Accused opt for trial in Gairns case The four accused of manslaughter in relation to the death of AJ Gairns in Ashburton in May have elected to go to trial.

Desmond Kapi Marshall, 46, Verdun Ashley Perry, 24 and Kooly Managki Te Tomo, 26, all of Ashburton, and Olivia Toby Frances Lucas, 26, formerly from Ashburton, appeared before Justice David Gendall in the High Court in Christchurch yesterday.

All denied the manslaughter charges before them.

Two of the accused attended the sitting, while the other two appeared by video link from Timaru.

The case may be set for trial in the High Court in Timaru in June next year.

A case review hearing was set down for November 11.

Marshall admitted a charge of assaulting Mr Gairns with intent to rob him in June, and was remanded in custody.

At the same sitting of the Timaru District Court, Lucas, Perry and Te

Tomo were remanded at large without plea.

On August 19 manslaughter charges were laid against all four accused. They appeared in the Timaru District Court again on August 21 to face the fresh charges, to which no pleas were entered.

During that sitting, Judge Joanna Maze granted an application by the defence to transfer the charges of assault with intent to rob to the High Court, and to amend the charge so it was recorded as an alternative to the manslaughter charge.

In effect, this means if the court is able to prove the manslaughter charge, the Crown will withdraw the lesser charges against Lucas, Perry and Te Tomo.

However, Marshall will be sentenced on both the manslaughter and the assault charges, should the matters be proved by the High Court.

Mr Gairns was found dead in a drainage runoff area in Ashburton on June 1. Police allege he died in the early hours of May 29.

Denzel wants to play James Bond Hollywood actor Denzel Washington has launched a public campaign to install himself as the next James Bond.

Washington hopes to replace Daniel Craig and become the first black actor to play 007, and he has asked devotees to bombard producers with messages via Twitter. During a web chat on Reddit. com, Washington was asked about his Bond ambitions, and he urged fans to get the campaign under way. “The next James Bond? They better hurry up! Yes I would (love to do it)! Who’s doing James Bond now ... Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one? Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio!

Arnie makes rare return to politics The Governator is back. Arnold Schwarzenegger has returned to Sacramento for two high-profile public events to discuss California’s fight against climate change and unveil his official portrait. Both events are expected to highlight more positive aspects of his two terms as California governor.

Schwarzenegger, who has returned to acting since leaving the governor’s office in 2011, has made few political appearances.

While in office, the former governor frequently promoted California’s landmark 2006 global-warming law, called AB32, which paved the way for the state’s cap-and-trade system for controlling greenhouse-gas emissions by the worst polluters.

Punters in 1916 also bemoaned errors in the racing fields.

Grande walks out on photographers Ariana Grande may just have put Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj to shame in the diva demands department. The 21-year-old pop star walked out on the first photographer in Sydney on Monday - and cancelled all her remaining photo shoots - because she wasn’t happy with how she looked on camera. It isn’t clear whether or not the photographer had breached any demands from the extensive list Grande’s reps had issued, notably to “only to shoot the left side” of her face, and not to use “natural light”. The reporters who’d been left waiting for an hour to interview her had also been handed a no-go list of questioning which included her love life, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber. Needless to say the focus was taken off Grande’s album, My Everything, which she was supposed to be promoting. Grande is the newest and one of the youngest - celebrities to jump aboard the diva bandwagon.

Sick Cher postpones shows Cher has postponed by several days a new leg of concerts across North America after doctors ordered the veteran entertainer to rest in bed. The 68-year-old singer and actress - who back in 2002 announced a “farewell tour” but kept on performing - had added 14 more shows to her latest tour after two months on the road ending in mid-July.

But Cher has postponed the first dates due tomorrow, her publicist said. Both dates have been rescheduled for October. Cher was diagnosed “with what doctors termed an ‘acute viral infection’ and is required to be on full bed rest for several days”, a statement said. The former half of Sonny and Cher will instead open her latest leg on September 15, keeping two dates the following weekend in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

■ MYSTERY ILLNESS

Dairy cows deaths investigated

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

A mystery illness associated with swede crops is killing dairy cattle, a Guardian investigation has revealed.

So far the problem has only been reported in Southland and South Otago, but experts fear it could be more widespread.

Yesterday DairyNZ manager of engagement and extension Craig McBeth said it was possible it was occurring in Canterbury, and even in the North

Island to a lesser extent.

“We want to hear from anybody who has evidence that it might be more widespread,” he said.

“The trouble with these things is that unless you get several instances, you don’t make the linkages.”

He confirmed an investigation was instigated midway through last week, after DairyNZ staff became aware of reports of cows becoming ill, and dying while grazing on swede crops.

The yet-to-be identified fatal illness is only associated with swede crops, and post mortems have implicated severe liver and/or kidney damage as the cause of death.

Blood tests on affected stock have shown significantly elevated liver enzymes and compromised kidney function.

Symptoms include weight loss, down-cows that don’t respond, photosensitivity, reddening of the udder and skin damage, apparent on white areas.

Farmers with concerns should contact their vet.

At this point scientists haven’t narrowed the problem down to a particular variety of swede.

“It’s very difficult to read too much into it at this stage – there appears to have been cases with cattle of different varieties of swede succumbing to the symptoms and cattle on the same varieties not succumbing to it.

“It’s a conundrum really – there is no consistency at this point.

“There are different amounts of swede varieties planted throughout Southland, which can influence the incidence of a problem – whether it’s related to one variety or not, we just don’t know yet.

“We are working to find out those answers.”

Reports indicate the clinical signs have reduced once the animals were taken off the crop.

See the rural pages in tomorrow’s Guardian for more information.

■ ELECTION 2014

Early voters keep polling booths busy Election day is not until September 20, but people can vote earlier if they need to.

Advanced voting places have opened up around the country, and in Mid Canterbury there are advanced voting booths in Ashburton and Methven.

Ashburton’s booth is at the Sinclair Centre on Park Street. It opened last week and is running 10am to 4pm on weekdays this week, 10am to 3pm on Saturday, 10am to 5pm on Monday and Tuesday next week, and 10am to 6pm on Wednesday, 10am to 8pm on Thursday, and 10am to 5pm on Friday.

Methven’s booth is at the Methven Heritage Centre, and is open 10am to 2pm tomorrow, and 10am to 4pm on Thursday and Friday next week.

Chief electoral officer Robert Peden said voting in advance made it easier for Kiwis who were unable to get to a polling booth on election day.

People on holiday, working or in hospital could find it difficult to schedule voting on the Saturday.

Peter Doughty of Ashburton casts his 2014 General Election vote at the town’s advanced voting place yesterday.

■ WINZ TRAGEDY

Winz clients face 70km trip for help

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton Work and Income clients must travel 70km to Hornby if they want to meet their case workers, as the Ashburton office remains closed after the September 1 shootings.

Staff members Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland were shot dead while a third, Lindy Curtis, was seriously injured. The office has been closed since.

Clients who wish to meet face to face with case workers have been told to phone the Hornby office and to drive about 70km

for their appointment.

Work and Income deputy chief executive Debbie Power said a temporary alternative site for Ashburton Community Link was being sought, and the organisation was considering what could be done to make sure it could still provide a service and get help to those who needed it.

Anyone needing urgent assistance could receive help by phone, but if people needed to meet with a Winz staff member they would have to drive to the city, she said.

“Finding temporary accom-

modation is under way as a matter of urgency and when we’re in a position to provide the community with an update we will.

We understand how important it is to keep people informed which is why we’ve sent letters to Ashburton clients,” she said.

The Children, Young Persons and their Family service would also be accommodated on the new site.

Letters were sent to Work and Income and Seniors clients in Ashburton yesterday letting them know how they could access services.

“Our current priority is making sure our staff and clients are safe, and we will continue to make sure the Ashburton community is updated,” Ms Power said.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay is putting his weight behind the drive to ensure Winz clients are able to access services in Ashburton, albeit in a temporary home.

“I believe Winz is working very hard to get a place as quickly as possible. This is important, but it’s their call and their timing. The situation’s been raised

and they’re more than aware of it.”

Mr McKay said both minister of social development Paula Bennett and department chief executive Brendon Boyle had assured him the matter was being treated with urgency.

People needing access to Winz services can do so by calling 0800 559 009 and following the prompts.

Other help lines are 0508 326 459 for Child, Youth and Family, 0800 552 002 for Senior Services and 0800 88 99 00 for StudyLink.

Police search river for more evidence

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The search for evidence linked to the shooting of three women at the Ashburton Winz office has taken to the water.

A team of police divers from Wellington spent much of yesterday searching the bed of the Ashburton River.

They continued to look for other items, including another firearm and ammunition thought linked to the case, as the town planned a civic service.

Tomorrow, the district can show its support for the families and co-workers of the victims of last Monday’s shootings at a civic service on East Street.

Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland lost their lives when a gunman entered the Ashburton Winz building and fired several rounds from a shotgun. Their fellow worker Lindy Curtis was injured.

Mayor Angus McKay and the Ashburton Ministers’ Association have worked to provide a chance for the community to show their support for the victims and their families.

The civic service was also important for the community as it moved through the grieving process, Mr McKay said.

“It’s my wish that we are able to move on and to become once again the safe, caring place Ashburton is known as throughout New Zealand,” he said.

The service is on East Street, opposite the Ashburton town clock, at 12.15pm.

Music will be provided by well-known Ashburton singer Liam Kennedy-Clark.

Speakers will include social development minister Paula Bennett, ministry chief executive Brendon Boyle, Mr McKay and representatives of the Ashburton Ministers’ Association.

The Phoenix Chorus and a

Prayer for peace – a special service was held at the Holy Name Church in Ashburton last night to remember the victims of last week’s Ashburton Winz shooting. More than 80 people attended, many bringing clutches of spring flowers. They were also given daffodils at the door.

■ WINDSTORM ANNIVERSARY

In brief Knitters tally up Mid Canterbury volunteer knitters for Missions Without Borders, Operation Cover Up, sent three bales of hand knitted items and two boxes of hygiene supplies to orphans in Eastern Europe. The final tally of hand knitted items included 147 blankets, 462 hats, 167 scarves, 88 slippers/socks, 40 pairs mittens/gloves, 115 jerseys and 102 baby wear items.

A male was arrested shortly before midnight on Monday for breach of bail in Ashburton.

One year ago, Rose and Noel Ashton were looking at a front yard littered with fallen trees. Their road access was blocked by fallen power lines and the couple in their mid 70s were looking at a massive clean up job.

Windstorm pain continues

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

As well as counting the cost of last September’s windstorm in lost trees, destroyed fences and a ruined garden, Noel Ashton counts the cost in a wrecked body.

Today fallen trees from the Ashburton District Council plantation still lie across his property, his front gate remains unfixed and his partially destroyed shed is still just that.

“One year down the track I’m still looking at an awful mess,” he said.

And he’s looking at a body that was

so badly damaged in a fall during wind damage clean up that he’s considering selling his rural property and heading to town.

During the storm a tree fell across one of his sheds. The shed stayed standing – just, but his precious caravan was trapped inside.

He might have been in his mid 70s but Mr Ashton was fit and prepared to fix the shed and rescue his caravan.

He climbed on the roof, threw down five of the six sheets of iron from the damaged roof, but struggled to shift the sixth. “I stood up on a fallen tree, pushed

and pulled to see what would happen and then went over backwards and fell on a stump.”

The result was a three-quarter fracture of a vertebrae, four months of doing nothing but sitting still, and ongoing pain.

He hurt his back again installing a set of drawers.

Hundreds of dollars and hundreds of pain pills later, Mr Ashton says he’s reached a point where he’s considering selling up.

“I can’t help (wife) Rose around here and the pain won’t go away,” he said.

Irrigators learn hard lessons in rebuild Lessons were learned in the windstorm which struck the district a year ago, the irrigation industry says.

Wind gusts reaching 140km an hour wreaked havoc in rural areas, tearing down fences and farm buildings and whipping topsoil from worked paddocks.

However, with the irrigation season set to get under way, it was the damage to more than 800 irrigators, many within Mid Canterbury, which caused immediate concern.

Irrigation New Zealand said the damage unprecedented.

The irrigation industry worked with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fasttrack access for experienced overseas crews to assist with rebuilding and repairing the irrigation infrastructure.

The massive windstorm that hit the Ashburton District one year ago today cost the Ashburton District Council 20 per cent of its forestry plantations, and the clean up is still under way.

It said that was the second-longest dry spell for both the Hokitika and Westport airports since their records started in 1963 and 1944 respectively.

Westport recorded 123mm of rainfall in August, just 64 per cent of the town’s normal rainfall for the month. The town’s average rainfall for September is 148mm. However, the MetService is forecasting showers, rain or drizzle for Westport every day for the next 10 days.

ticipated returns, a surge in the log market at that time meant some solid prices were achieved, he said.

The council was fortunate in that a lot of the trees that were felled by the wind were older trees that were salvageable, Mr O’Neill said.

The most significant cost around the wind damage was not in the loss of income from logs, but in the premium price that had to be paid to bring experienced loggers into the district to cope with the huge clearing workload, he said.

With the forestry blocks cleared, the council has undertaken only a small amount of replanting.

“I’m keen to have some decisions made on the future of this land as quickly as possible, but the big issues are Ecan’s nitrogen limits and the nature of the individual plantations, some are smaller, scattered and in difficult places to access.”

The council owns around 2000 hectares of forestry land with about 1500 of this currently in trees.

An ultra race is longer than a traditional marathon length of 42km. As if the race itself was not enough of a challenge, Dr Tarry expected he could get a mix of warm weather, thunderstorms and blizzards along the route.

But he said it was “particularly muddy and wet for the first six hours” but after that the skies cleared and conditions were good. He went through two pairs of sneakers; one fell apart.

During the race, Dr Tarry chose not to stop for short sleep breaks and only allowed himself food breaks along the way. He just kept going.

Ashburton doctor Mick Tarry is rested and back at work after completing the recent Ultra Tour de Mont Blanc running event in France. Dr Tarry ran the 168km race in 41 hours, 37 minutes and 56 seconds.

It was his longest ever race and he was aiming for a finish within 38 hours.

“I did alright, I ended up 844th out of 2300 odd, so I was in the top third,” he said.

Dr Tarry was pleased to have finished the race as it was one of his bucket list events.

The Ultra Tour de Mont Blanc had a gruelling 9600m

At the end, he felt surprisingly good. “Actually, unexpectedly good. I’ve felt worse after other runs,” he said.

He believed walking at the end of the race for significant lengths of time helped to loosen up muscles.

After the race he got a holiday break with support crew – wife, Moira and son, Alasdair – before heading home.

He is now focused on training for the Kepler Challenge Mountain Run in New Zealand in December.

■ FIRE SERVICE

Farmers warned to check for bird nests

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Alan Burgess is reminding farmers to keep farm equipment serviced and free of bird nests.

The brigade has attended about four callouts to fires in tractors and excavators over

the past two months, including one on Monday to Maronan Road at 5.30pm.

Mr Burgess said the John Deere tractor involved in Monday’s incident had been destroyed in the blaze. It had just been driven and parked up by the farmer, when he noticed a substantial amount of smoke

coming from it and dialled 111.

“Because of the damage it’s hard to isolate that back to any specific cause,” Mr Burgess said.

There had been various causes of fires in farm equipment recently attended by the brigade. It served as a reminder to farmers to keep up with servic-

ing their farm machinery.

This is the time of year that birds built nests, so it was important farmers checked unused equipment for nests, as these were a fire hazard.

The brigade attended a second call out on Monday. It was to a false alarm at Bunnings on West Street.

Jetstar ramps up Gold Coast route Kiwis with relatives on the Gold Coast will be able to fly direct from Wellington and Queenstown on new services from Jetstar.

The airline launched its first international service from Wellington yesterday, announcing it will fly between Wellington and the Gold Coast three times a week.

The budget carrier will also become the only airline to fly between Queenstown and the Gold Coast three times a week.

Wellington Airport chief executive Steve Sanderson said around one in 10 Gold Coast residents were New Zealand born, which would put the flights in high demand.

“There will now be a cost-

effective, direct route not only for holidaymakers but for family members wanting to travel home and visit loved ones.”

To signal the announcement, Jetstar is offering special seatonly fares from $99 one way from Wellington and $129 one way from Queenstown until midnight tonight.

■ ROYAL BABY

Kiwis look forward to second playdate New Zealanders are passing on their warmest wishes to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, after it was announced they were expecting their second child.

Wellington parents David and Ingrid Alve, spent an afternoon chatting with the Duke and Duchess at Government House in Wellington earlier this year.

Their daughter, Eden, was one of 10 Plunket babies selected to join in on a royal playdate with Prince George.

“We are so very excited for them, they are such a lovely couple,” said Ms Alve.

She said the news was more exciting, because they had met the royal family.

“It’s strange, I guess you feel like you know them a wee bit more.”

Eden would love another playdate with Prince George and his new brother or sister if they were ever to visit again, Ms Alve said.

Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae expressed his delight at the news.

“Lady Janine and I very much enjoyed hosting the Duke and Duchess and Prince George at Government House earlier this year.

“We are very pleased to hear that George is to have a brother or sister. On behalf of all New Zealanders, we wish them well at this happy time.”

Waikato woman Cynthia Read, whose hand-crafted lace shawl was given to the couple as New Zealand’s official gift for Prince George’s birth, hoped they would keep it for their second child, saying she had no plans to make another.

“They’ll have to make do with a hand-me-down.”

During his visit to New Zealand, Prince William told her she might have to make another shawl, prompting the suggestion a sibling for George was on the cards.

She said at the time it was a throw-away comment.

Plunket New Zealand said it would gladly welcome another royal baby back for a playdate.

New Zealand president Tristine Clark said: “We wish them all the best for a safe and healthy pregnancy and would gladly welcome another royal baby back to New Zealand for a playdate. Congratulations to them all.”

Home on the move PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 090914-TM-019

A Christchurch red zone threebedroom home makes its way slowly through Ashburton, on West Street, yesterday.

The home was shifted for its new owner, a Temuka property developer, and left the garden

city for Temuka at 2am. Jackson’s Cranes and Heavy Haulage Limited had two pilot vehicles at the front and two at the back throughout the 13-hour plus journey, which paused at Dunsandel during a 6.30am to

9.30am traffic restriction period.

The Rakaia bridge closed while the home took about five minutes to cross, and the Ashburton and Rangitata bridges also had to temporarily close.

Spokesperson Matt Atkinson said most motorists had been patient.

“It’s been a mammoth effort on the team’s part,” Mr Atkinson said as the crew arrived on site about 3.30pm.

■ BOULEVARD DAY

Retailers set for annual street event Ashburton’s Boulevard Day is 38 years old and still going strong.

It might be an oldie but it’s proven every year to be a winner with both stall holders and shoppers and this year it returns to town on September 22 with a larger variety of stalls than ever, said organiser Carol John.

The event is run by the Ashburton Business Association but this year will be the association’s last year as organiser as it is disappearing to be reborn as a new organisation designed to meet the needs of all businesses across the district.

This year the 120 available sites were sold several weeks ago, and 70 will be manned by locals. The range of local businesses using Boulevard Day to take their wares to the public is high this year, Ms John said.

“We’ve got a big range of really interesting people and stalls, some really unique local business and that shows just how entrepreneurial locals are.”

For locals, Boulevard Day was something the community owned, both as shoppers and stall holders, she said.

East Street will be closed to traffic from about 8am and stalls will be set up on both sides of the road between Havelock and Moore streets.

“We’re hoping everyone will come down and browse around the stalls, they don’t have to buy. This is about supporting what has become one of our biggest community days out,” Ms John said.

■ METHVEN PRESCHOOL

Preschoolers’ green fingers pay dividends

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Methven Preschoolers eagerly threw sticks, pulled apart pea straw and moved soil yesterday to help form the base of their new four-metre long vegetable garden.

They were helped by Mastagard community educator Brent Holley who was on site to guide the preschoolers on putting in the best base for a healthy garden. Mr Holley visits preschools, schools and community groups to talk about recycling, sustainability and bio diversity.

Layering the garden was the final stage of a preschool project that had turned into a community affair after wood was donated

by Adams Sawmilling.

The raised boxing was put together by the children under the guidance of a team member from Bunnings Warehouse.

Mr Holley said the best compost garden base used a mixture of brown and green materials placed in multiple layers. The brown materials included pea straw, leaves or soil and contained carbon.

The green materials included grass clippings and manure and had the necessary nitrogen.

The right blend of carbon and nitrogen helps break down the materials and generate a healthy base.

Mr Holley said if compost gardens started to smell (ammonia), then more carbon needed to be added.

And if the compost was too dry, more water could be added.

He said if people were building a raised garden onto grass, they should put thick cardboard down first and could place manure down to get worms active.

Methven Preschool teacher

Tenille Clemett said the children had been learning how to take care of their environment and learning the process of gardening. They already had two worm farms, a Bokashi food scraps system and were keen gardeners.

They often got their hands

dirty and helped out with digging and growing vegetables or strawberries. The preschoolers grew most of the food for the preschool pet rabbit Smudge including carrots and silver beet.

However, the old garden, made of potato boxes, was fall-

Tough battle for yellow honours Mid Cantabrians’ generosity has raised more than $22,000 dollars for the Cancer Society during the annual Daffodil Day fundraising. The tally was up $3000 on last year.

The Cancer Society was pleased with the support given from people in the district with all the money raised in the area to stay in the district.

It would help fund support services and information for people affected by cancer, along with health promotion and education programmes to reduce cancer risk and raise awareness.

As part of Daffodil Day fundraisers, the Cancer Society also ran a Paint the Town Yellow promotion.

More than a dozen businesses entered the promotion and dressed up their business window displays in yellow in the run up to Daffodil Day. The winner was Flowers and Balloons of Ashburton, who narrowly beat second placed Resene Colorshop.

Health promoter Mandy Casey said deciding a winner in the window dressing promotion had proved tough.

And in the end the judges also highly commended Property Brokers, Red Cross Shop and Photo Shop for their displays.

ing apart and needed to be replaced.

Miss Clemett said the new garden gave them more room to grow additional produce.

They would likely start with sweet peas and the children would decide on other produce.

Mis-shaped sweets leave bad taste Inappropriately shaped lollies have been branded offensive and recalled from lower South Island shops.

Dunedin man Barrie Aburn said his daughters Cadence, 8, Rhianna, 6, and Payton, 5, bought a bag of Dragon Sweets from Moyles SuperValue in Green Island and gave it to him for his birthday.

His partner, Jacqui Hawkins, said she randomly took a sweet from the bag and the lolly was shaped in the form of male genitals.

Another lolly in the bag was a gummy baby with a penis, she said.

“I don’t find anything amusing about it at all. I find it disgusting,” she said.

Dutch Rusk managing director Willem Van de Geest, of Nelson, said the Stoke confectionery company imported 7200 bags of mixed gummy lollies, called Dragon Sweets, from a Chinese manufacturer about six weeks ago.

The lollies were distributed to shops in the lower South Island.

■ RUGBY STAR ASSAULTED

Guildford attacked by ‘ratbags’ in France The men who bashed and injured former Hawke’s Bay Magpie and All Black Zac Guildford are “ratbags”, says Hawke’s Bay club rugby manager Cyril Whitburn.

Guildford, 25, suffered a jaw injury when he and teammate Jonathan Davies were attacked in Clermont in France at the weekend while out getting a kebab.

He was taken to hospital and has been left with a badly bruised jaw.

Mr Whitburn said he was shocked to hear the news about their former club player.

“It’s very concerning because Zac has got his contract over there and then something like this happens ... I feel sorry for him because he wants to get on with his life and start fresh over there.”

Mr Whitburn said it was

something modern-day sports athletes had to be aware of.

“They’re just ratbags. I don’t know why they’d want to do that sort of thing.

“It’s just disappointing those people are out there. You feel sorry for people like Zac who can’t go anywhere, without

someone having a go at them,” he said.

Zac Guildford’s grandmother June Burt was shocked to hear he had been attacked in France but says her grandson is a different man after putting his troubles behind him.

“He was doing marvellous, it’s the best thing he’s ever done, he’s a man now, he’s a different guy - the way he speaks.”

“Last time he was talking to me he said ‘I’ve given up all that other stuff nan, I just love it here’,” she said.

Mrs Burt said she’d heard about similar things happening over there, including an incident where Guildford had been out with friends and had gone home early, and his friends got attacked.

Clermont’s sporting director Jean-Marc Lhermet said Guildford was an innocent party.

Police target match-fixers to keep NZ games clean A list of cricket match-fixers has been drawn up by police and anti-corruption investigators in a bid to stop them at the border before the World Cup next year.

And top players are being warned against getting caught in sexually comprising “honey traps” set by the betting underworld.

Visiting International Cricket Council officials last week told police that attempts at match-fixing would happen in New Zealand, and shared intelligence reports on those linked to the gambling racketeers.

Passengers coming into NZ will be profiled at Auckland Airport and be turned away at the border if they are suspected of having connections to betting rings run by organised criminal syndicates, mostly based from Asia.

A Customs spokeswoman said people suspected of being involved in matchfixing could be barred from boarding a flight to NZ. Match-fixing will become a specific crime by the end of the year. This will give police more teeth to investigate, said Superintendent Sandra Manderson, police chief for the Cricket World Cup in February and March and the Fifa Under-20 World Cup from May 30 to June 21.

She said that last year, spectators at two matches between NZ and England had been identified as “courtsiding”, or reporting live to gain a betting advantage over those watching delayed broadcasts overseas. The ICC had identified

people in the crowd in Hamilton and Wellington “courtsiding” during the English tour, said Ms Manderson.

A ban on the practice would probably be imposed as one of the conditions for buying a match ticket for the World Cup. Anyone caught would be evicted from the ground.

The Crimes (Match-fixing) Amendment Bill passed its first reading in Parliament and is planned to come into force mid-December, before NZ hosts the world cricket and football events.

Some types of match-fixing behaviour may already be covered by sections of the Crimes Act and Secret Commissions Act, but the proposed law removes any uncertainty. Any behaviour designed to influence the betting outcome will be defined as “obtaining by deception or causing loss by deception” and be punishable by up to seven years in prison.

Ms Manderson said the pending law change would give police “more teeth” to investigate corruption in sport, and senior officers had been briefed by two members of the ICC anti-corruption unit.

Ms Manderson also warned of “honey traps” set by the betting syndicates to catch players in compromising positions.

“We know they bring in women into the country to fraternise with players,” she said. “Afterwards, they’ll ask the players to do something and if they refuse they’ll say, ‘Well, see these photographs?

They will be with your wife, your neighbours, your parents’.”

All Blacks lock in July 8 for Samoa The All Blacks will play Manu Samoa in Apia on July 8 next year as part of both teams’ preparations for Rugby World Cup 2015.

New Zealand Rugby and the Samoa Rugby Union confirmed details around the much anticipated match which will mark the first encounter on Samoan soil between the two teams.

The agreement was signed at a media conference at New Zealand Rugby House in Wellington by New Zealand Rugby Chairman Brent Impey and Samoa Rugby Chairman, Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi.

The match will kick off at Apia Park at 3pm (2pm NZT).

The Samoa Rugby Union welcomed confirmation of the match. Chairman Hon Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi said “It will be an historic occasion to have the All Blacks play in Samoa in July 2015.

The rugby supporters of both countries will savour a unique

event in Apia as the Manu Samoa will face the number one team in the world at home. It is a match that will be watched by millions of viewers as we intend to broadcast it live to the rest of the world.

“I also challenge other Tier One Nations to come and play the Manu Samoa at home.” All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said: “2015 is a massive year for us and this historic Test is an ideal way for us to begin our preparations for the Investec Rugby Championship and Rugby World Cup 2015 in earnest.

“Many players in our team have strong ties to Samoa so this Test will be a great occasion for all of us. It will only enhance the links between our two countries.

“There is also a lot of respect for Manu Samoa and playing them at home will make this a great challenge - one we will all look forward to.”

Candidates straying from script Stu Oldham

EDITOR

A

n election has reached a sorry pass when the most interesting campaign news from a region is the extent to which candidates stray from the script.

But that is where we are just 11 days out from an election that has seen a shambles of sideshows swamp such trifling matters as direction and policy.

Yesterday, this editorial referred to the missteps of Labour Party Rangitata candidate Steve Gibson, who is avowedly sick of toeing the party line and plans to keep calling things as he sees them.

His position earned the rebuke of party leader David Cunliffe who, said Labour wanted the party vote in Rangitata and that Mr Gibson has no future as a Labour candidate.

Now, another Labour candidate that would represent some of Mid Canterbury has been shown to be out of tune with his party’s campaign to Vote Positive.

Mr Cunliffe says there are some “issues” with Selwyn candidate Gordon Dickson, from an email the candidate sent to a political journalist in Christchurch.

In the email, Mr Dickson suggests the “lazy” “unwilling” journalist may be protecting a National Party candidate from scrutiny for not putting one of his questions to John Key. These are big calls from a candidate whose campaign depends on using all means possible to engage with voters. They are also a measure short of “positive”.

The sideshow will disappoint Labour strategists who have worked hard to find ways to chisel chinks in the National Party armour.

It has scored points in pointing out National’s tax cut proposal amounts to less than the proposal Labour floated last election, which was derided as the block of cheese cut.

It has also made the most of the book Dirty Politics, using it to establish the points on the moral compass at which it and National part ways.

But that work comes to nought if it is not followed through at all levels of the campaign.

The latest indiscretion is not at the level of those identified in Dirty Politics, but it does show local-level politics has some way to go before it is sanitised.

YOUR VIEW Disappointed In recent times I have become more and more disappointed with the presentation of The Guardian, which is reputed to be one of the leading provincial newspapers.

Six or seven sheets making up 24 or 28 pages during the week, expanded to 48 pages to accommodate an extra 14 full pages of adverts on Saturday.

On week days it is so light, a good nor’ wester could blow it away. Has the price of newsprint gone up so high that you have had to reduce the size and content of our paper.

Apart from this, I feel the quality of content has slipped.

The front page frequently shows just large photos and blazing headline.

Page 2, overseas TRIVIA which would appeal to very few.

The small piece relating to happenings from way back is good, but from here on, we get a

CRUMB

mish-mash of local and a bit of overseas news, where you can fit it in with the adverts.

Yes, I know you need the adverts to pay your overhead expenses, and they must be high with six reporters (are they all full time?), a photographer and the Editor.

Far too frequently an article is accompanied by a photo which, in some cases, takes up a third of the page. It is generally the story that counts, not the photo.

Saturday night, while watching the test football, I wanted to check who was playing for the ABs, but could find no reference to them except two articles about Reid and McCaw. After the ABs was the test between Australia and South Africa. I cannot recall any, or very little, mention of this.

What about race results? I have not seen them in your paper for some considerable time.

I am sure you do not have to

by David Fletcher

collate these in order to publish same. Surely the TAB would supply them, and undoubtedly Ashburton would have a large following of racing.

I feel we are getting shortchanged, and would like to see some improvements, not just in the several sporting gripes I have made, but also with overseas news.

Bruce Leighton (Abridged) The editor responds: Thank you for your letter. The newspaper’s layout is as it was when it moved from broadsheet to compact in June last year, though page numbers do vary with advertising.

The All Blacks team was named in the newspaper’s Thursday edition and there was some detail about the South Africa test on Saturday.

In common with other regional newspapers, we run local racing results in preference

to national ones. This has not changed in recent times. Also the results do not come to us in a collated form.

To do more would cut into sport pages, further reducing local sports coverage.

Our team of four part-time general news reporters, a full time agri business editor, a full time sports reporter and a full time editor contributes to four publications and a website.

Our brief is to be fiercely local. Last week, the team produced more than 2000 column centimetres on the worst shooting in our town’s history.

Regrettably, this did not allow further room for additional reportage on the situation in the Middle East. * Correspondents are reminded the letters should be no more than 350 words and where a nom de plume is sought a reason for anonymity should be made clear.

FROM YOUR COUNCIL

a meeting when I was approached by a council staff member who took me aside and broke the news to me. I was speechless.

My first reaction was that it just couldn’t be true, but the dozens of voice and text messages left on my phone from media said otherwise.

It’s news you just don’t expect, or ever want to hear – especially as we live in such a safe and trusting community.

It came as a huge shock, one that’s rocked Ashburton – and from the numerous messages of condolences – the nation as well.

During that horror day I was

approached by a young woman who asked me if it was safe for her to return home. She lived alone and near the area where police were searching. She said she felt scared and vulnerable and wasn’t sure what to do.

When someone tells me they feel unsafe in our community, it affects me deeply knowing her thoughts may have reflected what others were also thinking.

Ashburton is a safe place.

The triple shooting doesn’t represent who we are as a community, what defines us is how we respond.

While we heard and read reports of Ashburton being a town under siege, what I saw was a community looking after its own.

Businesses were putting in place precautionary measures to keep staff safe, schools were locking doors, pulling down blinds and keeping children away from windows and generally most people were doing

what they could to help.

There’s been understandably an outpouring of grief and we’ll continue to support and send our love to the families affected by this terrible act. We have a strong community, but we are hurting from having two of our own taken from us.

It will take us a long time to fully come to terms with the events and I urge everyone to look out for one another, to show support and help them as much as you can.

A listening ear, a cup of tea, a smile can make such a difference.

An appeal to raise money to help the families and victims from the shooting has been set up.

■ INDIA

Flood toll rises to 400 The death toll from devastating floods in India and Pakistan has risen to 400, with hundreds of thousands more stranded, some “neck-deep” in water, authorities say.

A huge rescue effort is under way in the divided mountainous region of Kashmir after monsoon rains submerged hundreds of villages, in the deadliest flooding there in over half a century.

Rajesh Kumar, police inspector general for the Jammu region on the Indian side, said yesterday the toll had risen to around 200.

Another 206 people are confirmed dead on the Pakistan side.

“The situation in the Kashmir valley is still very grim, it is quite critical,” Kumar said.

“The main highway is still cut off from everything.

“But thankfully, many other

road networks have been restored to a large extent.”

The Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency said an estimated 400,000 people remained stranded in flood-hit areas on the Indian side.

“We are facing a serious shortage of boats for rescuing people from inundated areas,” the divisional commissioner for Kashmir, Rohit Kansal, told PTI. “A lot of 100 boats is being airlifted from Delhi which shall be landing here any moment.”

Kumar said he could not say exactly how many were stranded, but that “there are many stuck in neck-deep water and need help as soon as possible”.

Some water and electricity lines had been restored in areas that were less severely affected, he added.

‘Numerous objects’ hit flight MH17 Flight MH17 that crashed over rebel-held eastern Ukraine split into pieces during flight after being hit by numerous high-speed objects.

“Flight MH17... operated by Malaysia Airlines broke up in the air probably as the result of structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from outside,” says a preliminary report into the disaster that claimed 298 lives, among them 38 Australian citizens and residents.

The report, which comes almost two months after MH17 was went down, also said the Boeing 777-200 was airworthy when it took off from Amsterdam and was staffed by a “qualified and experienced crew”.

“There were no technical problems,” the 34-page report released yesterday by the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) states.

The report says the fact that the plane was hit by high-speed objects “explains the abrupt end to data registration on the recorders, the simultaneous loss of contact with air traffic control and the aircraft’s disappearance from radar”.

The Boeing was blown out of the sky over eastern Ukraine as it was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, killing all on board, including 193 Dutch citizens.

The DSB said the black boxes recovered from the war-torn crash site in Ukraine showed no evidence of manipulation.

Kiev and the West accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down the plane with a surface-to-air missile supplied by Moscow.

Russia, which denies mounting Western claims of direct involvement in the fivemonth conflict in Ukraine, has blamed government forces for the attack.

Surging levels of carbon dioxide sent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to a new record in 2013, while oceans, which absorb the emissions, have become more acidic than ever, the UN says.

The local man, in his 50s, was bitten on the right leg by what is believed to be a Great White shark at Clarkes Beach, on the NSW far north coast, yesterday morning.

New Zealanders increased their spending on credit and debit cards in August, with a pick-up in the hospitality sector driving core retail expenditure in the month.

The value of core retail sales on electronic cards, which strips out spending on fuel and vehicle related items, rose 0.6 per cent to a seasonally adjusted $3.78 billion in August, adding to the 0.6 per cent increase a month earlier, Statistics New Zealand said. Including fuel and vehicle spending, total retail spending rose 0.5 per cent to $4.69 billion.

■ OPINION

n Bradford v Zaks Ltd, the Authority found that an employee who resigned in the heat of the moment should be allowed to reconsider their resignation.

Ms Bradford, an employee at a Zaks Hair Saloon, had been injured and was unwell.

When she had not returned to work by the expected date her employer called her twice on the day in question to question her absence and request a medical report.

Ms Bradford claimed the employer was angry on the telephone, and referred to customers being on the doorstep and demanded that Ms Bradford return her salon key.

The employer called later on the same day to ask about the medical report and discuss the lack of communication regarding the absence.

The employer’s evidence was that Ms Bradford then flew into a rage, swore profusely, and eventually ended the call with the words “don’t fu#*ing bother I quit”.

The employer effectively accepted this as a resignation, and advised Ms Bradford to return her Salon keys

Smartpay, the listed payments terminal supplier, said it will sell into the taxi market in Australia before the end of the year to counteract a forecast 8 per cent revenue drop that followed the loss of an Australian contract in December. The NZbased company told shareholders at their annual meeting in Auckland that the current relationship with an Australian tax payments provider supplying Smartpay’s terminals directly to taxi drivers across Australia will end on December 31.

To make up for the loss, Smartpay is launching Smartpay Taxis to participate directly in Australian taxi payments rather than as a - APNZ wholesaler.

Vulnerable customers’ modems being attacked by cyber criminals is a more credible explanation for Spark’s internet outage than problems caused by New Zealanders wanting to look at nude photos of actress Jennifer Lawrence, says a security expert.

Spark’s customers experienced broadband woes over much of the weekend.

Initial reports suggested the problem was linked to people who wanted to look at leaked photos of Lawrence inadvertently installing malware that was used for a distributed denial of service attack.

This attack involved overseas cyber criminals targeting web addresses in Eastern Europe and bouncing traffic off Spark customers, the New Zealand company said.

This led to “high traffic loads” hitting Spark’s servers

which according to the company meant its own customers had slow or no connection.

While customers trying to access the leaked photos of the Hollywood star was initially blamed for the outage, yesterday Spark posited a different theory.

“While we’re not ruling out malware as a factor, we have also identified that cyber criminals have been accessing vulnerable customers’ modems on our network ... most of these modems were not supplied by Spark and tend to be older or lower end modems,” the company said.

Computer forensic investigator and security expert Daniel Ayers said this explanation makes more sense.

“I didn’t believe the malware issue at the start because if international cyber criminals issue malware ... that would have been seen around the world and would have involved other

■ DUAL EXHIBITION

ARTS DIARY

Artists join forces for show Ashburton artist Libby Baxter is exhibiting a range of her prints at the Selwyn Gallery this month.

Ms Baxter was Darfield Artweek’s 2013 winner.

She studied for a Bachelor of Design Degree at Massey University, where she discovered her passion in printmaking.

In a converted old woolshed she designs and makes prints using a range of techniques, including layering, transfers, etching and embossing.

She works on commission artworks using personal photographs to create pieces of memorabilia.

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, Ms Baxter has a love for photography, and travel provides her with endless material to use and inspire her work.

Her exhibition, entitled Journeys, is alongside another

by Lorraine Natusch, second prize winner of Darfield Artweek 2013, who is featuring her new glass work.

Ms Natusch uses the techniques of casting, fusing, slumping and pate de verre.

Her foray into art began with design courses, studying many different mediums until the discovery of cast glass became her passion.

Initial courses led to an advanced professional course and a hobby started to became a career.

Since returning to her home town of Darfield, she has studied under several worldacclaimed master glass artists. Her exhibition is entitled A Side Step, and features artwork created largely with the technique of pate de verre (paste of glass).

Darfield Artweek arts coordinator Ingrid Cole said the dual exhibition, which opened on September 5 and will run until October 2, was a taste of what is to come at next month’s annual artweek.

“This exhibition is bursting with fresh ideas and heaps of talent,” Ms Cole said.

The exhibition will be open daily, except Mondays, from 10am to 4pm for the duration of the exhibition.

An exhibition programme is available on the gallery’s website www.selwyngallery.co.nz

■ ASHBURTON TRUST EVENT CENTRE

Kiwi boy brings US country star to town An invitation by the familiar voice of John Denver on film, to sit back and relax was willingly accepted by the audience at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on Saturday night.

It was easy to observe that many were in that space. Heads were bobbing and bodies swaying ever so gently as the lyrics of Sweet Surrender filled the air.

Charley Pride stated “I marvel at how he’s got John Denver down so well. Just close your eyes and it’s almost like listening to John”.

New Zealand’s own Bevan Gardiner, 26, (performing the songs of John Denver) has not allowed being partially sighted to prevent him from achieving his dreams. He has sung abroad, recently graduated

from Otago University with a Bachelor of Music and teaches music when he is not touring.

Many awards have also come his way.

Bevan’s passion for John Denver’s music began at the tender age of 7.

A tape of a live John Denver show was playing in the Gardiners’ car as the family headed to Central Otago for a holiday.

Something captured young Bevan’s attention and from then on he immersed himself in his idol’s music.

Throughout the evening’s concert, we were shown chronologically arranged movie clips of John’s career and personal life. Songs such as Take Me Home Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High and Thank God I’m a Country Boy slotted

in along the way were conducive to a sing-along, clap-along response from the enthusiastic audience.

Backing vocalist 22-year-old Georgie Daniell from Dunedin, demonstrated that she was in control of her task and delivered accordingly. Never overpowering during duets or solos, Georgie sang with sincerity and evidence of much experience.

Another member of the extremely polished backing band, Darryl Walker, teamed with Bevan for Perhaps Love and this really appealed to the audience, as did the lesser known What Are We Making Weapons For. Many readers will recall Jacques Cousteau and our weekly television viewing of

ocean conservation filmed from his research boat Calypso. The song bearing that same name was well received.

Other audience favourites during the evening were Annie’s Song, Grandma’s Feather Bed and Take Me Home.

There were moments to clap and sing a chorus or two, but others where it was better to sit and be taken quietly into the lyrics.

Bevan Gardiner gave us a truly credible performance of many John Denver songs on Saturday night, reminding us that his idol had lived with a generous spirit, a simplistic outlook on life and a passion for many causes around the world.

Thank God I’m a Country Boy says it all really.

In brief Carter still missing Dan Carter may not be seen in this year’s Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks first-five has been out since he fractured his leg while playing for the Crusaders in last month’s Super Rugby final loss to the Waratahs in Sydney. In Carter’s absence, Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett have filled-in with aplomb as the All Blacks have moved to the top of the standings.

Carter will miss this Saturday’s contest against South Africa in Wellington but it was thought the 100-test veteran would be available for the All Blacks’ trip to Argentina and South Africa.

But All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said that may not be the case and a decision will be made around Carter in a week or so. “Dan’s tracking really well but I doubt we’ll see him in the Rugby Championship,” Foster said yesterday.

Milestone for de Villiers Jean de Villiers made his test debut in late 2002 but didn’t make another appearance for the Springboks for nearly two years.

His first outing was a rough occasion as it lasted less than 10 minutes after the midfielder suffered a serious knee injury against France and spent nine months out of the game. A shoulder injury in a warm-up match ahead of the 2003 World Cup stuffed his comeback before it got off the ground and he didn’t play his second test until he ran out against the Pacific Islanders in Australia in 2004. “It has been a long road,” he said of his test career. “And certainly there were definitely times when I didn’t think I would get to number two.” But de Villiers eventually collected his second cap and began to forge a lengthy test career and he will make his 100th appearance for South Africa when the Springboks meet the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday night.

No Cup for Ryder Those clinging on in anticipation of a dramatic late World Cup recall for Jesse Ryder next summer will be out of luck. The door is not quite shut on the recalcitrant, but gifted, lefthand batsman for the ODI jamboree in New Zealand and Australia.

However it’s only fractionally ajar.

While Doug Bracewell, Ryder’s partner in late-night shenanigans last summer, won a recall to the New Zealand A side for the justcompleted tour to Britain, there’s no sign of similar treatment for Ryder. “We’ve made clear our expectations and he’s well aware of them,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said yesterday.

One more loss . . .

Shane Cameron has vowed to retire from boxing should he lose to fellow New Zealander Kali Meehan in their heavyweight clash at the North Shore Events Centre on November 22. This bout, for many the highlight of a Super 8 event which also features Kiwi cruiserweight David Aloua against Australian Daniel Baff, will be Cameron’s first since his loss to American Brian Minto in December last year, a defeat that was again notable for the cuts to Cameron’s face.

■ CYCLING

Bad luck ‘keeps on coming’

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton cyclist Jason Christie is back in Europe after getting the run around from his now former Asia-based team.

Christie was left bewildered with his situation in Asia and opted to head back to Europe, only to be plagued by bad luck as he continues to pursue a professional cycling career.

After riding in the Tour de Langkawi in March, for the CCN Continental Cycling Team he returned home for a planned six week training block.

Then he received his race programme, which wasn’t near as busy as he had been promised it would be.

“Along with a litany of so many other previous promises broken, it left me in a pretty dark place,” Christie wrote in his blog.

He continued to train waiting for the call to return to racing, growing more frustrated each day with no contact from the team.

“I was “stranded” in Ash Vegas, liv-

ing a hermit-like lifestyle for what felt like eternity while contemplating my next move.

“The optimist in me waited and waited for the team to see if they would pull through.”

The call came in, he had a tour race in China and went through the “lengthy a n d costly process” of obtaining a Visa to get into China for the race.

But two days before he was meant to race, he received an email that he said he would

no longer be required due to another rider crashing and having to withdraw.

“I lost motivation and desire to race for the team again.”

“I eventually made my decision to head back to Europe where I would stay for the remainder of the summer season and race for an amateur team.

“I would do my best and try to get closer to my longterm goal of turning pro in the process.

“After making good progress on the road in the past couple of years, and thinking that I never want to look back with regret at not having tried hard enough, I packed my bags.”

Almost immediately upon arrival he was back racing, although he found the going a bit tough after being so long out of action he survived the five d ay tour but was “totally empty”.

With a bit more racing under his belt he was feeling

confident again during the Tour of Namur in Belgium.

Negotiating a short, slippery, descent 130km into the 160km stage he was caught up in a major pile-up.

“I lay on the road for quite some time in pain, and then forced myself to get up and ride the last 30 kilometres to the finish line.

“I finished the stage, but could barely walk afterward.”

Despite struggling with “no strength through my left leg” he continued and completed the tour.

Post-race medical examination revealed he had torn his abductor muscle - the same injury that ruled Dan Carter out of the 2011 rugby world cup.

The bad luck kept coming as on a training ride he was collected by a truck and trailer and sent skidding along the road again, resulting in the “longest and most painful 10km I have done in my life”.

“This period in Europe has probably been the hardest I have endured with bad luck.

“Things are on the mend again now.

“Looking ahead I am going to close my season fairly late here, picking up every opportunity I can between now and then.”

Stars focusing on Rio Olympics New Zealand’s leading cyclists will put their Commonwealth Games endeavours behind them, as they prepare to take the first steps towards the Rio Olympics at the Avantidrome in Cambridge this month.

Hinds’ Lauren Ellis and most of the Glasgow Games medallists will be in action in the first Olympic qualifying event, the BikeNZ Cup and BikeNZ Classic, to be run from September 18-20.

The event has drawn entries from Australia, USA, Malaysia, Japan and Canada for the three-day event that carries vital qualifying points ultimately towards the Rio Olympics.

from the international competitors, the event will pit New Zealand team-mates against each other as they vie for selection to next month’s important Oceania Championships in Adelaide, which leads to selection for the UCI World Cup series beginning in November.

The track riders, who had a three week break following the 11 medal haul in Glasgow, returned to training last week to refocus on the UCI qualifying event.

“As one of the highly ranked federations, it’s our responsibility to host a UCI qualifying event each year and it’s another excellent opportunity to bring top quality track cycling to

this country and to the Avantidrome,” BikeNZ High Performance director Mark Elliott said.

“We’ve enjoyed an excellent Commonwealth Games campaign, but as that chapter closes, we now open a new door towards the Rio Olympics in 2016.

“This event is the first stepping stone, which will determine selection to what will be an important Oceania Championship next month, and performances there lead to the World Championships and ultimately to Rio. “It all starts in Cambridge this month.”

In brief Benji may yet return Stephen Kearney says the door is still open for Benji Marshall to play for the Kiwis, despite his omission from the train-on squad for the upcoming Four Nations tournament. There was no room for Marshall in the initial 21-man roster named from the clubs not involved in the NRL playoffs but the Kiwis coach insists it’s not the end. “Anything is possible and there’s every opportunity for Benji to wear the black jersey [again],” said Kearney. “At this particular stage, it won’t be in 2014 but I am not writing anything off. The way he has come back has been a real credit to him and in 12 months time we all might be singing a different song.”

It was a superb day all round for Ashburton Dressage Group’s regional dressage tournament at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Sunday.

The large field of 75 competitors enjoyed excellent conditions for the annual tour-

nament, with plenty of good scores.

The coveted Tony Archibald Memorial Tray was won by Christchurch’s Nicki Ford, formerly of Rakaia, as the best performing masters rider on the day and there were plenty of top performances from local riders.

In Class 9 Sarah Waddell was second on River Stock and Nicola Sim fourth on Chocolate Ice, and in Class 10 Sarah was second with Kate Waddell third.

Sim and Chocolate Ice took out Class 11 and were fourth in class 12.

In the pony classes, James Waddell and Freelance II won

class 18 and was second in Class 15 with Hamish Kerr and Solitaire Jade third. Kerr won Class 17 with James second.

In the non-graded classes, Charlotte Waddell and Uptown Charlie Brown won Class 24 and were second in Class 23 with Emma Brockhurst and T’Kealas One in third.

Cilic hails US Open win a miracle

By Darren WaLton Marin Cilic admits his stunning US Open triumph is nothing less than a sporting miracle.

In one of the most unlikely finals in grand slam history, Cilic capped his stirring comeback from a controversial four-month exile from tennis with a 6-3 6-3 6-3 rout of Japanese trailblazer Kei Nishikori.

Incredibly, Cilic landed his maiden grand slam title - and Croatia’s first since his coach Goran Ivanisevic beat Pat Rafter as a Wimbledon wildcard in 2001 - a year after sitting out the New York major while serving a doping ban.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced the suspen-

sion from six months but the scandal still rankles Cilic, with the 25-year-old maintaining he tested positive for a prohibited stimulant contained in a supplement bought over the counter by one of his staff.

But Cilic said after yesterday’s watershed win that the nightmare ordeal only fuelled his desire to hit back stronger than ever when his suspension ended.

He hired Ivanisevic during the ban and the pair started working Cilic harder than ever before - during last year’s Open while the one-time world No.9 was in isolation.

Cilic said the ban also made him mentally tougher, while Ivanisevic made playing tennis fun again.

“The most important thing that he brings to me is the joy in tennis,” Cilic said.

But despite all his hunger, determination and dreaming, Cilic never truly imagined he’d ever be a grand slam champion.

“This is just the peak of the world,” he said. “I mean, these last three players or four players I played against, I had a losing record. Coming into any of those matches I was trying to win but not sort of knowing that I’m going to do it.

“Considering everything, I mean, it’s a miracle.”

Hangover or not, Cilic will wake up with a record $US3 million cheque and his ranking restored to No.9 in the world for the first time since 2010. - AAP

Marin Cilic reacts to winning the US Open yesterday.

Melbourne are backing Will Chambers to take on the crucial goal-kicking duties in Sunday’s NRL sudden-death final against Canterbury despite him booting just one goal this season. Melbourne’s kicking ace, captain Cameron Smith, is battling to be fit in time for the elimination final at AAMI Park after badly spraining his left ankle in last week’s final round win over Brisbane. Chambers took over the goalkicking in the second half even though the injured skipper was on the field and he managed one conversion from two attempts, his first of the year. Test skipper Smith is now off crutches and out of a moon boot but won’t train with the team until Saturday, when a decision on his readiness will be made. - AAP

Huge hurdle for Broncs If anyone knows what it takes for Brisbane to beat the finals odds and make premiership history, it’s Willie Carne. But the Broncos great admits it will be “almost impossible” for his former club to clear the first finals hurdle this weekend, let alone farewell coach Anthony Griffin with an unlikely NRL title. Carne was a key to the Broncos making history in 1993 by becoming the first team to win the premiership from fifth spot. The Broncos face a greater challenge in 2014 after relying on other results to scrape into eighth spot and book an elimination final with North Queensland in Townsville on Saturday. Carne kept his fingers crossed but believed playing the fifth-placed Cowboys in Townsville was about as tough as it got come finals time.

Chicken-wing forgiven South Sydney’s Kyle Turner holds nothing against the Rooster who chicken-winged him. But the young Rabbitohs second rower is nursing a stretched muscle but feared a more serious injury during Aidan Guerra’s arm-wrenching tackle in last week’s NRL final round clash. “It was a bit scary at the time,” Turner said. “I was hoping there was nothing wrong that would keep me out of this week’s game.” Sydney Roosters prop Guerra was hit with a one-match ban for the ugly tackle and will sit out Saturday’s qualifying final against Penrith as a result. Some may suggest the Roosters gave the Rabbitohs a taste of their own medicine, with Souths’ wrestling tactics coming under scrutiny last month when Ben Teo copped a four-match ban for a chicken wing tackle on Sam Thaiday.

In brief

■ VEYRON ON TRACK

Zennista thriving Zennista has progressed well since her encouraging first-up effort in the Gr.1 Makfi Challenge Stakes at Hastings. The multiple stakes winner and Group One performer got clear late at Hastings to finish eighth and two lengths from the winner I Do. “She’ll head back there for the next one (the Windsor Park Plate) – she deserves a crack at that and then she’ll go to 2000 metres, which will suit ideally,” said trainer Lisa Latta, referring to the Livamol Classic on October 4.

Divan off to Flemington New Zealand-bred colt Divan is likely to make his next appearance in the $A120,000 Henry Bucks Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday. The Oaks Stud-bred and sold son of Zabeel and Seachange is the joint second favourite for the $A1 million Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) and he will clash with the current market leader Chivalry in this weekend’s Listed event. A $500,000 Karaka yearling, Divan is trained by Robert Hickmott. - APNZ

Group One hopes trial well Multiple Group One winner Veyron was in action at his local trial meeting yesterday as part of a fine-tuning process.

The Cambridge-trained chestnut finished runner-up in his open 1200 metre heat in his build-up toward a return trip to Hastings for the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate on September 20.

Veyron has had two runs since a lengthy break and last time out he finished ninth, but just over two lengths from the winner I Do in a blanket finish to the Gr.1 Makfi Challenge Stakes.

“He had 313 days away from the races and he was always going to be half a race behind,” trainer Linda Laing said.

“It’s like playing for the All Blacks – it’s the match fitness that counts so I thought I’d give him a quiet trial here to bring him along for the Windsor Park.”

Veyron is not nominated for the Gr.1 Livamol Spring Classic, the third leg of the

Triple Crown series at Hastings, with Laing having eyes for another major prize.

“I’d like to win the Zabeel Classic again,” she said.

Another Windsor Park contender is Zonza, which is not guaranteed a start in the feature, showed her readiness to resume with an easy victory in her 1200m heat.

“She was very impressive,” trainer Roger James said.

Zonza currently sits 17th in order of entry to the Group One and it’s a scenario James has previous experience of.

“It’s never easy and it was the same with Gaze a few years ago and she didn’t get in and won the (Listed) Karaka Classic the same day so that’s Plan B,” he said.

Meanwhile, James was delighted with the first-up fourth placing of Zonza’s stablemate and spring cup aspirant Silent Achiever in the Gr.1 NZB Memsie Stakes trial. at Caulfield.

Adjusting to life without a car doesn’t mean losing independence and freedom.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) While there is a battle being waged between busy work forces and those that want you to chill out, it’s all about having the best of both worlds.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Where you’ve had a chance to redefine your home and family desires and expectations, it’s now all about walking the talk.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) As the Moon’s monthly visit to your career sector wraps up, hold on to the professional instincts, valuable clues and insights gained.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Embrace a sense of adventure and wanderlust hanging in the air from yesterday’s Full Moon. Give yourself permission to play hooky.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Together the money gods are working to turn financial tension into motivation and a sense of determination on the financial fronts.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Where yesterday’s Full Moon brought any personal and/or relationship tension to a head, there is a chance today for balance.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) At a time when professional matters are taking a back seat and income matters are driving things forward, trust your gut on the work front.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With the major forces in play on the career and work fronts now locked into place, all you’re waiting for is doors to open on the income front.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Life will always be a balancing act and the price you have to pay for being able to have it all is that you have to learn to juggle.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) It’s not only your relationships that will benefit from authentic connecting, with communication essential across all aspects of your life.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) As the Moon leaves your income sector and wraps up yesterday’s Full Moon, hold on to the nose for money gained.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) While personal and/or relationship tension isn’t dropping off as fast as you’d like, this can work to your advantage as it’s holding your attention.

Mark Purdon and Smolda managed to slip home a neck clear of Ricky May and Terror to Love in an early season pre-New Zealand Trotting Cup hit out at yesterday’s Ashburton trials.

Cup stars show their wares

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It took the arrival of Graham and Paul Court’s superstar to bring out what was a halfway decent crowd at yesterday’s Ashburton Trotting Club trials.

In what could have been a mini-New Zealand Trotting Cup, three time winner Terror To Love showed he could well have what it takes to clinch win number four in November, and there were plenty of local punters

on hand to watch the champion prove he’s lost none of his speed over winter.

He lined up in the C3 and faster free-for-all with two other horses who are hot contenders to make a solid run on cup day, stablemate Hands Christian and the Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen trained Smolda.

Good performers Instead Of and the American import Johny Rock, both out of the Court stable made up the rest of the field.

From the barrier, the field of five made it clear they wouldn’t be gunning for a record breaking time, and for most of the 2400m they ran in Indian file with Instead Of making the pace, Johny Rock in the trail, followed by Hands Christian, Smolda and Terror to Love.

Ricky May appeared happy to let the star tag at the back of the field, watching and waiting for his chance to turn on a burst of speed.

The lazy trials day jog was set alight around the 400 metre mark, with May giving Terror To Love the nod.

He pulled out to the middle of the track signalling his intention to make a fast run for the line, and at the same time Mark Purdon told Smolda to get down to business.

The pair smoked down the straight leaving the rest of the field in their dust, with Smolda hanging on to win by a neck.

Hands Christian ran home third followed by Instead Of and Johny Rock.

Smolda ran the 2400m in 3.01.7, the last 800m in 54.4 secs and the final 400 in a slick 26.3 secs.

By virtue of last year’s win, Terror To Love gains automatic entry to this year’s cup and is currently ranked number one.

Smolda is ranked 9th in the field of 15 with Hands Christian sitting in 21st place.

Welbeck double kicks off England’s campaign Danny Welbeck scored twice as England launched their 2016 European Championship qualifying campaign with an encouraging 2-0 win away to chief Group E rivals Switzerland in Basel yesterday.

England had been criticised for a lacklustre display in their 1-0 friendly victory over Norway last week, but with a new midfield diamond introduced by manager Roy Hodgson, they put on an improved showing.

Bad luck dogs Jason’s career P18

Welbeck was deputising for the injured Daniel Sturridge and the new Arsenal striker rose to the occasion, touching home a cross from Raheem Sterling in the 58th minute and then sealing victory in stoppage time.

“I thought the way we approached the game from the first minute was exactly what we wanted, and we got our reward,” Hodgson told ITV. “We pressurised the ball well, but you need that first goal to

get people to come out and attack you.

“From then I thought we looked dangerous and we had several chances to aggravate the scoreline before Danny Welbeck’s second.”
