It’s all in the kiwis’ feathers Ever wondered how to determine the sex of a kiwi? The answer is in the feathers, according to Kiwi Encounter husbandry manager Claire Travers. At Rainbow Springs’ Kiwi Encounter hatchery several feathers from each young chick were sent to Massey University for DNA testing. The DNA material was found at the tip of the feather shaft where it entered the bird’s skin. “We do try to give the kiwi chicks gender neutral names when they hatch because we can’t determine their sex without DNA testing,” Ms Travers said. “It’s only as the birds reach maturity you have a better chance of telling the gender apart, without DNA feather sexing. The female birds are larger, with a longer bill and a very different call to their counterpart.” Rainbow Springs staff tried to make educated guesses but they weren’t always right, she said.

A retired truck driver from South Auckland has claimed the $10.7 million prize in last Saturday’s Lotto draw, saying his ticket was a gift from a friend and that his first buy with his winnings would be a new pair of jandals. The Pukekohe resident wished to remain anonymous, said a Lotto spokeswoman, but had claimed his prize in person at the Auckland office Thursday afternoon. He was accompanied by his two best friends, including the one who had bought him the ticket as a thank you for helping around the house. The friend bought three tickets from Countdown Pukekohe during the trio’s weekly shopping trip.

Kiwi singer Ladyhawke and actress Madeleine Sami were to exchange vows at a large wedding ceremony in Masterton last night. Up to 200 people were thought to have been invited to the celebration, which was being held in the town where Ladyhawke, real name Pip Brown, was born and raised. Given the couple’s affiliation with the arts, it was expected that a number of the country’s musicians and actors would be there. Over the years, the couple – particularly Brown – have been quite private about their relationship, but have a home together in Los Angeles. The singer is known for her hits including My Delirium and Paris is Burning. She is known for her love of men’s clothing and regularly performs in men’s jackets and shirts. The source said no-one was expecting her to be wearing a dress yesterday. Actress Sami grew up in Auckland and has had roles in Sione’s Wedding, Outrageous Fortune and Top of the Lake.

■ MID CANTERBURY TINDER DRY

Total fire ban ‘very likely’

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

A total fire ban could soon become a reality in Mid Canterbury.

Drought-like conditions have led to a total fire ban for much of North Canterbury, including Banks Peninsula, Waimakariri, Hurunui and Selwyn.

The ban will come into effect today, as temperatures in Canterbury continue to soar.

A total fire ban means no outdoor fires can be lit without specific permits.

According to Mid Canterbury principal rural fire officer Don Geddes, such a ban is not required in Mid Canterbury – yet.

However, Mr Geddes said a ban was “very likely”, especially if the district’s recent spell of hot and dry weather continued.

“Given that we’re pretty ear-

ly in the fire season still and it doesn’t look like there’s much rain on the horizon in January, we’re not far off it actually, to be honest,” he said.

“In the next three days, if it’s as hot and dry as they’re saying, we’ll likely be lifting our arrows up to ‘very high’.”

The fire danger level in Mid Canterbury is currently at high, which means open fires are restricted but not prohibited.

People who live in rural areas are not the only ones who need to take care, according to Ashburton chief fire officer Alan Burgess.

Mr Burgess said people in urban areas should take care and heed fire restrictions, to avoid risk.

The warning follows a busy week for Mid Canterbury fire crews, after a massive blaze in the district last weekend

stretched resources.

Volunteer fire crews from across the country spent three days battling the out of control fire on land between Forks Road and the north branch of the Ashburton River.

While some relief from the dry weather is expected in the form of showers next week, temperatures will still remain in the 20s, according to the MetService.

Fire warning issued

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

As the district’s fire danger level inches towards ‘very high’, principal rural fire officer Don Geddes is preparing to crack down on those who flout fire restrictions.

The warning follows a busy week for Mid Canterbury fire crews, after a massive blaze in the district last weekend stretched resources.

Volunteer fire crews from across the country spent three days battling the out of control fire on land between Forks Road and the north branch of the Ashburton River.

One of the major issues firefighters were facing this summer was unattended fires in rubbish pits.

“They’re illegal fires, basically, so those people could be prosecuted, and they will be charged for all of the costs for putting those fires out,” Mr Geddes said.

He said instant infringement notices of $500 plus GST would be issued to anybody with a fire going that they did not have a permit for.

“It’s an instant fine under our bylaw, and we’ll probably be

starting to issue a few of those until people get the message,” he said.

He said the large fire last weekend, which destroyed almost 100 hectares of land, was probably the result of a rubbish pit fire that was left unattended.

“If that hadn’t happened, we wouldn’t have had to have a whole pile of resources on site there for three days, and the person responsible wouldn’t be looking at a bill for tens of thousands of dollars in costs, and probably also tens of thousands of dollars for public liability for the lost fencing on the neighbour’s property,” he said.

For Mr Geddes, the most “annoying” thing about fires such as last week’s was that they were completely avoidable.

He also believed land owners needed to ensure their farm workers were aware of restrictions.

“It’s just carelessness, and people just ignoring the rules or using the excuse that they don’t know, but that’s no excuse,” he said.

“The bottom line is, the responsibility is with the person lighting the match.”

increased depth necessary to store more water.

“The deeper you go the more water is lost through the shingle, we want to use it on farms, not watch it leak away,” MHIL director and farmer shareholder David Mavor said.

The storage farm will provide a reliable water supply for the 150 farmers on the scheme, irrigating some 33,000 hectares,

when the Rangitata Diversion Race that supplies the scheme is on summer restrictions.

Mr Mavor said reliability was the key to increased efficiency in water use, and lessening nutrient run-off.

Water is diverted into the ponds from the existing main supply race when not required for irrigation.

It will then be gravity-fed

into the shareholders’ network on an equal equity basis when river restrictions come into play.

The ponds hold sufficient water to offset a 20 per cent river restriction for 21 days.

Inflow, inter-pond flow, and an outlet culvert – which lets water back into the race, can be remotely controlled by way of automated hydraulic gates.

Work has been completed on a multimillion dollar water storage farm in Mid Canterbury.

Now all that is needed is a break from the current high irrigation demand, to fill it up.

The $14.9 million Carew Storage Farm, built for shareholders of the Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Ltd (MHIL) scheme, covers 150ha and has the capacity to store 6.1 million cubic metres of water.

Rooney Earthmoving was tasked with designing and building the three-pond system, and work got under way in October 2011.

About 1,150,000m3 of material was moved in the cut-andfill construction. Each pond was then lined with doubledseam-welded HDPE plastic.

MHIL general manager Hamish Tait said this was the most time consuming part of the project.

“Rooney’s brought in overseas experts – it was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, lining projects in the world at the time,” he said.

The decision to line the ponds was made early on, to get the

In brief

Webb said officers were “out and about at the moment” in the Canterbury district and expected to be around Ashburton next week.

“We have scouted Taylors and Bowyers today and flows are good, much better than I anticipated, so we won’t be doing anything there next week,” he said.

However further checks were expected on the Hinds Drains and those results would determine where they might target their time, and how extensive the work would be.

“We know many of these are drying already so it will be a matter of how many fish I see and how much water they are in that will determine urgency

of action there,” he said.

Earlier this week officers salvaged thousands of fish from South Canterbury rivers, including adult and juvenile brown trout, bullies, galaxids and eels.

Mr Webb said the rescues were pre-emptive fish salvages to salvage fish before the rivers dried up

Mid Canterbury firefighters were kept busy yesterday afternoon, with two vegetation fires on the same road.

Fire crews from the Ashburton, Willowby, Hinds, and Ashburton Rural stations attended the two fires on Boundary Road in Willowby at around 1.45pm yesterday. Ashburton chief fire officer Alan Burgess said the fires were possibly caused by a spark from a power wire.

The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to a small rubbish fire on Railway Terrace yesterday morning. Deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said the fire, which occurred about 8.20am was suspicious.

The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade also attended a pit fire on Old South Rd at 3pm on Thursday.

Plains running day The Vulcan Railcar RM50 will be in full operation tomorrow as members of The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum in Tinwald host their last official open day this month: It next opens February 8. The gates will be open between 11am and 4pm.

Emergency services were called to Waimarama Rd at 4.35pm after the 68-year-old appeared to cross the centre line as he attempted to negotiate a bend in the road. His vehicle then clipped a second car, spinning off the road and crashing into a tree.

Man arrested for burglary

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A 24-year-old Ashburton man will appear in the Christchurch District Court today on burglary charges following a break in at Ashburton Hotel Super Liquor on Thursday.

Police arrested the man after executing a search warrant at an Ashburton address yesterday, where they found a number of items of interest.

Ashburton police Senior Ser-

geant Scott Banfield said inquiries were ongoing in regard to determining if a second offender participated in the burglary.

All the officers based in Ashburton valued the support of the community and were determined to hold offenders accountable for their actions, Mr Banfield said.

The arrest follows two burglaries in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Ashburton Trust chief executive Giles Beal told the Guardian about $500 worth of merchandise was taken from Hotel Ashburton Super Liquor during the break in, which also left thousands of dollars worth of damage.

As well as Hotel Ashburton Super Liquor, Sunny’s Discount Dairy was also broken into – the second time the dairy has been targeted in less than a month.

The manager of Sunny’s Discount Dairy told the Guardian on Thursday that he was angry and frustrated over the burglaries, which caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Rakesh Bandi said he was “disturbed” that his store had been targeted twice in such a short period of time.

Ashburton police said investigations into whether Thursday’s two burglaries were linked were still ongoing.

Record number of building consents issued

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s building boom continued last year with a record breaking 1242 building consents worth almost $150 million issued during the year.

A number of consents issued by the Ashburton District Council were for big projects with big price tags $8.35 million for an aged care hospital planned for Lochlea Retirement Village, $2 million for the Westburn Courts redevelopment on West Street, and $1.5 million for a 20 bed extension to Cameron Courts Resthome. Another $1.2 million worth of work was consented for additional retirement villas at Rosebank.

In 2013, consent values (1198 worth $165 million) were boosted by a $32 million consent issued for the EA Networks Centre.

During the year $76.23 million worth of consents were issued for 233 new homes, about $1 million up on last year.

And among those new home consents, building services manager Michael Wong said, were two for homes with a

value in excess of $1 million.

The high number of consents, some of which were quite complex, meant a huge workload for staff, he said.

For Mayor Angus Mckay the unrelenting climb in value of building work around the district was confirmation Ashburton was not just holding its place in terms of economic growth, but was rapidly moving ahead.

“It’s across the board growth we’re seeing now, not just the agricultural sector.

We now have a full circle of growth across all sectors,” he said.

The district’s population was continuing to rise in the over 65 sector and building work consented last year confirmed that demand was pushing expansion in care facilities for older people. The district, however, was now growing at the opposite end of the age scale too, with a surge in numbers of younger people moving into the area for work opportunities, Mr McKay said.

“They’re the ones who are building new homes and who are helping with development in town and in the country.”

In brief Ten quake claims Tuesday’s early morning earthquake centred near Arthur’s Pass may have hit big numbers in terms of magnitude, but when it comes to claims for damages the numbers are low. Just 10 claims were made by property owners in the Ashburton District.

Four of those were for damage in Ashburton and all were quite minor, an EQC spokesperson said.

In total across Canterbury, the West Coast and Otago a total of 57 claims were lodged after Tuesday’s magnitude 6 quake that was centred about 30 kilometres from Arthurs Pass. The quake struck just before 7am and was followed by more than 20 aftershocks over the following 12 hours.

‘Ratbag’ thief Police are hunting for a “ratbag” offender who grabbed groceries from a disabled man with a walking frame. “It was a pretty miserable thing to do,” Senior Constable Geoff Wyllie, of Dunedin, said. The disabled man was waiting in the foyer of Pak’n Save, South Dunedin, with a bag of groceries hanging off his walking frame, about noon on Monday.

The offender “just walked over and grabbed the bag and shot out the door like a rocket”. “He took to his scrapers and took off.” Mr Wyllie said it was despicable act from a “ratbag” offender.

■ CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION

Change of supply causes confusion

By CaiTlin PorTer

caiTlin.p@Theguardian.co.nz

A packaging change has confused some Mid Cantabrians collecting their cholesterol-lowering medication.

A shortage in the cholesterol-lowering drug, Zarator, supplied by Pfizer, has meant that people prescribed that medication have had to use alternative brands, such as Lipitor or Atorvastatin.

All three products are identical, but have different packaging and brand names.

Ashburton Life Pharmacy pharmacist Jane Kelly said the shortage had been going on for the past few months.

However, while it may have been a bit confusing for its users, there was no change to the medicine itself, she said.

The shortage meant pharmacists had to limit the supply from the standard three month supply, to just one month.

Mrs Kelly said there had been more work created for pharmacists, especially with monthly prescription refills and the need to inform patients each month.

However, it was important to remem-

ber the medication itself was unchanged, she said.

Pfizer spokesperson, Kylie Park, told the Guardian that patients would have continued access to atorvastatin, despite the shortage.

Ms Park said Pfizer communicated with pharmacists on this matter, as well as with Pharmac. “Patients will also receive a letter from Pfizer explaining the situation when they fill in their prescription at the pharmacist.”

Statistics supplied by Pharmac show the number of prescriptions for atorvastatin within the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) region have increased over the last five years.

In 2010 27,838 prescriptions were given to patients within the CDHB, and that had more than trebled by 2014 when 93,370 prescriptions were written.

Ms Fitt clarified that the steep increase was largely due to the fact that special conditions were removed from the drug back in 2010, making it more widely available. However she said there were other factors to take into account.

Old furniture pieces given new lease on life

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Around half a dozen women bared the bones of large pieces of furniture this week in the Be Upholstered course at Methven Summer School.

The women had to strip their furniture right back to its basic form for repairs.

All the furniture was in need of total makeovers with springs to be mended, seats and backing restuffed, then relined and completely recovered.

They all had chosen stylish contemporary fabrics to lift the chairs, and modernise them.

The women were under the guidance of tutor Brendon Patrick from Tinwald Canvas.

Mr Patrick said by giving classical and traditionally well-made furniture

new padding and modern colouring “made it better for less”.

Revamping old furniture had become quite popular, he said.

Ashburton resident Lois Muir was among those with furniture pieces that needed work completed.

Mrs Muir had always wanted to do an upholstery course and was recovering a 1940s kauri bridge chair owned by her father.

She had sanded back the wood and had it professionally lacquered before undertaking the upholstery work.

She had chosen to replace its tired and worn neutral-coloured fabric with a vibrant classical blue design.

Mrs Muir understood the chair had come from the original Heritage Hotel in Hanmer Springs before it was devastated by fire in the 1950s.

The story behind some of the Ashburton District’s most notable heritage buildings has been recorded and will become part of the district’s living history.

Across the district about 25 Category A heritage sites were visited by Heritage New Zealand experts and each was inspected, photographed and a detailed fact sheet written telling their story.

Those stories have been compiled into a document that will be available to the community.

Ashburton District Council senior planner Ian Hyde described the collection of fact sheets as “a snapshot in time”.

“People in 10 years’ time can say this was what this building looked like in 2014, this was its condition back then.”

In the council’s district plan

there were a number of buildings of importance listed and the review undertaken late last year updated that as well as providing a wealth of information on each building or site, Mr Hyde said.

There are several gaps in the listings, as a number of buildings that were part of the heritage section of the council’s district plan have since been demolished after the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes.

Regardless of events in the future, the story of the remaining Category A buildings was recorded and would now become part of the district’s historical documentation, Mr Hyde said.

“That means people now have the chance to find out more about, or possibly visit, these heritage structures/and sites.

The improved information will

help increase residents’ awareness and understanding of some of the key historical places that are right here on our doorstep and the role they played in shaping our community today. This will become a real reference for the history of our district and how it has developed.”

Because some sites or buildings were on private property, people wishing to make a visit would need to contact the landowner first, he said.

The heritage file contains information on several buildings on the Longbeach Estate, the Akanui and Holmeslee homesteads, a range of buildings in the Barrhill settlement as well as churches and buildings in urban and rural parts of the district.

Each Saturday the Guardian will profile one of the district’s Category A heritage buildings

was possibly called St Augustine’s. It was a small wooden building designed to seat about 200.

A Catholic school was established in 1880 and the church was used as a classroom. A second church was designed in 1882 by Francis Petre, but it proved to be too expensive and only the nave was built.

This was demolished in 1931 and some of its fittings were used in the new church.

Today’s Catholic church was intended to make a positive statement regarding the Catholic presence in Ashburton, whose parish contained only half the numbers of the Anglicans. It was designed in the Romanesque style and when it was built, it was the most expensive building in Ashburton.

Stuck up the French Alps B

eing stuck on the slopes in the French Alps sounds like something out of a Christmas movie, but it was a situation former Methven resident Kayla Dynes found herself in a few weeks ago.

It all started off as a snowboarding adventure at a beautiful destination.

“At 6.30pm on December 19, a group of 20 New Zealanders jumped on board a bus for what should have been an 18-hour bus ride (to the Alps) and 24 hours later we finally arrived to a village of snow carvings and mulled wine.”

With Mont Blanc in the background and the most beautiful chalets she said she had ever seen, Miss Dynes was pretty happy.

“Lift after lift, run after run, the fun was endless,” she said.

Her evenings were spent drinking mulled wine, watching fireworks displays and roaming the village. After a week of snowboarding the group were set to depart on Saturday, December 27. Instead, they woke to 40cm of fresh powder, the snow still coming down heavily.

She said it made for the best snowboarding she had ever done, and while the trek to the lift was tiring, it was all worth it.

“Still the snow kept falling, and it wasn’t long before there was 65cm of fresh powder covering the ground. No vehicles up, no vehicles down.”

Miss Dynes and the rest of the group checked out of their accommodation with nowhere to go.

She said the holiday had been booked with an online agency which sets people living in London up with great holidays to the French Alps. “(They) were great, we received text message updates every few hours – although never with good news – ‘severe delays, will update when we can’, ‘road closed, no way up or down’.”

Fortunately the place the group were staying at did all it could to accommodate them, including making sure they had food and were kept warm.

However, as new arrivals were piling in by the busload – the hostel was rather short on beds.

“Sixty of us were bed-less and sleeping on the floor of the restaurant and the nightclub downstairs. Some had blankets, I did not.

“At 3am I woke up freezing, dressed in all my ski gear, to the noise of busloads of people arriving – they had opened the road and were letting vehicles up.”

She said although the condi-

Former Methven resident Kayla Dynes, had an interesting experience being stuck on a mountain prior to Christmas, so she filled Guardian reporter, Caitlin Porter in on the details.

Right – Kate May (left), Tonya Den Baars (centre) and Kayla Dynes (right), three women from Methven, stuck on the French Alps. “This photo was taken around 4pm when we should have been leaving, snow still falling heavily,” Miss Dynes said.

tions were not the best, the group were lucky not to have left the resort in the early hours of the morning, as those that did leave and travelled to Val d’lsere were unable to move on the snowy roads – resulting in thousands being trapped – some with no food or blankets.

Fortunately, emergency shelters were set up in a dozen locations across the Savoie region and bus companies were updating people about the conditions via Facebook.

“As they say, ‘you can’t help what Mother Nature brings’.

“Our group were hugely thankful for the help and updates (and) even more thankful to land our feet back in London

after the 18-hour bus ride back, although we were no warmer than (we were) in the French Alps,” Kayla said.

With that experience behind her, she is looking forward to spending this year ticking off more things on her bucket list.

Kayla has been overseas since leaving Mid Canterbury in 2011. She spent a year working

in Ireland for a timber project company and said she loved Ireland.

It had a small-country feel and the people were friendly, she said, but it was a small step from New Zealand before the bigger one of finding her feet in London.

“And the Guinness tasted 10 times better than in New Zea-

land,” she joked.

Right now, Kayla works for Encore Relocation Consults, after taking over the job from another Mid Cantabrian.

This year, she will have sister Lucy by her side in the big city too.

“We are counting down the days until Lucy arrives from Australia to join in on the European antics and show her what the Northern side has to offer,” she said.

Then it will be time to head back home to New Zealand for a warm, waterside Christmas and New Year.

“It’s been too long,” she said, “Mum and Nana Mo miss me.”

■ REVEREND ON THE MOVE

West Coast calling

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Reverend David Hastings is bidding farewell to Mid Canterbury – a place he has called home for nearly the past 14 years – and is heading for the coal face on the West Coast.

He has had a busy life – first he ran a printing press, which took him to the Solomon Islands, then he spent three years in Fiji working with the United Bible Societies and amidst all this he attended Theological College at St John in Auckland.

He was the Vicar of Cheviot from 1982 until 1985, of Tahunanui from 1985 to 1991, of Awatere from 1991 until 1995 and Picton from 1995 to 2001.

On top of all of this he was Police Chaplain for 25 years.

He moved to Ashburton with his first wife to take up a job as a Minister Enabler for the Ashburton Anglican Parish.

After retiring in 2005 he then went on to become the pastoral carer for Presby-

terians in Mayfield and Mt Somers for six years.

The highlight of his time in Ashburton, he said, was running the alpha and marriage courses.

The move to Greymouth was one that he and his second wife, Dorothy, had been thinking about for some time.

Reverend Hastings was heading over to Greymouth for four to five weeks every year to relieve for the regular ministers and said the more time he spent there, the more he enjoyed it.

“We got to know all the people and it’s very friendly there,” he said.

When in Greymouth, Reverend Hastings said he plans to relax, but travelling with his wife may be on the cards one day soon.

He is also a keen bowler, and is looking forward to finding a club to play for.

Reverend Hastings and his wife are currently packing up their belongings and will set off for the West Coast next Friday.

■ CELEBRATING AGE

More than 7 decades together

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ernie and Val Ludemann sit quietly in their sunny living room, reflecting on a marriage that has spanned more than seven decades.

They’re one of a growing number of couples who are living into their 90s and who are still leading independent lives.

Ernie is 94 and Val 93. While they moved from country to town 22 years ago, they say they still miss rural life, they’re still farmers at heart.

While Val still enjoys excellent health, Ernie is less robust but as a couple they say they can look back over a life that has given them many good times and many good memories.

They say there are no special secrets to longevity apart from good food and healthy living, but Ernie’s quick to add “we were also well bred”.

Before her marriage Val worked as a dressmaker and has carried her skill with a needle with her into her 90s. Their home has many examples of her beautiful embroidery work on display. One of the downsides of ageing, however for Val is that she finds her hands are not as agile as they were.

“I can’t do it as well anymore and that makes me really frustrated,” she said.

Over the years she’s created many beautiful pieces and made her daughters’ wedding dresses.

“I used to do so much sewing but now my hands don’t want to work. I miss sewing very much.”

Ever the thrifty farmer’s wife, Val was also the family hairdresser but says she gave up cutting Ernie’s hair when he turned 90.

The couple met while they were living in Oamaru. Ernie was a farmer and Val a farmer’s daughter. They married in St Paul’s Church in Oamaru during the early war years.

Ernie spent those years as many farmers did, ensuring the rural economy continued to tick

over. He was on final leave when the war ended.

The Government ran a rehabilitation scheme for returned servicemen, helping them onto farms, but the lack of overseas service meant Ernie and Val

were on their own when it came to buying land.

“I don’t know how we did it, but we managed to buy into a farm at Eiffelton. They were pretty hard those early years on the farm,” Val said.

As a young couple with five children living in an area where they did not have family around them, babysitters were hard to come by.

“We never really went out together for years as we had no

one to look after our children,” she said.

“We used to say our holiday was going away for a day and then staying at home for the night.”

Ernie wasn’t a specialist farmer, he says he did everything that would make money – sheep, cattle, crops, he was the typical mixed farmer of his era.

Most of their farming years were spent in the MayfieldAnama area.

“We had a lovely life, working together on our farm,” Val said.

While he drove the tractor, she was on the back of the drill and they worked side by side with their stock. And it was the same in the house, they shared the dishes and the gardening.

Those busy years on the farm meant there was little time for travel and if she has any regrets, Val says she would like to have seen more of the world.

As it often is for farmers, moving to town doesn’t necessarily mean retirement. Like many men his age Ernie became a rural-urban commuter for several years, keeping in touch with the farm while he built a new life in town.

Moving into a new, modern house in Ashburton was an unbelievable luxury for Val. “Our house on the farm was 100 years old. It had scrim on the walls and it was very cold, but when you’re young and you’re so happy to finally get a farm you put up with it.”

They raised five children and Val said it’s nice to be finally sitting back and having their children run after them.

While many couples their age live in small units, Ernie and Val are happy in their large home.

“People say downsize, but why would you. You still have to have a house to live in,” Val said.

They might be in their 90s, but Ernie and Val still manage a large garden, most of which they have planted and their housework. Their only concession to getting “a bit older” has been to have their lawns mown.

■ TEMPLETON FIRE

Residents evacuated as blaze threatens properties Residents whose homes were evacuated as a blaze spread through a paddock in Canterbury yesterday morning have returned to their properties.

Emergency services were called to the vegetation fire on a property on Wild Rd, near Templeton, about 11.45am yesterday.

Police said Wild Rd was closed between Maddisons Rd and Newtons Rd while the Fire Service worked to contain and extinguish the fire.

Canterbury police were at the scene managing cordons and helping firefighters secure the surrounding scene.

No properties had been dam-

aged or were under immediate threat, but a number of homes in the area were evacuated as a precaution, police said.

Residents were allowed back into their properties by 2.15pm, police said.

A Fire Service command unit was at the scene along with 13 fire trucks and tankers from

Sockburn, Rolleston, Kirwee, Lincoln, Burnham, Dunsandel and Southbridge.

A helicopter equipped with a monsoon bucket was also helping to fight the fire, with the bucket being refilled from private swimming pools in the area.

Emergency services con-

ducted a scene examination to try and determine the cause of the fire after it had been extinguished.

Police said Wild Rd was closed for at least two hours.

Emergency services asked the public to stay away from the area if possible.

A

shburton Art Gallery curator Sharin Khosraviani has spent the past threeand-a-bit years throwing her energy into a flash new gallery that has yet to host an exhibition.

The crisp white walls are bare and the floor is empty. All that hangs in the gallery is the smell of new paint, the smell of new carpet, the smell of new everything.

The emptiness is an opportunity for Ms Khosraviani, a canvas on which to sketch a new future for public art and community exploration in Mid Canterbury.

It is also a metaphor for what it has been like being in charge of a public art gallery whose 500kg, 4.5m wide door remains closed to the public.

“The thing with curators is we actually really want people to visit our galleries, we really want people to enjoy discovering art,” she said.

“So having to wait so long to finally open the gallery, to get people in, it’s been giving us cabin fever.”

The district’s new, $10 million Art Gallery and Heritage Centre is set to open in February, re-

placing the gallery and museum that were once across the way on Baring Square East.

The museum has long-since moved its collection to the new building, shifting its artefacts and archives into purpose-built and eye-wateringly expensive storage behind the new public spaces.

The art gallery was supposed to shift its collection by the end of December, but it stayed put while a series of air-conditioning unit failures was tackled.

Ms Khosraviani says the collection will move into a place with much more potential than the old building, which she loved but which came with many foibles.

Hanging art in the old gallery – a converted council office building – meant knowing where to find the studs and knowing how much weight each wall could take.

In the new gallery, art can be hung anywhere on thick – and high – plywood and plaster walls. Another eight walls can be wheeled between spaces to further grow the gallery.

It has grown in other ways.

To the side of the main, 19.8mlong and 8.4m-wide gallery is a smaller room for “sound and light” exhibitions which the old gallery would have struggled to host.

Behind the scenes, it also has a purpose-built pair of workrooms where work can be acclimatised and prepared for exhibition.

Computers hug a wall and a specially-built table awaits its first painting.

the Heritage Centre – host to the Ashburton Museum – is already chock-full of imagery and life.

Panoramic photographs are set above myriad displays of artefacts, with interactive interfaces and audio-visual aids ready and waiting to greet the first visitors.

“A howling wilderness” is the museum’s first, permanent exhibition and it tells some of the stories of early Mid Canterbury

The displays are a mix of chronology and theme, canvassing everything from preEuropean and early European settlement to decades of farming, entertainment, health and education.

This is far from a static, dusty exhibition. A video tour of Mid Canterbury plays on a loop above an interactive, table-top

about the stories that they are associated do a lot of work

in a series of compact displays.

Museum director Michael Hanrahan says the new exhibition walks through a succession of snapshots of some of the things that have shaped the modern province.

“It is not just about the objects, it is about the stories that they are associated with. Every part

With the push of a button, locally-composed or produced music will play in the entertainments display and water will flow on the well-known and now refurbished, borderdyke irriga-

tion model.

Video screens are dotted about the gallery to provide more information about exhibits, explore more about themes or open the door to more of the museum’s collection.

Touch screens give way to old stereoscopes, with which visitors will catch a glimpse of vintage scenes, and children will be able to dress up in period costume.

At the centre of the room is a wall of photographs of people whose stories help explore some of what helped make Mid Canterbury.

Some of the frames open to reveal artefacts and an information folder will help visitors link each photograph to a story.

At the back of the room is a temporary exhibitions area, where objects from the museum’s thousands-strong collection will be displayed for short periods.

Mr Hanrahan says the new museum uses objects to help tell Mid Canterbury stories and that the massive move ably demonstrated how many stories it held.

This is obvious in the museum’s storerooms, which run nearly

the length of the whole ground floor of the building.

Dozens of over-sized objects – furniture, butter-churns, implements, shop signs, you name it – sit on pallets and hundreds more objects and clothes line the $249,000 moveable storage system.

A second large storage area is home to still more moveable storage, this time lined with archive material, while a bank of specially-made cabinets, donated by an anonymous local benefactor, look after the centre’s historic maps.

Photos and negatives are stored in another, climate-controlled room.

The storage areas are near a preparatory workshop, offices and the research room, where people can access historic documents and even read old newspapers on a state-of-the-art $20,000 film and fiche reader.

Mr Hanrahan says back-ofhouse functions reinforce the centre as a place of shared heritage. He hopes the research it will support will help grow the story of Mid Canterbury.

“I hope it will surprise people.”

In brief Raids in Sydney Police have carried out a series of anti-terror raids in southwest Sydney. The Joint Counter Terrorism Team Sydney said a number of search warrants were executed as part of Operation Duntulm yesterday morning. The AFP did not provide any more details about the “investigative operation” but said further details would be provided in due course.

Operation Duntulm focuses on foreign incursion offences. - AAP

Google down, Yahoo up Google saw its share of the US internet search market slip to its lowest ever mark, while Yahoo notched its highest share in five years, an independent analytics firm says. In December, Google handled 75.2 per cent of US online search referrals, down from 79.3 per cent a year earlier. That score is its lowest since 2008, when StatCounter started tracking the data. Google nevertheless remains the US leader in the search market by a wide margin, ahead of Microsoft’s Bing at 12.5 per cent and Yahoo at 10.4 per cent - its highest score since 2009.

Thousands in manhunt

By RichaRd caRteR France has deployed tens of thousands of security forces in the hunt for two brothers accused of killing 12 people in an Islamist attack on satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The manhunt came as the head of Britain’s domestic spy agency, MI5, warned that Islamist militants were planning other “mass casualty attacks against the West” and that intelligence services may be powerless to stop them.

The attacks have sparked a global outpouring of tributes and solidarity.

US President Barack Obama was the latest to sign a book of condolence with the message “Vive la France!” as thousands gathered in Paris on a day of national mourning to honour the dead.

In the rural Aisne region northeast of Paris, elite armed police and paramilitary forces backed by helicopters searched a wooded area near where the fugitives had earlier robbed a petrol station and abandoned their getaway car following Wednesday’s shooting in the capital.

The brothers were thought

to have carried out the attack in revenge for the weekly’s repeated publication of cartoons mocking Prophet Mohammed.

Around 24 hours into the manhunt, the brothers were identified after holding up the petrol station 80 kilometres from Paris, before fleeing again, possibly on foot and still armed with at least a Kalashnikov, police said.

Special police units rushed to the scene, where a maximum security alert was declared.

Officers in heavy black bulletproof vests searched outbuildings, rifles at the ready, under the nervous eyes of local residents.

“I live near the woods,” said village resident Roseline, a grandmother. “I’m afraid.

Night is falling and they could be hiding nearby.”

Islamic State, the militant group sowing terror across swathes of Iraq and Syria, hailed the brothers as “heroes” on its Al-Bayan radio station.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced that 88,000 security forces had been mobilised and that an international meeting on terrorism would take place in Paris tomorrow.

Arrest warrants were issued for Cherif Kouachi, 32, a known jihadist convicted in 2008 for involvement in a network sending fighters to Iraq, and his 34-year-old brother Said.

Both were born in Paris to Algerian parents and were orphaned at an early age.

A senior US administration official said one of the two brothers was believed to have trained with al-Qaeda in Yemen while another source said the pair had been on a US terror watch list “for years”.

The brothers were both flagged in a US database as terror suspects, and also on the no-fly list, meaning they were barred from flying into the US, the officials said.

Cazeneuve meanwhile said nine people had been detained as part of the operation.

Mourad Hamyd, an 18-yearold suspected of being an accomplice in the attack, handed himself in, police sources said.

It was not clear what role, if any, he may have played in the attack.

As the dramatic chase unfolded, bells tolled across France at midday yesterday and people gathered outside

the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo in pouring rain with banners reading “Je Suis Charlie” (I am Charlie).

The same sign has featured in vigils around the world, from Australia to the US. Several thousand people gathered later in Paris for a second night in tribute to those killed as the Eiffel Tower dimmed its lights.

Television footage showed children at a Muslim school in the northern city of Lille holding up sheets of paper emblazoned “not in my name”.

Charlie Hebdo reporter Laurent Leger, who miraculously survived the bloodbath by hiding under a table, gave the first eyewitness account from inside the office.

“I saw a masked man, I saw a lot of blood, I saw half the editorial team on the ground,” he told France Info radio.

“I saw horror.”

Meanwhile, several other incidents rocked the jittery nation including the fatal shooting of a policewoman just south of Paris.

Two Muslim places of worship were fired at, prosecutors said, although no casualties were reported.

Signals from the black box data recorders of crashed AirAsia Flight QZ8501 have been detected.

“A ship detected the pings. The divers are trying to reach it,” senior search official SB Supriyadi, who is stationed at the search headquarters of Pangkalan Bun., said yesterday. “The location of the ping is reported to be near where the tail was found,” he added.

Higher risk of HIV Women who use a specific type of injectable birth control have a slightly higher risk of HIV infection than those who take the pill, a study says. While the authors noted the link was “statistically significant”, they warned it was not enough on its own to justify a complete withdrawal of the drug commonly known by its brand name, Depo-Provera, used by millions of women. The health risks of pulling the medicine from shelves may far outweigh the potential preventable HIV infections, the authors argued in a paper published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

Capsize kills three A catamaran carrying nearly 100 tourists and 10 crew capsized and sank within minutes off Costa Rica, leaving three elderly foreigners dead while rescuers saved dozens from the choppy seas. The victims were identified as a 68-year-old American woman, a Canadian woman, 70, and an 80-year-old British man, said Vice-President Ana Helena Chacon, as survivors described harrowing tales of how they were tipped into the waters.

Chacon said 99 tourists and 10 crew were on the pleasure cruise when it foundered off the Pacific coast.

She said 106 were rescued and nobody was missing, as previously reported. Survivors told local media the catamaran capsized due to powerful winds and that the ship rapidly sank.

The New Zealand National Sevens are next weekend in Rotorua and then Super 15 preseason matches get under way in the lead up to the competition kick-off on February 13. And the season won’t end until the Rugby World Cup in England starting in September, and finishing at Twickenham on October 31.

Titles elude Ellis, Christie

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Lauren Ellis had to settle for third as her track team-mate Jaime Nielsen successfully defended her women’s time trial title at the Elite Road Cycling championships in Lincoln yesterday.

Nielsen’s halfway split had her 11 seconds ahead of Commonwealth Games gold medallist Linda Villumsen and she went on to win by over a minute.

Nielsen clocked the 25km course in 35.03 minutes with Villumsen 1.11mins back and a

further 49 seconds back to Ellis.

In the men’s event Jason Christie came in fourth while another former under 23 champion, Michael Vink claimed the title, the increasing strength of the head wind played into the hands of the early riders.

Vink, a three-time winner of the national under-23 honours, was sixth out of the start gate and clocked a time of 49.24 over the 40km distance.

Christie’s Avanti racing teammate and 2013 winner Joe Cooper, was 13 seconds slower to claim second.

Patrick Bevan, who rode out prior to Vink, was third 32 second slower with Christie 1.17 minutes behind Vink. Defending champion Taylor Gunman was eighth after being the unlucky 13th and final man to hit the road.

James Oram took the under 23 men’s title.

Ellis and the other elite women are back on the bike today for the 120km road race, encompassing eight laps and six climbs of Dyers Pass.

Defending champion Rushlee Buchanan won’t be on the start

line leaving Ellis, Nielsen and Villumsen all chasing a maiden road race title, with 2013 champion Courtney Lowe also a contender.

Nielsen will go in as the prerace favourite after a storming win in the Tour de Vineyards last week, where she won all five stages.

The elite men’s race on Sunday is set to be another battle of attrition over the ten testing climbs up Dyers Pass in the 183km race with the absence of four time winner and defending champion Hayden Roulston.

Maddison Trophy bowls Hinds Bowling Club hosts the Maddison Trophy Open Fours.

12.30pm start.

The week that was: # The Donaldson twins, Hugh and George, are in Peru for the Junior World Waterskiing Championships. # Sandra Keith qualified for post section play in all three disciplines at the National Bowls Open in Auckland but was unable to claim another national title. # Defending champion Hayden Roulston was a late withdrawal from the Elite Men’s National Road Race championship. # Eight Mid Canterbury juniors are involved in national age group tennis championships in the coming fortnight.

Wozniacki through to Classic final

Caroline Wozniacki had to work hard to make the final.

Caroline Wozniacki is into the ASB Classic final, but was tested to the limit

by Barbora Zahlavova- Strycova.

The Dane was at one stage down a set and a break, before fighting back to win 4-6 6-3 6-4.

The Czech player put in an amazing effort, in a match that stretched more than two and a half hours. She defended an incredible 13 break points during the first set alone, including eight in the sixth game when leading 3-2.

Wozniacki made some errors for some of them but most were saved by pinpoint serving or clutch volleys.

The sixth game lasted for 12 deuces and it was a key game mentally. Wozniacki kept fighting but seemed to lose focus; she had Zahlavova-Strycova at 0-40, 3-4 but again couldn’t convert and soon the set was gone.

Wozniacki had to come back and did.

After the players traded breaks at the beginning of the second set, Wozniacki broke the Czech midway through the set and held on.

There was only one break in the final set but it was enough, and the Dane held on to book her place in the - NZH final.

■ SHOOTING

In brief

Giving it their best shot

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Local shooters are set to take aim at the New Zealand Rifle Association’s National Championships at next week.

John and Coby Snowden, John Fleming and Brian Hawksby are making the annual pilgrimage to Trentham for the nationals starting with the Wellington Championships tomorrow to get their eye in for a big week.

The North v South Island match takes place on Monday then the Macefield Belt, seven shot matches at 300, 500 and 600 yards and 10 shot matches at 800 and 900 yards, on Tuesday.

On Wednesday it’s down to business as the pursuit of the coveted Ballinger Belt begins with only 15 shooters set to showdown for the prize in the Queens Final on the Saturday afternoon.

John Snowden’s 20 year pursuit of the prize came to fruition in 2013 but he joined the long list of winners unable to defend the title finishing seventh, while Te Puke’s Diane Collings collected her third belt win (previously winning in 1981 and 1987).

The nationals have only been won in consecutive years once, by Captain Wales of Otago in 187172, and since then the champion belt - which became known as the Ballinger Belt in 1908 has found a new owner every year.

It took Snowden 20 years of trying to win it the first time so he knows it is a hard task, but is hoping not to wait as long for his second title.

The first obstacle is qualifying for the final, w3hich has done for the last 15 years, when the crunch comes with 15 shots from 900 yards.

However, being a cumulative score a good lead built over the lead up to Saturday by any shooter can be enough to make the final just a formality.

France’s professional football league said that a minute’s silence will also be observed at all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches this weekend. French rugby’s governing body the FFR also asked that a minute’s silence be observed before all matches this weekend. - AFP

Flanagan is rolling the dice again with another infamous playmaker whose off-field antics could make or break the club.

Nagas to play Nines Canberra have confirmed that 41-year-old former premiership player Ken Nagas will be named in the Raiders’ Auckland Nines squad for the end of month tournament. The Raiders said Nagas is training with the side, the club making application to the NRL for him to participate in the tournament.

With other 40-somethings Brad Fittler and Steve Menzies turning out at last year’s inaugural nines, Nagas said he was looking forward to pulling on the green jumper again.

“I’m really excited about being back in training and hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to play for the Raiders again,” Nagas said.

the States on a three-month tourist visa but needs to secure the paperwork that would allow him to work before he can formally link up with a team.

A reciprocal agreement between the US and Australian governments allows citizens to acquire working visas once an employer has been found and this is what Hayne is waiting for - indicating he has found a team.

San Francisco 49ers and the

Lions were the franchises reported to have shown the most interest in signing Hayne to a futures/reserve contract.

This would allow him the chance to try and force his way onto a team’s 90-man off-season training camp in July if can impress coaches in off-season minicamp starting in April.

Hayne’s name wasn’t on the Lions’ futures list released earlier this week but Mayhew con-

firmed during his end-of-season media conference that the former Parramatta and NSW fullback is on their radar.

“We’re always on the lookout for players that can help us,” Mayhew said.

“We’ve had other guys in who we’ve taken a look at, taken an extensive look at.

“Jarryd Hayne falls in that category. He’s a guy we want to evaluate.”

Lehmann didn’t lay the blame for Smith’s dropped chance on Spidercam. “I think it’s good for the game.” Lehmann said. “I actually like watching it.

Smith stars yet again as Australia

By RoB FoRsaith It was a tale of two captains at the SCG yesterday, when Australia raced to a 348-run lead at stumps on day four of the fourth Test.

Steve Smith, wanting quick runs on a slow pitch that had started to turn, calmly peeled off 71 from 70 balls to spark what had been a tepid contest.

In doing so, Smith pushed his side to a total of 6-251 off 40 overs and also

lifted his own series tally to 769 runs.

Don Bradman, Mark Taylor and Neil Harvey are the only Australians to have enjoyed a more productive Test series with the bat.

This was not about personal milestones though.

Smith struck a sweetly-timed six off Ravichandran Ashwin, belittling the offspinner who had been a handful from the moment he was handed the new ball and dismissed David Warner.

The 25-year-old passed 50 after 44 balls when he boldly opted to reverse sweep Ashwin, who also removed Shane Watson, Shaun Marsh and Joe Burns.

Smith was denied a fifth century in the series by Mohammed Shami, but Burns and Brad Haddin teed off in style - their 86-run partnership coming at 9.92 runs an over.

Schmack and Tom Middelton.

Meanwhile the Mid Canterbury year 6 team had a win over Canterbury Country Invitational before losses to Christchurch Metro McCullum, Canterbury Country South and Canterbury Country North at Mandeville.

Rotation is in for New Zealand in their seven-game ODI series against Sri Lanka starting tomorrow.

First to step aside, temporarily, are senior batsman Ross Taylor and seamer Tim Southee as New Zealand look to do two things - not overdo players in the leadup to the World Cup, starting on February 14 against the same opponents, and give all players plenty of game time to hone their skills.

With veteran seamer Kyle Mills still getting himself back up to full fitness, it guarantees that Adam Milne, Trent Boult and Mitch McClenaghan will start the series, and therefore get first dibs on pressing their credentials for the cup opener.

Cup squad reject Matt Henry has joined the squad as cover this weekend.

“It’s just not feasible to play one XI through all these matches,” batting coach Craig McMillan said yesterday.

“It’s important we give all squad members an opportunity to perform and certainly there will be players who will be performing a role in these matches that they’ll be expected to do at World Cup time.”

McMillan said although Southee was resting a slight hamstring issue, “you’ll find most have niggles”.

“It’s part and parcel of being a professional cricketer.

“There’s very few players at bang on 100 per cent. It’s about maintenance”.

It is expected Tom Latham or Grant Elliott will be sharing No 5 duties, in captain Brendon McCullum’s former role.

As for the skipper, who is back at the top of the order - alongside Martin Guptill, with whom he has a good opening record - a glance at the statistics might give him an extra jab of incentive.

While he averages 33 in all ODIs, McCullum is going at a less than ordinary 17 in 23 matches against the Sri Lankans.

Given that New Zealand face the

NZ V SRI LANKA Christchurch, 11am tomorrow New Zealand: (from) Brendon McCullum (c), Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Corey Anderson, Tom Latham, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi, Dan Vettori, Nathan McCullum, Mitch McClenaghan, Adam Milne, Trent Boult.

Sri Lanka: (from) Angelo Mathews (c), Tillekaratne Dilshan, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Jeevan Mendis, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Sachithra Senanayake, Dhammika Prasad, Shaminda Eranga.

Sri Lankans in the cup opener, and doubtless desperate to get their campaign off on the right foot, they are unlikely to show all the cards in this series.

The New Zealand players will be watched closely in pressure situations over the next few weeks.

Trying to mimic what might happen at the crunch time in the cup is all part of the preparation.

Sri Lanka are bolstered by champion batsman Mahela Jayawardene, who retires from international cricket after the cup, dashing opener Tillekaratne Dilshan and big-hitting allrounder Thisara Perera for the series.

Star seamer Lasith Malinga, getting over ankle surgery, is unlikely to be sighted before at least game four in Nelson on January 20.

Sri Lanka are a formidable one-day outfit, invariably fighting hard at the sharp end of big events. New Zealand should get a quality workout.

However, while seven ODIs against Sri Lanka, then two more against Pakistan at the end of this month is a solid run-in, if you were to tailor your leadup, fewer games against one team and perhaps three against another side might be preferable.

The schedule means there can be no excuses for getting caught short on February 14.

ing ovation from some of the SCG members for unsuccessfully using his foot to stop a ball racing to the rope, having failed to reel in a diving catch.

The 26-year-old smiled, showing the sort of temperament that was lacking three years ago when he was fined at the same venue for showing the middle finger to the crowd.

He will need more than that today, with 288 being the record for a successful run-chase in an SCG Test. - AAP

In brief Nicholson defecting?

New Zealand’s top equestrian star Andrew Nicholson is considering a switch in allegiance to Britain following a fall-out with Equestrian Sport NZ. The Herald on Sunday revealed in November Nicholson had asked to be withdrawn from this year’s high performance squad after a disagreement over the handling of his horse Nereo following the difficult crosscountry phase at the World Equestrian Games in France escalated into a stand-off with the national body. Nicholson’s self-imposed exile from the New Zealand team led to several pleas from equestrian observers for Nicholson to consider competing for other countries.

Mourinho charged Jose Mourinho was charged with misconduct by the Football Association after the Chelsea manager made a series of controversial comments about match officials. Mourinho responded to the charge by withdrawing from his scheduled weekly press conference yesterday.

The Chelsea manager claimed there is a “clear campaign by people, pundits, commentators and coaches from other teams” against Chelsea and labelled the booking of Cesc Fabregas for diving in a 1-1 draw at Southampton on December 28 as a “scandal”.

Sheikh backs Blatter The head of the Olympic Council of Asia, one of the continent’s most powerful sports officials, says he will back Sepp Blatter for another term as FIFA president rather than his “brother” Prince Ali bin Al Hussein of Jordan. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah of Kuwait told Fairfax Media that he felt Blatter had earned the right to extend his tenure to a fifth term.

Sturridge still out Brendan Rodgers has no intention of gambling on the fitness of Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge at Sunderland overnight. Sturridge spent the Christmas and New Year period in the United States continuing treatment on a troublesome calf injury that has sidelined him since the end of August. With Liverpool having struggled for much of Sturridge’s absence, it was thought Rodgers may have been tempted to put the England international straight back into his squad.

Blues sunk early As one wag joked on Twitter, it’s a new record for the Blues ... normally they’re not sunk until after the season has started.

Members of the team had to be rescued yesterday after three waka ama they were training in became swamped off Auckland’s Takapuna beach. The players had planned to kayak to Rangitoto Island and climb to the top, announcing their plans on Twitter.

But soon after the team tweeted: “The team’s Rangitoto paddle and run ended up with three submerged waka and an immediate response from nearby craft. Everybody is safe, team in high spirits.

Special thanks to Harbourmaster, the police and coastguard for their assistance.”

Beale still a Waratah Kurtley Beale has ended months of speculation by re-signing with the NSW Waratahs and Australian Rugby Union for another year. The retention is a huge boost for Waratahs and Wallabies coach Michael Cheika, who will have the star playmaker available for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in Britain.

Beale’s future in Australian rugby was in serious jeopardy following his in-flight clash with former Wallabies business manager Di Patston in September.

Tough road for sevens side

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury sevens squad returned to training this week to blow out the cobwebs before next weekend’s Nationals Sevens Tournament in Rotorua.

Mid Canterbury will meet Manawatu, Auckland and Otago in pool play on day one in Rotorua.

The Hammers will attempt to punch above their weight, but may well end up scrapping it out with fellow Heartland sides

Wairarapa Bush, Horowhenua Kapiti and South Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury’s lone win in the 2014 tournament was over Poverty Bay - who were the only other Heartland team to qualify - before being well beaten by Waikato 7-29 in the shield final.

They had lost to Taranaki, North Harbour and Canterbury in pool play.

Unfortunately coach Mark Cousins will be without the experienced Jon Dampney and Will Mackenzie, and Richard

Catherwood is carrying a knee injury which has him in doubt for the tournament.

Brenton Connell, Chris Crichton and Seta Koroitamana are Cousins’ strike weapons in the team, and will be relied on heavily to produce the points.

Cousins will need to finalise his squad early next week with Mid Canterbury to have just two further training sessions before travelling north.

Meanwhile 10 teams will all get a good hit-out this weekend

at the Provincial Sevens Tournament held in Mount Maunganui.

Defending champions Auckland, national champions Wellington and eight more powerhouse teams including locals Bay of Plenty and Mark Jackman’s Canterbury will bid to take bragging rights into the nationals.

At the nationals Canterbury has drawn Bay of Plenty, South Canterbury and Counties Manukau.

Grey power to the fore on the bowling green

By Lindsay knight Bowlers in a more mature age bracket prevailed over youth when Cynthia Adams skipped her Wanganui composite four to an exciting extra end win over the composite lineup skipped by Petone’s Tanya Wheeler in the national women’s fours final yesterday.

And there could have been no one more appropriate than Adams, aged 73, in emphasising the

point that in bowls, as in everything else, there is still a place for experience.

When she is not playing bowls Adams as secretary and her husband as president run the Wanganui branch of Grey Power, of which there are 1800 members.

With 70 centre titles among them, Adams and her line-up of Dot Belliss, Glenis Pidwell and Pam Burgess snatched a win from Wheeler’s four, just when it seemed they were about to lose.

When Webster’s three, Dale Rayner, played a great shot on the 16th end to take the score to 16-12 the match appeared over.

But the Wanganui four gained a two on the 17th, another two on the 18th to make the score 16-all and so force the extra end.

Again Wheeler was holding but with her last bowl Adams drew the winner and though it was some way past the jack Wheeler, with her last, was too heavy.

Belliss is the sister-in-law of

Peter, who on the adjacent rink was intent on winning his own title, but seemed just as delighted with the success of Dot and her team as his own.

With their dramatic win the Wanganui women dashed what might have been a historic feat

by Wheeler’s lead, Ashleigh Jeffcoat, who is only 15 and a pupil at Hamilton Girls’ High School.

Had she won she would have become the youngest ever national champion, men or women.- NZH

Bailie denied by red flag

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s teenage motorcycling ace Bailie Perriton thought he had made the perfect start on his 600cc bike in the New Zealand Superbike Series at the Ruapuna track yesterday.

Perriton led the way in Supersport qualifying to sit on pole for race one, clocking a full second faster lap than his nearest rival.

He then managed to maintain the front mark and take the opening chequered flag of the series – or so he thought.

The red flag was shown by the marshals for debris with the race called after four laps despite having run to its conclusion.

By the finish Perriton had regained the lead he had earlier lost to James Hoogenboezem for what he thought was a dream debut.

However, it was Hoogenboezem who took the win as he had held the lead on lap four.

It was a minor setback, with Perriton on pace to push for his maiden 600cc victory in either today’s two races or tomorrow’s two – with race five doubling as the New Zealand GP title race.

The other bad news on the day was Perriton no longer owns

Ricky May had a superb day at the office yesterday, bringing home five winners on the 11-race Nelson card. He was successful with Arizona Atom, Usain Colt, Monbet, Chattanoogachoochoo and Eva Sophnally, and they were all trained by Greg and Nina Hope at Woodend. Just to keep it local, Terry Chmiel reined home Franco Tevez, Danny Del Vito and That Guy Finn.

Michael Moroney has a Group One decision to make with his New Zealand-bred three-yearold Merion. The Flemington trainer has targeted the Gr.3 CS Hayes Stakes on February 21 for the O’Reilly gelding’s return as a pipe-opener to a sterner test. Moroney has yet to decide whether Merion will run in the Australian Guineas at Flemington or in the Randwick Guineas. This year, both features will be run on March 7.

Aiming for the Oaks

ning the 250 production championship.

Andrew Rudd qualified fifth in the Superlite race and then

finished sixth in race one, and Lewis Dray qualified and then finished fifth in the 125GP event.

Stars In Align will step up in grade next time out in pursuit of a classic start. The Stephen Marsh-trained filly broke her maiden at Rotorua on Thursday following four successive placings. The Gr.3 McKee Family Sunline Vase at Ellerslie on March 4 is likely to be on Stars In Align’s programme with the Gr.1 Wellfield New Zealand Oaks at Trentham 10 days later her autumn target.

■ OPINION

hile all the cricket focus in the next couple of months will be on the World Cup, and everybody’s ‘dark horse’ (that’s New Zealand), the best competition going is in currently full swing.

Across the ditch the KFC Big Bash is getting down to the sharp end, and with a game on the telly every night there’s certainly no time for anyone to get bored with the lack of action.

While the completely-abbreviated game started off as the new hit-and-giggle version of real cricket, it has developed at rocket speed to be the dominant form, at least as far as excitement, fan participation and rapid-fire entertainment goes, with leagues in progress almost constantly somewhere around the globe.

But the one in progress is the best, and that’s even counting the mega-dollar IPL. Almost every night a cliffhanger contest eventuates, and while the odd one is result-obvious with seven overs to go, most games see an absorbing contest between bat and ball, as both

Ashburton Guardian 25

sides go for gold with the clock always ticking.

Invariably there’s a match-up similar to Boult v Sangakkara in the second test last week, where a superb bowler is trying all his tricks to upset an equally worldclass batsman. In that test it went Sangakkara’s way, but only after several hours of intense battle with Boult, who blinked first and Sangakkara charged on to his double ton.

But with the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Brad Hodge, Kieran Pollard, Shaun Tait, Ryan ten Doeschate, Andrew Flintoff, Darren Sammy, Aaron Finch, Dwayne Bravo, Mike Hussey, Luke Wright, Brett Lee and Jacques Kallis on show, that sort of scrap is going to happen on a regular basis.

It’s a whole lot more interest if you follow a particular team, and I’ve been a Scorchers fan for a long time (yeah, way before they won the thing last year!)

I’ve always admired their coach Justin Langer; in his playing days he was a pugnacious and successful little opener, sort of Bruce Edgar on steroids, and the team, full of none of

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

the above superstars, follows his tradition of scrapping hard for every run, every wicket, and they achieve results that often halfway through the game they have no right to achieve. Why strike bowler Jason Behrendorff isn’t in at least two Aussie squads is a mystery; it illustrates the incredible depth they have in that department right now.

They have Hoggy, who is moving well into middle age, but still has the ability to swing a match in a couple of overs, as he proved (twice) last week when his team was on the ropes.

As you would expect from all this superstar talent on show there’s been some magnificent shots, but the best shot of the tournament so far was actually in the comm box.

The Big Show (Glenn Maxwell) came out to bat and every-

one shifted in their seats, gearing up for the inevitable fireworks show. Maxwell concentrated on the bowler, lifted his bat high, and left it up there for his first warm-up delivery - except that it swung back in (as the previous couple had done if he’d been taking note) and smashed into his middle stump, cartwheeling the sticks all over the shop.

The real action was upstairs though, as Gilchrist and Fleming were caught by the camera in looks of shock, sheer horror and absolute disbelief, mouths agape and hands frozen in the air, a beautiful moment, definitely the shot of the day.

Since that one the camera has often gone to the comm box on big moments, but after that occasion the guys are aware that their reactions are on show, and it looks more like Simon Cowell pretending he’s never seen or heard the latest singing sensation in front of him before.

Apart from that, they are a great team (yes, even if they’re Aussies) adding the required information, fun and entertainment to a great competition.

In Style is to be given her opportunity to complete a Group One sprint double. Trainer Danica Guy has confirmed her Railway Stakes winner will contest the J & N Berkett Telegraph on January 17. Guy will hold a powerful hand in the race with Tomorrowland, the winner of his last three starts, also in the Trentham feature.

Both sprinters are by the former Waikato Stud resident Fast ‘N’ Famous.

Butchery back

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The day of the boutique butcher shop is returning to Ashburton, with a new meat retailer opening in Tinwald.

Evans Quality Meats has set up business in a premises that for more than 60 years was the heart of the meat trade in the southern suburb, bringing the number of specialist butcher shops in Ashburton to three.

The new player in the district’s meat business is operating from what was for about 60 years, the home of the Tinwald Butchery. It closed in August 2013, the last in a string of butchery closures that dropped numbers over a decade from 11 to just two.

But owner Andrew Evans believes the boutique butchery is on the comeback.

He’s also a farmer and will be provid-

ing the shop with grain fed beef and free range pork from his Wakanui farm.

Lamb and chicken will be sourced locally.

Mr Evans might be the owner but Bryan Durry, a local butcher with decades of experience will be the man behind the counter. He’s enthusiastic about the new shop.

“We’re keeping this as a traditional butchery, giving people a quality alternative,” Mr Durry said.

Yes, it’s a competitive market out there with supermarkets in the mix, but competition is good for the customer, he said.

“This is about keeping it traditional, keeping it local and about having the personal touch. You can’t get more local than taking it from the Wakanui farm Bryan Durry behind the counter of Ashburton’s newest butchery, Evans Meats in and into the Tinwald shop.”

tance when making investment decisions, instead preferring advice from friends and family, information obtained from the internet, or the use of their own judgement.

Some now argue that an unintended consequence of regulatory complexity, which was intended to protect consumers from their advisers (and perhaps themselves), is a preference for investors to totally shun professional investment advice.

This phenomenon has been observed in many countries (including New Zealand), but is not very well understood.

As the Australian Centre for Financial Studies recently succinctly said “… very few people would undertake their own root canal treatment, but the consequences of getting that wrong are potentially less serious than undertaking an inappropriate investment strategy.”

The number of authorised financial advisers in New Zealand (those licensed to provide personalised advice) now totals 1881; a number which is much lower than what was antici-

pated when the new regulatory environment was conceived.

An unintended consequence of the new regulatory environment may well be fewer investment professionals available to provide advice; with fewer New Zealanders wishing to enlist their services.

As New Zealand’s population ages and the volume of funds invested in KiwiSaver increases, the demand for professional financial advice ought to be also increasing, with a corresponding increase in the number of investment professionals available to provide that advice.

While the recent buoyancy of capital markets globally may well have cheapened the perceived value of professional investment advice in the eyes of some, it was Warren Buffet who sagely observed, “it’s only when the tide goes out [that] you discover who’s been swimming naked”.

Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable holiday season.

he concept of economic unintended consequences arises from the phenomenon that when people intervene in complex systems (natural or man-made), the intervention can have effects beyond those that were intended, often creating unforeseen, or unforeseeable outcomes.

A famous example of this was provided by US Economist Sam Peltzman in 1975. Peltzman achieved recognition for what is now known as the “Peltzman Effect”, by illustrating the tendency of individuals to respond to safety regulations by engaging in more dangerous behaviour.

In Peltzman’s study, while the anticipated regulatory outcome of mandatory seat-belt wearing was a safer motoring environment, the actual real-world outcome peculiarly proved to be the opposite, (ie more roadrelated fatalities).

In the world of investment advice, it’s still unclear whether or not the weight of new regulation applying to the provision of investment advice, has made the world of investing any safer for those wishing to grow their capital or supplement their income.

In the tightly regulated US market, a recent Investor and Retirement survey by Wells Fargo-Gallup revealed that over half of survey respondents don’t seek professional assis-

OUR VIEW

What is safe to think?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he murderous terrorist attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo had little to do with faith and everything to do with the supposed supremacy of a singular world view over liberty and freedom.

People were killed for doing their job. Writers and cartoonists were selected and executed for publishing opinions; a police officer was killed for trying to stop the murderers getting away.

The murders were apparently to avenge the magazine’s treatment of the Prophet Mohammed. Their lampooning of a religious figure was enough to get them shot.

Among the spontaneous social-media responses was the Twitter hashtag #JeSuisCharlie” (I am Charlie). It appeared yesterday in a cartoon penned by our regular cartoonist Mike Moreu, who joined cartoonists everywhere to stand against the attack on life and freedom.

If the attack was supposed to incite and grab headlines, it worked. But if it was meant to instil fear into those with the courage to write what they believe, it must fail.

It must fail in Europe and here because self-censorship and curbs on lawful expression erode democracy. They let bad things happen and leave good people to suffer.

Former New Zealand politician Derek Fox this week wrote “power cultures liked to use the old chestnut of freedom of speech” when ridiculing others.

Charlie Hebdo’s editor believed he could insult with impunity and death was the price of his arrogance, he said.

These observations are easily made here, a country with its own problems but still free from extremism and well-organised groups of murderous hate.

They are easily made where people are free to believe what they want, and to say what they want within the generous limits of our human rights and the law.

An Ashburton lawyer holidaying in France yesterday said the attack seemed like an “attempt to stop you guys (journalists) talking to us about what you feel”.

From the comfort of Mid Canterbury, it seemed a horrifying attempt to tell a disbelieving world what is safe to think.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Should people be warned or fined if caught ignoring water restrictions?

Warned 50%

Fined 50%

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

ntarctica is often associated with the colour white: white ice, white snow, whiteout. In fact, there are a whole spectrum of colours that belong to the continent, if only you know where to look.

Red is the colour of passion, and several of the seven states with a territorial claim to the Antarctic remain passionate about their national links with the southern continent. Red adorns the walls of the Argentinian bases and appears on the union flag that flies outside Port Lockroy, the British Post Office.

When you realise that Chile, Argentina and the UK all have overlapping claims to the Antarctic Peninsula, the boldness of this red takes on a new dimension.

Red and orange also belong in the fiery sunsets of the south. Travel past the polar circle at 66 degrees and you’ll have just one day and one night, but enjoy a lingering sunset that lasts for weeks, shading from golden salmon through to embers of fire.

For purple, one needs only to follow the sunset to its final stages, then look to the famous fathers whose colonies dot the inland iceshelves as they huddle against winter: the beak of an emperor penguin is marked by a rich violet stripe.

That beak fasts throughout the months of darkness, as the birds incubate their eggs on their feet and wait for the return of their mates in the spring.

Pink makes an appearance too: it marks the guano of all animals that eat krill, that food chain staple guzzled by penguins, seals and whales alike.

The pinker the deposits, the more plentiful the krill, and the healthier the oceans.

Green can be found in those oceans as well, with phytoplankton blooms providing nourishment for the krill. On land, green appears in the snow algae and the two native plants.

For those lucky enough to spend a winter on the continent, green is also the colour of the aurora australis, the southern lights that dance across the darkened skies.

Finally, there is blue. In the Antarctic, there are not enough words to describe the many shades that exist; from

the sky, to the sea, to the ice, to the shadows, to the sheen on a whale’s back as it rises to take a breath.

There is the rich cobalt that shines out from within glacial cracks, and the luminous turquoise on the underside of icebergs.

There is the powder blue

of a crisp, clear day, and the ruddy grey smudge where sea meets sky away on the misty horizon.

Just as white light is made up of all the colours of the spectrum, the white continent of Antarctica is also made up of a whole rainbow of colours and life.

HOLI

AN ADVERTISING FEATURE

Keeping the kids happy over summer break For most Mid Cantabrians the relaxing Christmas break is over but with children still on school holidays parents/ caregivers may be looking for things for the kids to do.

If you are over the kids watching movies, colouring in and drawing or just hanging about the house get them out and about on an adventure. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, be ready for it!

Plan some scavenger hunts where you make a list of objects and kids in teams have to find them.

They either collect a sample of each item and place into supermarket bags, or for bigger kids take a ‘selfie’ photo of themselves with the item.

If they collect all the items they have done well but the team that collects all the items in the quickest time is the winner. A prize could be to choose what is on the menu for tea, it doesn’t have to be a takeaway meal either it could be the difference between spaghetti or baked beans.

Another adventure is to put together a treasure hunt by putting together some little clues – easy clues to guess for the wee ones, but harder clues for the older children.

The clues should take the kids around a defined area: like

the garden or a space at the domain.

Each clue leads the children closer to the treasure, which could be represented by a cross.

The little ones can do as one team, but the older children can aim to win the treasure.

However, they should be prepared to share the spoils, which could be any special treat or activity.

For more structured events

around town, the Ashburton Public Library’s ‘Read and Grow’ holiday initiative continues until January 21, 2015.

There is a get together for all entrants at the library on January 22 at 10.30am to “celebrate their success”.

The Tinwald Domain Pool is open from midday until 7pm. It opens daily until further notice.

The outdoor complex offers swimmers the chance enjoy

Come along during the school holidays and enjoy this fantastic facility.

Guaranteed fun!!

swimming outside during in summer in a safe environment.

The pool temperature has an average temperature of 29degreesC. The Ashburton Community Pool is open to the public.

The giant inflatable for climbing over goes up in the main pool from 2pm – 4pm each day.

Base Youth Centre reopens its doors on January 19th. It will be open weekdays be-

tween 1pm and 6pm.

There are plans to hold an event at the Ashburton Skatepark, on East Street where the team will run a barbeque and spot prizes, but its weather dependent.

However, a sign will be posted up at the youth centre when this takes place.

And the Flight for Life kite extravaganza is on again at Lake Hood on January 31.

It is a free event but is raising money for St John. The kite display will feature kites of all shapes and sizes, including giant teddy bears, octopus’ tigers and whales. It runs from 11am to 5pm.

And remember there is always room to plan a picnic and spend time in the Ashburton Domain: it has a playground area, padding pool, a flying fox, an avery, expansive gardens, giant trees and ducks – happy for bread scraps.

There are also walks/track close to town like the Braided Waters/Lake Hood trail, a 7.4km walk. It starts on the southern side of the Ashburton River and for the average family could take about two hours to walk.

The Ashburton/Hakatere River trail on the northern side of the river heads to Hakatere and is 19km.

Pool Party fun

If you’re venturing south these school holidays why not time your visit with an Outdoor Heated Pool Party? The month of January is a busy time at the District Pools, so holidays are celebrated with summer pool parties at the Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka Outdoor Heated Pools in the Timaru district.

Pool Parties are loads of fun for all the family, and with each pool at Pleasant Point, Geraldine and Temuka providing picnic areas, why not pack a picnic and enjoy the fine weather this summer.

These wonderful community pools are well set up with clean and tidy changing facilities, umbrellas to escape the hot summer sun, and of course fabulous outdoor heated pools providing all the family with loads of summer holiday fun.

If you’re lucky and you time your visit just right, your kids will love you, even the big kids! With fun pool inflatables, the PortFM ‘splash for cash’ and a fabulous Tip Top Summer Family Pack up for grabs, the District Pools are a fun family outing for the weekend. All this fun is available for just the price of a swim entry.

Geraldine and Pleasant Point kickoff the January Pool Party fun. The Geraldine pool is located on Cox Street in Geraldine, and you’ll find the Pleasant Point pool on Harris Street. Both facilities boast a 25m outdoor heated pool, a toddlers’ pool (0.7metre depth) and a learners’ pool (0.3metre depth), well laid out clean changing rooms and designated picnic areas. Plus don’t forget the poolside Lifeguards, there to

keep a well trained eye on patrons at the pool.

The Temuka pool is located in the Temuka Recreational Reserve off Domain Avenue. Offering a fabulous venue for kids to swim and have fun, there’s even a mini golf course over the road.

All three pools are open from midNovember to late March for the summer season. All Timaru District Council Outdoor Heated Pools endorse NZ standards for the aquatic industry and the aquatic code of practice. The PoolSafe Policy requires all children less than eight years of age must be actively supervised by a care-giver 16 years or over. Under fives are required to be within arms reach of their care-giver, so yes, you’ll need to bring your togs if you’re under five year old wants to go play in the pool.

Swimming pools are a great halfway ‘stop off’ destination if you’re travelling with children. Many parents pack their togs on a long journey and give the kids a break with a swim and bite to eat (and tucker them out) before the second half of the journey gets underway. So if the kids are badgering you for something to do, why not pack up the car and take a family adventure to one of the Timaru District Outdoor Heated Pools, a great environment for summer holiday, family fun.

And don’t forget to pack your togs if you’re heading to Timaru. The CBay Aquatic Centre is packed with aquatic fun including two hydro slides, bombing tower, lazy river, kid’s water play area and a 50m outdoor heated pool and 25m indoor pool.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) With professional matters looking nowhere near as urgent as they did earlier in the week it is social matters that demand your attention.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) As much as playful and adventurous forces are trying to hold onto the holiday spirit, your new professional year is already calling to you.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) If Mars has his way life would be all about embracing a passion for adventure and a hunger for richer experiences. Let him get his way.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As your financial desires and expectations, passions and fighting spirit align with a smart head for money it’s time to come out of your corner fighting.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) This is a weekend for not only making your relationships a priority. Ensure the communication lines are open and the battle lines drawn.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) There’s a need to keep your work hat on but in a way that heart and mind is on the same page and you’re focused on what excites you.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With Mars returning to your work sector on Monday life is about to get busier, with a need to stay in holiday or weekend mode while you can.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) This is a weekend for tackling ‘to do’ lists around the home. Get stuck in and get things done, as before you know it life will be too busy.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) The New Year wasn’t the only chance to set your resolutions for the coming year, with those most likely to stick those you’ve deliberated over.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While you’ve got a smart head for money and the laws of attraction are in play on the income front, a fighting spirit ensures you don’t miss out.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) The Moon’s first visit to your financial sector for 2015 is fuelling your financial instincts and daydreams. Turn financial tension into motivation.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) While the Moon is stirring your emotional responses to relationship matters this weekend they are more likely to mirror your needs.
