Woman assaulted on East St

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Police are investigating what appears to be an opportunistic assault on a woman on Ashburton’s main street on Wednesday evening.

They’re appealing for information after the woman was assaulted while walking north on East Street, towards Walnut Avenue, at about 6.20pm.

The Guardian understands the woman may have been struck with some sort of weapon.

Sergeant Janine Bowden said the woman reported that as she approached the intersection with Grey Street she was assaulted by two unknown men, receiving a minor injury to her forehead.

Her injuries were not serious and did not require medical treatment.

The offenders appear to have run off when they were disturbed by an approaching vehicle from a nearby service station, Ms Bowden said.

She said the assault appeared to be

opportunistic and there was no indication of it being sexually motivated.

Police do not believe it is linked to an attempted abduction incident earlier in the week in the Allenton area.

The two offenders are described as Maori or Pacific Islanders, in their late teens or early 20s. Both were believed to be at least 182cm (6ft) tall.

One was reported to be wearing a grey hoodie and a black cap with the hood drawn over the top.

The other was reported to be wearing a navy blue hoodie and a cap with the hood worn over it, black pants and black sneakers.

Police are appealing for any sightings of persons matching this description, or any suspicious activity in the East Street area between 6pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday night.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ashburton Police on 03 307 8400. Information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Austrian entry causes controversy When Austria’s entry takes the stage at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, the spotlight will slowly reveal a lone figure with wide sensual eyes, glossy painted lips, high cheekbones and a man’s full dark beard. Conchita Wurst – the alter ego of 25-yearold Austrian Thomas Neuwirth – has already shocked audiences by challenging stereotypes of masculine and feminine beauty with the song Rise like a Phoenix. Pushing the boundaries of gender identity is nothing new at Europe’s annual song contest, but the backlash this year against Wurst highlights a rift between Europe’s progressive liberal side and the traditional values and nationalist rhetoric of Russia and other nations taking part. Amid growing tensions over the Ukraine crisis, some in eastern Europe have blasted Wurst as an example of the West’s decadence. Activists in Belarus have even urged the country’s state television network to edit the Austrian entry out of its Eurovision broadcast.

Nintendo says no to virtual equality Nintendo isn’t allowing gamers to play as gay in an upcoming life simulator game. The gaming company said yesterday it wouldn’t bow to pressure to allow players to woo characters of the same sex in English editions of Tomodachi Life. The announcement follows a campaign launched by fans last month seeking virtual equality for the game’s characters. The fans had urged Nintendo to add same-sex relationship options to the English hand-held Nintendo 3DS game ahead of its June release. The game was released in Japan last year and features a cast of avatars based on real players living and playing on a virtual island.

Mein Kampf sale canned French auction house Pierre Berg and Associs has withdrawn from sale a rare first edition of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf following a protest from a Jewish watchdog body. The National Bureau for Vigilance against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) had opposed the sale and had criticised the auctioneers for presenting Hitler’s autobiography/manifesto, “as if it was just another work or art written by a poet or a member of the French Academy”.

The copy had been predicted to fetch between 3000 and 4000 euros ($NZ4800 to $NZ6400) as part of a scheduled May 16 sale of a library of crime-related works owned by Philippe Zoummeroff, a retired industrialist. Zoummeroff, who is Jewish, said he had acquired his copy of Mein Kampf “to show what has existed, to document the despicable”. Mein Kampf is not banned in France.

■ ATTEMPTED ASHBURTON ABDUCTION

Search for ‘item of interest’

By Erin TaSkEr, MylES HuME myles.h

@theguardian.co.nz

As authorities yesterday checked drains for an item of interest linked to an attempted abduction, a former detective says parents need to wake up to real threat of stranger danger.

Ashburton Police Detective Leigh Jenkins said police yesterday searched for an item following the attempted abduction of an eight-year-old girl from her Harrison Street driveway on Tuesday afternoon, but would

not say what the item was.

“We cleared a drain or two looking for an item of interest, which wasn’t found,” Mr Jenkins said.

Police were yet to release a description of the offender, but following information from members of the public had eliminated some potential suspects.

He said police still wanted to speak to a woman who was walking two black and white dogs in the area at the time, and who spoke to the young girl be-

tween Smitheram and Allison Streets.

Patronus International executive director Darren Morton, who spent 16 years in the police force – nine of those as a detective - contacted the Guardian this week after hearing of Tuesday’s lucky escape.

Mr Morton created a series of smartphone apps after seeing too many people fall victim to crime because of their decisions.

One of those apps, CHILDSAFE, is aimed at advising

parents on how to ensure their child’s safety, including security guidelines and GPS information on the nearest emergency services.

“The attitude of parents, by and large, is the same we see throughout New Zealand society, they seem to think the country is immune from crime, and believe if it happens, then it won’t happen to them,” he said.

Mr Morton said it was vital parents taught their children how to avoid such incidents, including knowing where they

■ BEST OF THE WEST MUSIC AWARDS

Ashburton singers, musicians ‘clean up’

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Eleven-year-old Ocean Waitokia of Ashburton has had a grin from ear to ear since returning from the Best of the West music awards in Westport at the weekend.

And she is not the only Mid Cantabrian to return from the awards smiling, after singers and musicians from the district “cleaned up”, according to one of the performers.

Eleven-year-old Ocean said it was the first time she had competed in the prestigious awards, and to bring back five trophies was fantastic.

“I was like - oh my gosh,” she said.

Ocean was first in the junior vocal solo, first in open yodelling, second in gospel, second intermediate/junior old time and highest junior in that category, and junior overall runnerup.

She said she planned to go to university when she left school as she wanted to become a veterinarian. She would also be continuing with competing in country music competitions and keep an eye out for singing and yodelling opportunities in her home country of New Zealand.

Ocean said she wanted to thank her grandmother Linda for taking her to the awards.

Lanae Hill of the Mid Canterbury Country Music Club said members from the club also cleaned up in various categories.

“It’s all been a joint effort,” said a modest Mrs Hill, who herself brought home a swag of awards.

They included winning the original song section, overall veteran section, veteran gospel, overall versatility award and being runner-up in the open duo with husband Bruce.

Danni Rigby, competing in a duo, won the duo under 18 and overall intermediate duo, as well as the intermediate/junior old time.

Fellow club member Zoe Scott, of Geraldine, won the New Zealand country section for under 18s, was runner-up in country rock under 18, and won a CMAA scholarship to visit Tamworth next year.

are at all times, locking gates, teaching them where to go if in danger and vetting prospective caregivers.

Meanwhile, urban Ashburton schools sent information out to parents advising them of the incident and how children can reduce the risk.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said there was “no sort of hysteria” from parents, but it was vital to reinforce the message at this time.

He said teachers had spoken to pupils about stranger danger.

Ashburton fares well in world report Ashburton has fared well in an international pollution report that ranks 1600 cities an 91 countries on air quality.

Perhaps surprisingly, the country’s worst pollution hot spots are not in large cities; Timaru tops the list of those measured, with an annual mean concentration of pollution particles (PM10) of 28.

During the year measured, 2012, Ashburton’s mean was 21.

Christchurch was the worst city on 23.

Dunedin had a pollution mean of 18, and Rotorua 20 while Wellington had a low of 13 and Auckland, 15.

Ashburton has the second best record in Canterbury when it comes to the number of high pollution nights, with just four recorded last year and eight in 2012.

Only Geraldine achieved a better score on one.

Timaru has Canterbury’s worst performance for pollution nights on 30 last year and 34 in 2012.

World Health Organisation air quality guidelines recommend annual mean PM10 values of 20 micrograms or less.

New Zealand’s mean is 16 while Bahrain has one of the worst readings of 254mcg.

Iceland has one of the lowest on nine with Australia also very low on 10.

Afghanistan is near the top of the list on 268 as is Pakistan on 282.

■ WALNUT AVENUE TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Implementation closer By sue NewMaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A giant step forward has been taken in the Ashburton District Council’s drive to have traffic signals installed at the intersections of East and West streets with Walnut Avenue.

Before work could proceed to the design stage, the council needed to have the designation of roads at both intersections changed.

The proposal was publicly notified and four submissions

(all in support) were made.

Commissioner Patricia Hart approved the designation application and the council yesterday voted to confirm that decision.

However, before any detailed design work is carried out the council has to enter into a project agreement with the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) and KiwiRail.

The land involved at the two intersections is in nine lots owned by KiwiRail, The Crown, the council and a private com-

pany, West Street properties.

While the two sets of road improvements are linked, West Street is a state highway and comes under the jurisdiction of the NZTA, while East Street is a local road and is under the council’s control.

The two are inextricably linked because they are in close proximity - traffic controls at one intersection automatically affect traffic at the other.

The council and NZTA both want to install traffic lights at the intersections to improve

safety and efficiency of both intersections for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

As part of the installation of lights, both roads will be widened with some realignment on East Street.

Cycle lanes will be provided and new footpaths established with signal crossings.

As a separate project, the entrance to Ashburton Domain on West Street will need to be relocated further south to avoid traffic queuing at the Walnut Avenue lights.

■ ALLENTON BROWNIES, PIPPINS

Stepping outside their comfort zones

By ToNi williaMs

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

Some Allenton Brownies and Pippins will step outside their comfort zones this weekend as they head out into the bush for an Adventure Overnighter.

For most of the pippins it would be their first time but for others it was a chance to get back to nature and have some wholesome fun with their friends.

Allenton Brownie leader and

camp organiser Cassy Verney said a mixture of 28 Brownies and Pippins aged from five to nine years old would head to the Mt Hutt Retreat on Saturday.

While they would stay at the camp site, enjoy indoor facilities and sleep in bunk rooms they would get a lot of time outside amongst nature.

Miss Verney said enjoying chocolate biscuit and marshmallow s’mores over a camp

fire with camp side sing-alongs was also planned.

However, hot demand had cleaned them out of the chocolate Girl Guide biscuits which meant they would have to use chocolate thin biscuits as a substitute for the s’mores.

Planned activities included abseiling, archery, pizza making and completing challenge courses.

The girls would also do a ‘big foot monster hunt’ and search

for big feet cut out in the bush with clues on them.

The girls needed to find letters from the clues to form words back at base.

Miss Verney said the whole camp adventure theme gave the girls a challenge and invited them to step outside their comfort zones.

“It will be quite a challenge for them to do the abseiling and things but I’m pretty confident they will give it a go,” she said.

Red flags over head lice plans

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury principals are raising red flags over the “surprising” move to provide head lice treatment to low decile schools.

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett wants to tackle the nits epidemic with a new Government initiative to provide $1 million of free treatment to families in low decile schools.

“Treatment can typically cost $30. Combine that with several heads in the household and the problem becomes extremely expensive. This initiative will allow for whole families to be treated if necessary,” she said.

Ms Bennett said each school would have a special chair installed – similar to that at a hairdressers – and combs and bottles for treatment.

However, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy raised questions over the announcement as Ministry of Education rules prohibit schools from conducting head inspections to treat nits. Letters were usually sent home to parents to take care of the problem.

He also questioned the merit in opening up the initiative in low decile schools because nits can become rife in all schools.

“I don’t think head lice are fussy about where they go ... we have pockets of poverty in our community, not that I feel badly towards the extra funding low decile schools get, but why not make this a programme to roll out across the country,” the decile nine school principal said.

He said if parents struggled to afford treatment, some Mid Canterbury schools already handed out head lice kits to families.

Netherby School principal Andrew Leverton said head lice was an issue for all schools, and would not even have room to accommodate a head lice checking chair in his decile three school.

Schools in Christchurch, Kaitaia, Opotiki, Ruatoria, Taumaranui, Porirua and Hastings will be the first to roll out the treatment.

The initial rollout will cover 24,000 children.

Prices still rising

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The average house price in the Ashburton District is continuing its relentless upward climb, hitting $314,682 at April 30.

Over the past 12 months house prices in the district have risen by 5.8 per cent, but the change in value over the past three months has been minimal, just 0.4 per cent.

The growth in value of homes in the district over the past year has been some of the strongest for smaller district’s the South Island, eclipsed only by Waimakariri, 8.4 per cent, Selwyn, 7.8 per cent and Queenstown Lakes, 6.3 per cent.

Several areas of Christchurch, however, have logged significant growth over the period with the central, north and south-

west suburbs watching prices increase by more than 10 per cent over 12 months.

Nationally growth has been strongest over the past year in and around Auckland with some suburbs seeing increases in excess of 15 per cent in values.

Since the market’s peak in 2007, Ashburton has watched prices grow by 12.4 per cent, higher than in many parts of the South Island. Selwyn leads the South Island in terms of post 2007 growth at 32.3 per cent and is only pipped for the fastest growing value title by the North Shore, Auckland South and Auckland central.

Values in many parts of New Zealand still lag behind the market peak, with Opotiki and Gisborne more than 22 per cent down. In the South Island values are still below 2007 in 12 areas, with Marlborough’s values down 11.1 per cent.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Mayor McKay: No cash for Chch

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

While he won’t be opening the council’s coffers to help cashstrapped Christchurch City, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said the district council would do everything it could to help the city through its rebuild cash crisis.

The city council is looking at a budget shortfall of more than $500 million for its repair programme for the city’s community

facilities and there are fears the difference between budget and reality could blow out further.

Ashburton was sympathetic to the city’s plight, Mr McKay said, but help would come in the form of actions, such as consent processing, rather than financial aid.

“We have a huge emotional investment in the city, but I don’t think the ratepayers of Ashburton would thank us for putting cash into the city.”

On a number of occasions,

Ashburton had offered assistance to Christchurch, but that offer was made within the confines of not affecting the district’s ratepayers, he said.

“They haven’t asked for cash and we haven’t offered.”

One of the city’s options was to sell some of its assets, but that had to be balanced against the loss of income from those, money that was probably used to offset borrowings, Mr McKay said.

“Selling off assets comes down

to the value of a one-off cash injection against a long-term revenue stream.”

From the private sector, Mr McKay said he was aware that there was already substantial Ashburton investment in the Christchurch infrastructure.

The city’s rebuild was vitally important for the Ashburton District because it relied on having a vibrant city within the region, he said.

The city council is facing a

Riders to test their endurance

hard choice between canning some items on its wishlist or finding new ways of either saving costs or raising money.

The shortfall figures indicate that an extra $1564 is needed from every man, woman or child in the city or an extra $3235 from every ratepayer.

The gap between budget and reality has largely come from a much higher cost for road and water and sewer pipe repairs and a shortfall in insurance payouts.

More than 70 teams and almost 30 solo riders will contest Sunday’s Mid Canterbury Mountain Club six-hour endurance race.

Based on the Ashburton River track, the ride is in its second year and organisers are pleased with the number of entries they’ve received.

The club’s events co-ordinator Greg Lysaght said last year’s inaugural event attracted around 50 teams and about 10 solo riders, so numbers were well up this year.

Most competitors were coming from out of town too, with only about 15 of the entered teams local.

He said the track was in good condition and there was a new track to test riders.

“It starts at 10am at the Allenton Rugby Club and it’s a mass start. We ride down the river trail to the bridge, turn around and come back, through a pit area where riders tag the next rider and the next one goes, so it’s a relay type event,” Mr Lysaght said.

A relay for teams, but for the brave few solo riders it will be six full hours on a mountain bike.

It will take most riders between 18 and 30 minutes to complete a lap and the club has engaged a North Island timing company to conduct all the timing this year. Each lap will be timed and the most laps in the time frame wins.

It’s not just the riders who can win though. Central Otago Tourism has come on board as a sponsor and has put up a trip as a prize which can be won by anyone attending – a rider or a spectator.

That’s one of many great prizes up for grabs, Mr Lysaght said.

■ ASHBURTON GALLERY, MUSEUM

Precious contents finally on the move

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s a move than might have been three years in the planning, but the reality of relocating the entire contents of an art gallery and museum across town is just starting to hit home to those making the move.

Last Friday the closed signs were hammered up on the Baring Square East building that has housed the town’s art gallery and museum for

decades. And that means for about three months the district will be without both community facilities while staff make the big move from old building to new.

The moving trucks began rolling out of one building and into the next on Monday matched by the arrival of out of town vehicles bringing in new storage equipment. And that truck movement is likely to continue for several weeks, with each move carefully

planned by museum director Michael Hanrahan and art gallery curator Shirin Khosraviani.

Once the move is made, the museum will have all its items under one roof for the first time. At the moment they are spread across six storage sites.

The number of items to be moved is mind-boggling and even the museum catalogue gives little indication of the size of the job.

There are more than 20,000 entries on the list but most of these relate to multiple items.

As the move continues, the main exhibition room will start to be set up.

With all items transferred from the old gallery and museum to the new, there will still be weeks of testing climate and lighting controls before the complex is open to the public.

This is likely to be in September.

■ SYNTHETIC DRUGS

Doctors make plans for detox

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Medical experts in Canterbury have developed ways to help healthcare professionals treat an expected increase in people withdrawing from synthetic drug addiction.

Their guidelines were a direct response to the Government’s amendment of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 where all interim approved psychoactive substances were withdrawn from the market yesterday.

It was now illegal to sell these substances until they were proved low risk of harm.

Christchurch Hospital emergency and toxicology expert Dr Paul Gee welcomed changes to the act but warned regular users of synthetic cannabis could experience unpleasant side-effects when they stopped using these substances.

“Common symptoms of withdrawal can include restlessness, irritability, agitation, headaches, mood swings, poor appetite, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting,” said Dr Gee. “Most users should be able to manage detox at home with advice from their family doctor.

“The Christchurch Hospital Emergency Department can assist with the

emergency care of patients experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms.

“Requests for formal detox are coordinated through local alcohol and drug services,” he said.

In Ashburton the alcohol and drug service (Acads) was available on telephone 308-1270.

Dr Gee said people who planned to stop regular cannabinoid use should seek advice from their general practice team.

Canterbury and West Coast DHB clinical director of specialist mental health alcohol and other drug services Dr Alfred Dell’Ario said withdrawal symptoms could vary from mild to extreme and last from hours to weeks.

“Most people can cope with mild withdrawal by knowing what to expect, taking extra care of themselves (such as resting and drinking water) and we can provide advice on ways to help people who are agitated and having problems sleeping,” said Dr Dell’Ario.

“However, people experiencing significant withdrawals including violence, psychosis, suicidal thoughts or anything suggesting significant mood or psychotic illness should be referred to the Psychiatric Emergency Service (PES).”

The service was available through 0800 920-092.

Puzzle over body in park

By Jamie morTon Baffled police still haven’t been able to identify a body found in a Rotorua park four days ago, and now suspect the mystery man may have come from out of town.

The man, most likely Polynesian but possibly Maori, and thought to be in his 20s, was found in Linton Park reserve on Monday.

Despite public appeals and enquiries,

Rotorua police said they still had no idea who the man was. Detective Sergeant Tony Colby said he had never seen such a case.

“Generally, the circumstances in which we find the person will enable us to identify them, or they’ve got belongings on them that can can help us, or they’ve been reported missing,” he said.

But in this case, police had few leads and were left to distribute a computerised sketch of the man.

■ BOOST FOR BUDGETING SERVICES

Help going where needed

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Extra funding for budgeting services will make a difference for Mid Cantabrians struggling to manage their money, the district’s MP says.

National’s Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew has welcomed the Government’s pre-budget announcement of $22 million in extra funding for budgeting services around the country.

“We’ve got a number of

great organisations providing budgeting services here in South and Mid Canterbury, and this funding will help them continue to support people in our community to manage their finances,” Mrs Goodhew said.

“Money management can be especially tough for people on low incomes, and budgeting services play a vital role helping people get the right skills so they can save for the things that matter and gain financial

independence.” She said the work of organisations like the Ashburton Budget Advisory Service, Family Support South Canterbury and Timaru Budget Advisory Service was helping many people in the Rangitata electorate get their finances sorted and get ahead, and the additional funding would help them even further.

This investment will see a 61 per cent increase in Government funding over the next two years.

It will help budgeting services provide an even greater level of support for New Zealanders.

The Ministry of Social Development will work directly with budgeting services on the allocation of funding.

“Supporting people on low incomes with budgeting advice and support is part of our commitment to deliver better public services for Kiwis – one of National’s priorities,” Mrs Goodhew said.

Event sends heart disease message

In brief Defeat conceded Cadbury has conceded defeat in its trademark battle with chocolate rival Whittaker’s. A decision from the High Court at Wellington last month found in favour of Whittaker’s, dismissing a bid by Cadbury to stop it from registering the trademark “Berry Forest”.

Cadbury said it was disappointed in the High Court’s decision, but a spokesman said it would not be taking the matter further to the Court of Appeal. “We have no current plan to appeal the decision,” the spokesman said.

Big Penrose blaze Fire crews were working last night to control a large blaze at a warehouse in Auckland. At least nine fire trucks were at the scene of the fire on Walls Rd in Penrose, an industrial suburb in Auckland.

“We have a single-storey building, 20 by 30 metres, well ablaze,” fire service spokesman Colin Underdown said. “There’s no reports of anybody in the warehouse at all.”

Suppression lifted

Women of all ages and fitness levels are invited to take part in a fundraising walk or run through the Ashburton Domain on Sunday.

The Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run and Walk is returning to Ashburton and organisers are hoping to build on a successful 2013 event.

The 5km walk or run around the Ashburton Domain on Sunday will start at 10am.

It is part of a nationwide initiative in support of the Heart Foundation’s Go Red for Women campaign, which aims to improve the heart health of New Zealand women.

“It’s a fun day focused on encouraging women to take time out of their busy schedules to make their own health a priority,” Jennian Homes Mid Canterbury director and general manager Anna Smith said.

Murray Vickers Francis Jones, 70, was given interim name suppression until a review on Wednesday in a ruling made by Judge Joanna Maze in the Oamaru District Court on April 30. Interim name suppression lapsed at 5pm on Wednesday, as Jones did not seek to have it continued. On April 30, he was convicted on one charge of fraudulently obtaining $31,765 from St John between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012. He was remanded at large for sentencing on June 11. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON CEMETERY RECORDS

Goldmine of information For anyone searching for family history information, the Ashburton District council’s on-line database is a goldmine of information.

Within its archives the council has 22,000 burial records and these now have an enhanced and revamped search capability to make the process of looking for information much simpler.

Council Information Systems Manager Gordon Tupper said the records were one of the council’s most popular services.

“Getting information is now much easier through simple and advanced search options.

“If users have detailed information on the person they are searching for, there are now advanced search options such as age,

denomination, cemetery and dates.”

The information available is now easier to view, with location maps and headstone images for some records.

“It is a well-used function and we hope that users will now find it more intuitive and simple,” he said.

The Ashburton District Family History Group is working on a project to photograph and document headstones in the district’s cemeteries. It has provided the council with headstone photographs and information for the graves completed to date and these are also available on the council’s website.

“The group’s work has been invaluable in improving our district’s records and this service for our residents,” Mr Tupper said.

Christchurch police are continuing to hunt for a third person in relation to a theft of synthetic highs from a store minutes before the emergency law passed on Wednesday night. Police said two men carrying knives held up and stole from a R18 store on Stanmore Rd in Linwood around 11.20pm.

A 30-year-old man and an 18-yearold man, both from Christchurch, appeared at the local district court yesterday on charges of aggravated robbery. The men were accused of punching the store owner and stealing a quantity of cash and synthetic drugs. - APNZ

Duty-free tobacco cuts Duty-free tobacco allowances will be cut from 200 cigarettes to 50 cigarettes later this year, Associate Health Minister Tariana Turia has confirmed. Next week’s budget would also introduce duty taxes and GST for tobacco sent from overseas, which is currently taxfree. Mrs Turia said youth smoking rates were falling, but smoking still caused 5000 premature deaths a year. The price differential between duty-free tobacco and retail tobacco was expected to become more pronounced as tax hikes kicked in. Government considered scrapping the duty-free allowance altogether, but has decided to cut it to 50 cigarettes.

■ UKRAINE

Manslaughter charges South Korea says it will revoke the licence of the company owning the ferry that sank with the loss of about 300 lives last month, as prosecutors prepared manslaughter charges against its chief executive. Kim Han-sik, head of Chonghaejin Marine Co, was picked up at his home south of Seoul and taken into custody in the southwestern port city of Mokpo.

“Kim faces various charges, including manslaughter and violating maritime law,” senior prosecutor Yang Jong-Jin said. The charges stem from allegations that Kim was involved in, or turned a blind eye to, the overloading of the Sewol’s cargo consignment - seen as a major contributing factor to its capsize on April 16.

Shame on the US! Shame on the EU! Long live Russia!”

One woman screamed: “Is firing on the people how you protect the people?”

“The citizens have had to barricade themselves in at home with their kids,” said another.

Government forces, waging a fierce battle with separatists in what they described as an “antiterrorist operation”, are using rockets against the innocent citizens of Slavyansk, said pensioner Tatiana.

The army has gradually tightened its noose around the town and there are tentative signs that pro-Russian fervour

might be on the wane.

At the nearby town hall that rebels have occupied for several weeks, the Russian flag that had flapped on the roof ever since had disappeared, leaving only that of the “People’s Republic of Donetsk”.

Rebel spokeswoman Stella Khorocheva played down the significance of that. Maybe it’s to “make the rest of the world understand that there aren’t any Russian soldiers here”, she told AFP. She insists that the self-proclaimed mayor of the city, Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, is “alive and well” despite the sudden

disappearance from the scene of the former soap factory manager who was omnipresent until recently.

“I can’t tell you where he is for obvious security reasons,” said Khorocheva.

During the day on Wednesday, the sound of guns fell quiet on the outskirts of the town but “self-defence” gunmen told AFP their position had come under heavy artillery fire overnight.

And in other parts of the town, there were signs the siege was developing into a stalemate as rebels started digging trenches.

■ PORTUGAL

UK police in Portugal for McCann hunt Detectives from Britain’s Scotland Yard are understood to have arrived in Portugal to help with the excavation of a number of sites as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Specialist officers are expected to examine several sites in Praia da Luz after permission to dig was granted by Portuguese authorities.

Madeleine went missing from the area while on a family holiday on May 3, 2007, when she was aged just three.

In brief

Tension high in Slavyansk Irina Boyevets was standing innocently on her balcony when a bullet smashed into her head.

Anatoly Korochka was burned alive when his delivery truck was raked by machine gun fire.

Yesterday the war-torn town of Slavyansk buried two of its own.

The funerals of the two civilians, caught in the crossfire as their country spirals towards civil war, sent tensions rising to boiling point in this besieged town of more than 110,000 that has become the epicentre of rebel activity.

Irina, a 30-year-old teacher, “stepped out on her balcony when she saw her husband’s car arrive.

He was halfway up the stairs when a sniper hit her in the face,” said one of her friends, her eyes red from tears.

Her only crime was to be unlucky enough to live near the strategic road to Kharkiv where unusually violent clashes took place on Monday near a checkpoint manned by the Ukrainian army.

Anatoly was on the same road when he also found himself under fire in the battle that Ukraine said ended up killing 30 rebels.

Machine-gun fire slammed into the side of his van, sparking an inferno that incinerated the 51-year-old.

“His body was unrecognisable,” said one of his friends.

Perhaps for this reason, his remains were wrapped completely in white linen, surrounded by white, red and yellow flowers as they lay on a bier in the church.

At first silent and calm, the large crowd outside the church suddenly exploded in anger, chanting: “No to fascism!

The excavations, which are expected to be conducted by forensic experts, are not thought to necessarily be in connection with a search for the youngster’s body or remains.

Janice Runacres, a former forensic manager with the Metropolitan Police, told Sky News: “They will be looking at aerial photography, maybe taking aerial photography now, and looking at historic aerial photography to see if there is any changes in the landscape, changes in perhaps more lush

vegetation in certain areas, and this may indicate areas for further focus.”

The request to search a

number of sites is thought to be among a series of requests made by British detectives in connection with the search.

At the weekend, Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, thanked the public for their unstinting support at a prayer service on the seventh anniversary of her disappearance.

The couple spoke of the family’s gratitude that the Metropolitan Police investigation was now moving on to a “very active” phase.

They also recovered a 3-D printer from the home in Kawasaki, near Tokyo, but did not find any ammunition for the guns, Jiji Press reported. It is the first time Japan’s firearm control law has been applied to the possession of guns produced by 3-D printers.

OUR VIEW

Let’s look out for each other Coen Lammers EDITOR

T

he attempted abduction of the eight-year-old girl in Allenton has shocked Ashburton and the wider Mid Canterbury community.

One of the most common comments this week has been ‘This doesn’t happen in Ashburton’, but sadly it can.

While the tragic death of the four-year-old Ashburton boy earlier this week is any parent’s worst nightmare, the horrible scenario of an abduction by some deranged individual must rank as a close second.

Thankfully the brave young girl fought off the criminal and got away before any of these scenarios could play out, but the psychological impact on the child and family may take some time to repair. The young lady has demonstrated some genuine guts that will hopefully assist her in her recovery process.

Aside from the immediate family and friends, the attack has also shattered a sense of security for many locals with young children.

While the police assure the community that the abduction attempt was a one-off incident, many parents will not sleep easy until the perpetrator has been apprehended.

This is where the community comes into play. Police regularly remind us that a successful crime-fighting force depends on the help from its citizens so hopefully one of the witnesses will hold the key to solving this case.

The day-time attack also reminds us that while we should avoid becoming paranoid, we do need to be vigilant, at all times, to protect ourselves, our property and each other.

An old expression says that it takes a community to raise a child and that includes looking out for each other’s families.

These days, many people don’t know their neighbours as they used to and we have become increasingly reluctant to get involved in other people’s business, but Tuesday’s incident is a reminder that we cannot afford to live on an island.

Mid Canterbury is still one of the safest places in the world to raise a family, but we need to band together to reclaim the streets and our sense of security.

What do Mid Canty mums want for Mother’s Day? Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

I

don’t believe in Mother’s Day! Never have and never will.

It wasn’t something we ever celebrated when I was a young fella and I’ve got to say now I’m a slightly bigger young fella I’m glad we didn’t celebrate it.

We shouldn’t need a special day to celebrate our mothers. That should be done every day!

Their role is far too important to fit into one day, I think Abraham Lincoln summed it up nicely when he said: “All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother”.

In saying that, I bet there aren’t too many of us who can say, “I’ve told Mum plenty of times how much I appreciate everything she does and has done for me”. I know I haven’t!

I think back to my childhood and I reckon Mum did a pretty good job considering she had three boys each a year apart.

A pretty good job except for the time I got through a hole in

the fence in our old home in Wakanui Road and was spotted wandering past the Devon by one of the barmaids, who said isn’t that a “Hooper kid” and dragged me in there and phoned mother, who was frantically searching for her darling

three-year-old son. Not! I wouldn’t like to see a three-year-old wandering across Chalmers Avenue these days!

Oh and then there was mum making us three boys do tap dancing. I’m sure in time we will forgive her for that.

I have a lot to thank my mum for though.

She taught me about religion. “You better pray that stain comes out of the carpet.”

She taught me about envy. “There are kids in Ethiopia who would walk for days for those curried eggs.”

She taught

me about meteorology. “If the wind changes and you’re pulling that face, you’ll stay like that forever.”

She taught me about receiving and anticipation.

“Just you wait till your father gets home.”

And she taught me about irony.

“If you keep that crying up I’ll give you something to cry about.”

Seriously though, we knew where our boundaries

were (except the hole in the fence incident), if we were misbehaving in public with Mother we got a squeeze on the hand, that was the warning shot.

If we received a second hand squeeze then our butts were going to meet Mr Strap when we got home. I can’t remember getting my hand squeezed twice too many times.

She also taught us to be polite, respectful and showed us how to be gentlemen.

I’m far from perfect, but she did a pretty good job.

So back to the initial question, I asked my listeners via Facebook what they wanted for Mother’s Day and I was very happy to see that well over half just wanted their family together and happy and staying away from the commercial side of Mother’s Day. Here’s a few of my favourite comments: Tania: “What I’d really like is for my two lovely children (cough) to do the dishes. Just do them, and not act like I said “go chop all your fingers and toes off ”.

Bex: “I’m looking forward to spending the day with my family. That’s all I ask for ....

Us all together.”

Angela: “World peace .... but I’ll settle for a clean house!”

To mums everywhere, have a super day on Sunday and every other day this year and THANK YOU. Phill Hooper is the breakfast host of Ashburton’s The Hits. The views expressed in this column are his and do not reflect the opinion of his employer or the Ashburton Guardian.

■ KIWISAVER

Retirement income ‘could double’

By Tamsyn Parker Most middle income earners won’t be able to retire comfortably unless tax rates for KiwiSaver investments are slashed and savers are forced to take on more risk, a lobby group for the industry claims.

The Financial Services Council, whose members include major banks and life insurance companies, says it has written to politicians with a package of policy recommendations which if implemented would potentially double the income of employees in retirement.

The council wants the default funds for KiwiSaver, the funds where people are placed when they don’t choose a fund, to move from being conservatively invested to a balanced portfolio.

The change would increase a

saver’s exposure to share and property investments and potentially increase their investment risk.

The government decided against making a change to the

The Financial Services Council also wants to cut the tax rates on KiwiSaver dropping the top rate from 28 per cent to 15 per cent, the mid rate from 17.5 to 8 per cent and the low-

est rate from 10.5 per cent to 4.3 per cent.

This would be paid for by getting rid of the tax member credit which allows savers to get a maximum of $521 per year from the government if they save $1042.

FSC chief executive Peter Neilson said that New Zealand currently had the most punitive tax regime for retirement saving in the developed world.

“Someone on the average wage saving over 40 years will lose half of their retirement nest egg to the impact of tax,” he said.

Neilson said its analysis showed the $521 tax credit would be worth $28,000 over 40 years.

But cutting the tax rate could drop contributions for someone who was on the average wage by $164,000 and boost

their nest egg by $288,000 over the term of a 40 year working life.

Neilson said its research had shown that a comfortable retirement would be around double the current rate of New Zealand Superannuation, currently $282 a week after tax for each person in a married, civil union or defacto relationship.

The council’s proposal would not change the rate of New Zealand Superannuation, and it said contributions rates for KiwiSaver could be between 6 per cent 9 per cent split between an employee and employer.

Unease remains a constant It has been another turbulent week for markets, with tensions continuing to increase between Russia and the Ukraine.

Although there was some respite later in the week when Russian President Vladimir Putin said his troops had been pulled back from the Ukrainian border, and had called on pro-Russian activists in east Ukraine to postpone a May 11 referendum.

Markets reacted positively to this statement with Russia’s blue chip MICEX rallying 3.4 per cent.

The Federal Reserve chair, Janet Yellen, spoke to the Joint Economic Committee of Congress this week and made it clear that she believes that the US economy still requires a strong dose of stimulus as unemployment and inflation are well short of targets.

Yellen acknowledged that the labour market had improved but commented that there is still a way to go. The US economy is showing signs that its recovery is gaining momentum which led the Fed to their fourth reduction of the stimulus package in as many months.

Disappointing data from China showed another month of contraction in the manufacturing sector.

The final HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index for April edged up to 48.1 from 48.0 the month before, showing a slight improvement,

■ FACEBOOK

In brief

Befriending small business Facebook wants to increase its advertising and get more clicks on all kinds of ads. It believes tapping into the lucrative small business market will help it achieve those goals.

Sheryl Sandberg, the social media company’s operating chief and Lean In author, says the key is showing business owners how to find new customers by creating Facebook pages and by buying ads that appear on individual Facebook users’ pages.

The company plans a campaign called Facebook Fit with workshops in five cities to show small business owners the nuts and bolts of using Facebook as a marketing tool.

“They don’t have enough customers. This is their No. 1 problem and we can help them solve it,” Sandberg said in an interview with The Associated Press.

The small business market has been difficult to crack for digital companies like Facebook and Google, said Greg Sterling, an analyst with the mobile technology research service Internet2Go. Many owners with Facebook pages are reluctant to advertise, limiting the revenue the company can make from small businesses.

“Many of them are strug-

gling just to provide regular content updates or to understand how to use social media, let alone become masters of social media advertising,” Sterling said.

Meanwhile, Facebook needs to get more small business advertising to stay competitive with Google, said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst with eMarketer, a digital research company.

“They need to be sure they’re seen as a strong partner to small business owners,” she said.

Facebook has updated its technology to make it easier for business owners to use, Sandberg said.

Scientists have come up with the best computer model yet of the universe.

This new virtual cosmos created by US, German and English researchers includes details never before achieved in a simulation.

Called Illustris, the numeri-

The company is targeting those who don’t have the time to sit down at a desktop PC and update pages or ads.

“Now they’re able to manage their pages from a mobile phone. Two years ago, they couldn’t,” Sandberg said.

Facebook says it is used by 25 million small business users worldwide.

Many very small companies that don’t have websites use social media services like Facebook to reach customers.

When a Facebook user “likes” a company’s page, that customer’s Facebook friends see posts on their own pages about the company.

Businesses can also buy ads that appear on individual Facebook pages.

Facebook is also creating small business advertising products Sandberg said will be affordable.

Facebook is in a good position to get more revenue from small businesses simply because so many of them already use it.

But the company must still convince them ads are a good investment.

“They have to make it really simple, affordable, measurable a small business owner has to be convinced of the success and efficacy of the ad campaign,” Sterling said.

The Illustris creators say it represents “a significant step forward in modelling galaxy formation.”

A Google strategist has stormed out of a conference in San Francisco after taking umbrage with the size of his audience. Apparently angry that he only had a small group of people to see him, Google strategist Scott Jenson reportedly left 30 minutes before he was scheduled to speak. Jenson was due to give the keynote talk at the Internet of Things Expo, to which he had invited himself, Readwrite reports. Witnesses told the Silicon Valley website that Jenson stormed out of the Marriott Hotel in San Francisco’s Fishermen’s Wharf area and told a woman at the registration desk: ‘I am Google.’

Dry sand piles up in front of an object you may try to drag around, such as a huge block of stone to build a pyramid, for example. Wet the sand though and small water droplets bind the grains together.

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam experimented with sand, water and a laboratory version of the Egyptian sledge that was used in pyramid building. With the correct quantity of water, wet desert sand is about twice as stiff as dry sand and only half as much pulling force is required. And that’s hugely important if you’re building a pyramid in the desert. While this finding helps us understand the pyramids better it’s also relevant for working with materials such as asphalt, concrete and coal which are significant materials in worldwide energy consumption.

Fueled by rubbish British Airways is setting up a factory that will turn household rubbish into jet fuel. First hazardous and recyclable materials will be removed. Then the rubbish will be combusted to produce a synthesis gas of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which is then converted to liquid fuel. The goal is for BA to obtain 30 per cent of fuels from renewable sources by the year 2050. The airline say that turning trash into fuel yields twice the energy that incinerating the waste for electricity would provide.

It sounds as though household rubbish is starting to have some value.

■ RUGBY

In brief Celtic favourites

Breaking losing streak a priority

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Southern are looking to returning player Richard Fridd (right) to produce a change in fortunes for them in the Combined Country Cup rugby competition this weekend.

Fridd, 28, has been back for two games to settle in after he last turned out for Southern in 2010 before departing on his OE. “I was travelling and just living it up,” Fridd said.

“I was living in London for a couple of years and managed a handful of games, but nothing too serious.”

He returned to New Zealand in September but was only approached by Southern prior to Easter weekend, making his return in the loss to West Melton.

He received a warmer welcome back than his brother Nathan - who eight years after playing for Southern made a return to senior rugby with Rakaia.

He is currently busy building his parents’ house in Hanmer.

He has had limited time at practice with the team but coach Jason Rickard is happy to have someone with his experience on game day.

The former Mid Canterbury representative has slotted in at second five eighth and against Waihora he played outside a fa-

miliar face in vastly experienced John Ellis, making his regular break from retirement.

“It was a bit of a surprise to see him back there, but it is always nice having a guy of his experience around and he’s still got the goods.”

Coming off the bye Southern will be up against it again if they are to break a four game losing streak, with Glenmark full of confidence after handing Lincoln their first defeat of the season.

“We aren’t far away from a win but Glenmark are a tough team.

“Hopefully the long haul on the bus and it being club day at Hinds will be enough to get the boys fizzing.”

Celtic are also looking for a change in form on club day against top of the table Waihora after back to back losses.

Burnham-Dunsandel host Saracens, West Melton are away to Ohoka and Lincoln have the bye.

Over in section one Hampstead are in the same boat as Southern, chasing a first win when they head north to take on bottom of the table Oxford.

Methven look to remain unbeaten away to Kaiapoi, as do Rakaia when they head to Prebbleton, Ashley host Southbridge with Darfield on the bye.

Southern Pride – local ticking many boxes for this. Should be the hardest to beat.

Patricio – debut winner and then put aside. Expect a much improved run.

La Musique – likes to lead and fresh up can deliver a lively performance.

Snowdon – often unlucky and hasn’t reached the heights expected. More than capable of winning if ready.

Gallant Babe – strong recent showings and another forward showing is likely.

Race 2:-

Why Wait – fairly solid in last few but never quite delivers. Draw helps and leave out of the multis at your peril.

The Stockman – has been patiently handled and has at least some of the family ability. Will be close up if track not heavy.

Rapt – wide draw not ideal but has been close up recently. Eachway chance at least.

Alfie River – has had issues but capable of winning this from evidence seen so far.

Rejoice – some sound efforts up north indicate it can be in the finish and appeals as a good outsider.

Race 3:-

Capo – sound races since coming south and has been freshened. Small field is ideal.

Norah – strong record at 1600m and in top form. Expect another creditable performance.

El Bee Dee – goes well at the distance and should be in the firing line throughout.

Vaporetto – has won twice here on the home track and expect a big run in this field.

Ishigold – can cause an upset here by leading and dictating the pace. Good eachway chance.

Race 4:-

Curtain Call – placed three times at the distance and clearly the best credentialed to win this.

Quest For Luck – has run some sound races and in this line up a bold effort would not surprise.

Red Bullet – fresh up from a break but has been placed at the distance in the past.

She Riveting – first try at distance racing and trainer has a great record on this course. Each way at odds.

Chipmunk – due to show form the fourth before a spell showed some ability is there. Leading jockey will help.

Race 5:-

Stingray – a bit one paced and races best when pace is strong throughout.

Should be in the finish if the race is run to suit.

Squash – back to winning form at Wingatui and this race is in the same grade. Each way chance.

Blu Mach – running on quite strongly in all races this term and likely to appreciate the distance.

Chairos – underrated mare capable of

Defending premier netball champions Celtic are heavy favourites to extend their win streak to 18 against a winless College B in the penultimate week of the first round. Celtic were pushed for the first time this season by College A last week but still claimed a third win to be the only unbeaten side while College B have been well beaten in all three matches. Coming off their first loss of the season, College A will look to bounce back against United – who did just that with a win over Methven last round. Hampstead will chase a third win on the trot against a struggling Methven who will do battle with College B in what is essentially the relegation play-off next weekend.

Seniors take a break The Mid Canterbury seniors have a week off to ponder a poor start to the Mainland football division one season, but the other senior sides are all in action tomorrow.

In Division four Mid Canterbury Eastern host Universities while a winless Methven are away to Parklands. The Mid Canterbury Masters are at home to Papanui Redwood. In 18th grade division two Mid Canterbury are away to Christchurch Boys’ High School 2nd XI after three weeks off, but will want to maintain the momentum they had, with two big wins and 16 goals to their credit. On Sunday the unbeaten Mid Canterbury women are at home to FC Twenty11.

causing an upset.

Evancho – won here three back and went close in a much stronger field last time. Horror draw but can threaten despite this.

Race 6:-

Double Blue – has ability and should have won before now. Has been looked after and set for this bonus race.

Cleo Layne – close up in all starts and will be here as well. Classy type with a future.

Agnus Brown – spelled after a top debut in a 20k race at the NZ Cup meeting. Indicates the regard the mare is held in. Strong chance.

Setyouspiritsfree – spirited finish on debut but didn’t back so well over a longer journey. Draw and home track advantage appeal.

Merci Cherie – good run on debut here but battled at Riccarton. Draw suits and should be in the finish.

Race 7:-

Biddedo – big improver from last start and capable of surprising if near her best.

Mt Difficulty – in very good form and looks well-placed with the apprentice allowance.

Gunnadoo – looked very earlier and has the pace to put these away if on the A game.

Dunoon – impressive win out of grade last time and if track is not heavy then another strong showing is likely.

Ketchme – record not quite what the

potential would indicate but if conditions suit more than capable of winning this.

Race 8:-

Devito – southern debut, showed good speed in previous races and has a significant rider upgrade.

Pearl Jam – resumed with solid runs both days at Blenheim. Should be further improved and prominent again.

Marks – former Myers horse heavily backed on the Coast circuit after Christmas. Looks hard to beat with its best run.

Wilma Rudolf – well supported on debut up North but disappointing overall.

Worth including as a rough hope.

Chapelle D’Or – has often gone sound races without threatening to win. Draw will aid chances here.

All five Mid Canterbury senior sides are bound for Timaru in Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition tomorrow. Wakanui Blue have a short turnaround for their midweek win over Tinwald to face Cambridge while Tinwald take on Tainui.

Defending champions Wakanui Black come off a three week break to battle Timaru Boys. Buoyed by a breakthrough win over St Andrews Hampstead have Craighead while Hampstead-Collegians face the wounded St Andrews who have lost their last two matches.

Thunder fight back Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook had a triple-double and newlycrowned MVP Kevin Durant almost did the same as the Thunder’s stars shone in a 112-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday which tied their NBA Western Conference semi-final series at 1-1. In the day’s other game, Roy Hibbert shook off his previously underwhelming playoff form and led Indiana to an 86-82 win over Washington which also squared their series at 1-1.

Mercedes hires Evans A New Zealand sports psychologist who helped the All Blacks overcome their World Cup hoodoo has been headhunted by a top Formula 1 team. Dr Ceri Evans, a former All Whites’ captain, has been enlisted to help steer star Mercedes team driver Lewis Hamilton to the world championship, according to The Telegraph.

The British newspaper reports that Christchurch-born Evans travelled to the last race, the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, to review Mercedes’ operations.

Judgement day for Hurricanes

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON Judge the Hurricanes on how they bounce back from a loss when they meet the Melbourne Rebels tonight.

Consistency has been a problem for the Hurricanes during Mark Hammett’s reign as coach and as they looked at racking up an unprecedented fifth-straight win last weekend they were tripped up 39-30 by the Waratahs in Sydney.

They have spent the week in

Melbourne as they look to a Rebels side who shape as a bogey team for many in Super Rugby.

The Rebels are a melting pot of nationalities and rarely click, but when they do they have the ability to torch unsuspecting outfits who arrive at AAMI expecting to rack up a bonus-point win.

The Hurricanes are playing with a rare freedom having found their groove during the past six weeks, and an improved defence has provided a solid base for them to attack from.

Coming back from their twogame road trip to Australia without a victory would be a sin given both games were there for the taking.

After the loss to the Waratahs, the Hurricanes’ dressing room became a chamber of truths.

“There’s no hiding, there was some pretty honest and upfront discussion,” Hammett said.

“We were pretty disappointed with our passion defensively but on the other side of that we ended up having to defend a heck of

a lot because we turned the ball over 21 times.”

Skipper Conrad Smith (right) had a similar line of thinking.

“A lot of the guys were very honest in what went wrong,” he said. “I think we’ll move on from this and be a better side because of it, hopefully.”

With a home outing against the Highlanders on the horizon next week, the Hurricanes need to show they have the toughness to come back from a frustrating loss tonight.

Alonso eyes F1 resurgence

BY TIM COLLINGS Fernando Alonso returns to race on home soil this weekend hoping for an unlikely resurrection of the form and pace that delivered his and Ferrari’s last victory.

That came a year ago in the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya where the two-time world champion won ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, then of Lotus, and Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari.

A repeat of that result would delight not only local Spanish fans, but also deliver a Ferrari one-two as Raikkonen joined the Italian ‘scuderia’ this season for a second time.

It would also please Williams fans, too, as the muchimproved British team is now home for the likeable Massa.

A year ago, the race may have been won by Alonso, but qualifying was dominated by the fast Mercedes pairing of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, who took the front row.

Rosberg led for 10 laps, before he fell away and finished sixth behind the two Red Bulls - a scenario that is less likely this season since Mercedes have won all four of the opening ‘flyaway’ races ahead of this opening round of the European part of the season.

This year has seen not only Mercedes domination with Hamilton reeling off three straight wins following Rosberg’s opening triumph in Australia, but also a solid consistency from Alonso in the chasing Ferrari.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Mercury, at an auspicious angle to beleaguered relationship forces, is here to spend as long as it takes to ensure the communication lines are open.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) You’ll not only find that things are starting to flow more easily on the work front, but the money is starting to flow as well.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With Mercury back in your sign, spending the majority of the next 2 months here, you have the time and resources to make communication a priority.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Pay more attention to your dreams, daydreams and to your ideas that a mix of intuitive and intellectual forces are alerting you to.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) This is the perfect time to pull back and reassess your options and priorities on the income, work and career fronts.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With a lot of water due to pass under the bridge over the next 2 months, it’s important to keep your mind and your options open.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Where life has been a little too serious it’s time to start living more in the moment, focused on the journey and the adventures waiting to be embraced.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) For the first time this year you’ve got planetary activity in one of your money houses, with the money gods finally showing up.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As Mercury spends his first full day in your relationship sector, work with him from the get go to ensure the communication lines are opening.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart it will be hard to buy into an all work and no play mentality.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) You can’t turn desires into reality if at some point you don’t first get real. Use any financial tension created as motivation.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) As Mercury spends his first full day in your home and family sector, you’re able to start exploring new ideas and options.

Like fathers, like sons . . .

Two of the original drivers will be contesting the 25th Anniversary Street Sprints along with their sons this weekend.

Malcolm Lovett and Wayne Muckle were drivers in the inaugural Street Sprints in 1990, and are joined by their sons - Mitchell Lovett and Thomas Muckle in the field of 54 drivers for this year’s event.

Wayne was fifth in 1990, in a “fairly wild RX7 back in those days”, with his best effort com-

ing a year later when a rain-affected second day allowed him to finish third.

“I had a Mazda 323 rally car so I had a bit more traction than the other cars, but that was when the four-wheel drive cars started coming into it,” Wayne said.

“I competed in the first couple, a few through the middle years and have done the last three.

“I’ve got back into it because Thomas is keen on motorsport.”

The 14-year-old Thomas is

Southern out to break losing streak P17

in his third street sprints, but it will be his first without Wayne in the passenger seat, driving a Honda Civic.

So far Wayne has been the faster of the two and hopes to keep it that way this weekend in his Porsche 911 Carrera.

The Lovetts on the other hand are sharing the wheel of a Mitsubishi Mirage, which has some similarities for Malcolm from the inaugural race.

“I was in a 120Y Datsun that day and my wife Cindy, but she wasn’t my wife at that point,

was also competing that day in the same car, but tomorrow it will be just the boys and mum will be taking photos,” Malcom said.

Malcolm has competed in several street sprints and is hoping to make the top 32 this time around, and finish high in the 1301-1600cc class while 17-year-old Mitchell in his second Street Sprints will be looking to improve on his 48th place finish last year.

Both Wayne and Malcolm reflected on how far the technol-

ogy has come since 1990. with the event now dominated by high powered Japanese imports that can be “lethal weapons” flying around the circuit.

One of those is the Mitsubishi Evo of Southland’s Glenn Frew, who returns as the three time defending champion looking to be the first driver to win four street sprint titles in a row.

Qualifying begins at 8.30am tomorrow to find the top 32 drivers for Sunday’s elimination that will conclude with a two car shootout at approximately 4pm.
