Meters become white elephants Cat shot and beaten P3

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton ratepayers own 12 expensive lemons – the pay and display machines cemented into place along East Street. After months of debate the long-awaited, modern-day parking machines were installed in October 2013. They came with a hefty $115,000 price tag (plus installation costs) and were expected to net the council a significant amount in parking money. Parking prices jumped from 60 cents to $1 an hour and fines rose to a hefty $40. Machines installed, the Ashburton Dis-

trict Council sat back and waited for the money to roll in. It didn’t. Those expensive machines have become a white elephant, they’re out of commission as much as they’re in use and they’re causing endless headaches for council staff. Since their installation one or more of the meters has been on the blink at any time and two years down the track, district councillors are acknowledging they got a raw deal; they’ve had enough of the faulty machines. At yesterday’s council service delivery meeting, councillor Peter Reveley said he was constantly fielding complaints from people fed up with finding the machines

out of action and while that might mean no parking fees, many were still receiving parking infringement notices, he said. Roading manager Brian Fauth inherited the faulty parking machines as part of his portfolio and said that the current maintenance contract had expired. Negotiations are under way for a new contractor. The real problem, however, lay in the difficulty in obtaining spare parts for the machines, he said.

■ WILD WINDS

Fires, winds cause problems By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@thguardian.co.nz

Helicopters with monsoon buckets assisted ground crews fighting a large fire in the Rakaia Gorge, as the district was battered by strong winds yesterday. The fire was called in at 4am yesterday, and firefighters from Methven and the surrounding rural area made the long trek up the gorge to the fire, which was at Glenfalloch Station – 62km, and over an hour’s drive, from Methven. Trees and vegetation were on fire across a wide front and the dry countryside and strong winds made life difficult for firefighters, while the remote location of the fire and a lack of cellphone coverage meant communication was also an issue.

By lunchtime the fire was largely under control, a Fire Service spokesperson said, but fire crews were likely to spend some hours at the scene dampening down hot spots. It’s understood the blaze may have been a result of a re-ignition from a previously lit, permitted fire. No buildings were threatened. Ashburton’s volunteer firefighters were also called out yesterday afternoon, shortly after 1.30pm, to a grass fire on the side of State Highway One at Winslow. Police were also called to assist with traffic control due to smoke drifting across the road. Dust was also causing issues on the road, with drivers reporting extremely low visibility on many roads, particularly around

Rakaia. Mt Hutt Ski Area recorded wind gusts of 130km/h in the car park with manager James Urquhart estimating gusts exceeded 200km/h at the top of the mountain. Students from Methven’s three schools had to be picked up by parents due to high winds forcing the cancellation of bus services. Lauriston School’s and Ashburton Borough School’s Lagmhor bus services were also cancelled and Carew Peel Forest School’s was delayed due to dust storms making driving hazardous. The wind also posed a danger at some workplaces, and the Ashburton and Rakaia Resource Recovery parks were closed mid morning due to the hazard posed by flying debris.

Crusaders come to town Three special Mid Canterbury kids got the chance to play bodyguard to four burly Crusaders yesterday. Owen Franks, Joe Moody, Jimmy Tupou and Michael Ala’alatoa were escorted into the EA Networks Centre yesterday afternoon by Bailey Longtime, 12, Reihana Carroll, 6, and Wynter Copland, 8. The Super Rugby side members were then swarmed by

more than 200 eager members of the public before signing autographs and running a few skills workshops. A sausage sizzle was also run during the visit as were giveaways, which included tickets to Crusaders’ future at home rugby games. The visit was organised by the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union and Agstaff and was free to attend.

From P1 “There are none in the country, we have to import them. Because of the length of time that takes we’re probably now at the point where we’ll have to take one or two out of service so we can use them as spare parts,” he said. “It’s become a day-by-day, week-by-week situation; if a machine goes down it stays down at the moment.” Because Ashburton’s pay and display parking machines were something of a New Zealand orphan, it could take up to two

months for replacement parts to be sourced. “I just hope the parking wardens are a bit sympathetic at times when meters are not working,” councillor Stuart Wilson said. The council has a history of parking meter failures with its original pedestal meters acquired as expired stock from another local authority also failing regularly. These are still in use on side streets and parts for these have to be sourced from meters decommissioned by other local authorities.

■ ASHBURTON DOCTORS

Altered weekend hours By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton GPs are experimenting with altered weekend opening hours. Ashburton GP spokesman Dr Mick Tarry said doctors were trialling different weekend surgery hours for a number of reasons including combating an increase in weekend consultation numbers and reducing congestion in waiting rooms. If congestion was reduced then so was the possibility of cross in-

fection, he said. Dr Charlotte Cox’s practice, Ashburton Health First and Dr Penny Holdaway’s practice, Gym Company Medical, are trialling booked appointments as well as walk-in appointments on weekends with altered hours. Ashburton Health First operates between the hours of 9am and 5pm and Gym Company Medical between 9am and 1pm and 4pm and 7pm. Sealy Street Medical intends to run similar clinics from 10am

until 5pm for the first time this weekend. Operating with extended hours will also reduce the number of calls outside clinic times and ensure staff in the clinics were not left to work on their own at weekends, Dr Tarry said. Last month Dr Tarry spoke to the Guardian about how Ashburton GPs were working on a method of attending to after-hours patients. Former GP spokeswoman Dr Charlotte Cox previously told the

Guardian the current after-hours system was an “antiquated hangover of days gone by” with each GP working roughly 535 hours or three months a year after-hours. A better after-hours schedule will not only help with recruitment but also ease pressure on Mid Canterbury’s GPs, Dr Tarry said. To access weekend clinics in Ashburton people can either contact the surgery directly or phone after hours on 0800 700 155.

Allenton cat shooter, beater strikes again By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

A shooter, who killed several cats in Ashburton’s Creek Road area in 2014 appears to be back on the rampage. A young couple who are expecting their first baby are now also facing thousands of dollars in veterinary bills as their much loved pet fights for his life after being shot and beaten. They moved into the Creek Road area, believing it would be a safe place to raise a family and say they’re now considering moving away. They’re afraid to be identified in case the shooter targets their cat again. When Billy didn’t return home on Sunday, his owners knew he was in trouble. He’s a cat who rarely leaves their property and spends his nights locked securely in their home. They scoured the neighbourhood, knocked on doors, asked questions and were shocked by what they were told. “They said to us, you’re new to the area, this is what’s been happening here…,” the woman said. They were horrified when a story unfolded of cats that had gone missing, cats that had been shot. It left them fearing the worst for Billy. They posted a message on Facebook on Lost Pets Ashburton and the response was immediate from people who had lost pets

Billy is starting the long, slow road to recovery after being shot and beaten by an Allenton cat-hater. PHOTO SUPPLIED and who suggested they knew the identity of the shooter. On Tuesday night Billy returned. He stumbled through his cat door and collapsed on the floor, his body battered and blood pouring from an eye. Their first thought was that he had been hit by a car, but an after hours call to a veterinarian and a scan told a different story. Billy had been shot three times. “He’d been shot in the jaw, the shoulder and neck. I said to the vet, he’s obviously been beaten too, and he said ‘yes’,” the man said. “He’s now at the vet’s on a drip, he’s taken one pellet out but his

eye may have to be removed and he may never walk properly again.” They’ve been told Billy’s survival chances are good, but his life has changed forever and so has the young couple’s. Their vet has told them that Billy’s injuries were inflicted at least two days before he returned home. They know he would have returned home as soon as he was hurt and that indicates he’s been trapped and beaten by the shooter, the man said. “We’re so upset about Billy, but what’s even more concerning is that we’re expecting a baby and we now feel vulnerable living

here because there’s obviously a nutcase out there.” One woman who lost two cats to the shooter about two years ago, was horrified to discover the person responsible was still in the neighbourhood. When her cats were shot, the woman said she contacted the police, who while investigating the incident were unable to identify the shooter. The young couple have not had the same assistance; when they asked for help they were simply told, contact the SPCA. Inspector John Keely confirmed he is investigating the shooting and is waiting for a vet’s report.

Peaceful end to siege Family of the man at the centre of the Kawerau siege have tearfully told how they “still love our son” after he was arrested by police, surrendering peacefully yesterday. Family members, who have been at the scene throughout Wednesday night, named the offender as 27-year-old Rhys Warren. Mr Warren allegedly shot and injured four police officers on Wednesday during a drug operation in the small Bay of Plenty town, after which he holed himself up in a family property. One officer remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition, another is in hospital waiting further treatment for a gunshot wound to his hand and the two others have been discharged. Warren was arrested after a 22hour stand-off with police, and wore sunglasses and a dark top as he left the scene in the back of an unmarked police car. Family members voiced encouragement and tapped the car as he was driven away. They gathered around to pray with a priest. Mr Warren’s mother, Renee Wetini, said her son was “clearer” in his head. “He’s a bit clearer in his head, he would have been scared yesterday, frightened ... with the helicopters and everything.” Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Mike Bush praised the efforts of all police staff and those in other emergency services who had worked on the overnight operation, with special thanks paid to colleagues in the New Zealand Defence Force who provided support. “I would also like to thank the public in the Bay of Plenty and beyond who have sent countless messages of support to the injured officers, and the wider police operation. It is heartening to see the goodwill we receive during such events, and we value this very much,” he said.

■ WATER SAFETY

In brief

Lessons ‘not enough’ By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Many Mid Canterbury children are not water-confident due to a lack of learn to swim opportunities, a local principal says. Allenton School principal Graham Smith said less children are learning how to swim with the decline in the number of school pools in the district due to maintenance and water testing costs. “In a country surrounded by water our children need to know how to swim.” The school’s swimming pool was closed in 2005 and they now bus children to the EA Networks Centre for lessons a couple of

weeks a year. This is not enough for a child to be confident in the water but the school cannot afford the time or cost of more lessons, he said. Having a pool at each school would enable children to learn the basics and get access to regular lessons, however, this is not possible any more without funding or community support, Mr Smith said. In the past the government cut funding to school pools and added stricter water testing requirements. All of this along with maintenance work on ageing pools meant many schools could not afford to keep them.

Nowadays if parents want their children to be good swimmers they have to pay for individual lessons which is not happening for many who cannot afford it, he said. “I think it’s a real shame.” Ashburton Netherby School principal Phil Wheeler said while children needed more swimming opportunities it was not possible for many schools to have pools anymore because of the costs. “It’s a very expensive undertaking.” Instead of individual school pools, Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone said the district could pull together and pro-

vide a mobile pool which could be transported to each school. A truck could be set up in a similar fashion to the mobile dentist with its own pool and instructors so children could get lessons throughout the year, he said. “I think it’s a reasonably feasible idea.” It also takes away the costs and all maintenance issues associated with running a pool. Having several weeks of tuition at an offsite pool a year is not sufficient for children learning to swim, he said. “I think something needs to be changed.

Today is Orange Friday, a day intended to raise awareness for national domestic abuse charity, Shine. Donations to the cause can be made at Panache Hair and Beauty on Beach Road or Safer Ashburton where Safe Families co-ordinator Anna Arrowsmith is selling the last of her orange balloons for $5 a pop. People are also encouraged to wear an item of orange clothing for the day.

Tramper airlifted A tramper who had fallen in the Mid Canterbury high country had to be airlifted out by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter on Wednesday. St John was alerted to the incident – which was on Miners Track, near Mt Somers – at 12.54pm. The patient was a woman in her 60s and she was flown to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries.

■ MAYFIELD A&P SHOW

Pacy porkers ready for time in the spotlight By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguaRdian.co.nz

Among 10 pigs in training for the Mayfield A&P Show this week, three or four are emerging as racing stars. However, that does not mean they will remain the frontrunners come race day on Saturday. Pig racing convenor Mike Farnell said it was impossible to simulate up to 400 people cheering on his father John’s on-farm practice race track. The noise from this on race day would change the environment and it could spur some of the slower pigs on. Mr Farnell said all 10 pigs were doing well on a practice race course, in preparation for the real thing, which is to be a 70-metre long obstacle course featuring jumps, small tunnels, and a slide with a mattress at the bottom. He said the biggest challenge of the day was faced not so much by the pigs, as they enjoyed it and liked to race to the end to get to a trough of food. “Pigs will do anything for their food.” Rather, it was faced by the volunteers putting the pigs’ bibs on. This was a job to be undertaken

The pigs’ numbers were on a mini saddle blanket with a head loop and velcro underneath. “It sounds very simple, until you try putting them on,” Mr Farnell said.

And as much as pigs liked food, they also liked to squeal, and this was something they did to excess when they were held to have the bibs put on before each race. The 10 pigs did not have names, although there was the obligatory

■ FARMERS’ MENTAL HEALTH

In brief

Rural women on Govt’s radar By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

The Minister for Primary Industries is in ongoing discussions with the dairy industry and colleagues to ensure the right support is available to help rural women who are struggling to cope in the downturn. Nathan Guy told the Guardian he was concerned about the mental health of the rural communities particularly in the dairy industry in light of market volatility. Mr Guy said lowered pay-outs impacted on the wider family as often dairy farms were a family business. “I know that on a farm it’s the wives and partners who play very important, supportive roles. Often they oversee calf rearing, book keeping, employing staff, strategic planning and childcare.” Although the Minister of Health, Jonathan Coleman, was not immediately planning any extra support for rural women outside of funding already granted for wider mental health initiatives, he did confirm he was investigating the issue with MPI. “The Ministry is looking at ways to improve support for rural women who are experiencing mental health and addiction issues, given the challenges that isolated communities face. “We are working with MPI and the Rural Health Alliance NZ to develop a plan that will set out the best way to provide support to rural women and their families.” Concerns have been raised by Farming Mums NZ facilitator Chanelle O’Sullivan that fund-

Zero hours out A law change which outlaws zero hours contracts has passed into law with unanimous support. The Employment Standards Legislation, which had its third reading yesterday, also extends paid parental leave to a wider range of workers. MPs applauded as it was passed into law. A large union-led campaign has fought for an end to zero hours contracts. Workplace Relations Minister Michael Woodhouse said the changes encouraged fairer and more productive workplaces. - NZME

Tully ‘mentally fit’

Dorie School principal Anthony Dorreen believes community events such as the hangi hosted at Dorie School last week are “hugely important” for farmers’ mental well-being. PHOTO SUPPLIED ing for the Rural Health Alliance and Rural Support Trusts was not helping many rural women who have been stuck on farm and are isolated, unhappy and bearing the brunt of the stress. Mid Canterbury Rural Women NZ president Sandra Curd said the federation was “very aware” of the issues among women with many members having experienced difficult conditions in the eighties downturn. She urged any woman that felt they needed to talk to someone outside of the farm to ring anyone within Rural Women. “We are there if they need our

help – as is the Rural Support Trust.” Mrs Curd believed the stress women were facing had been underestimated and said Rural Women would help in whatever way they could to alleviate problems, including helping schools and pre-schools to run community events if required. “Because the schools are the hub of the district.” Dorie School principal Anthony Dorreen said he welcomed any help that was offered when it came to hosting community events. Last week his school hosted a

combined hangi with the Dorie Community Pre-School and Dorie Charitable Trust. Around 150 members of the community came to the event and Mr Dorreen was considering making it an annual event. He agreed rural schools were the hub of the community and it was “hugely important” to get families along to the schools for events such as the hangi. Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust chairman Peter Reveley suggested farming districts need to return to past habits of regular gatherings and neighbours communicating regularly.

Ready for special show

Work on Ashburton Borough School’s performance centre is set to be finished in time for a special show. The New Zealand Opera is due to perform two shows at the school in early April and work on the new facility will be done by then. Principal Sam Winterbourn said he was looking forward to having the performances, one for students and the other for

the public, because it would probably be the first time many have had the chance to see live opera. “It’s a pretty exciting opportunity to have the New Zealand Opera perform at our school.” A past pupil, who works for the New Zealand Opera contacted the school and said they would love to perform there following a show in Christchurch, he said.

A judge last year ruled that convicted Ashburton Work and Income killer Russell John Tully was mentally fit to stand trial, it can now be reported for the first time. Tully was found to be mentally capable of facing charges of double-murder and attempted murder after a hearing under the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 at the High Court in Christchurch last year. Justice Cameron Mander came to his conclusions after considering health assessors report – the contents of which are permanently suppressed under statutory powers. But after Tully was found guilty on Wednesday, Justice Mander lifted a suppression order yesterday which had previously prevented the reporting of Tully’s fitness to stand trial hearing. - NZME

Phone app to alert council to problems around district By Sue NewmaN

Sue.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Alerting the Ashburton District Council to problems around the district is now as simple as taking a photo and sending it via your cellphone using a Snap Send Solve app. The council has joined the growing numbers of local authorities who are using the smart phone app to make it easier for residents to alert them to problems and issues. The app works by identifying

the location the photo is taken using the phone’s GPS data. It sends an email to the council which can include notes and the address of the incident as well as photos and location. The app is in its first week of use but council service delivery group manager Neil McCann believes it will become one of the council’s best information sources. “It’ll give us way better information and it will help us to understand the problems a lot better. It will help us tremendously,”

he said. While residents regularly contacted the council to report issues with things such as potholes, fallen trees and straying sheep, details could be sketchy and locations were sometimes not accurate. The new app would pinpoint the incident site without error, he said. Most Canterbury councils now have the app in their information armoury and users can make service requests across Canterbury. Council information systems manager Gordon Tupper said that

current data indicated the app could generate upwards of 2000 contacts over a six-month period. Users can choose whether or not to be identified, but without an email or contact details the council would not be able to provide the complaint filer with an outcome, Mr Tupper said. Because the app is about images, complaints such as those relating to noise would continue to be filed with the council by phone or over the counter, he said. When an incident is filed, it is

sent to the appropriate department at council to be dealt with. “Having this is about having options and ensure issues are collated and dealt with in a timely manner.” Information on the Snap Send Solve app is available on the Ashburton District Council’s website www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or by searching Snap Send Solve on Android or Apple app stores. Its use by the Christchurch City Council has seen 6552 incidents reported since June.

■ SIGN LANGUAGE

Course to teach basic skills BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A popular communication tool, sign language is no longer exclusive to the hearing impaired, says Ashburton tutor Carol Smith. To help educate the people of Mid Canterbury about sign language, Mrs Smith has started up her own sign language course – Sign for Life. Running for a short period last year, the course is now back in full swing with eight eager attendees signed up. The course is structured in eightweek blocks and helps to boost people’s confidence with signing as well as teaching basic skills and a range of words and phrases.

■ NORTH KOREA

Kim’s warhead a con? North Korea has caused a new stir by publicising a purported mock-up of a key part of a nuclear warhead, with leader Kim Jong Un saying his country has developed miniaturised atomic bombs that can be placed on missiles. The North’s Rodong Sinmun newspaper carried photos on its front page showing Kim and nuclear scientists standing beside what outside analysts say appears to be a model warhead part - a small, silverish globe with a ballistic missile or a model ballistic missile in the background. The newspaper said Kim met his nuclear scientists for a briefing on the status of their work and declared he was greatly pleased that warheads had been standardised and miniaturised for use on ballistic missiles. Information from secretive, authoritarian North Korea is often impossible to confirm and the country’s state media have a history of photo manipulations. But it was the first time the North has publicly displayed its purported nuclear designs, though it remains unclear whether the country has functioning warheads of that size or is simply trying to develop one.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry quickly disputed the North’s claim that it possesses miniaturised warheads. It called the photos and miniaturisation claim an “intolerable direct challenge” to the international community. The photos come amid heightened tensions after the United Nations imposed harsh sanctions on North Korea for its nuclear test and long-range rocket launch earlier this year. North Korea warned of preemptive nuclear strikes after the United States and South

Korea began their biggest-ever war games, which are to continue until the end of April. North Korea has previously said it has nuclear warheads small enough to put on longrange missiles capable of striking the US mainland, but experts have questioned those claims. The round object shown in the photos appears to be a model of a warhead trigger device which would contain uranium or plutonium, according to nuclear expert Whang Joo-ho of Kyung Hee University

in South Korea. He said it was obviously a model because Kim and others would not stand near an actual device because of concerns about radioactivity. Karl Dewey, a senior analyst for IHS Jane’s, a defence and aerospace publishing company, said the sphere could be a simple implosion weapon, possibly with hydrogen isotopes added to make it more efficient. “It is unlikely that the object in the photo is a thermonuclear bomb,” he said in a statement. - AP

Keanu Reeves new film Exposed has flopped spectacularly by taking less than $200 in its opening weekend at the UK box-office. The crime thriller was only screened in five cinemas, making a paltry $168. The terrible figure means it made $38 per theatre, roughly the price of two adult tickets. Exposed’s disastrous ticket sales and appalling reviews are a far cry from Reeves’ days as the face of The Matrix franchise, which over the course of three films made more than $2.25 billion at the box-office. The Los Angeles Times called it: “Awfully silly and just plain awful.” The film had terrible reviews but you would think Keanu could do better than less than £100” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

Chrystal gushing over Richie There are a lot of people who think Richie McCaw should be the Prime Minister of New Zealand – and Chrystal Chenery is one of them. The Bachelorette cosied up to the former All Blacks captain at a Cure Kids charity dinner at the Auckland Museum on Wednesday night and heaped praise on him via social media. Sharing a snapshot of them both on Instagram from the event, Chenery said she may have told McCaw he should be Prime Minister. “If Arnold Schwarzenegger can run California, Richie can run NZ, fine by me,” she wrote. The actual Prime Minister, John Key, probably feels hurt by that statement, especially since Chenery posed saucily for him at another cancer benefit last year. The blonde bombshell took the opportunity to get up close and personal with Key at the Getting Glamourous for Gynae fundraising dinner at the Langham. But it looks like her allegiances have changed.

Bonding with ‘Mike Hosking’ Jeremy Wells is looking forward to getting to know Mike Hosking more intimately. The Hauraki host has unveiled a new-look puppet for his WatchMe show Like Mike, a parody that features Wells impersonating the Newstalk ZB and Seven Sharp host with a series of Hosking-style witticisms and cliches. But Wells says that he’s still bonding with his new Hosking puppet. “To really get to know a puppet, you’ve got to spend a huge amount of time,” he says. “You’ve gotta do a lot of mirror work. You’ve gotta sleep with the puppet, eat with the puppet. You have to do all sorts of things that it’s best we don’t discuss.” Wells says his puppet version of Hosking, made by real puppeteers, cost “several thousand dollars” but is worth every cent. “Our last puppet was ventriloquist-style, kind of evil-looking and quite hard to use. It’s an amazing likeness, it’s quite freaky, but you can’t take that puppet out and about,” says Wells.

Volunteer firefighters just keep on giving Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

esterday’s big blow was an inconvenience to most, a nuisance to others but for a small number of people around the Ashburton District the big blow meant a day of high alert. High winds in summer most often mean fires and yesterday was no exception. Across the district a number of fires raged, smouldered and were extinguished, but without the efforts of dozens of men and women who willingly interrupted their lives to do the job of extinguishing those fires we’d have been in all kinds of trouble come nightfall. Ashburton, in common with many other rural districts, relies on volunteers to man its fire fighting teams. While cities have paid crews. We have volunteers. And God bless them. We’re fortunate. When the fire siren goes our volunteers drop whatever they’re doing and head to their fire station. Within minutes they’re kitted up, on the engine and out the door. They do this week after week and sometimes day after day mid-summer. The cost to them as individuals is high. Those who own businesses take time away from those businesses, those who are employed have employers who are happy to have gaps in their staffing ranks, sometimes for several hours on end. Occasionally for days. Rural fire crews in particular travel huge distances each time a 111 call is made. Yesterday they were up the Rakaia Gorge from the very early hours of the morning until well into the afternoon. Communication was at best, difficult, and arranging shift changes almost impossible. No one complained. They did what needed to be done. At the other end of the district, crews in the east were battling fires of their own. And in between other crews were doing the same. Every fire disrupted many lives, but no one complained. As individuals living in this district it’s important that we stop occasionally and take the time to think about the huge debt of gratitude we owe every volunteer firefighter in this district, urban and rural. It’s easy to take these guys for granted. They do a job that most of us would not want to do and they do it for absolutely no reward. Their payback comes in job satisfaction, they’re the ultimate unsung heroes.

According to some Japanese researchers, the stress of returning to work on Monday morning can trigger a dangerous increase in blood pressure.

s if the Monday morning 4am alarm isn’t hard enough, I arrive at work and find this out. The stress of returning to work on Monday morning can trigger a dangerous increase in blood pressure, according to a study from Tokyo Women’s Medical University. This may explain why there are more deaths from heart attacks and strokes on Monday morning than at any other time of the week. In fact, there are 20 per cent more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day. Yes 20 per cent more!! Here’s the good news: An early morning peak in blood pressure is probably a normal part of the body’s 24-hour rhythm and is not likely to be a problem for healthy people. However, just to be safe … maybe you better call in sick this Monday morning? Then on Wednesday I discovered that Facebook is set to pay each of its UK workers … a $1.1 million bonus. It’s not solely because they have a heart of gold and want to be the best employers ever; it’s a creative way to save

The company is paying out circa $397 million in total, with payments parcelled out between now and the end of 2018. By doing so, Facebook can count the cash as ‘taxable expenses’ and slash a large amount off the net profit it has to pay corporate tax on. While the soonto-be millionaire staffers are celebrating, the British government is likely frustrated, as just a week ago Facebook promised it would revamp its tax structure after criticism it was avoiding taxes in the United Kingdom. It’s not the only company to

take advantage of the loophole, as Amazon and other multinationals have taken advantage of it as well. Note to self: Speak to boss about how to avoid corporate tax … Not that I am ungrateful for my three bags of rice a week! While I’m talking food, this from France.

Richard’s customers have embraced her strange insect pastas with such enthusiasm that she’s struggling to keep up with demand. The process involves pulverising crickets, grasshoppers, or a combination of the two insects to create a special flour, which she then mixes with normal pasta ingredients like eggs and wheat flour. She claims the insects add to the flavour of the pasta and turn it into high-protein cuisine. Those on the Atkins Diet will love this news. So let me get this right, pasta made from insects is okay and yet people still scoff at my mouse flavoured cat food scheme? A quick story to finish.

■ OFFICIAL CASH RATE

OCR cut surprises markets The New Zealand dollar fell almost 1 1/2 US cents and swap rates tumbled after Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler surprised financial markets with a cut to the official cash rate and signalled more to come. The kiwi dollar touched 66.38 US cents, the lowest in a week, from 67.78 cents immediately before the 9am release of the monetary policy statement. The tradeweighted index dropped to 71.44 from 72.70. The two-year swap rate fell to 2.25 per cent from 2.45 per cent. “The trade-weighted exchange rate is more than 4 per cent higher than projected in December and a decline would be appropriate given the weakness in export prices,” Wheeler said in his statement. “Further policy easing may be required to ensure that future average inflation settles near the middle of the target range.” Most traders hadn’t expected a cut until June because Wheeler’s signals since the December statement had suggested he could look through one-off shocks such as

Stephens said he was “slightly surprised” by yesterday’s move, even though Westpac has seen a cut as inevitable, because of the signals Wheeler had been sending that he wouldn’t make a mechanical response to weak headline inflation, which was just 0.1 per cent in 2015. “Back in January we were actually forecasting that the RBNZ

expect commodity prices to be subdued for a sustained period,” he said. “This is important for the prices of both New Zealand’s exports and imports.” Westpac Banking Corp chief economist Dominick Stephens says he expects a further cut to the OCR at the June MPS, lowering the benchmark rate to 2 per cent.

would cut at yesterday’s meeting,” Stephens said. “But then the RBNZ governor gave a speech cautioning against focusing excessively on headline inflation. “The strong language in that speech seemed to pour water on the idea of an imminent OCR cut. We became very uncertain about the timing of cuts, but in the end felt it was more likely that the RBNZ would hold off before actually moving. Not so – the Reserve Bank instead chose to move immediately.” Yesterday Wheeler also lowered the forecast track to the 90day bank bill rate, often seen as a proxy for the OCR, by half a percentage point over the next two years, implying another reduction is still to come. “Headline inflation is expected to move higher over 2016, but take longer to reach the target range,” Wheeler said. “Further policy easing may be required to ensure that future average inflation settles near the middle of the target range.” – NZME

The market week in review T

his week markets have had a strong run, as commodity prices have staged a rebound. The NZX50 continues to hold up well and has hit a record close on a daily basis. All major markets are in positive territory for March and oil prices have climbed to above $US40 a barrel, as producers again discuss potential supply restrictions. Two major events have occurred in New Zealand this week, the first of which was the downgrade to the forecast dairy payout for the current season. Fonterra lowered its payout level to $3.90 per kilo of milksolids from $4.15 early this week. The move was not a surprise by any stretch of the imagination, as it was predicted by most economists after four of the last five dairy auctions have seen prices fall. This is the lowest payout seen since 2006-07 season and is of concern for a number of reasons. Firstly, most farmers have a breakeven point of around $5.30 so, even after adding on the dividend, most will be operating at a loss for the second year running after a low payout last year also. Secondly, Fonterra normally announces a preliminary forecast for the next season around May and, unless there is a significant rebound between now and then, farmers are likely to face a third year of sub-$5 payouts, and consequently a third year of operating at a loss. This will put pressure on the dairy sector and all related industries, not to mention the regional economies that rely on dairy farmers. It is important to remember that all farming is cyclical and

most dairy farmers have seen payouts at this level previously. While it will be tough for the dairy industry, it will be most difficult for newer more indebted farmers. However, if they can ride out this low point, the long-term outlook for the dairy sector is strong and a lower dollar will be helpful. The second major event on the New Zealand economic calendar this week was the muchanticipated Reserve Bank of

“

... the longterm outlook for the dairy sector is strong

New Zealand meeting, with the official cash rate (OCR) review and monetary policy statement. Prior to the meeting there was a small possibility of a rate hike, with markets pricing in about a 25 per cent chance. Thus it was a surprise when Governor Graeme Wheeler announced that the OCR had been cut by 25 basis points to a record low level of 2.25 per cent.

There were a number of factors that drove the cut which included the challenging environment that the dairy sector is facing. The New Zealand dollar remains stubbornly high and is about 4 per cent higher than December projections suggested it would be. Inflation remains low and expectations are for it to stay that way. In saying that, the RBNZ conceded that domestic growth remains steady and will be supported by strong migration, increasing tourism spending and a strong pipeline of construction. Some of the risks outlined in the monetary policy statement were from overseas. The governor acknowledged that the global growth outlook had weakened further since the December statement, particularly in China, emerging market economies and Europe. Financial market volatility has increased and commodity prices have remained low. The monetary policy statement concluded that, given the challenging outlook and the expectation that inflation will stay lower for longer, monetary policy will continue to be accommodative. It also gave weight to expectations that another cut could occur later in the year as was expected, but this will be dependent on data. Following the cut to the OCR, the New Zealand dollar weakened against its major trading partners, which was one of the intended outcomes. The Kiwi dollar is now at its lowest level against the Australian dollar since mid last year. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners. This article should not be deemed as advice.

In brief Ferns finish fourth The New Zealand women’s football side finished fourth in their maiden Algarve Cup campaign after a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout loss to Iceland yesterday. A 27th-minute goal from Iceland midfielder Andrea Hauksdottir gave Iceland the lead but the Football Ferns levelled in the 69th minute through Amber Hearn. Penalties were needed to decide the outcome and both teams scored each of their five spot kicks before going to sudden death where Anna Green’s sixth penalty was saved and Iceland sealed the result with their sixth strike. - NZME

Another Kiwi at Tahs

Scruff and Co take the spoils The latest summer round of the Terrace Downs Resort Fast Fours competition has concluded with Scruff and Co narrowly managing a repeat win, finishing just one point clear of KirMac on the ladder. Peter Leonard and Rhys Cromie each won their singles matches in straight sets, although Cromie was pushed to the end 4-2, 4-3 by Jason Feutz. Leonard prevailed over Barry

Jury with a loss of only one game, followed by a similar score in the doubles, giving Scruff & Co the 3-0 victory over BarryJase. The other contending team, KirMac, edged a 2-1 win over ConAid. Neil McCann downed Connor Brosnahan in straight sets, but Aidan Mitchell squared things up by beating Peter Kirwan - also in straight sets. The doubles were all KirMac,

however, with a 4-0, 4-2 score line, while the other section one match was abandoned due to a lack of personnel. In section two, Young Guns Tyler Leonard and Harry Dargue took the spoils to finish four points clear of the MissHits ladies and BynNic - who made a late run for glory after a bad start. In the final round, Dargue beat Gabby Muschamp in straight sets, but Sarah Paton evened the

score by beating Leonard convincingly. The deciding doubles went to the wire with Young Guns winning the first set 4-0 and MissHits taking the second 4-0 before the tiebreak went to the youngsters 5-3. Meanwhile, BrynNic beat the Racqueteers 3-0, and MatJade beat the DorieMen 2-1. The autumn round of Fast Fours will begin on April 5.

Coldstream, Lauriston face off in final By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Coldstream and Lauriston will battle it out for the last piece of senior cricket silverware on offer in the Muirhead Rosebowl final tomorrow. Neither of the two finalists were prolific in the earlier Pritchard Shield competition – Lauriston won three and lost three, while Coldstream could only muster three wins and four defeats. But both teams have forged entertaining journeys to the Rosebowl final, albeit contrasting ones. Coldstream’s victory over Lauriston in week one of the competition in late January may offer a mental edge, and defeat in last

Australia’s new WBA heavyweight boxing champion Lucas Browne has laughed off an approach from Joseph Parker’s camp. Parker spokesman Craig Stanaway has claimed Parker would “humiliate” Browne. “We will unleash Joseph Parker onto Lucas Browne any time he’s ready ... however, Lucas has proved he has no intention of accepting the challenge,” Stanaway said. Browne’s manager Matt Clark said he “laughed reading those comments”. “They asked us to give them a figure. We did and they couldn’t match it. Put it this way it’ll be less than what Lucas will be getting paid for his next fight”. - NZME

year’s final to Tech will certainly garner plenty of motivation. Coldstream have lost just one Rosebowl match this term, which happened to be Pritchard and Studholme Shield winners Tech’s only victory of a dismal campaign. In last weekend’s semi-final, Richard Print’s side notched a fine six-wicket win over Allenton and are expected to be at full strength tomorrow. Lauriston’s path to this year’s final has been a windier one. Jeremy Duckmanton’s team won two and lost two, like fellow semi-finalists Allenton and Methven, but were fourth on the round-robin ladder due to an inferior run rate. After kicking off the Rosebowl

with a loss to tomorrow’s opponents Lauriston they returned to action with a defeat to Methven on February 13, but haven’t been beaten since. A 51-run win over Allenton came in week four, followed by a four wicket win over Tech to secure a place among the final four. Despite modest performances in the round-robin stages of the Pritchard Shield and the Rosebowl, Lauriston’s eight wicket demolition of a promising Methven outfit in last Saturday’s semifinal sent a clear message that they should not be underestimated in tomorrow’s final. Muirhead Rosebowl final: Lauriston v Coldstream, Ashburton Coldstream’s Richard Print Oval, 12.30pm.

The Waratahs now have a Kiwi double act at their helm. Andrew Hore, a New Zealander who has spent the past four years at Welsh club Ospreys, has been unveiled as the Super Rugby’s new chief executive, joining former All Black Darryl Gibson who coaches the Sydney-based franchise. Hore, not to be confused with the former All Blacks hooker of the same name, will replace CEO Greg Harris next month. He will also take charge of the NSW Rugby Union. - NZME

Goromaru benched Japan star Ayumu Goromaru has been benched with Karmichael Hunt restored to fullback amid big changes to the struggling Queensland Reds under the new coaching regime. Co-coaches Nick Stiles and Matt O’Connor wasted no time exerting their influence following predecessor Richard Graham’s sacking, handing three players their starting debuts for tomorrow’s away Super Rugby clash with the Melbourne Rebels. They plumped for a new-look front row with loosehead prop Sef Faagase and hooker Andrew Ready both getting their first starting roles, replacing regular prop Ben Daley (benched) and rake Saia Faingaa (injured). - AAP

Fitzy backs Hartley Former All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick believes Eddie Jones has selected the right man in Dylan Hartley to skipper England through the Six Nations. World Cup winner Fitzpatrick, who was part of New Zealand’s triumphant 1987 team, rates hooker Hartley’s hard edge as an asset that can be vital for any leader. The 52-yearold former hooker paid Hartley a compliment in likening the England skipper to himself, recognising the impact being made captain of New Zealand in 1992 had on his own game and his outlook. - NZME

In brief

■ ASHBURTON

Locals chasing first success A newly-formed Ashburton training partnership have high hopes of opening their account today. Ashley McKay has recently joined forces with her father Russell and they are expecting the former North Island mare Ashwini to go close to crediting them with their first winner in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race. “We’ve changed a bit of gear on her and we’ll take the ear covers off and put the hood on her,” Ashley McKay said. “She’s working really well and she just needs to finish off her races a touch better. “The hood should put that finishing edge on her and I can’t really see why she can’t win.” A multiple placegetter when previously prepared by Stephen Marsh at Cambridge, Ashwini has weighed in twice from four starts from her new quarters with apprentice Samantha Wynne to take over the reins today from McKay. “I’ve still got my licence and I will ride the odd one, but I want to focus on the training side of things,” McKay said. The stable will also be represented in the Win a Trip to the Melbourne Cup with RD1 Maiden by Flytime. He has led in each of his two starts before dropping out of contention. “We’ve been trying to get him to settle so he can finish off his races,” McKay said. “Hopefully he will take a sit, he’s still learning and the penny will drop soon.”

New Zealand’s two champion three-year-old pacers are destined not to meet this season after Waikiki Beach was ruled out of the New Zealand Derby. Punters were expecting a first-ever clash with stablemate Lazarus, who is also unbeaten as a three-year-old. But co-trainer Mark Purdon says the pair now won’t meet. “He needed a break after the NSW Derby so with the time he is having in the paddock, he will miss the Derby down here,” said Purdon. - HRNZ John Bell blames himself for Storming The Tower’s failure in the 2014 Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup at Ellerslie, but the Cambridge trainer believes he has the Storm Creek gelding in the right order to set the record straight in this year’s feature. Storming The Tower has raised confidence with a string of good staying performances with fourth placings in the Waikato and City Of Auckland Cups, both over 2400m, and a last-start Taranaki Cup third over 1800m. - NZME

Top jockeys boost for Ashburton races Racing action returns to Ashburton today with the autumn meeting providing an ‘Industry Day’ event. A seven-race lower class programme contains those runners coming back from more ambitious assignments at feature meetings with horses beginning their autumn/early winter campaigns. The presence of North Island jockeys Lisa Allpress and Sam Collett will add spice to the jockeys’ competition and Allpress, currently the leading rider for the season on 87 wins, will be looking to add to the tally and maintain her break on the chasing group. The first race is scheduled for 12.33pm and the last at 4.02pm making for a compact afternoon of entertainment. Thirteen locally trained gallopers will face the starter, eight provided by the Jan Hay stable, on a track where the locals often win more than their share. The opening 2100m event should be dominated by the top two in the book, Hi Yo Ugo who appears a progressive stayer in the making, and Mister Spiderman, a three-race winner which will appreciate the smaller field. She’s Payback is likely to complete the trifecta. Dillinger has not fired as expected but will get few better

opportunities to return to the winners circle and the stats are appealing enough to put him on top in the second. Double Blue dictated last time from the front and a repeat tactic would make the mare difficult to roll. Brah Spring has proven to be consistent when in form and the last start effort was encouraging enough. The maiden 1200 contains some impressive recent trials performers and two in-form race day horses. Final Say and Weedy have undoubted potential and both had fiscal admirers when on debut. Despite failures to meet these expectations, both have returned from breaks to look the part. Vicar’s Daughter should get the firm track it needs to deliver while I Just Rocked Up has the form heading in the right direction to win this. Acute Shock is another with prospects. The fourth has drawn a small five-horse field but form is plentiful and the winner is not that obvious. Mels Evie and Madame Jamai have by far the best distance credentials and probably should contest the finish, but as frontrunners they will be vulnerable to late finishing types like Nine Pins. These three look to be the trifecta.

Lisa Allpress will be looking to add to her lead in the jockeys’ premiership at Ashburton today.

Pearl series races are always hotly contested affairs due to the higher than normal stake and this one in race five is no different. Los Cabos was desperately unlucky when last produced on the home course and from the barrier she looks the major contender for top honours. Another local Ashwini should get a good run in transit and provide a good sight in the straight, while Fun Fair, Lambretta and Sweet Indulgence will have sound chances on recent race or trial form.

Race six contains the highest rated horses at the meeting and the benchmark conditions have a sizeable weight spread. With mares receiving their usual 2kg allowance Miss Alice, a sixtime distance winner, looks well placed to take this out. However she has not been as convincing under these conditions before and is not a home run. Pepper Mill has the right form line and has fine potential while Toma Valea will appreciate the small field and ran an excellent race here in good company a month ago. The last on the day has an even feel about it and those taking quaddies might want a wide spread. Rapt has the best formline and from the draw another lower digit finish is likely. Tricoteuse won its maiden like a topliner but injuries have plagued it since. It would win if all was well. The local He’s Gold went a beauty two starts ago when ranging up to win and just coming to the end of it. Ignore the last start, it had legitimate excuses. Not Available looks promising and ran them ragged at Riccarton to notch its maiden victory. A similar performance will have most battling to stay in touch here also.

Maytra Dee’s maiden success has kept her Group One hopes alive. The Brue Wallace-trained filly opened her account over ground at Avondale on Wednesday to keep her on track for a start in the Wellfield New Zealand Oaks at Trentham on Saturday week. Placed in six of her previous eight attempts, Maytra Dee remains long in the Oaks market at $61 behind the $2.50 favourite Sofia Rosa. - NZME

Ritchie targets Kewney Shaune Ritchie is hoping to restart Let Her Rip’s autumn campaign in Saturday’s Gr.2 Kewney Stakes (1400m) at Flemington. The Cambridge trainer is treating her first-up ninth in the Gr.2 Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield a fortnight ago as a non-event, when she was pocketed when looking likely to make a late bid. “She never got to extend a gallop at all which is a great shame because she’s got such an effective record first-up,” Ritchie said. - NZME

Bonus up for grabs Weight of numbers suggests the $100,000 Haunui Farm Diamond bonus might be struck at Ellersie tomorrow. The bonus is on offer to any winner of the Gr.1 Sistema Diamond Stakes sired by a Haunuibased stallion with Xiong Feng, The Soultaker and Wyndspelle representing Iffraaj and Caorunn, Cavallucci and Midnight Gossip by Showcasing. The winning owner will receive $60,000, $30,000 to the breeder (the person who paid the service fee to either stallion) with $10,000 to the trainer. - NZME

Slipper ride for Bosson Crack Kiwi jockey Opie Bosson can’t wait for his first ride in the world’s richest two-year-old race after this week landing the ride on French Fern in Saturday week’s $A3.5m Golden Slipper. Bosson was thrilled to secure the ride on the David Payne-trained French Fern, who sealed entry into the Golden Slipper at Rosehill with her win in last Saturday’s Gr.2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) at Randwick. - NZME

Jones grabs early lead By DaviD Skipwith Australian Steve Jones has returned to golf after a nine-month break to claim the lead on the opening day of the New Zealand Open in Queenstown yesterday. Jones put his career aside last year to aid his wife in her struggle to overcome a brain tumour, and made an impressive start to the four-day tournament in wet and windy conditions to finish at six under par. The 32-year-old finished ahead of fellow countryman Callan O’Reilly, and thirdplaced Manawatu rookie Joshua Munn, who is tied for third with Victorian Rory Bourke at four under. Starting on the back nine at The Hills course, Jones got off to a rough start with two bogeys, but bounced back strongly to nail six birdies over the next eight holes. A second bogey on the fourth was merely a blip as he regained his momentum with three more birdies helping him to a strong score. “I’m very happy and very excited,” said Jones. “Last year was a little tough. I took the year off and did the right thing and looked after my wife, so I’m happy I’m able to play again. “When I started, it was gusting pretty high and raining, and I thought, ‘this is

going to be a tough day’. “I got off to a pretty shaky start but managed to chip one in on my third hole. “That got me going and I just took it from there.” Palmerston North product Munn enjoyed what he described as a “crazy day” and was pleased with a top-three finish after making his pro debut at the New Zea-

land PGA event at Remuera last week. The 25-year-old began with an eagle and claimed four birdies to enjoy a share of the lead early on but slipped with bogeys on the third and 18th. “It was a good day and I’m really pleased with that score,” he said. “That wind and rain came in and you didn’t know which way the wind was coming from and it was a bit of a guessing game really.” Tournament favourite Ryan Fox fought his way to a three-way tie for ninth with fellow Kiwis Peter Smith and Craig Palmer at two under. The 29-year-old began his round on Millbrook’s back nine, with bogeys on the 15th and fourth holes the only blemishes, while back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th and another pair on the second and fifth holes assisted his cause. “I was very happy,” said Fox. “It was one of those days where you could play your way out of the tournament really easily. “There were a few things I don’t think I’ve ever seen happen on a golf course with a bit of wind blowing in different directions on the same hole. “Hopefully tomorrow it’s not too windy and we can make a few birdies out there and put some good scores up.” - NZME

■ CRICKET

Security fears at World Twenty20 Pakistan have delayed their departure to India for the World Twenty20 as they await security clearance from the country’s interior ministry, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board said yesterday. PCB chairman Shahryar Khan said the team had been due to leave for Kolkata en route to New Delhi at noon on Wednesday, but the departure had been put on hold. “We are awaiting the green light from interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, who will assess a security delegation report and will let us know about the plan,” Khan told media. Pakistan sent a security assessment team to India on Monday after voicing repeated concerns about arrangements following extremist threats. Khan said the departure of Pakistan’s women’s team was also on hold pending clearance. It was unclear how long the delay would be.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Alone you’ll get stuck on a project, but with a partner you’ll accomplish what you both can be proud of. Keep with the same partner you started with. Your loyalty will be rewarded. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Living the easy life gives you no joy. There’s something in you that needs to contribute in a worthwhile way. Make someone else’s life better, that’s what will give you joy. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re the only one holding you back. Today, the recognition of this may inspire complicated emotions that will fill the entirety of your emotional wheelhouse. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You don’t always wish to be spoiled by great waves of admiration and affection. Once in a while, it’s nice to feel the rush of power from knowing someone is crazy about you! LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Follow the bright lights and noise of the crowd. There’s something in the mix that will speak to you. You defeat the odds and carry at least one other forward into victory. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Some efforts that wouldn’t even make your top-10 list will also be richly rewarded, so you’ll be faced with the challenge of being extremely honest with yourself. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There is always an element of unconscious material at work in the situation. However, now it’s bursting through your awareness in such a way that you can no longer ignore it, at least inwardly. It may still be inappropriate to talk about. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): While you are won over by positive thinking, you are quite sceptical of those who seem to be operating from a state of chronic denial. While you don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, neither do you want to co-habit inside of it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Not all attention is love. Those with a victim mentality get that wrong. You’ll show real love by believing in a person’s ability to help himself. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your daydreams will be powerful, so this is the perfect time to imagine yourself as the healthy, successful, happy person you want to be. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): A system you put in place long ago is still up and running and helping you (and others!) get through life. Let it be an inspiration as you create a new system this weekend. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You want your loved ones to feel your love, so you demonstrate it in the way you think they would most like to receive it. It is worth mentioning this may be very different from how you’d most like to give it.

Brea Roderick’s multisport success has continued with a win in the junior girls’ section of the South Island Secondary Schools’

Triathlon, held in Oamaru on Sunday. The 13-year-old will add the victory to a growing list of first place finishes after taking junior girls’ honours at the recent Can-

Boxing camps up the trash talk P16

terbury Secondary Schools’ Triathlon in Pegasus, before being crowned champion girl at Mount Hutt College’s under-14 athletics on Monday. The starlet made her break-

through in 2015 after being selected to the Canterbury primary schools’ cross country team and then won the Canterbury primary schools’ triathlon. Roderick, who is also a mem-

ber of the Ashburton Jennian Homes Swim Team, will now be turning her attention to the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Triathlon in Queenstown next month.
