Parking tussle will cost

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A decision to strike a residents’ only parking deal near the Ashburton Art Gallery and Museum looks set to cost ratepayers even more money.

The council has decided not to adopt its transportation and parking bylaw and it will now prepare for a second – and until yesterday unexpected – hearing.

The decision that split the council has its roots in a deal forged to stop disquiet over the building project making its way

to the Environment Court.

Some Wills and Cameron Street residents fought the council over a raft of conditions around the construction of the art and history complex.

The council signed a side deal for resident-only parking when events were held in the gallery or museum. The street outside the Ashburton Domain was included in the deal.

Councillors were in a quandary at last month’s hearing on the bylaw. They could either codify a precedent in residents’

only parking zone or dismiss the side agreement.

They decided to honour the agreement – but yesterday, rather than voting to adopt the draft bylaw, they wanted a second round of debate on the residents’ only parking zone.

Stuart Wilson said this should only apply to the houses where owners had signed the original agreement and it should not apply to the domain side of Wills Street.

“Council has a legal and moral obligation to go with what it

originally signed and this is the bare minimum we can get away with,” he said.

He put his suggestion into an amendment. The vote split councillors and saw mayor Angus McKay hog-tied by his stated position of not voting against government policy. His casting vote saw the amendment lost.

Several councillors were unhappy that they had not been part of the hearing process because it had been held during council’s official winter break.

They wanted their votes counted too.

Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel advised councillors that, if the council voted not to adopt the bylaw, it had to go back to square one and start again.

If councillors adopted the draft bylaw they created a parking precedent; if they turned it down they faced another hearing.

The motion was lost 5 to 7. A hearing will have to be reconvened.

A message from Dumbledore JK Rowling has reportedly written a letter, as her Harry Potter character Dumbledore, to a survivor of a mass shooting in the US. Cassidy Stay’s parents, two brothers and two sisters were shot dead at their home in Houston, Texas, on July 9. The 15-yearold managed to survive the shooting by playing dead. At a memorial service following the tragedy the teenager used a quote from the character Dumbledore from Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

“Happiness can be found even in darkest of times, if one remembers to turn on the light,” Stay said, paraphrasing from Rowling’s book. Apparently a friend of Stay’s had confirmed Rowling since sent her a personalised letter from Dumbledore, hand-written in purple ink.

Lorde’s lyrics up for auction The lyrics sheet to Lorde’s hit song Royals – signed by the Kiwi star and her co-writer Joel Little – is up for auction. The Play It Strange Trust, which supports young New Zealand musicians, listed the lyrics sheet on Trade Me yesterday morning with a starting bid of $1000. The trust requested the lyrics sheet from Lorde after she and Little won last year’s Apra Silver Scroll Award for the hit song. “The time has come to take the sheet from its special hiding place and have it framed, with all of the care and quality it deserves, to auction off on Trade Me for the benefit of Play It Strange in running future programmes for our young lyricists and songwriters,” the trust said.

We were a spirited and sporting bunch in 1904 – even after the British Lions beat Canterbury/West Coast: The British football team passed through Ashburton by the express today. A large crowd gathered at the station to gaze upon the victors of Saturday’s big match and as the train steamed off, three cheers were given, to which the Britishers gave responsive cheers.

‘My ex killed Jim Morrison’ British singer Marianne Faithfull has told an interviewer her former boyfriend accidentally killed iconic rock singer Jim Morrison of The Doors 43 years ago. Morrison was found dead aged 27 in July 1971 in the bathroom of his Paris apartment and no autopsy was performed on his body. Faithfull told Mojo magazine that her then-boyfriend Jean de Breteuil, known as the heroin dealer to the stars, had accidentally killed Morrison by giving him drugs that were too strong.

The couple had travelled to Paris, and on their arrival de Breteuil said he had to visit Morrison’s apartment. Faithfull stayed behind at their hotel. “And he went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. I mean I’m sure it was an accident. Poor bastard.

The smack (heroin) was too strong?

Yeah. And he died ... everybody connected to the death of this poor guy is dead now. Except me.”

Toy tests a serious business Six-year-old Chaz Stensness is taking his new job as a toy tester seriously. The Tauranga boy is one of four children nationwide selected to be an official toy tester for The Warehouse for one year. To enter, he had to send in a video explaining why he would be good for the job. He will get up to $200 worth of new toys sent to his house every month for testing plus $8000 cash. He gets to keep all the toys he tests. Chaz, a huge Lego fan, wanted to make sure all the toys he tests were safe for other children. Chaz had not yet told his friends about his important new job. His mum Angela Stensness said Chaz had to share a piece of news at school on Monday and had been tossing up between telling his class about becoming a toy tester or showing them his latest Lego creation. The Lego won. “I don’t think he understands the nature of the prize, which is quite good because it’s not going to his head.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT HOUSE PRICES

House prices continue upward

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

House prices in the Ashburton District have risen 6.6 per cent over the past 12 months to hit a new high of $321,402.

According to QV’s residential price movement index this puts Ashburton as having one of the fastest growing housing markets in New Zealand behind the greater Auckland area. In the

South Island only central, north and south west Christchurch and Selwyn showed a greater price increase for the year.

Most areas in greater Auckland recorded double digit percentage increases.

Over the past three months, prices in the Ashburton District also increased at a rate that was above most parts of New Zealand. Over that period houses in

the district rose in price by an average of 2.1 per cent. Only Selwyn, Clutha and Central Otago had greater increases.

Nationally the greatest price rise over the past year was in Waitakere, 14.5 per cent, with the average house price $564.875; the area where house prices dropped the most was Buller where a 5.9 per cent drop brought the average house price

down to $207,288.

There are still several spots around New Zealand where a house can be bought for less than $200,000; South Waikato at an average price of $126,632 is the cheapest but Ruapehu, Tararua, Waimate and Clutha also make it onto the affordable housing list.

The least affordable place in the country is in the east of

Auckland city, $1.054 million followed by Auckland’s coastal North Shore, $990,893 and the North Shore, $857,239. In the South Island, Queenstown Lakes remains the most expensive area to buy a house with an average price of $676,230.

New Zealand’s average price is $479,193 with the average increase over the past year, 7.6 per cent.

■ ALL BLACKS IN ASHBURTON

All Blacks share memories with their Ashburton fans By eriN TaSker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton selfie gave three All Blacks something to remember their visit by yesterday.

Kieran Read, Owen Franks and Dominic Bird visited Ashburton as part of a nationwide All Blacks tour yesterday, which took in provincial towns around the country, and in just three hours they visited Ashburton College, Ashburton Intermediate, and took part in a meet and greet with members of the public.

It was a quick trip, but one which will be remembered by many Mid Canterbury youngsters for years to come. They had the opportunity to meet their idols, throw a ball around with them, have their photo taken with them, and get their autographs.

Such was the speed of the visit, the stars of the show were a little late for the last stop on their Ashburton visit at the Sinclair Centre, but the excited crowd wasn’t bothered.

There they were welcomed

by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay – who was dwarfed by

Two-year-old Jett Wilson was one of the younger Mid Cantabrians to showcase his rugby skills to All Blacks including Kieran Read yesterday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 070814-TM-022

2.06 metre tall Bird – before answering a few questions for the crowd of young and old and taking part in a fun game with the kids.

They gave advice – Bird told the young rugby players in the crowd to work hard, train hard

and follow their dreams – and with their Crusaders hats on, the trio spoke of their disappointment over losing the Super Rugby final to the Waratahs.

When asked what they’d be doing if they didn’t play rugby, Bird found some Ashburton

fans.

“I’d be running for mayor of Ashburton,” he said.

“You’ve got my vote,” someone in the crowd replied.

Asked to describe their most memorable tries, Bird replied he hadn’t yet scored one in Su-

per Rugby so he had to go back to his days playing for Lincoln University to find his, while Read said his was a match-winner against South Africa at Ellis Park.

Franks, a shy man of few words up until then, proudly told the crowd of his finest moments on the rugby field.

“I’ve got two to choose from.

The last one I remember was against the Brumbies in 2010 in the corner and I had to run about 10 metres - it was pretty exciting. And the year before against the Reds I had one which was pretty similar; I was on the wing having a bit of a breather and the ball came my way,” Franks said.

The All Blacks finished their visit to the Sinclair Centre by taking a selfie with their fans.

Earlier in the morning the players had shared some of their try-scoring secrets with Ashburton College’s rugby players, before heading to Ashburton Intermediate to meet the students and have a cup of tea with the staff.

■ HIPKINS VISITS MID CANTERBURY

In brief

Education policy outlined

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury pupils can expect more one-on-one teaching, smaller class sizes and parents can expect better reporting on their child’s progress, says Labour education spokesman Chris Hipkins.

He was in town yesterday and spoke about the future of education under a Labour-lead government.

Mr Hipkins said Mid Canterbury parents needed to question whether they wanted an education system that focused on standards, or focused on the best for every child.

One of Labour’s planned changes was the removal of national standards. It affected Year 1 to 8 pupils.

Mr Hipkins said children were different and there were better ways of getting better information to parents about their child’s progress.

The current system treated children as if they were the same but real life was not like that, he said.

“Kids are different and good at different things, we need to embrace their diversity,” he said.

Two stolen vehicles were located late on Tuesday, on the Methven Highway and Racecourse Road.

Shoplifters nabbed Labour education spokesman Chris Hipkins spoke to Mid Canterbury principals about the future of education under a Labour-lead government.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 170814-TM-025

“(The system) was poorly constructed and poorly implemented.”

“We are over assessing kids in New Zealand schools … but it doesn’t help their learning,” he said.

“We still want the progress reports to parents but there are better ways of doing it.”

With the growing number of

pupils in Mid Canterbury, Mr Hipkins expected the growth to be managed, under guidance but with all the schools involved in a collaborative way “to get the best outcome for children”.

Labour planned to use the $359m budgeted by the current government for education to increase teacher numbers and

create smaller class sizes.

There would also be additional funding with $100 per child a year given to each school in place of donation requests giving some Mid Canterbury schools access to thousands of extra dollars a year.

Labour also wanted all children to have access to digital technology devices.

Fire forces family to evacuate their home erin.T@Theguardian.co.nz

A Lyndhurst family was forced to evacuate yesterday as a nearby fire threatened their home.

The fire started shortly after 6.30am and by the time firefighters arrived a number of trees and a couple of small sheds in the middle of the small Lyndhurst village were completely involved by fire.

A couple turning their electric blanket on to warm up their bed on Wednesday night received a fright when the bed got a lot toastier than they ever imagined.

The bed caught fire and it turned out their dog was to blame. It appeared the dog had used an electric blanket power cord as a chew toy and damaged it, so when the blanket was turned on it started a fire. Although the bed was destroyed, the only other real damage was to the carpet below.

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade station officer Robbie Maw said the couple did well to move things out of the way of the fire to prevent it from spreading. He said it was one of the more unusual causes behind a fire that he had seen.

■ LYNDHURST FIRE

By Erin TaskEr

Dog blamed for fire

Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Gary Blackwell said he was “almost 100 per cent sure” the fire was a result of embers from a fire which had been burnt in a nearby drum being whipped up by strong winds and being blown five or six metres into the sheds and trees.

“It was quite spectacular, we could see it going down the road,” Mr Blackwell said.

“It was quite lucky it didn’t spread to a nearby house which was right in the line. Sparks were going right over the top of the house.”

The family who lived at the house evacuated, but fortunately firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze and prevent it from spreading any further.

Strong winds may have sent the embers flying to start the fire, but by the time firefight-

ers arrived the winds had died down, and that helped firefighters, Mr Blackwell said.

A digger also had to be called in to help drag burning firewood from one of the sheds.

Mr Blackwell said the fire should be taken as a warning.

“It’s a reminder to anyone who’s burning anything in a drum, to make sure it’s out, especially with the winds we have had,” he said.

Two women were apprehended for shoplifting in Ashburton on Wednesday afternoon.

Hinds burglary A burglary was reported at a Hinds address. A TV, stereo, iPad and iPod were among the items taken.

Medical assist The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade attended a medical assist call-out at 5.45pm on Wednesday night.

Hotshapers back on An advertisement for a pair of pants that claims to help wearers lose weight will be back on television screens next week. The Hotshapers television ad was taken off the air after a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority.

After minor revisions were made the ad could be back on television screens next week.

■ NORTHPARK ROAD CROSSING

In brief

Barrier arm fight continues

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If discussion and a reasoned approach fail, then a group of Ashburton business people are prepared to get tough on KiwiRail in their efforts to have barrier arms installed at the notorious Northpark Road rail crossing.

A meeting was held this week between Mayor Angus McKay, chief executive Andrew Dalziel and a small group of business people who are determined to take the barrier arm fight to the top.

One of those involved, Neal Shaw, said the group wanted

to put pressure on KiwiRail to improve warning signs at the crossing where a fatality occurred last month.

KiwiRail has committed to installing lights and bells at the crossing but is refusing to extend this to barrier arms saying the crossing does not meet its accident rate criteria.

“We’re looking at this stage to take a polite, ‘we want to work with you approach’.

We’re trying to be friendly and co-operative but if that doesn’t work we’ll be galvanizing the community,” Mr Shaw said.

While he had become involved in the barrier arm is-

sue because the latest fatality involved family of one of his staff, Mr Shaw said other businesses had been pushing for improved safety precautions for some time.

“We’ve even had private enterprise offer to pay but still KiwiRail won’t do anything.”

If a business did not make its workplace safe for employees then it would be for the ‘high jump’ if there was an accident; it should be no different for KiwiRail and an accident riddled intersection, he said.

Mr Dalziel said that he and Mr McKay had undertaken to co-ordinate the community and

business drive to have barrier arms installed.

“We’ll fly where ever we need to go to meet with their chief executive.”

At that meeting the issue of barrier arms would be pushed with urgency and a community petition would also be presented, he said.

The petition was started

by Simon Carson of the Road Transport Association, calling on KiwiRail to install barrier arms at the crossing.

Its target is 15,000 signatures and within a few days of its launch, 2500 people had signed.

■ COOK ISLANDS CONCERT

Islanders to stage fundraising concert The Tinwald Memorial Hall will be echoing to the sound of drums, pounding feet and song on Saturday when the Cook Islands’ church community stages a fundraising concert.

And not only will there be dancers, drummers and singers showcasing the best of music from the Cook Islands, the community will also be turning on a first class meal.

The concert has a two-fold purpose, said one of the organisers Eleanor Hemi; it’s about raising money, but it’s also about show-casing the Cook Islands culture.

Weeks of rehearsals have gone into fine-tuning the two-hour song and dance extravaganza and the concert troupe plan to take their show on the road next month to several North Island locations.

The concert will involve about 42 performers from primary aged children through to adults and will be held in the Tinwald Hall on Saturday at 5pm.

Food and entertainment are in- Jonathan Vaevae, 12 and Cody Terori, 13, dancing up a storm with tutor and rummer Tamacluded in the ticket price and door rua Kiria in rehearsal for a Cook Islands Church fundraising concert on Saturday. sales will be available on the night.

A driver turned right out of a pub carpark last night, drove 50 metres before running a red light, crossing four lanes of traffic, and smashing into a Christchurch house. The driver, a man in his 50s, had been at Coasters Tavern on Daniels Rd in the Redwood suburb of Christchurch before the crash, witnesses said. He appeared to have come out of the pub carpark, turned right on to Daniels Rd, and gone through a red light, across four lanes of traffic, narrowly missing a traffic light pole, a sturdy tree, before scything through a hedge, across a lawn, and into the weatherboard council flat. - APNZ

Whoops! Wrong car It was more Mr Bean than Gone in 60 Seconds. A Gore man borrowed his mum’s car to rent a DVD from United Video. So far so good.

However, it turns out the 32-yearold borrowed more than just a movie. “Because he wasn’t familiar with mum’s car, he jumped into the first similar looking car he found – that still had the keys in it – and drove that home,” Senior Sergeant Craig Brown, of Dunedin, said.

Meanwhile, a 21-year-old man reported his car had been stolen from outside the video store. Mr Brown said the man realised he had driven the wrong car home, and when he returned to the store “found his mum’s car where he had left it”.

Frustration boils over The frustration of Stephen Dudley’s family exploded in an Auckland court yesterday when a judge decided not to convict the teen who assaulted the schoolboy before his death. The 18-yearold, whose name is permanently suppressed, attacked 15-year-old Stephen after a rugby practice - punching him in the neck and continuing the attack while Stephen was on the ground.

In the High Court at Auckland, Justice Helen Winkelmann indicated early in the sentencing process that she would grant the teen a discharge without conviction, to the anger of the Dudley family in the public gallery.

“You’re f***ing joking,” his father Brent Dudley shouted. “His actions caused my son’s death... That’s justice for you New Zealand. The law’s an ass.”

■ PLANE WRECKAGE FOUND

Wreckage contains a body Plane wreckage which likely belongs to a man who went missing in his homemade bi-plane earlier this year was found yesterday, and his estranged wife says “it’s like a miracle”.

The small plane was found in the ocean by the Sanford fishing trawler San Kawhai, an 18.50 metre trawler, near Cape Barrier earlier yesterday.

Earlier this year a homemade bi-plane piloted by 53-year-old Daroish Kraidy went missing near the area. An extensive aerial and sea search failed to find the plane or Mr Kraidy.

Mr Kraidy’s wife Judy said yesterday she had spoken to police and the news of the plane wreckage was a relief.

Car ploughs into house

“We absolutely knew he was gone out to sea somewhere,” she said.

“I always said if he was to be found it would be purely by accident, and that’s exactly what happened – it’s like a miracle. It’s a very big ocean.” The find was reported to police at about 11.10am. The plane discovered yesterday contained a body.

Mike Richards of the Civil Aviation Authority said Mr Kraidy’s plane was the only missing plane that he knew of.

“It’s an unusual case to say the least.”

Though police had not confirmed the plane was her husband’s, Mrs Kraidy said everything pointed towards it being him and it would be good to finally be able to recover his body and get “closure”. - APNZ

Tributes flowed yesterday at the funeral of Millie Elder-Holmes’ partner Connor Morris. Mr Morris 26, who died following a brawl overnight on Saturday, was laid to rest following a funeral service yesterday. Around 200 gang members from across Auckland were among mourners who came to pay their last respects to the son of prominent Head Hunters member Chris Morris at the east chapter’s fight club in Ellerslie.

Dressed in a black T-shirt emblazoned with a photograph of her boyfriend and the words, ‘rest easy Connor Morris’, Ms ElderHolmes was comforted by family and friends. Among the mourners who packed into the gang’s gym, were her brother Reuben and stepmother Lady Deborah Holmes, as well as former deputy prime minister Sir Don McKinnon and his wife Lady Claire.

In brief

Jihadist attack kills dozens Jihadists from the Islamic State (IS) group have seized parts of a military base in Syria’s Raqa province in fierce fighting that left dozens dead.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the extremist group was engaged in heavy fighting with troops at Brigade 93 in Raqa, where IS already controls the regional capital and significant amounts of territory.

The monitor said at least 27 regime forces had been killed, along with 11 jihadists, including three who launched the assault by blowing themselves up at the entrance to the base and around it on Wednesday night.

The Observatory said IS fighters “were in control of large parts of the base”.

Many regime troops had withdrawn to Brigade 93 last month, after IS seized the Division 17 base in fighting that left at least 85 soldiers dead, according to the Observatory.

That assault left nearly all of Raqa province under IS control, ex-

cept Brigade 93 and Tabaqa military airport, which were still held by the army.

The two-day assault on Division 17 saw more than 50 troops summarily executed, including some who were beheaded, with jihadists later putting their severed heads on display.

IS, which first emerged in Syria’s war in spring 2013, has since imposed near-total control in Raqa province and Deir Ezzor on the Iraq border.

In June, the group proclaimed a “caliphate” straddling Syria and Iraq.

Some Western-backed rebels seeking President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster initially welcomed IS as a potential ally, but the extremist group’s abuses and quest for domination has turned the opposition against it.

Syria’s war has killed more than 170,000 people since March 2011.

Survivors applaud Khmer Rouge sentences

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s domestic approval rating has soared to 87 per cent, pollsters say, the highest level in six years as Russia is locked in a stand-off with the West over Ukraine. Nearly one in 10 Russians polled by the independent Levada research centre said they approved of Putin’s policies when the study was conducted at the beginning of August.

The figure is just one per cent lower than the Kremlin strongman’s historic popularity peak in August 2008 when Moscow fought a brief war with Georgia.

Final arguments begin South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius has returned to the dock to hear concluding arguments in his murder trial, with the star sprinter facing life in prison if found guilty.

Prosecutorr Gerrie Nel opened proceedings, setting out the state’s case that Pistorius deliberately murdered his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. Pistorius, who denies the charge, appeared at the Pretoria High Court wearing glasses and a dark suit, clenching his jaw as he sat in the dock. Yesterday saw Barry Steenkamp, Reeva’s father, and Henke Pistorius, Oscar’s father, make their first appearances in court as the emotion-filled trial reaches its finale.

KUGA RANGE FROM

By Preeti Jha Two Khmer Rouge leaders have been jailed for life after being found guilty of crimes against humanity, in the first sentences against top figures of a regime responsible for the deaths of up to two million Cambodians.

Neither “Brother Number Two” Nuon Chea, 88, nor former head of state Khieu Samphan, 83, betrayed any emotion as the sentences were handed down.

But outside the UN-backed court, regime survivors applauded, many weeping after a 35-year wait for justice.

Judge Nil Nonn said the defendants, who are the most senior surviving Khmer Rouge leaders, were “guilty of the crimes against humanity, of extermination ... political persecution, and other inhumane acts”.

Their lawyers swiftly announced an intention to appeal the verdict, but the judge said the gravity of the crimes meant the pair “shall remain in detention until this judgment becomes final”.

Prosecutors had sought the maximum life terms for the men, who played key roles in a regime that left around a quarter of the country’s population dead during the “Killing Fields” era from 1975-1979.

Led by “Brother Number One” Pol Pot, who died in 1998 without ever facing justice, the Khmer Rouge dismantled modern society in their quest for an agrarian utopia.

Regime atrocities affected virtually every family in Cambodia as Pol Pot’s peasant army - infamous for their red chequered scarves and dark clothing slaughtered perceived enemies of their revolution and emptied whole towns and cities at gunpoint to work in the fields.

The plan spectacularly backfired, leading to the collapse of the economy and mass starvation.

Nuon Chea, wearing his trademark sunglasses, sat in a wheelchair in the dock as the verdict was read, while Khieu Samphan stood impassive next to him.

Late in their two-year trial both men expressed remorse for the suffering the Khmer Rouge inflicted on Cambodia, but remained staunch in denying knowledge of its crimes at the time.

The ruling is likely to bring a level of relief to those who survived the Khmer Rouge years, which saw much of Cambodia’s population wiped out by starvation, overwork, torture or execution by ruthless Khmer Rouge cadres.

“This is the justice that I have been waiting for these last 35 years,” said 70-year-old survivor Khieu Pheatarak, one of a few dozen survivors at the Phnom Penh-based court to hear the verdict.

“I will never forget the suffering but this is a great relief for me.

“It is a victory and an historic day for all Cambodians,” she said.

OUR VIEW

Haters getting left behind Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

hey say a picture paints a thousand words. But for yesterday’s edition of the Guardian, I decided some words are not worth sharing.

Prime among those words was “Fag”, a sad little word this week scratched in large letters on the bonnet of a car owned by a gay man living in Ashburton.

The messy scrawl made for an evocative photograph. But then, so would a few frames of showing the Nazi insignia carved on the car’s rear panels.

I decided we would not run a photograph because I did not think the person or people who had a crack at the man’s car deserved publicity.

The word they chose is so provocative that a photograph would have simply disseminated their clumsy message of hate to homes that do not need it.

The insignia they chose was worse. Decades earlier, it was an insignia whose hate knew no bounds. It was an insignia that our forebears fought against.

So, I decided a photograph would have had the Guardian tell the vandal’s story. The words we published told the story of their victim.

We told Jamie Nelson’s story because he was brave enough to tell it. The vandal knows who he is and will doubtless be angry that we all now know of their cowardice.

We also told his story because it was news. “News” is most usually about something that deviates from the norm. News is usually unexpected and, well, new.

What happened to Mr Nelson seemed so far out of kilter with progressive, modern attitudes that it was almost certainly out of the norm.

Sure, the increasingly dwindling ranks of anachronistic “haters” are still there – but their latest effort smacks of desperation as our world leaves them behind.

Mr Nelson said his sexuality has never been an issue at work, at home or in his social life.

Ashburton is more tolerant than the vandalism suggests.

Perhaps it is. And perhaps that tolerance is reinforced when it is tested.

YOUR VIEW Driver inattention project A big congratulations is in order to Mac Burdett in regard to his successful project on driver inattention.

This project has produced some really positive, practical results and I am sure they will be well received by all involved, in finding ways of making our roads safer to drive on.

Rumble strips are very widely used overseas for just the reason Mac has created his project around, to raise driver awareness at strategic points.

Driver inattention is a factor often overlooked in the road safety area, but I know, that so far as my AA district council is concerned, it is a subject we have on our table regularly for

CRUMB

discussion at monthly meetings, along with the ongoing issue of driver fatigue.

It is refreshing to see someone so young making a positive contribution to road safety.

Well done Mac, maybe you would like to come along to one of our monthly AA council meetings in Christchurch, and share the results of your project with us.

Food waste In response to the article front page of the Guardian yesterday – there are a number of easy options for you to keep your food waste out of the land-

fill rather than relying on the council to come and pick it up.

Food waste is a resource rather than rubbish, so why not reap the benefits of composting.

The soils that we grow our food on are seriously depleted of essential minerals that keep us healthy and nutrient deficiency is resulting in serious health problems for all ages.

We all need to play a part in replenishing our soils. The diversity of materials we feed into our worm farms, bokashi buckets or compost bins adds richness to our gardens. Why waste it?

In Ashburton practical help and advice on setting up the home-composting system that will best work for you to keep your food waste out of the

landfill and save you money on buying additional rubbish bags is only a phone call away.

Contact us and we can help you and your family or household to set up a home-composting system that works for you.

FREE workshops are held at the Eco Education Centre monthly, the next one is Monday, August 18, 1-2pm.

Alternatively we can come and talk to your group or you can book in a suitable time for a composting demo.

The Mastagard Education programme is supported by Ashburton District Council.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yes 88%

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

T

hings I’ve learnt this week.

I learnt that interviewing Sir Robert Jones was nowhere near as nervewracking as I thought it was going to be.

He has a new book out No Punches Pulled: The Best of Bob Jones and his publisher offered me the chat with some giveaway copies of the book. I jumped at the opportunity and almost instantly questioned my decision.

I knew he was a straight shooter and didn’t suffer fools gladly, just ask TVNZ journo Rod Vaughan who infamously bashed his nose into Bob’s fist while Jones was fishing in a remote valley near Taupo.

I knew he despised political correctness and although I loved that about the man, it also unsettled me before our chat.

I was also excited at the prospect that the most popular columnist for the New Zealand Herald may also pass on some tips to help this amateur (thrown into the deep end and dog-paddling madly).

Sixteen minutes worth of interview later I was thrilled with my chat with him and had a new respect for the man.

He is still as politically incorrect as ever and had a lash at “mad, middle-age feminists” who in his eyes are responsible for a lot of the PC rubbish in this world we live in.

Although he did almost show a soft side when he “pitied the poor buggers married to them”.

When he first started writing his column he used to submit 1200 words and sometimes more. An editor from his past suggested his column would be better if it was around the 800 word mark each week, Jones took this as an insult initially and thought the editor was trying to show him the door.

After much discussion Jones agreed and now his columns are EXACTLY 800 words.

No 12%

Today’s online poll question Q: Is there a culture of homophobia in Mid Canterbury?

Not 801 or 799, but 800 exactly each and every time and if they’re not, then there’s war because some “bloody stupid sub-editor” has changed it around.

“That is deeply annoying because the interferences are very often nonsense”, but says he understands they have a lot on their plates and are always concerned about libel cases.

Jones considers himself an authority on that subject, “apparently I have a world record for winning libel cases and I’ve never lost one and everyone has had a go at me and I’ve had a go at plenty”.

He hand writes every column with a new pad, blotting paper and a fountain pen; “I couldn’t imagine using one of those ballpoint pens”. It’s all part of the pleasure he gets from writing his columns.

He does use a computer, but

mainly for information, and pops into the office to get his writing typed out.

Although he has a company with assets worth $1.5 billion, he considers himself a columnist, which he’s been doing since 1966.

Jones loves boxing and was just drafting a letter to Kevin Barry about Joseph Parker. He says Parker is better than Ali at age 18. “I’ve never seen such a natural talent and Parker has a wonderful career ahead of him if he wants it.”

It was a fascinating 16 minutes and when he finished the chat with “Call me anytime old boy” it made my day. If you missed the chat, you can catch a replay after 9am tomorrow morning on Hokonui Mid Canterbury 92.5fm.

■ AUCKLAND HIGH COURT

In brief Sharemarket blunder The Financial Markets Authority has contacted sharemarket operator NZX over a blunder on Friday that resulted in some investors selling shares in Lyttelton Port when they were unaware of a higher takeover price. Details of council-owned Christchurch City Holdings’ $3.95 a share takeover offer for the Canterbury port were buried in a substantial security holder notice published by Lyttelton Port shareholder Port Otago at 2.24pm. More than 42,000 shares, worth $147,592, were sold in 13 trades at $3.30 a share to $3.59 a share in the period between the SSH notice’s publication and a trading halt being placed on the stock at 2.57pm.

Lyttelton Port shares closed up 24 per cent on Friday at $4.10. - NZH

Housing market slows New Zealand property values rose at the slowest annual pace in 13 months in July as rising interest rates, restrictions on low-equity home loans and the onset of winter took the heat out of the housing market. Property values nationwide rose 7.6 per cent in July from a year earlier, slowing from an 8 per cent annual pace in June, according to state-owned valuer Quotable Value.

Market manipulation admitted

By HamisH FletcHer Diligent Board Member Services founder Brian Henry has admitted to market manipulation and will pay a $130,000 penalty after settling with the Financial Markets Authority, the regulator says.

The FMA last year launched a case against Henry alleging certain orders and trades Henry made of Diligent shares in 2010 breached the market manipulation provisions of the Securities Markets Act. It is the first case of market manipulation brought in New Zealand.

The regulator yesterday said Henry had admitted six breaches of this law, which could have come with a penalty of up to $6 million.

After a penalty hearing in the High Court at Auckland earlier this week, Justice Geoffrey Venning yesterday declared Henry had breached prohibitions

“While Mr Henry’s actions in themselves were deliberate, he did not deliberately set out to breach the Act. It is acknowledged his liability arises because ‘he ought to have been aware’ that what he was doing was a breach”.

New-York based Henry said in a statement he was pleased to have settled with the FMA. “Back in 2010 I was not certain of my obligations when trading in NZX listed shares and I did make a call to the Securities Commission to seek advice at that time,” he said. “The trades

were small and there was no material gain involved so I was not surprised when no action was taken.

“However, a year ago, three years after the trades, the FMA decided that they had a valid point to make about the integrity of the market, and I respect that. It is disappointing that it has taken four years and extensive legal fees for both parties to get to this point. I am delighted to have this issue finally settled with an outcome that is fair and reflective of the issues raised by the Authority,” he said. - NZH

against market manipulation.

“The conduct that Mr Henry engaged in undermines the development of a fair, efficient, and transparent financial market. Such market manipulation is likely to undermine the integrity of the NZX and jeopardise the confidence of both overseas and domestic investors in the NZ security markets.”

The FMA and Henry both suggested a penalty of $130,000, which the judge approved. The penalty is to be applied first to the FMA’s costs.

Justice Venning said Henry made no discernable profit from the conduct.

“Mr Henry apparently saw himself as an amateur ‘market maker’ providing support and liquidity for Diligent’s stock.

“However, he ought to have known that his trading was likely to give a misleading appearance of the demand for Diligent shares,” the judge said.

Markets this week have continued to pull back sparking discussion that a long anticipated correction may be on the cards.

Globally, investors continue to process geo-political risk as fighting in Gaza seems to have subsided with renewed attempts at a ceasefire holding.

There continues to be tension between the Ukraine and Russia as the Kremlin fights back against the sanctions that the US and European Union have enforced.

The New Zealand dollar has continued to fall and is now well below its peaks seen at the beginning of July against the greenback.

Contributing to the drop this week was GlobalDairyTrade auction. At the latest auction prices fell another 8.4 per cent and are now 40 per cent below the February highs. The continual drop has been largely attributed to stockpiling in China, which could indicate that the drop is temporary.

Also contributing to the lower prices was the increase in supply, most of which was coming from Europe. This is the eleventh drop in prices from the last twelve auctions and has sparked speculation that the forecast payout for the 2014/15 season of $6 per kilo of milk solids could fall further.

This comes just a week after Fonterra dropped the forecast yet again, now down $2.40 from

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

the record high payout seen in the 2013/14 season This week also saw the release of New Zealand’s second quarter employment statistics and showed that the unemployment rate is now at a 5 year low of 5.6%. Employment growth in Canterbury was a key driver of the lower rate as the rebuild in the area starts to really get under way.

Overall the number of people employed increased by 10,000 although the labour force participation rate, the number of eligible people actively seeking employment, fell slightly. Statistics New Zealand also released the Labour Cost Index for the June quarter. Figures showed that the average weekly full time wage dropped 0.5 per cent from the previous quarter. This is still about a third lower than the Australian average.

However, New Zealand’s unemployment rate is now lower than Australia’s for the first time in over five years and the latest figures show that the gap appears to be widening. This week Australia released its unemployment rate for July which rose to 6.4 per cent from 6.0 per cent in

June. This is the highest level of unemployment Australia has seen on over 10 years.

Earlier in the week the Reserve bank of Australia chose to keep rates steady at 2.50 per cent and even with the rise in unemployment, many are picking for this rate to remain where it is for some time yet.

The Australian dollar plunged on the news against the greenback more than half a cent.

Global reporting season is drawing to a close this week with more than 420 of the S&P500’s companies having reported for the quarter, this is close to 90 per cent of the market capitalisation. Just over 65 per cent of companies have beaten earnings estimates and over 60 per cent have beaten revenue estimates.

This leads nicely to our local reporting season which really gets under way next week.

Look out for half year results from Summerset and the NZX as well as full year results from Computershare, Commonwealth Bank, SkyCity and Steel & Tube.

The recent flurry of share market listings has been a distraction for the market, we are expecting reporting season to bring the focus back to the more established companies.

your tortillas, with baking paper.

■ Place a tortilla in bottom of the tin, then layer balsamic mushrooms across. Place another tortilla on top. Layer pumpkin next and top with a tortilla. Then layer baby spinach with grated cheese and top with a tortilla.

Spoon minced beef mixture over tortilla stack next, and top again. Finally, put on the roasted red capsicums. Top again with a tortilla.

■ Bake stack in oven for 15–20 minutes until it is well heated through and cheese has melted.

■ In a saucepan heat tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend well. Drizzle over tortilla stack and serve.

■ INTERNET SECURITY

In brief

Data breach ‘biggest ever’ Russian hackers stole 1.2 billion internet credentials from major US companies and others around the world in what is likely the biggest data breach ever, security researchers say.

The US firm Hold Security said the gang, which it dubbed “CyberVor”, collected confidential user names and passwords stolen from 420,000 websites, ranging from household names to small internet sites.

“As long as your data is somewhere on the World Wide Web, you may be affected by this breach,” Hold said.

“Your data has not necessarily been stolen from you directly.

“It could have been stolen from the service or goods providers to whom you entrust your personal information, from your employers, even from your friends and family.”

The security firm, which specialises in research on large data breaches, said the cybergang acquired databases of stolen credentials from fellow hackers on the black market, and then installed malware that allowed them to gain access to

Whether you have the shakes or are on a picnic, having a stable cup that’s easy to hold yet hard to knock over and spill is a bonus.

The Kangaroo Cup fits the profile.

Its 11 year old inventor wanted to help her grandfather whose Parkinson’s Disease meant he often spilled his drinks. She started out with mouldable prototyping plastic and iterated through several designs to come up with one that worked. Three legs that function as handles make for a stable cup, even on uneven surfaces, and also elevate the part that holds the liquid so it doesn’t touch the table.

That means no coaster or saucer is needed.

. . . and a recyclable cup

many websites and social media accounts.

“To the best of our knowledge, they mostly focused on stealing credentials, eventually ending up with the largest cache of stolen personal information, totalling over 1.2 billion unique sets of emails and passwords,” the researchers said.

“The CyberVors did not differentiate between small or large sites.

“They didn’t just target large companies; instead, they targeted every site that their victims visited.

“With hundreds of thousands of sites affected, the list includes many leaders in virtually all industries across the world, as well as a multitude of small or even personal websites.”

The researchers dubbed the hacker group CyberVor, us-

ing the Russian word “vor,” for thief.

The New York Times said the group of hackers based their operation in south central Russia, flanked by Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

The newspaper said that the group includes fewer than a dozen men in their 20s, and that their computer servers are believed to be somewhere in Russia.

Court ruling ‘critical’ for Wikipedia dia Foundation in a blog post.

Tretikov added that “the impact on Wikipedia is direct and critical.”

She noted that Wikipedia had received notices that at least 50 links to its content were to be deleted.

“The decision does not mandate that search engines disclose link censorship,” she said.

“We appreciate that some com-

Unless you remember to carry your keeper cup with you all the time if you stop to buy a coffee from a roadside vendor, you’ll end up throwing away the laminated paper cup it comes in. The plastic keeps the drink warm and stops the liquid from soaking through the paper but because it’s bonded to the paper the cup can’t be recycled. In the UK more than 2.5 billion such paper cups end up in landfill each year. The Green Your Cup though instead lightly glues a thin plastic liner into a recyclable paper cup. The two elements easily come apart during recycling, yet as far as the person drinking the coffee is concerned the cup looks, feels and tastes the same. There’s a neat solution to something that shouldn’t be a problem.

The wheels of trash

■ RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

The foundation which operates the Wikipedia information website said yesterday an EU court ruling on the right to be “forgotten” is creating “memory holes” in the internet.

The ruling “is undermining the world’s ability to freely access accurate and verifiable records about individuals and events,” said Lila Tretikov, executive director of the Wikime-

No-spill cup . . .

panies share our commitment to transparency and are providing public notice. This disclosure is essential for understanding the ruling’s negative impacts on all available knowledge.”

The comments are the latest to criticise the EU decision which ordered Google to remove links to information upon request from people in certain circumstances.

The European court “abandoned its responsibility to protect one of the most important and universal rights: the right to seek, receive, and impart information,” Tretikov said.

“As a consequence, accurate search results are vanishing.

The result is an internet riddled with memory holes - places where inconvenient information simply disappears.” - NZH

Rubbish gets carried out to harbours by storm water.

In Baltimore though they’re intercepting that trash before it can get loose in the harbour, thanks to a Solar Powered Water Wheel Trash Interceptor. The water wheel includes a floating dumpster and a trash-loading conveyor system powered by water current and solar power. A floating boom funnels debris, such as logs, bottles, tyres, takeaway cups and whatever else comes along to the front of the conveyor where it is scooped up by the conveyor belt before it falls into the dumpster barge. In the wheel’s first 3 months of operation it collected around 59,000 kg of debris.

Shield tops off great season

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury clinched the honours in the Hanan Shield secondary school girls’ rugby tournament on Wednesday with a 40-17 win over South Canterbury.

Coupled with the 29-20 win over North Otago a week earlier, Mid Canterbury’s comefrom-behind win locked up the Hanan Shield, with the other two sides set to meet next week before a Hanan Shield team will

be announced to play in the South Island tournament.

The Mid Canterbury team was essentially the same Ashburton College side that won the Aoraki competition last term, making it an unbeaten season for the group.

It was a season finished off in style, considering South Canterbury was made up from Craighead, Timaru Girls’, Roncalli, Waimate and Geraldine.

In an entertaining match the home side came back from be-

ing down 7-12 at the break to win by 23 points, following a second half hat-trick to Chloe Te Moananui.

South Canterbury opened the scoring with a converted try before Jamie Te Moananui responded for Mid Canterbury, with Naomi Cone landing the first of her five conversions.

However, South Canterbury scored again to take the lead at the break.

A stern talking to at the turnaround and Mid Canter-

bury came out a different team, dominating across the park to run in five second half tries.

Chloe Te Moananui scored either side of Cone’s try, with the latter converting all three.

Nicole Purdom then crossed the line before South Canterbury hit back with a converted try of their own.

Mid Canterbury had the final say when Te Moananui went over for her hat-trick on full time, which Cone converted to seal the 40-17 win.

■ FOOTBALL

Dream start for Junior Football Ferns The Junior Football Ferns made a remarkable start to the under-20 women’s World Cup yesterday with a 2-0 win over Paraguay in Montreal.

First half goals from Emma Rolston and Stephanie Skilton paved the way to victory in the Group D encounter at the Olympic Stadium, as neither team could find a second-half scoring touch.

Rolston’s opener came with

five first half minutes remaining as the Junior Football Ferns striker curled a left-footed effort inside the post from the edge of the area.

Kiwi celebrations erupted again just three minutes later as Skilton, influential throughout for the Junior Ferns side, finished into an open goal after excellent work from Katie Bowen saw the captain chase down possession and provide the

cross which produced the goal.

Yesterday’s result is the third victory for a New Zealand under-20 side at a women’s World Cup tournament after wins over Switzerland in 2012 and Chile in 2008.

The next match for the Junior Football Ferns is on Sunday at 9am (NZT) as they take on France, who were 5-1 winners over Costa Rica in the day’s other Group D clash. - APNZ

The Junior Ferns celebrate.

Kiwi sailors Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie have recovered from a mixed start to the Olympic test regatta in Rio to take the lead in the women’s 470 fleet after the second day’s racing. New Zealand also holds second place in both the men’s and women’s skiff events with world champion crews Peter Burling and Blair Tuke moving up in the 49er ranks and Alexandra Maloney and Molly Meech in the 49erFX delivering strong results. After struggling with shifty conditions and ocean swells on day one, Aleh and Powrie responded with a faultless performance yesterday. - NZH

Resisting temptation Spare a thought for Robert Berridge, a light heavyweight boxer preparing for a career defining fight, all the while watching every calorie he consumes in a place of many temptations. Berridge must drop from 82kg to 79kg. He is confident he will reach his target weight, but it’s not easy. One of 29-year-old Berridge’s strengths is his fitness and strength, but while heavyweight Joseph Parker can tuck into pasta, Berridge is limited to grilled meat - APNZ and steamed veges.

Rivalry put aside The need to reclaim the Bledisloe Cup from New Zealand after 11 straight series losses has kiboshed any simmering tensions between the Brumbies and Waratahs players, says Wallabies flyhalf Bernard Foley. With 11 Waratahs players joining the Wallabies camp on Wednesday after their celebrations, it was the first time have come face to face with the 11 Brumbies players they sent crashing out of the Super Rugby finals. The squad wasted no time addressing the grudge match, with Foley admitting they had spoken about the game to help put it behind them. Foley said no domestic rivalry was bigger than the All Blacks.

Jackman out to make amends

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGAURDIAN.CO.NZ

Losing to Mid Canterbury wasn’t the Southland debut Mark Jackman was hoping for, but he has been given an opportunity to prove himself against Otago today.

Jackman came on a first-five for Southland against his home union at the start of the second half, midway through the Hammers’ 29-point run.

The New Zealand Sevens representative then scored a runaway try from a charge down, which he converted, to put Southland ahead, only

for the Hammers to come home the stronger.

Southland were without their six Super Rugby players - Jamie Mackintosh, Josh Bekhuis, John Hardie, Elliot Dixon, Lima Sopoaga and Cardiff Vaega who joined the team on Monday, however, only one will start against Otago as new coach Brad Mooar takes another look at some of the players involved in the shock loss to Mid Canterbury.

Vaega will start in the midfield with Sopoaga, Jamie Mackintosh, Josh Bekhuis and Elliot Dixon all on the

extended 14-man bench, with Hardie on the injured list.

Jackman has been given a start slotting in at fullback, while fellow new recruit Jamie Verran has retained the number 10 jersey, but with the Super rugby players back on deck it will be a matter of time before Lima Sopoaga comes off the bench – meaning either Jackman or Verran will make way.

It is an opportunity to impress and Jackman’s goal is to be in the 22 from day one, when Southland open their ITM Cup campaign against Bay of Plenty in Invercargill on August 15.

Heartland competition looms for Mid Canterbury

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury host South Canterbury tomorrow in their final pre-season hit out before the start of the Heartland Rugby Championship in two weeks’ time.

In the win over Southland last weekend Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore was without 15 members of the squad, but he has had some selection headaches this week ahead of the

clash with South Canterbury.

The supposed understrength side delivered a strong performance to knock off an ITM Cup team, putting pressure on the returning players.

The influential Murray Williams was the only import available last week but Dwayne Burrows and player of origin Matt Thatcher have come in this week.

Burrows was unavailable to play last week as he was busy

winning the Dunedin premier competition with Taieri in emphatic fashion, a 51-6 victory over University A, while Thatcher also enjoyed success, as Christchurch won the plate with a 24-19 win over Linwood in the Christchurch Metropolitan finals.

Fellow imports Peni Manumanuniwila and Willie McGoon will look to do the same with their club side, Southbridge, who take on Waihora in the

Ellesmere final in Darfield tomorrow.

Josh Walker and Tevita Ula return to the mix, while with Davey Maw and Will Mackenzie both back on deck things are getting crowded at halfback, with Cawte Whiting and Jake Ashby both having a run against the Stags.

The players who were not named to meet South Canterbury will still get game time under the watchful eye of the

coaches, with the Mid Canterbury Development squad playing South Canterbury A in the first game of the Hanan Cup competition.

Ashburton College’s Nete Caucau won’t be available, with College hosting Rangiora in the Crusaders secondary school competition.

Kody Nordqvist, Richard Catherwood, Esera Lauina and Eric Duff also remain unavailable.

Salary cap probe

BY ED JACKSON Anthony Milford’s agent says a mix-up over times was behind the Canberra fullback missing a meeting with NRL salary cap investigators.

Milford was set to meet with members of the NRL integrity unit last week as part of an investigation into claims Brisbane have cheated the salary cap by $450,000 over the past three years.

The 20-year-old is joining the Broncos on a two-year deal from next season.

His agent Sam Ayoub said, contrary to reports Milford had dodged the meeting, confusion over times had resulted in it being necessary to reschedule the appointment for this week.

“It was a genuine miscommunication in relaying the time of the meeting,” Ayoub told AAP. “He never deliber-

Manly wary of Bunnies’ bite Manly fear Wayne Bennett’s barb against South Sydney will come back to haunt the Sea Eagles in the NRL. Bennett said “there wasn’t a coach in the NRL who doesn’t know how they’re going to play” after the Rabbitohs dismantled his Newcastle side last week and suggested their title credentials were “debatable”.

Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire dismissed the comments as “noise in the background” ahead of Souths’ top-two blockbuster with Manly tonight and said he was unfazed by Bennett.

But Manly fear the seven-time premiership winner may have stirred a hornets’ nest and that the Rabbitohs will use it as motivation against the table-topping Sea Eagles.

“I don’t think we will (be able to predict what Souths will do),” Manly coach Geoff Toovey said.

“I think Souths are a quality side and I hope they don’t use that as motivation.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) The key to making things happen financially is to pick your battles wisely, knowing you have the power to move mountains.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) There is a reminder that on the relationship front it’s all about the journey, not only in terms of where you’re going but in terms of where you’ve been.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With your professional star on the rise and a breakthrough possible on the income and work fronts, take time to define your success.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) A mix of playful and adventurous forces bring a reminder that life can’t be all work and no play, even though your professional star is on the rise.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) You’ve got some of your old spunk back, causing a rethink when it comes to the things you’ve previously labelled ‘your lot in life’.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With the courage to speak out and support from relationship forces, you’re able to get to what you really want and need to say.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With your personal and relationship priorities defined, there’s a chance to shift focus, looking at your income needs and expectations more closely.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) While new doors won’t open on the income front until next month, there are enough clues to start steering your professional game in the right direction.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) The Moon returns to your income sector with a chance to gain a nose for money and over the next few days establish a sense of financial resolve.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You’ve reached a defining point in your professional year, where the gears shift into cruise control. Focus on staying on track.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) There has always been untapped potential on the income front, with a nose for money giving you a glimpse of the treasure map today.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) With new doors already opening on the work front and more opening on the career front next month, this is still an unfolding but expanding situation.

All Blacks’ skills impress 1st XV All Black Kieran Read pulls in a pass to the delight of the onlooking Ashburton College boys’ 1st XV yesterday. Read, Dominic Bird and Owen Franks called in at Ashburton College for some quick rugby drills with the under 15s, a question and answer session and some photos with members of the boys’ and girls’ 1st XVs before heading off to other stops in Ashburton (See page 3). Bird, Franks and Read join the rest of the All Blacks in Auckland today to begin preparations for the opening Rugby Championship match, a Bledisloe Cup test against Australia in Sydney, next Saturday.

■ NETBALL

Three-way race for premier top spot

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

College A, Celtic and Hampstead head into the final round of the premier netball competition tied at the top of the table.

Whomever emerges victorious get the, arguably, easier path to the final while the other two sides square off.

The scenario looms that a count back will determine top spot between Celtic, should

they beat United, and the winner of the College-Hampstead clash.

Whichever side finish top look likely to face the resurgent Methven, unless United can spring a second consecutive upset defeat on Celtic - also calling on a count back to determine fourth.

Methven have performed quite the turnaround in the final round, claiming as many wins

in the past four weeks as they had in the previous two rounds –with both of those to avoid relegation.

The 2013 runners-up will now be out to build momentum into the playoffs against a Collegiate side looking to finish the round with a win.

Celtic will then be looking to bounce back from their shock defeat to Methven last week with a big win over United to

seal top spot on goal difference, but the surprise fourth round strugglers will put up a fight as United could still have a shot at clinching that fourth position.

The play-off order won’t be finalised until College and Hampstead go head-to head, and even then the calculators may have to come out to determine top spot.

Following the last game of

the day, College versus Hampstead, there will be a Mid Canterbury senior A netball trial from 4.30pm to find the team to defend the Hanan Shield in September.

While the senior grades sort out who will feature in the finals, the juniors’ grades wrap up their season tomorrow with seven finals - including the senior A final between Allenton A and Tinwald South A. www.guardianonline.co.nz
