THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Council to control museum BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton Museum is about to become a department of the Ashburton District Council. Rather than continuing to run its own ship, the museum’s trust board put a proposal to the council that would see its management become a council function, leaving staff to get on with the business of running the museum itself. Currently the Ashburton Museum and Historical Society is responsible for the operation of

the Ashburton Museum, working in partnership with the Ashburton District Council which owns the museum building and supplies much of the operational funding. The change will see the museum come under the council umbrella in the same way as the public library and that’s a move that should be a win all round, said society chair Bev Tasker. “What’s happening in Ashburton is what has happened in a lot of other areas. There are few museums like ours that are supported by the community

that are not run by a council,” she said. The move to the new museum was the logical time to make the change, Mrs Tasker said. For years historical society volunteers had run the administration side of the museum. “We’ve had a marvellous person do this but now they want to step aside. We’re working through a process and have a draft agreement between the council and the museum,” she said. As a department of council it was likely there would be ad-

ministrative cost savings, Mrs Tasker said. “We asked for this change and our staff are keen and happy for this to happen. It elevates us to a professional level of function and that’s where it needs to be.” As part of the change, the museum’s collection, valued at well over $6 million, will remain in the ownership of the Museum and Historical Society, held in trust for the people of Ashburton. This ownership will remain for two years and will then be reviewed. Mrs Tasker said that gave both the council

and the society breathing space to look at the best ownership options for the future. Ultimately the museum collection could move into council ownership, again in trust for the community, she said. The council is the museum’s major funder and has tagged $195,000 as its contribution towards this year’s expenses. While there is no indication the Ashburton Art Gallery will opt to become a council department, the gallery committee was aware of the change the museum was making.

Dogs go under the hammer Looking for love – and a new owner - one of more than 70 dogs at yesterday’s PGG Wrightson dog sale. The sale attracted a big gallery of Australasian buyers, with prices tipping $5500 for top dogs. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 1007-TM-059

Dora, siblings dubbed te reo heroes

Dora the Explorer is getting a te reo Maori makeover with the help of three Rotorua siblings. Te Rangitakaroro Hiini, 9, and his sisters Mai Io, 8, and Arawa, 6, have voiced characters in the popular children’s programme in a dubbed version for Maori Television. The re-worked series, Dora Matatoa will premiere on July 21 – the start of Maori Language Week. Te Rangitakaroro was the voice behind Dora’s best friend and monkey, Boots. Every weekend he would juggle playing rugby for Whakarewarewa in between travelling to Auckland to record. “I sat in this chair and would read the words off this screen,” Te Rangitakaroro said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what I sound like. I used my own voice but tried to make it sound like it was on the cartoon.” His sister Mai Io voiced Tico the Squirrel and a few smaller parts while little sister Arawa, alongside fellow Rotorua youngster Lahaina Kiel, lent her voice as one of Santa’s Elves. The programmes will screen on Maori Television from July 21.

Back in time One man showed he was a true Anzac patriot, giving his savings for WWII on July 11, 1940. Too old to enlist and in any case out of the war because of injuries which he received in the last war, an Ashburton man has set an example of endeavour to assist New Zealand in its war effort. He had 90 Pounds in his bank and other money at his home brought his total savings to 115 pounds. This has been sent to the Minister of Finance (the Hon W. Nash) as an interest free loan for war expenses for the duration of hostilities. In the meantime, he is living on his pension.

Life of Poo makes a splash in Japan In a country known for its high-tech ‘smart loos’, a Japanese exhibition dedicated to what gets flushed down them and featuring a giant toilet slide is making a splash in Tokyo. Children wearing poo-shaped hats slid excitedly down a chute into a lavatory standing five metres high, following the Journey of Poo at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. The aim of the exhibition, which also includes a chorus of singing toilet bowls, is to educate visitors about sewage, health and waste. An angry lavatory asked out loud what would happen if the world’s loos refused to do their jobs, encouraging toddlers to say ‘thank you’ after flushing. Children also lined up to make their own poop from plasticine, while giggling couples enjoying an unusual date also took the opportunity to sport the popular brown hats and slide down the toilet.

■ TINWALD SCHOOL

Roll closed to outside of zone By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Tinwald School has closed their roll to pupils outside their zone. It would still take pupils inside the zone. The school currently had 234 pupils but expected to be full next term. The roll was capped at 249. Principal Peter Livingstone said yesterday they would no longer take pupils from outside the zone. “We are unable to accept enrolments from outside of our zone because I have taken unexpected enrolments from within our zone,” he said. He said an unexpected enrolment from families that had moved to the area has pushed the roll to near capacity. He said the school roll was capped at 249 until the additional two new classrooms were completed mid-November. “I’ve got to keep my space for Tinwald kids,” he said. The school had planned for a new entrants’ class of about six children next term. “Technically I’ve got 15 spaces left but I’ve got new entrant enrolments and I’ve got more enrolments due to start on day one (of term three) who are living in Tinwald, so I can accept those.” The school already had a class that used the library for a classroom.

They were due to move into one of the two new classrooms once they were completed. The new entrants would take the other. “That is why we need the two rooms, already we are at capacity where we will use those rooms,” he said. Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy understood the predicament. Methven Primary School, where he was principal, was in the same position. It also no longer accepted pupils from outside the zone. He understood schools had to accept pupils from within their zone. It was about money. If a school took 25 children from outside their zone they would get money to teach them but they would not get money to build a room to place them. If they were in-zone children the space would be paid for. “You get staffing money for them if they are out of zone, but they don’t pay for a physical space,” he said. It was a big reason schools tightly managed the process especially as it got close to capped limits. Other schools where zoning was also in place included Wakanui School, Rakaia School, Mt Somers School and Hampstead School.

A lot of thought into new additions By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Schools need to think smarter to get the best out of additional building resources, says Tinwald School principal, Peter Livingstone. The school was one of many primary schools in the district where new building work was taking place. Planned work included the relocation of the administration block and the addition of two new classrooms. It started last term with the relocation of the office block closer to Thomson Street. The work was planned with the Ministry of Education to get the best advantage out of the site. Mr Livingstone said the placing of the office and the classrooms did not lose any field or court space. “That was important to us that we established where will these rooms go, how will they be integrated in the existing school, what does it mean for the future if we get more rooms,” he said. It was well thought out before anything was signed off. “It’s a smarter way of doing

it.” He said in the past other schools had pre-fab buildings dropped off and ended up looking like military camps. “We’ve got the opportunity to build more space in our school, what’s the best way of doing it. “I think it’s something every school should look at if they were to receive additional space, in terms of classrooms, then how do they make the best use of that rather than just adding on yet another extra set of buildings, what potential is there? “Asking those questions is more important.” The work was eight weeks behind schedule due to an old septic tank found under the building but work was progressing now. It was due to be completed mid-November. This week the foundations were dug out and boxing timbers placed for concrete. “It’s quite nice to see the footprint laid out with the string lines and you start to get an idea of what we are actually building,” Mr Livingstone said. It was expected to cost $395,000 but went to $483,000 and included security and fire

protection upgrade for the entire school. The area between the classrooms was due to be levelled and a roof placed over top. Large sliding doors off the classrooms would open them up to a common space between the four rooms. “That’s the part of the build when you hear phrases like modern learning environment and collaborative teaching. It’s that part of the build where we see real potential from the addition of two rooms to the school,” Mr Livingstone said. “We were trying to build something to futureproof … they can still be used as standalone classrooms but they can also be opened out and used more as spaces that children work through,” he said. The school would get two new rooms with a breakout room at one end, but also a teaching space the size of two classrooms. “We are going to get a huge amount out of it and you just have to look at what’s possible.” Mr Livingstone expected to be in his new office on July 21, the first day of term three.

■ ANNUAL DOG SALE

Teary eyes at annual dog sale By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

They might be blokes who reckoned they never cried, but there were tears in more than one eye yesterday as around 70 working dogs went under the auctioneer’s hammer in Ashburton. The annual PGG Wrightson dog sale attracted a solid gallery of buyers, not only from around New Zealand but also from Australia. And they were there to buy. From the first dog on the lot, showing its pace with a small

mob of ewes in the paddock, until the last muster, the buyers were keen to shell out good money for good dogs. Top price of the day went for Blade, a big, rangy six-year-old huntaway. His Seddon owner Ian Broadhurst was smiling as his dog was knocked down for $5500. Then he looked at Blade, Blade looked at him and the euphoria of the moment was gone. “I got him when he was a badly behaved 12-month-old. We had a bit of a discussion and he’s been good. I’ve had him at

the New Zealand champs but I don’t really like running huntaways…” He tried to take consolation in the knowledge that he had another 10 dogs at home. Des Lysaght took two dogs to the sale. He’s been a regular seller and buyer - over the past 20 years but that doesn’t make it any easier handing over a dog you like to a stranger, he said. As he put dog number two on the leash ready for his paddock trial, Mr Lysaght was quick to

deny there was moisture in his eyes. “It’s just the cold wind,” he said. Back in 2005 Mr Lysaght paid out the most cash on the day, $5300 for a two-year-old heading dog. Leaving the emotion out of the day, PGG Wrightson agent Greg Cook said the sale was an all-round success. “We got about an 85 per cent clearance and the top dogs went for between $4500 and $5500,” he said. Numbers were similar to last

year, with one North Island owner bringing a team of eight dogs, Mr Cook said. Sales were made across the country, but a number of dogs found homes around the Ashburton District. A number of dogs who didn’t reach reserve price were sold later in the day when deals were done in the carpark. Numbers at this year’s sale were up on previous years, but were well short of the sale’s hey day when upwards of 130 dogs went under the hammer.

Top dogs heading for a new life across the Tasman By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A couple of sheep dogs got more than they bargained for when they went under the auctioneer’s hammer at the PGG Wrightson dog sale yesterday. While their mates were settling into new Kiwi homes, their good run under the buyers’ eyes earned them a flight in a plane and a new life as Aussies. Buyer Daniel Stephens reckons the transition won’t be too hard and within a few days the dogs will have adjusted to whistles and words with an accent. If they play things the Aussie way, the dogs he and fellow buyer Danny Fitzgerald take home, may find themselves on a plane back to New Zealand in the future competing against their Kiwi mates in a trans-Tasman dog trial challenge. “We’ll be trying to beat the

“

I run 12 dogs; they might cover 30km in a day

best with the best,” Mr Stephens said. Home will be an outback station 1200 kilometres from Sydney. Their nearest town, Corbar is 130 kilometres from the gate. The glamour job of dog trials won’t be all they’ll do. Life on an Aussie station is about work too, he said. Work in the outback will involve dust, flies, heat, 500 cows, 1200 sheep and about 5000

goats. Distance will be another factor the Kiwi dogs will have to become accustomed to. “I run 12 dogs; they might cover 30km in a day. Our paddocks are about 6000 acres; the smallest is 4000. It’s beautiful out there, so quiet.” The men were serious buyers. If the breeding was right and the dogs performed, then the money was secondary. It was their first trip to the Ashburton sale and after missing out on two good prospects, Mr Stephens realised he needed to be on the ball if he wanted to buy. If things went his way he intended to take up to four dogs home. Some of those would be sourced from private parties later in the week. He’s no newcomer to dog sales and runs a similar event back home.

■ NORTHPARK ROAD

Rugby club to hold memorial service for victim

Ashburton Guardian 5

■ ASHBURTON POLICE

New face on the beat

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Southern Rugby Club will host a memorial service on July 20 for a young player tragically killed after a truck he was driving collided with a train. George Ellis, 22, died in Christchurch Hospital on Tuesday, a day after the accident at the Northpark Road railway crossing north of Ashburton. Mr Ellis was a member of the Southern senior rugby side and his team-mates are devastated at the loss of a player who had only joined the club this season, but made an immediate impact. Affectionately known as Badger, Mr Ellis played on the wing for the Southern seniors and had scored four tries for his new club. Tributes continued to flood Mr Ellis’ Facebook page yesterday. Friends described him as a kind, considerate, genuine, good bloke, and team-mates described him as someone who became a cult figure and everyone’s favourite player in a short time. Mr Ellis was a keen hunter and the Big Game Hunting New Zealand Facebook page also posted a message advising of his death. The post said Mr Ellis had often shared photos of his hunting exploits on the organisation’s Facebook page in the past. Mr Ellis grew up in Ongaonga in the Hawke’s Bay and after leaving Wanganui Collegiate School headed south to attend Lincoln University. After university he got a job with WaterForce in Ashburton and joined the Southern club. Representatives from Southern met Mr Ellis’ family this week and many of the club’s players and management were planning to head to Waipawa for the funeral on Tuesday. Southern seniors manager Warren Smith said Mr Ellis had fitted like a glove when he came to Southern, immersing himself in club life, playing pre-season touch and twilight cricket. The club will host a memorial service at its Hinds clubrooms on Sunday, July 20, at 1pm.

Ashburton’s newest cop, constable Ben Bright.

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A bright-eyed new recruit spent his first day in the blue uniform at the Ashburton Police Station this week. He’s the first new arrival of many as Ashburton police look to increase their visibility and presence in the Mid Canterbury community – a community which is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. Constable Ben Bright hails from the Waikato, but spent six years in the New Zealand Army as a medic based out of Burnham before heading to The Royal New Zealand Police College. “I knew since I was a kid that I wanted to either work in medicine or be a cop, and I did the medicine thing in the army and when I left there I became a cop,” he said. Originally recruited for Auckland, Mr Bright put in a transfer for Canterbury; it’s where his partner is based and where he wanted to be. Ashburton was a perfect fit for him and he’s enjoying his first week so far. For now, he’s the new boy – but not for long. In August, a new sergeant will also join the ranks at the Ashburton Police Station, taking the total number of sergeants under seniorsergeant Scott Banfield from two, to three. Come October another two new recruits will arrive and Mr Banfield said by the end of the year, the Ashburton Police Station should be fully staffed. He didn’t want to reveal how many staff ‘fully staffed’ is, but said it will be an increase on the number of staff Mid Canterbury had had in recent years, and that increase had been necessary as the Mid Canterbury community had steadily grown over the years. Increasing both staffing numbers and the police presence in Mid Canterbury were two of his aims when he took on the role of officer in charge of the Ashburton station in May. “It’s about more visibility of patrols and providing that community reassurance,” he said. The increase in the number of sergeants would increase the supervisory capability at the station, which would benefit both the community and police staff, Mr Banfield said.

■ FATAL QUAD BIKE CRASH

In brief

Victim not wearing helmet By Brendan Manning A 38-year-old man who died following a quad bike crash on a Wanganui beachside road yesterday was not wearing a helmet, and the bike was not certified for road use, police say. The local man crashed the quad bike in Castlecliff ’s Hood Street about 12.35pm yesterday. He was then taken to Wanganui Hospital for surgery, but later died of his injuries. Wanganui police Constable Trevor Scarrow said the fatal quad bike crash occurred on a

public road. “It was a sole rider, no other vehicles were involved.” Police were investigating the condition of the quad bike, he said. “It wasn’t a road-going quad bike, it was a farm-type bike,” he said. They were also still trying to establish how the man came off the quad bike, Mr Scarrow said. He was not wearing a helmet. “We have spoken to witnesses and we are continuing to speak to more.” Unlawful use of similar vehi-

cles in the area was common, he said. “Over the years – because it’s a beach suburb, we often get reports and see ourselves, trail bikes and other bikes riding in the area to and from the beach and from time-to-time there is excessive speed and no helmets being worn which concerns us greatly.” The man lived in the area, he said. Police were speaking to his family. Hood Street resident Hannah Taylor said she came out of her house when she heard sirens

and saw a group of six people around the man. Four of the men “took off ” when they heard the sirens, she said. “One guy was like, ‘nah, he’s gone’. That’s when they ran off.” One of the men drove past the crash site later in the day, Ms Taylor said. The remaining two men stayed, and Ms Taylor later saw them leave in a police car. Mr Scarrow said the group of men were believed to have been family members of the man who died. - APNZ

Car crash Police attended a car crash at the intersection of Grahams Road and Archibald Street in Tinwald at 5.12pm on Wednesday. No injuries were reported but both vehicles sustained moderate damage.

Ambulance assist The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out at 10.30am yesterday, to assist the ambulance with a call-out on Alford Forest Road.

Driver training course Mid Canterbury’s older drivers can get a driving confidence boost with a driver training course. The one-day course is designed to give driving skills to mature drivers who experience physical changes that affect their driving abilities, vision, reaction time and flexibility. The course is on July 25. It starts at 9.30am. Cost $5, lunch included. Anyone interested can contact Age Concern Ashburton to register on 3086817.

Pipe bursts Diamond Harbour residents were conserving water last night and this morning after a major pipe burst. Christchurch City Council said a significant fault within the network had interrupted the normal supply and one of the key reservoirs was now at a very low level. Terry Howes, Unit Manager Asset and Network Planning, said the reservoir was likely to run dry over the peak period last night. If needed, the council will bring water to Diamond Harbour by tanker. - APNZ

■ FLU VACCINES

Time running out for flu vaccinations Mid Cantabrians eligible for free flu vaccines only have a short time to take up the offer before the annual immunisation programme ends on July 31. Rangitata MP and Associate Health Minister Jo Goodhew said the number of flu cases reported by GPs and hospitals had already started to climb and was expected to continue

throughout winter. “Influenza puts hundreds of New Zealanders in hospital every year, and keeps many more off work and school. For example, pregnant women are 18 times more likely to be hospitalised with the flu than women who are not pregnant. “The influenza vaccine is the best protection available against

this serious illness,” she said. More than 1.18 million New Zealanders had been vaccinated this season either by a free vaccine for eligible groups, getting vaccinated at their workplace, or paying for it themselves. Mrs Goodhew said the influenza vaccine was free for people aged over 65 years old, pregnant, regularly use an asthma

preventer, had diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, cancer or another serious medical condition, or were aged under 5 years and had been hospitalised for a respiratory illness, or had a history of significant respiratory illness. People should contact their GP to arrange getting vaccinated.

For the first time in eight months the Interislander ferry Aratere will cross the Cook Strait. The ferry is scheduled to start freight-only services later this week. Aratere has been in Singapore since March, where it has undergone testing and repairs, after losing a starboard propeller in November. The ship arrived back in Wellington two weeks ago and has since undergone sea trials and underwater inspections. Maritime New Zealand and DNV have now signed off the ferry as ready to sail. - APNZ

Further from land Bad weather continues to push a trans-Tasman kayaker further from land. Scott Donaldson has been at sea for three months after leaving Coffs Harbour in New South Wales in April. He is hoping to be the first person to kayak solo across the Tasman sea. Mr Donaldson is within sight of the Taranaki coast but strong winds have continued to push him further south, and he has decided to wait out the bad weather. Mr Donaldson is currently 38 nautical miles from land. Taupo rescue pilot John Funnell said Mr Donaldson was expected to start paddling tomorrow and said the delay was “disappointing for everyone”. Mr Donaldson is now expected to land at Port Taranaki by Sunday or Monday. - APNZ

■ PHIL NISBET CASE

In brief

Black Widow appeals sentence By Kurt Bayer The family of murdered Christchurch truck driver Phil Nisbet say his killer is “clutching at straws” in her appeal, heard in Wellington yesterday. A lawyer for ‘Black Widow’ Helen Milner told the Court of Appeal yesterday that she couldn’t possibly have laced her second husband’s food with a fatal overdose of drugs without him tasting the poison. But after court Mr Nisbet’s sister Lee-Anne Cartier laughed off the legal argument as a “joke”. “How many guys have the guts to tell their wife that tea tastes like s***”. Most guys just shut up and eat it,” she said after the 90-minute hearing in Wellington yesterday.

■ YOUTH SURVEY

Family of both Milner and Mr Nisbet packed into the public gallery, including Mr Nisbet’s two sons Ben Porter and Zak Bell, sister Lee-Anne Cartier, brother Andrew Nisbet, and Milner’s two sons Adam and Greg Kearns. Afterwards, Ms Cartier and brother Andrew Nisbet were unimpressed by Milner’s legal arguments. “There’s just nothing there ... it was a joke. Just another waste of taxpayers’ money,” Ms Cartier said. Brother Andrew said she was “clutching at straws ... trying to turn it into something it’s not”. He said it was again “very stressful” for the family. Last December a jury found Milner, 50, guilty of murdering Mr Nisbet in 2009, and guilty

of a second charge of attempting to kill him a fortnight earlier. At the High Court in Christchurch, the Crown proved that Milner had slipped crushed up Phenergan into 47-year-old Mr Nisbet’s evening meal and killed him. She then made his death on May 4, 2009 look like suicide in the hope of cashing in a $250,000 life insurance policy. And the mother-of-two nearly got away with it when police referred the Christchurch delivery driver’s death as a suicide to a coroner. But coroner Sue Johnson raised suspicions which prompted police to launch a homicide investigation. In February, Justice David Gendall sentenced Milner to

the statutory life imprisonment and imposed a minimum nonparole period of 17 years. But Mr Glover yesterday argued there was no way Milner could have crushed up between 14 and 233 Phenergan sedative and anti-histamine pills in delivery driver Mr Nisbet ‘s food and given it to him without him knowing something was up. The jury should have been asked to consider how she managed that feat, he said. Expert defence witness Professor Ian Whyte said it would have required in the region of 45 tablets to achieve the level of the drug found in Mr Nisbet’s system. But he accepted it could’ve been as low as 14. The judges reserved their decision. - APNZ

■ ATS FIELD DAYS

Chance for youth to have say Young people living in the Ashburton District have an opportunity to stake a claim in shaping the future of their district. A survey is currently running aimed at gathering ideas from people aged from 14 to 24 years about their priorities for services, activities and events that are available or held in the Ashburton District. A Conversation Café held last month was the catalyst for the survey which organiser Aileen Campbell hopes will attract a wide response from around the district. “The purpose of the Conversation Café was to help establish what young people liked about living in the district and to work out what they thought could be done to make it an even better place for youth. The suggestions and priorities that came out of that have been incorporated into the survey,” she said. Once the survey results were collated and priorities were identified, Ms Campbell said the Youth Council would be in a position to develop a long-term plan on bringing some of those suggestions to fruition. The survey is available on the Ashburton District Council’s website www.ashburtondc. govt.nz/youth and on the Youth Council Facebook page. Hard copies will also be available from the council office. The survey closes on August 10.

Skinned seal shock The discovery of a skinned seal on Napier’s Marine Parade has disgusted the man who found it, and Department of Conservation officers. The man was out walking on the beachfront last weekend when he came upon the carcass of a fur seal which had been shot and then skinned before being dumped into the sea. It washed ashore near the Napier Port end of Marine Parade and left conservation services manager Dave Carlton shocked and bewildered. - APNZ

Cliff Curtis in court Hollywood actor Cliff Curtis has been convicted of driving while suspended, and banned from driving for a further six months. Curtis, 45, was also ordered to pay $500 plus $130 in court fines when he appeared in the Rotorua District Court yesterday after pleading guilty to the driving charge. The Rotorua-born actor, known for his roles in Once Were Warriors, Whale Rider, Die Hard 4.0 and Blow, was suspended from driving on June 25, but was caught driving on Amohia Street just two days later by police. Curtis’ current driving suspension ends on September 25. The new six months’ suspension will start from then. - APNZ

Player farewelled Hundreds gathered in stormy weather conditions to say Haere Ra to a young Northland rugby player-four days after he died from a head injury he suffered while playing for his club. Mourners and vehicles lined up the road leading to the Otamatea Marae where a karakia was held yesterday before Jordan Kemp’s body was taken to a urupa or the cemetery about 100 meters away. The marae and several outbuildings were packed with mourners, leaving many to brave torrential rain outside during the hour-long service. Students of Auckland Grammer School performed a haka just as his coffin exited the marae and his team mates at Otamatea Hawks repeated the act before his body entered the urupa. - APNZ

■ BALCAIRN TRIAL

Ashburton pair set for Balcairn Trial Ashburton will be represented in the Balcairn Trial this weekend with Vintage Car Club of New Zealand, Ashburton branch members David Oakley and Donald Williamson taking part. The men will each drive an Austin 7 in the annual vintage car trial at Balcairn, North Canterbury. The trial tests

vintage vehicles and their drivers in off road, on road, hill climb and endurance action. It is a run by the Bank Peninsula branch of the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand. Both men have entered in the past and won the road legal section. Mr Oakley said most of the

vehicles entered were purpose built vehicles, often based on Austin 7s because they were smaller and lighter. The object of the trial was to establish which vehicles and/or driver coped the best in various sections. There were also specific rules which included vehicles not allowed to use mud grip tyres or be 4WDs.

Still without power Last night was the third cold night without power for thousands of households as more stormy conditions continue to batter the top of the North Island. Around 6400 Northland customers are still without power, and have been told to prepare for more days off the grid. Top Energy line crews have been working through the stormy conditions to return power to settlements in the far north, but Civil Defence says more bad weather is likely to hamper efforts. NorthPower had restored power to all but 1000 customers who were cut off in Whangarei and Kaipara after the storm. Spokeswoman for Northland Civil Defence Emergency Management (NCDEM) Group Claire Nyberg said the power outages continued to affect sewage systems, telecommunications and drinking water in some areas. However, there had been no requests for assistance with food or water at this stage. - APNZ

■ CHRISTCHURCH QUAKES

Rebuild costs ‘could shift to taxpayer’ By AdAm Bennett Labour has raised the possibility of the taxpayer shouldering an even greater proportion of Christchurch rebuild costs, saying it would sit down with Christchurch council to review the existing cost sharing agreement if it won the election. In the latest of a series of policy announcements for the quake-hit region, which is shaping up as a key election battleground, Labour Leader David Cunliffe said a Government he led would be “committed to working alongside Christchurch’s mayor and councillors to come up with a fair and sustainable solution to the city’s ballooning debt, largely a consequence of a government imposed costsharing arrangement”. “There will be no set restrictions on the options that can be negotiated in these discussions.” The latest official estimate of costs to the taxpayer of quake recovery costs is $15.4 billion but Prime Minister John Key

has indicated it may go higher. The Government signed a cost-sharing agreement with the council in June 2013, under which it would pay $1.8 billion of the total $3.1 billion reconstruction bill for horizontal infrastructure such as road, water, wastewater and power networks while the council would pay $1.37 billion. The council is also up for an additional construc-

million or more. The current cost sharing agreement has been a sore point between Mayor and former Christchurch East Labour Lianne Dalziel and Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee since Ms Dalziel was elected last year. Mr Brownlee yesterday said it was “disingenuous” for Labour to suggest the Government was not willing to listen to the council over cost sharing particularly for rebuilding horizontal infrastructure or roads, water, wastewater and power transmission networks. “We anticipate meeting again with the council in the very near future to work through these very issues.” Mr Brownlee said Labour’s “open ended policy” around cost sharing “puts everything back on the table and will remove the certainty around the anchor projects and central city, and subjects New Zealanders to an unquantified financial commitment”.

tion bill of $423 million which includes its share of funding for so called “anchor projects” to provide the basis for the rejuvenation of the city. However a KordaMentha report this year commissioned by the council has found the horizontal infrastructure bill could be $3.5 billion and $544 million for construction, leaving the council facing shortfall of $534

“If Labour is committing to financial support for the council, taxpayers deserve more details.” Labour’s Christchurch Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson said the existing cost sharing agreement had been struck behind closed doors between Mr Brownlee, former Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker and former Christchurch City Council chief executive Tony Marryat without any open discussion involving the rest of the city’s council. Since that agreement there was now more comprehensive information on a range of factors including insurance payouts. “What we’re saying is given we know a whole lot of stuff more now, let’s just sit down and talk this through again. We don’t want anything that’s agreed to be delayed because that would just defeat the purpose but we do want to give the council the chance to have a proper conversation in the light of robust information.” - APNZ

OUR VIEW

Time to wheel out the bins Stu Oldham

EDITOR

shburton district’s move to wheelie bins is not yet a fait accompli – but it should be. Just ask householders that collect rubbish that dogs have torn from ragged plastic rubbish bags. Every now and then, robewearing people take to the gutters to pick up what was once bagged and waiting for the rubbish man. Of course, the bags wouldn’t have been ripped if they weren’t left out overnight and, of course, the rubbish contractors clean up the mess they find. But that does not stop house-proud people from an early intervention. Last week, I watched a frustrated man in pyjamas throw a lamb shank toward at a dog that may have ripped into his rubbish bag. He missed. The dog picked up the bone and, with a wagging tail, sat down for breakfast. Perhaps he was one of the 1925 respondents to the council’s survey on what to do next with kerbside collection. Perhaps, on that cold morning, he wished he had a more secure option. More than 46 per cent of people who responded to the survey said they wanted three sturdy wheelie bins for rubbish, recycling and organic waste. For some, the question of cost remained. Councillors discussed the options at a workshop last week and the council is expected to present to full consultation a preferred option next month. Demonstrable community support should encourage councillors to choose a progressive path that will upset those who do not want to pay more than $10 for a roll of bags. If the unsightly activity outside some houses on rubbish day is anything to go by, our anachronistic black rubbish bags should be kicked to the kerb. Clarification: Northpark Road rail crossing is controlled with a give way sign, not a stop sign as reported in this column yesterday. As reported yesterday, the stop sign was erected by the council but subsequently removed at the request of KiwiRail.

YOUR VIEW Maori king’s son It was appalling that the son of a Maori king has been discharged by Judge Phillippa Cunningham without conviction, although the police prosecutor opposed it. The man, Korotangi Paki, was on charges of burglary, theft and drink-driving, with an alcohol level almost double the legal level. What sort of king would he make? The other son would surely be better. Suppose he had killed someone? This is surely racism at its worst. Nobody should be above the law. What sort of message does this send: that it is not what you do wrong but who you are? R. Denham

No 17%

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you think new eco log burners put out more or less smoke than the old log burners?

Failure to neuter cats can soon spark a population explosion of unwanted cats which in turn can ignite a feral cat problem.

A cat’s life – lucky for some M

ost people, if they could come back and have another life, would love to come back as a cat. What a life, right? Sleeping all day in the sun … Food on demand … Pats and cuddles when you want them … A nice warm home to live in and if you are really lucky your owner’s bed to snuggle in. Who wouldn’t want that kind of life? I know I would. But this isn’t every cat’s life. In the course of my work as a vet nurse and pet shop assistant, I can tell you that very few cats, out of the millions in New Zealand, actually get this kind of life. In fact, the reality is most cats’ lives are a far cry from what our beloved pets lead. As a vet nurse, I have seen a steady stream of adult feral cats and kittens, from the age of 10 days to 14 weeks, euthanised. Within one week in peak kitten season, as many as 18 kittens were taken from their mother at this tender age and sentenced to death, due to no fault of their own. What the well meaning people don’t understand is that the mothers come back on heat once the kittens are removed, causing the mothers to have more litters in their lifetime than they usu-

Fiona Patchett VET NURSE

ally would. These litters are subsequently removed and killed as well. This becomes a vicious circle of breeding, birth and death and leads to over-breeding of the queen (mother cat). All this can be prevented if people would de-sex their cats. Many people would be heartbroken to hear about the euthanising of kittens but you could argue that these kittens and cats are the lucky one. There are so many more unwanted kittens and cats dumped at the domain, Racecourse Road and rural Mid Canterbury. These cats then become the problem of the local residents and farmers. At my new job I regularly see people trying to clean up after irresponsible pet owners. In fact over 90 per cent of the kittens I rehome at work are from feral litters or were dumped on someone’s property or the side of the road. What kind of life do these cats have? Terrified of humans and un-neutered, these dumped,

semi-wild and wild cats and kittens have horrific lives. To be honest, the dumped kittens under 10 months of age are probably going to slowly starve to death, living on what they can find to eat, in most cases, rotting meat or resorting to eating vegetation so they feel full. If they are lucky, a nice person will find them and either take them into their own home or bring them into places like my work to be rehomed. Most though are not lucky enough to be rehomed and if these kittens and cats survive long enough to learn to hunt and take care of themselves, their lives are very difficult. They have to fight for territory, beat the cold Ashburton winters, and become good enough hunters to keep their bellies full, all the while evading the farmers’ rifle sights. These dumped kittens and cats become untrusting of humans, turn feral and breed uncontrollably. If left unchecked the population can grow exponentially. This is not good for the native bird populations. Dumped and feral cats do not get any medical treatment like our own cats at home. When they fight other cats for territory, they risk becoming injured, getting cat bite abscesses, feline

immune virus (FIV) and leukaemia, all of which are fatal. FIV and leukaemia are transmitted cat to cat from bites and are highly contagious. These diseases can then be transmitted to our beloved pet cats if they come in contact with infected wild cats. All these problems can be avoided. All we need to do is stop dumping cats and to de-sex our cats. “It’s too expensive, I can’t afford to de-sex my cat.” I can hear you saying. If you can’t afford to de-sex your cat, in my opinion you cannot afford to have a pet cat. Cat neutering is generally the least expensive surgical procedure that vet clinics perform. You can neuter male cats at around $70 and spaying female cats is round $120. If you cannot afford to pay out a lump sum for the procedure, you could start putting $5 to $10 per week against your account at your local vet clinic. If you start saving before you get your kitten, by the time you find the right one you should have enough to vaccinate and de-sex your kitten and not really notice the money is gone. Homeless cats can be prevented but everyone needs to take responsibility and de-sex their pets.

In brief

Texas gunman kills six A lone gunman killed at least six people, most of them children, during a domestic dispute in Texas yesterday. He was then pursued and cornered by police, triggering a tense stand-off. A woman was also fighting for her life after suffering a gunshot wound to the head during the incident which occurred in Spring, outside Houston, Harris County Constable Ron Hickman said. Hickman said four or five children, some as young as eight, were killed and at least one man also died in the shooting. The woman was able to tell authorities where the suspect, a relative, was headed, triggering a police chase that lasted at least 20 minutes. “We got him in a cul-de-sac,” said Hickman, after at least an hour had passed during which the suspect sat in his vehicle surrounded by about 50 police officers with their guns drawn. There were at least a dozen patrol cars sitting waiting to pounce. Hickman said a large military-style SWAT truck was parked right in front of the suspect’s vehicle to prevent him from fleeing. The shooting was the latest in a spate of similar incidents in a country plagued by gun violence.

Apology for Hitler tweet A member of the Malaysian parliament has apologised for tweeting “Long Live Hitler” after Germany defeated Brazil in the FIFA World Cup semifinal, a remark that triggered a furore in Malaysia and elsewhere. “When Germany whacked Brazil I unintentionally said something that hurt the people in Germany,” Bung Mokhtar Radin, a federal parliamentarian from the eastern state of Sabah, tweeted yesterday. “My sincerest apology. Long Live Bung.” Netizens lambasted Bung for his Hitler tweet, calling it insensitive and “brainless.” - DPA

President Barack Obama has warned that America needs to do some “soul-searching” on gun control, which remains relatively lax despite regular gun rampages. On May 23, a student with

mental problems killed six people and then himself in California, while on June 5 a gunman killed one person and injured two others on a campus in Seattle. In June, a couple with pos-

sible anti-government militia links shot dead two police officers and a civilian in Las Vegas, and a teenage gunman shot a 14-year-old student dead at an Oregon high school. - AFP

Australian Defence has lost track of almost half a kilogram of plastic explosive. Despite an investigation, the department has failed to account for the dangerous material, although it has ruled out theft. Documents released under Freedom of Information show that two 230g cartridges of PE4 explosive could not be accounted for following a research project on blast damage in June 2012 at RAAF base Williamtown in northern NSW. The high explosive can be moulded and is widely used by militaries, in commercial blasting and by terrorists. - AAP

■ UKRAINE

Kiev promises ‘restraint’ as army advances Rebel strongholds in eastern Ukraine are braced for more fighting as Western leaders piled pressure on Kiev to strike a truce with pro-Russian separatists. French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a telephone call urged the Western-backed President Petro Poroshenko to move towards a political solution and said he promised to exercise “restraint” in the continuing drive to establish control in eastern Ukraine. Poroshenko said, however, that the rebels were still receiving weapons from Russian territory and lamented a “lack of progress” in even agreeing the next round of talks with Moscow. In Lugansk - one of two regional capitals still held by the

insurgents - the streets were deserted yesterday and an AFP team heard regular artillery fire to the north of the city with shooting seeming to be focused around the rebels’ military headquarters. The Ukrainian defence ministry said that troops had to repel a rebel attack on the Lugansk airport. Three people were killed in the city and five injured in the past 24 hours, local authorities said. In Slavyansk, the flashpoint town that was left by the rebels at the weekend, shell-shocked residents said they had hopes that Kiev’s promises to rebuild it from the rubble were not just words. “If (Poroshenko) wants to be the president of the whole country, I think they will rebuild it,” 62-year-old pensioner

President Petro Poroshenko

Nina said after meeting the Ukrainian leader on Tuesday evening on his lightning visit to the ravaged Slavyansk where basic supplies were now distributed to queues of people.

The three-way call between Merkel, Hollande and Poroshenko lasted 40 minutes, and Paris said it resulted in assurances by the Ukrainian leader to “exercise necessary restraint ... to spare civilians” as Kiev is faced with the rebels now housed in the much larger city of Donetsk. But Poroshenko also said that the situation was aggravated by Russia, as militants continued to receive weapons from across the border, and said there was “lack of progress from Russia” in de-escalating the crisis. Washington meanwhile said tougher economic sanctions, which could be catastrophic for the Russian economy, were imminent unless Moscow demonstrates a clean break from separatists. - AFP

The industry is now worth about $20 million a year to the NT.

■ RAG-TRADE WOES CONTINUE

Pumpkin Patch slides to record low terms of its wholesale business globally and its online businesses,” said Matthew Goodson, who manages $650 million of investment for Salt Funds Management, which holds a 5.6 per cent stake in the company. “But it also has weaknesses in that it certainly appears to have over expanded its retail footprint in Australasia and their design of supply chain functions started to not be what they should be, so there is an awful lot there for the chief executive to do.” In May the company cut its guidance for after-tax earnings before reorganisation costs to a range of $1 million and $3 million for the year ending July 31, having earlier said earnings would be little changed from last year’s $8.5 million. The kidswear retailer exited the NZX 50 Index last year, and has since been followed by fellow retailers Hallenstein Glasson, the fast-fashion chain,

and Brisbane-based jeweller Michael Hill International, this year. Retailers, especially those in the rag trade, are under increased pressure to keep prices cheap as shoppers are lured by bargains from international online retailers. A long summer and unseasonably warm autumn in both New Zealand and across the Tasman have further impacted winter sales in apparel, as shoppers haven’t rushed to buy warmer clothing. “Conditions for all clothing retailers have been very diffi-

cult, particularly in Australia where the weather on the east coast has been warmer than normal and consumer confidence has taken a hit there with the economy being a little more difficult than it normally is in Australia,” said Goodson. Last month, Kathmandu Holdings which gets two-thirds of its sales from Australia, said full-year earnings may decline by as much as 15 per cent as warmer weather crimps sales of cold weather products such as down jackets, fleece and thermals.

The survey showed business sentiment lifted one index point to eight; a reading above zero indicates that there are more optimists than pessimists. The construction industry was the most optimistic spurred on by strong growth in building approvals. The mining sector grew in confidence also, despite difficult conditions. The Australian jobs report for June beat expectations by adding 15,900 jobs. Median expectations from economists were for 12,000 jobs to be added. The June unemployment rate increased to 6 per cent from 5.9 per cent in May. The participation rate increased marginally to 64.7 per cent showing the number of people employed or actively seeking employment increased.

ling when rate rises in the US would happen and by an upgrade from credit rating agency, Fitch, taking our outlook from stable to positive. This pushed our currency higher against Australia, after unemployment across the Tasman rose. The US reporting season unofficially began this week with aluminium company Alcoa kicking things off with a better than expected result. Next week things will really start to ramp up with a full schedule of results due to come out from companies like Johnson & Johnson, Google, General Electric and IBM. Expectations for the second quarter earnings season for the S&P500 are for a 6.1 per cent rise. The financials sector is expected to be the weakest, with earnings expected to drop 2.7 per cent, and the tech sector is expected to be the best performer, forecasting a rise of 12.3 per cent. Markets will be looking closely at guidance outlook for the second half of the year in particular, especially given that markets are currently at an all time high. New Zealand and Australia’s reporting season is set to follow the US.

Employment figures great news ate last week US employment data for June jumped to 288,000 and far exceeded expectations for an increase of approximately 215,000. Following 29,000 of upward revisions for prior months, the three-month moving average has risen to 272,000, the highest level since March 2012. This marks the fifth consecutive month of employment additions above 200,000, and the 304,000 reading for April was the highest in more than two years. The unemployment rate fell from 6.3 to 6.1 per cent, the lowest level since the global financial crisis. This positive news saw markets push to record highs and make strong gains for the week. However, this week markets have pulled back from these record highs as investors chose to take profits after such a strong rally. The Nasdaq in the US has been the hardest hit as investors began to sell holdings in technology and biotech stocks which have pushed up the most and are around long term valuation averages. This theme has carried through global markets, with all major indexes falling. Australia has had a string of economic data out this week including the NAB business survey, Westpac’s consumer sentiment survey and unemployment data. The NAB business survey showed that Australian companies have

Shares in Pumpkin Patch, the third worst performer on the NZX’s All Ordinaries Index this year, fell to an all-time low as investors continue to mull the children’swear retailer’s outlook in an increasingly competitive apparel environment.

The company has been looking to revive its performance, appointing Di Humphries as chief executive last August and in March announcing a strategic review including a close look at its IT infrastructure, in a bid to make its distribution and supply chain management more efficient, and the size of its store footprint in a store-bystore review. “They’re moving through significant strategic change.

■ ITS A GLOBAL TREND

The cloud beats distance For many of us, the idea of cloud computing - or of storing information in “the cloud” - conjures up images of puffy white balls of fluff containing limitless amounts of information, somewhere in the region just above our heads. Although the idea may seem complex and unwieldy, the majority of us use the cloud every day. Facebook, Trade Me, internet banking and Google docs are just some of the daily distractions many of us employ to get through our work day, and the thing they all have in common, aside from general distraction, is that they operate in the cloud. So what is the cloud? Although cloud computing has been around for almost 12 years, it has only been in the last few years that companies have started to actively brand themselves as cloud-based companies. Think Xero, Vend, and Salesforce. Essentially the cloud is the storing and accessing of data and programmes on shared infrastructure using the internet as opposed to on owner-operated hardware. Industry consultant and investor Ben Kepes describes the cloud as analogous to electricity. “Way back when, before there was electricity everywhere, people would situate their factory next to a river so that they could put a waterwheel in place to turn their machines,” Kepes says. “Then all of a sudden electricity generation came in and we could just get electricity on the lines and use it when we needed it and not when we didn’t,” he says. “It removed the need to

Flights in blue There’s no hiding behind this blanket - embedded with neurosensors interconnected with fibre optics that measure the wearer’s brainwaves, the blue blanket turns red when the person using it is tense or stressed. British Airways has been testing the blankets on flights between London and New York. The airline hopes the information this gives them about passenger wellbeing will help them better time meals and improve other inflight amenities such as lighting and movies. The blanket doesn’t do all the work alone: volunteer passengers had to wear a headband that measured brainwaves and sent the data via Bluetooth to the blanket. Maybe horror movies are best avoided. - NZH

build our own infrastructure. “Same deal with cloud computing.” Kepes says that while New Zealand was not a fast adopter of cloud technology, the majority of New Zealand businesses now operate at least some of their operations in the cloud.

“

“It’s a big global trend.” A number of larger companies such as Xero and Vend have done extremely well using cloud technology, however Kepes notes that the “more important” aspect of this was from everyday businesses using the cloud to be more efficient.

They’re using tools on the cloud to make their life more efficient

“Before Xero, most of us had never heard of the cloud, and ever since Xero’s come in and done well, we’re now up there in terms of using it,” he says. “In the US, the biggest growth in tech in terms of revenue is from cloud services.

“There are heaps of examples of plumbers and electricians that are more efficient because they’re using tools on the cloud to make their life more efficient,” Kepes says. “Retailers as well - they’re in the horrible position of being

threatened by big box people but using the cloud, they can get to know their customers and interact with their customers directly, which allows them to be more competitive.” Some of the biggest benefits cloud technology provides for New Zealand businesses are in helping them to be more efficient and allowing them to focus on their core business, as well as being able to collaborate in real time. According to Kepes the bigger idea is how the cloud can enable New Zealand to compete on a global scale. “There is a huge ecosystem of tech companies in New Zealand now that are using the cloud and building products in the cloud,” he says. “We’re a tiny country at the end of the world but by using the cloud we can overcome a lot of the tyranny of distance and compete on a global stage.” - NZH

Many a child has slotted together toy bricks to build houses, garages and other structures. Kite Bricks bring the idea into actual buildings. The Smart Bricks are constructed of high-strength concrete, designed to be easily joined together, with open internal spaces for insulation and infrastructure elements. The bricks are made to order, including shapes, sizes and finishes, both inside and out, so a building can be quickly, easily and quietly put together. The Smart Brick offers high thermal control, full passage of pipes, wires and cables, finishes for both indoors and outdoors, extraordinary tensile strength, ease of construction and safety of materials. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle earthquakes. - NZH

You’re in the chair . . . The EarlySense Chair Sensor is something doctors and hospitals may invest in. It’s a cushion for a chair and is hooked up to a nearby monitor. Sitting on the cushion allows patient’s heart rate, respiratory rate and movement to be continuously monitored. Similar systems previously were only available for a patient lying in bed, but the cushions means people can sit up, improving healing, reducing the risk of complications and reducing the length of hospital stay. Cushions like that could be a hit in movie theatres to judge how to make more exciting movies. - NZH

In brief Eastern aim for second Mid Canterbury Eastern host Parklands United tomorrow with the winner set to finish second in Mainland Football Division four. In the last round on the league schedule, the two teams tied on 28 points do battle for the runner-up spot, with FC Twenty11 Thunder Panthers safely four points ahead in first place. Methven are away to Western in a bottom of the table clash, which will determine which team is in line for relegation. There are home games for the Mid Canterbury Masters against Universities, Mid Canterbury 18th against Halswell 18A, and Mid Canterbury 14th against Waimak United 15A. Mid Canterbury 16th are away to Nomads 16B. Then on Sunday the Mid Canterbury women are at home to Nomads.

Cavs clear the decks The Cleveland Cavaliers, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics have swung a trade that would see the Cavs create salary cap space by unloading guard Jarrett Jack, the US media said yesterday. The move would free more than $US21 million in cap space for the Cavaliers, who are reportedly interested in getting LeBron James, the biggest prize in free agency, to return to Cleveland. The maximum deal the Cavaliers could give James next season is about $US20.7 million. - AFP

Origin era ‘far from over’ The streak may be over but as far as Queensland are concerned their dominant State of Origin era hasn’t come close to ending. The Maroons smashed any hopes NSW had of securing a series whitewash on Wednesday with a spectacular 32-8 victory over the Blues at Suncorp Stadium. It may have come too late to prevent the Blues from ending Queensland’s eightyear Origin series winning run but the Maroons are already warning their southern rivals to expect a serious fightback in 2015. - AAP

Latham ‘only true opener’ By DaviD Leggat Six newcomers have made it on to New Zealand Cricket’s list of contracted players, and the selectors’ dissatisfaction with the troublesome opening batting job is plain to see. Peter Fulton and Hamish Rutherford are among those to have missed out, leaving Canterbury’s burgeoning Tom Latham as the only specialist test opener in the 20. Latham made a strong fist of his first series at the top of the order in the Caribbean against the West Indies, but who should join him for New Zealand’s next test assignment, against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in November, is a vexed issue. Among the 20, Auckland’s Martin Guptill, last seen in the test side in May last year, is a chance, depending on his form. He is a limited-overs sure bet and has been working with the country’s best batsman, Martin Crowe. Not being on the list does not preclude players being selected. Fulton and Rutherford paid for their repeated failings. At 25, Rutherford might have been considered for a reprieve. However NZC selection manager Bruce Edgar said Rutherford needed to return to domestic cricket and rediscover his game. “At international level if you lose your confidence and are struggling to score runs it’s very hard to come back from that.” The test arena is not a training ground, but Rutherford will go on the one-day top-heavy A tour to England shortly and had

a chance to work on technical aspects of his game. The other four to miss out are Dean Brownlie, Grant Elliott, Bruce Martin and Doug Bracewell. Joining Latham in the newcomers to the list are Jimmy Neesham, wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi, spinners Mark Craig and Ish Sodhi, and seamers Matt Henry and Adam Milne. The challenge for Edgar and fellow selector Mike Hesson is identifying players ready to step

up to the international level and intensity. Neesham is a fine example of a player who has shown he can make the leap; Latham is another who has grabbed his chance. “The jump is quite significant, the intensity is much higher, travel, play, practice, the heat and humidity - it’s the ability to cope with all that as well as your own skill you’re bringing to the table,” Edgar said. Veteran spinner Dan Vettori asked, for the second time, not

to be considered for a contract, but is in the frame for a return in the coming months. Players are accorded marks on their anticipated contributions in all three forms of cricket, with test cricket receiving double weighting on ODI and T20 marks. The Herald understands the top payment is about $195,000, dropping in increments of around $6000 down to $79,000. Match fees go on top of that. - NZH

Matulino’s 144th game

Mid Canterbury sides are involved in top-of-the-table clashes in the in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition tomorrow. Defending champions Wakanui Black hit the turf for the first time since their shock loss to Tainui, their first loss in two seasons, to host Northern Hearts in a top-of-the-table battle. The competition leaders, Black, have had the better of Hearts twice already, with a 5-0 win in the opening weekend followed up by a 4-2 win. It is Wakanui Blue’s turn to sit out this week with their game against Timaru Boys’

Experienced forward Ben Matulino will make his return from injury for the Warriors’ clash against the Parramatta Eels at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday. The round 18 match will be the 25-year-old’s 144th career outing after missing the last two victories against Brisbane (19-10) and Penrith (30-20) following minor knee surgery. The game’s “Back in Black” theme marks the Warriors’ return to their official black strip, which they have previously worn this year only in their “home” game against Wests Tigers in Wellington and away against St George Illawarra. Matulino, whose last appear-

deferred to July 23, just as Wakanui Black’s was last week – deferred to July 17. In the women’s’ competition top of the table Hampstead meet defending champions St Andrews. In their last meeting St Andrews scored a late equaliser to snatch a 4-4 draw, while Hampstead claimed a 4-2 win in the first meeting. Hampstead-Collegians have drawn with Geraldine twice but since their last meeting, a 1-1 stalemate in Ashburton, the teenage side has discovered a renewed confidence, with two wins coming from their last four games.

The only change to the starting line-up sees prop Suaia Matagi replacing veteran Sam Rapira (back injury). “Ben’s return is right on schedule,” said Warriors head coach Andrew McFadden. “He had some cartilage trouble [in his right knee] but it’s been sorted and he’s ready to go again this week having missed just the two games.” Matulino’s return leaves him on target to make his 150th appearance this year; he would be the 10th to achieve the feat for the club. - NZH

In brief

Playing for absent mate BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Southern and Hampstead meet in the final round of Watters Cup in what is essentially a knockout match, but southern will be without their number 11. It has been a tough week for the Southern side, suffering the tragic loss of George Ellis, which has devastated the team before their most important game of the season. “It’s been a hell of a week with the tragedy,” Southern coach Jason Rickard said. “It hasn’t been an ideal preparation for a must win game. “As you can imagine the boys are doing it pretty tough.” There was the possibility the match could be deferred until later next week, but Ellis’ parents told the team that George would have wanted them to play, and play they will. As a sign of respect, the number 11 jersey will not be worn by another player this season and there will be a moment’s silence before the kick-off, before Southern try to win one for their mate. It is the second time such a tragedy has struck the Southern club, with the deaths of under 21 players Jack Ballantyne and Tui Candish-Thompson

rocking the club in 2012. On that occasion the colts team played just over 24 hours after the incident and pummelled Prebbleton. “Sometimes adversity can pull teams together,” Rickard said. “We’ve been trying to stay pretty tight this week and help each other out where we can.” It’s a tough situation where rugby takes a back seat, but tomorrow the season is on the line for both Southern and Hampstead. The winner goes into the semi-finals to face the top seed, while the loser gets a premature start to the offseason. That has been the hand dealt to Hampstead since 2009, the last time they appeared in the playoffs giving them plenty to play for as well in what has been a trying season for the club. The other match played tomorrow between Rakaia and Celtic will determine home field advantage for the semi-finals, and who finishes the season with the Max Gilbert Challenge Trophy. Trophy holders Rakaia are in second, four points behind Methven, while the third placed Celtic are three points behind Rakaia, meaning the winner gets to host a semi-final.

Ahki heading to Glasgow Pita Ahki would have been forgiven for being a little less downcast than his teammates after the Blues lost to the Crusaders last weekend. Though the defeat virtually extinguished the Blues’ hopes of making Super Rugby’s playoffs, it also ignited the chance that Ahki could book a ticket to the Commonwealth Games. And so it proved on Monday when, free from his Super Rugby commitments, the centre was named in Gordon Tietjens’ 12-man squad heading to Glasgow. Ahki is the only Kiwi sevens player bringing Super Rugby experience to the Games, with Tietjens opting to trust his specialists to defend the title New Zealand have won at all four events in which the discipline has featured. - APNZ

Levi Hart will be looking for the tryline when Southern meet up with Hampstead in a vital Watters Cup match tomorrow.

Eden Park is the Blues’ impregnable fortress. At least it has been this season as they have seen off the Crusaders, Cheetahs, Highlanders, Waratahs, Reds and Hurricanes with the Chiefs in their final pool game rangefinder tonight. It’s a repeat of last year’s schedule when the Chiefs travelled up State Highway One to tip up the Blues 26-16 en route to their second title. Details have changed a fair bit since then. The Blues have held firm at Eden Park although apart from the win against the Force, they have been unable to find the same recipe away from HQ. The Chiefs have had their difficulties, too, and must win tonight to qualify for another shot at defending their title. Keven Mealamu has been thrust into the leader’s role again tonight when he will equal Nathan Sharpe’s tournament record of 162 Super rugby matches. - NZH

College girls prove to be top sevens exponents BY JONATHAN LEASK The Ashburton College girls’ 1st XV continued their stellar season with a strong outing at the South Island Secondary Schools’ Girls’ Rugby Festival in Oamaru this week. College went to the competition with only 18 players and after two injuries in the first game were down to 16 fit players, playing a total of 13 games over the three days, finishing runners-up in the 15s before taking out the sevens tournament. On the opening day on Monday College won three out of their four matches, starting with a loss to Motueka 0-19 before wins over St Hildas 26-0, Forward Foundation, a combination of players from Christchurch, 7-0 and St Kevins 33-0. Chloe Te Moananui scored in each of the wins. College weren’t as convincing on day two losing to Motueka again 14-21, then St Hildas 0-5 and drew with Forward Foundation 5-5, but beat St Kevins 26-5. They still qualified for the final where they were outclassed by Motueka, 12-21. On Wednesday they split into two teams for a sevens tournament where College Red won all four games before taking out the final against St Kevins 30-10. Te Moananui was the Most Valuable Player of the tournament and joined Nicole Purdom, Olivia Cunneen and Georgia Lysaght in the tournament team.

■ ARGENTINA INTO FINAL

Argentina underdogs Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has started the mind games, openly doubting if his bangedup one man band can silence Germany’s sweet orchestra in the World Cup final. Sabella says Argentina paid a hefty price for just reaching Monday’s title decider at Rio de Janeiro’s famed Maracana Stadium. Moments after Argentina sealed their spot in soccer’s showpiece with a gruelling penalty shoot-out triumph against the Netherlands, Sabella readily grabbed underdog status for the final. “Some of our players are sore, beaten, tired - the results of a war, so to speak,” he said. - AAP

Coach’s future uncertain The future of Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is looking bleak, after a senior Brazilian football official called for his head following the side’s historic 7-1 World Cup meltdown against Germany. Delfim Peixoto, the future vice-president of the Brazilian FA (CBF), has made it clear that he believes Scolari has no future with the national team. “He will never return with Brazil, he should retire now,” said Peixoto, who will become the second in charge at the CBF next April. “Scolari was too stubborn at all times, from the naming of his squad through to his choice of tactical system. Everything was wrong. I don’t even want to talk about this in order not to say anything silly. This was a disgrace, a humiliation,” Peixoto told ESPN Brazil. “There will be no place for him with any Brazil team. Not now or in the future.” - DPA

■ THE OTHER SIDE

What happens to those that don’t make it A fter their sensational exit against Germany, the soul-searching in Brazil has already started, even before the match for third place has kicked off. Many commentators are questioning Brazil’s footballing structures compared to the Germans, who are drilled and scouted at a very, early age. In Brazil thousands of talents slip between the cracks and of those who are scouted by the clubs, the majority end up back in obscurity and possibly poverty. One of them is Geraldo, the gardener, driver and general handyman at my B&B in Rio de Janeiro. A few years ago, the 31-yearold was playing in the Santos

youth team with the likes of Diego, Robinho and Alex, who all ended up playing for European top teams and the Brazilian team. Geraldo is the other, sobering face of Brazilian football. Like every Brazilian boy, he started playing pelada, or social football, with his mates in Propiar, a city in the northeastern state of Sergipe. Geraldo and his friends didn’t have a coach and never get any formal guidance, until he is scouted by Sporting Penedense at the age of 16 and earns himself a modest contract at the small club who play in the Alagoas state league. After a tip-off from his uncle, who has several Santos stars as regulars in his taxi, the club

invites young Geraldo to the famous port city club. The teenager from the northeast gets a life shock when he arrives in the mega city of Sao Paulo where he shares the dressing room with so many stars in the making. “And there is nobody there to help you. You either sink or swim,’’ he tells me. He soon learns the vital role of the local player agents. “They make the difference whether you make it or not. “Players like Robinho got the big contract overseas because of good agents, while others who were much more talented never got their break.” Geraldo is reluctant to hand over 50 per cent of his small wage for a top agent and

ends up being farmed out to the Santos satellite clubs in the lower leagues. Even though the tiny salary often doesn’t arrive for months, he keeps on playing to support his family up north, and because of the lack of any alternative. After nine years as a struggling professional, a serious foot injury makes him reassess the perilous and unstable career path he has chosen. He moves to Rio de Janeiro

where he now rents a modest home with some friends and earns a living as a gardener and a second job as a night watchman. He still keeps fit and plays pretty serious social pelada football on the weekend with his mates in Rio. Regrets? “Yes, I am sad I didn’t make the big teams but I feel lucky that I at least had the chance to play professional football. “Thousands of others never get that opportunity,’’ he reflects. “And if I get a son, I’d encourage him to become a footballer as well.” - Coen Lammers is a former editor of the Ashburton Guardian

■ NETHERLANDS OUT

Van Gaal runs out of tricks By John Bagratuni Anyone remember that the Dutch put five past holders Spain almost a month ago, and led group stage scoring at this World Cup with 10 goals from 270 minutes of football? Afterwards however their slick attacking machine stuttered. They managed just two more goals in 330 minutes, a header off a corner kick and a disputable penalty in a six-minute burst to beat Mexico 2-1 in the last minutes from 1-0 down in the last 16. For 88 minutes against Mexico, 120 against Costa Rica, and another 120 against Argentina, the inventors of total football didn’t find the net despite fielding such class acts as Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben. While surviving Costa Rica on penalties in the quarter-final, they ran out of luck in the next shoot-out against Argentina, losing 4-2 after earning the dubious distinction of having being part of the first goal-

less World Cup semi-final after 120 minutes. Official statistics revealed the Dutch had three shots on target, two less than Argentina who also had no interest in attacking in a dour semi which came a day after rampant Germany stormed into the final with the biggest semi-final win at a World Cup, 7-1 against Brazil. “We didn’t create many chances, that was something that was better in the previous games. But that also says a lot about the performance of Argentina,” Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal said. “We have played a fantastic tournament. Nobody thought we would reach the knock-out rounds,” he added. The Dutch were the toast of the World Cup early on thrashing Spain 5-1, beating Australia 3-2 and Chile 2-0 for maximum points and the leading 10 goals in the group stage. Van Gaal impressed with a 5-3-2 line-up against Spain, had substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

decide the game against Mexico, and then brought on reserve goalkeeper Tim Krul to beat Costa Rica from the spot before his bag of tricks was finally empty against Argentina and their keeper hero Sergio Romero. It was a frustrating night as the Argentina team marshalled by the outstanding Javier Mascherano allowed nothing, although Lionel Messi and company were also fully contained by the Dutch defence. “I think we deserved more. There was only one team to-

day playing for penalties and that was Argentina. We fought hard - we should have taken our chances,” midfielder Wesley Snijder said. Robben struck a similar line: “We can be proud of what we have achieved. It hurts. We have all given everything in this World Cup.” Van Gaal lamented that Ron Vlaar of all people had started the collapse when his first spot kick was saved, and Snijder’s later, by Sergio Romero who stole the show. “I thought he should have enough confidence for the penalty kick, but everyone knows how difficult it is,” Van Gaal said, adding that two others had not wanted to step up for the first penalty. Vlaar said he was “deeply disappointed” about missing, a fact that also made the Dutch have to wait another four years for a first World title, after losing finals in 1974, 1978 and 2010, and now going out in a semifinal shoot-out as in 1998, then against Brazil. - DPA

In brief Pele gracious Brazil football great Pele has congratulated traditional South American rivals Argentina on reaching the World Cup final. “Congratulations Argentina for today’s big victory,” Pele posted on Twitter after their 4-2 penalty shoot-out win over the Netherlands in the semi-final match. Argentina will now face Germany in Monday’s final at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. “I am looking forward to being at Maracana on Sunday to watch the final between two great nations of football!” Pele said. - DPA

Jail time for loss? Brazil football legend Romario, who is now a politician, says that the nation’s football chiefs should serve prison time for the team’s humiliating 7-1 World Cup defeat to Germany. One day after the semi-final thrashing, Romario said the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) was plagued by corruption because clubs have elected the same leaders for years. “Our football has been deteriorating for years. It is being dragged down by leaders who don’t even have the talent to juggle the ball,” Romario said in a letter posted on social media. He said CBF president Jose Maria Marin and his deputy, Marco Polo del Nero, who will take over in 2015, “should be in prison”. “This will be the Cup of shame.” - AFP

■ CRUSADERS V HIGHLANDERS

x Smith’s loss massive blow for Highlanders B MRAY ckendry ByY P Watrick YNNE G The Todd x” best piece of news- NZH Blackadder received this week, after Sam Whitelock’s return to fitness from a calf problem, must have been the withdrawal from tomorrow’s match of Highlanders fullback Ben Smith (right). It will be the first time in two years that Smith has not been available for the Highlanders. A leg infection, apparently suffered during the team’s defeat to the Waratahs in Sydney at the

weekend, kept him in hospital across the ditch for three nights, with coach Jamie Joseph saying he couldn’t consider the 28-yearold for selection after that. There is no underestimating the blow this is to the Highlanders, who have relied time and again on their evasive man at the back, nicknamed The Ghost for his ability to drift through defences. He, along with Malakai Fekitoa, kept the Highlanders in their first match against the Crusaders, a cliffhanger under the Dunedin

roof which would have quickly slipped away from the home side after halftime but for the urgent interventions of the All Blacks centre and fullback. Now, there will be more pressure on Fekitoa to provide the momentum for the Highlanders, and he showed against the Waratahs that he can be susceptible to a rushing defence which takes away his space. Blackadder, who has told his team to focus on a win, rather than worry about a bonus point

which will strengthen their claim for second place on the table, will want that pressure to continue. “You put your shoulders and arms around his legs and put him on the ground,” Blackadder said. “I thought the Waratahs gave us a real insight into how to shut him down. You just have to get up and knock him over.” The Highlanders, almost certain to have a place in the playoffs, could win the NZ conference if they beat the Crusaders with a bonus point. - APNZ

■ GOLF

Searching for the balance BY DANIEL RICHARDSON When David Leadbetter and his offsider Sean Hogan took on coaching Lydia Ko they probably didn’t realise just how dedicated the youngster was to the game. The experienced pair were confirmed in December as Ko’s new instructors after she split with long-time advisor Guy Wilson due to the geographical constraints of Wilson being based in New Zealand, while Ko set up camp in Florida. Ko’s rookie season as a full-time professional on the LPGA Tour has been a success with seven top-10 finishes from 14 events this year, while she also won the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic during the same week she celebrated her 17th birthday in April. “The challenge [now] is balancing her life,” Leadbetter said. “Because she’s an avid practicer and she’s very dedicated and the thing we are trying to get through to her, and her parents for that matter, is it’s all about balance and pacing yourself. “As time goes on it’s going to be really essential that she gets the right blend between rest and play.” Leadbetter pointed to another of his students in Michelle Wie, who is a hero of Ko’s, that when the American first rose to prominence as a teen, she was unable to balance the requirements of the game and suffered a major lull. At 24, Wie has since managed to strike the right mix and won her first major last month when she claimed the Women’s US Open. Leadbetter and Hogan meet with Ko two or three times a month in Florida and the Kiwi, ranked second in the world, devours all the knowledge they can feed her. “I am pretty content with the first half of the year,” Ko told the Herald. “Obviously there are always things to improve on but generally it’s been good overall. My goal was to try and get myself settled into the touring life as a professional and I think it’s been a gradual process which has progressed one step at a time and I’m getting more and more comfortable.” Leadbetter remained confident the North Shore product could have a career rivalling the greats of the women’s game. Ko teed off overnight in the first round of the Wo m e n ’ s British Open at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club as she began her quest for her first major title. - APNZ

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) You’ve got the support and means to give your heart a voice and put heart and mind on the same page, with no excuses to hide behind. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) You have the wakeup calls needed to raise the bar and push you to use the smart head for money, hindsight and motivation there to be tapped into. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With your clearest sense yet of what you’re fighting for, you’re moving into some of the most important days of the year on the income and work fronts. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) This is a valuable chance to look at whether you’re looking at things through fresh eyes or you’re simply seeing what you expect to see. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) There is a chance today to look more closely at the amount of give and take in your life, whether at work, in your social life or home. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) While there may be some work/life balance issues or tensions bought to a head today, it’s a reminder of the importance of having the right balance. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Moving into some of the most important days of your professional year means working smarter and balancing your time more effectively. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Any financial tension is going to provide the motivation to raise your income expectations and give your annual financial review the hurry up. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There is a need to be true to yourself, putting your relationships on notice during some of the most important relationship days of the year. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Any work tension today is a reminder of the dangers of haste, asking instead that you slow down, taking the time to measure twice and cut once. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) There is a reminder of the importance of having a balance between work and play and of give and take in all your human interactions. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Address any issues before what is likely to be your most important year on the work front in over a decade begins, tweaking things while you can.

Tim Perry and Joe Moody at Crusaders’ practice. Moody’s return, and a heel injury, means Perry will not be in the Crusaders squad this week. PHOTO JOSEPH JOHNSON

Perry to miss Highlanders clash BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The return of Joe Moody has seen former Mid Canterbury prop Tim Perry surplus to requirements at the Crusaders as he battles a niggling foot injury. Perry has been troubled by a Planta fascia (heel) injury that he inflamed during his last outing for the Crusaders, the midweek international against England.

He started that match ahead of Moody – in what was Moody’s return to first class rugby – during the international window. When the Super 15 started back up again Moody got the nod to cover All Black Wyatt Crocket from the bench, leaving Perry on the outer as he battles the niggling foot injury. He is hoping to get on top of it ahead of the Super 15 finals, but just where the Crusaders fit

Leg infection keeps Smith out P18

into that picture will be determined tomorrow night. After 18 weeks of competition, the Crusaders’ round robin culminates with the southern derby against the Highlanders. It is the final round of pool play and will determine the qualifiers for the play-off rounds. While the Crusaders are already guaranteed a play-off spot, they are also working towards a second place finish that

would see them proceed directly to a home semi-final. “That will require us to beat the Highlanders and beat them well,” coach Todd Blackadder said. “The Highlanders are a gutsy side though, and we know that they will be putting everything they’ve got into this encounter. “We are going to have to put in the performance of the season to come out on top, and that

is exactly what the team has committed to doing.” Blackadder has made just one change to his team to face the Highlanders where lock Sam Whitelock, who was a late withdrawal last week, has returned to the starting line-up. That pushes Jimmy Tupou back to the bench. The rest of the line-up is the same as that which beat the Blues last weekend.
