Dairy jobs drop in downturn

The dairy downturn is resulting in a tightening Mid Canterbury job market, as some staff are laid off and those leaving are not replaced.

Ashburton Forks dairy farmer Graham Lowe is among dairy farmers who will be returning to the milking sheds this coming season, in order to save money.

He said he had had to disestablish the position of lower order sharemilker on his 1100-cow farm. This would take effect on June 1, and he would be milking the cows himself instead.

The sharemilker had been trying to find another job, but had been unsuccessful.

“It’s never fun ruining people’s lives,

but I have got the banks breathing down my neck as well,” Mr Lowe said.

Mr Lowe said a former farm manager would be filling the role of 2ic on the farm as of June 1, representative of a trend in the tight job market where managers used to earning $100,000 per annum were taking lower roles.

Personnel Placements Ashburton branch manager Lisa Harcourt agreed higher-paid management roles were disappearing as farm owners picked up those jobs themselves.

And when a farm manager job did come up, it was not uncommon to receive up to 100 applications.

However, AgStaff operations manager Jim Henderson said while tightening of the job market had been noticeable, it was not “panic stations”.

Dairy farmers were becoming more choosy, and the skill level of applicants was higher; but as long as cows needed milking, staff would be required.

Rooney Group general manager Colin Dixon said yesterday the company was not replacing about 10 workers it had lost through natural attrition over the past year. There had been less winter maintenance work on dairy farms for Rooney Group, which has bases throughout Waimate, Ashburton and Timaru.

“There was very little last winter, and we expect very little this winter,” Mr Dixon said.

■ WATER FLUORIDATION

Decision to be put in DHBs’ hands

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A move to curb escalating rates of tooth decay by transferring water fluoridation decisions from district councils to district health boards has been well received by local professionals.

For years adding fluoride to Ashburton’s town water supply has been a topic which has divided public opinion. The Ashburton District Council stopped adding fluoride in 2002 after the result of a community petition.

Yesterday Health Minister Jonathan Coleman proposed taking the decision away from local councils and handing it over to DHBs. Mr Coleman said water fluoridation was backed by the World Health Organisation and other international health authorities as the most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay.

Draft legislation to push forward the change is expected to be tabled in parliament later this year. Members of the public will be invited to make submissions to the health select committee when it considers the bill.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay backed the initiative.

“This is a health issue and in my opinion should be discussed

in a health environment where all aspects, including reports of data and scientific evidence can be heard by a forum of qualified people,” he said.

“I favour parliament taking on the issue and I’ve advocated for this for a long time.”

Local dentist Dr Justin Wall said the decision had been a long time coming. However he said his preference would be for the decision to be made at cabinet level.

Dr Wall said the current focus on child oral health had deceived the public from the real purpose of fluoridating water, which was to protect adult teeth – in particular for the growing number of elderly people on fixed incomes.

“Fluoride is not put in place for the benefit of children – it’s put in place for the benefit of adults, because you are an adult for far longer,” he said.

“In my biased opinion no government would ever introduce measures to provide subsidised oral health care for the elderly without having fluoridation of the water supply.”

He was of the opinion antifluoride lobbyists had held up the delivery of subsidised dental care for the elderly for the past 15 years by consistently putting the spotlight on child oral health.

■ LONGBEACH SCHOOL

Focus on learning difficulties

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury school is taking on a new education approach to cater for children with learning difficulties.

Longbeach School has developed an action research plan to focus on learning difficulties and how to best support students throughout 2016.

This research will also look into different learning styles for all students because not all children absorb and process information the same way.

Principal Neil Simons said they

created this initiative after seeing an increasing range of students facing challenges while learning.

While there is probably not an actual increase in the number of students with learning difficulties there has been an increase in the number identified as having a disorder due to a better understanding of specialist needs, he said.

The difficulties can include dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia and there are still students who are undiagnosed.

Children who have dysgraphia often have messy handwriting and 20 years ago this would have

been seen as being lazy, Mr Simons said.

This year staff at Longbeach School have been undertaking professional learning development and researching specific learning needs through an inquiry-type method.

This has been very beneficial and teachers have enjoyed putting it into action, he said.

There is no direct plan in place for the year but the end result should see the school able to better meet the needs of students with learning difficulties, Mr Simons said.

They started the year looking at different disorders and are currently focusing on dyslexia.

Teachers have been studying research to find the best practice to help children with special needs.

Mr Simons said he has seen a positive transition in some students already with them being more motivated and, as a result, more successful in their work.

The school has also got learning support software and apps, which can also be used at home, to help children who have been identified as having a learning difficulty.

Dairy jobs drop in downturn From P1 ACL chief executive officer Gary Casey said the company was not replacing staff in some departments. Nevertheless, it was still advertising for key staff across the company. While it was certainly “a different environment” than 12 months ago, redundancies would not be a consideration.

Stuart Tarbotton of Ashburton’s Tarbotton Contractors said while dairying was booming the company was able to employ up to a dozen casuals, as well as subcontractors, but could not do this now.

“We are just doing a lot of small jobs, rather than bigger jobs,” he said.

Making students aware of services Ashburton College Year 12 and 13 students attended a youth health forum at the college, in conjunction with Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service

(Acads), yesterday.

Representatives from a number of organisations attended and set up displays including Acads, Family Planning, Hype, the Can-

cer Society and Safer Ashburton.

Guardian rules out publishing shooting photos Photos have been released of masked gunman Russell John Tully inside the Ashburton Work and Income offices on the morning of September 1, 2014.

Suppression orders preventing the publication of the photos were lifted by the High Court yesterday.

Out of respect to the family members, friends and colleagues of Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland who were killed in the rampage, the Guardian has chosen not to publish the disturbing images.

The four images were lifted from CCTV footage from inside the building and used as evidence in Tully’s High Court trial, where a jury found him guilty of two counts of murder and one of attempted murder last month.

Fairfax Media applied to have the suppression lifted, however the Crown and the Ministry of Social Development were both opposed to media having access to the material.

Yesterday afternoon MSD confirmed it would not appeal Justice Cameron Mander’s decision to lift suppression, delivered last week but was embargoed until last night.

Justice Mander said releasing the CCTV footage would cause distress to the victim’s families and friends and others in the building at the time, but could see no valid reason to override the media’s request to use the photographs for reporting on the trial.

Keen to return camera A German tourist who found a camera belonging to a New Zealander in Iceland is keen to return it to its owner – four years after it was last used.

Dorle Queisner was in Iceland’s capital Reykjavik, travelling by herself in June last year, when she found a camera at the Skaftafell glacier.

The Hanover resident said the camera wasn’t working however the memory card was still intact with about 50 video diaries, the last being filmed in May 2012.

The hotel nearby confirmed a Kiwi man named James Wiig stayed at the hotel.

However, he had only provided an email address, which Ms Queisner tried to contact a number of times, but didn’t get a reply.

She said the videos on the memory card consisted of the man in a number of different tourist spots throughout Iceland.

“I believe that it would be very nice to get the video diary back to him,” she said.

■ DISTRICT-WIDE RECYCLING

Recycling volumes double

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Recycling volumes have doubled at Mid Canterbury’s rural dropoff sites since a new district-wide system was introduced.

The increase is mainly due to the inclusion of plastics which can now be dropped off at these sites.

There are 10 rural recycling drop-off sites throughout the district, including at Methven, Hinds, Mayfield, Mt Somers, Staveley, Pendarves, Hakatere Huts and Willowby.

Ashburton District Council waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin said the changeover to the new “co-mingle system” began in February.

Recycling volumes recorded at the Methven Recycling DropOff Facility were indicative of volumes throughout the district under the new system.

In February, the council recorded 4950 kilograms of recyclables at the Methven site. In March this increased to 11,790 kilograms.

Mr Goodwin said as well as the

new system allowing plastics to be taken, it operated more efficiently than the old system using spud boxes, in terms of how materials were collected and emptied from the sites.

“The new system uses a frontload compactor truck which can service several sites in the same amount of time it took to service just one site on the old system,” Mr Goodwin said.

The new system has come at no cost to the council. The council’s recycling contractor, Envirowaste, invested in the changeo-

ver in collaboration with the council, and provided all of the co-mingle skips, and separate glass bins, at its own cost.

He said Envirowaste took the recyclables through to a new and modern sorting facility in Timaru.

“Because there are so many different kinds of plastic, it is important that it is sorted by people who know the business,” Mr Goodwin said.

The material was separated and baled at the site before being exported.

A man who killed his wife with a tomahawk has had his bid for freedom quashed by the New Zealand Parole Board. John Frederick Ericson, 54, is serving a life sentence after pleading guilty in 2000 to the murder of his wife, Sandra. He killed her after striking her in the back of the head with a tomahawk 22 times as she slept in 1999. At his parole hearing last month the board denied Ericson parole on the grounds that a definitive assessment of risk needed to be completed before parole could be considered.

■ MID CANTERBURY REAL ESTATE

March prices significantly up

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

March house prices in the Ashburton District showed the most significant annual increase in Canterbury.

The median sales price lifted by more than 24 per cent to $355,000 compared to $285,000 in March 2015.

Prices were also significantly up on February 14.1 per cent. Sales volumes remained steady year on year at 58 but were well up on the

38 houses sold last month.

The Ashburton District was part of a national trend in March where record prices were set in many areas. In Auckland, one in three properties that sell are now valued at more than $1 million.

Ashburton was going through a period of high demand, particularly in homes priced below $400,000, Real Estate New Zealand, Ashburton owner Trevor Hurley said.

“We’re seeing a shortage of

good quality listings, across all price ranges really and we’re also finding there’s good demand from investors for anything under $200,000 that might need a bit of work. The returns are good on these properties for the equity you’re putting in,” he said.

Houses generally were moving well, but inevitably there were some that were stickers, and that generally came down to price.

“It’s always the same thing, the owner can set the price but the

market will dictate the value and sometimes it takes a while for this correction to come. Until there’s a meeting in the middle nothing will happen.”

The Christchurch market was interesting at the moment because there was a clash between high quality homes that had been through the earthquake repair process and new builds that were similarly priced, but that was not happening to any degree in Ashburton, Mr Hurley said.

Faeces smeared over CCTV camera A Whanganui man who smeared faeces over a police CCTV camera has received a prison sentence.

Fabian Christian Andrew Bull pleaded guilty to two charges of wilful damage and two of receiving stolen property when he appeared in the Whanganui District Court yesterday.

On November 9 last year items including a claw hammer, which had been taken from a Whanganui garage, were later found at Bull’s home.

On the same day, 10 bottles of medicine were stolen from Hawkins Pharmacy and were also found in Bull’s possession.

Then on November 13 Bull was in a secure cell of a prison truck and was “extremely agitated and aggressive”. Upon getting out of the vehicle he smashed a window of the truck. Earlier that day he “defaecated on the cell floor” before smearing his faeces over a CCTV camera.

Judge David Cameron convicted him and sentenced him to two months imprisonment, cumulative, on each of receiving stolen property charge and one month concurrent on each the wilful damage charges, but cumulative with the other charges.

- NZME

Ashburton’s market was currently quite solid, but currently it tended by be weighted more in favour of buyers, he said.

REINZ regional director Jim Davis said that the Canterbury Westland market been strong in March with a good level of buyer inquiry across all areas of the market.

“It is noticeable stock levels are decreasing against as new listings are, once again, in short supply and sold stock is not being replaced as quickly,” he said.

Principal Tim Kuipers said the day was a way for parents to share their cultures with students because a third of families at the school spoke English as a second language.

Students have been studying different cultures in class and every year they try to do an event that brings other cultures

There were 10 different activities including dance, music, food and stories.

Some of the cultures on display were Filipino, Dutch, German, South African, Brazilian and Ecuadorian.

After nearly a year in temporary facilities Ashburton’s St Vincent de Paul will have a new shop.

The society has been operating out of the Ashburton Learning Centre since July last year in order for their premises in The Triangle to be demolished and rebuilt due to earthquake damage.

The building work has now been completed and their new shop will be opened during an invitation-only ceremony on Sunday.

Building committee member Michael Hanrahan said the shop won’t officially open for business until Tuesday, April 26, to give the volunteers time to get everything ready.

The new building will be much nicer for the volunteers who man the shop and while the temporary facilities were good they were not a proper shop set-up, he said.

Sunday’s event will include a ribbon cutting, afternoon tea, speeches and a tour around the building. The society’s national president will also be down from Waihi for the occasion.

The temporary facilities will be closed this Friday.

■ ASHBURTON RIVER BRIDGE

Concern over footbridges Ashburton’s motorists might have issues with traffic congestion during peak hours but cyclists, pedestrians and people in mobility scooters are facing problems of their own when they cross the Ashburton River bridge.

Several people have contacted the Guardian about the state of the pedestrian and cyclist footbridges on either side of the carriage way. Nails are protruding from planks, boards are loose or rotten and several users say they are now forced to tread very carefully when using the walkways.

Maintenance on the two accessways is anything but straightforward, however, says Ashburton District Council roading manager Brian Fauth.

Who is responsible for the work depends on which side of the bridge the accessway is on.

The council looks after the downstream side while the New Zealand Transport Agency through its contractor, Downers, is responsible for looking after the upstream side.

The condition of both sides was not ideal, Mr Fauth said and a few years ago plans were drawn up to widen and resurface the walkways.

Maintenance is lagging on the pedestrian and cycleways on either side of the Ashburton River bridge and that’s forcing people to use extra care as they dodge protruding nails and loose boards.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 110416-TM-0055 “Those plans have dropped off the (NZTA) programme and haven’t managed to get back on,” Mr Fauth said.

The council was aware that the accessways were quite narrow and while two bikes might wriggle past one another two mobil-

ity scooters could not.

When they were first constructed one accessway was for pedestrians and the other for cyclists but both had multiple use today, he said.

While the council was not aware of issues currently around

the surface of the footbridges, Mr Fauth said people should let the council know if there were issues with either side.

If the problem lay on the transport agency side, it would move the request for service on, he said.

Corrections minister to open new facilities michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Masterton quake A strong magnitude 5.2 quake was felt widely across central New Zealand early on Tuesday. The quake, which was located 15km west of Masterton and struck at a depth of 24km, disrupted commuter train services out of the Wairarapa and prompted checks on the region’s bridges. But while the strong jolt may have frayed nerves and shaken a few china cabinets, it appeared the region escaped largely unscathed. - NZME

Cleared of sex charges

■ ASHBURTON COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS SERVICE

By Michelle NelsoN

In brief

on site, with the benefit of an ergonomic environment which promotes collaborative effort and the integration of resources.

Community Corrections sites are where staff manage community-based offenders and their sentences. As well as making sure offenders comply with their sentences, Community Corrections provided offenders with rehabilitation programmes, education and job training to assist in breaking the cycle of reoffending.

The upgrade of the Commu-

nity Corrections site in Ashburton was part of a national programme of work, which would see about 70 per cent of service centres brought up to modern standards in terms of service design and security over the next four years. The changes would offer offenders a full range of support, rehabilitation and skill-building in a safe and secure environment.

The new site serves as the base for community work sentences, from where teams of offenders go into the community

to do reparative work on projects including walking track development, litter clearance and grounds maintenance.

Each year offenders provided over two million hours of community work in New Zealand, including projects for councils, community organisations and government agencies.

In Ashburton in 2015, 7249 hours were completed by 114 offenders.

The official opening will take place at 10am on Tuesday at the Mona Square site.

A prominent New Zealander has been cleared of sex charges against two girls. After deliberation, the jury in the High Court at Whangarei returned not guilty verdicts on all 12 charges of doing an indecent act yesterday.

■ HIGH COURT CHRISTCHURCH

Child rapist gets 19 1/2 years jail Child rapist Robert Selwyn Burrett has been sentenced to 19-and-ahalf years in jail with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years.

His sentencing came after the mother one of his young victims stood in court, looked him in the eyes, and said, “I hate you”.

Christchurch school bus driver and caretaker Burrett earlier pleaded guilty to 21 charges of sexual violation relating to 12 young victims, including on children he abused in his underground caretaker’s shed, at the High Court at Christchurch.

The 64-year-old grandfather admitted abuse including rape, sodomy, forced oral sex, indecent assaults, video-taping of the of-

fending, and watching pornography.

Burrett installed curtains and a lock in the caretaker’s shed at the school where he worked. He would take the girls there, often giving them chocolate and lollies, before sexually abusing them.

The mother of young victims told Burrett that his crimes had left her feeling like a useless parents, blaming herself for his offending.

The family, she said, feels “betrayed in the worst possible way” by someone they thought they could trust.

Her daughters are more suspicious now, affecting how they trust people, and are scared that

the abuse will happen to them again.

The offending has affected the mother’s relationship with her daughters.

“I hate you and hate what you have done to my daughters,” she said.

The mother, holding back tears, told Burrett in the dock that she felt “disgusted” and “sickened”, as well as angry and frightened that it could impact her “traumatised” daughters in the future.

Burrett “groomed and manipulated” children in order to engage in sexual activity with them, Justice Gerald Nation said.

Burrett was a paedophile, the judge said, who was not only at-

tracted to children but allowed himself sexual gratification from them in circumstances he must’ve known was morally repugnant generally and with his own family.

The judge acknowledged the devastating effect his offending has had on the families and parents, and the gross breach of trust which has had devastating consequences for everyone involved.

All families had been suffering their own particular demands and stresses at the time of the offending, he said.

One family was going through a devastating family situation which Burrett had known about and still abuse their child, the court heard.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Sports House beginning to fulfil its role It might have got off to a faltering start, but Sports House in the EA Networks Centre is beginning to fulfil its role as an administration hub for a range of sporting codes.

The space became mired in controversy last year when potential users said it had not lived up to their expectations, but several months after it was ready for tenants, it now has administrators from seven sports working in the area.

And that’s pleased Ashburton District Council sports facilities manager Steve Prescott.

The sports house users range between full-timers and several who use desk space for about 20 hours a week, he said.

While there was an opportunity for groups whose administrators required desk space for only a few hours a month to hot desk, all of the tenants had their own workspace, Mr Prescott said.

There is space for about three more administrators before the facility will be full.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 110416-TM-0048 from the area seemed to enjoy what was proving to be a collegial working environment and regu-

lar meetings were held to ensure the shared space ran with few problems, he said.

While the open plan workspace is shared, most users provided their own lockable cabinets.

House of Hearing

One report before the courts said that one child had become “disillusioned with the world” and did not trust the intentions of adults now.

Parents now feel like they have let their children down, Justice Nation said.

While the instinctive reaction of most people would be that no sentence would be too harsh and that Burrett should spend the rest of his life in prison, the judge said he was bound by law.

In sentencing Burrett, Justice Nation said that unless he made significant change to his thinking, it was unlikely that the Parole Board would grant him parole.

OUR VIEW

Fluoridation no longer a local debate Sue Newman

T

o fluoridate or not to fluoridate Ashburton’s drinking water supplies, it’s an issue that has divided the community – several times.

And that’s happened across New Zealand as communities have petitioned to have the anti-tooth decay substance put into or removed from their water supplies.

Until now, the issue of which supplies were fluoridated and which were not was in the hands of individual local authorities. It was a decision few were happy making, believing such a significant decision that impacted on individual health – adversely or beneficially depending on your point of view – should not be made by the layman or woman.

Finally the decisions on fluoridation have been moved back into the hands of the experts, district health boards. Local government has been lobbying for the change for some time and now decisions around fluoridation have moved on to other shoulders, with the reshuffle of responsibility signed off later this year.

The Government, through its health boards, will now make this decision and follow through with implementation. And cover costs?

No doubt this won’t occur without plenty of angst and anger in some communities, but regardless of the outcome, the decisions will be the right ones made for the right reasons and made without emotion.

The change will put groups opposing fluoridation of water supplies on high alert, but at the end of the day, the evidence is there that a lack of fluoride equates to poor dental health, particularly in children.

Dentists have been unrelenting in their calls for fluoridation of water supplies to be applied across New Zealand. They’re the people at the coal face, the people who see the evidence that comes in dental decay in areas where water supplies are not fluoridated.

Local government is constantly under pressure from central government to assume more and more responsibilities, usually without financial support; this is one time when mayors around New Zealand can celebrate as they watch one very important responsibility move off their shoulders, back where it belongs.

Decisions on health issues should never be dumped on local authority shoulders; health decisions should be made by the health decision-makers and that’s how it will now be with fluoride.

The question now is how long before fluoride comes back to Ashburton?

YOUR VIEW Water plant No overseas based corporation, no fleets of trucks carrying bladders of water, instead a boost for New Zealand-owned railways and [the creation of] up to 100 local jobs!

Perhaps the handwringing objectors may now learn to breathe through their noses until they understand the facts, rather than making it up as they go along!

he Mid Canterbury Economic Development Strategy has been finalised, after a wide range of consultation that saw broad agreement with the principles of the strategy.

It will be released in the next couple of weeks.

But Grow Mid Canterbury was working with stakeholders to advance the key work streams of the strategy long before it was finalised. One of these work streams was growing year-round tourism.

It didn’t seem so important when the dairy price was sitting at $8.50 and other agricultural product prices were positive, but it seems a lot more relevant now, with low agricultural product prices and a soaring tourist market that is currently the country’s largest export earner.

That doesn’t mean the agricultural industry is no longer important, far from it, we still have a hungry world to feed and excellent opportunities in the future.

Agriculture and food will again be our leading export earner. It just shows the benefit of having options and not all of your eggs in one basket.

A key project in the tourism work stream is the development of hot pools in Methven. Why? Because Methven has a host of tourism resources that are underutilised outside of our relatively short ski season. We just need to add people to increase economic activity.

Although it isn’t the be all and end all on its own, a hot-pool facility would provide a reason for visitors to stay longer during the ski season and to visit outside of the season:

Increasing recreational opportunities for the residents of Methven, Mid Canterbury and wider Canterbury.

After a great deal of feasibility, analysis and design work the resource consent application for the project will be lodged next week.

Grow Mid Canterbury did the initial pre-feasibility work, but would never have been able to develop the project without the support of the community.

Though it would like to, Grow Mid Canterbury simply does not

have the funds to develop these projects.

It receives funding of $240,000 from the Ashburton District Council which has only increased

by CPI since 2007. It raises the rest of its funding itself, approximately $500k, from government and industry contracts.

This project is an excellent example of the community working together for the common good.

In 2012 a company was formed to fund the in-depth feasibility and resource consent application for the hot pools.

They had no expectation of receiving any benefit; they couldn’t have because they didn’t know if the project would even make it to resource consent stage and still have no guarantee it will make it to development.

And many local businesspeople have since stepped up to assist the project on the same basis.

■ PANAMA PAPERS

‘One rule for super-rich’ British Prime Minister David Cameron fought back after days of criticism over his finances, lashing out at what he called hurtful and untrue claims about his late father’s investments sparked by leaked details about the offshore accounts of the rich and famous.

Trying to restore his government’s shaken reputation, Cameron insisted that “aspiration and wealth creation are not somehow dirty words” and said Britain was acting to stop evasion in its overseas tax havens.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called it a “masterclass in the art of distraction”.

Cameron has been under mounting pressure since his father, Ian Cameron, was identified as a client of a Panamanian law firm that specialises in helping the wealthy reduce their tax burdens.

Cameron published his tax returns yesterday.

“I accept all of the criticisms for not responding more quickly to these issues last week,” Cameron told MPs in the House of Commons.

“But as I said, I was angry about the way my father’s memory was being traduced.”

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and Corbyn both published details of their own tax returns.

So did London Mayor Boris Johnson, revealed to have paid almost £1 million in tax over the last four years.

Corbyn said the Panama Papers had “driven home is what many people have increasingly felt – there is now one rule for

Stairway to court Led Zeppelin founders Jimmy Page and Robert Plant lost their bid to avoid a trial that may rewrite the history of rock ‘n’ roll over song-writing credit for the 1971 classic Stairway to Heaven. A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that a jury must decide whether the British rockers ripped off the opening licks of Taurus, recorded by a band named Spirit that once played concerts with Zeppelin. The lawsuit was brought in 2014, 43 years after Stairway to Heaven was released, on behalf of the late Randy California, Spirit’s guitarist and the composer of Taurus. Stairway to Heaven is one of the most successful rock songs of all time, having earned hundreds of millions of dollars.

Prime Minister David Cameron says he bungled his admission of his investment in an offshore fund revealed in the mammoth data breach at a Panama law firm.

PHOTO AP the super-rich and another for the rest.”

“I’m honestly not sure that you fully appreciate the anger that is out there over this injustice,” he told Cameron.

Based on the Panama Papers revelations, Geneva prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation linked to an Amedeo Modigliani painting allegedly looted from a Jewish art dealer during World War Two. Prosecutor’s office spokesman Henri Della Casa said that the painting was confiscated last week at special tax zones

known as the Geneva free ports.

He declined to comment further.

Founder James Palmer of Mondex Corp, a Toronto firm that tracks despoiled artworks, says the Nazis stole the 1918 painting, Seated Man with a Cane, from collector Oscar Stettinger who fled Paris as the war began.

Palmer said the painting was estimated to be worth at least $US25 million.

It was sold at a London auction in 1996 to an offshore

company reportedly created by the Mossack Fonseca law firm.

Venezuela’s chief prosecutor has ordered banks to freeze the accounts of people that the Government is investigating in connection with the leaked documents.

Public prosecutor Luisa Ortega told the television station Globovision that prosecutors are considering issuing arrest warrants for people named in the Panama Papers.

She didn’t say who might be affected.

■ GENEVA

Campaign to stop killer robots intensifies Technology allowing a pre-programmed robot to shoot to kill, or a tank to fire at a target with no human involvement, is only years away, experts say.

A new report called for a ban on such “killer robots”.

The report by Human Rights Watch and the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic was released as the United Nations kicked off a week-long meeting on such weapons in Geneva.

The report calls for humans to remain in control over all weapons systems at a time of rapid technological advances.

It says that requiring humans to remain in control of critical functions during combat, including the selection of targets, saves lives and ensures that fighters comply with international law.

“Machines have long served as instruments of war, but historically humans have directed how they are used,” said Bonnie Docherty, senior arms division researcher at Human Rights Watch.

“Now there is a real threat that humans would relinquish their control

and delegate life-and-death decisions to machines.”

Some have argued in favour of robots on the battlefield, saying their use could save lives. But last year, more than 1000 technology and robotics experts – including scientist Stephen Hawking, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak – warned that such weapons could be developed within years, not decades.

In an open letter, they argued that if any major military power pushes ahead with development of autonomous weapons, “a global arms race is virtually inevitable, and the endpoint of this technological trajectory is obvious: autonomous weapons will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow”.

According to the London-based organisation Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, the United States, China, Israel, South Korea, Russia, and Britain are moving toward systems that would give machines greater combat autonomy.

The UN meeting of experts on the issue, chaired by Germany, continues talks that took place in April 2015 and May 2014.

Batfleck makes first appearance A new trailer for the latest action-packed DC Comics’ blockbuster Suicide Squad has been released - and it gives fans the first taste of Batfleck. The Warner Brothers’ film, which sees a secret government agency recruiting super-villains to carry out black op missions in exchange for freedom, also stars Jared Leto as the new Joker and Margot Robbie (above) as Harley Quinn. Ben Affleck as Batman features briefly for the first time in the new trailer, which was shown at the MTV Music Awards yesterday. Suicide Squad hits screens in the United States in early August and also stars Cara Delevingne, Will Smith and Viola Davis.

Hall of Fame ‘reality show’

Killer robots populate the Terminator movies

Steve Miller had just performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, but he wasn’t finished. In fact, he was just getting started. The new inductee ripped the rock hall in a backstage interview, calling the evening a “lazy” night with “a bunch of fat cats” that was tantamount to a bad reality show “ only he used a stronger epithet than “bad.” “I don’t know why I was nominated for this because I said this for 30 years,” the 72-year-old musician said in the interview. “I don’t get along with the people running it.

When I found out about it, I felt like I was in a (expletive) reality TV show.” Of the evening as a whole, Miller said: “It wasn’t very overwhelming. It was a lazy kind of night with a bunch of fat cats at the dinner table.

It’s not a real pleasant experience to tell you the truth.”

■ MILK PRICE FUTURES

In brief

Bright dairy future predicted ception that Fonterra should take care of the risk for farmers.

He said the contract would also be important for farm lenders – if more dairy farmers managed their risk properly, the less risky their debt would be.

Rice said he was convinced the sector had Brian a bright future, even though it is struggling with the issue of overproduction - particularly from the European Union.

“The market is oversupplied and prices are reflecting that,” he said.

“Low prices means increased demand and incentivise producers to slow down and ultimately

those forces will kick in and the market will cycle the other way.

“It’s possible that that could happen by the end of 2016, but I don’t think that we will get an uptick in the next couple of months,” he said.

Rice added there was more upside risk than downside risk for dairy.

Rice Rice said factors that produced the “white gold” days of 2013/14 were still there.

“Production will slow down a bit and demand from places like Russia and China will kick back in,” he said.

“I think in the big picture, on a multi-year timeframe, I am bullish on dairy.”

INVESTMENT ADVISER

where you want to be in the future.

Like any destination, if you don’t know where you are going, it sure is hard deciding what is best today to hit that target.

Yet some simple understanding of the basics and some disciplined planning can help many avoid the outcomes of let’s say being financial illiterate.

And we have seen those manifested in; couples separating over financial issues, young adults starting life with huge debt and retirees losing life savings in bad schemes or in many cases simply scams.

So before anyone even starts thinking about investments the first thing you need to do is get control of your money or cash management.

Simple things like split your bank accounts into fixed and variable expenses and goal related funds.

Internet banking makes this so easy to do.

Set up direct debits for regular payments and don’t waste money

on interest e.g. credit card debt.

Set up alerts on your phone for when your balance gets low – would you rather a 20c fee for the text or $20 overdraft fee?

And don’t get blinded by retail sales – if you bought something you didn’t really need then it is not a bargain.

Adopt a strategy of save first and spend what is left and not the other way round.

A number of years ago a Harvard University study noted only 10 per cent of the class had goals, with only 3 per cent having them written down.

On reviewing the situation two decades later – the 10 per cent with goals had achieved more wealth than the other 90 per cent combined and were also healthier and happier.

So write down those goals, something magical might start to happen!

Some simple and basic planning, setting some goals, being disciplined and getting advice can make an immense difference to your financial future.

am currently in the middle of preparing a financial education workshop for the employees of a large New Zealand corporate.

Now, I have done many of these in the past and usually the focus has been on investments and understanding the key principles – risk, return, asset allocation etc.

But over recent years I have seen a change in the need and employees wanting some basic understanding of money management.

After all how can you invest if you have no money?

Financial literacy has recently become a key focus of government and I have always wondered why it wasn’t many years ago.

We teach a lot of various skills to children and young adults but unlike overseas, financial literacy has never exactly been a dominant subject at school.

Given that money plays such an important part in our lives one wonders why this has been the case.

Most people when they start out in life want to achieve some form of financial freedom, security or wealth.

NZX’s planned new milk price futures contract can help bring stability to a dairy sector being hit by low returns, says visiting Chicago-based commodities specialist Brian Rice.

Rice, who heads up advisory firm Rice Dairy, said the contract, which the NZX plans to launch next month, could be beneficial for farmers and bankers alike.

“If we get this thing right, it will make for a much more durable and stable dairy industry in New Zealand.”

Fonterra’s farmgate milk price forecast for the current season sits at $3.90 a kg of milksolids – well below the breakeven point of $5.25 a kg.

Prices, which in 2014 hit a record $8.40 a kg, have become increasingly volatile and farmers no longer have Fonterra’s guaranteed milk scheme to offset their risk.

Rice and international banker JT McFarlane are in New Zealand at the invitation of the Fonterra Shareholders Council to talk to farmers about managing their risk.

“I see a slow but steady adoption so I do think that [futures contract] volume will grow, year after year, as it ripples through New Zealand,” Rice said.

“The design of the contract is good, solely because it matches the risk of the New Zealand dairy farmer.”

So many ways to use courgettes W

hen they’re out of season, courgettes are a sought-after vegetable to add variety to winter’s root vegetable crops, but once autumn arrives and we’re still harvesting courgettes, they’re starting to pall.

Artist loving print-making

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Staveley artist Jen Dearborn has been prolific on the print-making front.

She has produced about 60 prints since completing a printmaking course about six months ago.

Her first works have been monochrome, but now she is branching into colour.

Ms Dearborn combines her artwork with her other passion, that of baking. She established Staveley Sausage Rolls over seven years ago, before selling the business about two years ago. She continues to work in her home-based commercial kitchen, making a range of meat pies for the Staveley Store.

And when she is not in the kitchen or spending time with her partner Matu and their three dogs, Ms Dearborn can be found immersing herself in her art.

She began painting about eight years ago, in water colours, oils and acrylics. Having undertaken lessons with Methven artist Karen Smith and fellow Staveley artist Susie Millichamp, she began exhibiting annually in conjunction with Mrs Millichamp at the Methven Art Gallery at the Methven Heritage Centre.

Ms Dearborn said she was enjoying her foray into print-making. The prints she does are oil mono-prints which are one-off originals. And landscapes, trees and forests are the subject matter which dominate her work.

“Because I live in Staveley and I spend a lot of time walking in the bush, it’s what’s around me. I love the forest, being in the forest,” Ms Dearborn said.

“I like to try and capture that magic, the way I see it, the way the light in the forest is in particular.”

Ms Dearborn is among Ashburton Society of Arts members preparing for the society’s upcoming highlight of the year, its annual show at the Ashburton Art Gallery, to open on July 4. Ms Dearborn is exhibition secretary.

She is also among artists displaying in the Ashburton Society of Arts annual autumn show under way at the Short Street Studio.

Convener Ngaio McKee said about 17 mainly local exhibitors are involved, including guest artist Richard Bolton, a water-colourist from Geraldine.

The exhibition opened on Friday and by Monday two works had sold.

“Everybody was very complimentary about the exhibition,” Mrs McKee said of the opening.

The autumn show is open to buyers on Saturday and Sunday from 9am until 3pm, and during the week on Mondays and Wednesdays. It will run until May 22.

In brief Tietjens backs SBW There is unwavering confidence from national sevens coach Sir Gordon Tietjens over Sonny Bill Williams’ participation at the Rio Olympics. Williams has drawn criticism three world series events into his sevens career, with former All Black Murray Mexted saying he simply isn’t suited to the short form game. However, Tietjens says Williams is still developing, and is well on track to peak in time for Rio. DJ Forbes is skipping this week’s tournament in Singapore to be rested, while Pita Ahki joins the growing list of injured players also on the way home.

Moylan ‘locked for life’

Gene Spooner took out second place in the Six Shooters grade at Ashburton Speedway on Sunday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 100416-TM-0044

Penrith supremo Phil Gould is promising to keep skipper Matt Moylan at the NRL club for life. The star fullback is in negotiations with the Panthers on a multi-million dollar new deal, which would keep him at the foot of the mountains until at least 2021. The 24-year-old, yet to earn a NSW Origin or Test jumper, is contracted until the end of 2017. It has been reported the four-year deal would see him rival Manly’s Daly Cherry-Evans as the game’s highest paid player. Gould was adamant there was no chance the local junior would ever pull on a rival club’s jersey.

Baz opens with a duck

Warming up for title shots

Brendon McCullum got off to a weird and terrible start in his return to the Indian Premier League but his team still scored a crushing victory. McCullum was stumped for a duck in the first over from the medium pacer Sandeep Sharma, with wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha making the out standing up to the stumps.

Apart from that, the Gujarat Lions dominated their opening match against the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali, chasing down a total of 162 with 14 balls still available. - AAP

The Saloon Mid Canterbury Championships were won by Christchurch’s Blair Leigh in fine conditions at Ashburton Speedway on Sunday.

In the other grades, Kris Jemmett was the quickest in Six Shooters, followed by Gene Spooner in second and Daryl Wright in third spot, while Chris

Dempsey took top honours in the Adult Ministocks and Willie Woodhouse was the best of the Production grade.

Ashburton Speedway presi-

dent Lance Maher said the event served as a good hit-out ahead of the Production and Ministock New Zealand titles event later this month.

Breakers welcome back Penney The Breakers are celebrating the return of a treasured son with veteran Kiwi basketball star Kirk Penney confirming he has signed a three year deal with the Auckland ANBL club.

In a major boost to their title ambitions, the 1.96m Penney has left the Illawarra Hawks to be reunited with a clutch of players he won the Breakers’ first title with in 2011.

But Penney, who has played at two Olympics, has yet to reveal if he will return to the Tall Backs, who play a Rio qualification tournament in the Philippines in July.

The 35-year-old – who has played around the world and became just the second New Zealander to appear in the glamour American NBA – was drawn back to his hometown team for family reasons and by the old friends who now lead the Breakers.

The Auckland-raised Penney was central to the Breakers’ first title when he averaged 20 points a game over the season, before he headed to Europe and pursued a series of short term deals.

His former national and club

team-mates Paul Henare, the Breakers’ new head coach who is also in charge of the Tall Blacks, and Dillon Boucher, who has taken over as general manager, were pivotal to his decision.

“They are old friends and good friends, we’ve been through a lot together,” said Penney, from his other home in Wisconsin.

“When you’ve played on the Tall Blacks and Breakers together as long as we have, you build a pretty strong bond and both those guys have had my back at times.

“For me to come and play with them is a pleasure, something I’m really excited about.

“And I certainly plan on playing some good basketball, not just limping over the line.”

The re-signing of Penney says something about the way the Breakers – this year’s beaten finalists – have operated.

The other players on the confirmed roster are Mika Vukona, Thomas Abercrombie, Alex Pledger and Corey Webster, who were all there in 2011 along with Henare and Boucher.

Kirk Penney: Original Breaker.

Penney, who played a handful of games for the Miami Heat and LA Clippers in the NBA over a decade ago, has seen the world since then, with a CV that includes teams in Spain, Israel, Lithuania, Germany and Turkey.

He deliberately sought out short term deals preferring a life experiencing different cultures.

Kirk and his wife Audra now have little Olivia, and the timing has proved perfect for a return home.

“I’ve maintained a great relationship with the club since I last played with them,” he said.

“When I first left, I thought I’d definitely come back but over the five years, there have been moments or two when I thought ‘no way’, this will probably have a different kind of finish.

“But when Pauly took the reins and Dillon came in, straight away there was some banter about how they wanted me to be part of it again.

The highs and lows will come ... you just try to be supportive of the players, encourage them, enjoy the winning and try to pick everyone else up when there are some losses.”

A delighted Henare said: “Kirk is one of the game’s premier scorers as was seen last season with a standout season for Illawarra.

“He has always been a player to look after himself and it is that professional attitude and work ethic that will be of huge benefit to us on court, but also in bringing leadership qualities off court.

“What’s more we have Kirk on a three-year deal that will enable him to see out his career back home and for us to build into the next chapter.”

Paris win ‘major focus’ Novak Djokovic’s quest for an elusive French Open title effectively kicks off in Monaco this week. The all conquering world number one starts his clay court season at the Monte Carlo Masters.

Roland Garros is the one Major title to so far elude the Serb, having finished runner-up the past two years. Djokovic says winning in Paris is his major focus again this year. He says it’s a wish and a goal and it’s how it’s going to stay and nothing major will change in his preparation.

Lancaster Super coach?

Stuart Lancaster still thinks of England’s World Cup failure “every minute of every day” and admits he would love for his next coaching job to be in the southern hemisphere. England’s former head coach resigned after the host team’s failure to go beyond the group stage in the World Cup, with Twickenham defeats to Wales and Australia inflicting the damage. “The lure of coaching Super Rugby and wanting to coach in the southern hemisphere is a big one for me. You can’t create opportunities and you certainly can’t create yourself a job but the southern hemisphere would be a tremendous challenge from a personal point of view and it would be a great, great opportunity.” - AP

Ashburton Guardian

In brief Guptill Warriors’ captain New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill has been named captain of Guyana’s Amazon Warriors for this year’s Caribbean Premier League.

Opener Guptill, ranked third in the world in T20 batting, is preparing for his fourth season in the CPL, and third with the Warriors, and is the franchise’s marquee player. The Aucklander enjoys a career average of 34.73 and strike rate of 131.44 from 61 games for New Zealand.

Guptill’s team-mates include young Australian legspinner Adam Zampa, Queensland hard hitter Chris Lynn and Pakistan left arm seamer Sohail Tanvir.

Day-nighters unpopular South Africa’s cricketers have taken a dim view of a proposed day-night test in Adelaide next summer and Australia may have to splash the cash to change their mind. Australia has unofficially slated daynight tests against South Africa in Adelaide and Pakistan in Brisbane next season but South Africa’s players remains deeply sceptical of the concept. Given South Africa has beaten Australia twice in test series in Australia in recent times the Proteas have much to live up to and are wary of being part of the day-night experiment. - AAP

Celtic will lock horns with United while Ashburton College face Hampstead and Methven take on Rakaia in the second round of premier grade netball at the EA Networks Centre Stadium tomorrow.

Last week’s action saw defending champions Methven pushed to the end by a defiant Hampstead.

Methven trailed by one goal at the end of the game’s first quarter, but quickly drew level at 9-9 after two minutes of the second period before taking a

16-14 lead in to halftime.

Methven coach Greta Currie then called upon Anita Den Baars for the second half, who steadied the ship in the mid-court, while goal attack Kimberly Gibson produced an accomplished performance with goal shoot Leanne Clemens to churn out the 31-26 win.

Methven will be favourites to add another victory to their tally against a Rakaia outfit that fell 32-20 to United last week, but Brans Surridge’s team showed plenty of grit throughout their opening match.

United also have the added incentive of relieving Celtic of the Premier Grade Challenge Cup they acquired last week.

In the opposite 6.30pm fixture on the Vetent Court, College will be gunning to bounce back from their opening night loss and will be boosted by the return of goal shooter Grace Wilson, defender Molly Stapleton and centre Meg Witterick.

The trio will offer plenty of pre-

mier grade experience to a side that featured five debutants last week.

Meanwhile, Hampstead coach Cindy Meadows will hope that the never-say-die attitude her players displayed against Methven will carry them to victory.

Tomorrow’s premier grade netball fixtures: Celtic Auric Energy A v United KFC A, ACL Court, 6.30pm.

Ashburton College Finesse Fitness A v Hampstead Hotel Ashburton A, Vetent Court, 6.30pm.

The NRL has no choice but to strip Parramatta of points if they are guilty of cheating the salary cap, insists NSW Origin captain Paul Gallen. Gallen is no stranger to controversy, having become the face of Cronulla’s supplements scandal, and while he said he feels for the players, he believes the Eels must be penalised. “It’s looking like they’re going to lose points and unfortunately that’s the way it’s got to be,” Gallen said. “I don’t feel sorry for them in that department, no one has felt sorry for us with what we went through.”

Injuries hurt Roosters The Sydney Roosters’ forward stocks have been further decimated with confirmation inform lock Sio Siua Taukeiaho will be out for up to six weeks with a knee injury. Taukeiaho suffered a medial ligament injury during the first half of the Roosters’ maiden win of the NRL season over South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Friday night. Already without injured representative duo Boyd Cordner and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Taukeiaho’s 4-6 week absence will further test the Roosters’ depth ahead of Monday’s game against Penrith.

F1 ‘learned a lesson’ Williams deputy team principal Claire Williams says Formula One learned a lesson from the qualifying fiasco that overshadowed the opening races of the season in Australia and Bahrain. “I think that we have learned that we need to take more time to consider the proposals that come to us,” she said at a breakfast meeting on Monday after her team published their annual results. “You don’t want to play out scenarios like that in the public arena. They should be done behind the scenes.

I do think that we’ve learned the lesson.”

■ RUGBY

SITUATIONS VACANT

Dagg set to face Jaguares

By Wynne Gray Remember Israel Dagg.

More importantly remember what he can do on a rugby field.

That safety under the high ball, his speed, massive boot and ability to work into the backline as a threat, assist or decoy runner.

The Crusaders hope Dagg will bring some of his old magic when he makes a belated return to Super rugby after eight months repairing a dislocated shoulder.

They’ve been through yes-no-maybe playing scenarios this season as the 27-year-old former All Black fullback worked his way through the obstacles-both mental and physical – guarding his return.

Dagg has played some club rugby and was on the bench for the Crusaders win against the Force in Perth and is being set for on the park on Friday against the visiting Jaguares.

The Crusaders are tracking strongly with five wins from six outings with the work of their pack laying the foundation for much of that success.

Out in the backs Nemani Nadolo is an ever-present threat but the rest of the attack falls into the steady basket rather than the explosive danger from the wing.

Israel Dagg: Back on Crusaders duty.

Rookie David Havili has made a strong showing at fullback until injury while recruit Ben Volavola has brought more varied form.

A fit and functioning Dagg brings an extra dimension.

However it will be a case of wait and see as the 49-test All Blacks fullback spluttered through the last few seasons as his confidence levels took a hit through injury.

■ NETBALL

Tactix the happiest team

By Dana Johansenn You know it’s been a strange weekend of ANZ Championship netball when the only Kiwi side pleased with the way things went is the Mainland Tactix.

The Canterbury side pulled off an unlikely draw against the Southern Steel – a team that has dealt the Tactix some of their heaviest defeats over the past couple of seasons.

While disappointed they didn’t take the full points from the match, having been in a position to snatch the win, the Tactix were delighted their efforts over the offseason are beginning to pay off on court.

One of the stars for the Tactix was zippy midcourter Nicola Mackle, who was named the match MVP. Mackle was identified as a teenager as a talent to watch, but the youngster missed the New Zealand under-21 side’s 2013 World Youth Cup campaign due to health problems.

If she can secure consistent court time, Mackle could well be in the reckoning for more national squads down the track.

The Steel were filthy on themselves for blowing an opportunity to record back-toback wins, but with the only other round one winner, the Pulse, suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of the Queensland Firebirds, the Southern franchise still lead the way in the New Zealand conference.

The Pulse weren’t the only side to stumble across the Tasman, with the injury-depleted Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic suffering their heaviest defeat in the franchise’s history in their 78-50 loss to the Swifts.

Birthday Greetings Tactix shooter Bailey Mes. The Mystics matched, and at times outshone, the Fever for three-quarters of their clash in Auckland only to capitulate in the final spell, crashing to a 54-44 loss.

Teenage star Holly Fowler was one of the few bright spots for the Mystics in their 10goal loss to the Fever.

Fowler, matching up on Australian Diamonds shooter Natalie Medhurst, upstaged her experienced opponent, limiting the typically dominant play-maker’s influence on the match. Medhurst’s haul of 14 goals was low, but not unusually so with Caitlin Bassett the team’s key shooter.

But it was Medhurst’s tally of just seven goal assists that tells the story of Fowler’s impact, with the 18-year-old able to shut down the interplay between Bassett and Medhurst, through her speed off the mark and quick reflexes.

www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re always nice to those older, younger or weaker than you in any way.

The kindness you dole out today will make a bigger difference in someone’s life than you might guess.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Unnecessary purchases masquerade as necessary ones. Go without and see what happens. Later you’ll have the money to invest in something that will bring real richness.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Are sensual cravings a gift or an enticement toward a lesser version of the self? It is not easy to manage the want for delight against the need for spiritual evolution, but you’ll achieve a good balance today.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve a talent for getting to the source of the problem. When you speak to the core of a situation, confusing and unpleasant symptoms disappear.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Happiness leaves no scar.

If only it did! There is so much joy to be had in recollection. Take a souvenir from today’s happy experience. This sweetness must be remembered!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The extra time and effort you put into your look is not something you do out of vanity; rather, it’s in the spirit of altruism.

Whatever you can do to make yourself a source of delight is a gift that you bring to the world.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Why struggle against worldly ambitions? Accept that some of the things you want don’t seem like a spiritual ideal, but this is where you’re at now. What’s to be learned from it?

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you’re not sure if you should chime in or not, consider the very important role of silence. See if some well-spaced pauses might further your purposes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve the courage to try for your exciting goal; then again, a lot of people have that much courage. Do you also have the courage to try again? And then another time? That’s the rare courage it will take to succeed.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): While doing work you love, you’re compelled to put time and thought into each step. This is why you’ll wind up in a different place to others who started out on this project.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When good friends want to spend time with you, they won’t care about the details that go with it. The environment, food and entertainment involved doesn’t matter much, so don’t stress over it. What they want is you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If you’re comparing yourself to another (not advised, but hey, it happens) at least be fair enough not to measure the other person’s best result next to your work in progress.

Participation levels in social netball have almost trebled in Mid Canterbury since 2014.

Social netball booming

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

While most sports struggle for numbers in social grades, local social netball participation levels have risen at a rapid rate in recent years.

In 2014, the social grade included six teams, which leapt to 12 teams 12 months later, before increasing to 17 teams this year.

The influx of players has led

Mid Canterbury Netball to restructure the grade into a social league, which hosts six teams, and a social/competitive division for the remaining 11.

After a round robin stage, the social/competitive grade will separate into two leagues, based on the teams’ abilities.

With the grade expected to continue to grow, Mid Canterbury Netball president Karla

Newlands believes a number of factors have contributed to its progress.

“There are a number of reasons I believe social netball has grown since moving indoors, first the move to a week night – players are enjoying having their weekends free,” she said.

“It has also enabled mothers of children involved in Saturday sport to still be able to play, as

they now don’t miss their children’s sport.”

Newlands also credited the surface at the EA Networks Centre Stadium for prolonging careers and reducing the impact netball has on players’ joints.

“The wooden spring floor is much kinder to bodies than playing on concrete, therefore, when players who have played for a number of years would normally

retire, they are now choosing to stay in the sport,” she said.

“Playing indoors is also another factor as there is no weather to deal with, guaranteed to have games each week and a different style of netball is played.”

With more and more players keen to take to the courts, who would bet against two dozen social sides competing on hardwood next season.

The experienced Forbes brought

up 79 tournament appearances at Hong Kong at the weekend, which equals the world series record, and is to return as part of a longterm conditioning plan to ensure he is in the best possible shape to

be in contention for the New Zealand Olympic sevens team.

New Zealand, hit badly by injuries, finished runners-up to Fiji in Hong Kong.

Pita Ahki (shoulder), Sam Dick-

son (leg), Tim Mikkelson (ankle), and Lewis Ormond (foot) are also returning to New Zealand.

They will be replaced by Antonio Kiri Kiri, Josh van Leishout and Isaac Te Aute.

New Zealand remain second in the series, one point ahead of South Africa and five points behind leaders, Fiji, with three tournaments left in the season; Singapore, Paris and London. - NZME
