Vet offers dairy farmers support

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Tough day on the courts P24

Vetlife is offering a generous support package, including $150,000 of free consultations to struggling dairy farmers as they and other vets noticed a slow-down in call-outs during calving.

The package includes a complementary two hours with a vet to review and discuss farmers’ animal health

plans and benchmarked animal health costs from last season.

A delayed payment system has also been set up for some drugs to ensure animal welfare standards are maintained by farmers during the calving season.

Vetlife Ashburton dairy veterinarian Lorna Humm said there had been a marked decline in vet call-outs for dairy farmers at this time of year as

many were choosing to euthanise cows on farm rather than treating them.

“We want to do what we can for dairy farmers. They are our lifeblood.”

Dr Humm said the gesture was “from the heart” and not driven by commercial realities.

Beckham slams critics of dummy David Beckham has slammed critics who questioned his fouryear-old daughter Harper’s use of a dummy. The ex-England star hit back at criticism saying others had no right to judge him as a parent, after an article in the Daily Mail suggested the youngster was too old to still need the pacifier.

The former footballer posted a screenshot of the article on his Instagram page to his 10.1 million followers, accompanied with a message indicating his daughter had been unwell. It read: “Why do people feel they have the right to criticise a parent about their own children without having any facts ?? Everybody who has children knows that when they aren’t feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best and most of the time it’s a pacifier so those who criticise think twice about what you say about other people’s children because actually you have no right to criticise me as a parent ...”

Lovato on wee and weed Demi Lovato has confessed to peeing and smoking weed in a swimming pool, picking her nose and eating food dropped on the floor in a candid, quickfire Australian radio interview. The pop star was taking part in DJ Kent ‘Smallzy’ Smalls’ Yes/No paddle game on his Nova 96.6 show this week when things got a little filthy. She admitted to picking up dropped food and eating it and then misunderstood the host when he asked her if she had ever “weed” (urinated) in a pool. Asking if Smalls meant had she ever smoked pot in a pool, Lovato held up her ‘yes’ paddle and said, “Hmmm”, and then when the radio personality explained himself, she confessed to peeing in a pool, but didn’t expand on where.

Then, asked if she picked her nose, Lovato replied, “Who hasn’t picked their nose? How gross would it be if people didn’t pick their nose and it built up for years?” The Heart Attack singer also confessed to stealing candy from a store when she was “about eight”, recalling, “I made (filled) my bag and then I ran out and I didn’t buy it.”

Fancy a frozen beer?

It’s been a “fun, creative and exciting” five weeks for Oamaru brewer Jess Wolfgang. In a collaboration with Craftwork Brewery and the New Zealand Pink Boots Society, Miss Wolfgang has produced a frozen black India pale ale (IPA) to be featured at the Beervana Festival in Wellington this weekend. After the black IPA had been brewed and fermented at Craftwork Brewery in Oamaru, Miss Wolfgang decided to “have a bit more fun” with it. Instead of freezing the beer in a traditional way, she loaded the two fermenting tubs in the car with her snowboarding gear and drove to Ohau skifield, where she froze the beer in the snow.

Ledger’s Joker journal emerges A journal Heath Ledger wrote as he got into character as Batman villain The Joker has been unveiled in a documentary. The Australian star won a posthumous Oscar for his performance, having died six months before the film’s release after suffering an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in 2008.

It has now emerged Ledger wrote a disturbing journal while he was preparing for the part and it has been shown off in a documentary about the actor called Too Young To Die. A trailer for the film shows his father Kim leafing through the diary, showing off Ledger’s collection of joker playing cards, clown make-up pictures and stills from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. The journal also features bizarre lists and scrawlings, including a note which reads, “Inside. He’s laughing red and black and red and black till there’s nothing left to laugh. Until, almost tenderly, he turns inside out through his mouth.”

A Dunedin woman has been left $2500 out of pocket after a man she met online took advantage of her by telling her what she “wanted to hear”. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said a man from America added her on Facebook and started messaging her. “He was saying things like he needed a friend. Within a day he started saying he loved me and could see a future with me,” she said. That carried on for two weeks before he told her he had sent her a parcel with valuable gifts in it, and gave her the track and trace number. She then received emails from a courier company in Malaysia asking for $2500 in tax. She got out a loan and paid the $2500 before the courier company emailed again saying she would have to pay $15,000 for insurance – so she called the man who told her there was $600,000, a diamond ring, a watch, some jewellery and an iPhone 6. “He said ‘please, please, please’ and I’m the type of person who will do anything for anyone so I went to the bank to get another loan. That’s when the lady there said I think we’re being scammed, I think we need to go and see the police.”

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Dishing up food, shoes, clothes

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury schools are still having to provide food, shoes, and uniforms for pupils who are going without.

Unprecedented demand for food parcels this winter has already led to empty shelves at the Salvation Army Foodbank, and schools have also been helping out where they can to help ease the burden on local families.

Ashburton Intermediate

School’s breakfast programme was in danger of being axed last year until the school board and community groups decided to step in and provide enough funding to keep it going.

Last year’s high demand for the programme has carried through to this year, according to principal Gavin Cooper.

At any given time there could be as many as 60 children using the service, he said.

However it was difficult to accurately gauge how many chil-

dren were actually in need as some pupils used it as a social gathering as well as a source of breakfast, he said.

“It’s hard with the kids because we don’t sort of ask,” he said.

“We try to correlate with the shoes, you know who’s got shoes, who’s got uniforms, but we’re handing out that much stuff incrementally that we haven’t got good data to look up.”

Rakaia School has also seen

steady demand for its breakfast and lunch programmes.

Principal Mark Ellis said the school managed to provide for students because of the generosity of the local community, including one benefactor who donated $40 per week to help the school provide essentials.

“Someone turned up the other week and they’d come across a set of 20 sweatshirts, and they were blue, which is the school colour,” he said.

“So I went and got them logo-

ed and they’re for sale for 15 bucks.”

“We’re blessed to have a good community around us.”

The combination of a bitterly cold winter and a longer stand-down period for seasonal workers has seen more demand placed on support services recently.

Foodbank manager Judith Lilley told the Guardian that she had not seen food stocks as low as they were in the 10 years she had been on the job.

Central South Island Fish and Game is appealing to the public to keep an eye out for any future illegal salmon releases in Mid Canterbury.

The plea follows the organisation having been unsuccessful in prosecuting anyone following the confirmation of illegally released salmon in Lake Camp last year.

Manager Jay Graybill said the investigation into the illegal release had been abandoned following insufficient evidence including inconclusive otolith readings.

The otoliths, or ear bones, were removed from salmon captured from the lake and sent away for laboratory testing.

They were expected to show where the fish originated from.

“We couldn’t pinpoint a source,” Mr Graybill said.

The otolith marker was still available for investigative use in the event of any future breaches, he said.

Game always attempted to monitor fisheries, however the Ashburton Lakes was a large area.

There was no additional netting planned in the area, but personnel kept their ears open and he would like to think responsible anglers would pass on information.

“We do rely on the eyes and ears of the public if they see anything,” Mr Graybill said.

The discovery of the salmon raised the spectre of renegade fishery volunteers, as it was most likely the fish would have had to have been introduced earlier as tiny emergents.

These would most likely have to have come from a South Island fishery facility, and even more likely from Mid Canterbury, due to the difficulty of transporting live stock from further afield.

Offenders faced up to five years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $100,000 under the Biosecurity Act, and additional penalties under the Conservation Act, with penalties up to $10,000 and one year imprisonment.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Water race closures to continue

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A $2 million project is about to be launched that will ultimately see the unpicking of more than a century of rural history in the Ashburton District.

For generations of farmers the district’s stockwater network has been a vital provider of fresh water for stock and households, but the district’s growing irrigation network has meant fewer farms now rely on the network.

And in recent years that has meant the Ashburton District

Council has been closing stockwater races as they have become redundant.

The progress that has been made can be measured in kilometres, said council assets manager Andrew Guthrie. In 2000 the race network stretched over 3800 kilometres; it now measures 2400 kilometres.

Shortly, the council will begin a project that aims to close the remaining races on the network.

It has contracted local firm Aqualink to carry out face-toface surveys with around 1500 people who are still using the

stockwater system to determine the best way to provide stockwater into the future, Mr Guthrie said.

“The first question will be do you still need stockwater and if the answer is no, then they’ll sign a form and they can be ticked off. But if they do need it then we’ll need to determine what it is used for.

“The challenge is, is it still used for farming operations or is it something that’s just nice to have as opposed to a need.”

The council will work with commercial irrigation groups

to extend their network where possible to provide an alternative supply to stockwater race users.

“The alternatives won’t come cheaply and it’s about working out who pays for those alternatives,” he said.

The council makes it clear in its long-term plan that alternatives will not be funded from general rates.

Properties in the area serviced by the Ashburton-Lyndhurst irrigation scheme will be the first to take part in the new survey.

About 150 properties in this

area are still serviced by stockwater races.

“It’s a big project and an important project; we’re unpicking something that’s been in place for over 100 years, so it will take a few years,” Mr Guthrie said.

The driver behind stockwater race closures is the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan that requires the council to reduce stockwater sourced from the Ashburton River by 2023.

“There are those constraints, but the reality is, most of our customers are saying water races have had their day.”

Vet company offers support to dairy farmers From P1 Practice principal Adrian Campbell said Vetlife was highly dependent on the New Zealand dairy industry.

“So while Vetlife is affected by the slowdown, the offer is our own genuine effort at being supportive.”

Vetent South Island general manager Paul Fizpatrick agreed there had been a significant reduction in call-outs during calving.

They were also offering delayed payments in order to help farmers through tough financial difficulties.

“It’s impacting everybody.

However, Vetent Riverside had a strong small animal business to offset the decline in dairying with Ashburton being the largest small animal business in the South Island, he said.

Ashburton Forks dairy farmer Graham Lowe said farmers would more than likely shoot sick cows this year rather than calling a vet to help.

“It’s not worth saving them.”

Mr Lowe milks 1100 cows on a 480 hectare farm that had been in the family since 1856 and said he was now living on “less than the dole”.

In order for him to break even he needs

the pay-out to be at least $5.60 and had not been able to afford to do “best practice” on farm.

He had culled 12 per cent of his cows and said he felt like “throwing up” when he received news of Fonterra’s revised projected pay-out of $3.85.

Cutting inputs such as fertiliser and reducing stocking rates, Mr Lowe said he would be taking Fonterra’s $0.50 cent per share loan.

He was also appreciative of Vetlife’s deferred payment plan.

Mr Lowe believes many farmers will lay off staff after calving and try to make up the labour loss themselves.

While it was “only money” Mr Lowe said he thought Fonterra chairman John Wilson should fall on his sword and resign.

“That’s what an honourable man should do.”

Right - While vets might not be getting as many calls to help with calving, Vetlife dairy vet Lorna Humm spent time helping to bring a calf into the world on an Ashburton Forks dairy farm yesterday. Mother and calf are doing well.

■ NEW ZEALAND FLAG DEBATE

More warming to flag change

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Cantabrians are coming around to the idea of a new New Zealand flag, following initially being opposed to the idea.

Street polls undertaken by the Guardian earlier this year suggested there was widespread opposition to the National government consulting on changing the flag, with many disgusted at the $26 million cost.

However, a street poll yesterday saw many looking with interest at 40 designs which have been selected from more than 10,000 by the Flag Consideration Panel.

Seventeen-year-old Ashburton College students Amy Cooper and Montana Young said they liked the current flag, but would prefer a new flag.

Miss Cooper’s favourite was a white silver fern on a black and red backdrop with the Southern Cross, while Miss Young’s was the same design but with a blue and black backdrop instead.

Both were designed by Kyle Lockwood.

“I like the fact that it’s still similar to our old flag, but it separates us from Australia,” Miss Young said.

Rakaia Gorge mum Carol Lowe had the same favourite de-

sign, although preferred it with a red and blue backdrop. However, she did not want to see the flag change.

“It’s just the Kiwi flag we have always known, so I think we should just keep it,” she said.

Ashburton artist Heather Sarin said she liked the Paul Jackways design of a white and red

unity fern on a white and blue backdrop. “I think if there’s black in it, it gets too heavy,” Ms Sarin said.

She had always supported the project to change the flag.

“Because I really think we need our own identity.”

Andrew Wilson of Ashburton said he would be happy to

see the flag change as it would give New Zealand its own identity. He believed any new design chosen should feature a silver fern, koru or Southern Cross.

He believed any new design should incorporate the colour blue because it represented the Pacific, and the colour black, representing the country’s

strong sporting culture. He was also a strong fan of the Kyle Lockwood silver fern design, with a black and blue backdrop.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said he was quite happy with the country’s current flag, but he had softened in his approach to whether the country should have a new flag.

He had looked with interest at the 40 designs, and liked those with the colour blue, the Southern Cross and the silver fern.

He believed the Southern Cross was representative of where New Zealand had come from as a nation, as the stars had guided early people to the country.

“I think our current flag has history behind it, but then as a nation it’s good to show what we are today, moving forward,” Mr McKay said.

NEXT STEPS The New Zealand Flag Consideration Panel is now to select four designs from the shortlist of 40.

A postal referendum will be held in November or December for voters to choose their favourite of the four, before a final referendum next year between the top design and the country’s current flag.

■ HARNESS RACING INDUSTRY

Plan ‘all about viability’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The super club model for harness racing is not about closing racecourses, it’s about giving the industry a strong future says its chief executive Edward Rennell.

A proposal to consolidate 45 clubs into nine super clubs was unveiled at harness racing’s annual meeting and while it may have stunned many people, the new structure was about viability and survival, Mr Rennell said.

“We could do nothing, continue as we are and a few clubs would fade away each year.

Where we’d like to end up with this is with an allocation of

dates for the regions and they’d decide what dates were best raced on which tracks.”

Currently there was a mix of successful clubs with good race day attendance and turnover and others that were sliding, he said.

“Rather than let this just happen, we’re striving to develop a structure where you can take ownership, but this is very much a draft, a starting point and it’s still fluid where the individual clubs will go.”

For a club such as Methven, that held four very successful meetings a year, there was no question that racing would continue there, Mr Rennell said, but it was also inevitable

that some tracks would not be used.

The Ashburton Trotting Club’s committee met on Monday night with president Chris Morrison saying the biggest concern for most people was the potential for a club to lose its identity.

“I can see where they’re coming from because unfortunately there are quite a few clubs in trouble. We’re so lucky that we’re so strong.”

That the national body had come up with an industry-wide plan was no real surprise, Mr Morrison said, as they had been keeping a close eye on club finances for the past few years.

Pulling the new structure together wouldn’t be easy, particularly as there was a clear desire not to lose the volunteer factor that was so strong in some clubs, he said.

“Yes it’s logical to have one administration centre, but you can’t share equipment like tractors that you use every day, so on one level at least, I can see it makes sense. There are around 15 clubs in a financial struggle so something drastic has to happen.”

Teams from Harness Racing New Zealand will now meet with individual clubs to gauge their response and to secure their input.

Choir appoints talented musical director

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Choir has scored a coup in attracting a new high-profile musical director.

Anthony Ferner is wanting to develop the choir in combining with Christchurch performers, and the first job he has set himself is to attract more male members, as well as some younger talent.

Mr Ferner said he was excited about his new appointment with the talented Ashburtonbased choir, but it was in desperate need of bass and tenor voices.

An open rehearsal recently was successful in attracting some fantastic female singers, and the choir now has several new sopranos and altos in its ranks.

However, of the about 40 people in the choir, just six were men, and Mr Ferner wanted to attract at least another six. He

Anthony Ferner

was also hoping to attract some younger members, with Mid Canterbury Choir members generally ranging from their 50s to their 70s.

He is hoping to develop the choir, combining with performances of Christchurch orchestras with which he is involved, in Ashburton and Christchurch.

Community choirs and or-

chestras were important parts of a community, and it was important they did not reflect just one demographic, Mr Ferner said.

“It also defines communities, it makes them what they are,” Mr Ferner said of such groups.

He believed the Monday night weekly rehearsal slot would be a relatively convenient time for anyone thinking of joining the choir to be able to get to.

Mr Ferner comes to the musical director role with plenty of high profile musical experience.

He is based in Christchurch, and the principal flute of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, a soloist, conductor and teaches at the School of Music, University of Canterbury. He is musical director of Christchurch’s Risingholme Orchestra and conducts the Resonance Ensemble.

He graduated in music from

Canterbury University and was winner of the New Zealand National Concerto Competition in 1972.

He studied and played flute in London and his first fulltime professional position was in the Canterbury Orchestra in 1976, before being appointed as a member of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra while also performing as a concert artist for ABC radio.

An interval of two years saw him teaching in Milan, and upon returning to Sydney he was a member of the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House.

He 1992 he took leave to study conducting at the St Petersburg Conservatory. He has conducted in Australia, Russia, Georgia and Italy.

Mr Ferner replaces former musical director Sylvia Watson, who retired from the role after 11 years at the end of last year.

In brief Witnesses sought Police are seeking witnesses to a collision between a truck and a car in Oamaru that left a 55-yearold woman dead. Police said the woman was driving the car involved in the collision outside the Alma Caltex on Oamaru-Alma Road, State Highway 1. Another person was taken to hospital by helicopter and was in a serious condition, but has since improved, police said.

■ METHVEN MEDICAL CENTRE

Drill an emergency lifesaver

Methven Medical Centre general practitioner Cheryl Tallon discusses a new intraosseous drill with Methven Lions Club president Graham Campion this week.

The club funded the life-saving $1200 drill, with funds raised at its Methven Mountain Thunder event, after an application from the medical centre.

“It was such a worthy cause, there were no second thoughts about it basically,” Mr Campion said.

Dr Tallon said the drill would be used in emergencies, when it was sometimes difficult to find a vein to inject fluids and

medication. The drill went directly into a patient’s bone marrow, from which veins and arteries flowed.

It would be administered after a local anaesthetic in the case of a patient being conscious.

With the Methven area being an ambulance or helicopter ride away from hospital emergency facilities, the drill could very well save lives.

All Methven Medical Centre doctors and nurses had had emergency training and would be able to use the drill.

A bid to allow pubs to open during early morning Rugby World Cup games has been shot down by the Green Party.

Act Party leader David Seymour, who tabled the bill in Parliament, called the Greens “mean-spirited” and “opposed to fun” after the party refused to grant leave to debate the legislation yesterday.

The Greens’ objection meant the bill was highly unlikely to be debated before the World Cup kicked off in September.

However, the National-led Government indicated it would consider picking the bill up.

Prime Minister John Key said a decision would be made in the next 24 hours.

“In the end, the really simple message is of course of all these bars could apply [for special licences], but it’s quite expensive and it’s bureaucratic for them,” he said.

“For a one-off thing like this, rather than put everyone through this process I think it’s simpler to try and find a way through it.”

The Prime Minister also said Greens’ opposition was “par for the course” and the party was “always opposed to anything that was vaguely good fun”.

The Green Party’s health spokesman Kevin Hague said Act Party’s legislation was a “cheap publicity stunt” and Mr Seymour was “hijacking Parliament’s time ... for a cheap gimmick”. - NZME

■ METHVEN CINEMA

Patronage prompts 3D plans

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven’s Cinema Paradiso may move to 3D as its patronage skyrockets.

Spokesman Richard Sheppard said about 5000 people had visited the cinema since a new projector and screen were installed last November.

This compared to about 560 people in the nine months prior.

The new equipment had enabled the cinema to show blockbuster movies, and this was what was drawing in the crowds. Previously the cinema had only been able to show art-house movies.

He said visitors from the Methven area were appreciating they now did not always have to travel to Ashburton or other nearby areas to see mainstream movies. Additionally the cinema was attracting viewers from as far away as Glentunnel and Darfield.

Mr Sheppard said he and his business partners were considering buying equipment so it could go to 3D some time in the near

future. The cost of such equipment would be about $6000 new.

There were no further details at this stage.

Mr Sheppard said the cinema was continuing to run independent art-house movies on Sundays, offering two tickets for the price of one deals. He wanted to continue to support such movies, many of which were made in New Zealand, particularly as nearby towns which once offered them no longer did so.

“We don’t want to lose arthouse movies because the cinema survived for 10 years on art-house movies,” Mr Sheppard said.

Meanwhile, Ashburton’s Regent Cinema has also seen an increase in patronage.

Spokesperson David Favel said there had been a steady increase in numbers attending movies since 3D technology was installed there in 2013.

He believed as well as the new technology, Ashburton’s increasing population was behind the upward trend.

Team to examine debris

The search goes on: A crew member looks out aboard a CASA 235 plane from the French Air Force taking part in the search for wreckage off the coasts of the island of La Reunion.

AP PHOTO

The captain, Abdulla Rasheed, has told online news site Haveeru that the barge was carrying wall panels.

The materials were on their way to a new resort in Raa At-

oll when the vessel capsized on February 10.

“From the pictures of the debris found on most of the islands, I can almost certainly say that they are from the

cargo that we were carrying,” he said.

Maldivian police said that they received reports of several sightings of items washed up along the northern atolls of the archipelago, some of which occurred about a month ago.

There is new attention on seaborne debris in the Indian Ocean after Malaysia last week said a wing part that washed ashore on the French island of Reunion came from the illfated plane.

That marked the first confirmed evidence that the jet, which was carrying 239 passengers and crew, met a tragic end in the Indian Ocean in March 2014.

After that discovery, the Malaysian authorities alerted nearby Madagascar and the South African coast to be on the lookout, saying it was possible debris would wash up in those locations.

Mauritius has also joined the search.

■ JAPAN

Nuclear reactor back online after four years Japan has switched on a nuclear reactor, officials said.

It ends a two-year shutdown in the energy-hungry country that was sparked by public fears following the 2011 Fukushima crisis, the worst atomic disaster in a generation.

“The reactor No 1 at the Sendai nuclear power plant started operating at 10.30am (11.30am AEST),” said a spokesman for

In brief

■ MALAYSIA

Malaysia will send a team to the Maldives to determine whether debris reportedly found there is further wreckage from Flight MH370, the transport minister said.

Liow Tiong Lai said Malaysia had been “officially notified” by authorities in the Maldives of objects found there, whose origin remains unverified.

“We will be dispatching a team to the Maldives to view the debris as well as conduct preliminary verification of the debris.

“At this stage, it is highly premature to speculate on whether this debris is in any way connected to MH370.”

The Maldives has joined a regional search for wreckage from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight following reports that islanders in the Indian ocean atoll nation had spotted unidentified debris.

But it is being suggested that the Maldives’ debris is most likely from a barge that capsized in February.

Kyushu Electric Power, which operates the reactor about 1000 kilometres southwest of Tokyo.

The 31-year-old reactor - operating under tougher safety rules - was expected to reach full capacity around 11pm last night and would start generating power by Friday.

The restart comes more than four years after a quake-gener-

ated tsunami triggered meltdowns at the Fukushima plant, prompting the shutdown of Japan’s stable of reactors.

Anti-atomic sentiment still runs high in Japan and there were reports yesterday of protesters scuffling with police in front of the Sendai plant, which is on the southern-most island of Kyushu.

Local media said about 200

protesters gathered in front of the plant.

The resource-poor nation, which once relied on nuclear power for more than a quarter of its electricity, restarted two reactors temporarily to feed its needs.

But they both went offline

by September 2013, making it completely nuclear-free for about two years.

Bikie gangs busted Two bikie gangs worked together to run a massive syndicate distributing the drug ice across Australia, police allege. Detectives believe they have dismantled the trafficking ring after dawn raids on gang properties across southeast Queensland led to the arrest of 15 alleged members of the Nomads and Comancheros. The raids netted three kilograms of ice, 100,000 ecstasy tablets, $60,000 in cash and sawn-off rifles.

Ambushed - by taxis An Uber driver in Brazil’s financial capital Sao Paulo has responded to a call, only to find himself ambushed by a group of regular taxi drivers. Folha daily quoted the man as saying that he was responding to his eighth call of the night, when instead of a client he ran into angry rivals. Blocked by 20 taxis, he tried to retreat, but was forced into a taxi and beaten as he was driven around Sao Paulo for half an hour. Antonio dos Santos, president of the city’s taxi union said that one of the assailants had been identified. “You can’t take justice into your own hands. The problem of these illegal (Uber) drivers has to be resolved through legal means,” he said.

Creditors reach a deal Greece and its creditors have reached an agreement on fiscal targets for the debt-ridden nation, staying on course for a bailout deal to avert an August 20 default.

A government source told state agency ANA yesterday that Athens had committed to a primary deficit of 0.25 per cent of output in 2015, and a surplus in 2016, meaning that no new fiscal measures will be necessary until then, the source said. But Germany may stand in the way of a full disbursement of the third bailout.

OUR VIEW

Will we behave ourselves?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

P

lans to allow bars and function rooms to open for early morning matches during next month’s Rugby World Cup sat uncomfortably with carefully crafted local alcohol rules.

It was yesterday possible that the Government would pick up a bill to have pubs open early during the tournament after it was opposed by the Greens. Other MPs from other parties have indicated their support.

Act leader David Seymour’s push, confirming what the Guardian reported a while back, was timed to perfection. The World Cup is just weeks away and the bill would have had to fly through the process to be ready.

That meant a short run-up to a select committee hearing, which meant anyone who didn’t think it was a good idea needed their best minds on their submissions sooner rather than later.

It also meant whatever work local councils have done to manage licensed premises during the tournament would likely have to be shelved.

This would be great news for publicans who, legitimately, will see some early morning games as drawcards to themed breakfasts and scenes of celebratory events. And why shouldn’t it be?

I’ve watched World Cup football in British pubs, where cups of tea outnumbered glasses of bitter and where full English breakfasts were downed quicker than pints.

It was all so, well, civilised.

And it would be nice to think that is what would happen here.

However, the doubting Thomas’ out there will be quick to point out the bill doesn’t sit comfortably with the Government’s direction for local councils to tighten up on licensing hours.

Ashburton District’s local alcohol policy would close bars earlier, as per community feedback, whenever wrangling with some of the community’s biggest alcohol merchants finishes.

That won’t happen in time for the Rugby World Cup but, if the bill gets legs, the tournament will be good indicator as to whether, given the chance of an early morning drink, we can behave ourselves.

A Tall Fern looks for a break in Sunday afternoon’s game against Japan.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 090815-TM-061

A big win for Ashburton C

ongratulations to the Japanese Women’s Basketball team for their spectacular win at the EA Networks Centre on Sunday (August 9) against our Tall Ferns.

The final score of 81-73 meant a clean sweep for Japan of three wins for the series. We had record turnouts with over 550 tickets sold for the event.

What a way to put the centre on the map as an international sporting venue!

I was delighted to see the backing that the game received from Ashburton people, with all tickets sold well in advance of the event. It showed fantastic support for New Zealand women’s basketball and also for our new sports venue.

Other codes, thinking of bringing their top players here, now have evidence of how well Ashburton can cater for international sporting events and will hopefully be lining up

FROM YOUR COUNCIL

to take advantage of what we have to offer.

Part of the success of this crowd-pleaser was the strong collaboration between Basketball New Zealand, Canterbury Basketball, Mid Canterbury Basketball and the EA Networks Centre.

It was certainly a combined effort, with everyone going to great lengths to ensure everyone from the youngest children to corporate sponsors enjoyed themselves.

Ashburton District Council was also highly supportive of the game and promoted it through the media and its

Facebook page. We were well rewarded by the community’s response.

With tough times ahead for some of our farming families in the next few months, I will do my best to ensure that Ashburton continues to attract events such as this to bring everyone together and keep our spirits up.

There is nothing like seeing families and friends out together at an occasion like we had on Sunday.

One of the next highlights on our community calendar will be our annual Boulevard Day, which this year is in the school holidays on September 28.

In the meantime, I’d like to thank the Tall Ferns for coming to Ashburton to play the final of their three test series against Japan.

It was a particularly important event, given that it was the first home series for the Tall

Ferns, outside of an Oceania Championship, in almost 10 years.

I wish them all the very best for this month’s Oceania Championships.

Their upcoming challenge is to win against the Opals (Australian women’s basketball team), which would automatically set them on their way to Rio in 2016.

A big thanks also to the Japanese team.

They were fabulous competitors and also deserve to do well on the international stage.

Like their director, Masahiro Takahashi, I hope that it will be the start of a long and mutually beneficial friendship between Japanese and New Zealand women’s basketball teams.

I look forward to seeing future series here in New Zealand and would be honored to host other international teams from all kinds of sporting codes.

■ TRANS-TASMAN FLIGHTS

Qantas follows Virgin’s lead

BY GRANT BRADLEY Qantas has joined rival Virgin Australia in adding more flights to New Zealand over summer.

Between December and February Qantas will add 110 extra trans-Tasman flights to meet strong demand during the summer holiday season and Christchurch is a big winner.

Qantas has released details of the flights which include 48 return services between Christchurch and Brisbane and 36 return services between Wellington and Brisbane, and 15 seasonal services from Christchurch and Queenstown to Sydney.

Qantas executive manager international sales, Stephen Thompson, said the additional services were part of a strategy of being more responsive to demand patterns.

“A key part of our strategy is listening to and responding to

our customers’ needs and developing an agile and flexible network which offers more options during peak periods,” said Thompson.

The recovering airline, which is expected to report annual earnings of close to $1 billion next week, is also adding more flights in Jakarta and Singapore.

“Any way you look at these extra services, they are a massive vote of confidence by Qantas in the market between Queensland, Japan and the South Island and they mean good news for every region in the South Island,” he said.

Wellington Airport also welcomed the announcement.

“Competition is exciting for travellers and we expect huge demand for the new Qantas service to Brisbane. It will be the only full service airline on one of our most popular holiday destinations at its busiest time of year,” said Steve Sanderson, Wellington Airport chief executive.

Last week Virgin Australia said it would add extra services between Melbourne and Christchurch, and between Brisbane and Auckland, Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch.

Christchurch Airport chief commercial officer – aeronautical Justin Watson says the extra flights will help meet the huge Australian demand for the South Island.

The boost over three months would bring an additional 16,128 seats between Christchurch and Brisbane, 12 per cent

more seats than the same period last year,” he said.

“Last year we had almost 60,000 visitors from Queensland fly into the South Island via Christchurch, which was 5.6 per cent more than the previous year, so there is no doubt the demand is there and growing.”

Forecasts suggest the service will bring another 3200 visitors to the South Island, most of them Australians.

“Qantas hasn’t flown between Christchurch and Brisbane for 10 years, so the return of the service offers travellers competition and choices.

“Importantly, it also offers a very strong one-stop international connection between Japan and the South Island through Brisbane.

“We encourage tourism operators to make the most of this connection to ensure this service grows.

Coffee roaster sets up in competition to ex-employer

C

affe Coffee (NZ) Ltd argued in the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) that its ex-employee Sune Farrimond breached the terms of his employment agreement by setting up a competing coffee roasting business.

Caffe also said Farrimond had removed confidential commercial information.

In March 2014, Mr Farrimond tendered his resignation from Caffe by email. He advised: “I intend on staying in the same industry, but return to a smaller boutique style of coffee roasting business.”

While still employed, Mr Farrimond incorporated a company and is one of its directors. He also purchased a coffee roaster which was not delivered until well after Mr Farrimond had left Caffe in June 2014.

In October 2014 Caffe issued a letter to Mr Farrimond telling him to “immediately cease and desist” contacting its customers or suppliers, comply with confidentiality obligations and return its records obtained while Mr Farrimond was an employee.

There was no restraint of trade in Mr Farrimond’s employment agreement to prevent him from setting up a coffee manufacturing business.

Therefore Caffe relied on the employee’s implied duty of fidelity to not compete with it.

ERA member Mr Tetitaha

Christine Summerville

said the law has not reached a point that the duty of fidelity includes disclosing one’s intention to simply leave and compete.

Mr Tetitaha also said he was surprised no risk assessment was undertaken about Mr Farrimond’s resignation given that he was a senior employee and

“

any competition or damage to Caffe’s business because the coffee roaster did not arrive until months after Mr Farrimond’s departure from Caffe.

Mr Farrimond was found not to have obtained commercially sensitive information or to have undercut Caffe in its dealings.

When deciding on a penalty with regard to Mr Farrimond setting up a coffee roasting company while still an employee, Mr Tetitaha considered that a penalty should only be imposed for the purpose of punishment.

Mr Tetitaha said that this was a one-off incident and had a

There was no restraint of trade in Mr Farrimond’s employment agreement to prevent him from setting up a coffee business

that he said in his resignation he would be involved in the coffee roasting business.

Mr Tetitaha took this to infer there was little or no objection to the proposed competition.

Therefore Mr Tetitaha held that the publication of his determination was sufficient penalty and did not award compensation to Caffe.

Chicken loaded with flavour

I

f a survey was conducted on the protein eaten most often at family dinners, it’s most likely that chicken would come out on top.

It scores well on all fronts – versatile, relatively inexpensive and, for some cuts, able to be cooked and served in a very short time.

Because it is equally at home hot or cold, chicken is the meat for all seasons.

■ Add the broccoli florets and stalks, then the mushrooms and continue to stirfry for a further two minutes.

■ Transfer to a bowl.

■ Heat the remaining oil in the wok.

■ Add the chicken and stirfry for two minutes until light golden.

■ Add the coconut milk mixture and return the vegetables to the wok then stirfry for one minute to thicken.

■ Cover and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are just tender. Sprinkle with the basil, toss together briefly and serve at once.

■ Pour over the hot chicken stock ■ Stand for two minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.

■ Fluff with a fork and mix through the chicken, apricots, olives, feta, mint and almonds.

■ Season with salt and pepper.

■ Arrange salad leaves on a platter, pile with couscous mixture ■ Drizzle with combined olive oil and lemon juice.

Kiwi Dogs and their People Written and photographed

by David Darcy Published by Murdoch Books A challenge: If you’re a dog person, pick this book up and then put it down without having read every page. Yeah, it’s that good.

David Darcy is an Australian photographer/writer/doggie person who was invited to do his thing in this country to produce a book, and if he doesn’t get a huge bonus on top of his contract, then the publishers are a hard-hearted lot indeed.

Stunning photographs on every page, of dogs and their people that Darcy has met on his travels the length and breadth of New Zealand, and superb words to go with them. Some of the stories are concise, while others take more than a page to relate.

Some of the stories are heartrending, it’s certainly not just a feel-good thing, and there’s examples of harrowing hardships some dogs have gone through

until they’ve found their current companions.

The inevitability that you’re going to outlast your canine friend is never glossed over, but for each and every owner the good bits outweigh the bad by a zillion to one.

There’s hunting dogs, handbag dogs, mountain-mustering dogs, guide dogs, a caravan park dog who thinks he’s a cat, a sled-dog team, sheep dogs, family dogs, one-person dogs, the

crazy dog-lady from Palmerston with 14 dogs in her pram – and more. Many more.

Darcy has consistently captured the love, trust and companionship that dogs and their people share, and as challenged in the first line, I bet you won’t be able to put it down.

If you leave this one on your coffee table (and you must) and doggie people come to visit, the pages are going to get dogeared (sorry) very, very quickly.

Kiwi Dogs is, quite simply, a doggone masterpiece.

In brief

■ RUGBY

ABs require smart response

By Patrick Mckendry ‘Out-passioned’ and outthought, the All Blacks have some ground to make up against the rampant Wallabies at Eden Park in a test with the Bledisloe Cup on the line and much more besides.

If the All Blacks lose on Saturday after their disappointing 27-19 defeat in Sydney last weekend, the Australians win back the old cup they haven’t held since 2003 and the world champions enter their Cup defence on successive defeats.

The significance of the test is obvious and it was All Blacks midfielder Ma’a Nonu, missing from the ANZ Stadium defeat due to a shoulder injury, whom yesterday described his team as “out-passioned” in terms of the Wallabies’ work on defence and at the breakdown.

“I thought they played well defensively, their kicking game was good as well and just their desire to get into the game physically [was impressive],” he said.

“It showed the boys how passionate they were. I think we were out-passioned.

“I don’t think we can hide away from what we saw at the weekend.

“If you look at how the Aus-

Ma’a Nonu: “It’s going to be one of those crucial matches.”

tralians flew into those rucks, how they were physical, and just the way they played, everyone can see that.”

Nonu will likely get a chance to help his team make amends after recovering from the niggle picked up in the narrow win over the Springboks in Johannesburg.

And with Sonny Bill Williams due to miss the test with a gluteus injury, Nonu’s imminent return is timely.

It’s not only brute force that is required, although a bit more of that from the forwards would be helpful.

The Wallabies went into the game apparently knowing exactly how the All Blacks were

going to play, and Steve Hansen’s men must return the favour.

David Pocock and Michael Hooper are likely to team up again in the loose forwards and the rushing outside-in defence of the Wallabies shouldn’t provide as much of a surprise factor.

No8 Kieran Read said a smart response was required, along with some old-fashioned brutality.

“We felt there were opportunities out there but if you don’t hold the ball and look after it then you’re not going to create any pressure,” he said.

“It’s not a given because they’ve got some great players

... so we’ve got to be smarter; just bounce back and be who we are, we’re a good quality side so we’ve got to show it.”

Nonu added: “It hasn’t been a fun two days in terms of reviews, but we’ve just got to be confident in ourselves and have self belief.

“It’s exciting.

“These are the games you want to play - it’s tight and there are a lot of expectations.

“They beat us in the weekend and it’s going to be one of those games with nerves from both sides.

“It’s going to be one of those crucial matches.”

A narrower than expected victory over Manu Samoa, a solid victory over Argentina, a last-gasp win over South Africa, and now a loss to Australia, the All Blacks have yet to put in a compelling performance worthy of world champions and that is something Read and his team-mates are keenly aware of.

“We want to go out there and perform well which we perhaps haven’t done as a unit this year. We want to get our performance up and I think there are some key areas that we can improve which will markedly change how we’re going to play this game.”

Ferns hold composure to beat Jamaica Confidence in the Silver Ferns camp continues to grow after the team survived a brutal clash with Jamaica in their second round match-up of the Netball World Cup last night, showing maturity and composure to pull off a come from behind win.

After an impressive 52-47

win over Australia in their final pool play match on Sunday, the New Zealand side looked shaky early on in last night’s qualification round match, trailing the Sunshine Girls 27-24 at halftime.

But, unfazed by the physical approach of the Jamaicans, the

Ferns kept their composure, slowly working their way back into the match over the second half, showing superior fitness and discipline to claim a sevengoal win.

The win puts the Silver Ferns in the box seat for a semi-finals berth, with meetings against

Malawi and Uganda to come.

New Zealand will likely meet the loser of last night’s late game between Australia and England in Saturday’s semi-finals.

The Jamaicans’ discipline and fitness let them down in the closing stages, allowing the Ferns to take control. - NZME

Mason an angry man Manly veteran Willie Mason has taken aim at the NRL over its hastily-introduced, stricter shoulder charge rules after copping a twomatch ban. Mason’s punishment for a seemingly-innocuous tackle on South Sydney’s Tom Burgess was in contrast to that meted out to Canberra’s David Shillington, who escaped a ban despite being sent off for headbutting.

Warriors’ big guns back The Warriors welcome back senior forward Ryan Hoffman from injury, and Sam Rapira, Konrad Hurrell and Dominique Peyroux have all been called into the side for Saturday’s vital clash with the Penrith Panthers at Pepper Stadium. Hoffman is set for his first game since a calf injury forced him off only 22 minutes into the final State of Origin match on July 8. After last appearing for the club in round 16, the back-rower has missed the Warriors’ last five games. The 259-game veteran comes into the second row alongside Raymond Faitala-Mariner while captain Simon Mannering moves back to lock.

Toughest V8 circuit Nissan driver Todd Kelly believes next year’s V8 Supercars race in Malaysia is bound to have plenty of incidents after experiencing the Kuala Lumpur street circuit. Kelly was one of five drivers who travelled last week to compete in two races at the KL City Grand Prix.

End of ‘broomstick’ Adam Scott insists his window for winning major championships remains wide open despite this week’s US PGA Championship being his last with an anchored long putter.

Scott’s love affair with the broomstick will come full circle this week as the 2010 US PGA Championship - also at the Whistling Straits course in Wisconsin - was the last he played with a short putter.

College teams back to top form Right: Ashburton College’s Matt Beveridge is a picture of concentration at the table tennis on Monday.

Ashburton College proved too strong for their Lincoln High opposition, as they sailed to an impressive 11-5 thumping of the visitors on Monday.

In what was a more onesided affair, Ashburton teams redeemed most of last week’s losses to Rangiora by winning their last exchange before winter tournaments commence.

This exchange saw a girls’ badminton team included after some strong performances at the Aoraki tournament, however Lincoln’s side were too strong and comfortably beat Ashburton 6-0.

In junior boys’ basketball Ashburton cruised to a 92-28 win as they look to build towards their upcoming second-

ary schools semi-final on Friday.

The junior girls also had a large win after outclassing their opponents 84-35. This will be a great boost in confidence before the team heads away to their tournament in September.

The senior boys were missing captain Kody Stuthridge-Croot due to 1st XV commitments and couldn’t hold on, losing 61-95 in a closely-contested match.

After a heavy defeat last week the senior girls’ team were looking to turn things around and did so in emphatic style, 112-29.

The loss to Rangiora last week was tough for the boys’ football team and they vowed to make amends against a very strong Lincoln side. Ashburton found themselves down early but pressed hard, causing a rare

mistake from the Lincoln goalie, allowing Ashley Van Staden to score. Soon after halftime a cracker shot from Sam McAtamney bounced off the cross bar for Aron Martizano to tap it home, however Ashburton couldn’t hold on, conceding two late goals.

The girls’ 1st XI had a good first half and were only down 1-0 at halftime, but as the girls tired, Lincoln found their way through to score five late goals.

The two hockey teams were looking to continue their impressive form in school exchanges and did so.

The boys’ team eased their way past a young Lincoln side, with Ben Niles and Hugh Donaldson each scoring and George Donaldson grabbing a double on

Nicholson ‘ultimate competitor’ By anDrew alDerson Few New Zealand sportspeople are as dedicated to their craft as Andrew Nicholson, which makes news of the neck injury he suffered yesterday all the more devastating.

Not enough is known about the fall from his mount Cillnabradden Evo at the Festival of British Eventing to draw conclusions, other than its seriousness, which saw him taken to John Radcliffe Hospital for treatment.

The hospital is listed by Britain’s National Health Service as “Oxfordshire’s main accident and emergency site and provides acute medical and surgical services, trauma and intensive care”.

Nicholson fell after the last fence on the cross-country course at Gatcombe Park, where he was in the lead.

The 54-years-old’s pursuit of selection for an eighth Olympic Games will be in jeopardy but, at such potentially pivotal moments in one’s life, such matters are trivial compared to maintaining wider health.

Nicholson’s participation in the Burghley Horse Trials, due to start September 3, will also be under threat. He is a fivetime winner, including the last three.

Regardless, eight other four-star titles and three Olympic Games and three World Games’ medals are indicative of a successful career.

Hopefully that will continue. - NZME

the way to a 4-0 victory.

The girls had to fight hard for their win as Lincoln weren’t going down without a fight. Felicity Dalzell and Courtney Cannan ensured College stayed in front with a goal each.

It was Ashburton’s day in netball as all four sides had impressive wins in their games.

The senior A team showed they’ll be a tough team to beat at their tournament with a confident 43-21 win.

The senior B team had to fight a bit harder for their 40-33 win.

They’re hoping to take the confidence of this win into their Aoraki competition.

Even with Lincoln having a Year 11 player in their side, it made no difference as our year 10 A team righted the wrongs

of last week’s close defeat with an impressive 45-9 victory.

The Year 9 A team ensured a clean sweep of netball as they came away with another impressive score line of 36-16.

With the First XV playing later in the day, the under-15 team were keen to show their skills to the coach and current players. Lincoln couldn’t pull much together as Ashburton ran away with the game 29-12.

In an up-and-coming sport at college, table tennis teams were looking to grab their first win of the year. The team was competitive but the better side on the day, Lincoln, won 22-5.

College proved too strong and too experienced for Lincoln on the chess board, with the home team winning 32–4.

WINTER DRIVING

Grants Applications are now open for the following schemes: • Community Grants • School Holiday Programme

Tenders • C640 Road Network Operations and Maintenance 2015-2020 For more information, visit ashburtondc.govt.nz

Driving on our roads during winter requires extra care.

Visibility and stopping distances can be compromised by frost on windscreens, evening fog and ice on roads. Roads sheltered from the sun can be slippery even on sunny days, with low winter suns also making sunstrike more likely.

Drivers are urged to allow more time for travel, keep their windscreens clear, check that tyres have sufficient tread and brakes and lights are working. Drive to the winter conditions and arrive alive.

12/8 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Recent dramatic events might be fresh on your mind, but if they involve anything negative, especially someone treating you wrong, ditch the topic for something more cheerful.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Everyone has to agree before the project can really take off. Who hasn’t given their consent yet? You thought you could go on without this, and you could, but awkwardly and without momentum.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The time you spend trying out different ways of doing things may seem to be a waste but you can only find a good system through trial.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re busy, but try to calm down because the ones who threaten to use up your precious minutes have something important to say, and once you slow your roll, you’ll hear it.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll experience a taste of a culture that is decidedly not for you. However, you can still appreciate how the others relate in spite of this. You can see why they need it. Your relationships are stronger through understanding.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Create a mental bubble around yourself to block out anyone who is trying to rush you, push you or change your natural rhythm in any way. Slow and deliberate action will take you far.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Instead of adapting to the environment, consider the environment might be richer and better if you were to create your own niche in it. The environment needs you to be yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): A switcheroo is featured. The path you thought would be such an exciting ride now feels like quicksand; whereas, the thing you were resistant to now seems so right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The question they always ask right before the exciting part of the plot is: What could go wrong? This question tips the audience that the ride is about to get bumpy. It’s why you’re white-knuckled for part of today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It doesn’t take a clever person to recognise a clever person. However, when clever people connect – and you will today – it is satisfying to be validated at the deeper levels.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Question each option, but not endlessly. The best questions to ask are: Is it morally sound? Intriguing? So me? Am I likely to enjoy it enough to stick with it?

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The first thought bubble of the day will haunt you unless you take care of it. Depending on what this thought is, it could be a rather pleasant haunting.
