INSIDE

A child welfare agency admits it has let down an Ashburton man who claims the system is failing badly.

The man, who we will call Bruce for legal reasons, was asked to take his 13-yearold nephew into his care last year.

The boy has been under the care and protection of Child, Youth and Family since he was a toddler and has been “shunted from one place to another” ever since, along with a younger sibling, Bruce said.

As a result he is a troubled teen.

Schooling has been sporadic and he was unable to attend classes without teacher support.

Bruce said he was asked to quit his job to provide this support as no funding was available in Ashburton.

CYFs southern regional director Theresa Perham refuted this, saying the caregiver was not asked to leave his job, however, she acknowledged that the caregiving role had “implications for his availability for work”.

Bruce has another story and says CYF is evading the issues. “Additional funding and support for education was applied for after I had already been established as teacher’s aide,” he said.

“I had numerous conversations with (a social worker) about my commitments with work.

“She initiated the conversations and came up with several plans around how funding would work. She explored triple board payments, but this was denied after I left my job.”

He was left well out of pocket and the responsibility of providing 24-hour care

for the boy seven days a week.

His requests for additional assistance in the form of respite care also came to nothing.

CYF claimed the service was not provided because “the caregiver lived in a rural setting and as a result there were limitations on the sort of support services and respite care that were available”.

But Ms Perham went on to acknowledge more could possibly have been done to support the caregiver in this respect.

Bruce said this was also “bollocks” and the support systems were never available in the first place.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

No takers for dob in a vandal scheme Entertainer Jim Hopkins entertained a large crowd of farmers and rural professionals including Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust manager Sue Baird (left) and husband and co-ordinator Allan Baird at yesterday’s rural ruckus.

Cleaning up smashed road signs and damaged property is costing Ashburton District ratepayers more than $66,000 a year.

But in spite of the high cost of repairs, district councillors yesterday declined to introduce an incentive scheme for reporting vandalism.

The council was considering a scheme that could see the person reporting an incident that resulted in the identification of an offender and a prosecution paid $200 for their efforts.

Dobbing in an offender was not the way to go, councillor Stuart Wilson said.

“What’s happened to community spirit? If we have to pay people to report this there’s something very wrong with our society. This is ridiculous we’d still be spending ratepayer money on something it doesn’t need to be spent on,” he said.

Almost half of that cost is incurred in replacing damaged or removed road signs and while the financial toll was high, the real cost could ultimately be counted in lost lives, Mr Wilson said.

While CCTV cameras were well used in urban areas as a deterrent to vandals, rural areas were largely left to their own devices, to come up with their own solu-

Stuart Wilson tions, and that meant the cost of road side vandalism was disproportionately high – more than 50 per cent of the total.

Over the past three years the amount paid to fix up damage caused by vandals has risen from $18,678 in the 2012/2013 year to $66,671 this year, with more than a month to run until the end of the financial year.

“It’s heading in the wrong direction; whatever we’re doing, we’re doing it wrong,” said councillor Alan Totty.

Incentivised reporting might not result in a lot of prosecutions but it could have a significant deterrent value, he said.

When it was put to the vote, only Mr Totty was keen to adopt the dob in a vandal scheme.

A large crowd of farmers and rural professionals were entertained by celebrity speaker Jim Hopkins yesterday at an event designed to provide some light-hearted relief following a tough season.

Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust hosted a rural ruckus at the Tinwald Memorial Hall that included a free barbecue lunch and the chance to get off the farm for a few hours for food, fun and fellowship.

Manager Sue Baird was delighted with the number of people that attended, although she knew Jim Hopkins, with his quick wit, would be a drawcard.

Eight retired farmers from Park Street daycare also attended as did Mid Canterbury Rural Women NZ members who helped out in the kitchen.

The support from all areas of the community had been “bril-

liant”, Mrs Baird said.

“It was a lighthearted event aimed at getting people to talk among themselves and realise that everyone is in this together.”

Mrs Baird said the trust would look at having further events of a similar nature and commended other rural organisations who had also run supportive events.

“The Winchmore Rural Women branch ran a men’s dinner last month and had 50 men come and I was thrilled about it. So there’s a lot of communities doing things and looking at more things they can do.”

Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust chairperson Peter Reveley said it was important people got the chance to come out and talk to each other.

“And realise they’re not the only ones.”

Mr Reveley said most farmers in the district were coping “reasonably well” despite the fi-

nancial difficulties many found themselves in.

Many dairy farmers chose not to send their cows off farm to graziers this year, leaving a lot of excess feed on dairy support farms without a home but Mr Reveley believed that situation was now largely resolved.

“Most of the dairy cows have found a home at a better price than graziers thought they were going to get.”

Mr Reveley said the servicing industry had been hit hardest by the dairy downturn but rural spending was starting again, particularly in maintaining equipment.

However, he had some sympathy for cropping farmers who had previously relied on dairy grazing for winter income and were also suffering declining cereal returns.

“They just don’t know what they are going to grow.”

■ SAFETY AMBASSADORS

Anger flares over planned axing

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A stinging attack from one of their own has prompted Ashburton’s district councillors to think again before they axe a project that has played a significant part in keeping town centre streets safe after dark.

Safety Ambassadors have been walking Ashburton streets on Friday and Saturday nights for eight years but without warning the Ashburton District Council decided it would pull funding and can the service.

The lack of discussion or consultation upset the ambassadors’ employer, Safer Ashburton, with its general manager Kevin Clifford saying the decision had

come as a total shock.

At yesterday council finance and business support meeting councillor Don McLeod, Safer Ashburton’s chairman came out fighting and took his fellow councillors to task for making a decision he said had been based on a total lack of information.

“For the council to consider scrapping support without even speaking to the general manager … at the very least he should been involved. They have staff who have now read in the paper that their jobs are in jeopardy.

Not good enough,” Mr McLeod said.

An independent review of the ambassador programme had been discussed so an informed

decision around funding could be reached but that hadn’t happened, he said.

“If you get the feeling I’m angry about this, you’re absolutely correct.”

Currently the council provides $25,000 for the programme with the Ministry of Justice matching this.

He said there were a raft of factual inaccuracies in the report in the committee agenda and said he would not be party to decisions made on a report that was less than objective and factually faulty.

“Not for the first time, I am getting comments from people involved in the social service sector that council is making decisions

too far and too much was being spent, he said.

“When is enough, enough?

Years ago social spending was a small part of the council’s budget. Today it is not. Why should ratepayers have to pick up these costs, this is a taxpayer thing.

It’s growing like Topsy. It’s very easy to be socially minded when it’s someone else’s money you’re spending.”

Whether the Ministry of Justice will continue to fund the programme will not be known for about two weeks and that has given the safety ambassadors a stay of execution as councillors opted to postpone making a decision on ratepayer support until the May 26 council meeting.

High winds cause problems for schools

■ FAIRTON SCHOOL

Students head to a galaxy far, far away

Strong wind caused problems for a number of schools with some bus services being cancelled yesterday.

Mount Hutt College acting principal Kris Canham said most Methven bus services which transport students from Mount Hutt College, Our Lady of the Snows School and Methven Primary School were cancelled.

The only two services continuing to run were those from Mount Hutt College to Ashburton and Tinwald.

The bus services assessed the conditions and decided it was too dangerous to run the services to the foothills and the Rakaia Gorge due to wind being stronger in these places.

“It was very gusty and unpredictable.”

Fairton School students had an out-of-world experience during a visit to the Ashburton Museum yesterday.

The students had a lesson with Wendy Hurst who came up specially from the South Canterbury Museum to teach them about space.

Pictured are Abby Cochrane and Vienna Smith learning about star clusters.

Uncle let down by ‘broken’ CYF system From P1 “CYF knew my rural address from the getgo,” he said.

“Before (the boy) was placed here we had meetings and phone conferences and I was told the rural setting didn’t matter.

“In all honesty I’m two minutes from Ashburton town, so hardly rural. The fact is the supports in Ashburton are not available full-stop.”

The boy has repeatedly stolen vehicles to drive to Christchurch. On one occasion he was missing and running wild on the city streets for more than five days without CYF reporting him as missing, Bruce said.

After his most recent escapade last week he was remanded by a Youth Court judge

without talking to the people who do the work. This is poor process and does our working relationships and general reputation no good. If there were issues, they should have been part of a proper review.”

After spending two nights on the street with the safety ambassadors, councillor Donna Favel made it clear she did not believe they added value to after dark safety.

“I do not have complimentary things to say on what I personally saw,” she said.

While he hadn’t worked alongside the ambassadors, councillor Stuart Wilson said funding the programme was like other council social spending, it was going

to a secure residential facility in the North Island.

In the interim he’s safe, but the situation has left Bruce and his partner angry and disappointed.

“I’m gutted. The hard truth is had I known it would be this stressful and hard dealing with this government agency, I would have thought twice about taking my nephew on.”

Bruce has no gripes about individual social workers, but rather the cash-strapped “broken system” which has let him and the boy down.

As a result of the Guardian’s inquiries a meeting with senior CYF staff has been organised, but Bruce fears it may be too little, too late.

■ OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS

In brief

School moving forward

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Our Lady of the Snows School is now in a positive position to move forward with limited statutory manager Virginia Noonan continuing to support staff this term.

The Ministry of Education appointed Mrs Noonan in May last year following a request from the board of trustees to resolve governance issues.

Mrs Noonan said in the last year the school has put in a lot of effort to address all outstanding personnel and communi-

cation issues and this has now been completed.

“The board has worked hard to address this with senior management.

“I’m really pleased with the work that the principal and the current board have been doing.”

She will continue to work with the board this term to help them embed the improved systems as well as support the new board following elections in June.

“I will help them maintain the good work.

“I will stay on this term to support them and ensure everything runs smoothly.”

Once elected she will induct the new board members into their roles and make sure they are introduced to all the board policies, she said.

The school community has been consulted throughout the process and all seem to be happy with the way things are going.

“It’s a positive environment to be in.

“The focus is very much now on student achievement and

what’s best for the children.”

Last year there had been concerns with the school roll which had dropped to its lowest number in at least five years, however it has started to stabilise.

The roll is currently at 36 due to a family of five children moving out of the area but it is stable and there are eight preenrollments between now and the end of the year, she said.

Mrs Noonan will stay at the school until at least the end of this term and will stay until the Ministry is satisfied that she is no longer needed.

■ INTERNATIONAL NURSES’ DAY

Day marked with a special morning tea Ashburton Hospital staff celebrated International Nurses’ Day with morning tea yesterday.

The theme this year was Nurses a force of change – improving health systems’ resilience.

Canterbury District Health Board executive director of nursing Mary Gordon said the theme was appropriate for nurses in post-earthquake Canterbury.

“Every decision nurses make in their practice can make a significant difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire system – our regional nurses have learned to demonstrate strong resistance,” she said.

Health Workforce NZ has pointed to a looming nationwide crisis, with 42 per cent of nurses aged upward of 50 years set to retire in the next few years. The impact is expected to be felt as early as 2020.

Ashburton Hospital employs 247 nurses, including three new graduates, with an average age of 47 years.

Acting director of nursing Annette Norton said Ashburton Hospital planned for the future and aimed to take in new graduates each year.

Three new graduates also

Dance shindig One hundred and fifty sequence dancers are practising their steps for a shindig in Ashburton next month. Glenys’ Dance Group will host the annual event in the Tinwald Hall over Queen’s Birthday weekend, kicking off with a dance on Friday evening.

On Saturday evening each group will demonstrate a new dance and the favourite will be taught to everyone the following day beginning at 10.30am. Saturday’s event is open to the public for a $5 door charge and a plate for supper.

Powerlines down A campervan hit a power pole and snapped it in half, bringing down powerlines in Rakaia yesterday afternoon. Emergency services were called to the scene at about 1.45pm, where it’s understood a campervan had pulled over to let traffic past, when it hit the pole.

Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said EA Networks were nearby and secured the scene, and were to replace the pole. No one was injured in the crash.

Incorrect name In yesterday’s Guardian we referred to the owner of Ashburton’s Robert Harris Café as Deb King when it is in fact Steph Ching.

Owners wanted Ashburton Police are on the hunt for the owners of a number of items that have been handed in to the station. They’ve got several scooters, along with a cellphone and an envelope with a name on it, which contains old photos and an old letter. The cellphone – which was found on Alford Forest Road – is locked, but its owner would be able to identify it through a photo on the home screen. The envelope was found in a car park.

Dunne fesses up Student nurses Birgit Martens and Harriet Redmond joined clinical nurse manager Jane Harnett, district nurses Jess Summers and Diane Heenan, registered nurses Naomi Rivera and Fay Jones, along with acting director of nursing Annette Norton and district nurse Tracey Clemens to celebrate International Nurses’ Day. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 120516-TM-0003 joined the staff last year. Just three per cent of the hospital’s nursing staff are men.

“It is essential we continue to build our workforce each year

with newly qualified nurses joining our established teams because with an ageing workforce we are mindful there will be a number of senior nurses retiring

in the next five years, taking with them significant experience and knowledge,” she said.

All nursing positions at the hospital are currently filled.

Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne has outed himself as having a speeding fine, ahead of a release of information from Ministerial Services. Last year Newstalk ZB sought, and was declined, details on speeding infringements incurred by Ministers in their self-drive cars. That decision was appealed to the Ombudsman, who it appears may have ordered the release of the information. - NZME

McLeod Sherratt, Brodyn Gabites and Rose Stevens were among the Cactus crew on a windscreen-washing mission to promote their Good in the Hood appeal at a local fuel station.

Motorists were asked to drop a Good in the Hood token into the Cactus box after paying for their fuel, and the initiative appeared to be highly successful – so much so they plan to be back there on Thursday next week.

The Cactus programme helps school-age kids build confidence and physical fitness and is administered by Safer Ashburton.

■ MAY WEATHER

Warmth ‘frustrating’

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Winter is just around the corner, but it does not feel like it, much to the dismay of skiers.

Temperatures in Ashburton over the past three consecutive days have climbed to over 20 degrees, meaning there has now been 10 days so far which have exceeded 20 degrees.

Mt Hutt Ski Area management are remaining optimistic, and are counting on temperatures dropping next week so they can launch into snowmaking.

The unseasonably warm and dry conditions are also causing frustrations for farmers.

MetService data from the Ashburton Airport weather sta-

tion shows just 0.4 millimetres of rain fell this month to May 10, compared to the average to this date of 20 millimetres.

And so far this year just 174.2 millimetres of rain has fallen, compared to the average of 240 millimetres.

The Ashburton River has been on 100 per cent irrigation restrictions since before Easter.

Ashburton Forks sheep and beef farmer Chris Allen said it was frustrating for farmers to have to weigh up whether to irrigate this time of year.

On the good side there was plenty of feed and grain around, and stock were enjoying the warmer weather.

Meanwhile, Mt Hutt is trying

OPEN 7 DAYS

to drum up enthusiasm for the ski season ahead on social media, but not everyone is feeling in the mood.

“Hard to prep for winter when it’s still 24 degrees … should be prepping the boat instead,” was one comment on the ski area’s Facebook page.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said the long-range forecast at Mt Hutt showed a bit of snow for early next week, and lowering temperatures.

The ski area was to have new snowmaking equipment arriving yesterday into Methven, and snowmaking would begin as early as next week if it was cold enough.

A period of strong winds was

S

E L A

under way after a relatively settled period over summer, however, he was “optimistic” of making the June 10 opening date.

MetService meteorologist Ciaran Doolin said with winds late yesterday there could be a brief period of rain on the Canterbury Plains, and snow on Mt Hutt.

The longer range forecast showed a body of cooler air coming through late on Monday.

Mid Canterbury conditions were expected to be unseasonably warm, and drier, for May with a lower frequency of southerly outbreaks than usual for this time of year.

Wheels Week is set to end with a bang this weekend with eight wheels-related events.

The extravaganza, which is in its 26th year, brings thousands of people into the district with more than ever coming this year.

One of the organisers, Tony Dawson, said the affair has been a complete success so far with numbers up for most events and the weekend should really put the icing on the cake.

“It’s been brilliant, everyone has been really happy with the weather and the crowds.”

This weekend’s events will have something of interest for everyone.

“It will be a fitting finale to what has been a very successful event, we’ll be going out with a bang.”

Big Toys for Big Boys Show coordinator Swampy Marshall said this event, will be a hit with dads and the kids.

There will be some very large vehicles including an earthmover as well as some speedway and skydiving demonstrations to keep everyone entertained.

For something a bit different people will be able to watch the Paterson Funeral Services Wheelchair Basketball match which pits a team of local celebrities against a Christchurch wheelchair basketball team tomorrow.

Organiser Pauline Paterson said the game is usually a lot of fun.

“It’s just a good, fun event of a different version of wheels.”

Today there will also be the Ashburton Aviation Museum and Ashburton Car Club’s static display on the East Street Green.

Tomorrow people will be able to head down to the AutoSparks Street Sprints, the Ashburton Car Club Twilight Autocross and the Ashburton Motorcycle Club Magical Mystery Motorcycle Misadventure ride.

Sunday will see the AutoSparks Street Sprints finals, the SprayMarks Wheels Week Street Parade and the Ashburton Aviation Museum’s static display at the Ashburton Airport.

■ IRAQ

Bloodiest day claims 93 In the deadliest violence in Baghdad this year, three car bombs claimed by the Islamic State group killed 93 people across the Iraqi capital yesterday, demonstrating the extremists’ ability to mount significant attacks despite major battlefield losses.

The separate bombings, which also wounded 165 people, came at a time of turmoil and deadlock in Iraq’s government and parliament.

The Interior Ministry blamed the attacks on “political bickering” that is increasingly threatening the security of the civilian population.

The largest car bomb ripped through a crowded outdoor market selling food, clothing and household goods in the predominantly Shiite neighbourhood of Sadr City, killing at least 63 people and wounding 85.

Streets were stained with blood, building facades were heavily damaged and smoke billowed from stores gutted by the blast.

Dozens of people walked through mangled wreckage of cars and other debris as ambulances ferried away the injured.

The bomb was in a pickup

Madonna to honour Prince The Material Girl will pay tribute to The Purple One with a live performance at the Billboard Music Awards this month.

Billboard and Dick Clark Productions said Madonna will honour Prince at the May 22 show. Specific details about the performance weren’t revealed. Prince was found dead on April 21 in his suburban Minneapolis home at age 57. Ludacris and Ciara will host the show, which will include performances by Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, the Go-Go’s, Celine Dion and Pink. Nominees for top artist include Adele, Bieber, Drake, Taylor Swift and the Weeknd.

Citizens inspect the scene after a car bomb explosion at a crowded outdoor market in the Iraqi capital’s eastern district of Sadr City.

“It was such a thunderous explosion that jolted the ground,” Salih said. “The force

of the explosion threw me for metres away and I lost consciousness for a few minutes.”

The sprawling slum of Sadr City is home to 2.5 million people – almost half of Baghdad’s population of about 6 million.

Two more car bombs ex-

ploded elsewhere in the afternoon, killing at least 30 and wounded 80, police officials said. One bomb targeted a police station in the northwestern Kadhimiyah neighbourhood, while another struck in the northern neighbourhood of Jamiya.

■ MALAYSIA

Pieces ‘almost certainly’ from Flight 370 Malaysia’s government said yesterday that two more pieces of debris, discovered in South Africa and Rodrigues Island off Mauritius, were “almost certainly” from Flight 370, which mysteriously disappeared more than two years ago with 239 people on board.

The announcement means a total of five pieces of debris from the Malaysian Airlines’ jet have now been discovered in various spots around the In-

dian Ocean since it vanished on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the two new pieces were an engine cowling piece with a partial RollsRoyce logo and an interior panel piece from an aircraft cabin.

This was the first interior part found from the missing plane.

An international team of

experts in Australia who examined the debris concluded that both pieces were consistent with panels found on a Malaysia Airlines’ Boeing 777 aircraft, Liow said.

“As such, the team has confirmed that both pieces of debris from South Africa and Rodrigues Island are almost certainly from MH370,” he said in a statement.

In March, investigators confirmed two pieces of debris

found along Mozambique’s coast were almost certainly from the aircraft. Last year, a wing part from the plane washed ashore on France’s Reunion Island.

Flight 370 is believed to have crashed somewhere in a remote stretch of the southern Indian Ocean about 1800 kilometres off Australia’s west coast. An ongoing search has found nothing so far.

■ BUDGET

Tax cuts ‘off the table’ Mr English said the Government’s tax take was driven largely by the size of nominal GDP. Treasury had forecast significant reductions in nominal GDP, influenced by inflation staying lower for longer than expected.

Higher-than-expected population growth had also put more pressure on spending.

As a result, Mr English said, new spending for the 2016 and 2017 Budgets had been “rearranged”.

Spending which had previously been earmarked for the 2017 Budget would now be brought forward.

Another portion of the spending earmarked for next year’s Budget would be used to reduce debt, to help meet a target of reducing debt to 20 per cent of GDP by 2020.

Before the “rearrangement”, the Government had set aside $1 billion in new spending for Budget 2016 and $2.5 billion for Budget 2017.

Z Energy still committed to Fly Buys Z chief executive Mike Bennetts yesterday said Z was “completely committed” to the future of Fly Buys, in which the company has a financial interest.

The fuel retailer has a 25 per cent stake in Loyalty New Zealand, which offers Fly Buys.

Media reports had earlier suggested Z was considering pulling out of Fly Buys, which is New Zealand’s biggest loyalty programme.

“In the context of a conversation around changing loyalty programmes in New Zealand it has been completely misreported that Z is considering pulling out of Fly Buys,” he said in a statement.

“Fly Buys is a very important part of Z’s loyalty offer and I want to categorically state that Z is completely committed to Fly Buys,” he said.

reducing the imbalance between supply and demand would be key.

Although acknowledging that the NZ financial system remains resilient, the risks to its stability have increased in the past six months. These risks include slowing global growth as the outlook for the global economy has deteriorated.

Low dairy prices are also posing a risk for our financial stability as many farmers are now facing a third season of negative cashflow. This puts pressure on the dairy industry as well as the regions which are reliant on dairy farmer spending.

In Australia, it was a reasonably quiet week. The market seemed to still be catching up with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s somewhat surprising move to cut rates. Despite the market pricing in a slightly higher than 50 per cent chance of a rate cut, analysts seemed unconvinced that it would eventuate in the lead up.

Market reaction to the rate cut was dramatic with the share market rising sharply and the currency making an equally large move in the opposite direction.

An Australian consumer confidence survey showed that the move found favour with consumers, as confidence levels jumped

8.5 per cent to 103.2. This was the highest level seen since January 2014 and the largest increase since June 2010. There was a particular large uptick in the confidence of those surveyed who had a mortgage.

The US corporate reporting season for the March quarter has come to an end this week, with the exception of a few stragglers.

Just over 90 per cent of S&P500 companies have reported to date. Of those that reported 54 per cent beat revenue estimates, while 75 per cent have beaten on an earnings level.

This is comfortably above historical averages, however, it is important to note that prior to this reporting season, guidance was revised lower for many companies, making these figures a little less impressive.

Overall, revenue’s declined -2 per cent while earnings declined more than 8 per cent. This was the third quarter in a row with negative earnings growth and was driven by a strong US dollar as well as low oil prices.

There has been plenty of data from the Eurozone for investors to focus on this week which will culminate in the Eurozone GDP figure for the March quarter.

Preliminary estimates released a fortnight ago, showed a quarterly expansion of 0.6 per cent, ahead of market expectations of a 0.4 per cent increase.

NZX50 on a rise; Sky takes a fall he NZX50 has returned to its record setting ways, clocking up a new record close this week.

Global markets have again had a volatile run as investors digested the last of the corporate earnings season and commodity prices continued to fluctuate.

A big mover on the NZX50 this week has been Sky TV. The company announced at the end of last week that subscriber numbers have decreased significantly and this would impact financial results for FY17.

Immediately following the announcement, the share price tumbled more than 15 per cent and then continued to be the worst performer in the days following.

The key event on the New Zealand economic calendar was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Financial Stability report.

The report discusses the risk to the country’s financial stability and at this point in time there are plenty.

The RBNZ is in an interesting position as low inflation and a stubbornly high NZ dollar support further rate cuts; however, the ongoing strength in the housing market would be exacerbated if rates were lower.

Governor Graeme Wheeler said that the loan to value restrictions introduced late in 2015 have helped and slightly cooled the Auckland housing market.

However, prices remain stretched relative to incomes.

The RBNZ will continue to monitor the situation and will implement further policy measures if required, but said that

nual results announcement, Z said it was looking at its supermarket coupon scheme.

“We are doing some work on Z’s loyalty offer which we will update later in the year,” Bennetts said.

This has resulted in Z and Progressive Enterprises agreeing not to renew their supermarket docket relationship. This will come to an end on July 31 this year.

The Government says tax cuts are now off the table in this year’s Budget and possibly next year’s Budget as well.

Finance Minister Bill English confirmed yesterday afternoon that the Government would instead prioritise paying down national debt.

In a pre-Budget speech to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Mr English said lowering income taxes remained a Government priority, in particular for low and middle income earners.

“However, as we’ve always said, tax reductions remain dependent on fiscal and economic conditions.

“With continuing tight fiscal conditions, we don’t currently have an explicit provision for tax reduction in the fiscal forecasts.

“At this point, we’ve prioritised additional debt repayment over setting aside money in Budget 2017 for tax cuts.”

OUR VIEW

Community attack on vandalism needed Sue Newman

I

t’s nothing short of criminal that more than $66,000 of ratepayer money is being spent cleaning up after vandals have smashed their way around our district.

The cost is increasing significantly every year and we’re no closer to finding a solution.

While we install CCTV cameras in vandalism hot spots, the investment may be paying off for its deterrent factor, but it appears we’re nabbing very few offenders.

While vandalism has a high nuisance value in town, in rural areas it could very easily become a crime with serious consequences.

For some reason, there are idiots who think road signs are fair game. Like many games, it’s all well and good, until someone gets hurt. And on rural roads, where road signs are being smashed or removed on a regular basis, the risk of an intersection smash is high.

We’ve all come across intersections where road markings might indicate an intersection should be marked by a stop or giveway sign but where the sign is missing. Fine if you’re a local who drives those roads regularly, by instinct you know the roading hierarchy. But if you’re a stranger to a stretch of road you’ll never know what’s missing – until you smash into another vehicle.

Missing signs force motorists to play intersection Russian roulette. Inevitably someone will get the chamber with the bullet in it. And if there’s a death at an intersection where a road sign has been removed, that vandal will be as guilty of murder as they would be if they’d pointed that gun and fired the bullet.

Vandals only do what they do because they think they can get away with it. The council has tossed out an option of paying people to dob-in-a-vandal and that’s probably the right thing to do. As a community we should be sufficiently angered by this wilful destruction of property that we’re happy to dob the offenders in without a reward.

We all have a role to play in keeping ratepayer money in ratepayers’ pockets. If we see something that doesn’t look right, write down a vehicle registration number, a description of a vehicle or an individual and call the cops – or the council.

Don’t sit on your hands and do nothing. Do that and you’re a vandal by default.

When should your ‘man card’ be surrendered?

I

handed in my ‘man card’ this week, but I wasn’t the only one.

I am ashamed to admit that I watched the The Bachelor NZ. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I enjoyed it, but I watched it and I actually looked forward to it.

It wasn’t an anticipation like Friday night footy, where I start getting a bit buzzy about Wednesday. It was kind of like eating white bread, it was good while I was doing it but shortly afterwards I felt sick and wished I hadn’t done it.

I liken the Bachelor to a vacuum cleaner, if you’re in the next room doing something else, it’s very annoying, but if you get too close to it, it grabs you and sucks you in. Once you are sucked in, it’s near impossible to fight your way out again.

Some of us got stuck in the hose and almost made our way out after a week of trying. Others were sucked deep into the bag, only

seeing the light of day again when the vacuum was turned off.

Just when you think the vacuum is about to be packed away, it gets plugged into another power source and fired up again briefly.

I’m talking about the Women Tell All special in which the bachelorettes discuss the competition.

I posed the question on my Hoops On Air facebook page, “Did Jordan make the right choice”?

One hundred and eighty one people clicked the like button, these people are at the top of the vacuum bag, very close to the exit point.

They have been sucked in but not right to the bottom of the bag like these people.

Amanda: “She’s doomed for the most boring mundane relationship ever. No more Michael Hill or TVNZ to the

rescue for actual original date ideas.”

Di: “Yes she was my favourite, she has a Beautiful personality and was not bitchy i like her.”

Kathy: “Fleur was my pick all along ... until I decided I wasn’t that enamoured of Jordan and perhaps Naz should win! Naz was in it to win a prize, whatever the cost, anything for attention!

She’ll gets loads of attention now telling her story .. she’ll be fine.”

Barbara: “Was so happy he chose fleur she was so genuine unlike Naz who seemed so fake.”

Anna: “They don’t seem to have actual chemistry I don’t reckon. I think he picked fleur cos he knew his mum wanted him too.”

There were another 20-plus people who commented with less than five words like, “wahoo, beautiful choice” and “Yes!” These people have also been sucked in, but are currently sitting beside a big wad of cat fur and some dried peas in the middle of the bag.

They are happy to be sucked further into the bag.

I have grave con-

cerns for two of my mates who live in Dunedin. Callum posted on facebook at 5pm Monday night, “Power cut at home. Could miss Bachelor. Stressing”. Then Craig replied with “Come to mine!!!”

This is an obvious cry for help from these two gentlemen.

They have not handed in their man cards, they have cut them into small pieces. Maybe they are taking things to the next level similar to Stan and Blue on Shortland Street. Not that I watch …. Bugger!

In brief

■ ASHBURTON

Hughes camp confident The Kevin and Pam Hughes stable will present three good prospects at Ashburton today to continue the stable’s good run of form.

Hot off a home track double last weekend with winners Bonaparte and Double Blue, they have plenty of confidence in the prospects of Nancy (Ashburton Raceway Function Centre Maiden), Odabella (RD Petroleum Handicap) and Gotagetmywoohoo (Speights Ale House Handicap).

A half-sister by Raise The Flag to the dual Group Three winner Inferno, Nancy finished a strong third on debut over a middle distance at Timaru and she is expected to be particularly hard to beat.

“She has improved a lot and I would be disappointed if she didn’t win today,” Kevin Hughes said.

Kevin and Pam Hughes will be a team to follow today.

“She’s got a great pedigree behind her and down the track

■ HARNESS JEWELS

we’ll be looking to get some black type for her – she would be

worth a fair bit of money.”

Odabella is also ticking over well and ready to excel on the right underfoot conditions.

“She’s just waiting for a shower of rain.

“She’s a big, heavy mare and she feels the ground a bit,” Hughes said.

“She hasn’t got a big sprint and just grinds away.

“We’ve put Alfred Chan on with three kilos off and she has been working tremendously well at home.”

Gotagetmywoohoo will resume after a lengthy break and he was a trial winner earlier this week.

“He’s another who has been waiting for the tracks to soften,” Hughes said.

“He’s strengthened up a lot and he’s well.

“He also looks like he’s turned the corner mentally.”

Say My Name in doubt Paddy ‘top of his game’

By Michael Guerin The casualty ward for what is usually the glamour race of Harness Jewels day is getting crowded.

Second favourite Say My Name is in danger of missing his $150,000 division at Cambridge on June 4 after being scratched from Alexandra Park tonight.

Driver John Dunn says the gelding, who is unbeaten in three starts this season, is still being troubled by a hock problem.

“We don’t really know how he got it,” admits Dunn.

“It happened somewhere between when he left here (Canterbury) before the Taylor Mile meeting and settled in the north and we thought we were on top of it.

“But he wasn’t right today so

Ashburton Guardian 15

we have pulled him out of Friday night. That isn’t ideal as a Jewels lead-up and because he is such a good horse, if he doesn’t improve soon he will probably miss the Jewels too.”

The timing of Say My Name’s injury could hardly have been worse as the four-year-old division which looked freakish midseason has seen Auckland Cup quinella-mates Have Faith In Me and Hughie Green both pull out as well as Costa Del Magnifico, Itz Bettor To Win (exported) and Maverick.

While Field Marshal has emerged as a serious open class horse there are plenty in the division looking weary after huge seasons and Say My Name, the fresh horse on the scene, is the second favourite with the TAB, although probably not for long.

- HRNZ

Natural lightweight jockey Robbie Hannam can see the irony in him riding the topweight for tomorrow’s Gr.3 Campbell Infrastructure Rotorua Cup that has condensed weights much to the exasperation of several rival camps.

Hannam rides last-start Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) winner Authentic Paddy in the Arawa Park 2200m feature, the Lisa Latta-trained Howbaddouwantit six-year-old gelding allotted the 60.5kg topweight.

All but Bay Of Plenty Cup winner Storming The Tower (54kg) and Listed Jakkalberry Classic winner Celebrity Miss (53.5kg) will carry the 53kg minimum, with jockeys Matthew Cameron, Craig Grylls and Mark Hills among those booked for rides at that weight.

Huge savings on all Bernina sewing machines

20%

“It’s ironic, just one of those things,” Hannam said.

“I can ride 53kg no problem and it’s unfortunate for the heavier jockeys the way the weights have fallen.

“But I was always going to ride Authentic Paddy, he’s a real favourite of mine and I’m looking forward to riding him again.”

Hannam has ridden Authentic Paddy in 42 of his 54 starts and has been aboard for all 10 of his wins as well as his second in the Gr.1 Captain Cook Stakes (1600m) at Trentham earlier this seasonv and his Canterbury Gold Cup win.

“He’s on top of his game,” Hannam said.

“He’s got a big weight to carry but there’s not a lot in there, outside Celebrity Miss, that’s in his class range.

- NZME

Scrutinize returns Group performer Scrutinize is back in work and will be restricted to the shorter trips during his next campaign. “We’ll see how he comes up, but he’ll probably be kept to sprints and miles – whether he stays is a question mark in our book,” co-trainer Jamie Richards said. “He’s been gelded so hopefully he can show his true colours now.”

- NZME

Brisbane favoured In-form colt Rageese may stay at home this weekend with a trip to Queensland in mind. Raced by Windsor Park Stud with Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Rageese is among the acceptances for tomorrow’s Listed Adelaide Guineas, but he could be kept on ice by trainer Darren Weir. The Victorian trainer has the $A1.5m Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm on June 11 as a target and victory in Saturday week’s Gr.3 Fred Best Classic at Doomben would clinch a spot in Queensland’s most famous race as the winner is exempt from ballot.

- NZME

Hat-trick for Bonaparte Bonaparte is likely to get the opportunity to complete a hattrick of wins before he is turned out for the winter. The Riccarton three-year-old has beaten the older horses at his last two starts and may have a further run on his home course later this month prior to a spell. “He does like good tracks and a break will do him good after that and he will be back for the spring,” co-trainer Kevin Hughes said.

- NZME

Big week for Clark A Fascination Street win in Saturday’s Listed Cuisine Classic Rotorua Stakes (1400m) would cap an already memorable week for syndicator Adrian Clark. Clark, from Hamilton, wears several hats in the thoroughbred industry, among them managing the bloodstock interests of Nearco Stud’s Greg Tomlinson and was delighted to sell every horse offered on his behalf at this week’s National Weanling, Broodmare and Mixed Bloodstock Sale at Karaka. The banner result was the $170,000 price tag on a TavistockSentura colt sold through Curraghmore.

Playoff spots on the line

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Celtic will go into tomorrow’s penultimate round of the Combined Country Cup senior rugby competition’s round robin looking for a bonus point win which should seal their place in the playoffs.

They’ll head into the clash with Prebbleton as favourites, with Prebbleton having won just one game so far this season, but the green machine know all too well they can not take anything for granted, especially with a tough ask in front of them in the final round in the form of currently third-placed Darfield.

Celtic are currently fifth in section two, and only the top four teams in each section will go through to the quarter finals after next weekend’s final round, so coach Shane Enright and his side will be looking for a bonus point win over Prebbleton to give them a cushion.

The only potential Mid Canterbury finalists will come from section two this season, with the district’s only teams in section one – Hampstead and Methven – well down the pecking order and already out of finals contention.

But all three Mid Canterbury teams in section two have worked hard to ensure they’ve remained in the hunt, and as of today Rakaia is in fourth, Celtic fifth and Southern sixth.

Southern is four points behind Celtic and could still be a

mathematical chance of making the cut at this stage if everything goes their way, but a big win to Celtic tomorrow would put paid to that.

Southern takes on Oxford tomorrow, the team just one place below them on the points table, and with both sides having won just three of their seven outings so far this season, it could be

close. But Southern will have taken confidence from their upset win over Rakaia under lights last week and will be backing themselves for the win.

Now sitting fourth on the table following the loss to Southern, Rakaia faces Ohoka tomorrow, and going on form so far this season they should get that winning feeling back. Ohoka has won

just two matches this season, to Rakaia’s five.

Winning is something that has eluded last year’s Combined Country Cup winners Methven this season though.

They’re currently winless at the bottom of the table in section one, and life isn’t going to get any easier tomorrow when they play host to a Lincoln side which has only dropped two games so far this season.

Lincoln is currently fourth in section one, a section currently topped by unbeaten Southbridge, with Glenmark second and Burnham/Dunsandel/Irwell third.

Hampstead are currently seventh and hurting after a big loss to the third placed combination side last week, but the hurt could be about to get worse, with the unbeaten Southbridge side their opposition tomorrow, at Hampstead.

Meanwhile, back in section two it’s Waihora and Ashley who currently occupy the top two places on the leaderboard, but they’ll be separated following this round, as they take on each other at Loburn tomorrow.

This weekend’s Combined Country Cup Competition draw: Section One: Methven v Lincoln, Methven Domain, 2.45pm; Devon Tavern Hampstead v Southbridge, Hampstead, 3pm.

Section Two: Oxford v Tarbotton Contracting Southern, Oxford Oval, 2.45pm; Ohoka v Railway Tavern Rakaia, Mandeville 1, 2.45pm; Darryl Phillips Motor Company Celtic v Prebbleton, Celtic 1, 2.45pm.

■ NETBALL

Rakaia gives College a serious workout Despite their strongest start of the season, the Rakaia netball team has ended the first round of the 2016 competition winless, after College came from behind to record a narrow victory at the EA

Networks Centre last night.

Rakaia led by three at the half time mark, giving supporters hope that their season might be turning around, but stern words in the College camp saw them

come out fired up in the third quarter, in which they outscored Rakaia 13 goals to five.

College led 26-21 going into the final quarter, and while Rakaia rallied and only lost that stanza

by two goals, the damage had been done and the College girls went away with what in the end looked like a comfortable victory.

Full match reports of the night’s games in Saturday’s Guardian.

Canes stood down All Blacks Julian Savea, Cory Jane and Victor Vito are among five players dropped from the Hurricanes side to play the Reds tomorrow for breaching team protocol. The trio, as well as Ardie Savea and reserve prop Chris Eves, were not considered for selection against the Reds after breaking the team’s self-imposed curfew.

Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said the players had made a poor decision and the matter had been dealt with internally.

More Super rugby?

Further expansion of Super Rugby is an inevitable economic necessity according to New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew. “When we go to the next set of broadcasting deals we have to be sure we have a footprint in South America, a footprint in Asia and possible other markets or we will go bust because we continue to compete against clubs up here (in Europe). We have set this conference structure up so that future expansion will be possible and more sensible in terms of travel and workload but we have to break into new markets,” Tew said yesterday.

Carter’s triple in sight Daniel Carter will attempt this weekend to join a select group who have won Super Rugby, World Cup and Heineken Cup winners’ medals.

Former All Black Brad Thorn and former Springboks Bakkies Botha and Danie Rossouw are the three men who have already done so.

Carter will be the first back to claim the triple should his Racing Metro side defeat Saracens in the final of the European Champions Cup (formerly known as the Heineken Cup). This time last year he was mostly a bit part figure at secondfive for an under-performing Crusaders team.

Osborne abandons ABs Patrick Osborne has tied his test rugby ambitions to his native Fiji although he will continue to play Super Rugby for the Highlanders.

Osborne said yesterday he will play for the Kubota Spears in Japan. His Japanese deal means Osborne - a member of last year’s title-winning roster - will not play for Canterbury is this year’s provincial championship.

■ HOCKEY

Tourney with a difference Hinds’ population is set to swell this weekend with around 300 hockey players hitting town for an annual Golden Oldies Hockey Tournament.

The women’s tournament is in its 33rd year and this year it’s being hosted in Hinds for the first time, by a team called the Hinds Honeys, and it will be like the hockey of old.

There’s no fancy turf in sight, just the grass fields of the Hinds Domain which are more used to hosting rugby than hockey.

It may be a hockey tournament, but there’s a lot more to it than the

hockey. Registration will take place tonight at the Ashburton RSA, an opening ceremony will be held at 9.30am tomorrow with games to follow, and tomorrow night they’ll converge on the Ashburton Racecourse for a medieval themed dinner.

On Sunday morning teams will be back at the Hinds Domain for another game, before a lunch to finish off proceedings.

Hinds is hosting the event for the first time, but Ashburton and Methven clubs have hosted it in the past, Rob Lobb from the

Hinds Honeys said yesterday.

One team from the North Island is travelling down for the tournament – from the Wairarapa – while the rest are from the South Island, including two from Ashburton, and one each from Methven, Lauriston and, for the first time, Rakaia.

“I know there’s someone from the West Coast, someone was telling me about this lady, who has played in every tournament,” Lobb said.

Players are expected to be aged from around 35, through to women in their 70s.

The key attributes for this position include: • Sales and office experience, whilst marketing experience is an advantage • Hunting, building and maintaining valuable customer relationships • Confident in making outbound sales calls and closing a sale • Able to interact easily with people and comfortable speaking with strangers • Business acumen - Have the means to tailor your communication to different people and understand the hierarchy of a business • Understanding your clients’ needs, willing to help them with their marketing plans and contributing to their success • Exploring alternatives angles, thinking outside the box when organising your clients’ campaigns • Having a mature mind-set with a high level of common sense • Very friendly, approachable, reliable and professional • Enjoy working as part of a team • Good planning and organising abilities • Have an excellent command of the English language In return we will provide: • Full time position • Attractive base salary ($45K) + uncapped OTES’s • Great and enthusiastic business culture • Social Club The sky is the limit. There are endless opportunities.

In brief Seniors tackle Aardvarks Mid Canterbury United’s seniors will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss when they take on Universities Aardvarks in Christchurch tomorrow, in the Mainland Football division two competition. They lost 4-2 to Coastal Spirit last weekend, but remain one of the teams to beat. MCU is second on the table, behind Halswell

United and FC Twenty Bombers.

MCU play Aardvarks at Ilam Fields in Christchurch tomorrow afternoon.

Big game for Wakanui Top-of-the-table Cambridge await Wakanui Black in Timaru in this weekend’s round of the senior men’s hockey competition. The season hasn’t started well for Mid Canterbury’s two

teams – Wakanui Black is currently fourth, and Wakanui Blue fifth and last – with both only having one win after five rounds. Wakanui Blue has the bye.

In senior women’s hockey action, both Hampstead and Hampstead/Collegians are at home. Hampstead is currently second on the table and they’ll host Geraldine at 1.30pm, before third placed Hampstead/Collegians takes on tabletoppers Timaru Girls’ High School.

Applications close Friday, May 20.

13/5 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can see the event in your review mirror, but to understand how the events are connected, the view from an airplane is better. Distance plus altitude equals perspective.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): A relationship will keep you guessing. One minute you’ll be enthralled, the next baffled; then comes a heated exchange between you and another person or you and your heart.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s good to give. It’s even better to give knowing that the favour will never be returned. Best of all will be an anonymous gift: That’s the kind that will have the most impact.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It’s the usual question on everyone’s mind today: “What’s in it for me?”

Don’t make your sales pitch or request until you can answer that one in a multitude of ways.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This afternoon features a steady stream of distractions, including but not limited to: phone calls, emails, enticing offers of every kind. Get at least three tasks accomplished by lunch.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your interests overlap, and your future goals could, too. While it’s still too early to make or receive a solid offer, it’s fun to let the possibilities dance between you for a while.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Any learning process that’s worthwhile will have its frustrations to overcome. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. And remember, people pay a hefty price for the things that not everyone can do.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): This principle will apply: People in love prefer hanging out to going out. They want the one-on-one time and enjoy the concentrated personal attention that goes hand-inhand with a less-stimulating environment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There’s a reason someone annoys you so easily, and it has to do with history. Avoid, prepare, defend ... or irritation could turn into something much worse.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If you’re more interested in the possibilities than the reality, that says something about the reality. A change of venue will be a far faster solution than trying to fix what’s wrong with where you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When the way you want to be shown respect differs from how a partner wants to show you respect, the remedy is in clear, kind and concise communication.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There’s peace on the relationship front. A troublesome friendship irons out. Couples strike mutually satisfying compromises. Neighbours let old differences go.

Mark Gorman delves into the depths of Alistair Rogers’ Subaru WRX at scrutineering last night for the Ashburton Car Club’s street sprints, one of the jewels in the crown of Ashburton’s Wheels Week.

Tim Cook finally shook off the bridesmaid tag to win his maiden Ashburton Car Club Street Sprints title in 2015, and this weekend he’s back to defend that title.

Cook, a member of the Ashburton Car Club, and last year’s second and third place getters – former winner Glenn Frew, from Southland, and Temuka’s Stan Moore – are all back for another go at the title.

They form part of a strong 40car field which is set to provide two days of exciting motorsport

action at Ashburton’s Riverside Industrial Park.

Ashburton Car Club president and AutoSparks Street Sprints organiser Shayne Adams said entries always filled up fast, and this year was no exception.

They had 40 entries within a week.

“We’ve had about 10 on the waiting list, and unfortunately some have had to pull out for mechanical reasons, so most of those ones on the waiting list have got in,” Adams said.

The field features a mix of past winners, newcomers, and drivers

Hannam on the topweight P15

young and old, who are coming from as far afield as Nelson and Outram to take part.

Adams said the title was anyone’s for the taking and it all depended on what happened on the day.

“One slip-up and you’re in the hay bales, and that’s your weekend done,” he said.

Drivers are guaranteed four timed runs over Saturday, and Sunday morning, before the elimination runs start, where the top 32 will be cut down to the top two.

Those two will then race in a final shoot-out late on Sunday af-

ternoon, to determine the winner.

The street sprints are a popular event on the motorsport calendar; organisers have worked hard to make it that way.

“A lot of people say it’s the best street sprints in the South Island, if not the country,” Adams said.

But it’s not a cheap event to put on, costing around $20,000, and for the past four years the club has asked spectators for a gold coin donation upon entry.

They’re doing that again this year, with a portion of the proceeds to go to the Mania-o-Roto Scouts.

Scrutineering of the cars took place last night, to ensure they’re ready to tackle the circuit come tomorrow.

Racing will get under way at about 8.15am tomorrow, and will be finished up by 5pm, as the car club is – for the second year in a row – hosting a second event tomorrow night.

They’re running a night autocross on a section of the street sprints circuit from 6pm.

Racing will restart again by 8.30am on Sunday with the winner likely to be crowned around 4.30pm.
