

The big focus this year will be on the food, and already a lot of interest has been garnered from

the community.

Ms Duke said she would like to incorporate “a bit of Europe” and have some Italian, English and German food on offer.

Swing stars ready to wow crowds The golden era of swing will be recreated on the Ashburton Trust Event Centre stage tomorrow when the Glenn Miller Orchestra comes to town. Susan Sandys spoke to the orchestra’s main soloist Wendy Smith-Brune.

Glenn Miller Orchestra soloist Wendy Smith-Brune will never forget the time she met Frank Sinatra. It was awkward at first, but it ended well.

The American singer and musician will be in Ashburton tomorrow, to perform with the orchestra when it stages its last concert in a 22-location tour of New Zealand.

Ms Smith-Brune’s star-studded career began when she responded to word of an audition with Ray Charles. She was a classical flautist with no vocal experience, but was hired immediately and has been singing ever since.

She travelled the world with the genius of soul, and has worked as a back-up singer for Michael Bolton, Sheena Easton, Chaka Khan, Gloria Estefan, Aaron Neville and Barry White. Earlier this year she sang at rock star Rod Stewart’s birthday party in his Belle Air home, with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and regularly performs at the Oscars’ after party.

Among her highlights was meet-

ing Frank Sinatra, at the 100th birthday celebration of Irving Berlin at Carnegie Hall in 1988.

She was to perform on the evening as one of the Raelettes with Ray Charles and the Raelettes, and did not realise that later in the evening they would get to share the stage with Mr Sinatra. Taking advantage of a break in performance, she and a couple of the other Raelettes went down to Mr Sinatra’s dressing room.

With several bodyguards outside, the message was relayed to Mr Sinatra that someone was there to meet him. However, somehow he was expecting Ray Charles himself when he came out of his room, saying “Where is that son of a gun?”, before laying eyes on the women.

“My heart was pounding in that split second,” Ms Smith-Brune said. “He’s coming out and he thinks it’s Ray. It’s us, so I hope he will be alright with us, but he was beautiful, and very warm, I will never forget that moment.”

The Glenn Miller Orchestra’s female soloist Wendy Smith-Brune will bring some star quality to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre stage.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

She had a chat to the musical legend, and got some photos taken with him.

Ms Smith-Brune would no doubt have many a tale to tell from her performance career, but one she is happy to share for now was from when she first joined the Raelettes. As she went to go on stage her high heel got stuck in a crack. She walked on regardless, standing up to the microphone on the tips of her toes of her un-

shoed foot, this thankfully not being noticed by the audience due to her long gown.

Alton Glenn Miller was an American big band musician and composer in the swing era, and a best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943. His life came to a premature end when his aircraft disappeared in bad weather over the English Channel, as he travelled to entertain US troops in France during World War Two.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is bringing back his classics such as In The Mood, Moonlight Serenade, Chattanooga Choo Choo, A String of Pearls, Tuxedo Junction and Little Brown Jug. Event centre manager Roger Farr said earlier this week ticket sales were going well for the 27-piece orchestra and supporting acts. But with tickets being quite a high price, at about $90 each, he did not expect they would sell out.

■ FARMING SCHOLARSHIP

Japanese students do it the Kiwi way

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

It’s been two weeks of hands-on practical farm training at Chris Ford’s Dromore dairy farm for two Japanese technicians.

Selected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the recipients of the month-long Dr Kawase Scholarship came to New Zealand to learn how to improve their production systems back home.

Tomornori Myotoku and Kayo Okuma are both young dairy farmers from Hokkaido – an area that produces over 50 per cent of Japan’s raw milk, making it the home of Japan’s dairy industry.

Named after Dr Isamu Kawase, the first Japanese to graduate from a New Zealand university in 1922, the scholarship aims to strengthen agricultural co-operation links between the two countries.

Having spent the first two weeks of their stay studying a tailored pasture and grazing management programme at the National Trade Academy, the two students were keen to practise what they had learnt down on the farm.

Farm owner Chris Ford said both were mesmerised by his baleage as it was far superior to their own.“They cut silage twice a year when it’s a metre tall. It’s around 90 per cent

stalk whereas here ours is 100 per cent leaf … I think I’ve got them convinced to cut silage five times a year!”

Improving the quality of feed meant their cows would produce more milk as poor nutrition was a major contributor to their lower production levels.

Dairy farms in Japan are small with Kayo’s family farm only 40 hectares, running 40 cows. However farmers receive around $1 more per litre for milk than in New Zealand.

Farms cost around $11,000 per hectare to purchase but cows can cost up to five times more than in New Zealand with large Holstein breeds remaining the traditional breed of choice as they are well suited to being in barns.

Tomornori said the Japanese Government supports technicians wanting to buy farms by contributing 50 per cent towards stock and machinery. They also pay 75 per cent of wages to the farmer’s staff.

The subsidies make the small farms viable but both scholarship recipients were keen to learn ways of becoming more efficient with Tomornori believing the TPP would be good for Japan as would decreasing Government payouts.

The pair head back home this weekend.

My teenager’s secret life I

t takes just a split second to push the send button, but that simple action could have lifelong repercussions.

And just how devastating those repercussions can be seems to escape young teens when they post graphic photos of themselves on mobile phone apps or on Facebook, an Ashburton mother says. *Margaret learned that lesson the hard way when she discovered her 14-year-old daughter had posted photos online of herself naked and that those photos were being viewed and commented on by strangers.

Like many parents, Margaret and *Paul had put strict rules around the use of technology by their children.

“We randomly checked what they were doing on their devices and we’d had a lot of conversations about the web and how anything you put out there is putting it out there for the world to see,” she said.

Her daughters were not allowed to have phones or tablets in their rooms at night and there had been endless discussions around respecting yourself, your body and around appropriate behaviour, Margaret said.

“But as trust built up over time I guess we got a bit lax. *Andi would say she wanted to listen to music or read on her tablet in her room and we let her.”

It wasn’t until she was idly flicking through Andi’s messages that she realised her daughter had become involved in a murky cyberworld where pornographic photos were stock in trade.

“She’d put up naked pictures of herself, there were photos of boys [masturbating] and graphic requests from men. And there were messages like ‘send a pic of your meow’.”

Margaret was stunned, but

Cellphone cyberstores are opening the door to an underworld culture that is becoming a parallel plane of existence for young people. It’s a place where insults are traded and the exchange of photos of naked bodies between friends, and strangers, is the norm. It’s a world many parents will not know exists until they check their young teen’s cellphone. Ashburton mum Margaret* shares the horror of discovering her 14-year-old daughter’s hidden life with reporter Sue Newman. what hit even harder was her daughter’s reaction.

“It was all a bit Teflon. I grabbed her, grabbed her phone and asked her what on earth she thought she was doing. But after we’d talked, her attitude was almost ‘we’ve done this, now can we move on’.”

Margaret could not move on.

Her trust in Andi had been broken and she was left wondering what kind of parallel world her daughter was living in.

“I confiscated all of her technology and over the next week I continued to be shocked by the pictures and videos that were being sent to my child’s phone.

But that doesn’t solve things.

Technology is here to stay and we need to work with it to keep our kids safe,” she said.

Margaret and Paul believed they had done everything they could to ensure their children understood the dangers that could lurk online.

“We believed they had a good moral compass and we checked what they

were doing on their devices randomly, primarily to make sure they weren’t being cyber-bullied.

We thought we’d done everything right,” Margaret said.

She’s since discovered that posting graphic material is described as the new age of experimentation and flirting, but that does not make it acceptable, she said.

“Their mistakes are out there for everyone to see and to be passed around not just at school, but around the world. It shocks me just how much of this is going on. It’s not just in America or Auckland, it’s happening here, in Ashburton and in Methven. It’s happening to our children.”

Since discovering those images and messages on Andi’s phone, Margaret has talked to other mothers and has been shocked by their reactions.

“Many of them just look at me and say that their children wouldn’t do that.

That’s what I thought too, but she did.”

Margaret and Paul now maintain a high level of vigilance around Andi’s phone and tablet use, but know that her knowledge of technology will always be streets ahead of

Andi’s story

W

hen her mother discovered her graphic online photos Andi said she wanted to climb into bed, pull the covers over her head and never come out again. She was mortified.

She was also terrified.

What she thought of as a harmless piece of teenage fun had already escalated into a situation she could no longer control.

Her photos had become public property.

“At the start I didn’t think about it being anything serious, but now I was being blackmailed and I was really afraid it wouldn’t stop there,” she said.

While it was highly embarrassing knowing her mother had found her photos, it was in many ways a relief, Andi said.

“I felt safe because mum knew.

She supported me through it.”

The family also involved the police in the hope that a brush with the law would discourage the young man involved from making similar threats to other teens.

Today Andi can’t believe she was guillible enough to think she could

send one person a photo and that it would not be shared.

And she can’t believe she became caught up in a network of photos, sexual pressure and insulting language that make up the sexting world.

It started simply, talking to others, wanting to be part of what others were part of. And it seemed harmless – at the start. Her cyberworld rapidly became part of her life and what seemed like fun, became a nightmare she was unable to escape.

“Once you start doing it, it’s hard to stop, people just expect it. You think no-one will share it (photos) but they do. It backfires on you.

I realise now you can’t keep stuff private.”

She’s grateful her mother found out what was going on, stepped in and helped to stop it.

Her friends have been supportive, but they’ve made it clear they couldn’t believe how stupid she’d been, Andi said.

“It does make me wonder how many other kids it’s happened to

and I just hope this might be a lesson to other people. I just can’t believe I was so stupid.

If one person can just be stopped doing the same thing, that will be great.”

She knows she’s had a lucky escape, knows how much worse the outcome could have been.

The immediate blackmail threat has been dealt with, but Andi knows she has to live with the knowledge that intimate photos of her body will always be available – somewhere.

“I know I can never get this back.” *Names changed to protect identities

their’s. It’s a world where parents will always be playing catch-up.

“The kids have another world and it takes over their lives. It’s a world we’re not part of. I can take away her devices but that really doesn’t solve anything.”

She’s concerned that in spite of their tech-savvy world, many young people are not as aware as they should be of the potential for what might seem an innocent photo they send to a friend to be viewed and used by strangers.

“They say that Snapchat is safe.

It’s dangerous. People screenshot photos and save them and send them to others. I know she’d shared a photo of a boy’s penis sent on Snapchat.”

And there’s the risk of blackmail. Margaret knows a boy attempted to bully Andi into doing something she didn’t want by threatening to send naked pictures of her to others.

“These kids are silly

teenagers making stupid decisions and they don’t realise the possible implications.”

Husband Paul blamed himself, saying he felt he had not kept her safe, Margaret said.

“He’s not dealing with this at all well. We did feel let down, responsible, but I know we’d done everything we could to keep her safe, but the trust has gone.”

She describes her daughter as “a nice, ordinary kid”. She could be anyone’s daughter.

Knowing how easily her child became entrapped in the cyber world, Margaret has talked to other parents. They may not like what they hear, may deny their child would become involved, but that’s what she thought. *Names changed to protect identities

In brief Complaint over foetus A devastated Rotorua woman claims a hospital worker flushed her foetus down the toilet after she miscarried at Rotorua Hospital – denying her the opportunity to bury it with other family members.

Lakes District Health Board has confirmed it has received a complaint from the woman and is investigating the incident. The woman’s midwife confirmed she had been pregnant and had a miscarriage at Rotorua Hospital, but was not prepared to comment further.

Jailed for 17 years

Elliot Hall was in Ashburton yesterday with a sneak preview of the Elliot Hall Enamel range.

Making artworks of the future

Elliot Hall’s association with high-end collectible enamels harks back over a century.

In 1904 his great grandfather Alfred Hall established the family business manufacturing copperware of a more practical nature; bed warmers, coal scuttles, log bins and such like – basically anything which could be made out of copper, Mr Hall said.

He was at the China Shop in Ashburton yesterday on an Australasian tour to introduce a range of Elliot Hall Enamels objects d’art.

As consumer demands morphed over time, the original

A man who ran over a Northland woman with murderous intent and a high level of “brutality and callousness” has been jailed for at least 17 years. Villiami Fungavaka, 47, drove his vehicle over his partner Georgina Manuel, 28, twice in Kaitaia in August 2013. She died the next morning, after being flown to Whangarei Hospital. In the High Court at Whangarei yesterday Justice John Fair sentenced Fungavaka to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.

Fungavaka had been found guilty on October 6 of murder after an eight-week jury trial.

company moved into the manufacture of copper jewellery then into enamels, keeping with the tradition of using copper, Mr Hall said.

Mr Hall entered the business 26 years ago as an apprentice and worked his way up the ladder, learning all aspects as he did so.

Now managing director and owner of the company, he retains a hands-on approach to both the marketing and manufacturing aspects of the business and is involved with decisions around the shape and artwork of each unique piece.

“I have my hands on every piece of work at some stage,”

he said. Elliot Hall Enamels employs 10 artists, with the longest serving counting more than 50 years with the company.

Each has their own distinct style and tradition when it comes to producing the exquisite 100 per cent free-hand panels on each work of art. Each piece is signed by the artist who created it.

It is the first time Mr Hall has travelled to New Zealand with a collection inspired by the antipodes.

The China Shop is the only outlet for Elliot Hall Enamels in the South Island.

“We looked for family businesses with people who can pass

on the knowledge about how the pieces are made to retain the integrity of our company,” Mr Hall said.

“Our business has been growing and the demand from New Zealand and Australia is increasing – we now sell 50 per cent overseas.

“These are collector’s items which will become the antiques of the future.”

A steady stream of potential customers visited The China Shop yesterday to view the range, and hear Mr Hall talk about the time consuming processes required to produce the fine finish for which the company is renowned.

A Facebook page belonging to an Auckland man shows pictures of him posing with an Islamic State flag, holding an AK47-style rifle and speaking of his role in a holy war. Police said Harun Abdul-Majeed SaifuAllah’s profile was a “security matter” and have refused to comment. However, it is understood they are investigating Mr SaifuAllah following inquiries by the Herald. The Facebook page appeared to have been disabled yesterday afternoon. Mr SaifuAllah, 23, told the Herald that he “100 per cent” supported the views and actions of Islamic State.

Speech by head boy emotionally charged One week before senior prizegiving, 18-year-old Jake Bailey was told he might not live to see the day.

The Christchurch Boys’ High School senior monitor, or head boy, was diagnosed with one of the world’s fastest growing tumours - Burkitt lymphoma - last week.

He had written a speech for prizegiving before his diagnosis and managed to leave his hospital bed to deliver it from a wheelchair on Wednesday.

It has since been watched more than 1500 times on YouTube.

“I wrote a speech. And then, a week before I was due to deliver that speech tonight, they said ‘You’ve got cancer’,” Jake said in the speech.

“They said ‘If you don’t get any treatment within the next three weeks you’re going to die. And then they told me I wouldn’t be here tonight to deliver that speech.”

Burkitt lymphoma is fatal if left untreated but can be fought with intensive chemotherapy. Jake started his treatment last Thursday.

Jake’s emotional speech goes on to urge his fellow students to drive for success and be the best people they could be throughout their lives.

He told his peers they only had one life to live.

“I wrote this before I knew I had cancer and now I have a whole new spin on it,” he said.

“Here’s the thing, none of us get out of life alive. So be gallant, be great, be gracious and be grateful for the opportunities that you have. The opportunity to learn from the men who walked before you and those who walk beside you,” he said.

Jake also thanked the many teachers, old boys and staff at Christchurch Boys’ High

School for helping him, as well as helping his year group, become “ready to move on [as] men”.

At the end of the speech, Jake struggled to hold back tears alongside a large number of the listeners. He will not be sitting Year 13 exams alongside his classmates this year.

“I don’t know where it goes from here for any of us. For me, for you. But I wish you the very best in your journey and I thank you for being part of mine.

“Wherever we go and whatever we do, may we always be friends when we meet again.”

A rousing haka and emotionally-charged rendition of the school song met the end of his speech.

Principal Nic Hill said almost everyone listening to his speech had tears in their eyes.

Foundation sponsorships

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Advance Ashburton is one of Ashburton’s quiet achievers, but each year it pours thousands of dollars in grants and sponsorship into the Ashburton community.

The foundation was formed 12 years ago. Its purpose is to receive grants and bequests that are invested, with the proceeds being distributed as grants and in the form of scholarships.

It now has total funds of $9.5 million in assets under management with $19.5 million to come in promised bequests. Of the funds currently under management, $1.2 million is held for the rebuild of elective surgery units at Ashburton Hospital.

Speaking at the organisation’s community celebration this week, chairman Trevor Croy said that four new funds had been established during the year, the Ian Glassey Memorial fund, the Lochhead fund, the Graham and Helen Sinclair fund and the Parson’s family fund.

During the past year the foundation gave away 29 scholarships worth more than $30,000, funded a reading programme, Boost, for seven and eight-year-olds, and made grants to many local organisations including Ashburton’s Community House and the Ashburton Art Gallery and Museum.

For the year to March 31, $150,000 was given out in grants and Mr Croy indicated grants would exceed $350,000 this year.

So far this year the foundation has given out $90,000 in grants.

Tindall Foundation chief executive John McCarthy and scholarship recipient Vanessa Lowe also spoke at the meeting.

Nicholas Buick (standing) with his sons Jim (left) and Bob and friend Les Sousness (far right) working on Clent Hills in the early 1920s.

The Buick’s family history dates back hundreds of years and recently many descendants gathered in Ashburton to reminisce and educate one another on the events of the past. The Guardian’s Caitlin Porter checked in with them.

I

t all began with a passage to New Zealand.

Gold sovereigns sewn into her dress and bags packed, a young Elizabeth Milne (nee Buick) was ready to make the journey from Ireland to New Zealand to visit her beloved brother Nicholas.

Moving to New Zealand with wife Margaret in 1880, many of Nicholas’ descendants ended up settling in the Ashburton area – however when Elizabeth visited he was based nearer South Canterbury.

After spending time with her family Elizabeth had soon saved enough money to return home to Ireland and so decided to set off with a friend in a horse-drawn wagon for the ship, luggage in tow.

At the time the Waiareka River was in high flood and Elizabeth and her friend pleaded with the driver to turn back, however he flatly refused.

He let his passengers off to cross the raging river on a footbridge but while doing so both the wagon and horse were washed away.

Thankfully the driver survived but everything else was lost, including Elizabeth’s money for her return ticket – the gold sovereigns she had so carefully sewn into the waistband of her dress.

Amidst returning to work to save for another passage back home, Elizabeth was shocked to learn her father, Robert, had passed away and her mother and

sister had moved to Canada.

Deciding to stay in New Zealand with her brother, Elizabeth went on to marry William Milne and settle in the Ashburton area.

Shortly after her mother’s passing her sister Martha joined her but had a rather stressful trip to New Zealand. Martha unintentionally boarded the wrong ship in Canada and ended up in Liverpool, England, before having to turn around and take another ship to New Zealand.

The colourful history of the Buick family has been compiled by many family members, primarily Amelia Petherick (nee Buick) who spent time creating a family history website in order to share information from generation to generation.

Last weekend around 80 Buick family members from as far away as America descended on Ashburton to share stories and chat about family history.

Having not reunited in nearly 20 years, the family firstly gathered at Aeroview and had an introduction to the history of the Buick family and three guest speakers – the eldest members of the family – shared their memories.

A meticulously crafted family tree 10 metres in length was also on display for all attendees to update.

Following Saturday’s congregation an informal family picnic was held in Rolleston on Sunday.

“The weekend was a great chance to put faces to names,

Sharing memories at Buick family reunion catch up with people who we hadn’t seen for a long time, meet new relatives and to share memories and stories people had of the generations that have passed on,” Amelia said.

Originally descended from Elizabeth, Nicholas and Martha’s parents – Robert and Martha – there are a few notable Buick descendants who resided in the Ashburton area.

Robert “Bob” Buick fought and lost a leg in World War One. While recovering in a London hospital he was visited by New Zealand Prime Minister William Massey who pledged to the injured that when they returned home to New Zealand he would do whatever he could for them.

Upon Bob’s return he purchased Clent Hills, a high country station and when he heard Prime Minister Massey was making the trip to Oamaru he decided he too would make the journey to speak with him and remind him of his promise.

He had one simple request – for a bridge to be built up the Ashburton Gorge to help World War One farmers get their stock to sale. The Prime Minsiter asked him to write a letter and have it signed by all the neighbours and a bridge was indeed built. It was named Buicks Bridge.

The bridge theme is one that runs in the Buick family. Bob’s nephew Robert was also a farmer and fought in World War Two. He was awarded a military medal and commissioned in the field for bravery when fighting in Egypt.

On the Ashburton County Council for 27 years, he managed to have three bridges commissioned – in Valetta, across Bowyers Stream and Thompsons Track.

To this day around 40 of Elizabeth and Nicholas’ descendants are based in Ashburton, including Robert’s sister Valmai, who at the age of 95 lives with her 97-yearold husband Ernest Ludemann in the Ashburton township.

Not the sight that New Zealand cricket fans wanted to see: Aussie speedster Mitchell Johnson celebrates the wicket of Black Caps batsman Ross Taylor yesterday.

Aussies take complete control

By DaviD Leggat New Zealand were on the run at stumps on the second day of the opening test against Australia at the Gabba last night.

Responding to Australia’s 556 for four declared, they undid a solid start in collapsing to 118 for

five and finishing the day at 157 for five, trailing by 399 runs.

Four wickets fell for 16 runs in 26 balls as Australia’s left arm pace aces Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc ripped through the batting, turning the speed dial up to the mid 140km/h range.

two wickets apiece as New Zealand’s worst fears of their ability to combat the speedsters were realised.

Openers Tom Latham and Martin Guptill got to 56 before Guptill edged seamer Josh Hazlewood to third slip.

Latham, Ross Taylor, Brendon

McCullum and Jimmy Neesham then fell in quick time, two apiece to the Mitchells.

Kane Williamson, batting impressively, was on 55 and BJ Watling had reached 14.

It was a second grim day for New Zealand who, in addition to shipping another 167 runs while

taking two wickets, lost the services of their bowling spearhead, Tim Southee.

He walked off having bowled five overs yesterday with an irritated disc in his back.

■ EQUESTRIAN

Jamiee holds all the aces All eyes will be on local Jamiee Bird as she chases victory in the second southern leg of the Mainland Coachwork Ltd FEI World Jumping Challenge on home turf this weekend.

The Ashburton College student holds all the cards heading into tomorrow’s two-round competition having convincingly won the opening round aboard the nineyear-old mare, Wenrose Vertigo, at Canterbury Showjumping’s Labour Weekend Showjumping and Showhunter Carnival, but she’ll face some stiff opposition though, with 12 combinations vying for honours.

Now in its 37th year, the revamped version of the FEI World Jumping Challenge see competitors up against the rest of the world with the competition divided into 10 geographical zones and three categories, with the South Island only offering Category A, open to riders 15 years and older, jumping to heights of 1.20m-1.30m.

Riders accumulate points at the three shows, with the winner of the South Island Category A section having the opportunity to head to the world final to represent pool 8, which includes much of Australasia.

The challenge is run around the world with all competitors jumping the same course plan.

In addition, the show also features the annual Young Rider exchange between the South Island and Victoria, Australia, with the Kiwis eager to retain the silverware.

The South Island team, which features local 19-year-olds Kim-

Jamiee Bird is favoured to take tomorrow’s FEI World Jumping challenge, but she won’t have things all her own way. berley Bird (Chertsey) and Lucinda Askin (Ashburton) riding alongside Harry Feast (West Melton) and captain Rose Alfeld (Leeston), comes up against a very classy Victorian team headed by Australian Elite Young Rider Squad member Melissa Backman.

Backman combines with Teagan Chester, who recently was placed on debut at World Cup level, and the winner of four Junior State titles, Jacob Wells, with Binni Greig the baby of the team at just 17 years of age.

The competition will be run

over two days of intense competition jumping at 1.10m level, with riders on borrowed horses, competing in two rounds each day with a jump-off on the final day if required.

Horses are drawn with the Kiwis unable to ride their own horses in a bid to even up the stakes.

All four Kiwi riders have shown some great form this season, with Bird coming in off a classy double at Ashburton A&P last weekend winning both the Horse Mini Prix and the Canterbury Equestrian Young Rider, while Askin took out the hotly-contested 1.30m class.

The South Island has been involved in the Inter-Country Teams Challenge since it was developed by the EFA Victorian Showjumping committee in 2003.

A fierce rivalry has developed between Victoria and the South Island over the years, with the exchange been hosted annually by each country.

The competition was designed to give Young Riders (21 years and under) valuable experience in the format of team competition, which will stand them in good stead for National Senior Team events such as the Olympics and World Equestrian Games.

It also serves as important way to develop the strategies needed to travel and compete in a foreign country and, most importantly, to foster friendships between young riders from other countries.

Ashburton also has a full complement of national series classes with more than 250 horses entered from across the South Island.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Burgess may be back to face Kiwis

By Michael Burgess Sam Burgess could return to face the Kiwis in the third test next week - and it’s all thanks to a former Warrior.

Yesterday it was reported that Burgess has ended his short lived foray with rugby, cutting his ties with Bath and is set to rejoin the Rabbitohs in the NRL. But could he be back on a league field in a little over a week, representing his country in front of a sold out DW stadium in Wigan?

The answer is conceivably - yes.

Usually the tournament rules would not allow a team to bring in a player halfway through a series, unless another player was ruled out on medical grounds and the new man came in as a replacement.

But Sam Tomkins’ withdrawal with an injury before the series - and the fact that England coach Steve McNamara decided not to replace the former Warriors fullback at the time - means that there is a spot open in his squad.

An English Rugby League official, when asked about the possibility of Burgess’ return to face the Kiwis next

week, told the New Zealand Herald he “wouldn’t like to say yes or no at this stage ... it would depend on a few things.”

They might be 1) Whether Burgess has an appetite to play 2) The result of the second test 3) How Steve McNamara and his coaching staff feel his inclusion would work for the team.

However, it’s hard to see how it wouldn’t be a massive lift for the England side.

Burgess’ return would be welcomed by all the players, and it would create huge interest in the third test.

He remains close to all his former team-mates, and as he milled around outside the dressing room two weeks ago after England’s clash with France at Leigh it felt like the return of a prodigal son.

And Burgess might have redemption against the Kiwis on his mind.

He was the best player on the field in the 2013 World Cup semi-final in London, the game that was stolen by New Zealand at the death thanks to Shaun Johnson’s heroics.

Changes to bench Stephen Kearney hasn’t wielded the axe dramatically, but he has made two changes to the Kiwis team ahead of the second test against England.

Kearney had to react - he needed to do something after last week’s disappointing 26-12 loss - but he has resisted the temptation for drastic switches. Lewis Brown replaces Kodi Nikorima as the back-up hooker option and utility forward, while Alex Glenn comes in for Sio Siua Taukeiaho. Some other players might consider themselves fortunate to be retained, but that is probably more a reality the limited options on this tour. - NZME

Bennett voted off Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has been cut from the powerful NRL competition committee by his peers, replaced

by South Sydney mentor Michael Maguire. Maguire and Sydney Roosters’ counterpart Trent Robinson will represent the game’s 16 coaches on the committee, which suggests rule changes to the NRL, for the next two years. Bennett was voted off after the NRL decided to restructure the group and allow the coaches to have a say on their representatives.

- AAP

Pressure on cap Sam Burgess’ return to the NRL has put the spotlight on the future of several other players at the club, including Dylan Walker and Chris McQueen.

Souths’ investigation into the prescription drug overdose of Walker and Aaron Gray is continuing after the duo fronted the club’s board on Wednesday. The Rabbitohs let go of Issac Luke and Glenn Stewart at the end of last season, but Burgess’ return will put pressure on their salary cap.

Souths boss John Lee couldn’t guarantee Walker’s future at the club after announcing Burgess’ signing for threeyears yesterday.

- AAP

Rugby under scrutiny England rugby’s handling of Sam Burgess came in for renewed scrutiny and criticism as his return to rugby league was rubber-stamped. Burgess has signed a three-year contract with South Sydney, the NRL team he left last year for Bath and the opportunity to play for hosts England in rugby union’s World Cup. Former England rugby centre Will Greenwood said: “rugby union has let the lad down”, on Twitter. Burgess was a scapegoat to many for the failure of Stuart Lancaster’s England team at the World Cup, where he was used at inside centre, having also played his club rugby in the back row.

England colleague James Haskell said Burgess had “to be pretty happy” with his achievements in such a short period of time, but former Red Rose players were dismissive of the efforts to integrate a top player from the 13-man code into union.

Tenth-degree in his sights

By James Ford

id Canterbury martial artist Paul Breakwell has achieved his eighth-degree black belt in taekwondo, following a Master’s Seminar in Hamilton over Labour Weekend.

The 60-year-old, who has been involved in martial arts for more than 40 years, also practises karate-do, tang soo do, hapkido, and kung fu.

Despite having both knees replaced, Breakwell is still going strong and hopes to one day earn the highest, tenth degree black belt.

Breakwell is also passing on his knowledge to his 45 students at the Ashburton and Leeston Freestyle Martial Arts Club.

Breakwell, who once participated in amateur sumo, said he was pleased to achieve his eighth-degree black belt after plenty of hard work.

“I’m a pretty mild person, but I was really happy about it.

“It’s been a long time doing it and coming,” he said.

Reid still a chance Captain Winston Reid was absent from the All Whites squad named to take on Oman next week but coach Anthony Hudson hasn’t yet ruled him out of their last international match of the year. Reid has missed the last four weeks of action for West Ham in the English Premier League due to a hip injury. Hudson said yesterday All Whites medical staff would assess Reid’s situation over the next 24 to 48 hours. It’s hard to see West Ham being entirely happy to see a key player travel to the Middle East to make his return from injury and All Whites coaches have often struggled to get access to their best players outside Fifa tournaments.

Man U’s momentum Wayne Rooney’s goal saw Manchester United re-assert themselves in Europe in midweek but anything less than a comfortable win over West Bromwich Albion this weekend will leave Louis van Gaal facing fresh questions. United have failed to score in three of their past four Premier League games and van Gaal admits that getting his philosophy for winning football to work on a consistent basis is proving a challenge. “We try to do that but I think the rhythm of the game in the Premier League is more difficult to develop and you can see it every week, not only with Manchester United but the other teams,” the Dutch manager said.

Cech backs Arsenal to recover in EPL By steven GriFFiths Petr Cech insists shell-shocked Arsenal will make amends for their Champions League meltdown by winning this weekend’s north London derby, while troubled Jose Mourinho has received a welcome boost from midweek hero Willian ahead of Chelsea’s tricky trip to Stoke.

Arsene Wenger’s side suffered a potentially fatal blow to their chances of making the last 16 in Europe’s elite club competition

after crashing to a dismal 5-1 loss against Bayern Munich on Thursday.

The Gunners’ joint-heaviest European defeat leaves them in severe danger of missing the knockout stages for the first time in 16 years.

But veteran goalkeeper Cech knows they have a chance to erase those painful memories when they return to Premier League action against arch rivals Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

“Every game comes thick and

fast and you have to make sure you recover and move onto the next one,” said Cech, whose second placed team have won their last five league matches and are behind leaders Manchester City on goal difference.

“The defeat to Bayern is tough to take but ou have to accept the team you played was superior to us in everything they have done.”

Fifth-placed Tottenham’s hopes of avenging their League Cup loss against Arsenal earlier this season won’t be helped by their gruelling

schedule over the last week.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team beat Aston Villa on Monday then hosted Anderlecht in the Europa League on Thursday, leaving them with little recovery time before facing Arsenal.

Mourinho will remain firmly in the spotlight when Chelsea visit Stoke, even though the beleaguered Blues boss won’t actually be at Britannia Stadium. He isn’t allowed any contact with his team as he serves a one-match stadium ban.

Slaven Bilic accepts West Ham’s meeting with his former club Everton overnight will carry extra significance as he attempts to reignite his Premier League side’s unexpected top four challenge. Bilic, 47, spent part of his playing career in England with the Merseysiders but his priority now is to ensure the Hammers respond to last weekend’s defeat at Watford that left them in sixth place. “Is it a special game for me?” asked West Ham manager Bilic of the match at Upton Park. On one hand yes, on the other no. Every game is special for different reasons.

Everton are a great side, big club with good players.

I am looking forward to it, definitely yes.”

Ibe saves Liverpool Jordan Ibe handed Liverpool a crucial 1-0 victory over Rubin Kazan in the Europa League yesterday, as Celtic flopped at the hands of a 40-year-old Norwegian. After three successive draws, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp was hoping his team could carry over the momentum from Saturday’s Premier League 3-1 win over Chelsea when they travelled to Russia. Ibe’s 53rd-minute strike ensured a first away win in Europe in three years.

There was more heartbreak for Celtic, however, the Scots going down 2-1 to Norwegians Molde at home.

Cup preparations begin

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s Hawke Cup preseason preparations will begin in Oamaru tomorrow against North Otago in a 50-over match.

North Otago will provide a tough test for Bevan Ravenscroft’s side, having earned the right to challenge holders Canterbury Country last March with an outright win over Otago Country and first innings victories over Mid Canterbury and Southland to win zone four.

Ravenscroft said his players have looked sharp in training, and is pleased with the strong Pritchard Shield representation in the team.

“They’ve (North Otago) probably had the wood over us recently, last year they won our zone so it should be good,” he said.

“We’ve got a good mix of local guys and from Christchurch.

“We’ve always predominantly had a lot of guys coming down from Christchurch to play, but tomorrow there’s 10 of the 11

guys that play local club cricket here.”

The 29-year-old, who took on the captaincy from Matt Winter this season, has also been impressed by some of the younger additions to the squad, including College skipper Kieran Hunt and spinner Scott Punselie who have been training with Mid Canterbury.

The Lauriston player expects tomorrow’s tie to offer a good gauge of what needs to be worked on ahead of Mid Canterbury’s

opening Hawke Cup clash against South Canterbury on November 28, as the class of 2015 look to end what will be a 12-year drought since their last and only Cup triumph.

“It’s looking promising.

“Obviously we’ll look to be hitting our stride in late November when the Hawke Cup starts and the bigger the squad the better, but I’m pretty excited about it, and I’d like to think I’ve still got shield a challenge in me,” he said.

Beach cricket for the Olympics?

BY LAINE CLARK Pink balls and day-night Tests may have caused a big enough stir this summer.

But James Sutherland is clearly still thinking outside the box, backing beach cricket as the sport’s best bet to enter the Olympics by 2024.

The Cricket Australia (CA) CEO also believed the indoor format could be a winner with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Sutherland made both suggestions with a straight face yesterday after it emerged the International Cricket Council (ICC) would this

month meet with the IOC in Switzerland to discuss the sport’s 2024 bid.

Twenty20 appeared the format front-runner until Sutherland threw some more curve balls to cricket purists.

“Cricket on a traditional field is going to be a challenge in some parts of the world,” Sutherland told ABC Grandstand radio.

“There are other ways it could be played. Beach cricket’s not a silly idea, nor is indoor cricket.

“All of those things in some ways are more practical and achievable rather than big cricket fields.”

Cricket last featured at the Olympics at Paris in 1900.

But the sport still appears low on the Olympic pecking order.

More popular sports worldwide such as baseball and softball, karate, roller sports, sport climbing and surfing all appear to have the jump on cricket after being recommended for entry to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

An IOC vote in Rio next year will decide which new sports enter the 2020 Games.

But it appears the re-entry of golf and rugby union (sevens) for the Rio Olympics has given cricket renewed hope.

“As we understand it, dealing with the nuances of the IOC can be challenging,” Sutherland said.

“There’s a whole lot of complexities. “(But) we’ve always been supportive of the idea.

“We’re optimistic and will be pushing very hard for it to happen.”

In the meantime Sutherland believed the public would vote with their feet on the game’s other leftfield idea - day-night Tests with pink balls.

Sutherland expected “Asheslike” crowds at the historic third Test clash with New Zealand in Adelaide later this month, and was adamant the ball would be ready for the trans-Tasman clash.

The first sparring in the test series went Australia’s way at the Gabba in the last two days.

But how would New Zealand fare in that pastime of picking a composite XI from the two teams?

David Warner and Joe Burns cashed in on Friday - would they both be in that line-up?

And how about the seam bowling mix?

There is nothing especially scientific about this, more a personal feeling, allied to numbers.

This team will obviously never play a test, but you work on the assumption the players are all in top form, and the pitch provides what is generally accepted to be an ideal surface - that is, it offers early help to the new ball, bats well through the middle and has something for the spinners late in the piece.

On certain selections no argument would be brooked, so those who walk into this lineup would include the pugnacious Warner, New Zealand’s classy Kane Williamson, Australia’s new captain Steven Smith, Williamson’s Northern Districts’ wicketkeeping chum BJ Watling and Australian offspinner Nathan Lyon.

Warner averages 46, knocked up his 13th century at the Gabba on Monday and has an ebullient/irritating presence depending on your perspective.

His partner? Tom Latham, by a squeak from Martin Guptill or Joe Burns.

He gives this team a left-left opening combination, maybe not ideal, but Latham has a fractionally better average (39.52) than Burns, who has similarly made a fine start to his test career.

Williamson, world No 7 batsman, averaging 45.7, is a monty at No 3, ditto Smith, who is going at 56.27, and averaging a century every third test, and ranked second.

Let’s use a bit of licence here and shift Ross Taylor down a spot to No 5. Jimmy Neesham gets the allrounder job from the unproven Mitchell Marsh, and Lyon has a fine record.

Watling, averaging 40.71, might put up a case to play purely as a batsman, if Australian Peter Nevill was rated a truly outstanding gloveman.

He’s not, so Watling’s in anyway.

Which leaves the trickiest part - how to choose three from the Mitchells Johnson and Starc, and New Zealand’s top 10 rated Tim Southee and Trent Boult.

Test records and rankings prove useful.

Starc sits at No 20 and he’s no slug by any stretch, But his real strength has been with the white ball.

But Nos 5 (Boult), 6 (Johnson) and 10 (Southee) are hard to argue against. - AAP

Black Caps on the rack By david Leggat New Zealand are staring into a familiar abyss at the Gabba.

This is a road well trodden by New Zealand test teams visiting Brisbane, going back 35 years.

Events of the first two days have gone so decisively Australia’s way, that to get to Perth for next week’s second test still 0-0, New Zealand will need to bat out of their skins - or get a significant helping hand from the weather.

Or both.

They’ll start today at 157 for five, 399 runs adrift with the first faraway objective trying to get to 357 and avoid the risk of being made to follow on.

A positive?

Both Kane Williamson, who looked a class act yesterday, and BJ Watling have previous form for stickability.

The loss of four wickets for 16 in 26 balls late in the day left New Zealand reeling from a string of heavyweight blows, after a decent start in response to Australia’s 556 for four declared.

Add in ructions to the bowling group, with Neil Wagner to join the squad in Perth as cover for Tim Southee, and New Zealand are in a squeeze.

Wagner for Southee is no like for like, over and above bowling with different arms.

Wagner, 29, is a wholehearted worker, happy churning out a pile of overs with a permanently aggressive mindset.

His 16 tests have produced 58 wickets at 34.

His most recent test was against Sri Lanka in Christchurch last December.

Southee, however, is the spearhead, along with Trent Boult.

He was comfortably New Zealand’s best bowler on a dispiriting opening day, only to pay a visit to the hospital for scans on his back on Thursday night.

Five overs was all he could manage yesterday, the diagnosis an irritated disc.

“Tim will continue to be monitored and assessed over the coming days, but it’s important we have all of our bases covered,” coach Mike Hesson said.

Wagner is the obvious choice.

tests, one recovering from shin problems, the other sidelined by a back issue.

By the end of the day, it wasn’t Southee who was occupying New Zealand minds as much as the batsmen.

For a time things went along comfortably enough, as Tom Latham and Martin Guptill got to 56 in response to Australia’s 556 for four declared.

After Guptill departed, Latham and Kane Williamson moved things along before the walls caved.

Latham, who had been tidy, lobbed a catch to point on 47; Ross Taylor, well out of sorts, made a

duck; Brendon McCullum edged to first slip and Jimmy Neesham was bowled off his pads as Mitchell mania took over - Messrs Starc and Johnson splitting the four wickets.

Through the carnage, Williamson was unflappable and highly impressive, and will today be eyeing an 11th test century.

He peeled off a string of super quality strokes, twice putting Johnson back down the ground with classy drives, and he looked secure, which is the last word you could use for the middle order.

Earlier Usman Khawaja made

the most of his maiden test hundred, getting to 174 before his dismissal prompted an immediate declaration.

Khawaja and Adam Voges, two players under the spotlight, produced an emphatic performance to ally any concerns over batting vulnerabilities.

Good points for Australia to savour. New Zealand wouldn’t mind some right now.

The Southee-less attack, a quality first spell from Trent Boult aside, was simply brushed aside; too many of the batsmen not up to the task when the heat went on.

Local youngsters ready for tournament play

The Mid Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Singles Tournament will host 52 young players at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre courts tomorrow.

The draw will see boys and girls in years 3/4 to year 7/8 compete,

and Mid Canterbury coach Chris Anderson is expecting a high level of tennis, with the likes of Millie Ness, Sophie Innes, Henrik Tawatao and Tyler Leonard set to compete.

“The level is very good.

“We’ve got players here from Mid Canterbury who also play in

Canterbury competitions, so the standard will be very high,” she said.

Anderson said the event will also offer beginner and novice players the chance to experience the first tournament of their careers.

“This year we’ve got a lot of year

3/4 beginner, novice players, so that’s great,” she said.

“It’s the best first tournament for players to come and play.

“We’ll look after them properly, and they’ll learn what tournament tennis play is all about, and that it’s really not big and scary.”

Taumaunu happy to step aside Not a lot has gone the Silver Ferns’ way over the past four years, but outgoing coach Waimarama Taumaunu believes the national side has turned a corner in the past 12 months.

It’s for that reason Taumaunu feels comfortable stepping aside when her contract ends at the end of the month, secure in the knowledge she has left a solid platform for new coach Janine Southby to build on.

Taumaunu couldn’t have said the same this time last year.

The Ferns had just come off their worst season in nearly two decades, losing the Commonwealth Games final to Australia by 18 goals, before the humiliation continued with a 4-0 loss to the Diamonds in the Constellation Cup. They then rounded out the year with an unconvincing 1-all series draw against a touring English side.

The horror season prompted a brutal review of the national programme and team culture, which highlighted three key issues - the need for players to be better conditioned for tournament play, inexperience in the shooting circle, and the leadership group not being empowered enough to drive team culture.

It also prompted Taumaunu and assistant coach Vicki Wilson to re-think the team’s attacking strategy.

“I had thought that we needed to change [our style], but it is not until you plumb the depths that we plumbed last year that you get that critical impetus to change and that certainly happened amongst the players and all of the coaching and management staff,” said Taumaunu.

After promoting a fairly risk averse strategy during her early years in charge, Taumaunu introduced a bold new attacking gameplan this season, giving the players the mandate to play with speed and flair.

The more open, longer and wider style of game helped unlock the talents of Bailey Mes and Grace Rasmussen, who up until this season weren’t regular starters.

There is no getting around the fact the Ferns failed to achieve their ultimate goal this year of winning the World Cup. Having won three of their six meetings against the Australians this year, including a brilliant 11-goal win in their final Constellation Cup clash last Friday, Taumaunu hopes that she has finally rid the players of the notion they can’t match it with the Diamonds.

Duff Heartland skipper

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury lock Eric Duff has been named as Heartland XV captain for today’s clash against New Zealand Marist at Memorial Park in Masterton.

The 27-year-old, who was selected to the Heartland side for the third time last month, has been appointed as skipper in the absence of Wanganui’s Peter Rowe, following his one match suspension for foul play in the Meads Cup final against South Canterbury.

Duff, Adaam Ross and Jackson Donlan will also be joined in the Heartland fold by Hammers skipper Jon Dampney, who was called into the squad as cover for resident skipper Rowe.

Mid Canterbury have a strong representation among the Heartland Championship’s elite with coach Grant Keenan also at the helm.

Keenan said the squad had trained well this week and were excited to get their campaign under way.

“We know that Marist is no pushover, and when you’re playing for a prize like the Ian McRae Cup, both

teams will want the silverware,” he said.

Keenan said Rowe will be missed following an impressive season with the Meads Cup winners, but has confidence in Duff’s leadership skills.

“We’re obviously disappointed to have lost Peter, but we have full faith in the entire squad,” he said.

“Eric captains his Southern Rugby Club in Mid Canterbury so he will be no stranger to leadership on the field.”

Wanganui Collegiate’s Stephen Perofeta has been handed the conductor’s duties at first-fiveeight, a sign of Keenan’s faith in the 18-year-old’s ability to control their play.

“We’re very proud to have a great mix of experience and new blood,” he said.

“The fact that we have Stephen Perofeta out there alongside Lemi Masoe (North Otago) who’s 35, just goes to show you how fantastic Heartland rugby is, and how guys can keep their bodies going for that long.”

The Heartland XV will kick off against New Zealand Marist at 6pm.

■ OPINION

World Cup bouquets and brickbats O

bservations from one of the better sporting tournaments New Zealand has been involved in, in recent times.

Coach of the Year: Clearly Steve Hansen, and equally clearly they couldn’t give the All Blacks everything, so something had to go to someone else.

But, if that particular award had to be farmed out to appease the masses, there was a far more deserving case than the Aussie coach, good though his efforts were to finally find a scrum in Australia that didn’t crumble at the mere thought of packing down against anyone bigger than a Sydney school side.

If you watch the Japanese side playing, and there’s been interminable replays on Sky so there’s no excuse for not seeing them, you’ll see a side that has been transformed from the disorganised rabble that thanked the All Blacks very muchly for thrashing them by 145 points, to a team that notched up three victories in their pool, included in those

scalps the mighty Springboks, a powerhouse of rugby since Day One, an effort that on any other day would have seen them through to the quarters, and having many big sides looking nervously over their shoulders.

If they hadn’t faced such a dreadful tournament schedule, it could well have been an undeniable four victories.

Watching the last five minutes of that incredible match against the Boks again brought just as many tingles to the spine as it did the first time round; the emotion following that amazing final try well into injury time was as palpable as anything that the final produced, and that’s a very high bar indeed!

But it was all orchestrated by Eddie Jones, an Aussie coach who has been around the block a few times, and his efforts to get his charges to play such a fast, disciplined game against a series of bigger and theoretically better opponents deserved more recognition.

Warren Gatland will relinquish his post as Wales boss after the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Wales’ longest-serving coach took the helm in 2007, and has claimed two Six Nations Grand Slams in his tenure. He plans to return home to New Zealand in 2019, and could yet make a long-term bid to coach the All Blacks. The 52-year-old remains in the running to coach the Lions on their tour of New Zealand in 2017.

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

Sir Richie?

Of course.

He definitely fits the criteria; ‘distinguished by their eminence, talents, contributions or other merits’.

There’s lots of folk out there who say he doesn’t get one because it’s a team game; who’s going to tell Wilson Whineray, Brian Lochore, Richard Hadlee, Russell Coutts, Lois Muir, and especially Colin Meads that there’s been a re-think and they have to surrender their gongs?

And anyway, if you ask any member of the teams he’s played in, I’m absolutely certain that they would unanimously put his name forward for the big honour.

But he gets paid for what he

does! is the next one . . .

OK, you’re also going to have to tell all those captains of industry, who made so much money for themselves and their companies, often while their bottom-level employees were struggling on minimum wages, that they’re out as well.

And we’re not even going to mention Sir Dodgy Doug Graham, who gets to keep his knighthood despite his other activities.

So that’s settled, if he wants it he’s a Knight of the Realm.

Lastly: Beauden Barrett.

Coaches look for players with the X factor; maybe they should change it to the M factor.

How many times does something Magic happen just minutes (seconds?) after Barrett makes his entry on to the field?

I suspect the percentage is somewhere up in the high 90s, and that’s a huge part of why William Webb Ellis is again residing in New Zealand for another four years.

Richie in Times Square The All Blacks continue their world domination, with captain Richie McCaw appearing on a billboard in New York’s Times Square. New Zealander Andrew Moros posted a series of photos on Facebook showing off a staunch-faced McCaw overlooking one of the world’s most well-known squares. “Richie McCaw: The legacy of a legend,’’ the digital billboard reads, before the screen changes to show off his stats: “148 test matches, 3x World Player of the Year, 2x World Champion.’’

The billboard is part of an advertisement for headphone giant Beats by Dre. - NZME

Strokosch retires Scotland back-row forward Alasdair Strokosch has announced his retirement from international rugby union. The 32-year-old, who is continuing his club career with French side Perpignan, won 47 caps during nine years of Test rugby. Strokosch’s lastappearance came during the 39-16 win over the United States. The tournament ended in heartache for the Scots after Craig Joubert’s last-minute penalty allowed Australia to win a dramatic quarter-final. - AFP

When Kevvy speaks Sonny Bill Williams has revealed how the All Blacks kept a lid on their World Cup victory celebrations after senior statesman Keven Mealamu reminded the squad of their status and responsibilities.

“And when Mr Mealamu says that everyone listens, that’s the respect that he has.” - NZME

McLaughlin shows the way

By Ben McKay Craig Lowndes is happy to roll with the punches at Pukekohe despite the bumpy circuit for the Auckland 500 challenging the V8 Supercars field yesterday.

Lowndes finished third on the practice day, behind Volvo local Scott McLaughlin and fellow titleaspirant Mark Winterbottom, but joined others in enduring a hairy moment or two on the championship’s visit to New Zealand.

In perfect racing conditions, Jason Bright found the wall after turn three, with dirt thankfully slowing his impact but dislodging his Commodore’s front guard.

Jamie Whincup was one of several to miss turn five and instead take the short-cut past turn six, where organisers have erected a tyre chicane.

Whincup crashed into a tyre wall but continued on, while Lowndes lost control of his Commodore halfway through the first session, spinning off the circuit and careering backwards through the grass.

The difficult track linked all of the three incidents, but Lowndes says he still enjoyed the challenge.

“It’s the character of the circuit,” he said.

Penske eyes podiums Billionaire V8 Supercars team principal Roger Penske insists he’s on board the sport for the long run and targeting podiums in 2016. The Ohioan trucking and racing magnate bought into the touring car championship last year, joining forces with local legend Dick Johnson. But since the October 2014 announcement that former champion Marcos Ambrose would spearhead the team, barely anything has gone right. “We’ve got to get better ... we expect to do better,” he said yesterday.

“I would hope next year we can be on the podium for sure.”

Rossi loses appeal New Zealand driver Scott McLaughlin is running hot in practice on his home course at Pukekohe.

“It’s great when you’ve got a car that (rides bumps), when you don’t it’s been quite ugly, it’s a damn hard track to get right.”

In the 15 years since the series has visited New Zealand, Lowndes has never won.

He needs to break that duck if he is to exert maximum pressure on series leader Winterbottom, who has a comfortable 258-point lead over second-placed Lowndes.

But on yesterday’s evidence, McLaughlin will join them in contention for a race win after steal-

ing the show with a late effort, recording 1:03.16.

McLaughlin’s effort builds on both his solid series form and strong showings in front of his home crowd.

The 22-year-old won a Sunday pole on the Gold Coast and returns to the scene of his debut win in the sport, in 2013.

He returned two poles and two podiums in 2014 and said he was eager to return to the top this year.

“There’s a long way to go yet but it’s better than being last, that’s for sure,” he said.

“I think we’ve got a good enough car to (challenge) this weekend.”

Nissan pair James Moffat and Michael Caruso topped the timing charts in the first practice session yesterday, but found themselves off the pace in session two, finishing 21st and 22nd.

Valentino Rossi’s world title hopes were dealt a potentially fatal blow yesterday when the Italian lost his appeal over being relegated to the back of the grid for tomorrow’s season-ending Valencia Grand Prix. Rossi, already a seven-time premier category champion, was penalised for kicking defending champion Marc Marquez off his bike at the Malaysian Grand Prix last time out. He appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) who ruled that the sanction will stand. Rossi leads Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo by just seven points and therefore needs to finish in the top two to guarantee the title.

Value of All Blacks brand ‘rocketing’ A third Rugby World Cup victory has seen the worth of the All Blacks brand soar to more than $250 million and that figure to double within the next 10 years.

Prior to the tournament, specialist brand valuation and strategy consultancy Brand Finance estimated the All Blacks brand to be worth $197 million.

Sunday’s commanding World Cup final win over Australia - the All Blacks first World Cup success on foreign soil - has added a further $54 million to that figure, cementing their position as the sport’s pre-eminent brand.

Rugby is the world’s fastest growing team sport and the RWC is the third most watched sporting event in the world, while the game’s profile will be boosted further with Sevens set to feature in next year’s Rio Olympics.

Add to that the sport’s widely affluent fan base and the 15-man code is increasingly shaping up as an exciting commercial prospect for sponsors and broadcasters alike.

The All Blacks have already established a string of commercial deals with companies as diverse as Air New Zealand, AIG and Bulgari, a lucrative TV rights deal and unrivalled merchandising opportunities.

All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw with a very valuable commodity, the Rugby World Cup. PHOTO AP “New Zealand are world champions and enjoy a historic win rate of 77%, the closest thing to guaranteed success a sponsor of a major sport could hope for,” Bryn Anderson, head of Brand Finance’s sports marketing, said of the All Blacks’ corporate appeal.

“The All Blacks are a sponsor’s

dream off the field too, renowned for their fairness, good-sportsmanship and disciplined behaviour.”

However, Anderson believes the All Blacks and NZRU may fail to fully capitalise financially on their World Cup victory.

“Adidas extended its deal to 2019

while the fees for broadcast and content rights have been agreed with Sky TV until 2020, meaning two key commercial deals cannot be renegotiated for over three years,” he said.

“In addition, the NZRFU have in the past taken a conservative approach to establishing new deals, cautious of the sense of ownership that many Kiwis feel for their national team.

More needs to be done, Anderson says, to help raise the All Blacks’ profile around the world and maximise the commercial opportunities that their brand presents.

“There is no reason they couldn’t establish dozens of global, top-tier partnerships in the same way that football clubs such as Manchester United have done,” he added.

“A willingness to expand and segment commercial partnerships will be important.

“So too will be increasing the visibility of the team outside of major tournaments by staging exhibition games, particularly in the US, or even locating competitive games in key growth regions, just as the NFL now does in the UK. “Brand Finance’s analysis suggests that the All Blacks could command a US$500 million brand within a decade.”

Susie Wolff is ending her career as Williams Formula One team test driver and quitting motorsport, she and the team said yesterday. “The time has come to hang up my helmet and call it a day,” she said in a blog entry on the Huffington Post portal. “It has been an incredible journey with many ups and downs.

I feel privileged to have turned my passion into my profession.” The 32-year-old Wolff of Scotland had been a development and test driver for Williams since 2012. - DPA

Sonny still giving Sonny Bill Williams’ reputation as the most generous All Black was confirmed yesterday as he gave away his cap and sunglasses to two lucky fans. As eager fans surrounded Williams in Wellington, one teen asked if he could have his All Black cap. Williams not only gave him his cap, but he also took off his sunglasses and gave them to the teen. Rongotai College student Tyrrell Samia, 17, was the lucky boy.

However, another eager young fan, 10-year-old Taimakau Pikia-Karehana, asked if he could have the sunglasses and Tyrrell kindly gave them to him. “I did what Sonny would do and gave the sunnies away,” he said.

■ RICCARTON

Young trainer making impact Tyro trainer Sarah Stewart is making the most of the early opportunities that have come her way.

In her first full season with a small team in work at Riccarton, she already has four winners to her credit and the stable flagbearer at the top of his game for their feature home track carnival.

Stewart will be represented by the in-form Pheasant in today’s Listed Gold Club Metropolitan Trophy Handicap as a lead in to the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino Cup seven days later.

“We’ve backed him up twice before and both times he’s won,” she said.

“He’s performing really well and I can’t fault him.”

Pheasant is a recent addition to her fledgling operation from Brian Gliddon’s stable and he has won three of his six starts for her, including a last-start success in the Winton Cup. “Unfortunately, Brian got crook

and he handed his team over to me,” Stewart said.

“It was more than I could have asked for when I was starting out so I was very fortunate.

“I started riding when I was six at Max Skelton’s riding school and I went on to pony club and shows.

“I started working for Shane Laming in the school holidays and when I left school at 16 I went back to Shane and worked there for five years.”

Stewart furthered her experience with a spell at Lisa Latta’s stable and when that Riccarton operation closed down earlier this year she went out on her own.

“I don’t want a big team and my partner, Daryl Long, and I both ride track work,” she said.

“It’s pretty exciting.”

Makfi made an impact on the Melbourne spring carnival when his son Hursley won the Listed Curved TV Stakes at Flemington on Oaks day. Trained by Chris Waller, the three-yearold son of the Westbury Stud shuttle stallion doubled his winning tally at his fifth appearance after opening his account at Hawkesbury last month. Purchased for $200,000 out of Westbury’s Premier Sale line-up at Karaka in 2014, Hursley relished the 1800 metre trip.

In brief Patrol ‘harmed trust’ The patrol by a US warship close to islands China controls harmed mutual trust between China and the United States and caused regional tensions, the Chinese foreign minister has told his US counterpart. Wang Yi’s comments to US Secretary of State John Kerry, reported by Chinese state television yesterday, come a week after an American guided-missile destroyer sailed close to one of Beijing’s man-made islands in the South China Sea. Beijing has repeatedly expressed its anger with Washington over the patrol.

“The acts by the US naval vessel in the South China Sea harmed mutual trust and provoked regional tensions. China is extremely concerned by this,” the report paraphrased Wang as saying.

Emergency meeting Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has invited mayors of eastern Aegean islands bearing the brunt of the current refugee influx to Athens for an emergency meeting on how to deal with the crisis. The meeting was also to be attended by the north and south Aegean regional governors as well as mayors and religious officials from the islands of Lesbos, Samos, Kos, Leros and Chios, and government officials.

Bomb scenario dismissed Five days after a Russian jetliner broke apart high above the Sinai, Russia and Egypt yesterday dismissed Western suggestions that a terrorist bomb may have caused the crash that killed 224 people, saying the speculation was a rush to judgment.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, who spoke to the presidents of both countries in the very public dispute, said he had grounded all British flights to and from the Sinai Peninsula because of “intelligence and information” indicating a bomb was the probable reason a Metrojet Airbus A321-200 plane had crashed Saturday in the desert.

British and US officials, guided primarily by intelligence inter-

cepts and satellite imagery, have suggested gingerly it might have been the work of the extremist Islamic State group and its affiliates in the Sinai.

“We don’t know for certain that it was a terrorist bomb ... (but it’s a) strong possibility,” Cameron said.

Egyptian President AbdelFattah el-Sissi later stood beside him at a news conference following an awkward meeting.

Cameron also spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin to explain that concern for the safety of British citizens had led the government to go public with its suspicions about a bomb.

Russia and Egypt insist the investigation into the crash must

run its course before any conclusion is reached.

The Metrojet plane crashed 23 minutes after taking off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm elSheikh for St. Petersburg with mostly Russians aboard.

The dispute arose after the US and British intelligence was disclosed, just as el-Sissi was heading to London on a previously planned visit — his first as president.

Russia complained that intelligence gathered by London and Washington about its jetliner has not been made available.

If Britain had information about a bomb on the plane, it’s “really shocking” that hasn’t been shared with Russia, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman

Maria Zakharova, speaking in Moscow.

British officials declined to say what intelligence was shared with other countries.

US and British leaders have stopped short of a categorical assignment of blame in the crash, but Cameron said it is “more likely than not” that the cause was a bomb.

President Barack Obama said the US was taking “very seriously” the possibility that a bomb brought down the plane.

His comments, in an interview with a Seattle radio station, followed an earlier statement by White House spokesman Josh Earnest, who said the US can’t rule out the possibility of terrorism.

‘Syrian insurgents used mustard gas’ - OPCW A source at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said yesterday that inspectors from the international watchdog have found evidence that mustard gas was used during fighting between insurgent groups in the Syrian town of Marea in August.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because a report on the findings had not yet been published, said OPCW inspectors discovered “evidence

that mustard (gas) was indeed used there.”

The OPCW team was investigating allegations that the Islamic State used chemical weapons in Marea, but has not attributed blame for the use of mustard gas.

The findings will now be sent to the United Nations.

A US official confirmed that there is evidence a blistering agent was used at Marea on August 21.

Sulfur mustard, also known

as mustard gas, is an outlawed chemical weapon that attacks the skin, eyes, lungs and other internal organs of victims.

Syria’s declared 1300-ton chemical weapons stockpile, which was destroyed after President Bashar Assad’s government joined the OPCW in 2013, included sulfur mustard.

It is not clear how insurgents came to possess the chemical weapon.

Doctors Without Borders said

in late August that four patients exhibiting symptoms of exposure to chemical agents were treated at a hospital run by the international medical organisation in northern Syria on August. 21.

It said the parents and their two daughters arrived at a hospital run by the group one hour after the attack, suffering from respiratory difficulties, inflamed skin, red eyes, and conjunctivitis and their conditions worsened later.

Assisted suicide debate German lawmakers are debating a range of proposals to regulate assisted suicide, an issue of particular sensitivity in a country where the last time euthanasia was part of public policy it was used by the Nazis to kill more than 200,000 people with physical and mental disabilities. Assisted suicide is currently a grey area in Germany, neither permitted nor banned by law. Four proposals being debated in Parliament range from fully permitting it so long as it’s not for profit, to a near-complete ban.

All proposals have support from a mix of parties, while one group of lawmakers considers all of them unconstitutional.

Security tightened Authorities have dramatically tightened security in parts of Indian-administered Kashmir to prevent protests ahead of a visit

by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Indian forces erected steel barricades and laid razor wire on roads and ordered residents to stay indoors in old parts of Srinagar, the largest city in the region. The city’s main mosque was cordoned off and prayers were barred.

Myanmar elections Myanmar’s justice minister has told a UN body that his country has made progress on human rights and is trying “like any other nascent democracy” to overcome the challenges it’s facing. Dozens of delegations at the Human Rights Council have been praising Myanmar’s steps toward democracy ahead of elections Sunday, while urging authorities there to do more. Justice Minister Tun Shin, the head of Myanmar’s delegation, says his country is “making every effort” to create a democratic society.

OUR VIEW

Stop your kids from smoking Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

T

here would be plenty of men in their 80s and more who tried their first cigarette before their teens.

Back then, while it may not have been acceptable, it was certainly not uncommon for smokers to start their habit young, very young. Smokers were probably more common than non-smokers and no-one gave a thought to possible health consequences.

Those consequences are now well known, well documented and in today’s more enlightened age, it defies belief that young kids would even be tempted to light up. And yet they do. Smoking still has an element of cool about it.

Today’s old blokes who lit up young, probably stuck with smoking for most of their lives – if lung cancer didn’t get them along the way or until their spare cash ran out.

If you asked most of them, however, they’d tell you they wished they’d never started.

Most would have tried to give up along the way and most would have failed.

Given the publicity that’s around the health risks, given the exclusion of smokers from many events and public places and given the difficulty around under agers securing a packet of cigarettes, even getting to the point of lighting up is a challenge.

Apart from the challenge of doing something because it’s banned, it’s hard to understand why young kids smoke. And yet they do.

In Ashburton we have two schools involved in smoking cessation programmes, Ashburton College and Ashburton Intermediate. Clearly, children who’re not yet in their teens are not only smoking, but are addicted.

If cigarettes cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 18, there’s clearly an underground supply in Ashburton, those youngsters are getting their nicotine fix from somewhere, someone.

And if they’ve smoked enough to become addicted while they’re still in childhood, clearly there is an element of parental negligence involved. Addiction doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. When you’re intermediate age, you’ve put in that time while your parents were supposed to be your closest allies, supporters and protectors.

Clearly the parents of early smokers have little regard for their child’s wellbeing. Letting a youngster smoke is child abuse by another name.

YOUR VIEW Thank you On behalf of the Ashburton Community Committee of the Blind Foundation, I would like to thank all those who contributed to last week’s Annual Appeal collection. The generosity of the public, together with the time given by the organisers Bronwyn Bayliss and Andrew McDonald, together with our loyal volunteers, is very much appreciated.

The money raised will go towards the funding of the foundation’s programme which is such an important support for visually impaired people in society.

port). The setup of the Health Shuttle was paid for by Four Square, and now relies heavily on donations to cover its running expenses.

We are indebted to Four Square South Island for their support of this well-used service.

The Trevor Wilson Trust has paid for six ambulances over the past 20 years, not the three mentioned in the article.

The building in Tancred Street was freehold when it opened in 2008 thanks to the support of the trust to provide the last 20 per cent of the funds needed.

The back half of the building which houses the ambulance garage and station was fully paid for by the trust in 1997 when the ambulance service shifted from the hospital.

The Trevor Wilson trust has also provided financial support for operations equipment to support the introduction of mobile data terminals and Electronic Patient Transport Reporting.

We are indebted to this ongoing financial support, thanks to the foresight of the late Trevor Wilson, the trustees of the trust and the hard work of all of the employees of Wilson Bulk Transport.

HALFWAY THERE

A

fter two weeks of extreme bedlam I was looking forward to a quiet week…

While I enjoy the prospects of the annual A&P Show, by the time it has rolled around I find myself, like many mothers, dropping off their child’s exhibits on the morning of the hallowed event, frazzled, snappy and generally cursing letting my children decide they would enter a mammoth amount of classes.

Trying to get my eldest to stop procrastinating and start completing was a difficult task, not made easy by the Farmer looking vague when she showed her latest landscape painting to him and him saying “What’s that?”

A pout later and she was ready to trash her masterpiece and begin again.

I keep reminding her that the Farmer does not have the greatest tolerance to art and she needn’t take to heart the words of someone who said very loudly in the Louvre upon viewing the Mona Lisa up close that she was uglier than some of his old rams and would have been better painted nude.

“And look at all the cracks on her – he didn’t use very good paint, did he love.”

Whenever she mentions the words art school as to future career options his eyes glaze over and he begins to wax lyrical about Lincoln University and the

To be fair he does try hard to decipher her paintings, but needs to perhaps taper his thoughts.

Calling a carefully constructed piece “a blob” does not really convert to great father/daughter relationships. And describing the masterpiece Starry Night as similar to the tiny terror’s latest finger painting effort adds to her disdain for his artistic critiques.

But perhaps what was the final brushstroke was his thoughts on the Canterbury hill landscape she entered in last year’s show.

“What do you think Dad?” She asked, all eager as I sucked in my breath and silently communicated wrath to him should he say something unwise.

“Well it’s very brown,” he frowned, ignoring my glare. “And the colour of the hills is more like what pet lambs do when they’ve gutsed down too much milk…but other than that it’s pretty good I suppose…better than what your Mum could do, eh love?

“And seeing as you’re so good at painting…there’s a fence out there that could do with some.

Just wait here and I’ll go fetch the paint.”

Happy wife, happy life…

And a postscript for all of you who have pleasantly enquired about the state of my dishwasher.

I can now happily report that after a day of cursing, grumping and general irritation about the fact that he could be spreading fertiliser, the Farmer fixed my dishwasher and the hole in which the rats were coming through.

Peace reigneth forever more or at least until the next catastrophe…

■ TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

‘Net benefit for New Zealand’

BY JONATHAN UNDERHILL The text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership shows a number of concrete steps to help small and medium-sized enterprises pursue global opportunities and connect with regional supply chains, a boon to countries such as New Zealand, where some 95 per cent of businesses are SMEs, says John Ballingall, deputy chief executive at the NZ Institute of Economic Research.

SMEs get their own section in the vast 30-chapter document, which includes a commitment for each signatory government to set up a special committee with the sole purpose of promoting opportunities to SMEs. That will be backed by seminars, workshops, websites, identifying commercial partners in other TPP countries and helping small businesses establish their credentials. The en-

John Ballingall tire document runs to about 6000 pages of text and market access schedules.

Specifically the TPP says signatories will: “facilitate the development of programmes to assist SMEs to participate and integrate effectively into the global supply chain”. The committees must convene within one year of the TPP coming into force, it says.

sions it sought for the dairy industry, New Zealand’s biggest source of exports.

“There will be a lot of focus on the short-term elements such as decreases in tariffs, but the TPP sends a clear message to the global economy that regional integration is essential and we cannot afford not to do it,” he said. “It’s a really positive signal to the global economy.”

The 12 signatories to the TPP the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and Brunei - represent about 40 per cent of the global economy.

Critics charge that its intellectual property provisions are anti-consumer and rules around investment allow companies to bring lawsuits and extract penalties from governments that fail to meet their obligations under the

deal. US president Barack Obama is expected to face a tough fight in the US Congress to get the deal over the line, having said he wants to sign the TPP as soon as a 90-day notification period expires for fast-tracking the required legislation.

Trade Minister Tim Groser said the government will release a “legal summary” of the TPP in coming days.

Among the documents released overnight Thursday was an explanation and detail of “potential costs associated with copyright and administrative provisions relating to Pharmac,” the state drug buying agency.

Groser called it “a complex document” and said understanding the agreement’s legal obligations “will require careful analysis of all documents, given the interrelationship between many provisions” in the TPP. - NZME

Another chapter, on competitiveness and business facilitation, requires the governments to establish a committee to look at ways to promote trade and investment, and economic integration, which specifically refers to “recommendations aimed at enhancing the participation of SMEs in regional supply chains.”

“TPP is not just about helping big business,” Ballingall said.

“Ninety-five per cent of our businesses are SMEs - the point is that the TPP will directly or indirectly make business easier for those companies. Small changes for a lot of SMEs adds up to more economic activity, more jobs and higher wages - that should not be overlooked.”

Ballingall says he is “firmly of the view that the TPP is a net beneficial thing for the New Zealand economy,” even though the country didn’t get the conces-

Manage fraud risk in your business

L

osses arising from fraud and misconduct are a constant threat to businesses of all sizes and organisations need a strategy to manage the risks.

Although it is difficult to measure fraud because of its clandestine nature, it is widely acknowledged that New Zealand businesses are too complacent about the growing risk of bribery and corruption.

Many frauds go unreported or undetected while others are misclassified or downgraded by organisations to avoid publicity or embarrassment.

Fraud is becoming increasingly complex, putting organisational finances and reputations at risk and businesses must be constantly alert. You can look out for common signs such as staff living beyond their means, being overly territorial about their job or avoiding others looking too closely at their work. .

There is no single approach but the development of a broad ranging risk management programme is an important step in managing the challenges.

Having a clear plan for combating and responding to fraud is fundamental. Good intentions do not deter or detect fraud robust controls and thorough training do.

Matt Hannah

BUSINESS MATTERS

An effective plan should set down clear roles and responsibilities and should allow for confidential reporting channels where concerns and suspicions can be raised.

Employees are more likely to flag concerns when they know where to go for help, feel comfortable doing so without risk of retaliation and believe that management will respond to their concerns.

Providing staff with fraud awareness training is also a good strategy. Staff are often responsible for a fraud but they are also a businesses best defence against it.

A company’s leader and management team are responsible for setting the tone and ensuring there is support for ethical and responsible business practices.

An organisation’s code of conduct is perhaps the most important vehicle that management has to communicate the standards of acceptable business

conduct. A well-constructed code goes beyond stating company policies and needs to raise awareness of management’s commitment to integrity and the resources available to help employees achieve compliance and integrity goals.

This process starts right at the beginning of the relationship between a company and its staff.

It is critical to undertake due diligence in hiring and promoting employees and taking on contractors as part of a wider effective fraud and misconduct prevention strategy Fraud is a complex issue and becoming increasingly challenging to counter. In response, many organisations are now taking a far more proactive approach to preventing fraud and mitigating its consequences.

You should also consider working with an independent forensic specialist to help reduce reputational risk and commercial loss.

By applying forensic accounting, investigation, intelligence, technology and industry skills you can help prevent fraud, misconduct, and breaches of rules and regulations.

NZX taps Guy Elliffe, John Williams NZX has appointed former AMP Capital Investors executive Guy Elliffe and John Williams from Trust Investments Management, as independent directors to the stock market operator’s Smartshares board.

Elliffe, who is now the corporate governance manager at Accident Compensation Corp, and Williams join the board effective-

ly immediately, after NZX’s head of compliance Kristin Brandon resigned, the company said in a statement. The appointments fulfill NZX listing rules requiring independent directors.

NZX expanded its funds management business this year with the acquisition of SuperLife. It now has 23 exchange traded funds and SuperLife has added

$1.27 billion of funds under management and 41,000 members to the stock market.

Williams, who is investment manager for the charities trust and has previously worked for Vanguard Investments, and Elliffe join NZX chief executive Tim Bennett and chief financial officer Bevan Miller on the board.

■ COMMENT

Lack of good staff hinders district M

id-way through last month a number of Business Mid Canterbury (BMC) members were invited by MBIE to a lunch where Hon Steven Joyce presented the Government’s Regional Economic Activity Report (“REAR”).

Hon Joyce comes across well.

I also feel he is a bit of a kindred spirit because, like me, he started his working career as DJ on a radio station.

To prove he still had the “media cool” about him, at the launch of the REAR he even had a new app to show us. It allows you to access information from the REAR at the swipe of a thumb-tip.

I didn’t bother with the app.

Not because I have lost what little media cool I once had (my radio station was a Welsh one call Red Dragon FM), but because the numbers I saw in the REAR were not really telling me anything new, like the figures on unemployment.

The South Island has had low unemployment for years, and Mid Canterbury has had very low

Greg Martin unemployment to the extent that an inability to employ good staff has likely held the region back.

It continues to cause problems for businesses owners and farmers.

Earlier this week I heard an account of a reliable employee who was under threat of deportation.

The employee had been on a work visa, and had through no fault of his own needed to find new employment.

However, because the employee accepted and started a new job before applying to vary his work visa, he has now received a ‘Dear John’ letter from Immigration New Zealand inviting him to leave the country.

Sure, he was naïve, but he just wanted to carry on working. Not the most heinous crime against

“

They’re trying to run vibrant businesses, and they can only do that if they have the choice to buy the best labour they can get.

humanity I have ever heard of. If he is sent home, he will likely not be able to return, ever.

This will be a loss to the sector in which he works which is desperate for reliable, loyal staff.

It will, by all accounts, leave a shallow pool of available replacement employees, most of whom will likely not be good for the business, and not good for the business owner’s stress levels.

This situation interested me because in post-earthquake Christchurch essential skills work visas were issued without a specified employer.

This was seen as necessary

to, as Immigration NZ put it, streamline the visa process and increase labour market flexibility.

In post-earthquake Christchurch provided that an employee remained working within their specified job type, and within the territorial authorities of Christchurch City Council, Selwyn District Council and Waimakariri District Council, they could switch employers without having to obtain a new or varied work visa.

Sounds like exactly what sectors of industry and agriculture in the South Island need.

And the precedent is appar-

ently already there to allow this to happen.

It just needs a political will.

And maybe an earthquake or two.

Yes, some New Zealanders and residence holders may lose out on job opportunities.

But the long-term economic benefits of having a keen and reliable workforce will outweigh the short-term feel-good benefits of trying to reduce unemployment to a level to which it will not naturally go, and to a level that is arguably not sustainable.

In any case, why should Mid Canterbury business owners and farmers be asked to subsidise social improvement?

They’re trying to run vibrant businesses, and they can only do that if they have the choice to buy the best labour they can get, wherever that labour comes from.

And vibrant businesses are going to be good for the whole of society.

Greg Martin is a member of Business Mid Canterbury

■ THE WAREHOUSE

Raft of innovations announced Warehouse Group, New Zealand’s largest listed retailer, has launched its long-heralded financial services brand, Warehouse Money, offering two credit cards and five new insurance products, and also announced plans to launch a pre-pay mobile brand later this month.

The Warehouse aims to grow its lending book to $600 million within five years at which points it expects the financial services arm will add $30 million to earnings before interest and tax. Warehouse posted a 5.9 per cent drop in profit last year and is looking to generate earnings growth away from its traditional retail base, following a $100 million ‘refresh’ programme for its Warehouse discount stores, the acquisition of Noel Leeming and Torpedo 7, and its move into online sales.

Chief financial officer Mark Yeoman said the company has offered financial services for the past 14 years in a joint venture with Westpac Banking Corp, but after the 2013 acquisition of Noel Leeming decided to take it in-house and capture the value.

“The short-term driver is to diversify an earnings stream for the group that is away from the retail business,” Yeoman said. “It allows us to tailor financial services to support our retail businesses which is hard to do when you are white-labelling generic products.”

Warehouse reported a $2.8 million loss from its financial services arm in 2015 and Yeoman said they hadn’t yet put a number of expected losses for 2016. He said it could take two years before Warehouse Money makes money but profits would then be put back into the business to ensure it hits the targeted scale.

The group bought Diners Club New Zealand for $3 million last year and last month spent $7.3 million buying Westpac out of their joint credit card lending venture. It provided the loans for the company’s Red Card which it stopped issuing in October.

That move gave it a loan book of about $57

million and 42,000 cardholders.

Yeoman says the $115 million in equity it raised last year is expected to provide sufficient funding to meet the $600 million loan book targeted by 2020, and it had also arranged a subordinated debt facility with Westpac that would cover the remaining 80 per cent of the loans.

The two Warehouse-branded Visa credit cards have no establishment or annual fees and charge an interest rate of 19.95 per cent. The Warehouse Money card offers shoppers a 5 per cent discount in all Red Sheds stores and online, including sales items. The Purple card is aimed at consumers who favour rewards schemes.

The rewards dollars are redeemed at Warehouse stores.

The retailer has partnered with insurance providers nib and Vero to provide five new insurance products covering travel, health, car, home, and contents insurance.

It already offers pet insurance in conjunction with Petplan.

Yeoman, who is also CEO of the Warehouse Group Financial Services, said the financial products are designed to be simple to understand and will “help us to develop a leading New Zealand retail financial services company.”

Tania Benyon, CEO of group sourcing support, said pricing details for the group’s planned pre-pay mobile offering in conjunction with partner Two Degrees Mobile will be announced on November 23.

She said they had been in talks with all three major telecommunications providers over the past 18 months but felt 2degrees was the best fit for its customer base.

Benyon wouldn’t reveal the targets the group has for Warehouse Mobile but said pre-pay already accounts for two-thirds of the mobile market.

The phones and pre-pay packages will sell only in the Red Sheds though may later be extended to Warehouse Stationery. The retailer will continue to sell other pre-pay brands and phones in its existing range.

GARFIELD

7/11 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

SUDOKU Fill the grid so that every column, every row and 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9.

www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know better than to move just to look busy. Your activities have to mean something or you’re unlikely to carry them out. There’s a huge difference between activity and achievement.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your sense of justice is aligned with the great forces of the universe. It will work out in a way that you think is fair. This is satisfying when it has to do with your love life.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Happy things will happen.

Upbeat people will assist you, friendly advice will prove sound, and, best of all, the one you are attracted to will give you evidence that the feeling is mutual.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There are fascinating people you’d like to follow around, just to see how they do it. Actually, you might be surprised by how many people feel that way about you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It feels good to get positive feedback, but it’s not as helpful as complaints. When your ego is small, your ability to take criticism and transform it into an edge is huge.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your roles today will tend toward the extreme, such as the sweetest friend on earth, and the world’s greatest romantic. But beware: once you’re known in a certain way, you’ll be expected to keep it up.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Expect some inner turbulence, likely triggered by one who has no idea what your triggers are. Remind yourself with a loving action that you are an important and cherished member of the human race.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Act on your sensational ideas and you’ll debunk the myth of the tortured artist. You live the life of a sane, happy and productive creative dynamo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): As usual, Lady Luck plays a key role in your good fortune over the weekend. As a bonus, this lady favours you and she doesn’t require or even want you to pay her back.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): As you continue along this path, some landmarks will look suspiciously familiar to you. No, you haven’t passed this way before, but your prior journeys prepared you for this.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You treat them like royalty and they adore you right back. That’s what makes the next 24 hours lovely. It’s possible you won’t totally appreciate this for several months.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Unlike some people, you don’t need an hour’s notice to leave the house.

Hear a good idea? You’ll be ready in a flash! Your organised and methodical nature makes it possible for you to be spontaneous.
