Five things that may interest you

Dog sniffs out love letter A romantic gesture was thwarted after a biosecurity detector dog sniffed out a romantic letter at the border. Cleo, a Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) detector beagle, pinpointed an envelope containing rose petals while scanning letter trays at the International Mail Centre in Auckland last month. “She stuck her nose right on the letter. Her tail started wagging like crazy and she responded perfectly, so we definitely knew there was something in there,” said MPI spokesman Craig Hughes.

The envelope revealed a love letter from Australia and some scarlet rose petals. “We had to remove the petals, as New Zealand’s strict import rules forbid fresh roses from entering the country due to the high risk of the material harbouring plant diseases or hitchhiking insects. “We didn’t want the intended recipient to miss out on this romantic gesture, so we sent a photo of the petals, and a letter outlining the importer’s options, namely having the flowers sent back to the sender, treated, or destroyed.”

One less Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will not be involved in the rumoured Spice Girls 20th anniversary reunion tour, her bandmate Melanie Chisholm has confirmed. The Spice Up Your Life singers hit headlines in August when a report suggested Beckham, Chisholm, Melanie and their bandmates Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton would be reuniting for a tour in 2016 to celebrate 20 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe. Mel C and Emma joked about the rumours on Twitter.com and Geri admitted there had been talks, but nothing official has been scheduled. Victoria, who left her pop career behind to become a fashion designer, previously said she had no intention of singing again after the group’s appearance at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and Mel C has now confirmed Victoria is not involved in talks.

New PM headed to NZ

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge have been granted a nofly zone over their English countryside estate, so they can enjoy life away from prying eyes. The royal couple welcomed its second child, Princess Charlotte, in May, and William and Kate have been spending an increasing amount of time at their 10-bedroom Anmer Hall estate in Norfolk. Now, British government officials have decided to ban unauthorised aircrafts from flying below 600 metres around the property.

“The Secretary of State has decided that it is necessary in the public interest to restrict flying in the vicinity of Anmer Hall, Norfolk, having regard to the security considerations associated with this location by reason of it being the residence of members of the Royal Family,” states the official order, which will go into effect on November 1.

Spring is sprung Spring is well under way and Kiwis can soak up the sunshine in most parts of the country this weekend. However some parts won’t be as lucky, with the western side of both islands due to experience isolated showers.

There will also be strong or gale westerly winds in the far south of the South Island.

Sun, rain and wind were all very common for the spring season, Metservice meteorologist Lisa Murray said. “It [the weekend] will be general spring-like conditions. Wind is very common,” she said.

Rugby fans in Christchurch will wake up to a chilly morning with temperatures expected to drop to 4C overnight both today and tomorrow. But Cantabrians can expect warmer weather later in the day as the temperature is set to reach 16C and 21C. respectively.

■ MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Dispute over CYF threshold claims

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury community organisations could come under increasing pressure to work with at-risk youngsters, according to a local principal.

However, that has been denied by the Ministry of Social Development, which says comments made by a staff member at a recent Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association (MCPA) meeting were taken out of context.

According to MCPA president

Chris Murphy, Child, Youth and Family (CYF) area manager Simon Coventry addressed the MCPA recently about the future direction of the organisation.

During that discussion, Mr Coventry allegedly told principals that CYF would only be dealing with the most serious of cases, while the rest would be picked up by non-governments organisations.

“The information we were given was that CYF was only dealing with the top 10 per cent of

referrals now,” Mr Murphy said.

“Nationally he was saying that there were 150,000 referrals a year, and now they’re only going to deal with 15,000.”

In a statement, a ministry spokesperson said Mr Coventry’s comments were misconstrued and taken out of context.

“Simon was simply referencing the broader discussion that has been under way around child protection in the last couple of years,” they said.

“He did not say that CYF is

now only dealing with the most serious 10 per cent of referrals.”

His talk was to give principals a perspective on the general direction of Child, Youth and Family in light of issues identified in last year’s Workload and Casework Review, the Vulnerable Children’s work – and the model that’s behind the development of children’s teams.

“These reviews and work programmes have identified that CYF needs to be focusing on the families that are most in

need of our services and statutory involvement, while the majority of families can be better helped through intervention by NGOs.” The organisation already contracted with a wide range of NGOs that provided services to families, they said.

“Most families we come into contact with do not need statutory involvement and the Children’s Action Plan outlines a whole new model of child protection that is being developed.”

Referrals decreased

Pink Ribbon appeal in memory of a sister

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Breast Cancer Month is a time to raise awareness and support for women living with breast cancer but also a time to remember those who lost their lives to the illness.

For Jo Wickett, Ruth Coppard and Diane Gibson, October is a time to remember their sister Heather Carey, who lost her battle with breast cancer 18 years ago.

Heather was breast-feeding when she discovered what appeared to be a lump on her breast.

Concerned, she visited a doctor and was told it was merely a blocked milk duct.

It wasn’t, and two weeks after the birth of her second child, at the age of 31, Heather was diagnosed with breast cancer.

With no family history and too young for mammo-

grams, she and her family were shocked. After treatment, Heather went into remission and did something no one thought possible – she got pregnant with her third child.

“They saw that as a blessing,” sister Ruth said.

However, the cancer “got away on her” and unable to be treated whilst pregnant, Heather died shortly before her third child’s first birthday.

This October, Jo, Ruth and

Diane are making it their mission to not only raise money for breast cancer but also awareness.

Together, they spent yesterday collecting for the Pink Ribbon Appeal in the Ashburton Arcade.

Other collectors will be out in force today, in both Ashburton and Methven for the final day of the appeal.

Donations can also be made online at nzbcf.org.nz.

A significant drop in the number of Child, Youth and Family referrals made by Mid Canterbury’s education sector does not mean demand for the service has decreased, according to the president of the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association.

Figures released by the Ministry of Social Development under the Official Information Act show that the number of care and protection reports of concern received from educators by the Ashburton CYF site has decreased by 36 per cent in three years.

In the financial year ending June 30 2013, 91 reports were received. At March 31 this year, 58 reports had been recorded.

MCPA president Chris Murphy does not believe demand for CYF services has subsided.

“I don’t think that the need has gone down,” he said. “We have been told that CYF has raised its threshold for dealing with issues, so maybe issues we were referring in the past are not being referred again.” It was a “very small portion” of Mid Canterbury that was frequently using the services of CYF, he said.

Schools also sometimes used the public health system as a conduit for putting requests through.

“There are 15 families that CYF recognises as being hard ones to deal with in Mid Canterbury. A lot of families are already in the system, so there won’t be another referral because they’re already working through that process.”

■ EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Paperwork tedious, but necessary

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Large volumes of paperwork can have an impact on time spent with children but it is necessary - that is the message from Mid Canterbury’s early childhood educators.

The country’s early childhood education system came under fire this week following the release of a survey, and while Mid Canterbury teachers were happy with the day-to-day running of centres they agreed paperwork was an issue.

Released on Wednesday by non-profit organisation Child Forum, the survey found many teachers were unhappy with multiple aspects of the early childhood sector.

It found a quarter of the 601

teachers surveyed would not be happy to have their child enrolled where they work and another fifth reported not having time to develop relationships with children.

However in Mid Canterbury, which is home to 31 early childhood centres, these issues do not seem to be a problem.

Nursery teacher at Child’s Play preschool Sonya Mackay said her centre had plenty of teachers on hand but paperwork could be time consuming.

“Luckily we work in a centre here where we can phone other areas and teachers will come over to cover those times,” Ms Mackay said.

However, when teachers work hard to build relationships, being “off the floor” and away

SITUATION IN MID CANTERBURY ■

Of the 31 early childhood centres in Mid Canterbury, Star Brights Homebased Care, Porse Ashburton and Childsplay Homebased Care and Education have the largest number of maximum licensed places at 80.

However, the Ministry of Education said that for some centres enrolment numbers may be greater than the number

“If you are on the floor for five or six hours a day that can decrease to three if you are writing reports or signing off any

Methven Playcentre and Mt Somers/Staveley Playcentre have the smallest number of maximum places at 20.

documentation.”

Regardless, Ms Mackay said she was happy with the number of teachers and child to teacher ratio at the centre, which was around 1:4.

“We also have a great man-

ager so we can phone through and say we need a set of hands and they’ll come over and be that teacher, I find we are really lucky here,” she said.

Tiddlywinks director Amanda Moore said her early childhood centre was also well staffed and like Child’s Play, had a 1:4 teacher/child ratio.

While she agreed paperwork was tedious, Ms Moore said it was worth it.

“As much as we hate it I think it’s for the benefit of the children, because they do it to make sure the quality of early childhood is high, she said.

“At the end of the day that is what we are here for, to provide quality early childhood education that is up there with primary.”

N-Bomb has police, hospitals worried

IN THE ANZAC CENTENARY YEAR AN AMERICAN LEGEND RETURNS!

The emergence of an illegal synthetic drug known as N-Bomb or synthetic LSD has seen five people treated in Christchurch Hospital’s emergency department this week and left another in critical condition in ICU. Canterbury Police and Canterbury District Health Board are concerned at the emergence of 25B-NBOMe, described as a powerful synthetic hallucinogen by the hospital’s emergency medicine specialist, Dr Paul Gee. “It is related to amphetamines so can cause toxicity associated with both classes of drug.

“Hallucinations, confusion and agitation are common symptoms, sometimes leading to uncontrollable violent behaviour.”

NBOMe is sold as a white powder or in capsules. There

have been deaths associated with NBOMe in Australia and in Asia.

“Recreational doses are measured in tiny microgram quantities (less than the size of a match-head) so it is very easy to use more than intended,” Dr Gee said.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jason Stewart said the last time a cluster of people had required treatment after using synthetic drugs in Christchurch was around six months ago.

“The real concern is that while five people have been treated in A&E in the last week, one person has been in ICU since their admission on Wednesday.”

Police are working with customs and other agencies nationwide to target users. - NZME

Concern over gun imports 24 MUSICIANS, SINGERS AND DANCERS ON STAGE A 2 HOUR MUSIC SPECTACLE

SUN 8 NOV 2.30PM ASHBURTON TRUST CENTRE BOOK NOW! ticketdirect.co.nz

More than 500,000 firearms, worth $242 million, have been legally imported into New Zealand over the last decade, newly obtained figures have revealed.

Around 55,000 new firearms - including high-powered hunting rifles, shotguns, pistols, semi-automatic weapons, and restricted airguns - come into the country every year, according to data obtained from Customs under the Official Information Act (OIA).

Frontline officers are seeing more guns in the hands of criminals, the Police Association says.

It is calling for an official police inquiry into where the guns are coming

from. Police said they believe there are around 1.5 million guns in New Zealand.

There are around 230,000 licensed firearms owners.

The new Customs figures show that since 2005, on average, 55,000 firearms come into New Zealand every year.

And since 2009, Customs officials have intercepted 3659 firearms at the border.

The number has spiked since the Arms (Military Style Semi-automatic Firearms and Import Controls) Amendment Act 2012 came into force in December 2013, which means starting pistols, restricted airguns and restricted weapons now require a permit to import. - NZME

■ SCIENCE AWARD

In brief

Finn’s top drug work

Scam alert Ashburton police are urging people to keep an eye out for scammers. According to local police, scammers claiming to be from Spark and Microsoft have been calling Mid Cantabrians.

Police advise not to engage with anyone suspected of being a scammer, and to hang up straight away.

An Ashburton man studying how to create lifesaving medicine at Oxford University has taken out a prestigious science award.

Finn Wolfreys, 24, scooped the top prize at the recent UCB PhD Networking Day for his presentation on molecular research.

UCB is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of medicines and solutions to transform the lives of people living with severe diseases of the immune system or of the central nervous system.

His project focused on using antibodies to explore complex proteins associated with certain diseases to assess their potential for targeting with a new generation of small molecule drugs.

In layman’s terms, Finn is researching how to create new drugs that could help people with lifethreatening illnesses such as cancer.

“It was nice to win,” he said.

“That kind of experimental science is a lot of hard work and long hours in the lab, so getting that kind of recognition is really great.”

The PhD student grew up in Ashburton before moving to Christchurch when he was five years old.

He is in his fourth and final year at Oxford University, where he is studying medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

His Ashburton-based family were very proud of his success, he said.

“They’ve been really supportive, so I think they were quite pleased to hear how I was getting on.”

Finn is looking to continue his pharmaceutical research work post-university.

Wastewater focus A subcommittee has been formed to oversee the Ashburton District Council’s Wilkins Road and Ocean Farm wastewater facilities. A review of the operational and farming activities at Ocean Farm identified opportunities to reduce costs, improve compliance, increase revenue and improve operations. It found a number of issues that were leading to increased costs, including high irrigation system maintenance costs and ineffective wetland cells.

The council’s Service Delivery Committee agreed to form a subcommittee to assist the council to finalise its action plan for Ocean Farm, based on the review’s recommendations. The subcommittee will also assist the council with other key wastewater projects.

Progress at last for local alcohol rules Ashburton’s local alcohol policy (LAP), will take one giant step towards implementation next week.

The plan, spelling out how, where and when alcohol can be consumed in bars, pubs and clubs around the Ashburton District, has been in limbo for many months while challenges

to off-licence trading hours and conditions went through the appeals process.

One challenger, Hospitality New Zealand, withdrew and agreement on issues in dispute has been reached with the other two, Progressive Enterprises and Super Liquor, and that, Ashburton District Council

environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson said, will see the plan signed off in court next week.

That sign-off however, while a giant step forward, does not mean the plan is good to go, she said. Council will still be required to go back to everyone who submitted on off-licence

hours and conditions, informing them of any changes to the plan. “How it unfolds from there, I’m still not sure.”

After more than a year of planning and community consultation, the district’s LAP was approved by council in February but since then has been bound up in challenges.

Community plans vigil for dead boy

By JoHn Weekes A community reeling after the death of 10-year-old Alex Fisher has started rallying around his devastated family, with a poignant healing ceremony carried out ahead of a vigil planned for tomorrow night.

The ceremony, or Whakawaatea, held at the Waitarere beach yesterday afternoon where the schoolboy’s body was found on Thursday followed a discussion between police, Horowhenua District

Ashburton Guardian 5

Council and local iwi Ngati Huia and Ngati Raukawa.

Around 20 people, including senior police, walked from Rua Ave through a track across the sand dunes to the place where the boy’s body was discovered by search teams three days after his disappearance.

Elders performed karakia near the cordon where investigators continued searching for clues and evidence.

Among those at the blessing was Manawatu area commander Inspector Sarah Stewart, who was also likely to attend a

vigil at Waitarere Domain tomorrow night.

Ms Stewart led the search for the missing boy and had to break the tragic news that he had been found dead, in what police are treating as suspicious circumstances, to Alex’s family.

Notice of a vigil in Alex’s memory was posted yesterday afternoon on the Waitarere Beach noticeboard near the local Four Square dairy.

“We will unite together as ‘1 Waitarere’ to help share, support each other and comprehend this tragic event,” it said.

Alex’s family, who live in Levin, revealed a long association with Waitarere Beach in a statement made through Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy. Alex’s grandmother had lived at the beach town for over 27 years, the family said.

The rallying of the local community came as police continued their homicide investigation. Last night they revealed a post-mortem examination had provided new leads into what happened to Alex, but would not divulge exactly what the autopsy uncovered. - NZME

A young baby has died from probable Meningococcal disease in Northland. Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection that causes two very serious illnesses: meningitis - an infection of the membranes that cover the brain - and septicaemia, or blood poisoning. “Meningococcal disease can kill very quickly. In this case, the baby died within 48 hours of becoming unwell and deteriorated very quickly. Tragically, despite the best attempts by hospital staff to save her life, the baby died,” said medical officer of health, Dr Clair Mills. This is the seventh case of meningococcal disease this year in Northland.

Crash victim dies The driver of a car struck by a van which was reportedly speeding the wrong way down a Christchurch street has died. Michael James Burnby, 44, died in Christchurch Hospital from injuries he suffered in Saturday’s smash, police said.

The collision took place on Salisbury St in the city. The van driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time, was thrown from vehicle and died at the scene.

The two occupants of the car were rushed to hospital. At the time police said CCTV footage showed the van speeding the wrong way along the road prior to the crash.

Many Mid Cantabrians are suffering tortuous hay fever as pollen is pushed across the province by wind. However, living conditions can also wreak havoc with allergies.

A recent survey on the state of New Zealand homes coincides with Allergy NZ’s awareness campaign and has highlighted a quarter of Kiwis who suffer from allergies or asthma can blame the condition of their home for aggravating their symptoms.

Allergy NZ chief executive Mark Dixon said conditions in the homes of allergy suffers can affect symptoms and lead to everything from increased itching through to nosebleeds and even days off work.

“Those living in sub-standard rental properties, such as students and low income families are particularly at risk of their allergy and asthma symptoms escalating, and a huge part of that is simply because of the state of the homes they are living in,” he said.

Ashburton resident John Hobbs said his hay fever was “debilitating”.

Currently on three allergy medications – anti-histamines, nasal spray and eye drops – Mr Hobbs said his hay fever used to be so bad the blood vessels in his nose would burst from constant sneezing.

At 25-years-old he makes a conscious effort to try and keep his allergies under control, but said when he was younger and in cold, damp flats they were

much worse.

“I did live in some questionable properties and my symptoms were worse.”

Another local, Karina Webb, said her allergy symptoms manifest themselves the same way.

“First my eyes go red, sore and weepy, then my nose is always running,” she said.

Ms Webb said with two small children, she makes sure the house is always warm and dry but it was pollen that activated her allergies.

Ashburton resident Clare Jack said she makes a conscious effort to spring clean her home, as dust-mites wreak havoc on her allergies.

“It’s all sneezes…and sinus headaches,” she said. “So I regularly spring clean and dust.”

Grants group rejigged Gym freebies debated A new decision-making body for Ashburton District Council’s community funding and grants will make the process clearer for organisations applying for assistance.

A Community Grants and Funding Subcommittee will replace the existing structure, which includes six subcommittees, a liaison group and the council.

Finance and Business Support Committee chair Cr Neil Brown said the existing structure could be confusing and led to people approaching elected members or council officers in an ad hoc way.

“People applying for funding or grants don’t always understand what is expected of them,” Mr Brown said. “Successful applicants also provide varying reports to council on how their funding was used, which means it’s harder to determine if the grant has provided value for money.”

Under the new structure, all funding and grants money will be part of one pool that will be approved during the Annual Plan/Long Term Plan process. The council will make a decision on the total amount to be allocated and distributed to successful applicants.

The question of whether sponsors of the EA Networks Centre should receive free membership to the facility was raised at yesterday’s Ashburton District Council finance and business support committee meeting.

As a “sweetener” the Ashburton Stadium Complex Trust, the organisation charged with fundraising for the centre, offered gold and silver category sponsors free or subsidised membership deals for their staff in return for donations.

The deal was to have been available for a year from when the complex opened.

Councillor Donna Favel said this could add up to more than $100,000 if everybody took up the offer, however there was no information at hand about how many people had done so.

She said the offer was made to sponsors but had filtered down to their staff.

Councillor Ken Cutforth said the income lag generated by the “freebies” may hold longer term benefits, in that some of the recipients may stay on.

“The trust was asked to raise $5 million, it was trying to make the deal as lucrative as possible to the corporates,” Mayor Angus McKay said.

The parents of a young Kiwi backpacker electrocuted while taking a holiday photograph are at his hospital bedside in Romania waiting for him to wake up. Fergus Chetwin-Kelly, 20, is in a coma with second-degree burns to 86 per cent of his body after the “freak accident” that happened when he touched a live cable in Cluj-Napoca, in the country’s northwest. The Christchurch man’s sister, Bridie, earlier said he climbed an abandoned train carriage to take a photo and accidentally touched a live cable when he lifted his arm to wave.

The mayoral fund raised nearly $110,000 and the Givealittle appeal $16,000. - NZME

Climate change speeds up glacial cut

■ MUSIC SCENE

Couger Lounge drummer Simon Christensen said the pub and live music scene is faring well.

Pub, live music culture alive and well in Vegas

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Pub culture is alive and well in Ashburton, according to Ashburton Trust acting chief executive Robert Reid.

In the wake of recent concerns about the death of pub culture in other centres, Mr Reid said live bands still played regularly in Ashburton – both original music and covers.

“We run bands most Saturday nights down at Braided Rivers and it’s very popular. It gets a lot of people out together,” he said.

Local musos agreed.

Simon Christensen: While a few years ago a local band might play two or three pub gigs a month locally, now it’s much more about private functions and covers, says local drummer Simon Christensen.

Simon said Ashburton has great night life facilities and the town is lucky . . . but the pub scene has changed in recent years.

“It’s different, it’s definitely different. With music, the youth are more into the electronic music and pop stuff.”

Simon currently plays with

Couger Lounge but has a wealth of experience on the music scene, previously playing with Doppler.

While Couger Lounge often play covers locally, they would only play an original set in bigger cities such as Christchurch or Timaru, he said.

Back in the Doppler days the band could play an original show in Ashburton and Methven and “pack the place out to the rim”, Simon said.

The age group of live-show attendees has changed over time too, Simon said.

“We play from 9pm until 12am and a lot of the youth will pre-load and hit town to go clubbing after that.”

However, the older generation well and truly make up for it.

“The oldies still love us and they’ll come out and get loose.”

Brett Colgan: Ashburton’s live music scene is still alive and well, according to local musician Brett Colgan.

Brett plays guitar for Couger Lounge and said while the pub scene has changed over time there is definitely a place for

live music.

“There are some really good facilities, no doubt about it, like probably just as good as anywhere else in New Zealand,” he said.

But with the pub scene very much consumer driven, Brett said the cost of going out compounded with transport difficulties does have an impact.

It’s understandable people might want to stay home and pre-load rather than go out early to watch a band.

As a result, the bands gigs can often attract an older crowd.

“They are probably that generation that has grown up with live music all the time.”

However, in summer people of all ages turn out.

“Over winter there is sport and stuff like that on and it’s cold, summer is more social.

We will play in the Tinwald Tav in December and have a packed house every time.”

James Rance: While pub culture is still strong in Ashburton, better venues could ramp it up even more, says a former Ashburton drummer.

James Rance plays the drums in the Christchurch band Skelter and is a student at CPIT’s jazz school.

James said he and his band have only played one gig in Ashburton, last week at Ashburton College during a lunch break.

“We had to settle on just the college gig because there didn’t seem to be any bar venues that we could have picked to play at,” he said.

“From the bars I’ve visited in the past, I can only recall one that would have been appropriate for a rock gig, and that closed down not too long ago.”

This has had big impact and while a hall can be hired, that can incur a hefty price tag which the band is not prepared for at this stage, he said.

“In saying that, I think pub culture in Ashburton is still pretty good…I just think it needs a proper venue to host a real in-your-face kind of gig.”

Places like the Dux Live in Christchurch are great for that, he said, hosting both local and international acts.

“If there was something of that equivalent in Ashburton, I think there’d be a lot of interest from people.”

A mathematical model has shown for the first time how climate change will increase glacial erosion by speeding up movement of the icy giants.

Using New Zealand’s Franz Josef Glacier as a model, a team of international scientists confirmed a theoretical model first proposed in the 1970s by demonstrating that the rate of glacial erosion was proportional to the square of the glacier’s speed.

This meant that fast moving glaciers, or portions of glaciers, would erode much more rock than slow-moving glaciers – and the pattern would increase erosion as climate change sped up movement.

The findings, just published in the journal Science, applied to faster-moving glaciers in mountainous mid-latitude regions, such as the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers, but not necessarily to polar glaciers that moved more slowly.

Study co-author and GNS Science geologist Simon Cox said this “non-linear behaviour” explained the wide range of observed glacial erosion rates – and also the profound impact of glaciation on mountainous landscapes during the past few millions years.

“The erosive power of glaciers varies considerably, with some of the most rapid glacial erosion happening in mid-latitude climates,” he said.

“This research confirms that fast glaciers are more effective at gouging landscapes than slow-moving ones.”

Although the process of glaciation was widespread in the landscape, scientists did not fully understand it, partly because of the great difficulty accessing the ice-bedrock interface underneath glaciers.

In the study of the Franz Josef Glacier, which took place over a five-month period in 2013 and 2014, the scientists used a combination of two techniques to shed light on the glacier’s behaviour.

Firstly, they used satellite imagery to measure the speed of the glacier at its surface, which reaches up to 3m-a-day.

At the same time, they analysed the crystalline structure of carbon-bearing particles – mostly graphite – collected from the meltwater river below the glacier. This enabled them to quantify erosion rates beneath the glacier. From the results, they have developed a law for glacial erosion.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Council spends $480k trimming shady trees More than $480,000 in ratepayer dollars has been spent over the past two years by the Ashburton District Council trimming private shelterbelts to keep the district’s roads frost free.

Much of that money, however has been recovered from property owners, but the work is on-going and if district councillor Peter Reveley has his way, spending on shelterbelt trimming would be stepped up.

The council has had rural shelterbelts on its work list since 2008, Mr Reveley said.

Properties had been identified and the council had committed to having its contractors carry out the work, but a map of the district showed there was a raft of roads that were still badly shaded, he said.

At Thursday’s council service delivery committee meeting, council contracts manager

Brian Fauth said he planned to tackle shelterbelts along main roads around the district, working down the list to less frequently used roads.

The work priority should be done according to where the council regularly gritted icy roads, councillor Neil Brown said.

“There’s no point in going out and making people remove or trim shelterbelts where there’re no problems,” he said.

He suggested the council should overlay the shelterbelt map with its gritting map and that would clearly identify where the work was urgently needed.

Korean sex workers held captive, man says The Korean Consulate is urging the police and Immigration New Zealand to investigate claims that Korean sex workers were being held against their will in a central Auckland apartment.

A man, who had visited a sex worker as a client, claimed a note was allegedly written by the prostitute and secretly handed to him seeking help.

The note, written in Korean ethnic script on a yellow post-it sheet, translated as: “Help me! I want to go back to Korea.”

But police said after interviewing the man that there was insufficient evidence to commence an investigation and felt confident the situation disclosed “may not be wholly accurate”.

“We have urged both New Zealand Police and Immigration to carry out immediate and thorough investigations for this matter. We have been working closely with them,” said Korean consul Kyoung Ho Kim. “The consulate has been taking this matter very seriously as it may involve the safety and

wellbeing of our Korean nationals.”

He alleged the woman told him that she and four others, also from Korea, were held captive in the apartment and could not go anywhere without being escorted.

The Herald understands the man also said he was told that more sex workers are being brought in from Korea to work at the address this week.

Immigration assistant general manager Peter Devoy said it needed names of the individuals who are allegedly being held captive before the agency could proceed any further.

“INZ does not condone any illegal workers in any industry but it does need full names of any individuals working in the industry and suspected of being on a temporary visa so that it can check their immigration status and take appropriate action,” Mr Devoy said.

“If you can supply the full details in this case we can act on the information.”

Inset – High country beauty – A weekend workshop at Mesopotamia takes direction from Debbie Lambert.

Injuries don’t keep Ashburton artist from her passion H

aving both hands in casts after a nasty fall in June did not keep Ashburton artist Debbie Lambert away from her beloved painting.

The mum-of-three, who lives in Ashburton with husband Ken, had a suspected break requiring a moulded cast on her right hand, and a broken bone in her wrist requiring a cast on her left hand. She had fallen in June after tripping over a wire across a path at night-time, at an art show in Christchurch.

“If I wasn’t going to work with my hands, I was going to start with my mouth or my feet, it’s my happy place,” Mrs Lambert said of her painting passion.

But the moulded cast could be removed temporarily, so for the 10 weeks she had the casts inhibiting her life, she still managed to paint with her hands,

Impressions by 9 at the Ashburton Art Gallery features landscapes in extreme climates, and they all have a story of adventure behind them. Susan Sandys reports. albeit a bit slower and with a bit more care than usual.

Mrs Lambert’s day job is as a genetics field consultant. She has always painted and painting outdoors is what she loves most.

She is among a group of about 15 artists from the Mid Canterbury area who regularly go on plein air painting trips together.

Nine of the group feature in the Impressions by 9 exhibition under way at the Ashburton Art Gallery.

Eleven of the 89 paintings on display, ranging in price from $250 to $6900, have been painted by Mrs Lambert and over half of these she created

since her injury.

Among scenes are those from a trip in August to a hut on the Clyde River at Erewhon Station. It is just one of the amazing places the group visits for weekend trips to paint some of the best scenery the South Island has to offer.

The trips always come with their fair share of adventure, such as challenging four-wheeldriving terrain and high country frosts and winds.

Recently on a trip to Black Mountain Hut at Mesopotamia, Mrs Lambert’s car got stuck in a river.

She was towed out by a fellow group member, only to get a flat tyre upon reaching their

destination. The tyre was not easy to remove, even by burly hunters who happened to arrive on the scene.

However, the next day more hunters arrived, one of whom happened to have his truck which doubled as a work vehicle for roadside rescue services.

“It looked like the AA had arrived,” Mrs Lambert said.

The group is used to their oil paints becoming frozen in the cold and having to plan their painting around weather extremes.

But the result makes it all worth it, she said.

“There’s a lovely looseness that you get when you are painting on location, because

you have a limited time frame, you don’t have time to deal with the little fine things, it’s just to capture the mood and the feelings.”

It was a type of painting which usually employed bigger and bolder brush strokes and it was in a setting which inspired peace and contentment.

Mrs Lambert enjoys passing on her skills to others and has instructed a range of classes, including at the Methven Summer School.

“It’s just a good place to be in, regardless of the outcome, no distractions, cellphones don’t work, you are surrounded by the most amazing scenery that you could ever ask for.”

What’s ahead for Mid Canterbury schools

T

he education sector in Mid Canterbury has undergone a major shakeup in recent years.

An influx of pupils has stretched resources in many schools, forcing classes into libraries, dental clinics and every other available space.

Builders in high-vis vests became as common as uniformclad kids on school sites as dozens of construction projects sprang up, injecting hundreds of thousands of dollars into the district’s economy. A new era of collaboration began as schools looked to work together to achieve results, all the while sparring with the Government over funding, pay and strict new health and safety regulations.

With so much change, principals have barely had time to focus on what they really enjoy – getting back to basics and working with teachers and kids.

However, the president of the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association believes the sector is heading for a period of stability that will allow educators to do just that.

Chris Murphy says parents will be well served by all schools in the district, no matter their preferences.

“Education is an incredibly fashionable thing and it’s very well researched,” he said.

“Teachers are used to change, they’re used to adopting new practices and we’ve got probably the best national curriculum in the world.”

While Mid Canterbury schools work collaboratively on the majority of local issues, those ties are set to be strengthened even further thanks to the Investing in Educational Suc-

Mid Canterbury is a district that is constantly changing, growing and adapting. From burgeoning school rolls and an increasingly multi-cultural community to housing shortages and challenges in the dairy industry, it is clear that there is plenty of change still to come. Over the next few weeks, Guardian reporters will examine what the future has in store for sectors across the district, from education to agriculture and everything in between. This week reporter Daisy Hudson checks out what’s ahead for Mid Canterbury schools. cess programme.

The $359 million programme will see schools grouped into “communities”, with highperforming teachers and principals paid more to lift student achievement across those groups.

Mid Canterbury schools have been in discussions to possibly form one of those communities in the near future, which could see them working even more closely together.

However, the proposal is still on the table, so at this stage it’s a matter of watching and waiting.

A major trend in local education over the past few years is also set to stabilise.

Despite the district’s booming school rolls, Mr Murphy says the Ministry of Education has ruled out the creation of a new school in the area any time soon.

“The ministry have said categorically that there’ll be no more schools in Mid Canterbury.”

Both of the district’s secondary schools still have room for more students, while a flurry of building work at primary schools should allow for more comfortable growth in the

future, he said.

“I’d see that we are well down the track of having the number of dairy conversions that we’re going to have, so I think we’ll start to see rolls ... stabilise around the district.

“A lot of it depends on housing, who wants to live where.

“There’s a lot of things outside of the education sector that affect it, so we’re used to rolling with the punches.”

Unless rolls were to drop dramatically, it is also unlikely Mid Canterbury will see any more school closures in the near future.

“The only people that can close a school, or start that process, is the community itself,” Mr Murphy said.

Some parents purposefully opted for small country schools, whereas other parents believed there were more opportunities at larger, urban schools, he said.

Having that choice was one of the district’s strengths.

However, despite the period of stability schools are set to enjoy, some of the district’s big issues won’t be going away any time soon.

One of the biggest potential changes is religious education.

Mr Murphy predicts that

religious education will cease to exist in its current capacity in schools, primarily because of legal challenges.

“I can see a time when, due to legal reasons, it probably won’t be offered anymore. “[With] the current antiBible in Schools movement, they’ll be able to find a legal standpoint that will make it impossible for schools to have it during the school day.”

However, he believed some schools would try to continue to offer religious education outside of normal school time, such as during breaks or after school.

School funding, particularly for special education, also continues to be a concern for principals.

The ministry has been reviewing special education in the wake of serious criticism about access to services.

“It’s something that all principals are watching with great concern,” Mr Murphy said.

Mid Canterbury principals have long been vocal in their criticism of the way special education is funded, with some saying that high-needs children are put at risk because they cannot access vital services and

support.

Work is also under way on tackling the issue of attracting teaching staff to Mid Canterbury.

Principals are working alongside Grow Mid Canterbury to promote the district as a place to live and work.

“We need to be quite proactive about providing information as to why you would want to come to Mid Canterbury to teach,” Mr Murphy said.

“It has to be a partnership thing, because quite often there’s two incomes to think about.”

With many issues put to rest and several more that will require work, it’s still interesting times ahead for the education sector.

For Mid Canterbury schools, a period of relative stability after a whirlwind few years of change would be welcomed.

“We’d really like to get back to that strategic thinking about teaching and learning,” he said.

“That’s the thing that drives principals, it’s not property, it’s not playgrounds and things, it’s what’s happening in the classrooms.

“We’re all trying to make a difference.”

Christmas has already arrived at Michelle Kingsford’s house as she begins to unpack 5000 decorations and put them on display for the public for one last time.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 071015-TM-034

n a steaming hot October nor’west day a door slams shut in Hampstead, jingling the waterfalls of fairy lights surrounding the porch.

Inside, the hallway gives little sign of the merriment that lies beyond or the joy the house itself has given to visitors over the years.

Remnants of recent renovations confront you in the form of an exposed ceiling where once there was wall, made bigger in an effort to give Michelle more space to display her extraordinary collection. And yes, you read correctly. So besotted with Christmas, Michelle and husband Paul ripped out a wall in their lounge so they had more room to house decorations.

Upon arrival you have to remind yourself that Good King Wenceslas has not yet ridden into town because, from all appearances, festivities have commenced, the turkey’s on the table and the presents unwrapped.

That’s how it is at the Kingsford house at this time of year. All spare hands are put to work opening, checking and erecting a magnificent stack of lights and decorations. It takes every spare moment from her and husband Paul between now and the middle of December to get their Christmas show on the road.

But this year will be their last as they get set to relocate to Melbourne and, although Ashburton residents won’t have the chance to see their Christmas home next year, Michelle thinks they will carry on the tradition in Australia, where decorated houses are aplenty, “as are Christmas decoration shops”, Michelle quips, thinking of her next purchase.

It might sound like madness or a great thesis for a psychology major, but the reasons for the couple’s obsession with the yuletide season is in reality something a lot simpler ... joy and the smiles their panoply of embellishments brings to even the surliest of baa humbugs.

It’s been a true labour of love for the couple following 30 years of collecting – a stark contrast to the household Michelle grew up in.

“I never had Christmas growing up. There just weren’t the finances around so we didn’t have a tree or presents.”

So once a mum herself Michelle began to amass a cache of decorations and, although husband Paul has always faked mock disgust at her passion for all things festive, she believes he secretly enjoys it.

“He gives you the impression he’s a baa humbug but he’s not. It gets to the stage at this time of year where he comes home from work and asks me how we are going to do the display this year.”

But what do their four children think of all the merrymaking and the endless lines of locals padding through their private residence?

Tis the season for ... wait ... mas Eve? Guardian report

“They just go with the flow!”

It may be hard work unpacking and maintaining the glittering mountain of ornaments and the 20,000 fairy lights, but it also extends the Christmas season for the couple, with Michelle likening opening the boxes up each year to unwrapping presents.

Having displayed to the public for over a decade, the couple have loved witnessing the happiness it brings the community but do fear that once they have packed up this year there won’t be anyone to take their place.

Michelle would like to see the council organise a display in support of the community.

“And I would love to see other houses doing the same. I think we are just about the last to open our house up.”

Their collection is insured for $70,000, and while it does cost a tidy sum in batteries and power each year, the couple doesn’t mind, choosing to give any monetary donations they receive to local charities.

bracing Christmas

it’s not the season, so why is Michelle Kingsford’s house teeming with tinsel and why should you visit her house this Christter Nadine Porter channels her inner festive joy and sits down among 5000 decorations to find out why.

BUSINESS OF CHRISTMAS THRIVING

I

t’s been 10 years since The Christmas Hut opened its doors in Christchurch and contrary to the sceptics, the business is thriving.

Owners Peter and Christabel Blacklock have just re-opened in a new purpose-built shop that’s more like a festive fairyland to those that are crazy about the festive season and say the hardiest lovers of Christmas already have their trees erected and their houses decorated.

New Zealanders, Christabel says, are increasingly decorating their properties, with a large emphasis on outdoor lights.

With loyal customers throughout New Zealand, retail is all year round, with many choosing to layby in order to add to their collection.

But for some the joy lies in just visiting New Zealand’s largest Christmas shop and absorbing the wonderment.

“And we don’t mind that. We don’t do the hard sell. We like people to come and look.”

After the earthquakes the shop offered a feel-good factor to local residents and has gone from strength to strength.

It may have been a decade since the couple stopped selling giftware in a mall and began to sell Christmas ornaments from all over the world, but the excitement is still there – in every box they unpack and every smile on a child’s face.

“And I just love going home with glitter in my hair! That’s what it’s all about.”

HOW IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL

E

ver wondered why some people go nuts over Christmas? A study by Michael Schmitt just might have the answers.

According to his study, Christians are buoyed by Christmas nativity displays, while non-Christians feel such displays exclude them.

A questionnaire conducted in a cubicle with a Christmas tree, and then without, showed that those who celebrated the festive season had increased self-assurance and joviality, but strangely also felt more guilt.

Conversely non-celebrators had a less positive mood, meaning the baa humbugs among us are probably likely to stay that way and those that celebrate Christmas to excess may have had their natural festiveness repressed in childhood.

Some of the stunning decorations collected over 30 years at Michelle and Paul Kingsford’s Hampstead home.

For them it’s a way they can help create delight for all ages at what can be a sad time of year for some.

So caring are they that they will stay up until near 3am on Christmas morning, or until the last visitor leaves, knowing that their beautiful

collection has made many people happy over many years.

Michelle’s drive to make the festive season special for all is best summed up by her mantra.

“Someone’s got to believe in something sometime,” she says.

Thanks for sharing your news with me Daisy Hudson

REPORTER

A

few weeks ago a budding young reporter at Hinds School asked me what I liked the most about my job.

“Getting to share people’s stories with the world,” I replied.

Now, as I write my final few column inches for the Guardian, I’m fairly confident that answer won’t change.

Over the past 12 months I’ve been privileged to share all the amazing things that happen in this district each and every day.

I’ve covered the good, the bad, and everything in between.

As a reporter, nothing beats the adrenaline of diving headfirst into a cracking story – even the ones that turn up at 4.30pm on a Friday.

Nothing beats the look on a kid’s face when they realise their spelling bee victory, pet day costume, or singing trophy will make it into the paper.

And nothing, anywhere, comes close to the honour and responsibility of helping the grieving share their memories of a lost loved one with their community.

I showed up in Ashburton as a terrified, tongue tied graduate from Dunedin one year ago.

My first job was Boulevard Day, and as I tottered around in my high heels on a freezing afternoon I realised that I may have to adapt slightly from the big smoke.

Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work with a team of professional and dedicated journalists who are committed to doing the best by their town.

Their support, guidance, and banter will be sorely missed.

So, all that’s left now is to dismantle the paper avalanche that constantly threatens my desk, bin the six-month-old school newsletters that I kept “just in case”, and to say thanks.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer the phone, reply to an email, and share their stories with a perfect stranger.

I hope I did them justice.

So, farewell, so long, and thanks for all the tips.

Farmers’ Vote It’s vital all Silver Fern Farm (SFF) shareholders participate in the upcoming vote of the proposed joint venture with Chinese investor Shanghai Mailing.

Silver Fern Farms is the farmer’s Company, with farmer control, farmer benefits. Farmers have a choice to control our own destiny and benefits, or have someone else take that control away and reap all the benefits. Farmers should vote NO.

Pasture is gathering momentum.

There is capacity for a $90m rights issue for SFF which could be largely underwritten by a group of NZ agribusinesses along with Bank approval.

In short this would create strong equity position for SFF. This would mean: (a) creating strong equity position for SFF (b) retaining NZ ownership and control of SFF (c) retain 100% benefits of the added-value Plate to Pasture strategy (c) retain 100% of SFF market returns. Enjoy the benefits!

No dilution to overseas interest!

The typical farmer on holiday

Ashburton Guardian 15

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Do we need to do more to capitalise on big events at the EA Networks Centre?

Yes 80% No 20%

Nadine Porter HALFWAY THERE

T

he farmer on holiday is quite something and requires much manhandling to make it happen.

“I’m too busy,” or “we can’t afford it” are the normal pro quo grumbles but it pays to just ignore them and that’s just what the girls and I did last week when we decided the Porter tribe would head to the remote Port Levy in Banks Peninsula.

A note to all farming wives - it’s vital you choose your location wisely.

A city will never do for a farmer so use your nose and choose an area that’s just far enough away to be a security blanket (in this case a farm cottage on a working farm) but close enough that you and the kids can sneak away to the shops for a day (Akaroa).

So, feeling rather smug, the kids and I packed up for two nights and awaited the farmer’s presence. This is always the crucial point of any trip.

First, if he is going, the farmer will arrive at least an hour after scheduled departure time, second, from the look on his face, you can tell if he’s going to pull a “get out of jail free” card.

In this case it was nor’west wind and irrigators that needed to be tied down.

The hangdog look on his face and his fervent promise of arrival the next afternoon was all par for the course but leaving me with the tiny two-year-old terror (a.k.a Nina) alone, by a sea, was quite another matter.

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you suffer from hay fever?

The farmer on holiday with my three girls, resembles a Sloth once he gets there.

PHOTO NADINE PORTER

Never fear though, the girls and I were up for an adventure.

We did have a lovely night and next day but it’s fair to say excitement was at fever pitch by mid-afternoon when the farmer’s arrival was imminent.

With no cellphone reception I set about making a scrummy dinner but began to get increasingly weary as my little cherubs begged and then demanded to know when their father was coming and I couldn’t give them a clear response.

After copious explanations, I gritted my teeth when he finally arrived at 7pm, and sighed as the farmer talked to the other farmer, who owned the property, for half an hour while our din dins cooled.

“Hi love,” he called out cheerily, taking his hallowed place at

the dinner table, as if he had not been over 24 hours late.

I had to admire his cheery disposition, seeing as how I was bedraggled after sorting out holiday biffos between the older siblings and hungry irritable children.

And then he proceeded to chew, gulp and then lie back on the front porch on a comfortable chair (while I did the dishes) where he remained for most of the night and then again the next morning.

You see, once on holiday the Farmer is unmoveable – like a brick.

Resplete with farming newspapers and a cup of tea he is at one with his environment and like a sloth will not be rushed.

All manner of hell can break loose but the Farmer magically manages to not see any of it,

immersed in his farming news - like when the tiny terror belted her older sister, causing a bleeding nose and a hideous amount of screaming.

“They’ll sort it out love,” he advised as I panicked, and went back to reading.

When it was time to leave he disappeared to talk ‘farming’ again with his new mate, while the kids niggled at each other in the back seat of the car.

Finally he strolled back and smiled widely. “Got everything?” he asked – to which I nodded grumpily.

“Good girl – well, you go on ahead love. I’m going for a farm tour.

I’ll follow you home later… oh, and I didn’t get time to clean up the house before I left…but you’ll soon sort it out.”

■ CHRISTIAN COMMENT

ecently, at the Sunday service, we read from Chapter Three of James’ epistle to the 12 tribes of Israel.

One commentator asks the question of this passage, “Can the tongue be tamed?” Various versions of the Bible have different titles for the section of the epistle, (verses 1 – 9). In NIV the title is “Taming the Tongue” while the new King James version refers to it as “The Untameable Tongue”.

The passage compares the tongue with the bit in the horse’s mouth, which can turn

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

the animal, with the ship’s rudder, which though small, can control a large ship, and with a small fire, which can burn a whole forest. The tongue, though small can do good and evil.

James reminds us that we all stumble at times, if we are never at fault we are perfect and able to keep the body in check.

We know that none of us are perfect.

Can any of us say that we have never said something that we regret almost as soon as we have spoken? This message is as relevant today as when it was written. We are constantly hearing of bullying and intimidation, at work, at school, and at home.

The word today may be both spoken and written. We need to be aware of the potential damage done by a loose tongue.

We know we will slip up from time to time but we should

endeavour to think before making hurtful comments to others.

James says, “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing… this should not be.”

Let us each try to make our community a better place by considering how our words may affect others.

Mt Albert re-asserts dominance

By James Ford

Mount Albert Grammar were crowned national secondary schools’ Champions for the fourth successive season at the EA Networks Centre with a 4135 win over St Kentigern College yesterday.

Mount Albert were ahead, albeit narrowly, throughout the

all-Auckland final, and extended their lead in the game’s final quarter.

Mount Albert were the tournament’s in-form team, disposing of all before them with wins over Baradene College (43-10), Roncalli College (59-11), Manukura (53-24) and Epsom Girls’ Grammar (48-9) before downing Wellington East Girls’

“It was an epic battle, one we’ve had with St Kentigern all season.

“It’s our fourth season winning this competition, which is hard to do, so I’m very proud

of our team,” she said.

“It’s (the EA Networks Centre) beautiful, fantastic.

“Ashburton should be very proud to have such a great facility like that.”

Wellington East Girls’ College took third place with a 33-20 win over St Mary’s College in the afternoon’s earlier match.

In brief

■ CRICKET

Promotion main objective

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

After being relegated last season, 1st XI captain Kieran Hunt and his fellow year 13s are gunning for promotion to end their college cricket careers on a high.

Hunt, like all good captains, is team orientated, and confident the structure is in place for the current crop of players to perform well this season.

“There’s a lot of pressure on us year 13s at the top of the order to make it easier for the young guys below us,” he said. “I think we’ve got a good chance of getting promoted.

“We’ve got a good team environment at the moment, Mark’s (Reid) doing a good job and we’ve got a lot of good parent help.”

The all-rounder got his first taste of playing cricket overseas in April when he represented an invitational secondary school XI in Sri Lanka, and has now applied for a scholarship to play in England through the Willows Cricket Cub in Christchurch.

Hunt described his chances of being awarded the scholarship as a “long shot” but the 18-year-old, who also co-captained Ashburton College’s 1st XV, has impressed coach Reid.

“He’s learning more as captain about tactics, but he’s a natural leader and sets a good example off the field.

“He’s very organised, he’s very intelligent and mature for his age,” said Reid.

Hunt has made one appearance for Mid Canterbury’s senior side so far, a Hawke Cup match against rivals North Otago earlier this year, and hopes to make many more over the coming seasons.

“I’d like to play quite a few games for the Mid Canterbury seniors, and I’d like to play for the Canterbury under 19s over the next couple of years,” he said.

Rather than talking about his own aspirations in the game, Hunt is more comfortable discussing what he can do for his team, and how the College XI is left when he departs for the University of Canterbury to study primary school teaching next year.

“I think for the year 13 guys, myself, Scott Punsellie and Michael Burton, it’s to get the boys back in to that top division,” he said.

Hunt reflected positively on his time playing cricket at Ashburton College and is hoping to make the most of playing with his younger brother and fellow all-rounder, Gareth, over the coming months.

“One of my fondest memories would be playing with my little brother, it’s nice to bat with him in the middle, but it’s not always a long partnership.”

Ashburton College will take on Waitaki Boys’ High School in a 50-over preseason match in Oamaru tomorrow.

Johnathan Thurston and Matt Scott will lead North Queensland players on a victory lap of their vast region to show off the club’s inaugural NRL premiership trophy to their adoring fans. The club said yesterday Dally M and Clive Churchill medallist Thurston and his co-captain Scott would head a contingent of Cowboys players who would visit Mackay, Mount Isa and Cairns on Sunday week, October 18. Final details are yet to be ironed out, but the tour will take the form of a charter flight leaving Townsville, travelling south to Mackay, west to Mount Isa and then north to Cairns.

Challenge option The NRL says a captain’s challenge option will be next following next year’s introduction of an NFL-style “bunker” referral system in a bid to improve the standard of video refereeing. The league’s head of football Todd Greenberg revealed the full details of the ground-breaking Central Command Centre - to be located at Redfern in Sydney at Rugby League Central yesterday. It will be a first for Australian sport, utilising Hawk-Eye video review technology and supported by Telstra’s Digital Video Network platform. - AAP

Wigan motivated Giving popular Australian star Matt Bowen a fitting send off into retirement is extra motivation for Wigan in this weekend’s Super League grand final. Bowen will end his illustrious 16-year rugby league career when the Warriors take on Leeds in the title decider at Old Trafford tomorrow. An electric runner, the 33-year-old fullback’s career is strewn with highlights. He retains the record for most NRL games for North Queensland - 270 - was responsible for one of State of Origin’s iconic moments when he scored an intercept try for Queensland in the 2005 series opener and is generally regarded as one of history’s most dynamic fullbacks. - AAP

Trophy on tour

Lara and Muttiah Muralitharan facing off in the United States.

Chappell questioned the value of the series, which will also include 52-year-old West Indian fast bowling legends Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose.

“I’ve always thought that the reason for retiring is that you wanted to stop playing,” Chap-

pell said. “The other thing I don’t understand is why people want to watch older cricketers.

“At the end of his time with the Melbourne Stars, Shane Warne was struggling in the field as you would expect with someone in their 40s. Your back gives you trouble, you can’t bend over as easily. You start to look like what

you are - an old cricketer.”

Warne said Chappell was one of very few who had taken a negative view of the series.

“It’s a bit harsh I think for Chaps to say that,” Warne said.

“I would have thought he would have seen the bigger picture about spreading the game of cricket globally.”

Jarryd Hayne’s latest fumble was a rookie mistake but he needs to be more decisive in his role as a punt returner, according to the San Francisco 49ers’ special teams coordinator. “Jarryd is a typical young player,” Thomas McGaughey said. “He’s going to make mistakes and he’s going to make some plays because he’s a talented guy.” McGaughey said Hayne took too long to call for a fair catch in the loss to the Green Bay Packers, leading to confusion among his teammates and the fumble. If they had heard Hayne call for a fair catch, the 49ers’ special teams unit would have peeled off and let Hayne have space to take a fair catch and kill the play. - AFP

In brief Parker well prepared Joseph Parker says he’s in the best shape of his life as he prepares for his fight against veteran boxer Kali Meehan next week. 23-year-old Parker, who has an unbeaten record of 15 fights with 13 knockouts, is set to face an opponent with a superior reach, something he has rarely come up against. And when it comes to reach, Meehan has a 13 cm advantage. “Kali fought three world champions, he’s very experienced, he’s been in 12 rounds a bunch of times, so I think this fight is the most prepared Joseph you’ll ever see,” he said.

Ashburton may not have had a team competing at the national secondary schools’ championships at the EA Network Centre, but has been well represented by players returning to their home town.

St Andrew’s College trio Samantha Molloy, Nicola Baxter and Catherine Kuyf are all from Mid Canterbury, and despite finishing in 15th place, have enjoyed the tournament.

St Andrew’s placed third in the South Island Championships to qualify, and Molloy has made the most of pitting her skills against the nation’s best secondary school teams.

“It was a great achievement for us to even be here, for us to get third at South Islands was one of our goals and we’re really proud to achieve that, but the level of competition here is extreme,” said Molloy.

Baxter said the tournament offered the South Island teams a

taste of the North Island sides’ fast-paced style, but believes the southerners adapted well.

“They have a different kind of play, a bit rougher, and their style is different from ours, so you have to adjust to that.

“It’s faster and more physical and they have a bit more grunt,” said Baxter.

Kuyf, who injured her ankle in St Andrew’s penultimate game against St Margaret’s, said she enjoyed playing in front of friends and family and credited

the EA Networks Centre for its facilities.

“Mum and Nan have come and watched so it’s been good.

“I haven’t played here for about five years, so coming back home is always good,” said Kuyf.

“I think it’s really good, really good for Ashburton, the courts have been great.”

St Andrew’s finished the tournament on a high with a 35-34 win over Roncalli College yesterday morning.

Racing suspended after spectacular crash

By Laine CLark Defending champion Chaz Mostert has been airlifted to hospital with a broken leg after a spectacular crash during Bathurst 1000 qualifying that also injured five trackside marshals.

Mostert, 23, suffered leg and wrist fractures in the horror crash that suspended Bathurst 1000 qualifying until today.

One marshal was taken to hospital in a stable condition with a suspected chest injury, while an-

other four suffered minor complaints.

V8 Supercars young gun Mostert pinballed off the walls as he reached the Forrest’s Elbow section just minutes into the meeting’s first qualifying session yesterday afternoon.

“Our No.1 priority is the safety of our drivers and officials,” V8 Supercars boss James Warburton said.

“Our thoughts are with Chaz and his family and the marshals who do an incredible job.

“I’d like to thank the specialist emergency response teams and medical staff at the circuit.”

Mostert’s parents Eddie and Maree were present in the team garage during the crash.

It marked Mostert’s second horror crash in three years on the mountain.

Mostert emerged unscathed when he made heavy contact at Reid Park with his Ford in 2013 practice on his Bathurst 1000 debut.

Last year, he won the Great

Race with Paul Morris in a famous last-to-first effort.

“First of all, we hope Chaz is alright.

“He’s got to get back on the horse, but it’s a pretty powerful horse,” two-time Bathurst champion Russell Ingall told Seven Network.

“This may re-live memories (of the previous crash for Mostert).”

V8 Supercars officials are yet to release today’s re-jigged qualifying schedule.

- AAP

Whincup sets record Six-time series champion Jamie Whincup has stolen the show at Bathurst 1000 final practice by clocking the fastest ever V8 Supercars lap at Mount Panorama. Whincup clocked two minutes, 04.90 seconds in the last session before qualifying - more than half a second faster than Holden’s Fabian Coulthard’s practice effort on Thursday. He finished ahead of Ford’s Scott Pye (2:05.24), who will partner two-time series champion Marcos Ambrose in the Great Race. Seven Network claimed Pye became the first driver to crack the 300kph barrier on the mountain, hitting a top of 304kph.

Focus on the shield Real B

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

M

id Canterbury coach Grant Keenan insisted his players are no longer mulling over last weekend’s loss to Horowhenua Kapiti, with the defence of the Hanan Shield the main focus today, not other Heartland results.

The Hammers are currently second on the Heartland Championship ladder, one point behind South Canterbury and a point ahead of Wanganui.

In the unlikely case that Keenan’s side fail to pick up any points against the North Otago in Oamaru today, and Wanganui down Wairarapa Bush in Masterton, the Hammers will fall to third spot and play their Meads Cup semi-final from away from home next Saturday.

Mid Canterbury won the shield with a 34-27 win over South Canterbury in 2013, and Keenan is confident his players are fully motivated to defend the coveted prize for a fifth time.

“The Hanan Shield is what’s motivating us and it’s equally important for North Otago.

“They’re a proud union like us, and the shield also brings the best out of the players,” he said.

“We’ve tried to wipe Horowhenua out of our minds and just focus on ourselves, we squandered 27 points last week so our focus is on us.”

Heartland Championship week eighth fixtures: Poverty Bay v South Canterbury, Thames Valley v West Coast, Wairarapa Bush v Wanganui, Horowhenua Kapiti v Buller, King Country v East Coast.

Mid Canterbury: Mark Andrew, Jackson Donlan, Tama Tuirirangi, Eric Duff, Adaam Ross, Scott Vessey, Jon Dampney, Tevita Ula, Will Mackenzie, Murray Williams, Seta Koroitamana, Nete Caucau, Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa, Ashton Tuck, Andrew Letham.

Anscombe ready for high-stakes r

BY JOE BARTON

W Israel Folau

ales fullback Gareth Anscombe has only faced off against Israel Folau on two occasions at Super Rugby level, but one thing about the Wallabies and Waratahs star sticks out in his memory.

“He climbed all over me on the high balls a few times,” the 24-year-old Anscombe recalled on Thursday.

The two-time John Eales medal winner was the victor on both occasions, with Anscombe coming off the bench for the

Chiefs in two defeats to the Waratahs in 2013 and 2014 as Folau crossed for tries in both matches.

But Anscombe’s main memories come from a narrow 25-20 loss at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, when Anscombe was thrown into the action after just 18 minutes following an injury to Chiefs fullback Andrew Horrell.

He held his own and scored a try as part of a 15-point haul - but former NRL and AFL star Folau had the last laugh as his first-half five-pointer proved decisive in the tight victory.

The pair will match-up again after Folau passed a fitness test on his rolled ankle on Thursday and the New Zealand-born Anscombe was named for his first start for Wales - joining the squad when backline duo Hallam Amos and Scott Williams were ruled out of the tournament with injuries suffered against England.

A three-year Super Rugby stint has prepared the Auckland-born Anscombe, who qualifies due to a Cardiff-born mother, for what to expect from the Wallabies.

Zinny slates England

Coach: Warren Gatland Captain: Sam Warburton Previous World Cups as Head Coach: 1 Other Experience at World Cups: None Captain Experience: 41 Tests

All Blacks great Zinzan Brooke believes England isn’t in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals because the side crumbles under pressure.

The hosts crashed out of the tournament following a defeat to Australia at Twickenham. “It is in the last quarter of games that we discover the most about a team’s character and fortitude, specifically in their ability to shut the door on the opposition. England utterly failed to do that against Wales before Australia slammed it on their faces a week later,” Brooke wrote.

agree that it is right.

And it’s here were some teams appear better set up than others.

It follows that the more experience a coach has of test football generally and World Cup specifically, the better able they are to understand the unique elements of knock-out football.

It also follows that the more experience a coach and captain have had working together, the deeper their understanding of one another will be.

The All Blacks have things particularly well set up in this regard.

In McCaw they have the most experienced captain at the tournament and the most experienced the world has ever known.

He’s captaining the side for the third time at a World Cup and in one guise or another Steve Hansen has been with him at the last three.

Like McCaw, this is Hansen’s fourth World Cup - he of course having been head coach of Wales in 2003.

He’s made mistakes at each tournament and learned from them and while he doesn’t have all the answers, he does at least have a good handle on what awaits in the next period.

There is trust and confidence in the McCaw-Hansen relationship and unity of thinking and purpose.

Wales and South Africa also have a strong coach-captain axis.

Sam Warburton has been at the helm since 2011 and not only did Warren Gatland appoint him captain of Wales, but also the British Lions in 2013.

The Springboks are in the unusual position of having lost Jean de Villiers, who has been captain since 2012. Once he was ruled out, there was always a strong chance coach Heyneke Meyer would look to veteran lock Victor Matfield.

Those two go way back - having worked together at the Bulls and they seem to share a rugby philosophy and a common belief as to how South Africa should play, and since they lost to Japan the Boks have been excellent .

The French have the second longestserving captain in Thierry Dusautoir but reports are mixed out of France as to how he gets on with coach Philippe St-Andre. The French have been unusually - even for them - erratic under St Andre with no distinguishable style or consistency of selection.

The newest combination of all is at the Wallabies, where Michael Cheika was only appointed coach in October last year and Stephen Moore as captain this year.

So far Chieka has been superb, saying all the right things and picking all the right players. But neither he nor he and Moore together have been put under the sort of pressure yet that they will

“Aussie sides are very smart in terms of how they play tactically, and they don’t miss a beat.

“They like to use the ball, and they have looked pretty sharp. We will have to be on our toes defensively to not give them too many opportunities.

“It’s a big game for this team. We want to finish top of the pool and stamp our authority.

“The team is confident and it’s a huge occasion on the weekend.”

Anscombe isn’t the only threat in a

Welsh backline teeming with talent - led by five-eighth Dan Biggar and a powerful midfield combination of Jamie Roberts and George North.

North has been moved in from the wing to outside centre where Wales hope the hard-running powerhouse will be closer to the action where he can wreak more havoc.

“I am just happy to be on the park,” said North.

“As a wing, there is a bit more freedom to roam.

“At 13 it is a bit more structured, but you get a bit more ball in hand.”

Wales ‘on notice’ The wild man of the Wallabies’ pack has put Wales on notice ahead of their Rugby World Cup showdown, saying he’s not just warming the seat for Michael Hooper’s return. Hooper will miss the decisive clash after copping a suspension for foul play. But his absence presents an exciting opportunity for rising star 21-year-old Sean McMahon. And the Rebels’ star insists he’s no shrinking violet and won’t be wasting his chance on the big stage. “I’m going to do what I always do, take it with both hands and get out there and do whatever I can for the team,” says McMahon.

Skipper banned Romania captain Mihai Macovei was suspended for two weeks for a dangerous tackle in the 17-15 win against Canada.

The ruling means Macovei will miss the Oaks’ last Pool D match on Monday against Italy. His absence is a blow to Romania, which has a chance to finish third in the pool and qualify directly for the 2019 World Cup, if it beats Italy. Macovei’s two tries and driving runs from the back of the scrum helped Romania overturn a 15-0 deficit against Canada.

The inaugural Rakaia Salmon Run is set to kick off this morning with more than 100 athletes expected to compete.

The multisport event is the brainchild of Rakaia Lions member Alistair Sutherland, and will be staged by the Lions in conjunction with the Rakaia sports clubs.

Sutherland said all proceeds would be directed to the community’s proposed new sports centre.

Registration starts at 8am in the Rakaia domain and the competitions begin at 10am.

Competitors from as far afield as Queenstown and Blenheim are expect-

ed, including some big names in the multisport discipline.

The Salmon Run offers a range of competitions – multi-sport events, with biking, running and kayaking components, duathalons with long and short course options and women’s bike races.

Mr Sutherland said the programme was developed to provide options for everyone.

The course will take in farmland and the Rakaia walkway, as well as the river and roads.

Big Al will MC the event which promises to be a great day out with entertainment and food stalls in the domain.

Aussies stealing the Rugby World Cup thunder

T

ypical Aussies.

They’re supposed to be sitting quietly at home with their eskies, watching all the sporting drama from the other side of the world as the Rugby World Cup unfolds, with their team looking to be very serious contenders.

But no, not happy with missing the limelight, they have to go and produce the Game of the Century (perhaps ever??) in the rival oval ball code, as the Cowboys got up in overtime to upset Supercoach Wayne Bennett’s fairytale return to the Broncos.

It was an occasion on which the rugby league gods had an absolute field day, providing the very best in sporting theatre.

For a start they teased both groups of fans with periods of dominance for their teams, while keeping the score within a couple of points of each other, but then they got serious.

They let the Broncos believe they had it in the bag; 80 minutes up, Johnathan Thurston has the ball but its the last tackle, and anyway he’s surrounded

by five Broncs all in tantalising touching/tackling distance - it should have been game over.

But, proving as he had all game, and all season, that he’s right up there with any of the Immortals, JT borrowed some sevens skills to dance back, back and back in order to find someone, anyone to keep the movement going.

Two inspired passes later Kyle Feldt was across the chalk right in the corner to draw the contest in the 81st minute, and it was down to Thurston to ice the cake.

Of course the gods were having too much fun for it to finish there, and they shifted the right-hand upright just as the kick was delivered, sending the Grand Final into golden point for the first time ever.

How could it get any more intense?

Get Broncos superstar Ben Hunt to fumble the kickoff, giving the Cowboys a gilt-edged opportunity to finish it right there.

Rules hurt US team Confusion and controversy struck the Presidents Cup on Friday when Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson lost the seventh hole “twice” after being penalised in a baffling rules infringement. The US pair stood on the seventh tee all square in their four-ball match against Adam Scott and Jason Day. But by the time they walked off the green they were two holes down - something that would seem impossible in match play golf. It turned out Mickelson had breached a rule which states you must play the entire round with the same brand and model of ball. - AFP

Both Ryan Nelsen and Winston Reid received nods when Allardyce revealed to premierleague.com his best XI of players he had managed from 437 matches.

■ CAULFIELD

Tactics change for Puccini Matamata trainer Peter McKay is banking on a change of tactics and a change of gear to spark dual Group One winner Puccini back into form in today’s Gr.1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield.

McKay, who trains the Encosta de Lago four-year-old stallion in partnership with his son Jacob, has resigned a last-start failure at Caulfield to experience and is hoping a couple of points he has taken from that run can help bring about a much-improved run this weekend.

“We just have to put it down to a bad day out.

accounting for a coveted barrier three draw.

“I don’t care if there’s not another horse behind him,” McKay said. “We’ll track other horses earlier and then ride for luck. If he runs the first half of his race off the steel, relaxing, he usually has a good finish on him.

“When he won the Thorndon Mile he raced that way and if he produced that run on Saturday, he could be winning this.”

Closer to home, the McKays will look to continue the good success that began this week with a Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas win with Amarula when they produce Jimmy Hoffa and Clarify on their home track on Matamata Cup day.

■ RUGBY

In brief

Knockout phase looms

By Grant nisBet With their quarterfinal match against either France or Ireland just over a week away, the All Blacks need a big effort against Tonga at St James’ Park this morning to convince themselves and their fans that they are ready for the knock out phase of the World Cup. For whatever reason, and many have been given, they haven’t yet hit their straps and so the Tongan game is a golden opportunity to eradicate the sloppy performances that have plagued them so far and to put together 80 minutes that doesn’t consist of poor judgement and execution.

Tonga and the All Blacks have played each other four times, three of those at Rugby World Cups, and the All Blacks have comfortably won all four but in the process the Islanders physical and confrontational style has been difficult to combat as the French discovered in New

Zealand four years ago.

Australia has beaten Wales in their last 10 matches, and there’s little reason to think that the sequence will be broken at Twickenham tomorrow morning.

The Wallabies have surprised many north of the equator at this tournament, but New Zealand fans have had plenty of warning after the loss in the opening Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney.

Michael Cheika has worked wonders with this squad and although Michael Hooper will sit this one out with suspension, they should be able to get over the top of a Welsh team that is playing with plenty of heart and plenty of injuries.

Obviously there is plenty at stake in this game with the winner topping the pool and at the neutral venue of Twickenham the Australians will have good deal more support than they normally would in Cardiff.

Speaking of Cardiff, the Millennium Stadium is the venue for the other big match of the

September 19 - November 1

Australian coach Michael Cheika.

weekend, France against Ireland.

The ramifications here are immense - the winner avoids the All Blacks in the quarters while

the loser can look forward to a meeting with the world champions at the same venue.

There has been a lot of talk from a lot of teams at this tournament about not showing your hand too early and Ireland most certainly has not thrown all the cards on the table too early.

Their form has been patchy and the narrow win last week against Italy was an average effort against a side that, admittedly, is also difficult to break down.

The French have Rugby World Cup history in spades, and any form book which relates to French rugby can usually be discarded, particularly at this tournament.

It would be romantic for the All Blacks to face the French in the quarterfinals and try and exact revenge after the 2007 debacle, but secretly I think they’d rather play Ireland in Cardiff next week with the knowledge that Ireland has never been able to topple them.

- NZME

2015

Whips are cracking The All Blacks are training as hard as they have under coach Steve Hansen to attempt to prevent a recurrence of their nightmare quarterfinal defeat in 2007. Hansen revealed that one of their lessons from the defeat in Cardiff was that they didn’t work hard enough off the field. Eight years ago, they led France 13-3 at halftime only to capitulate 20-18. “I don’t think we worked hard enough during those weeks. The last two weeks, we’ve had eightday turnarounds, so that’s allowed us to train harder. So, physically, we’ll be ready, I’ve no doubt about that.” - NZME

Wales lie in wait “Desperate” Wales have vowed to use lessons from past pain to bury their Wallabies hoodoo in tomorrow’s high stakes shootout for the Pool A top spot. Their 10-game losing streak against Australia looks horrendous but coach Warren Gatland takes much comfort from the fact that the matches were invariably close, with just one double-digit winning margin.

“We’ve been ahead off. You learn from that, and were brilliant in the last 15 minutes against England, coming from behind and showing maturity to close that game down.”

It is not known if Kim himself will speak publicly at any of the day’s events, though he did give reporters a surprise, close-up photo opportunity two years ago when the country held a similarly elaborate celebration for the 60th anniversary of the armistice that ended

the 1950-53 Korean War. To make sure everyone taking part in the spectacle knows their part, students, work units and other groups have filled public plazas for weeks to hone their marching, flag-waving and slogan-shouting skills.

On Thursday, crowds of students waving red flags and women in brightly colored traditional clothing could be seen

in the area around the square.

North Korean flags lined the streets.

“We are very proud of the 70th anniversary of the foundation of our party, it’s an honor for us, and with this anniversary we will demonstrate our invincible single-hearted unity,” said Chang Yong-ho, a student who will be taking part.

US airman Spencer Stone, who helped tackle a gunman and thwarted a terror attack on a French train in August, has been stabbed in California. US news outlets reported that he was stabbed four times in the chest, and that he suffered a wound to the heart and the lung. Although, the US airman is in a stable condition and his injuries are non-life threatening, initial reports suggested that the attack was so violent that police began treating the case as a homicide when they arrived on the scene.

Blatter suspended Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini, the man who had been favored to take over as FIFA leader, were both suspended for 90 days yesterday, plunging football’s governing body deeper into crisis. Blatter and Platini were suspended by the FIFA ethics committee in the wake of a Swiss criminal investigation. The decision seemingly ends Platini’s bid to succeed Blatter as the FIFA president in the emergency election to be held in February.

Another FIFA presidential hopeful, Chung Mong-joon, was suspended for six years in a separate case, and FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke was banned for 90 days.

In brief

Anniversary parade ‘massive’ Satellite imagery shows North Korea has erected a tented city and mobilised hundreds of trucks and armoured vehicles in preparation for a massive military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the ruling party.

The US-Korea Institute said military units, which began mobilising in May, have been practicing at a mock-up of the venue for Saturday’s parade and mass rally.

The institute’s website 38 North said photos taken on Tuesday show about 800 tents, and more than 600 trucks and 200 armoured vehicles at a former air base in the east of Pyongyang.

The likely centerpiece of the parade, ballistic missile launchers, cannot be seen yet, but seven drones are visible on mobile launchers.

The parade is expected to be North Korea’s biggest spectacle since Kim Jong-un took power in 2011.

Though officials have not publicly announced the schedule of events, the day is expected to kick off with a major military parade and mass rally on Kim Il-sung Square in the morning and climax with another mass gathering for a torchlight parade and concert to be held on a special stage

Pacific nation of Nauru to Cambodia.

But so far, only four refugees have taken up the offer of cash, free health insurance and accommodation to move from Nauru to the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.

That has prompted critics to

dub the deal an expensive flop and sent the government looking for another solution.

Australia refuses to accept any refugees who attempt to reach its shores by boat.

It pays Nauru and Papua New Guinea, which has a detention center on Manus Is-

On Friday, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton confirmed that the government has been in talks with several countries, including the Philippines, about possibly resettling its refugees in those na- NZME tions.

■ CRAFTY BUSINESS

128 Victoria is haven for hobbyists

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

A lifetime of crafting and a passion for collecting has led to a new business in Ashburton.

Kerry and Nicky Horrell’s aptly named 128 Victoria houses a treasure trove of collectibles, an extensive range of craft and modelling supplies, funky giftware, inspiring artwork and almost everything in between.

Nicky has been crafting and renovating furniture for years and the couple’s home was overflowing.

“My house was full up with works, I gave some of it away but we really needed to find a solution,” she said.

Kerry is a self-confessed collector of “almost anything”.

He has been an avid collector of model railways since receiving his first Hornby train set as a child. His stamp collection started around the same time.

Aside from the toys, the couple also have a collection of vintage and classic cars and old tractors.

Daughter Ashleigh has also found an outlet for her artwork.

The talented young artist completed her training at CPIT last year.

Nicky’s mother Val Farr is also in on the act, knitting for the new business.

As well as the handcrafts, renovated furniture and collectibles, 128 Victoria also carries a wide range of hobby supplies for both adults and children.

Both Kerry and Nicky saw an opening for a hobby shop in Ashburton and have sought out well known brands – such as Martha Stewart vintage chalk

Kerry and Nicky Horrell saw a gap in the market for a hobby and craft shop.

paints, and Mod Podge by Plaid for découpage exponents.

Whether your passion is felting, cross stitch, building models or turning grungy old furniture into works of art, you will likely find what you need at 128 Victoria.

“There hasn’t been a serious attempt at operating a hobby shop in Ashburton for a while,” Kerry said.

“We think the demand is there.”

Business networking requires a strategy U

nfortunately business networking is one of those things we all know we need to do, but never get around to because we’re too busy doing other things.

However, done well, business networking can be an effective tool for developing new business, sales and referrals.

It is a source of knowledge, opportunities, potential business partnerships, future hires and can help you improve within your current position.

Business networking is not only reaching out to new people but involves leveraging your personal and business.

It isn’t simply turning up to networking events, shaking hands and exchanging a bunch of cards. This approach is largely a waste of time as very

Matt Hannah

BUSINESS MATTERS

little is gained for the energy required.

At best, a staged networking event is a starting point to a new professional relationship and how you follow-up is the key to developing it.

Proper business networking is far more complex.

Put simply, effective business networking is not about making connections - it’s about connecting with people.

If you are serious about using networking to benefit your

business, you need a clear focus and strategy.

A well-designed networking programme involves creating discipline around the process of growing productive, mutually beneficial partnering relationships with key targets.

This kind of personal communication fosters the ability to make connections which are the glue that makes businesses strong.

Don’t apply all your effort with new relationships. Significant benefit can be gained from strengthening your connections within your existing client base.

When networking it is important to be genuine and authentic, building trust and also finding out how you can help others. No matter how you meet someone, try to give

before you take.

Be honest about what you are hoping to get out of a conversation or meeting, no matter whom you’re talking to.

Everyone is busy and wants to have conversations that matter.

Try to have some control around who you meet to ensure you’re aligning your networking with your business objectives.

You must take a proactive approach. A good start is to regularly plan something specific each week that will help develop a connection that has a direct benefit to your business.

Don’t be shy about emailing someone for a meeting. Make sure you write a succinct message and politely ask what you are looking for.

You will meet a large number of people in your working life but only a few will help benefit your business. Consider natural ways to meet targets that are outside of your bubble such as sports clubs or volunteer organisations.

Follow up quickly and efficiently when you meet someone new or are given a referral.

Although there are some basic principles to follow when developing your strategy, every business is unique.

Think about getting advice about how to set up a strategic partnership programme that will work for your business.

■ NZ CUP AND SHOW WEEK

Accommodation concerns for ChCh As New Zealand Cup and Show Week approaches, Christchurch is preparing for an influx of tourists.

But Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism chief executive Tim Hunter is concerned there is still a lack of accommodation.

After the earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, the number of hotels in the city centre dropped from 39 to eight.

There are 24 now in operation, but Hunter said this might not be enough for the peak tourism months.

“In terms of rooms, we’re still 31 per cent behind where we were in 2010 which is a limiting factor, not all of the time but in our key tourism months of February and March.

“Tourism to New Zealand is really strong right now, particularly out of Asia with these new air services from China, but that is going to put us under pressure,” he said.

“We’ve certainly got enough

hotels in the provinces but in the peak months we won’t have enough hotel rooms in the city.”

He said that while this had helped push tourism out into the provinces, increasing visitor night numbers in areas such as Kaikoura, Hanmer, Methven and Twizel, central Canterbury should be pushing on with its anchor projects including the planned convention centre, needed after the original centre collapsed during the earthquakes.

Mr Hunter said having a convention centre in the city brought in about $50 million worth of business a year, as well as filling up the city’s hotels in the winter months during conference season.

He said at least six large investment organisations were planning to build hotels around the city centre as soon as work on building the convention centre started.

Despite concern over hotel

Lack of accommodation in Christchurch’s city centre is a concern leading up to Cup and Show Week.

room numbers, Hunter said visitors to the city were using other means of accommodation.

“When we did the summer survey last year we found that 40 per cent of international vis-

itors were not staying in commercial accommodation, they were staying in friends rooms or through Airbnb or B&Bs. So those other forms of accommodation and social media have been really quite good.”

Off a lower base, Christchurch’s tourism has been growing steadily, with international guest nights in Christchurch up 13 per cent last summer compared with overall guest nights in New Zealand which grew by just 6 per cent in the same period.

Christchurch’s visitor centre business grew 20 per cent last year, and Hunter said numbers were already strong for the coming year, indicating the region was in for a good summer in terms of tourism.

He said the city was about a year away from having enough of the central city rebuilt to see a step change, but things were heading in the right direction.

10/10 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

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

www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There’s a time to extend your arms and a time to retract them, hugging your own soul. This is your pulling-back time. Go where you feel surrounded by comfort and safety.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): As usual, the healthiest thing is not the easiest thing. However, doing the healthy thing enough makes it an automatic choice — part of who you are. It’s hardest the first 20 times.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There are people in your life who are best loved from a distance. When they are in your daily life, you’ll find yourself constantly enforcing boundaries. It’s not fun.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s a lot you could accomplish with a little more self-control. Willpower takes more energy than you think. The way to get more of it is to figure out what’s draining your energy and plug that drain.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Time seems to be getting away from you. Get organised. Clean up. Make lists.

Declutter your life, and suddenly your relationship with time will seem more amicable.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re used to a certain amount of social risk, but things are to get more intense. Whether this is about being more vulnerable to one person or to many, you’ve got the courage.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Intuition is vying for your attention in the form of a voice in your head — or not a voice exactly, but more like the idea that comes before you speak. Nothing bad will happen if you don’t act immediately, but take note.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You elevate simple matters to the level of an art form. Others who don’t take it quite so far will be impressed and inspired once they get past being jealous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The formerly blurred lines between friendship, family, love, business and other social matters are now coming into sharp focus. Everyone knows what the bottom line is and where the power lies.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The exertion you think will make you tired actually makes you stronger, calmer and happier. So get into the mess that has you sweating. If you’re angry, bonus: You’ll work harder.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your instinct lines up with another person’s logic — brilliant. This might not work in the other direction, but worry about that later. For now, go forward with shared plans.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): In the early stages of a relationship, everything seems significant.

Precedence is set. You know everything that happens means something, even when you’re not sure what exactly.
