IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

The youth crime wave will be the focus of a public meeting attended by Ministry of Justice officials in Ashburton next week.

For the past 18 months police, security officers and residents have been dealing with escalating levels of youth offending, primarily centred on a particular group of teenagers as young as 13, who have been breaking into businesses, homes and vehicles.

More recently members of the group have been sporting red colours in imitation of outlaw gangs and their anti-social behaviour has ramped up. They have been implicated in brawls and public intimidation.

Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew said the matter had come to the attention of the Justice Ministry this week. Associate Justice Minister Mark Mitchell, whose dele-

gation is to review the Youth Action Plan, has been taking part in meetings focused on youth offending around the country.

Goodhew spoke to Mitchell yesterday morning to flag current concerns within the Ashburton community.

“He and I had a conversation about whether it would be useful to allow the people of Ashburton to talk about what’s been happening in that space,” she said.

As a result a public meeting is planned to take place at the Hotel Ashburton on Thursday, starting at 1pm.

“He (Mitchell) will be accompanied by other government officials who need to hear what’s been going on as well,” Goodhew said.

The meeting will be open to all, however Goodhew particularly wants those people who have responded online to news stories about youth offending and to Dean Talbot’s letter to Parliament, recently printed in the Guardian, to take

the opportunity to make their voices heard.

Business owners are also encouraged to attend and Goodhew anticipates police involvement.

“I think this is the right place to vent about it so a minister who is part of the wider justice minister’s team can hear it and factor in what’s happening in Ashburton into Government thinking,” she said.

Goodhew has also written to Principal Youth Court Judge John Walker, to ask him to look over the examples of public commentary on youth offending in the district.

Labour police spokesperson Stuart Nash will also be in Ashburton on Thursday (April 20). Nash and Labour candidate for Rangitata Jo Luxton will host a meeting from 7pm at the MSA Card Room on Havelock Street, where youth offending is expected to come up.

Council targeting stray cats

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A trapping campaign targeting stray and feral cats on councilowned property is under way in Allenton.

Ashburton District Council’s commercial manager Colin Windleborn said residents in the vicinity of Elizabeth Place were notified of the project last week and trapping began on Monday, after council became aware of a cat and a litter of kittens which appeared to have been dumped in the vicinity.

The focus was on these diseased stray and feral cats which had been causing problems for residents in council-owned elderly persons housing.

Any cat deemed to be a pet will be released on the spot. Cats inadvertently caught and found to be in good health will be returned to the area where they were caught with a collar carrying the council’s contact details.

Residents are asked to notify

council if their pet cat is found to be wearing one of these collars so it can be struck off as a stray.

Stray cats will be examined by a vet and where possible, de-sexed and rehomed at the council’s cost, Windleborn said.

A similar trapping programme was carried out in Friendship Lane recently, where cats had also been dumped. About 15 stray cats, many with mange and diseases, were causing problems in the area.

“They attack residents’ cats, one died on an elderly woman’s bed and a person got an infection from a scratch,” Windleborn said.

“We have a responsibility as a landlord to protect tenants, especially in elderly housing, who often have compromised immunity, from stray cats – which can carry all sorts of diseases.”

Four cats had been removed from the Elizabeth Place housing units as of yesterday, and the trapping campaign is expected to continue for another week or so.

Easter buns to fore at Sims

By JaiMe Pitt-MacKay JaiMe.p@theguardian.co.nz

Local baker Manny Sim knows his dough, and in the build-up to Easter weekend, his bakery has turned out hot cross buns by their hundreds.

“For the past eight weeks we have been producing 50 dozen a day, we baked 100 dozen on Wednesday and will be baking 150 dozen today,” he said.

“In total we will produce roughly 1250 dozen, which is a lot of buns.”

Having produced hot cross buns for as long as he has been baking, he says, a simple recipe is the key.

“We only do the one flavour, we have the spice mix and sultanas,” he said.

“We haven’t messed around with the ones with chocolate or no fruit, just simple for us.”

Sim said that this year they would be returning to the original spice-mix after one they changed to a few years ago “wasn’t just the same”.

Playcentre gets into Easter spirit Rakaia Playcentre students have been getting in to the Easter spirit, and are not letting inclement weather dampen their fun. The students have been engaging in a week of Easterbased activities such as decorating themed cards, decorating eggs and creating bunny ears to wear. The main event of the Easter celebrations comes in the form of an Easter egg hunt, normally held at a house. Due to poor weather this year, the playcentre was forced to cancel the hunt, but the children still received their eggs. “They absolutely love it and really get in to the spirit,” said one staff member.

■ METHVEN

Rising rivers threaten stockwater With river levels set to rise over the next few days the Ashburton District Council is warning rural Methven residents that their stockwater supply may be unavailable this week.

Rising river levels from ongoing rainfall are likely to disrupt stockwater intakes that channel river water into the Pudding Hill, Methven Auxiliary and Bushside stockwater intakes.

Affected residents could be without their stockwater supply until the beginning of next week, council assets manager

Andrew Guthrie said.

“At this stage, the stockwater intakes are still working, but if the rivers continue to rise and it starts washing the channelling systems away, there won’t be enough water entering the stockwater intakes. If this happens, council will start rebuilding these systems as soon as river levels have dropped sufficiently for work to begin, however this can be a number of days after the event,” he said.

The stockwater intakes are built along river banks to take

SALE ANNUALANNUAL SALE on now on ANNUAL now SALE

water out of the river and direct it down stockwater races. Material in the riverbed is bulldozed to form shingle banks that channel some of the river water into the stockwater intakes but flooding in the river can wash those shingle banks away, leaving the stockwater intakes unable to adequately draw water, Guthrie said.

He’s advising users who are reliant on the open race network consider having alternate water supplies available, should the flooding affect the intakes.

Community groups spread Easter cheer

Soggy Easter

By Megan gnad

megan.g@theguardian.co.nz

The Lions Club of Ashburton County and Presbyterian Support have been spreading Easter cheer this week with the delivery of 40 festive baskets.

The joint project will see donations – collected and packaged on Monday night by the Lions – distributed by Presbyterian Support to their clients before the weekend.

This is the third year they have delivered the baskets, which they hope will create some fun and excitement for families as they lead into Easter.

Presbyterian Support community family worker Su Hutchinson said a lot of “love and care” had gone into the final products.

“It’s my first year, so I’m really excited to see the reaction,” she said.

“They’ll be absolutely delighted.”

All items have been donated by Lions members, with the packs including both icing and chocolate eggs, a family card game and added treats.

“It’s really great community support – we’re really lucky in Ashburton,” Hutchinson said.

Mid Canterbury is in for a soggy start to Easter as a slow moving low is followed by Cyclone Cook bearing down on New Zealand.

The MetService has issued a Severe Weather Watch for many areas of the country including the Canterbury Plains, for heavy rain and gale force winds.

The watch, which may later be upgraded to a warning, is for a slow moving low causing heavy rain, and in addition Cyclone Cook making landfall somewhere over the Coromandel Peninsula or western Bay of Plenty late today.

Rain could reach warning levels on the Canterbury Plains including Christchurch and Banks Peninsula from tonight to tomorrow morning.

In addition, winds may reach severe gale on the Canterbury Plains including Christchurch and Banks Peninsula for the same period.

Mid Canterbury has already received high rainfall for April so far. As of 3.30pm yesterday 83.2 millimetres had been measured this month at the Ashburton airport MetService weather station. This compares to an average for the whole month of about 61 millimetres.

The April record for the town, since 1909, is 224 millimetres, which happened in 1968.

Bat basher jailed for eight years An Ashburton agricultural contractor who bashed his heavilypregnant ex-partner with a baseball bat until it snapped has been jailed for more than eight years.

Christopher James Buick, known as Chris, appeared before Judge Stephen O’Driscoll in the Christchurch District Court yesterday for sentencing on a charge of wounding with intent to cause previous bodily harm.

The court was told Buick, who was seeing another Ashburton woman, became enraged that the victim, wanted to keep their baby and launched the “frenzied attack” with a baseball bat in Christchurch earlier this year.

The brutal assault, where Buick aimed blows at the woman’s stomach, only stopped when the victim, then 23 weeks pregnant, lay

on the ground and pretended to be dead.

It left her with a fractured skull, severe facial bruising and lacerations, and a broken eye socket. The unborn baby escaped uninjured.

Yesterday, the victim told Christchurch District Court the horrors of the savage assault and the long-lasting impact it will have on her life.

“I will always believe Chris intended to kill me,” she said in a victim impact statement read to the court.

“And the way he left without checking on me, he thought he had succeeded.”

The woman managed to protect the baby with her body and there have been no serious impacts on the baby, the court heard.

However, the victim now lives

in terror of him returning and although she is receiving psychological support, she believes the effects will be long-lasting.

“I’ll be afraid of him for the rest of my life,” she said.

A pre-sentence report noted that Buick’s remorse was “very self-centred”, thinking of the impacts on his own life rather than the victim and her baby.

Ashburton farm contractor Buick, 32, and the victim had been long-term friends and in an onand-off relationship.

When she became pregnant with their first child, Buick didn’t want her to keep the baby as he was seeing another Ashburton woman.

Late on the night of February 4, the victim texted Buick asking if he could visit her to discuss the baby.

They arranged a time and Buick arrived at her Christchurch home at about 1.30am armed with the baseball bat.

As soon as she opened her front door, Buick raised the bat above his head, and smashed it down across her head.

Buick hit her until the bat snapped in half then kicked her in the head and body until she laid on the ground on her stomach “pretending to be dead”.

Police say that Buick then fled the home without checking on the woman’s condition.

Defence counsel Craig Ruane said Buick was known as a “hard working and well respected young man” who has no previous convictions.

A series of references provided to the court all suggest Buick’s be-

haviour had been “entirely out of character”. He still can’t explain how he thought his actions that night would solve his problems, Ruane said.

As Buick sobbed in the dock, Judge Stephen O’Driscoll described the victim as “a courageous person” who tried to protect both herself and her unborn child during the attack.

He found several aggravating factors including Buick’s premeditation and use of extreme violence and a weapon, carried out on a vulnerable victim, in the safety of her own home.

“The violence, in my view is extreme. It was gratuitous, it was brutal and it was callous,” Judge O’Driscoll said in coming to a sentence in imprisonment of eight years, three months.

Plum the nine-year-old black Labrador loves making new friends. She would prefer that they check with her owner Nina Field before rushing up to pat her though.

The well-behaved Plum was an ideal dog for preschoolers from Stepping Stones to practice some basic rules about being around dogs yesterday. The animal safety discussion was part of activities organised for Canterbury Rural Women Week.

The preschoolers were coached

by Field, a veterinarian and owner of two dogs, about how to approach a dog, ask its owner if they could pat it and then offer the back of their hand for the dog to sniff. Dogs on their own were best left alone, she said.

Plum, rewarded with doggie treats and a pig’s ear for her starring role, was taken in by Field and her family when she needed veterinary attention for a broken leg eight years ago.

The preschoolers all had a chance to introduce themselves to her and practice their skills.

Canterbury Rural Women week finishes today with a walk around Methven.

$12.5m COGS funding Yesterday marked the opening of the annual Community Organisation Grants Scheme (COGS), signifying the availability of $12.5 million of grant funding.

Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Alfred Ngaro said the COGS funding was unique in that it’s decided on and distributed by local distribution committees. The 37 local COGS committees will make decisions on what projects, events and organisations will receive funding by July 28 at the latest. More information can be found on www.communitymatters. govt.nz or 0800 824 824.

■ EASTER HEALTH SERVICES

Your GP first port of call Ashburton residents are encouraged to make their GP team their first port of call this long Easter weekend.

Ashburton Health Services manager, Bernice Marra, said people will receive care around the clock during the public holidays, just as they do any other time of the year.

“Unless it’s an emergency, when you should call 111, always make your general practice team your first call 24/7 when you, or someone in your family is sick,” she said.

“If it’s after hours, or your

Bernice Marra general practice is closed, you’ll be able to speak to a nurse who will give you free

health advice.” Marra said the nurse can advise what to do and where to go, if you need urgent care.

“Just phone your usual general practice number and you’ll get care around the clock,” she said.

If you are not enrolled with a general practice, you can call any general practice number after hours for free advice.

Dr Graham Ritchie, from Tinwald Medical Centre, says now is the time to be proactive about your health.

late or things can spiral out of control,” Dr Ritchie says.

“Public holidays or not, it’s always important to be proactive about your health and keep on top of any health concerns before they turn serious.”

Jane Brosnahan, Ashburton Hospital Director of Nursing, agreed, saying it is wise to plan ahead to sort out non-urgent health concerns prior to a long weekend.

“After-hours resources can be stretched if demand is high and this can result in longer waits,” she said.

Educating on how to learn

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Teachers at Longbeach and Wakanui Schools have been working to gain a greater understanding of deeper learning, thanks to the help of internationally-renowned educator, Lane Clark.

Her approach to learning is founded on teaching students how to learn, how to think and how to use new technologies to enhance their learning From Canada, Clark has taught in 18 countries, over five continents, and first visited New Zealand in 1994.

Longbeach School principal Neil Simons said that previously the school was not happy with the depth of learning the students were receiving with the programme at the time.

“After some research, and hearing of Lane’s work, we went to a workshop in April last year,” he said.

“We attended a two-day course in the Term 3 holidays and decided that bringing her to the school, along with Wakanui would be the best option.”

Despite only being in the early stages of what Simons describes as a ‘long journey’, he believes there has already been notable change at the school.

“We are already noticing the students using deeper thinking in the classroom and are analysing their work a lot more,” he said.

Clark said some of the things they are focusing on was enabling the students to be able to focus on deep knowledge and to have independence and be able to selfregulate.

“If we can enable and empower them by the time they leave, it’s embedded and is a toolbox and set of skills that they can then take for life,” she said.

Out of all the countries Clark has taught in, she said she believes that New Zealand teachers are some of the most diligent and committed when it comes to professional development.

“I’ve seen it since 1994 that they are committed to being lifelong learners, which can only help the students,” she said.

Lane Clark (above) worked with teachers from Longbeach and Wakanui Schools on Monday to help their understanding of educating with deeper and more analytical thought.

■ GERMANY

Explosive blasts hit bus Three explosions have gone off near the team bus of Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany’s top soccer clubs, as it set off for a Champions League quarterfinal match, injuring one of the players.

Police said they were working on the assumption that the blasts were directed at the Dortmund team and caused by “serious explosive devices”, which may have been hidden in a hedge near a car park.

The explosions happened as the team was departing its hotel for a first-leg match against Monaco. The game was called off shortly before kick-off and rescheduled.

A letter claiming responsibility was found near the site of the blasts, prosecutor Sandra Luecke told a late evening news conference. She said investigators are examining the authenticity of what was written in the letter, but wouldn’t reveal more about its contents, citing the ongoing investigation.

The case is being investigated as attempted homicide, Luecke said.

“We had to assume, and assumed right from the start, that this was a targeted attack against the team of Borussia Dortmund,” Dortmund Police

Conviction finally overturned after 5 years After spending five years in jail for killing a 21-year-old man, a cognitively impaired Aboriginal man will walk free from jail later today after his conviction was overturned in Western Australia.

Prosecutors had to drop a murder charge after police interviews proved to be flawed and accepted Mr Gibson’s guilty plea to manslaughter but that’s now been overturned on the grounds he did not have the cognitive and language ability to understand what was happening in court.

Boko Haram children used as bombers Radical Islamic militants from Boko Haram are increasingly forcing children to carry out bombings, with the number of attacks since January already nearly reaching the total for all of last year, according to a report released yesterday.

UNICEF says at least 117 attacks have been carried out by youth since 2014, with nearly 80 per cent of the bombs strapped to girls, who were sometimes drugged before their missions.

Nude photos of Miley Cyrus have seemingly been hacked and leaked online. The naked pictures were posted on the website Celeb Jihad, which has a history of publishing private nude photos of celebrities. A few of the pictures feature the singer undressed in a sauna, while another image shows her wearing overalls while topless. There are also a handful of other photos of Cyrus in skimpy outfits. Although the singer has wilfully exposed herself in the past, and in photo shoots, this new crop of material appears to be stolen from her private collection.

The very sight of children near marketplaces and checkpoints is sparking fear, according to Marie-Pierre Poirier, UNICEF’s regional director for West and Central Africa. As a result, nearly 1,500 children were detained last year across Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

“These children are victims, not perpetrators,” Poirier said.

“Forcing or deceiving them into committing such horrific acts is reprehensible.”

OUR VIEW

Death – we need to discuss it Megan Gnad

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

I

t’s not something we necessarily want to spend time discussing, but funeral directors across the country are urging us to start talking about final farewells.

This week is the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ) awareness week and the theme is Take the Time to Talk which encourages people to spend time sharing their life stories and discussing preferences.

The thing is, while it may seem slightly grim to think about planning such things, it’s funeral directors who see, day in and out, the difficulty families face when hit with major decisions that are compounded by grief.

They witness the struggle and conflicting calls they are forced to make, often unsure of final wishes and what their loved ones would have wanted.

While many refuse to discuss the issue, on the flip side directors are also noticing an increase in people actively pre-planning and pre-paying for funerals, determined to ensure their wishes are met.

It’s certainly a tough call for families to discuss, but the awareness week hopes to highlight the need to have meaningful conversations and it’s a good opportunity to share memories.

The FDANZ says a good place to start the discussion is by asking: ■ What story do you remember most about your parents?

■ What’s your happiest childhood memory?

■ What was your first car and how much did you pay for it?

■ Who was your first love and how did it happen?

■ Can you think of a mentor you had who helped shape your thinking?

■ What did you do for a living and what lessons did your work life teach you?

■ Can you think of an incident that made you laugh until you cried?

■ What were your favourite games as a child?

They also advise people to start the conversation themselves, rather than leaving it up to someone else.

When Paterson’s Funeral Services manager Barry Hayman held a presentation about the issue on Tuesday afternoon, he emphasised just how difficult it can be for families thrown into making sudden decisions and all the trauma that goes along with it.

In fact, it’s something they witness too often.

It may not be a pleasant conversation, but maybe it’s time to start talking.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

P

ower to the people! Ashburton residents have spoken out loud and clear over their concerns about rising youth crime rates in the community, and as a result, a public meeting has been announced.

This week the Guardian asked Facebook users for ideas on how best to deal with the problem. Overwhelmingly responders wanted stiffer consequences for young offenders and suggested a range of community work and restorative justice-type scenarios.

Facebook users also asked for the problem to be addressed in a public forum.

Our poll this week asked readers whether they feel safe in the community, and an astounding 80 per cent of respondents said they did not under the current circumstances.

ROLLING POLL

TOP FACEBOOK COMMENTS Christine I agree with Dean Talbot that we, as concerned community members, can support our local Police by writing to our local MP also to voice our frustration with the lack of consequences being put in place by youth court judges. The current situation that has the youth offenders thumbing their nose at any form of authority has to change!

Tracy I say getting them into some kind of army training, territorial or something along those lines. Or as a punishment get them to do community work where they mow lawns and dig people’s gardens. Also getting them to see the kind of damage they are doing to the victims and how they would feel if it were them. It is a resoect thing, start to respect themselves and treat others how they want to be treated...

This week’s question Q: Escalating youth crime is concerning Ashburton residents.

Do you feel safe in our community?

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Yes 20%

Shane Problem is youth offenders have no consequences so they get away with whatever they do, it needs to change, so the people making the laws (elected government) need to sort policy. Good on you Talbot grout for doing your best

Savann Yes completely agree with this not only can it be good in learning decipline & respect but it could also lead to better career options later on as there are many fields within the army you can gain qualifications for.

No 44.62%

Not after dark 35.38%

Sandra I commend Dean Talbot for taking a stand with this letter and telling it like it is, good on you, its well past time that something more proactive was done to stop this behaviour....

TeamTalk sale to Vodafone backed sell Stanners told TeamTalk shareholders the acquisition would let his company “move further into the rural market” which Vodafone has been increasing its exposure to over the past five or six years.

Miller said a partnership with Vodafone would help lower the cost of putting 15 per cent of its Wellington fibre network underground when the city’s overhead trolley bus wires are removed.

He was also optimistic about TeamTalk’s mobile radio business which had seen higher demand as a result of health and safety legislation and emergency responses needing greater and more immediate coverage than cellular, which spans 55 per cent of New Zealand’s geography.

When questioned about the longevity of TeamTalk’s board, Sowry said the company’s directors were reviewing their governance arrangements and will make an announcement in the next couple of months.

TeamTalk shares were unchanged at 80 cents, while Spark shares rose 1.1 per cent to $3.54.

per cent, and Canterbury, down 3.5 per cent.

Guest nights fell for three of four accommodation types in February. Hotels dropped 0.8 per cent, motels fell 2.2 per cent, and backpackers slid 0.1 per cent. Holiday parks bucked the trend, up 2.5 per cent.

The total available capacity for short-term commercial accommodation fell 0.4 per cent in February, with all four accommodation types registering declines.

The occupancy rate increased for all four accommodation types, with hotels up 0.9 per cent to a record 81.2 percent. Motels gained 2.2 percentage points to 77.5 per cent, backpackers rose 2.4 percentage points to 59.4 per cent, and holiday parks increased 2.3 percentage points to 29.6 per cent.

NZ income tax rate second lowest New Zealand workers pay the second smallest portion of their income to the government among developed nations and less than half the average ratio of their Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development peers.

The OECD’s 2017 Taxing Wages report shows New Zealand’s average tax wedge – a percentage of the total tax on wages paid by employees and employers minus family benefits – was 17.9 per cent last year, second only to Chile’s 7 per cent across the 35 developed nations and less than half the 36 per cent average.

Neighbour Australia was the fifth lowest, while Belgium’s workers paid the biggest share of

their income to the government at 54 per cent.

New Zealand’s tax wedge edged up 0.3 of a percentage point, whereas the OECD average dipped almost 0.1 of a percentage point, extending a three-year run where tax reform in developed economies has been lowering income tax.

The OECD report shows New Zealand’s tax wedge was the lowest among developed countries for one-earner families with two children at 6.2 per cent, pipping Chile’s 7 per cent rate and almost a quarter of the 26.6 per cent OECD average.

That was despite New Zealand reporting the biggest increase in the tax wedge for that group, ris-

ing 1.2 percentage points.

The report showed New Zealand one-income families with two children at two-thirds of the average wage had a -13 per cent tax wedge as a result of tax credits, behind Canada and Ireland at -28.7 per cent and -31.4 per cent respectively.

New Zealand’s single earners at 167 per cent of the average wage with no children faced a 23.6 per cent tax wedge, below the OECD average of 30.8 per cent and the sixth lowest among the developed nations.

The OECD report used a forward-looking approach to measure New Zealand’s tax wedge because of the March tax year - NZME

during the peak summer months of December through February amid concerns the country’s infrastructure is reaching capacity.

The latest data shows guest nights in the North Island advanced 1 per cent, while South Island guest nights declined 2.2 per cent.

Stats NZ noted that falls in the South Island and Canterbury were impacted by fewer stays in Kaikoura, where guest nights were down 51 per cent following the impact of the November earthquakes.

Overall, guest nights were higher in half of the 12 regional areas in February compared with the year earlier month. Northland recorded the biggest gain, with a 10.5 per cent increase, while the biggest falls were in Wellington and the West Coast, both down 5.5

National guest nights fell in February, bucking eight straight months of growth, as a slide in domestic stays offset growth from international guests.

Total guest nights dropped 0.4 per cent to 3.9 million in February compared with the same month a year earlier, Statistics New Zealand said. Domestic guest nights fell 1.6 per cent to 1.986 million while international guest nights advanced 0.8 per cent to 1.963 million, the agency said. It noted that last February had an extra day of trading as 2016 was a leap year.

New Zealand’s accommodation sector has been on a tear, with February’s decline only the fourth recorded for any month over the past four years. The government’s tourism marketing body Tourism New Zealand has stopped advertising the country as a destination

TeamTalk shareholders overwhelmingly back a deal to sell a controlling stake in rural broadband unit Farmside to Vodafone New Zealand, effectively rejecting a takeover by Spark New Zealand.

Wellington-based TeamTalk asked shareholders to approve a deal where Vodafone would pay $10 million for a 70 per cent stake in Farmside, with an option to buy the remaining 30 per cent holding for $3 million, valuing the unit at a premium to independent adviser Grant Samuel’s view.

More than 40 people attended a special meeting, where TeamTalk chairman Roger Sowry and chief executive Andrew Miller put forward the case in favour of the deal, which would reduce the company’s debt to a more manageable level faster than anticipated and enable an earlier return to dividend payments, and fielded a dozen or so questions from the floor.

Approving the transaction

meant Spark’s 80 cents per share takeover bid, valuing TeamTalk at $22.7 million, was defeated, with the country’s biggest telecommunications company having warned the offer would lapse if the resolution was passed.

Spark has since confirmed the offer has lapsed in a statement to the NZX. Spark’s offer was rejected by TeamTalk’s board as being too low and opportunistic and the companies traded barbs over Grant Samuel’s independent valuation of $1.52 to $2.11 a share for the smaller firm.

Sowry acknowledged that the board made the wrong call to buy Farmside in 2012 for $31 million in cash and scrip and had “taken the hit on the balance sheet for the last two years”.

However, he was more optimistic about the future partnership with Vodafone, saying “we can actually turn this company around” and that the transaction “supported the directors’ view that the value of TeamTalk shares is at the higher end of that range”.

Practice makes perfect

2016

Ashburton man Maurice Millar loved ploughing when he was a farmer but the light soils of his Ealing farm didn’t lend themselves to perfect furrows.

The soil of his retirement block on Smithfield Road is much heavier and much more satisfying. It is also proving the ideal practice plot for Millar as he prepares for the national vintage ploughing championships in Kirwee later this month.

Millar, Rakaia ploughman Gordon Carter and Temuka ploughman Bruce Cameron will represent Canterbury in the vintage nationals that will run alongside the national Silver Plough championships on April 22 and 23.

Millar will be using his trusty 1922 plough for the occasion, pulling it with a 1947 John Deere. The equipment must all be manufactured before 1956.

He said the John Deere was able to run in a slower gear and therefore give him more time to make adjustments to the plough as he was moving.

Millar was getting some top tips from Ashburton’s Alan Begg last week. The top

ploughman will be a judge at the nationals and was helping Millar fine-tune his technique.

Ploughmen and women in the national and vintage competition will each plough grass and stubble plots, with points awarded for straight furrows and turning under crop residue.

Begg said it had been a while since all competitors had qualified for the event, so practice in the lead-up was important.

The vintage competition will include ploughmen from around the country, who will transport their tractors and ploughs to Kirwee.

“If I can plough as well in the final as I have been in practice, I will be happy,” Millar said.

Former world champion Bruce Redmond is this year president of the New Zealand Ploughing Association and will oversee the Kirwee event. Simon Reed and Tryphena Carter from Rakaia will be in the Silver Plough field.

Winners of the national conventional and reversible titles will represent New Zealand at the world championships in Germany next year.

Club news 12

Ashburton Guardian

Allenton Croquet Club At our last meeting it was reported that although it had been a frustrating Croquet season weather wise all club competitions were completed in reasonable time.

The South Canterbury inter club tournament was completed on a cold day. Lois Alexander was selected for the South Canterbury Team to compete in the South Island teams event held at Waireka on Saturday.

Our Easter Raffle was successful.

A reminder our Annual General Meeting is on May 4.

Remember to make up a team for our Annual Quiz night on Friday May 5 at 7.30pm at the Allenton Sports Club, Cavendish Street. Teams of 4-6, $5.00 per person.

Congratulations to Maurice Sunbeam whose bisquing has reduced to 18.

The Croquet season closed on Saturday.

We joined the Allenton Sports Club for presentation of trophies and a finger food tea.

Ashburton Electronic Organ and Keyboard The hall was packed for our April club night, brought forward because of Easter.

It was the Timaru club’s turn to visit us this year, and I believe we gave them an evening of varied and enjoyable music.

Our club has morphed somewhat from the original electronic, then to both organ and keyboard, and now boasts several music groups that bring versatile and enjoyable evenings to our club nights, and these groups gave their all.

Ann and Karen were our only two soloists, and they didn’t disappoint.

The keyboard group played us in. I was included in that lot, and it sounded good to me.

The skiffle group started the evening off.

This is a new group that has just been formed and consists of ukeleles, double bass (tea chest) accordion, lager phone, shakers, tambourine, and vocals.

Sorry you couldn’t make it Peter.

Peter loans us all the percussion as well as his ample garage for our practice mornings, and he is unwell and couldn’t make it. Karen then played three lovely pieces, and believe me, she never disappoints.

Audrey (on piano) and her four guys are a dedicated group that meet every week, and they sing the most memorable songs.

I don’t know where Audrey finds them, but gee there’s some nice songs around.

Lorraine, as well as acting as our competent MC, gave us a couple of amusing monologues, “The ballad of William Bloat” and “The biggest aspridistra in the world”.

Michael and Bernard then played a Kawai organ each. The club has one, and Michael owns the other. This is a first for our evenings, and worth bringing the two together for.

Then our singing group (15 strong) lovely selection. You guys sound sooo good.

Ann then on piano (I love listening to Ann play) one of her pieces, “thank you for the music” is an Abba favourite of mine and appropriate for the evening I think.

Our accordion group never fails to please.

I love it. Their selection was sing-a-long and toe- tappy. They stayed up there for a communal sing along, which brought our evening to a close.

Thursday, April 13, 2017 Not too late for our visitors, and time for a lovely supper and a chat.

I’m sure our Timaru cousins journeyed home with our music still ringing in their ears and a few raffles to boot.

Ashburton Harriers On Saturday April 8, 2017 the Ashburton Harriers held the annual Turkey Trot 3km run/walk handicap race which was held around Argyle Park. 15 runners and 15 walkers wrote down their own estimated time they thought they would complete the 3km with the member whose actual time was closest to their estimated time being the overall winner.

Three runners tied for first place Nicole Jackson, Ian Broadbelt and Claire Marshall all being only 1 second out on their estimated, second Steve Mealings 5 seconds difference and third Bernie Jopson 9 seconds difference.

Also competing for the runners were J. McKenzie, T. McKenzie, A. Spooner, E. Skinner, R Sara, P. Crozier, A. Skinner, D. Skinner, G. Whiting and M. O’Callaghan.

Times closest to the predicted time for the walkers were 1st Barbara Taylor, with a difference of nine seconds, second equal Andrea Ritchie and Tania Hooper difference 11 seconds and 3rd Patrice Ansell, difference 27 seconds.

Also competing were J. Crozier, J. Gilbert, L. Rusbatch, B. Hood, J. Hood, P. Severins, P. Larkin, C. Phillip, J. Hood, V. Strong and M. McGrath.

The winners received a turkey prize which were kindly donated by Phil and Judith Crozier.

Many thanks to our timekeepers.

Ashburton U3A A presentation on the glaciation of Mid Canterbury drew an audience of 80 to the Ashburton U3A (University of the Third Age) to hear the address given by one of New Zealand’s leading geomorphologists on Tuesday April 4th.

An ex-student of Ashburton College, David Barrell works out of the Dunedin office as a geoscientist for GNS Science.

Amongst other topics, his research involves earthquake science, engineering geology, geomorphology and field mapping.

David was welcomed by Glenn Vallender, one of his former teachers.

David provided his audience with an illustrated, fascinating and up to date talk on the geological history of NZ and details of the glacial landforms of central South Island including our own back yard of Mt Somers and the Ashburton Lakes areas.

The audience learnt about the role of plate tectonics in the formation of our continent Zealandia, of which our country as we know it today, forms only 5 per cent of the otherwise submerged area

which was roughly one third the size of Australia.

The Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate were and are responsible for the lifting of the land up from the continent of Zealandia which was formed at a margin of some 300-100 million years ago.

Some 80 million years ago Gondwana started to break up which lead to the eventual disconnection from Australia and Antartica. At that time the climate was warm with no ocean surrounds. The Southern Ocean started to form 65-55 million years ago and the climate cooled, glaciers formed, ice formed in Antartica and the mountains continued their uplift.

The typical rock types such as greywacke which forms the foundation of Ashburton and cover rocks of limestone, and the current ideas on causes of glaciations are still being studied.

We learnt that at 6.50C lower than today, glaciers were filling the high-country valleys and spilling out onto the foothills of Mt Somers and Mt Hutt.

We had the opportunity to view large scale maps of the landforms of the central South Island: a project that has been ten years in the making.

David’s presentation was the second part of a seminar series on the natural history of the Hakatere Conservation Park, the first being the activities of DOC in managing and monitoring the flora and fauna.

The third and final seminar is a fully booked fieldtrip to the Conservation Park area. Following an extensive question and answer session, David was thanked by Edith Smith.

Those interested in U3A activities can email u3a.ashburton@gmail.com.

Ashburton Writers’ Group President Julie welcomed members to the April meeting of the Ashburton Writers’ Group held recently.

Julie read a quotation – The first rule of kindness is to be kind to yourself.

The Assignment for the meeting was “I can hear you.” Members had well thought out stories, very descriptive. They wrote of drugs, daily helper’s daughter, phone voices and stalker.

The instant exercise was to write a story about a magazine picture that was supplied. Members wrote of girl and dog, dog and cat, children on farm and girl with scissors to plaits.

The meeting concluded at 2.45pm with a punctuation exercise and the serving of afternoon tea.

The assignment for the May meeting is “I’d love to ________ but my __________ just____!”

Imaginations will be needed for this assignment.

Visitors are welcome to the meetings, please contact Rae at 308-8927.

CHECK AGAIN. Every year, over 700 drivers in Canterbury cause a crash by failing to giveway.

When at an intersection, check and check again.

■ HARNESS JEWELS

Lazarus ‘not an option’

By Michael Guerin New Zealand’s best pacer has been stunningly left out of markets for the Harness Jewels in Ashburton in June, even though he is still a chance to start there.

In a shock for fans of the champion pacer, Lazarus has not been listed in the market for the fouryear-old Emerald even though he hasn’t been withdrawn from the series.

The TAB opened markets on the three and four-year-old divisions of the Jewels on Sunday with Lazarus surprisingly not there even though he will be a $1.30 chance at best if he starts.

There is no mention of Lazarus in the market conditions so it is not a market with him excluded as a winning chance – or favourite-out betting, as it is known.

Instead the TAB bookies have simply not included him in their initial market because they expect him not to start, instead having his stablemate Heaven Rocks the $1.55 favourite.

“We have heard he is unlikely to start and we would rather leave him out than have people backing him and have him not start,” said TAB bookie Richard Wilson.

Wilson may well be right, with Lazarus not expected to make the June 3 race as trainer Mark Purdon says he could be spelling by then to prepare for his huge season next term.

But Purdon said that is anything but certain.

“I don’t think he will start but we definitely haven’t ruled him out,” says Purdon.

“He is off to Auckland for the

Lazarus is unlikely to appear at the Jewels in Ashburton.

Taylor Mile and the Messenger and then he will probably be finished.

“But things could change.

“He has some of the same owners as Heaven Rocks and Waikiki Beach and if something happened to them in the next month then they might want Laz to go to the Jewels, Purdon said.

“So we definitely won’t be withdrawing him from Jewels conten-

tion any time soon, after all, that decision doesn’t have to be made for at least a month.”

Which means punters who bet in the four-year-old division could find out in a month Purdon has changed his mind – as he often does – and Lazarus is starting and all of a sudden is a red hot favourite and they have taken huge unders on other horses.

By comparison, the main Aus-

tralian TABs do have Lazarus listed in their Jewels futures book as a $1.50 favourite, with Heaven Rocks at $3.50.

The pre-emptive removal of the NZ Cup winner from the market gets even stranger because punters can ring the TAB and ask for a price on horses not listed.

If one did so – you might want to try this if you are bored – then Lazarus would surely have to be listed as the favourite and the entire market would be turned on its head.

While Lazarus is unlikely to head to the Jewels but still possible, his Auckland Cup-winning stablemate Dream About Me definitely won’t be there.

The stable have conceded defeat in their battle with hoof issues and she is out for the remainder of the season.

“The hoof thing wasn’t healing as we wanted and to make matters worse she then started to get other issues, probably from offloading pressure from the hoof.

“So she is out until next season, when the New Zealand Cup will be her big aim.”

The two leading Australian chances to come are both now very unlikely.

Fillies Petacular and My Sweetchilliphilly are both having a break after tough recent campaigns before being aimed at series like the Breeders Crown later in the season.

That leaves two Australians confirmed for the series so far in Rockstar Angel (four-year-old pacing mares) and juvenile trotter One Muscle Hill, who is already in Canterbury.

Group One winner out of carnival contention has now ruled out a third classic tilt.

“He’s not going to Brisbane.

He will have a good long spell instead and then come back for the spring,” Pike said.

“He’s getting there, but we were

Tony Herlihy (MNZM) will be training two good chances in this year’s Rowe Cup and has chosen to drive Temporale over One Over Da Moon in the $150,000 Group One feature at Alexandra Park on April 28.

“They are both progressing along nicely, but because Suzanne (wife) has a share in Temporale I will probably end up driving him in the Rowe Cup. “The other one is a bit more experienced and even though he hasn’t had much racing in him lately he tends to go well in a fresh state up here.

“I was pleased with his

workout win on Saturday,” Herlihy said.

One Over Da Moon and stable junior, Tony Cameron won a five-horse 2700m stand at Pukekohe on Saturday in 3:37.4 (mile rate 2:09.5) and came home in 57.6 and 28.8.

The six-year-old Majestic Son entire started from 40m behind and had one-anda-quarter lengths and oneand-three-quarter lengths to spare over place-getters and 20m handicappers, KD Hall and Shady Sadie.

That was One Over Da Moon’s first run back since finishing 10th in the Domin-

ion Trot at Addington Raceway on November 11.

All-up he’s won 21 of his 63 starts and placed in 10 others for $322,861. One Over Da Moon didn’t race in last year’s Rowe Cup but finished fourth behind Stent the year before.

Herlihy hasn’t won an Anzac Cup but did train and drive One Over Da Moon’s dam One Over Kenny to victory in the the Rowe Cup in 2007.

He’s also driven three other Rowe Cup winners, Gee du Jour (1991), Diamond Field (1994), and One Over Kenny (2009). Only Peter Wolfenden has driven more Rowe Cup winners (five).

Colt relishes conditions The Te Akau stable of Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards produced well-related colt Aquilo to break maiden ranks on a Heavy 1 1 track at Rotorua yesterday in the Sweynesse 2YO. Aquilo is a halfbrother by Snitzel to Group One winning juvenile Marky Mark, and the colt’s ability to handle wet ground provides some forthcoming black-type options. Ridden by Opie Bosson, Aquilo was always prominent and had a head to spare at the finish over Ottavio. - NZME

Home spring campaign Multiple Group One winner Volkstok’n’barrell will be staying closer to home this year. “He’s out spelling at present and doing very well.

We’re giving him a good break and then get him back for the spring racing here,” co-trainer Donna Logan said. Volkstok’n’barrell returned to his best to win the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes in February before a hoof issue prevented him from defending his Gr.1 New Zealand Stakes title and he was turned out.

- NZME

High hopes for Ardrossan Spring Group One hopes are held for Ardrossan, an impressive debut winner at Pukekohe Park earlier this month. The Redoute’s Choice colt will make one more appearance from Stephen Marsh’s stable in the Listed Hamilton Vets Equine Stakes at Te Rapa on May 6 before he transfers to Melbourne.

“Providing he runs up to expectations, he’ll be joining Mick Price’s team and he’ll have a few days in his stable and then spell,” said Bruce Perry, racing manager for Lib Petagna who shares in the ownership of Ardrossan. - NZME

Latta team confident The Lisa Latta-trained representatives Five To Midnight and Lincoln Hills will sign off their seasons at Hastings on Saturday.

“Five To Midnight has trained on well since his last start and he’ll head to the paddock after this,” she said. Five To Midnight will run in the Listed Winning Edge Presentations Hawke’s Bay Gold Cup off the back of his most recent second in the Awapuni Gold Cup. Lincoln Hills will defend his unbeaten record in the Fasttrack Insurance 2YO following his impressive winning debut at Tauherenikau last month. “He’s a lovely horse and he’s going to be an even better three-year-old in the spring,” Latta said.

- NZME

Mare in top form A black type credit at Hastings this weekend will cap a rewarding campaign for the progressive staying mare Pure Lorde. Lightlytried with three victories from her 12 starts, she is primed for another bold showing in Saturday’s Listed Winning Edge Hawke’s Bay Gold Cup. “She’s still got a bit of maturing to do mentally, but it’s worth a crack before the tracks really pack up and she goes out,” co-trainer Graham Richardson said. “Lisa Allpress will ride her.” Richardson has recently been joined in partnership by Gavin Parker and Pure Lorde presented them with their first win together when she scored at the premier meeting at Awapuni at the beginning of the month.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Hampstead tackles champs

By Matt MarkhaM

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

As the halfway point in the Combined Country rugby competition approaches, a few Mid Canterbury teams find themselves in precarious positions ahead of the fourth round of play.

Both Methven and Hampstead are still in search of their first win of the season and further defeats this weekend could see them without a chance of sneaking their way in the back door to a playoff spot when the knockout stage of the competition rolls around.

The competition’s play this weekend is split over three days of action, with Hampstead taking on Waihora tonight at home and Rakaia hosting Southern in an all-Mid Canterbury clash at the Rakaia Domain.

Celtic will play host to Hornby at the Celtic grounds tomorrow afternoon while Methven will travel to Rolleston on Saturday to take on the also-winless Rolleston side.

Hampstead face a tough task if they are to withstand defending champions, Waihora – despite the Tai Tapu based side appear-

ing to be well down on their form of 12 months ago.

Regan Broker’s men have shown glimpses of brilliance this season and the ability to go with any side in the competition, but it will take a full 80-minute performance to bank some valuable points in what is bound to be tricky conditions tonight.

The Rakaia and Southern clash is set to be a thriller. Rakaia were good last week against a hapless Rolleston and showed they have the ability to score tries from anywhere on the paddock, a weapon Michael Ellis will have been making his Southern men well aware of during training this week.

They will also need to shut down the midfield combination of Nete Cacau and Seta Koroitamana – a job that may see loose forwards like James Carr and Will Veint playing a more expansive defensive role in the backline.

Celtic will be smarting after their first loss of the season last weekend when they were well and truly beaten by Glenmark and Cheviot.

Shane Enright’s men had looked like real competition con-

on. Players like Davey Maw and Fa’aitu Tuamoheloa possess the ability to turn a match on its head in one swoop and their experience will be crucial if Methven are to register their first win.

DRAWS ■ Golf tenders up until that point and will be desperate to get things back on track tomorrow afternoon in front of their vocal supporters.

Methven’s match on Saturday afternoon, the only game in the round on Saturday, will give them a perfect chance to get points on the board, with Rolleston looking far from the complete package so far this season.

But with strong ball runners in the midfield and some journeyman forwards who put the head down and get the job done, Andy Pearce will be asking for his men to leave nothing on the paddock.

Like Rakaia, Methven’s backline could be their most lethal weap-

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Bodily responses, like hunger, sleepiness and fear, are not commanders of our being, just physical suggestions. They can be heeded or overridden to suit other needs.

When overridden they lessen in intensity.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): What we resist persists.

Let go and the opposing force might come forward, but it won’t be able to grip you.

You’ll be like water, offering nothing to grab onto.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you seek to bypass the problem, you’ll squander precious energy in the workaround. This one needs to be addressed instead. But don’t worry: Mere confrontation will shrink it considerably.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): They will never say you weren’t generous. In fact, you may feel compelled to give more than is necessary or even appropriate, though you won’t regret this.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You will solve one of the great mysteries of life – like, “What are other people’s motives?” or “What’s he thinking?”

Well, maybe you won’t find the answer, but you’ll get a rather enlightening glimpse of it.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Accepting what you can’t change is one way to go about it, though you might accidentally find that through acceptance a transformation happens anyway.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Should you spend, save or give what you have? Whichever choice you make will end in loss; it’s just a matter of timing.

So the answer really depends on personal style and current priorities.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You haven’t forgotten about the person who knocked themselves out to help you. However, you haven’t shown official appreciation, at least to your standards. You’ll enjoy fulfilling this part of your to-do list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Selfies don’t always represent the prevailing narcissism of the age. Today’s snaps will be about letting others know you’re proud to be together and you want to share the memory in later days.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You may be worried whether your plans have a solid foundation.

Is there anything you might be missing?

Are your worries a form of resistance, or intuition? Don’t move until you feel better.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): In fairytales, uninvited guests turn up at the party anyway, resentful and wielding spells of vengeance. In real life, it’s just hurt feelings. Include everyone and you won’t have to worry about it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Regardless of how cool, or solid or useful a thing may be, what’s popular now may not be tomorrow. You’ve no control over the trends, but you know what’s right for you, be happy you acted on that instinct.

Sport ‘You can’t blame me’ Ex-Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah has absolved himself of having anything to do with the ongoing troubles that are blighting his old club. Farah couldn’t be drawn on the dramas which have dominated the start of the NRL season – including the sacking of coach Jason Taylor.

But he’s told reporters he’s now moved on, before adding that it was perceived he was to blame for any rumblings at Concord and they must all now be fixed since his departure.

Home ground advantage

The Ashburton Range Users Association has welcomed in a new era of the Ashburton butts rifle range through the hosting of the Canterbury Rifle Association’s Autumn Championships over the weekend.

It was association president John Snowden who took out A-

grade, with a score 345.33.

The range was closed for nearly two years after safety concerns were raised about bullets ricocheting in to the nearby walking and cycle track.

A large-scale operation was undertaken to construct an 8m high concrete wall to make the range safe again.

The club had a very fine mar-

gin between re-opening the range and hosting the event, with the final calibrations made to the electronic scoring systems performed on Friday last week.

“We set the date as a time to have the range open and cut it pretty close, but we got there,” said Snowden.

As well as celebrating the re-

opening of the range, the club had the opportunity to celebrate member, John Fleming’s 80th birthday.

Fleming has been involved in rifle shooting since about 1952 and took out the B-grade with a score of 330.23, just above second-place Kathryn Lange of Invercargill, who shot a score of 330.18.

Parker ‘the toughest’ Hughie Fury rates Kiwi Joseph Parker as the best of the recognised heavyweight champions – better even than fellow Englishman Anthony Joshua.

Fury, who will fight Parker for the WBO title at Auckland’s Vector Arena on May 6, said it was the South Aucklander’s hunger and skill which sets him apart from the heavy-hitting Joshua,

the IBF champion who will defend his title against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley on April 29, and WBC champion Deontay Wilder, an American with a vicious right hand.

“They’ve all got their own strengths but I think Joseph Parker is the best out there at the minute,” Fury said.

“He’s the toughest fight be-

Lazarus unlikely starter at Jewels P15

tween all three of them because he’s hungry ... [and] he’s got lots of skill.

“Wilder’s just wild. He’s just trying to land the big bomb and that’s all he’s got.”

The respect between Fury’s camp and Parker has been clear for months since the fight was made, with the 25-year-old also on good terms with Hughie’s

cousin, Tyson, the former lineal champion. That cordiality isn’t the norm – the Furys have made their disdain of Joshua and Wilder quite clear.

Hughie said it was because Parker himself was respectful and not prone to getting ahead of himself.

“He’s a fighting man,” Hughie Fury said.

Round one went to the locals at Bells Beach, with the three top Australian women winning through and two key international surfing rivals making shaky starts. Defending world champion Tyler Wright made an early statement as the Rip Curl Pro waiting period opened in one-metre conditions. Wright, third on the world rankings after two events, posted an impressive heat score of 17 with a nine and an eight wave ride. It was the highest round-one score as Wright opened her campaign to win the iconic Bells Beach trophy for the first time.

No more social media Dual Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett says he’s taken himself off social media amid criticism over his role in the Suns’ 102-point round two loss to Greater Western Sydney. Ablett says he’s now focusing on what he can control and has deleted his social media accounts while feeling frustrated by false information presented by the media. Ablett’s future has been the subject of speculation ever since he requested a trade back to his former club Geelong late last year.
