$4M BUDGET BLOW-OUT ■Management “ad hoc manner”.

■“Lack of proper structure and clear accountability” ■Governance, management below standard.

■$6m in each Long Term Plan “misleading the public”.

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Failure to undertake a feasibility study, poor management and ad hoc reporting were responsible for handing ratepayers a $10.3 million bill for the Ashburton District’s new art and heritage centre.

Yesterday the long-awaited report from an inquiry commissioned into the project was released to the Ashburton District Council and it carried a clear message – could do better.

The project had run over time and had an all-up cost of $10.3 million against a tender price of $6.3 million. Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel wanted answers; yesterday he, his mayor, councillors and staff heard the project had been marred by a string of errors and failures from day one.

Bruce Morrison and Doug Low from local government experts Morrison and Low made it clear the foundations for the trouble-stricken project were

laid in its early years. The council of the day failed to undertake a feasibility study that would have identified costs, timelines and likely risks, therefore, there was no clear understanding of the project’s complexity and there were no benchmarks for costs.

And the criticism did not stop there. The report also made it clear the project’s management had, at best, been ad hoc.

There had been no clarity of total costs at any stage of the

project, Mr Morrison said, and these were exacerbated by delays and legal challenges.

“On projects of this nature you’d expect a feasibility study to determine not only the costs of the build but also around professional fees, fit out and other processes needs such as resource consents … and risk assessment should be done as part of that study,” he said.

Given the nature of the project and its public profile, Mr Low said he would have ex-

pected to see a formal governance structure set up early in the project’s life. With no specialist project manager, reporting had been ad hoc because there was no clear accountability and no single point of responsibility, he said.

The review team also criticised the appointment of the project’s architect, saying the company had not been competitively selected for track record and experience. more P3 Ph 03 307 7900 to subscribe!

Music superstar Taylor Swift has lost out on becoming TIME magazine’s Person of the Year for 2014 after editors awarded the title to ebola caregivers. The Shake It Off hitmaker had been named as a finalist, alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin, Apple CEO Tim Cook and the Ferguson, Missouri protesters, who have been campaigning for justice after grand jury officials decided against indicting a white police officer for the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August. The Ebola Fighters, as TIME names them, risked their lives to help those who had contracted the deadly disease, like MSF nurse’s assistant Salome Karwah, who stayed at the bedsides of patients, bathing and feeding them.

Old NZ films discovered Three films that were shot in New Zealand nearly 75 years ago have been discovered in a Californian garage. The three films that captured life in early New Zealand have now been digitally transferred from an old 16mm reel and uploaded to You Tube.

University of Canterbury historian Professor Katie Pickles said the films were recently discovered at a garage sale in San Jose, California. They had been produced by a mystery film-maker and were labelled South Pacific Part Three – the whereabouts of parts one and two were unknown. “Although they were in very poor condition, they were nevertheless digitally converted courtesy of The California Pioneers of Santa Clara County.

Hobbit opens in NZ cinemas For many it will be the climax of two trilogies but others may be glad to see the end of The Hobbit hype. The final episode of Sir Peter Jackson’s adoption of The Hobbit opened to the general public in New Zealand yesterday.The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is the last of six movies which stretch back to 2001 when the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was released. In Wellington, a special screening was held at Miramar’s Roxy Cinema just after midnight, attended by many Weta Workshop staff.

The cinema is co-owned by Weta founder and film editor Jamie Selkirk, who won an Oscar for his work on the third Lord of the Rings movie. Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, based on JRR Tolkien’s fantasy books, have taken almost $US5 billion ($A5.41 billion) at the global box office. The Battle of the Five Armies opens first in New Zealand and Europe before opening dates in the US and Canada next week. It doesn’t open in Australia until Boxing Day.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY AND HERITAGE CENTRE

Several black marks for complex

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Morrison Low report graded Ashburton’s art galleryheritage project over several categories, from adequate to inadequate.

It received a black mark for failing to have a feasibility study undertaken, for making its funding and budget unclear, for its governance structure and project management and on every aspect of its project plan (which includes budgets, dealing with tenants, project reporting and communication).

It also notched up a fail mark in the area of professional services because its architect had not been competitively selected on its track record and experience and because there was no formal contract between the council and the architect.

In appointing the architect who had been a legacy from an earlier deal with the Ashburton Trust to buy the Baring Square gallery and museum building, council staff delegation levels had been contravened, associate Doug Low said.

“The $6 million budget was based on floor area and doesn’t appear to have taken into account design services, consents etc and in our view this was somewhat misleading,” Mr Low said.

While the council had received concept designs for the complex from the Ashburton Trust there was still an opportunity to seek out the best architectural team by calling for expressions of interest from experienced designers, he said.

“And there was no formal contract executed with the architect, it was all on an hourly rate.”

The report also noted that delays on the project were also a

significant contributor to cost over-runs, with the original contract period of 56 weeks running to 153 weeks before practical completion was achieved.

Disputes with neighbours absorbed 40 weeks of the delay while redesign issues, work hours restrictions and client changes were responsible for another 57 weeks.

“You were fortunate in terms of having a local contractor.

An out-of-towner might not have been so accommodating in terms of delays and costs,” Mr Low said.

However, while the complex had come in with a large cost over-run, the community had received good value for its money, he said.

“This is a good building, the council got a good outcome and the community has a good facility but you could have done better with the right mechanisms in place from the start.”

With the report delivered, Mr Dalziel said the important thing now was how the council used the information and applied the recommendations to other projects of a similar scale.

“No council wants to be in the position where a project has run over time and over budget. We needed to understand what happened and how it happened and this report gives us answers.”

As part of the review process, documentation, reports and correspondence spanning 13 years was revisited and this work is likely to cost the council about $55,000.

Measured against best practice it was clear there had been shortcomings in the project from inception to completion and the council would continue to review its processes to ensure best practice was followed, Mr Dalziel said.

Don McLeod Stuart Wilson “Some of us on the previous council were hearing what the public was saying and we continued to be over ruled by other councillors around the table. The majority let things happen but some of us knew this was not quite right.”

Alan Totty “As a councillor I accept the responsibility it puts on me – we made mistakes and we have to learn from our mistakes.”

“One of the factors contributing to the mistakes has been the length of time taken from the start to now and councillors, staff and rules have changed over this time and others have had to pick it up … I accept we’ve made mistakes and we need to do better.”

Rod Beavan Russell Ellis “I find myself embarrassed to be sitting here and hearing that ratepayers had said a lot of the things that the report says we have done poorly and they were ignored.”

“People who organised and delivered the petition can feel vindicated. They had concerns and they were well and truly warranted. It’s a pity the council didn’t treat the petition with the respect it warranted.”

Darryl Nelson “Yes, there have been shortcomings with this project, it’s taken a long time and if we have offended the community I apologise but now we have to move forward.”

■ FONTERRA PAYOUT

District ‘in strong position’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s diversified economic base means it will weather this season’s low dairy payout much better than most parts of rural New Zealand, a rural consultant says.

Many of Ashburton’s servicing industries had a broad base with customers in several industries as well as outside the district and that put them in a strong position to trade through the impact of Fonterra’s forecast low payout for the season, dairy specialist Jeremy Savage said.

For most farmers Fonterra’s revised end of season payout of $4.70 came as little surprise; it was simply another notch on a

price ladder that had been spiralling downwards for several months.

And that has meant most dairy farmers have already been moving into cost cutting mode, farm consultant Jeremy Savage says.

On the back of higher prices for beef, many were opting to cull cows about three months earlier to lower supplementary feed costs later in the season and that was giving them an early financial cushion, he said.

However, they would also be taking a hard look at areas where costs could be cut and the first thing to go would be capital expenditure with items such as vehicle and irrigation upgrades put on the back burner, Mr Savage said.

“The potential for this to con-

tinue for two seasons is really high. We’re working with farmers to plan as though it won’t recover, we’re looking at changing farm programmes on a longterm payout of $6.20-$6.40,” he said.

In spite of last season’s all time high payout of $8.50, Mr Savage said he and his fellow consultants had been working with clients on a fairly restrained farming programme over the past two years.

While their incomes would be cut, farmers would come through the low payout patch more efficient dairy producers, he said.

“On a positive note, it will make our farmers fitter and more resilient, so it’s not all bad.”

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Jessie Chan-Dorman

Fonterra’s downward price revision from a forecast $5.30 a kilogram of milksolids to $4.70kg/MS was not on the agenda at a meeting of dairy industry representatives and politicians in Wellington on Wednesday.

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers dairy industry spokesperson Jessie Chan-Dorman was in the capital for a conference, and had a private meeting with Labour MP Damien O’Connor.

“It was a good meeting, the price was talked about a lot in terms of resilience, and sustainability,” she said.

“We did discuss the volatility but not specifically how we would deal with the $4.70kg/ MS.

“That is the general message – we understand the industry is volatile; how do we become resilient and sustainable, so we can weather those low payout years.”

Many analysts and industry commentators are not anticipating a significant price rebound until the end of next year.

“This time next year will be the real crunch point – if we haven’t already started planning for how we will get through that period, we should not be wasting any time getting on to it.”

Some rural analysts think it could be the end of next year before dairy prices rebound.

“There could potentially be a low opening payout for the start of next season as well,” Mrs Chan-Dorman said.

Jeremy Savage

“Farmers should be relatively okay at this point – the good payout from last year should be able to hold them up at the moment, but we need to be forward planning.”

She said farmers should be talking to their bankers, advisors, family and staff.

“You need to make sure your team understands where you are heading and what your game plan is,” Mrs Chan-Dorman said.

“Farmers should be keeping a closer eye on improving efficiencies and cutting costs, but not to the detriment of the long-term health of the business.”

On the upside, milk productivity is up across Canterbury; and while it is not worth as much, there is more of it, Mrs Chan-Dorman said.

Youth who fancy learning the skills of Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen or Kiwi gold medal mountain biker Anton Cooper may want to consider giving the Break-Away Holiday Programme a try next month. The inaugural programme involves a range of indoor and outdoor activities to keep youth busy and entertained over the holiday period. It will run from January 5 to 9, and again from January 12–16, 2015 from noon–4pm. Youth aged 11 to 17 years will get to try archery, mountain bike riding and if they attend five sessions may be considered for the finale session doing a clip and climb activity in Christchurch. The free programme is a partnership between YMCA Mid Canterbury and Base Youth Centre.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Novopay still causing pain

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Government’s controversial Novopay system is still causing headaches for Mid Canterbury principals.

The payroll system has been shrouded in controversy since it was installed in 2012, with teachers complaining of being underpaid, overpaid or not paid at all.

The Government took over the reins of the troubled system from Talent2, the company that designed and administered it, in October.

The majority of Novopay’s issues appeared to be fixed, but ongoing difficulties have forced Ashburton College to create a dedicated staffing position, payroll administrator, to work with the system.

The problem does not appear to be isolated either, according to Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan.

Mr McMillan said yesterday the school’s accounting firm advised that about 40 other schools were taking the same action.

He said the position had to be created because Novopay was “so much more

clumsy and time consuming” than the previous system.

However, according to the Ministry of Education, schools are receiving a “comprehensive” range of support programmes to help them with payroll tasks.

Ministry of Education deputy secretary of education payroll services Cathy Magiannis said schools had access to a nationwide regional support network and range of payroll training programmes, as well as dedicated help desk support and assisted data entry sessions.

“We are continuing to make improvements to the Novopay service to ensure schools can complete their payroll work easily and efficiently and improvements were recently made to the Novopay website in response to schools’ feedback,” she said.

“We are also seeing reduced error rates for each pay period as performance improves.”

Ms Magiannis said the Ministry had contacted Ashburton College to offer them any additional support they may need.

■ PIKE RIVER

Discussions on Pike River site Minister Nick Smith was in Greymouth on Wednesday to begin discussions on what to do with the Pike River mine site.

Solid Energy announced on November 6 it was abandoning the mine reentry, and would return the site in the Paparoa foothills behind Atarau to the Department of Conservation.

Conservation Minister Maggie Barry is related to families spokesman Bernie Monk and Dr Smith has stepped in. Dr Smith confirmed yesterday he had met

the Pike River families on Wednesday.

“It was constructive but no decisions were made. It was part of the ongoing dialogue about the future of the site, in which there will be further discussion in the new year.”

Families are being surveyed on what they would prefer. An early suggestion is a memorial walk linking two West Coast disaster sites on opposite sides of the Paparoa Range – Cave Creek and Pike River Mine.

Not guilty A man accused of manslaughter after his mother-in-law died transporting drugs in her stomach has been cleared by a jury. Peter Phillip Leaitua, 44, was charged with importing cocaine following the death of the woman in 2011. But yesterday a jury at the High Court in Auckland came back with a not guilty verdict.

In September 2011, Leaitua, his partner, two children and motherin-law Sorlinda Aristizabal Vega flew from Argentina to Auckland.

Ms Aristizabal, 37, a Colombian national, had 584 grams of cocaine in condoms inside her body, and eventually died of an overdose of the class-A drug the day after landing. Three of the 27 condoms had broken inside her intestines, causing cocaine to fatally leach into her system. Leaitua was initially charged with manslaughter too but that charge was dropped by the Crown before trial. - NZME

■ ALLEGED DRUG SMUGGLING

China has four days left to charge Gardner The Chinese Government has four days left to charge a New Zealand man who could face the death penalty over drug smuggling charges.

Peter Gardner, 25, remains in China after he was arrested at a Guangzhou airport last month for allegedly attempting to import 75kg of methamphetamine into Australia.

Guardian ASHBURTON

www.guardianonline.co.nz

His Australian girlfriend, 22-year-old Kalynda Davis, returned to Sydney early on Tuesday after being freed.

They were picked up before they boarded a flight to Sydney.

The Chinese Government has four days left to charge Gardner. Under Chinese law, suspects can be held in detention for a maximum of 37 days

before being charged.

Gardner – a New Zealand citizen who lives in Richmond, northwest of Sydney, could face execution by firing squad if he is charged and convicted.

“The Consul-General has visited Mr Gardner in the detention centre to provide consular advice and check on his wellbeing. He remains in custody

and has legal representation,” a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Mfat) spokesman in New Zealand said.

It is understood the Gardner family has been advised by lawyers not to comment.

The Mfat spokesman said the decision to release Ms Davis was China’s alone.

■ FIRE RULES

Urban outdoor fires not allowed

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Light an outdoor fire in Ashburton and you could find yourself hit in the pocket.

It’s not because of a new rule either; it’s because of an old one which, according to local firefighters, some people appear to have forgotten.

Recently the Ashburton Vol-

unteer Fire Brigade experienced a spate of call-outs to Ashburton backyards where people were burning rubbish. In one case, the call-out came in as a rubbish fire threatening a house, but fortunately the house escaped damage.

Ashburton’s principal rural fire officer Don Geddes said outdoor fires in urban Mid Canter-

■ BABY DIES

bury were not allowed.

“You can’t burn in the open air at all, other than ethnic cooking fires,” Mr Geddes said.

Breaches of that rule can result in an instant $300 infringement notice being issued.

Being unaware of the rules was no excuse either; Mr Geddes said if people were in doubt they should ask the authorities –

either Environment Canterbury or the Ashburton District Council – before lighting a fire.

That information is readily available though. A quick look at the Environment Canterbury website reveals: outdoor burning on properties zoned residential throughout Canterbury is not permitted at any time of the year without a resource consent

from Environment Canterbury.

Rural areas are also limited as to what materials they can burn throughout the year, and at the height of summer restrictions can be brought in to limit that even further.

Due to recent hot, windy weather, Mr Geddes predicts those restrictions will be in place by Christmas.

■ CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK

Inquiry into death of baby A baby girl who suffered critical and unexplained injuries has died in Waikato Hospital.

Police said the 7-month-old girl died about 1pm yesterday.

Inquiries continue at an address in Hamilton East where a scene examination is under way to help reconstruct what has occurred there.

ESR scientists have completed their part of the examination. However, further physical examination is expected to continue today.

Police are also completing inquiries with the occupants of neighbouring addresses.

A post-mortem examination will be conducted on the girl’s body in Auckland this morning.

A number of tests and further scientific analysis may be required to fully understand the cause of death.

Police will continue to work with the family, medical experts and ESR scientists to establish the facts of the situation.

Police are providing support to the family via our support partners, including Victim Support. They said no further comment would be made until after the post-mortem examination.

Preparations are well in hand for this weekend’s Christmas in the Park celebration at the Ashburton Domain Oval: even the weather is expected to clear.

Performers have been fine-tuning their songs and performances and organisers have increased supplies in expectation of thousands of people expected to attend the free, family Christmas event.

Organiser Lisa Anderson said the weather forecast was good which would offer “the best day ever”.

It’s the second year it has been held and there will be more sound equipment around the ground with satellite speakers, more toilets and extra food vendors.

Mrs Anderson encouraged people to take a picnic tea and enjoy the festive entertainment.

There were 18 performers scheduled to entertain with their Christmas tunes, dances or musical delights.

They included Tainui Kuru, Jan-Maree Baughan, Liam Kennedy-Clark, Olivia Brown, EmeliaJ, Sarah Heney, the Ashburton Silver Band, Allenton School and Dance Worx.

Father Christmas will also make a special appearance. After the Joy to the World finale and the Christmas Story, the evening ends with a bang and a pop with spectacular fireworks display lighting up the domain sky at 9.30pm.

The range of music will include traditional songs of Silent Night, O Holy Night and Once in Royal David City to the more modern songs of Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Snoopy’s Christmas and All I Want For Christmas is You. The concert kicks off at 6.30pm.

HitPlay to cater for teens A variety of exciting activities will be on offer for Ashburton teens when HitPlay launches its new holiday programme in January.

Teenagers will have the opportunity to try out everything from archery to fitness boot camps at the free programme.

HitPlay already runs after school and holiday programmes for younger children, such as Bailey May, 8, but is

branching out to cater for Ashburton’s teenagers. HitPlay founder La Tisha Richards said the programme would give teens something to do, and it needed community support.

“It’s great us having this idea, but we can’t do it ourselves,” she said.

“We need a village approach to it.”

The programme will kick off on January 12.

that Bitossi had started the fire in April, and charged him with arson.

Justice France said he did not accept Bitossi’s denials.

“Looking at the evidence as a whole, I consider the case against Mr Bitossi was overwhelming and accordingly convict him of the offence charged, namely arson of the Kiwi Storage facility.

“There was no doubt that whoever lit the fire did so deliberately and in circumstances that met the requirements of the charge of arson.”

Bitossi was remanded in custody for sentencing on February 5.

OUR VIEW

A litany of oversights Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he findings of a report into the $10.3 million Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre project are an indictment on a slip-shod process “led” by council managers and councillors who singularly failed to give it the care it deserved.

Consultants Morrison Low yesterday detailed a litany of oversights and inadequacies that, almost from the very start, turned what should have been a celebrated facility into an all-tooexpensive symbol of bumbling and mistrust.

The council failed to commission a robust feasibility study before deciding to budget $6 million for the building.

Had it done so, it would have been told a myriad of other costs would mean it should expect to pay much more.

With one possible check on harsh reality suspended, it failed to establish a management structure to keep an eye on the project.

Remarkably, no one council committee had oversight and no one council staffer had sole charge.

It follows that councillors were sometimes confused as to who was meant to be doing what. It does not take 20/20 hindsight to suggest that should have been enough to prompt them to do something about it.

Had councillors “governed” they may have discovered how poorly informed they were of the project’s progress. They may have realised they were slowly turning a jewel into a millstone with processes that were deficient and ad hoc.

It is frankly astounding that council rules were not followed when what became a $790,000 architectural job was not put to tender. Engaging a firm experienced in such design might have encouraged constructive dialogue with its tenants.

Successive Annual Plans – which draw public submission – restated the old budget rather than capturing the budget suggested by the council’s Annual Report, which was much closer to the mark. This was misleading.

But “misleading” will be too soft a word for those whose warnings were countered by project proponents who likely understood more of this background than they did. They are entitled to feel angry and betrayed.

Guided by a new chief executive, the council has voted for change.

But it comes at a hefty price.

YOUR VIEW Tinwald Domain In reply to Mr Wing regarding damage to the domain grass (Tinwald Domain, December 4).

I have been going to the domain every Sunday afternoon for well over 10 years and have witnessed only six idiots damaging the grass in that time.

Four of these instances resulted in registration numbers being read and information being reported to the proper authorities.

But that aside, what about families wishing to picnic in the northern section, allowing their children to safely view the steam trains and as children do, wave to the people on these

CRUMB

trains. Numerous families have done this over the years.

Do you expect these families to walk 200m and carry picnic gear as well? When is a domain not a domain for public use?

The present attitude is nicely summed up when two vehicles, obviously out-of-towners, drove in last summer.

There were obviously family cars. One vehicle drove up to the chain and turned around stopping door-to-door with the other vehicle and was heard to say “what a b…. inhospitable place this is”. Both vehicles then drove out.

Do you really want families to feel this way about the domain?

What about living up to the slogan on the noticeboard at the

by David Fletcher

entrance to the domain.

Wilfred Dolbey

Art gallery and heritage centre I think it’s high time Alistair Argyle and his merry band got a life and let sleeping dogs lie.

He would also do well to remember that he and his law practice derive much of their income from the community in which they live.

In my view, this continuation is nothing more than the abuse of the legal system and the Resource Management Act provisions that allows a few to hold the majority to ransom.

I’m going bananas over the Santa parade L

ast Saturday I had one of those appointments in my diary that make a bloke cringe a bit.

One of those appointments that once you’re there and doing it, it is actually quite fun.

This year it was the best ever.

I’m talking about the Santa Parade.

As a radio fella, you’re expected to front up and walk down the street with a big smile on your face and waving away to all the people who have turned up to watch.

If I’m totally honest, the only good part of the job was seeing how much of a kick the fairies on the Santa float got out of the experience.

In years past, you would field a bit of grief during the event, normally good fun banter, but normally it would really kick in to life straight after the Parade.

More so in recent years as the popularity of social media has grown. Especially from the

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

group of people who aren’t really happy unless they are having a bloody good whinge about something.

But to be fair most of them had valid points.

Not this year!!!

This year was superb and the feedback was incredibly positive.

To think that it nearly died in a hole, until our Carol Johns and the team from Hyundai said, hang on a minute, we can’t let this thing die.

I also enjoyed this year’s edition of the Parade much more than ever before. Yes, because of the positive buzz down the street. Yes because the crowd

was fantastic size wise. Yes because of new floats this year.

But mainly because this year I got to wear a costume!

It’s hard to explain the difference between in and out of costume.

I think the striking difference was just how interactive you are with the crowd when you are in costume.

Hearing the wee kids yell with excitement “Oh wow it’s the Bananas in Pyjamas” with huge grins smeared across the faces was something else. This was followed by a look of accomplishment which followed immediately after receiving their “high five” from me.

I dished out more “High Fives” in an hour than an average NBA Basketballer would in a season.

I also dished out some surprise Christmas Banana Hugs and I know Carol Ward enjoyed hers, but not as much as Michael Clark enjoyed his, at least

I think that’s what “Fungi” was saying.

The only slightly bad part about being in this year’s Parade was I didn’t get to have a good look at all of the floats and characters involved. I have caught up with most of them since via Social Media and I am blown away with the effort that people put in.

From the little kids that lined East Street and the big kids, both in and out of costume, to everyone involved with the Santa Parade. THANK YOU! Bring on next year, I can’t wait!

Right now I better split.

In brief

■ HONG KONG

Police move on protesters Hong Kong authorities cleared barricades yesterday from a pro-democracy protest camp spread across a busy highway as part of a final push to retake streets occupied by activists for two and a half months.

Watched by police, workers in white helmets used box cutters and pliers to remove plastic ties from the barricades, which were made up of metal and plastic safety barriers topped with traffic cones and scaffolding poles.

They then passed parts of the barricades to co-workers who quickly shuffled them away to the side of the road.

The protesters reject Beijing’s restrictions on the first election for the city’s top leader, scheduled for 2017, but have failed to win any concessions from Hong Kong’s government, and the movement’s momentum has faded recently as the government stuck to its apparent strategy of waiting the protesters out.

Politics student Max Leung, 22, said he felt sad to see the barricades removed and would stay until police cleared the area. He said he was willing to be arrested but would not resist officers.

“We redefined the public space,” Leung said at his tent set up within the zone. “It was supposed to be just cars and now we occupy it, we have a study area for students in the middle of the highway, people here they care about each other.”

Chinese police are seeking more than 100 Vietnamese brides who vanished after marrying bachelors from a poor rural area, with reports saying an “organised ring” could be behind the disappearance. The men, from Quzhou in the northern province of Hebei, were introduced to the women by Wu Meiyu, a Vietnamese bride who had lived in the area for 20 years. Wu, who received payments of more than 100,000 yuan ($A17,300) if the introductions were successful, disappeared with the women, it added.

Mother drowned baby She had the perfect job and marriage. So when a young Sydney mother gave birth to a girl she believed was a “dwarf”, she resented the baby and wanted to be “rid” of her. The mother, who cannot be identified, was found guilty yesterday of murdering her six-month-old daughter, who was discovered floating in the bathtub of her home in Sydney’s inner west on November 18, 2010.

The workers were carrying out a court restraining order calling for barriers to be dismantled and obstructions removed from three sections of the protest site.

The operation will be under close scrutiny with a group of about 30 academics monitoring the operation, along with the Independent Police Complaints Council and human rights groups.

The sprawling encampment

in Hong Kong’s Admiralty section, on the edge of the financial district, has been the focal point for the protesters, who have occupied the site for 75 days.

As the clear out neared, protesters chanted “I want universal suffrage” and threw pieces of paper that read “We will be back.”

On September 28 police fired dozens of tear gas rounds at thousands of protesters gath-

ering in the area angry over the prolonged detention of a student leader.

The move infuriated protesters and the wider public and kick-started the student-led protest movement, which came to include two other protest sites in Hong Kong.

Over the past 2½ months, police say 655 people have been arrested, and 129 officers injured. They have given no overall injury toll.

US torture report ‘full of crap’ Former US vice-president Dick Cheney has blasted the Senate report detailing torture of “war on terror” detainees, calling it “terrible” and “full of crap”.

Cheney, who was vice president under George W. Bush when the brutal “enhanced interrogation techniques” were used, said the programme was entirely justified.

“We did exactly what needed to be done in order to catch those who were guilty on 9/11 and to prevent a further attack, and we were successful on both parts,” he told Fox News.

The scathing 500-page report, released on Wednesday, said the CIA’s interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects - including beatings, “rectal rehydration” and sleep deprivation - was far

Runaway brides

more brutal than acknowledged and did not produce useful intelligence.

The CIA deliberately misled congress and the White House about the value of the intelligence its interrogators were gathering, the report concluded.

Cheney did not mince his words in rejecting that.

“The report’s full of crap, excuse me.

“I said hooey yesterday - let me use the real word,” he thundered yesterday.

The investigation was “deeply flawed” and “didn’t bother to interview key people involved in the programme”, he said.

The report - whose damning findings provoked worldwide condemnation - also said that

Dick Cheney: The investigation was ‘deeply flawed’

Bush was only given details of the tactics in 2006, four years after the CIA began using them on terror suspects, and that he then “expressed discomfort”.

Cheney denied that Bush was kept out of the loop, say-

ing the then-president “was in fact an integral part of the programme and he had to approve it”.

However, asked if Bush knew the finer details of how specific interrogations were being conducted, Cheney was a bit more vague, saying: “We did discuss the techniques.

“There was no effort on our part to keep him from that.”

Cheney suggested that, when faced with a key suspect, like self-proclaimed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, interrogators had to be tough.

“What are we supposed to do - kiss him on both cheeks and say, ‘Please, please, tell us what you know?’

“Of course not.”

McDonald was appointed chairman in October and other board changes include the appointment of scientist Dianne McCarthy, who recently retired as chief executive of the Royal

Society of New Zealand, and Hampson who was formerly chief executive.

Powerhouse Ventures was set up in 2006 with the Christchurch City Council’s economic development agency, the Canterbury Development Corporation, as a cornerstone investor. Lincoln University and the University of Canterbury are also shareholders.

A major ownership restructure is due to be completed by Christmas which will see the management company merged with its four funds which coinvest with private investors in the companies within the 15-strong portfolio.

Once the restructure is complete private investors, who include Stephen Tindall’s K1W1, will be the majority shareholders of the incubator which will directly hold ownership in the companies.

your perspective.

Lower demand for oil reflects a mixed economic outlook and slowing growth.

However, lower oil prices are good for the global economy, particularly sectors exposed to consumers and at current levels could provide a boost of 0.2-0.4 per cent to world GDP. Locally, the big news was the reduction in the forecast farmgate milk price for farmers announced by Fonterra this week.

As was widely expected, Fonterra reduced its price forecast for the current season to NZ$4.70 from NZ$5.30.

This is well down on the record NZ$8.40 from last season, and should see farmers tightening their purse strings in response.

The reason for the fall is due to falling global prices for whole milk powder and other dairy products.

Fonterra noted that trade restrictions in Russia and high inventory levels in China have also resulted in ongoing volatility and weak demand.

Bank economists have suggested that the cumulative

impact of the decline, relative to last season, could be somewhere in the region of NZ$6 billion.

This will undoubtedly have an impact on economic growth and in particular, regions that always rely heavily on the dairy industry for economic activity.

While it will be a difficult 12 months for some farmers, one tough year is manageable, as long as current price levels do not persist for two or three seasons.

Longer-term, prospects for the dairy industry appear strong and it is generally expected that current global issues will dissipate over time.

The financial market reaction to the announcement of a lower milk payout was relatively muted, given that a fall to these levels was not unexpected.

However, global dairy trade auctions will be closely followed from here on and any further weakness could see the NZ dollar decline in response to further worries about falling prices.

Markets have a tough week I t has been a tough week for markets with all major indices seeing red.

Oil prices have extended their slide this week, now over 40 per cent lower than this year’s high reached in June.

The S&P500 energy index which contains many stocks whose profits rely heavily on the price of oil has been hit hardest dropping over six per cent in a matter of days.

Volatility that we saw in late September and early October has returned to markets also, with indices swinging from positive to negative dramatically during trading.

Oil prices have dominated headlines over the past few weeks as they continue to tumble.

Earlier this month OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) decided against cutting supply to spur a recovery in prices.

Since then prices have fallen heavily.

The price plunge has largely been caused by increased production from non-OPEC countries, particularly from the US. US crude oil production has increased 72 per cent since 2008 on the back of extensive shale fields and unconventional drilling techniques such as fracking.

Whether falling oil prices are good or bad depends on

Fonterra has moved to shore up its supply base by forming a subsidiary that can take in more milk without suppliers having to buy shares in the co-operative.

A wholly Fonterra owned unit - mymilk - has been formed to target farmers in the high growth provinces of Southland, Otago and Canterbury and will look at doing the same in the North Island over the the next 12 months.

Powerhouse Ventures, one of the three new technology business incubators part-funded by government, is considering a $40 million initial public offering to raise capital for growth.

Powerhouse was named as one of three of the new technology-focused incubators introduced by government this year based on a successful Israeli model.

Early stage investment to the companies it incubates is provided in collaboration with high net worth private investors and the government’s business innovation agency, Callaghan Innovation, while the NZ Venture Investment Fund is a co-investor for follow-on capital.

The technology incubators are primarily funded from returns generated from equity stakes in successfully incubated

companies but it takes some time before those returns start filtering through.

Following its annual meeting yesterday, chairman Kerry McDonald said the company planned to access new capital for follow-on funding substantially, as this was critical for the success of research-based ventures.

Among the options for the estimated $40 million needed to provide funding to its existing portfolio and make new investments are an IPO, bringing in one large investor, or raising an expansion fund for that amount.

Powerhouse Ventures managing director Stephen Hampson, newly appointed to the board, favours the IPO option though it would be unlikely to happen until the middle of 2015.

“There’s interest from New Zealand investors in getting involved in early stage technology and the way we’re doing it

In brief

Shift to cloud ‘accelerating’ Google predicts the best days are still ahead for cloud computing.

The pace at which customers are moving their data to the cloud is picking up, and the price of such services will drop at a slower pace in 2015 compared to this year, said Barak Regev, Google’s cloud chief for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“The adoption curve is extremely accelerating and we’re seeing it coming from a variety of companies,” Regev said at the Bloomberg Enterprise Technology Summit in London.

Cloud is “bigger than any

market out there if you think about the potential for adoption - even bigger than the advertising market”.

Companies from banks to electronics manufacturer Royal

Philips NV (PHIA) are shifting to cloud services, which let users access data and computing power via the internet, Regev said.

Google, based in Mountain

View, California, has been seeking growth beyond its advertising business, with a focus on cloud computing.

Last month, it unveiled some new networking tools for quickly accessing such features while also cutting prices to catch up to larger providers in the field, including Amazon. com.

Google doesn’t break out revenue for its cloud services.

During the second quarter, it garnered less than five per cent market share, lagging behind Amazon, Microsoft and IBM, according to Synergy Research Group.

Unlikely tech alliance now bearing fruit Apple and IBM, once the most unlikely of allies, yesterday announced the first fruits of a partnership aimed at developing new mobile software - and selling more mobile devices - to business customers.

One new app, developed jointly by the two companies, promises to help telecom service workers find their way to customer appointments in the field more quickly, using the GPS on an iPhone or iPad. Another would let flight attendants help passengers change their connecting reservations in mid-air.

All told, IBM and Apple announced 10 new businessoriented programs for Apple’s popular iPhones and iPads, which are already used widely in commercial settings.

There are already a variety of apps available for restaurants, retailers and other businesses, but many are produced by smaller companies or independent developers.

Despite a history of rivalry, the two tech giants announced a partnership over the summer to create a series of businessfocused apps that combine IBM’s data analytics prowess and knowledge of business requirements with Apple’s skill at creating elegant, userfriendly products.

“This is actually not easy.

“It’s not like playing Angry Birds,” Bridget van Kralingen, an International Business Machines Corp. senior vice president, said in an interview.

She boasted that the new products combine online data

analytics and “industrialstrength security” in programs that resemble easier-to-use consumer apps.

While Apple is known primarily for consumer products, tech rivals like Google and even Facebook have been moving into the lucrative commercial market.

And increasingly, analysts say, many businesses are trying to accommodate employees who want to use devices and software that resemble what they use at home.

IBM will take the lead in selling the new mobile software, van Kralingen said, but both companies say the partnership should also help Apple sell more devices to business customers.

Apple Senior Vice President Philip Schiller also suggested it’s not such a stretch for Apple to build business software.

“The number of companies using iPhones and iPads is “just astronomical, so we already are in the enterprise market,” he said in an interview.

Executives said engineers from IBM, which is based in Armonk, New York, and Apple, which is headquartered in Cupertino, California, worked together on the new apps.

Loons at Lake Brunner Internet giant Google has confirmed a large balloon, spotted in Lake Brunner this week by a local boater, was one of its Project Loon wi-fi internet balloons. The balloons are designed to provide an airborne network of internet coverage in parts of the world where reliable internet is hard to come by. A spokesman for Google said it had been periodically testing the balloons, which were being released from Tekapo, since the project was launched in June last year.

Twitter favourites One Direction and the World Cup dominated Twitter in the UK in what was overall “the year of the selfie”. Tweeters’ love of camera phone self-portraits showed no sign of abating, with the term “selfie” mentioned 92 million times by the social network’s 284 million active global users, an increase of 500 per cent on 2013, Twitter said.

A seemingly innocuous celebration of 1D’s four years together by singer Harry Styles was the most retweeted tweet by a UK account in 2014.

In brief Never-ending season Test star Brett Morris has proposed scrapping pre-season trial matches amid fears rugby league’s everexpanding schedule has reached breaking point. The NRL yesterday used the Auckland Nines launch as the stage to hail rugby league as the premier year-long football code in Australia. Ignoring fears of player burnout after more than a dozen stars were unavailable for last month’s Four Nations tournament, won by New Zealand, the league was instead spruiking the game’s new never-ending season.

Top award to Buller player

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Gary Redmond missed out on Heartland Player of the Year at the Steinlager Rugby Awards with Buller’s James Lash getting the gong in Auckland last night.

Redmond missed out on the glitz and glamour of the night altogether.

The builder couldn’t attend the function; he was flat out trying to get a roof on before Christmas.

Lash was instrumental in Buller’s unbeaten run to the Meads Cup final before they were unceremoniously beaten at home by Mid Canterbury,

as Redmond showed his class in the showpiece match of the season.

He produced a trademark performance in the final, with his harassment of Lash leading to an off day from the Buller number 10 with his tackle count, work at the breakdown and ball carrying contributing to the Hammers going back-toback.

After his side’s 36-13 Meads Cup win Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore stated “Redmond is the best player in the competition”.

That view wasn’t shared by judges.

Redmond missed two games

through injury, but certainly stamped his mark on the competition and earned Heartland XV selection, but Lash also had a strong season leading the competition scoring behind Hammers loan player Murray Williams to get the nod for the top award.

The Hammers went back-toback with the Meads Cup but Redmond couldn’t follow on from captain Jon Dampney who won the honour last year.

The award will have been some consolation for Lash – a former Mid Canterbury loan player in 2011 - and Redmond can take solace with his Meads Cup winner’s medal.

Gary Redmond: ‘Best player in the Heartland competition’

Auks beat Morocco With part-timers in their ranks, Auckland City doubled their money by beating local champions Moghreb Tetouan to reach the quarter-finals of the lucrative Club World Cup in Morocco.

Making a record sixth Club World Cup appearance, the champions of Oceania triumphed 4-3 on penalties after the match finished 0-0 in Rabat.

Barcelona in top spot The attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were all on target as Barcelona came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 yesterday in their Champions League Group F decider. Both sides had already qualified for the last 16, but first place was still up for grabs, with the French champions needing just a point at the Camp Nou and Barcelona having to win.

- AFP

City, Schalke in last spots Manchester City and Schalke 04 filled the last two spots on offer for the last 16 of the Champions League as both won their final group games yesterday. City beat Roma 2-0 in the Italian capital in Group E, with Samir Nasri scoring one and creating the other on his 50th appearance in the Champions League. he draw for the last 16 is on Monday.

Warriors down Rockets Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry shook off slow starts to finish with a flurry, and the Golden State Warriors extended their franchise-best winning streak to 14 games by beating the Houston Rockets 105-93 yesterday, while Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap each scored 17 points, and Atlanta beat Philadelphia for its eighth straight victory. Marco Belinelli scored a season-high 22 points and shorthanded San Antonio rolled to victory over the New York Knicks, who lost their 10th straight, while Derrick Rose scored 23 points, Pau Gasol had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Chicago beat Brooklyn.

Retallick, Hansen and All Blacks big winners

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Lock Brodie Retallick, coach Steve Hansen and their All Blacks team were the big winners of New Zealand’s rugby awards last night.

Retallick followed his recognition as world player of the year by the International Rugby Board by being named the Kelvin R Tremain player of the year at the function, sponsored

by Steinlager and held at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre complete with red carpet entrance.

Hansen was awarded coach of the year and his All Blacks team, who have lost only twice under his reign, were named team of the year. The IRB also recognised both in the same fashion this year.

It is the third year in succession that Hansen, who took over Graham Henry’s role following the World Cup victory in 2011, has won New Zealand coach of the year.

For Retallick it is the culmination of a year in which he played crucial parts for the Chiefs and All Blacks, the rugged tight forward developing his hard-charging game into one complete with finesse.

The 23-year-old and locking partner Sam Whitelock are a formidable presence in the All Blacks’ scrum and lineout and must be considered the No1 and No2 ranked locks in the world.

Retallick, who has played 35 tests, beat All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw, who has led the team in 100 tests, and halfback Aaron Smith, to the award.

The All Blacks, who retained their No1 world ranking for the fifth consecutive year, took out

All Blacks halfback Smith was named the Tom French Memorial Maori player of the year.

Malakai Fekitoa’s solo try for the Highlanders against the Sharks, which saw him beat half of the defence on a run which started on the halfway line in Durban, was the most popular try picked by rugby supporters.

RUGBY AWARDS

Brodie Retallick: Crucial player for Chiefs and All Blacks.

Team of the Year for the fourth successive year.

Unlike last year, the past 12 months haven’t been perfect in terms of results for the All Blacks - the 12-12 draw with the Wallabies and the 27-25 defeat to the Springboks in Johannesburg the two results which didn’t go the All Blacks’ way.

However, the year ended on a bright note with a sparkling final 10 minutes in the 34-16 victory over Wales in Cardiff three weeks ago.

Under Hansen, the All Blacks equalled the record of 17 consecutive victories by a major nation, secured a clean sweep against England, retained the Bledisloe Cup for a 12th year in a row, won a third successive Rugby Championship and beat USA, England, Scotland and Wales in last month’s northern tour.

Blues and All Blacks loose forward Kaino was awarded Super Rugby player of the year, a major achievement following his return from Japan.

Mixed results for U17s The Mid Canterbury under 17 cricket team meet South Canterbury in their final game of the Under 17 regional tournament in Timaru today. Mid Canterbury beat South Canterbury for their only win so far on Wednesday, going down Buller by 62 runs yesterday. Buller made 272/8 with Josh Buchanan taking 4/48 before Mid Canterbury were dismissed for 210 with Scott Punselie top scoring with 48. Mid Canterbury started the week losing both their Twenty20 matches on Monday to the Christchurch Metro sides. On Tuesday Canterbury Country made 257 before Mid Canterbury were bowled out for just 96. Mid Canterbury then beat South Canterbury by 47 runs, scoring 203/9, with Michael Burton 67 and Kieran Hunt 34.

Lake swimmers out in force

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Wet weather should be no worries for open water swimmers.

At least that is what the organisers of tomorrow’s Lake Hood Open Water Swim hope.

A record number of swimmers enjoyed superb conditions for last year’s event with 160 taking to the water.

The event only cracked 100 entries for the first time in 2012 and the fifth edition tomorrow has already gone over the 100

mark with Ashburton swim coach, Shayne Jones, hoping they would get a good number of walk-up swimmers on the day to get close to the record again.

The water temperature had been inching up last week, getting to 19 degrees, but the wet weather this week has seen it drop down towards a moderate 17.

The conditions will still seem tropical to those who swam in 2011, when the water tempera-

ture dropped to 14 degrees on race day and combined with a brisk 9 degrees out of the water saw a reduced feature event to a 2.5km swim for health and safety.

With a reasonable forecast, Jones believed there was no cause for such concerns this year.

At 7.30am the 10km, 5km and 4 x 2.5km relay events all hit the water before the first of the shorter events begins at 9.45am with the 2.5km race,

followed by 1.5km, 800m and 200m events.

The last of the swimmers should have reached dry land by midday for the prizegiving.

Michael Gray became the new king of the lake after he swam the 10km in 2 hours 39.57 minutes, while the new queen of the lake was Kerry Newton, the first female home in 3hr 34.57.

Neither had entered as of last night meaning there will likely be new champions of the lake.

■ CRICKET

Century for India’s stand-in skipper

By RoB FoRsaith Stand-in skipper Virat Kohli promised in the lead-up to the first Test that India would put up more of a fight than their most recent tour.

Already he is right.

Kohli was one of few Indians to stand up in 2011-12, when Australia stormed to a 4-0 series win.

His maiden Test century came in Adelaide, where he scored 116.

It was India’s only ton during that series.

The tourists lost by 298 runs

at Adelaide Oval, ending a onesided series in which Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman largely failed to fire.

Kohli, Wriddhiman Saha and Ishant Sharma are the only three players remaining from the XI that was comprehensively outclassed in that match - a tick under three years ago.

“There’s going to be more aggression this time around (from India),” Kohli declared upon arrival.

Kohli, leading his side in the absence of injured wicketkeeper MS Dhoni, has backed

up his words with impressive actions.

He was dismissed for 115 late yesterday, having been otherwise rarely ruffled in an innings that started with a Mitchell Johnson bouncer that struck his helmet.

Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane all passed 50 and looked capable of offering even more support during the rescheduled four-Test series.

“I don’t see any reason why we can’t put up a good fight,” Kohli said prior to the first Test.

“We’re here to play aggressive cricket, play the brand of cricket that Australia plays.”

India’s effort in the field on days one and two suggest they’re unlikely to record a maiden Test series win in Australia.

But they’re on the right track to keep the hosts far more honest.

Kohli will be relieved with his return to Test form after a woeful tour of England earlier this year.

Kohli managed 134 runs at an average of 13.40 in his 10 innings in England.

The unbeaten Tech head next door at the Ashburton Domain to face Allenton in the latest round of senior cricket’s Pritchard Shield tomorrow. Tech are the only team to be five-from-five but have both Allenton and Lauriston hot on their heels at the mid-way point of the competition. Tech can open up a two-game gap on Allenton with a win while Lauriston will be looking to stay on pace. Lauriston scraped home last week but face a Methven side with a serious problem scoring runs - with 13 ducks in the last two weeks, while Coldstream are at home to the improving Lauriston B.

‘I’ll have to do better’ Adam Scott has warned the revised Royal Pines course is ripe for plunder. Scott shot a four-under par 68 in yesterday’s Australian PGA Championship opening round but wasn’t getting too excited, saying he’ll need plenty more low scoring if he’s to retain the title.

Last year Scott started with a sixunder 65 and believes his winning total of 14-under is unlikely to be enough this year. “I’ve got a feeling we’re going to have to do better than that,” he said.

Pledger lifts for Breakers If the Breakers were struggling to get past Perth on the outside, they had to turn their attentions closer to the rim. Which meant one thing - an injury-stricken Alex Pledger would have to forget the pain of a persistent toe injury and provide a major contribution. Pledger did just that as the Breakers (10-4) won a top-of-the-table battle at Vector Arena last night, helping his side recover from an indifferent first half to take first place away from the Wildcats (9-4). His performance sparked a dominant third quarter that saw the hosts sneak home 77-66.

Cachopas crush capital The collective hands of the Cachopa brothers saw Auckland seize control of their Plunket Shield clash with Wellington yesterday.

After opting to bowl on day one at the Basin Reserve, Auckland rolled the hosts for 199 before advancing to 117-2 at stumps. Nine of the 10 Wellington wickets to fall were snaffled by the three brothers.

At Hagley Oval, Doug Bracewell took five wickets as CD dismissed Canterbury for 269.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Venus is all for following your heart and a creative edge is what a new professional push needs. Keep your professional side while having fun.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) As she spends her first full day in an adventurous part of your chart Venus encourages you to rebel, going through the motions is not enough.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Venus’ departure from your relationship sector left you with a clearer sense of what you want from relationships and what they need from you.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As Venus spends her first full day in your relationship sector she’s here to make sure your relationship needs aren’t neglected.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) It’s in the later weeks of the year that things will become even busier on the work front, with a need to focus on finding a balance between work and play.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) As she spends her first full day in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart Venus knows she’s got a tough job on her hands.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Remember the desires and expectations you moved into the year with, appreciate what has evolved and bring a desire for simple comforts.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s where Mars has already managed to clear the air and get unsaid words out in the open that Venus is able to do some damage control.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As she spends her first full day in your income sector Venus is in her element, for this is where she’s able to really make things happen.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Financial instincts triggered today are likely to come with 20/20 hindsight and a chance to look back at the road already travelled.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) You have a rare opportunity where you have the doors open to second chances on the communication and relationship fronts at the same time.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Take a ‘work hard, play hard’ attitude, making the most of any downtime after hours or the end of year social activities at work.

Nationals beckon for Mid Canterbury

Six teams will contest the South Island Regional Sevens Tournament in Timaru tomorrow and only one will miss out on a trip to the nationals.

Mid Canterbury will hoping they are again one of the five teams heading to Rotorua for the nationals in January.

The Hammers booked a trip to the nationals earlier this year, picking up a win over fellow Heartland side Poverty Bay.

Mid Canterbury coach Mark Cousin’s named an experienced squad led by captain Richard Catherwood, Will Mackenzie and Seta Koroitamana – who all attended the nationals earlier this year while Brenton Connell is also an experienced sevens exponent.

The inclusion of Rakaia’s Lepani Seitava and Southbridge’s Esikia Macu - a Fijian under 20s representative, offers some extra size and speed.

Mark Jackman, Tasman and Southland in the round robin.

The top four teams are guaranteed passage to the nationals but still have to play semi-finals and a final.

The most important match of the weekend is the playoff for fifth, which determines what other teams is bound for the nationals and which side stays at home.

Hosts South Canterbury missed the cut last year – a fate Mid Canterbury suffered in 2012.

As Cousins has said in the past, it’s an interesting format to include semi-finals and finals when it would be more fitting and fair to have a full round robin to determine seeding order - rather than rely on a one-off game with so much at stake.

The Hammer will want to avoid the sudden death match by collecting a win or two in pool play.

The first games kick off at 10am with coverage on Sky Sport 7.
