Schools to air concerns over growing rolls BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury principals will meet with Ministry of Education representatives at the end of October to address concerns about growing school rolls in the region. The population boom in Mid Canterbury has had a significant effect on schools, with Methven Primary School expecting half of its roll to consist of five and six year olds by the end of 2015. Several schools across the region have added new classrooms and teaching staff to meet the growing demand, but it’s hoped the meeting with ministry staff on October 30 will provide a more concrete solution. Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy said the meeting was looking at the “big picture” and coming to grips with roll growth. According to Mr Murphy, two topics up for discussion would be school zoning and transport entitlement zones, which were contentious issues in the region. Mr Murphy said principals were in a situation where they were considering their own options. “There are some principals that are very pro-zoning, and there are some

principals that are completely anti-zoning,” he said. School zoning could mean parents had limited or no choice about where they sent their children to school, depending on where they lived. Mr Muphy believed rural schools were less likely to be affected than schools in town. “It’s really the town schools that have things to gain or lose,” he said. Mr Murphy said zoning may not solve the growth issue if all schools reached capacity. “The kids have got to go to school somewhere. If all schools are at capacity, it’s just shifting the problem around,” he said. Ministry of Education head of sector enablement and support Katrina Casey said it was important to the ministry that schools had what they needed to effectively manage roll growth in their area. “Some schools are expected to have static rolls, others are expected to have slight increases,” she said. Ms Casey said it was too early to say yet what options might be looked at, and it would be an issue for schools to discuss.

Swift and Kiwi guy

A primary school teacher from New Zealand flirted with Taylor Swift on the Graham Norton Show. Ben Wombwell, from Dunedin, was a guest in the British talkshow host’s red chair segment in the latest episode of the top-rating show. But Wombwell found himself getting special attention from Swift after introducing himself. “Kiwis are the best. Where is he? Where can we find him?” said the American singer before being told to “settle down” by Norton. Wombwell mock-adjusted his collar after hearing Swift’s quip. His story, about being accidentally grabbed in the crotch by a girl, was deemed good enough to not get tipped out of Norton’s infamous red chair.

Honesty rewarded with All Black jersey An Auckland sandwich bar worker never thought reporting lost bank cards would see him receive a hand-delivered, signed All Black jersey. But that’s exactly what happened to rugby fan Arjun Sharma this week. Mr Sharma, 24, was working at Subway Mangere Bridge on Saturday afternoon when All Black Steven Luatua stopped in for a chicken sandwich. Hours after the Auckland flanker had left, Mr Sharma found a wallet. “I couldn’t find any type of contact number in his wallet so I thought I better call the bank with his card number.”

Oh baby, we need you A blonde baby girl is desperately needed to feature alongside Hollywood A-listers Michael Fassbender and Rachel Weisz in a film being made in the South Island. Created by DreamWorks, The Light Between Oceans is being shot in Marlborough and Otago. But the Herald understands filming has had to be put on hold until an 11- to 13-month-old-girl is found to play a young version of a child washed ashore on an isolated island and adopted by a husband and wife living there. A call has gone out for a “happy and sociable” girl with “blonde or very little hair”. The child and her family will need to travel to the South Island “for a few days” from today, and the role will be “well paid”. It is believed that twin girls originally hired did not work out as they could not be away from their parents without a pacifier. The Light Between Oceans is based on a book of the same title by Australian writer M.L. Stedman, about a lighthouse keeper and his wife who live on a remote island off Western Australia. The couple, played by Fassbender and Weisz, find a boat washed ashore carrying a dead man and an infant. They keep the child, but years later discover the consequences as the baby’s real story unfolds.

DeVito recruited for music video One Direction will star opposite Danny DeVito in the music video for their new single Steal My Girl. The actor is playing a director in the promo, which will reportedly parody the process of making a music video and several behindthe-scenes pictures were released via the One Direction Twitter account on October 10. “Most of the footage was shot on location in the desert ... The boys hit it off with Danny immediately and he really made them all laugh. Louis mucked (played) around with him loads and started following him on Twitter so they can stay in touch,” a source tells Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. Both parties were clearly excited about the project as DeVito posted a number of snaps with the boys to his own Twitter page and Niall Horan wrote, “Can’t believe that Hollywood royalty @ DannyDevito is in the steal my girl video! What a legend! (sic)” The promo will be released at the end of October.

Ed Sheeran slept rough British pop star Ed Sheeran slept on the street outside Buckingham Palace in London as a homeless teenager. The Sing hitmaker spent two years drifting as he struggled to forge a career in the music industry, and he has now revealed he slept rough outside the royal residence. In his new book A Visual Journey, Sheeran writes, “There was an arch outside Buckingham Palace that has a heating duct and I spent a couple of nights there. The singer returned to Buckingham Palace to perform at Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012.

‘Big boys to battle it out’

■ NEW COUNTDOWN SUPERMARKET

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A concept intersection design for Progressive Enterprises new Countdown planned for the corner of South and East streets in Ashburton. A traffic management proposal filed as part of a resource consent application for the project would see traffic signals installed at the intersection.

Lights conflict rejected By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A set of traffic lights planned for State Highway one near Ashburton’s new South Street supermarket, will have no impact on securing traffic lights on the state highway in Tinwald Ashburton mayor Angus McKay says. The Ashburton District Council has been pushing for lights in Tinwald for several years and is currently working with the New Zealand Transport Agency to develop a business case that looks at a variety of traffic solutions, one of which is signals.

Progressive Enterprises plans to construct a Countdown supermarket on the South Street site, formerly home to Rural Transport. It has lodged an application for a resource consent and this includes a plan for traffic movement around the site, including an upgrade for the T-intersection with State Highway One and the installation of traffic signals. While it might appear Progressive Enterprises has achieved what the council has been unable to in terms of traffic lights, Mr McKay said the difference in the two projects came down to private enterprise

versus local authority. “The supermarket will cause traffic problems with the state highway so NZTA is asking the supermarket to install lights, and they’ll have to pay for those lights,” he said. “For us with Tinwald, we have to work away with NZTA to come up with the best solutions for traffic problems for the community.” Mr McKay believes the South Street lights will not impact on the success of the Tinwald project. “It’s clear that if the supermarket goes in, something has to be done at this corner and

this is the solution NZTA has come up with. They’re the state highway corner and if they believe this is the best solution, it’s the one we have to go along with.” The supermarket project had been a long time in the making and the traffic solution had been well worked through. The difference between the two projects came down to a private developer paying all the costs for traffic management work and a local authority working through the best outcome for a project that would be funded through NZTA, Mr McKay said.

Two cars collide By DaiSy HuDSoN

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Two drivers were lucky to escape injury after a car was flipped on its side at the intersection of Manchester and Archibald streets in Tinwald yesterday morning. A diversion for south bound traffic was put into place after the crash, which police said appeared to be the result of a failure to give way. Ashburton chief fire officer Allan Burgess said fire crews were called to ensure the scene was safe, as oil was leaking onto the road. Two fire appliances and one ambulance attended the scene, but neither driver required hospitalisation.

Over his 40 plus years in the grocery business, Allenton Four Square owner Brent MacGregor has seen the arrival of the supermarket and in its wake, the demise of the corner store. When he started out in business there were 22 grocery businesses in town. The first supermarket arrived, a Supervalue in the Triangle (this later relocated to a site now occupied by Briscoes). As that first supermarket flourished, small time grocers fell by the wayside. He traded through the arrival of Countdown and the later arrival of New World. And he watched as more small businesses closed. Today he’s watching as a third big player signals it’s coming to town and he knows there’s likely to be a fourth in the wings. All of those will have an impact on existing businesses, Mr MacGregor said. He believes this time round, it will be the smaller businesses at Allenton, Netherby and in Tinwald that will weather the trading wars storm the best. They have become more niche in nature and know their business is largely from ‘top-up shopping’ rather than their customers’ big weekly shop. They also have a big customer base from non-drivers and the elderly. “This is going to end up a battle between the big boys. The customer pie is only so big and it’s inevitable the other two supermarkets will take a hit,” Mr MacGregor said. Yes, the new supermarket will create more than 100 new jobs, but some of those will come at the expense of jobs at Ashburton’s other two supermarkets, he said. “The new one will go well, that’s like anything new, but the others will be affected, they must.” He’s also concerned that the new supermarket can unveil its plans, complete with traffic signals at the South Street T-intersection, while the Ashburton District Council appears locked in a battle with the New Zealand Transport Agency to have signals installed just two kilometres south on State Highway one in Tinwald. Mr MacGregor believes the supermarket wars won’t be over when the new Countdown opens its doors, with Foodstuffs already owning land at the north end of West Street.

In brief

Dealing with roll boom By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s population boom is continuing to affect the region’s schools, with Hampstead School the latest to signal changes. A new classroom for new entrants opened in the school library on the first day of the new term yesterday, a new teacher has been hired, and there are more changes proposed for 2015. Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said the school had lodged a claim with the Ministry of Education for new classrooms, and while he would like to see three additional teaching spaces at the school, he was expecting just one to be approved. “We could do with two, three would be even better. Three just gives us that additional space,” he said. The school also has plans to renovate four classrooms between 2015-2016, at an estimated cost of $500,000. Hampstead School’s roll currently sits at 365 pupils, and Mr Melrose said the roll had continued to grow consistently over the years. He said the school would be

When it comes to planning the economic future of the Ashburton District, every person has a role to play says Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley. Last month Grow Mid Canterbury released its long awaited draft economic strategy, the document that will eventually spell out how the district develops in the future. While the Ashburton District’s economy might be one of the most rapidly growing in New Zealand, it would take careful planning to ensure it continued not only to do well, but to maintain that growth into the future, Mr Brawley said. The draft strategy was based on known data and while that could lay out a path for the future, for an economic strategy to be successful, it had to be one that people in the district believed in and understood, he said. The strategy is now in the public domain and while feedback had been positive, written responses, ideas and comments

Katrina Casey recently told the Ashburton Guardian that schools across the district had experienced growing rolls across all age groups as a re-

sult of population changes in the area, and the ministry had been meeting with schools in the district to discuss current and future roll growth.

were slow to come in. “We want people saying what is good, what is missing and what they want to see. This is a community strategy and we’ll continue going around the district promoting it and talking about it.” Mr Brawley says he is keen to tap into the knowledge of retirees who have lived, worked or owned businesses in the district. “There’s a wealth of knowledge out there in the community and we need to channel this wise opinion and life experience,” he said. He’s leaving the close-off date for responses open-ended but intends to have the strategy firmed up by March and signed off by the end of June. “The strategy isn’t a road map. It will be constantly changing as the community changes. Things are going well now but we have a choice and a chance to tailor the future to suit ourselves.” Good planning meant the district would be well placed to deal with economic changes and challenges in the future, Mr Brawley said.

Cunliffe stands down David Cunliffe has announced he is withdrawing from the Labour Party leadership contest. Speaking at his electorate office in West Auckland yesterday, Mr Cunliffe said it had been a hard decision but within the wider interests of the party, and he was backing Andrew Little for the leadership. “I believe that although I retained support broadly around the party, the time has come to step aside.” Flanked by two Labour MPs, William Sio and Nanaia Mahuta, Mr Cunliffe said he made the decision last week after Mr Little put his hat in the ring. Mr Cunliffe said he would remain as an MP in Parliament for his seat of New Lynn. But Mr Little would achieve “greater cohesion” within the party, he said. “It has been an absolute privilege to lead the New Zealand Labour Party.” He said his family was “staunchly behind” his decision and he’d now be putting his full support behind Mr Little. Mr Little said Mr Cunliffe had done the right thing by withdrawing. “I think it’s the right thing

The Westpac Rescue helicopter made four flights to the Ashburton District last week. On Wednesday it transferred a 69-year-old male patient from Ashburton Hospital to Christchurch Hospital and on Sunday it was called to Mt Hutt skifield to transfer a 40-year-old man with a neck injury also to Christchurch Hospital. Two flights were made into the back country yesterday, one when an 18-year-old male was air lifted to hospital after injuring his knee in a jet boat accident on the Rakaia River and the second to the Mathias River to take a 19-yearold man with head lacerations to hospital.

for the party and for himself, actually.” He said it had become clear Mr Cunliffe was unlikely to be able to make the changes the party needed to lift its support among the wider population. Asked about Mr Cunliffe’s endorsement of him, Mr Little said he appreciated any support he could get but it would still be a challenge to secure the leadership. He repeated he was not offering positions to MPs before the leadership vote was held and had not offered Mr Cunliffe anything. Despite that, Mr Cunliffe’s endorsement could help Mr Little among the party’s broader membership, especially in Mr Cunliffe’s Auckland stronghold. “I appreciate any support I can get. It’s always welcome but I’ve still got my work cut out for me to convince those who are wondering if I’ve got enough experience in Parliament.” Mr Cunliffe secured a large proportion of the union vote last time, but much of that was expected to swing to Mr Little instead. - APNZ

An alleged firebug behind three suspicious fires in the Canterbury township of Darfield was caught after farmers, volunteer firefighters and police trapped him with a coordinated pincer movement. A barn was severely damaged, a tree line was set alight, and a tractor suffered significant damage during the three blazes on McLauglins Road at the weekend. Local farmers and volunteer firefighters helped police establish cordons, provided local knowledge and sightings of a suspect, which helped with the search, police said yesterday. One of the volunteer firefighters offered to fly his helicopter over the area to help locate the suspect, who was found around three hours later within the cordon boundary. A 24-year old local man has been charged with two counts of arson and one of wilful damage. He will appear in Christchurch District Court next month. - APNZ

Waiau Hotel owner Quinton Donald said the quake was relatively minor. “It was a shimmering kind of quake, there were no jolts or anything like that.” A Fire Service spokesman said there were no immediate reports of damage. - APNZ

■ YERSINIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS OUTBREAK

Bagged carrots, lettuce blamed By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

“Are your carrots safe to eat?” That’s the first question customers ask greengrocer Simon Talbot and he’s thankful he can answer with a simple “yes”. Over the past two weeks almost 130 people across New Zealand have been hospitalised with a severe strain of gastroenteritis, yersinia pseudotuberculosis, believed to have been caused by eating bagged carrots and lettuces. The products have been identified as from one grower and supplied to one supermarket chain. For Mr Talbot, there was never any question that his shop could have stocked the suspect product. “Ours all come from Southland. We buy directly from the grower and they don’t come pre-bagged, we pack everything in store,” he said. Customers, however, have been cautious with many asking plenty of questions before buying either vegetable, Mr Talbot said. He’s been happy to field questions on the safety of his produce. “The last thing you want is people getting sick.” Carrots sold at Ashburton’s New World were also clear of

Spring house sales, prices soar Spring arrived with a vengeance in the Ashburton District’s real estate market with more than $14 million worth of houses changing hands. The median price of homes sold rocketing up 25 per cent too hit a new median high of $334,750. The increase in the median price of houses sold outstripped the rest of Canterbury over 2013. The number of houses sold during the month, however, dropped from 55 to 43. The district also significantly outstripped the increase in prices, nationally, for September. The national median

is now $420,000, up 5 per cent. Sales volumes mirrored the Ashburton trend, dropping by 12 per cent. Real estate institute chief executive Helen O’Sullivan said sales volumes had fallen nationally for 11 straight months. Across the country agents were reporting a lack of new listings, with the lack of choice frustrating would-be buyers, she said. For Canterbury it took an average of 30 days to sell a house, the shortest in the country, with Central Otago homes taking the longest time to find new owners, 71 days.

more concerned about protecting the reputation of supermarkets than the health of Kiwi consumers. Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Alister Humphrey has confirmed that the bagged lettuce and carrots causing the outbreak of gastroenteritis were from one particular supermarket chain. He revealed the two vegetables as the source of the outbreak in spite of a Ministry of Primary Industries directive they should remain underwraps. By refusing to name names, Dr Humphrey said the ministry was putting the people’s health at risk. The Ministry of Primary industries, however, says the outbreak is not linked to any one supermarket chain. “We are getting a lot of information, building a picture and investigating many avenues, deputy director general regulation and assurance Scott Gallacher said. Of 96 people surveyed only eight recalled eating a specific product, 87 had purchased lettuce. The outbreak of stomach complaint had peaked in midSeptember, but people should follow normal food safety practices, keep fresh food chilled and wash fruit and vegetables before eating, he said.

■ RED HAT SOCIETY

In brief

Red hatters set to converge By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton will be awash with red hats this weekend, with the national Red Hat Society convention hitting town on Friday. The three-day event will see 225 members from Australia and New Zealand converging on Ashburton for the annual event, which will be held in Mid Canterbury for the first time. The Red Hat Society is an international movement which involves members coming together to enjoy each other’s company whilst wearing red hats and purple dresses. The Ashburton branch have named themselves the Plains Dames. A shop window display, parade, and “knees-up” are just some of the events planned for the convention, which has been given the slogan ‘Red Hat Country Hoe-Down’.

Waka find ‘significant’ The discovery of an historic waka unearthed from Papanui Inlet on the Otago Peninsula was a “significant find”, a local kaumatua says. A waka – believed to be a fishing waka (waka hi ika) – measuring 6.17m was excavated from the edge of the inlet over the weekend, and was now in storage. Otakou runanga kaumatua Edward Ellison said discovery of the waka hi ika was an “exciting find”. The discovery “sheds new light to the historical use and occupation of the Papanui Inlet and surrounds”, he said. - APNZ

A woman has been arrested after petrol was poured on a Manawatu District Council staff member yesterday. Feilding police Detective Felicity Cato said they were called to the incident in Feilding shortly after 8.30am after receiving reports that an agitated woman armed with a can of petrol and a lighter had poured the petrol onto the council reception counter and onto a staff member, before pouring more petrol throughout other parts of the building. The woman believed to be responsible was arrested shortly after and the building was evacuated, Ms Cato said. She is to appear in court facing a variety of charges. Ms Cato said thankfully no-one had been injured in the incident, and the staff member soaked with petrol had been left shaken but was otherwise unharmed. Staff were now receiving appropriate support, Ms Cato said. As a result of the incident, the council building would be closed for the rest of the day while the Fire Service ventilated and decontaminated the building. The Public Service Association (PSA) released a statement following the petrol attack saying the lessons learned from the Ashburton Winz killings must be applied wider than the core public service. PSA national secretary Richard Wagstaff described the Manawatu Council attack as “utterly reprehensible”. He said frontline staff in local government and district health boards faced the same risks as those in the core public service, and the lessons learned from the review into the safety of Ministry of Social Development staff must be implemented more widely. - APNZ

The jihad group’s latest call to arms in its propaganda magazine, Dabiq, says it is very important that attacks take place in every country that has entered into the alliance against the Islamic State, especially the US, UK, France, Australia and Germany. “Every Muslim should get out of his house, find a crusader and kill him,” says the publication. - AAP

Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrators have clashed with dozens of masked men at the main protest site in the city centre as police struggled to contain the chaos. Masked men rushed barricades at the Admiralty site yesterday as protesters tried to guard the barriers and push the men back. Two of the men were tackled to the ground by police, who also formed a cordon around the masked group as protesters shouted: “Weapons! Weapons!” and “Arrest the triads”. - AFP

and were due to last well into today. Thousands of people had marched on Saturday in St Louis and Ferguson. Brown was shot at least six times by police officer Darrell Wilson, and his body was left lying in the street for several

hours. The incident led to weeks of violence in the St Louis suburb of 21,000, which has an African-American majority and an overwhelmingly white police department and town government. Some demonstrators com-

plained that police used severe and undue force during peaceful protests. Brown’s death prompted a nationwide discussion about race issues and led to a Department of Justice probe into the Ferguson police department. - AFP

Church grilled over ‘blind reports’ at PIC The Catholic Church has been accused of going against the wishes of sex abuse victims by not providing key information to investigators, an inquiry has heard. The Police Integrity Commission has also heard the practice of “blind reporting” a process by which allegations of child sexual abuse were reported to police without identifying the victim - was open to misconduct and may have been in breach of the NSW Crimes Act. In her opening address yesterday, counsel assisting Kristina Stern SC said the vast majority of complainants were not advised by the church’s Professional Standards Resource Group (PSRG) to take their complaint to the police.

In brief

■ UNITED STATES

Seventeen people have been arrested in the US city of St Louis during protests over the shooting death of a black teenager by a white officer. Thousands of people took to the streets and held vigils as part of a so-called “weekend of resistance” which was staged in anger over the August 9 death of Michael Brown in the nearby suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. Tensions flared further last week after another African American teen, Vonderrit Deondre Myres, was shot dead by an off-duty white policeman in St Louis. In that case, the 18-year-old was armed and fired at the officer, authorities say. Overnight, Saturday to Sunday, protesters were taken into custody when they tried to stage a sit-in in the car park of a convenience shop. “Last night, there were 17 arrests for Unlawful Assembly,” the St Louis police department said on Twitter. Police chief Sam Dotson said protesters were “throwing rocks at the police,” condemning their “continued illegal behaviour”. But marchers and supporters denied any rocks were thrown and accused police of acting like “hooligans”, saying officers pepper-sprayed people filming the sit-in. The protests began on Friday

ops, the PSRG, which included members of the police force, was set up to advise the church’s Professional Standards Office (PSO) on child sexual abuse cases involving clergy and others. The former head of the PSO, John Davoren, told the inquiry the only reason complaints weren’t passed to police was if the victim said that’s what they wanted. But Mr Davoren was shown a PSO document containing a complaint of sex abuse against a priest. The document said the woman did not want police notified, when in fact she did. Mr Davoren agreed it was inaccurate to say she didn’t want to talk to police. He said he had no record of her saying she had changed her mind about police involvement. The commission also heard

other instances where the express wishes of complainants of sex abuse that their reports be used to corroborate allegations were omitted from blind reports. The commission heard of one instance where someone made a complaint to the PSO of sex abuse involving an 11-year-old girl. A statement of complaint form in 1999 clearly indicated the complainant intended to notify the police. But information that the complainant wanted her report to be used in corroboration was not included in the blind reporting form provided to police. Mr Davoren was asked if he was ever advised by police the blind reporting system was incongruent with the NSW Crimes Act. “I was not given that advice,” he said.

The inquiry will also look at whether there was a memorandum of understanding between police and the church concerning the handling of abuse claims. The commission heard that at a PSRG meeting on 9 January 1997, Father Brian Lucas, now head of the Catholic Bishops Conference, told committee members “agreements were being reached” between police and the church. The inquiry will examine the conduct of the former chair of the professional standards resource group, Inspector Elizabeth Cullen. The commission will look at her role in ensuring that all information held by the Catholic Church in relation to child sexual abuse or sexual offences was appropriately reported to police and investigated. The hearings are expected to continue until Friday. - AAP

Two Cambodian police officers and a soldier have been arrested in the murder of a journalist who was investigating illegal logging, local media reports say. The body of Taing Try, 47, was discovered on Sunday shot in the head in the northeastern province of Kratie, where he was investigating reports that oxcarts had been delivering hardwood lumber to a warehouse at night. The warehouse was owned by the area’s military police chief, it said. - DPA

NATO convoy attacked A suicide bomber has targeted a NATO convoy in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, killing an Afghan civilian but causing no casualties among foreign troops, officials say. The explosion struck around dawn in Kabul’s east, on the road to the city of Jalalabad, Afghan authorities said. - AFP

Nationalists ahead Nationalist candidates of Bosnia’s Croats, Muslims and Serbs are in front in the race for the country’s tripartite presidency, partial results show. Bakir Izetbegovic, head of the main Muslim SDA party, looks set to win his second term as the Muslim member of the joint presidency. Izetbegovic, son of Bosnia’s late wartime leader Alija Izetbegovic, won 33.16 per cent of the votes, according to results based on almost 77 per cent of ballots counted yesterday. - AFP

Security Council seats Years of campaigning for a seat at the world’s “top table” come to a head this week when elections are held to the UN Security Council, which decides on such weighty matters as sanctions, war and peace.

OUR VIEW

Act now to keep Santa Parade Stu Oldham

EDITOR

shburton people must act now to assure the future of the Santa Parade. They need to make it clear that they value the parade, that they want it to continue and that it is worth someone taking a punt on getting the support they will need to organise the next one. Losing the parade would be a natural consequence of losing the business group that used to organise it, but it would also be an indictment on a growing town with so many kids. Losing the parade will mean losing the chance to make some special memories for a new generation of Mid Cantabrians who, we hope, will start their own families in Ashburton. If we lose the parade, we lose an institution that brings our community together and shows how proud we are to have so many good people willing to do what they can to put smiles on faces. The parade used to be organised by the Ashburton Business Association but, now that it has disbanded, it is being organised by the association’s former chairwoman. The 2015 parade is in doubt. The parade might be an unnatural fit for the group that replaces the association, Business Mid Canterbury, so it is time for a rethink. Previously, the parade was held on Sunday and most shops stayed closed. A Christmas shopping day would help retailers get something out of supporting the parade. If the parade brings shoppers it might encourage more sponsor support. A sponsor might even take it on themselves. Elsewhere, sponsors have either paid a co-ordinator or organised entirely the local parades. In other centres, parades are organised by event-specific committees, or community, or charity groups. Either way, the parade is their major focus or the reason the group exists in the first place. Whatever happens, the parade will have to come into focus in our community if we want to keep it. There is no point remembering the smiles on children’s faces when they are gone.

YOUR VIEW New supermarket A new supermarket ($20 million supermarket for Ashburton, Ashburton Guardian, October 11) and suddenly it becomes clearer why Ashburton District Council are pushing for a second bridge at the opposite end of South Street – and what a grand entrance to the town – truly inspiring. What I’d ask Mr McKay, is how long the council have been aware of these plans just to ensure community sustainability is in line with his theory of supermarkets being “sustainable services”? In addition perhaps he’d like to expand on the council’s environmental policy relating to its justification and obvious constant encouragement of strip development in which the increased need for car use results while, at the same time, fragmenting the CBD. Sustainable? It should be a short read! Ed Gates Ashburton District Mayor Angus Mc-

CRUMB

Kay responds: In the story Mr Gates refers to I was talking about the need for health and education to be sustainable services in a growth district. In relation to his other questions: Council staff have been in discussions for some time with Progressive Enterprises, which is standard process with any proposed developments that may, or may not, proceed to the application stage. The application submitted by Progressive will be decided on by an independent commissioner. The application is being publically notified this Thursday and the public can have their say on the application through a submission and hearing process. People willing to invest in this district are always welcome in my office to talk about what they wish to do. The bridge and possible supermarket are not connected. The reasons for a new bridge is about enabling better traffic management, safety and access.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Did you watch Bathurst? Yes 62%

No 38%

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

Today’s online poll question Q: Are you concerned about terrorism in New Zealand?

guess you’d expect me to be writing about the latest drop in GlobalDairyTrade and the lower milk price we farmers will be getting this season. To be honest that’s all I was asked about for the past few months, and I am over it. I imagine most dairy farmers are over it too. The question is like the media going up to a person whose house is burnt to the ground and asking “how do you feel?” The reality we all have to live with is that the world is a volatile place and we will get lots of ups and downs. China was a factor since its government used to give low-interest loans for certain sectors allowing speculators to jump in and stockpile dairy. That door has slammed shut and thankfully for us, dairy is perishable. Yet just as we got through that the Eastern Ukraine turned ugly. So tit-for-tat sanctions that had absolutely nothing to do with dairy has effectively put up to three billion more litres on to the international marketplace. That’s why GDT is down. Yes, the move towards more value add will reduce this but it will never eliminate it. Even Tatua, the value-add star of our industry, is forecasting a more circumspect $6.50 per kilogram of milksolids. That’s down from the all-time record of $9 last season. So here are a few facts to make us feel a little better. The 2014 Tetrapak Dairy Index says global milk volume has to grow 36 per cent within the next 10 years just to keep up with the 2.3 more mouths joining the human race each second over those leaving it. But instead of going on about this, I want to talk about a new issue I suspect a number of farmers will nod in agreement with when they read it.

Especially those in Canterbury. That issue is cellphone coverage since smartphones are increasingly more important for farmers in their job. Being a farmer representative, I seem to have developed as close a relationship to my phone as I have with my wife. Two years ago we had marginal coverage on my farm, so I had a phone but really that was just for use when I went to town. That was until Federated Farmers’ partner Vodafone got stuck in and suddenly I had coverage all over the farm. Bloody marvellous. I could finally live the dream and even got on to Twitter. A fully-connected phone helps me to speak to media as a Federated Farmers’ representative while being on-farm with an artificial insemination technician. I also wrote the draft of this column while getting the cows in, putting to bed the lie that blokes can’t multi-task. Smartphones are more and more important for straight up farming, with many apps now available. I have turned the small mountain of paperwork farmers are expected to fill in, into electronic forms instead. I

can also record all the other information we’re interested in, like useful farm information online; if any of my staff need to know how to fix something then they can readily access written notes, photos or even the right YouTube video. Even Fonterra’s smartphone app provides their farmer-shareholders with farm production and quality information. Not only do we bank online, but Xero and MYOB offer financial dashboards so that you can use your phone to check your budgets. With precision agriculture using apps to control irrigation and fertiliser mapping, it won’t be long before remote control of your Skybox takes home automaton out on-farm to report and even control fence voltage, water pressure, tank levels and vat temperatures. To help plan your day, you’ll be able to use an app to fly a drone over your property whilst your cuppa cools. This all means that instead of spending time collecting data to make decisions, the data will come to you in a form that gives you more time to make better decisions. People also say that you don’t know what you’ve got until

it’s gone and I spent last week in the “Third World” while Vodafone upgraded “my” tower as part of the Rural Broadband Initiative. Scratch that, former Feds board member Jeanette Maxwell found coverage in the third world was way better than Canterbury. When you put almost nonexistent cellphone coverage together with power cuts, it has you doing a John McEnroe “you cannot be serious”. New Zealand is so vulnerable to kinks in two bits of infrastructure. Of course, Cantabrians will respond that at least I’ve mostly got 1G voice. I know when I go to Canterbury it’s hard to drive or even be on-farm and have a conversation that doesn’t drop or sound like it’s two cans connected by a length of string. While the RBI promises “bigger, better and brighter” it overlooks that there’s places in New Zealand that need reliable 1G let alone 4G and that’s a question Federated Farmers needs to ask.

■ SOUTH CANTERBURY FINANCE TRIAL

Reserved verdict released today By KurT Bayer Ashburton investors who lost their savings in the collapse of South Canterbury Finance will find out today the fate of the three businessmen accused of masterminding the “biggest fraud in New Zealand’s history”. Former South Canterbury Finance (SCF) chief executive Lachie McLeod, 50, and two of the company’s former directors, lawyer Edward Sullivan, 72, and accountant Robert White, 70, deny a $1.6 billion fraud. The trial in the High Court at Timaru, which concluded on August 18, spanned 61 days of evidence over five months. Justice Paul Heath will release his reserved verdict in the High Court at Timaru at 9.30am today. The Crown alleged actions by the three accused “contributed directly” to SCF’s collapse on August 31, 2010. Because of the company’s participation in the Crown re-

Justice Paul Heath will release his reserved verdict in the High Court at Timaru at 9.30am today.

argued the trio were never questioned over SCF’s entry into the Crown retail deposit guarantee scheme. Nor were they given the chance to explain what had in fact happened back in 2008 and the role they had played. “That people can be charged with the biggest fraud in our history without being given the chance to explain is nothing short of mind-boggling,” the defence said in their joint closing submissions. Long-time SCF chairman, Timaru financier Allan Hubbard, died after a September 2011 car crash, aged 83 – just months after the SFO laid 50 fraud charges against him. The Crown alleged Hubbard “had little interest” in meeting accounting or legal requirements, and that McLeod, Sullivan and White “did not just turn a blind eye” but took affirmative actions that breached the controls on the company. - APNZ

The New Zealand dollar may decline this week as investors reduce their holdings of riskier currencies amid concern about slower global growth. The kiwi will probably trade between 76 US cents and 80 cents this week, according to a BusinessDesk survey of 10 traders and strategists. Five predict the kiwi will fall this week, while three pick it to gain and two say it will remain largely unchanged. It recently traded at 78.39 US cents. Currency markets have been volatile as investors grow jittery over the outlook for global growth. With a lack of major economic data scheduled for release this week, all eyes will be on central bank speakers from Europe, the US and Australia. Meanwhile in New Zealand, Fonterra Cooperative Group’s GlobalDairyTrade auction will be closely watched amid speculation a further drop in prices could see the world’s largest dairy exporter forced to again cut its forecast milk price to local farmers, weighing on the economy. “There’s not much economic information in New Zealand, the dairy auction is probably going to be the main event,” said Imre Speizer, senior market strategist at Westpac Banking Corp in New Zealand. “It’s fairly sparse on the economics front which means global sentiment

will probably dominate.” Last week on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 2.7 per cent, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index sank 3.1 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 4.5 per cent as the International Monetary Fund downgraded its global outlook and disappointing data from Germany raised concern the euro-zone’s largest economy is headed for a recession.

from other central bank speakers this week, including Fed Chair Janet Yellen who is scheduled to speak on Friday.

The global recovery continues, but is uneven and weakerthan-expected, and downside risks have increased

“The global recovery continues, but is uneven and weakerthan-expected, and downside risks have increased,” the International Monetary and Financial Committee said. “A number of countries face the prospect of low or slowing growth, with unemployment remaining unacceptably high.” Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer warned the US central bank might not raise interest rates as fast as expected if economic growth overseas falls short of expectations. Westpac’s Speizer said he will be keeping an eye on speeches

Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota. As well as the dairy auction on Thursday, New Zealand also has data on September manufacturing and consumer confidence. Meanwhile, Australia has business confidence tomorrow and consumer confidence on Wednesday. Elsewhere, Chinese trade today, German economic sentiment tomorrow, US retail sales on Wednesday and European inflation and exports on Thursday will also be of interest. - BusinessDesk

Butterflies, moths need our help Butterflies and moths play an important ecological role, but like bees, are under pressure from intensive agricultural practices and urbanisation. A community event at Lincoln University’s Biological Husbandry Unit (BHU) on Sunday has been organised to raise awareness of the plight of these insects. The serious issues facing bee colonies are well documented, but less well known is the ecological contribution butterflies and moths make, and the fact that they are also under threat. Adult insects have a role as pollinators, while caterpillars are an important part of the food chain, feeding other insects and birds. Increased urbanisation and intensive agriculture have in large part been blamed for the dwindling numbers of these insects, traditional habitats and food sources have become compromised or scarce. Pesticides are also suspected of having a negative effect on butterfly and moth populations, including neonicotinoids – a class of pesticide chemically similar to nicotine but with higher toxicity. Lincoln University senior lecturer in ecology, Dr Jon Sullivan, estimates that just 3 per cent of the butterfly population in Christchurch and Lincoln is comprised of native species. The remaining 97 per cent being introduced or self-introduced species, such as the monarch – which performs well, largely because its popularity has encouraged people to grow swan plants,

the insect’s only food source. Dr Sullivan said this potentially bodes well for native species such as the red admiral or Canterbury copper, as their success as a species may require nothing more than planting more of the right plants. “The challenge in front of us is to turn things around and bring native butterflies and moths back to people’s gardens and farms. It could well be an ecologically easy thing to do if enough people want to do it,” he said. According to Brian and Hamish Patrick, father-and-son authors of Butterflies of the South Pacific, more than 200 native New Zealand moth species are listed by the Department of Conservation as under threat. “Up until about the 1930s, one beautiful species, Xanthorhoe bulbulata, used to be common from Hawkes Bay all the way to Invercargill, and could be seen flying during the day over grasslands and wetlands typical of the lowland terrain at the time,” Brian Patrick said. “In the 1980s only two moths were found, and, despite thousands of hours put in by entomologists, none have been found since 1991.” The event will run from 1pm to 4pm. There will be butterfly plants, seeds, and mesh covers for sale, as well as competitions and games for the kids, with giveaways and prizes included.

■ SUICIDE

Farmer suicide stats a ‘national disgrace’ Farmer suicide statistics are a national disgrace and responsible for more deaths than farmingrelated accidents, an industry spokesperson says. Federated Farmers Health and Safety spokeswoman Katie Milne said Coronial Services had investigated the number of farmer suicides in 2013-14. The service found 22 farmers including seven women took their own lives in that period. Six farmers were under the age of 24 and 10 over the age of 50. Worksafe NZ’s provisional toll for agricultural deaths in the 2013 calendar year stands at 18. Since 2007, 169 farmers have committed suicide, compared with 112 who have died from farming-related incidents. Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand chairperson Dr Jo Scott-Jones said mental health was impacting on the workload of rural GPs. About 30 per cent of his patients had psychosocial issues, usually mild to moderate depression and anxiety-related disorders. Economic pressure, stress created by droughts and other extreme weather events always impacted on mental health in rural communities. A shortage of rural GPs and a high turnover of medical professionals was compounding the problem, with 25 per cent of rural practices advertising one or

more vacancies. Ms Milne said this hindered doctors and patients developing trusting relationships. ‘’We believe this is a chance to look at the Ministry of Health’s voluntary bonding scheme, to see if it remains fit for purpose in attracting and retaining medical professionals to rural areas,’’ Ms Milne said.

of ready access to the healthcare services that they need,’’ Rolleston said. “It is less ‘she’ll be right’ and more ‘it can wait,’ except in the case of your physical or mental health, it usually cannot. “That’s a key message we need to get out into our communities but it is one that also needs to have the services available.”

“

It is less ‘she’ll be right’ and more ‘it can wait’, except in the case of your physical or mental health, it usually cannot

Provisional figures released by the Chief Coroner show 529 people took their own life for the year ended June 2014. Of these 22 were farmer-related, two higher than the previous year. Federated Farmers president, Dr William Rolleston, a farmer and former GP, said farmers put off going to their GP until they had a list of ailments. ‘’This ‘saving it up,’ is part farming culture and part a lack

MARKET REPORT

Hinds YFC member wins the day

LAMB

Australia is still pumping plenty of sheep meat onto the market, at a time when a quiet period is often welcome to let frozen supplies in storage to diminish over the northern hemisphere autumn/winter period, suppressing frozen markets. Australian lamb production is very consistent month to month, particularly this season with dry conditions meaning that there has been little drop off in production over winter. In the July-August period Australia processed more than double the amount of lambs NZ did and more than three times as much mutton. While most frozen items are slow to move, early season chilled product is in demand in Europe, and chilled product such as lamb legs for the UK market have sold well commanding a good premium over frozen product.

BEEF

After a fortnight of big declines the US imported lean beef market had a steadier week, although there was quite a spread in prices for both 95CL bull and 90CL cow. Cow prices declined earlier in the week but strong interest from Canadian buyers helped give the market a boost as the week progressed. Bull meat has remained in tight supply and, although pricing was scattered, the market was generally firmer than a week earlier. The US domestic 90CL market has held stubbornly high, at $US2.95/lb, and if it remains at this level it will limit downwards movement in the prices offered to NZ exporters. The US autumn cow slaughter typically starts to build from about now, which could weaken prices, but so far processing numbers have remained extremely low.

Sixteen Mid Canterbury competitors set the wheels turning for next year’s Young Farmer Contest, but it was Matthew Bell’s day. The Hinds Young Farmers Club member led the field home, snatching the win from Nigel Woodhead, and third placegetter Athol New, both from the Pendarves club. However, Foothills club member Sam Bryan, who came in fourth, will compete at the Aorangi regional finals at Easter next

year, replacing Athol, whose marriage plans take priority. The contestants were challenged by 16 modules which included fencing, putting out a fire, driving a tractor and trailer around a course without breaking an egg on the trailer, first aid, drenching and tasting

and identifying beer, wine and potato chips. The top eight went on to a quick-fire quiz and the four top scorers delivered a two-minute speech and competed in a final buzzer quiz round to determine the three men who will represent Mid Canterbury.

Dairy commodity prices have continued to ease in the past week as the weak sentiment seen at the October 1 GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) continues to filter through. The Agrifax price series recorded declines for both milk powders and casein, with the largest drop coming from whole milk powder (WMP). Our weighted average price is 30 per cent lower than at the start of the season in July, and 39 per cent lower than at this time last year. Fonterra has released their final offer volumes for the upcoming GDT auction on October 15. The auction will feature 5 per cent lower than forecast volumes of WMP and 4 per cent for anhydrous milkfat (AMF). This amounts to 1600 tonnes of WMP and 150t of AMF. The cut comes after WMP prices posted a 10 per cent decline at the last GDT auction. Bidder numbers were down 12.5 per cent from the previous auction. The National Day holiday in China possibly kept some buyers away. More notably, WMP forecast offer volumes for the year ahead have been reduced by 7 per cent. The 38,400t reduction has come largely from the November to February period. Previously, more than 60,000t has been reduced from forecast offer volumes on GDT since the start of the season. This latest update means that over 100,000t has been cut back which would account for 5 per cent of all Fonterra’s WMP sales in the 2013-14 season.

■ CARPET BEATERS

A dirty but essential job By Kathleen Stringer

hile many people have carpet in their homes, some are beginning to choose wood for the floors of their bedroom and living areas. It is durable and less likely than carpet to house dust, mites and other allergens. Originally an all-wooden floor implied a cold house and possibly a poorer householder. There were two main issues

with wooden floors – one was the cold, the other was the amount of difficulty housekeepers had keeping the area clean. Rugs and other forms of floor coverings have been around for centuries and started with straw which provided both warmth and attempted to control the dirt and dust. Some cultures have made a name for themselves as creators of large and beautiful rugs, but here in New Zealand

early floor coverings included sacks and mats made from scraps of fabric. Not only did they bring some warmth to the home also trapped dust. Without carpet sweepers or vacuums, it was much easier to employ a mat which could be taken out and beaten than install carpet which was impossible to clean. At least once a month, the lady of the house, or her maid, would roll up the carpets and

take them outside and whack them with a beater such as the one pictured above. It was a great way to vent any anger one might have, but an extremely dirty job. The beaters were made of cane and so were very light and flexible, and cheap to replace. While the mat was out airing, the wooden floors would be dealt to. This may have meant just a good sweep, or for very dirty floors wet tea leaves were spread over the floor and

allowed to dry. The dust stuck to the wet leaves and sweeping them up would also, it was hoped, pick up much of the dust. Depending on the type of flooring the wood might also be polished or oiled before the beaten mat returned. Carpet beaters nowadays tend to be replicas, intended to give a sense of history to modern decor, but once they were an important part of the housework toolkit.

■ MOVING PRECIOUS ITEMS

Moving maps is a complex and long process By Kathleen Stringer

he move to the new museum is still under way. As I have said before, it’s a long process and takes time to prepare the material for the move, performing the actual move and then housing it in its permanent home, ready for researchers. The latest part of the archive collection to be moved has been the oversized items, which are housed in the brand new map cabinets. As the name implies, the majority of the material brought over has been maps, plans and drawings. However, it also includes large photographs (including a number of aerial photographs) and large archives such as loose newspapers and certificates. The move was one of those things you think about at 2am and wonder how on earth you can get a large drawer of

delicate items through a narrow doorway without spilling them on the floor. Actually, it wasn’t too bad and a few great ideas from a colleague, such as wrapping cling film around the tops of the drawers, made it go without much of a fuss. The majority of the collection was already in folders, so apart from a quick audit, rehousing those items went rather quickly. I was even able to store really large maps that until now have had to rest on top of the old map cabinets – which exposed them to dust and creasing. Now they are safely tucked away. The hardest day was the rolling of super long or wide maps that no cabinet could store flat. Like textiles, paper documents prefer to be flat, however, sometimes that just isn’t possible and in those instances rolling is the best way to store them. It can be a long and awkward process, but done correctly it gives the map support.

In our case, maps such as an 1880s drainage plan of Ashburton were slowly rolled around a metal tube making sure at all times that the paper was flat, without creases, and straight. Such was the width of the plan that I needed someone to help me. Once it was neatly rolled we had to fit the roller on to a metal stand made especially for that purpose. You can use the same idea to store large textiles such as quilts and tablecloths that you don’t use often or are family heirlooms. Any inert material will do, polyethylene pipe is an easily sourced product. The main thing to remember, apart from how to roll it correctly, which we can advise you on, is to hang the roll when you have finished. Often people forget this step, so all their care is ruined by the weight of the fabric or paper resting on one section.

Once we are open we will be happy to help people discover how to store their precious items to ensure they remain in good condition. The maps and plans are possibly the smallest collection I look after and it is certainly the least used. One reason for this is that people are yet to be aware of the information maps, in particular, hold. The other reason is that until now they were so hard to access. Apart from there being no suitable place to view the items (I often had to use the floor), the cabinets they were placed in were very cramped, so extracting them was often difficult to do without damaging them. One cabinet we used was in such poor condition that it took at least two people to open and close the drawers. It is a great feeling to know that the collection is to be housed in such good conditions

at last. I look forward to showing visitors and researchers the extent of the collection once we open. However, there is still much to do before everything is in its final location. I will keep you informed.

Hansen hints at bolters After making it clear to reporters yesterday that he wasn’t going to pick the team on Monday to give Ewen McKenzie a leg-up with his planning, All Black coach Steve Hansen hinted that this was the sort of game - with the Bledisloe Cup already secure where it would be appropriate to experiment a little. “The All Blacks jersey doesn’t allow you to experiment too much. There’s a responsibility to put the best team on the park. But you have to be comfortable if there are changes they are to going to represent the jersey the way you want,” said Hansen. “If there’s ever a game where we might make some changes, this would be it.” - NZH

Ford ‘must remain’ Bathurst 1000 winners Chaz Mostert and Paul Morris reckon it makes no sense and would be commercial suicide for Ford to exit the sport. The dramatic victory on Sunday was both Mostert and Morris’ first at Mount Panorama, but second for the factory-backed Ford Performance Racing outfit following Mark Winterbottom’s breakthrough win last year. Reports emerged last Friday that Ford was planning to leave the sport when its sponsorship deal with FPR expired at the end of this year. Sunday’s race attracted 195,261 people, the second biggest crowd in its history. - AAP

Whincup unapologetic Red Bull Racing team owner Roland Dane has slammed Jamie Whincup for ignoring orders to save fuel and costing them victory at Bathurst. The Holden star was urged to ease his pace in the dying stages of Sunday’s drama-filled race. But the four-time winner kept pushing taking the lead and extending the gap to nearly three seconds. He eventually ran out of fuel on the final lap, allowing Chaz Mostert to take the win. “He has won a lot of races for us and he has now lost a race for us that is one of the biggest ones,” Dane said. “Whincup was unapologetic. “There were two options in my head: conserve the amount of fuel they wanted me to conserve and run second, or go all out and try and win the race,” he said. “We went all out and ended up finishing fifth.” - AAP

Masters fly Aorangi’s flag By Jonathan Leask

Canterbury couldn’t claim the clean sweep against Aorangi in the annual Templer Trophy representative match at the Ashburton Golf Club on Sunday. The big guns from the city secured convincing wins over the Aorangi men, Under 19 and women but Aorangi took the honours in the masters. The format for the event was reverse singles in the morning

followed by singles in the afternoon. Canterbury dominated in the women’s section to be up 6-2 at lunch time and had a commanding lead in the senior men at 7-1 with the Canterbury U19 team also up 5-1. The masters section, which is always a close contest ending in a 6-6 draw last year, had Aorangi take the lead into the afternoon 3.5-2.5. Canterbury went on to convincingly win the women’s 14-

6, the men’s 11-5 and the under 19s 9.5-2.5 but they couldn’t come from behind to take the masters. The Aorangi masters, featuring Ashburton’s Robbie Bell and Tinwald’s John Smitheram, held on to win that event 7-5. Robbie’s daughter Catherine was unbeaten on the day for the Canterbury women with her mother, Pauline, playing in Aorangi’s 10-strong women’s team with fellow Mid Canter-

bury golfers Catherine Knight, Nicole Nathan and Sharon Bradford. Cameron Grant, Jordan Green, Daniel Green, Jeff Hewitt and Nigel Heney played in the men’s team with Troi Kingsford, Josh Smith and Brent Kirdy in the under 19s. The two masters teams will go at it again at the Freyberg Masters national tournament at the Waitangi Golf Club next month.

Fox and Campbell hunting tour cards Auckland’s Ryan Fox and Otago professional Thomas Campbell have advanced to the second stage of qualifying for the Web.com Tour. Fox had rounds of 71, 66, 70 and 74 for a seven-under par total at The Woodlands Tournament Course in Texas to finish in a share of 14th place yesterday. The 27-year-old, who had his

dad, former All Black Grant Fox on his bag as his caddy, signed for a two-over par 74 in the final round but it didn’t matter as he had done enough to finish inside the top 32 who qualified for the second stage. Campbell also delivered under pressure at the Nebraska qualifying event. The 28-year-old from Dunedin had rounds of 79, 68, 70

and 72 at the Arbor Links Golf Club to finish on a one-over par total and in a share of 18th place. He held his nerve well in the final round with an evenpar 72 to finish inside the top 32 by three strokes. Masterton professional Ben Campbell, who was playing at the same venue as Fox, was not as fortunate. Campbell had rounds of 73, 75, 73 and 75 for

an eight-over par total to finish in 62nd place in Texas. On the OneAsia Tour, Wellington pro Nick Gillespie has earned his biggest pay day of $54,000 after a solid week at the Nanshan China Masters. The former Fiji Open Champion had rounds of 68, 68, 74 and 73 for a one-under par total at the Nanshan International Golf Club to finish in fifth. - APNZ

In brief

■ BOXING

Champ in the ring By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Boxer Sam Watt defeated Commonwealth Games silver medallist, David Light, to become the New Zealand under 91kg champion at the New Zealand Boxing Championships in Queenstown on Saturday. Watt, who trains at the Ashburton Boxing Club but fights out of the Papanui Club, claimed the upset win over the New Zealand representative in a straight final. “It was a split decision that went my way in a really close fight,” Watt said. “It’s kind of a blur now. “I guess I had a big celebration on Saturday night but all three rounds were really close. “At the end my coaches said ‘we could have it depending on the judges’ and it split to me. “In the preparations throughout the week the coaches were

saying how well I was hitting. “I felt sharp and crisp and as it is who performs on the day I had nothing to lose, gave it a go and came out on top.” Watt hails from Timaru, moved to Christchurch when he was 10, attended Christchurch Boys’ High School and then went to Canterbury University. After graduating he was employed by Capon Madden bringing him to Ashburton, where he found himself training at the Ashburton Boxing Club, and playing rugby for Celtic. His Celtic team-mate, Matt Miller, has provided a good training partner and the rugby produced some excellent fitness training. Ashburton Boxing Club’s Colin Sheehan didn’t mind that the now Ashburton-based Watt was still fighting under the Papanui banner, and said that the

Sam Watt: National champion

last Ashburton based national title holder was John ‘Doc’ Wills in 1963 when he won the bantam weight title. Watt said that loyalty was keeping him at the Papanui club

for now, but he is also heavily tied with the Ashburton club. “We’ll see what happens. “Being ranked number one there might be some opportunities to present themselves.” He’s hoping another opportunity presents itself. The national title bout is the new highlight of a big month for Watt, who made his Mid Canterbury debut against Buller in the Heartland Rugby Championship coming off the bench, after injuries paved the way for him to earn the call-up. He then played against East Coast and North Otago but the prior engagement, winning the national title in the ring in Queenstown, meant that Watt was unavailable to play for the Hammers in their crucial win over South Canterbury on Saturday - which also booked them a Meads Cup semi-final in Gisborne this weekend.

■ NETBALL

Kopua likely to miss six months of netball By Dana Johannsen Silver Ferns skipper Casey Kopua will undergo surgery on her injured knee today, ruling her out of netball for at least six months.

Ashburton Guardian 17

Scans in Auckland yesterday confirmed the star defender had ruptured her patella tendon when she dislocated her knee cap in Saturday’s 47-34 loss to Australia in Sydney. She will go under the knife

in Hamilton today to repair the tendon, which attaches the kneecap to the shin. Kopua will then come under the care of Netball New Zealand medical staff as she begins the road to recovery and rehabilitation.

Kopua, who became New Zealand’s most capped skipper on Saturday night before succumbing to the horrific injury, is facing a race against time to be fit for next year’s World Cup in Sydney. - NZH

Parker nears top ten Joseph Parker’s rise to the top 10 of the WBA’s rankings could be complete by the end of the year. The promising Kiwi heavyweight boxer is now billed at No 11 by the WBA and No 14 by the WBO and he will fight two more times before 2014 comes to a close. His next bout is against Sherman ‘The Tank’ Williams in West Auckland on Thursday night. Parker’s trainer Kevin Barry said the 22-year-old’s latest jump in the WBA’s rankings was a reflection of his growing reputation. “It’s really exciting for our promoters,” Barry said. “I can see us being ranked in the top 10 by the end of the year.” - APNZ

Vettori returns Dan Vettori will make his return to the national cricket scene when a New Zealand XI plays Scotland at Lincoln on Wednesday. Former captain Vettori, 35, last appeared for New Zealand at the Champions Trophy in June last year against England in Cardiff. Injury problems have sidelined him for much of the intervening period. He has been named in a 12 for the game against the World Cup qualifiers, who are in the country for preparatory games in the next few days. New Zealand XI: Brendon McCullum (c), Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Dean Brownlie, Corey Anderson, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi, Nathan McCullum, Dan Vettori, Kyle Mills, Matt Henry, Mitchell McClenaghan. - HOL

Rare loss for Seahawks DeMarco Murray grabbed a slice of NFL history yesterday to help the Dallas Cowboys hand the Super Bowl champion Seahawks a rare home defeat with a 30-23 triumph. Murray joined Jim Brown as the only running backs in league history to surpass 100 rushing yards in six straight games to start a season. It was just the second time the Seahawks were beaten in Seattle in 21 home games of Wilson’s tenure. In Nashville Ryan Succop connected on three field goals and the Tennessee special-teams unit came up with a game-saving fieldgoal block in a 16-14 triumph over winless Jacksonville. - AFP

Beale staying positive Senior Wallabies continue to back Kurtley Beale despite more revelations about the lewd and offensive text messages which have led to team business manager Di Patston resigning. A day after captain Michael Hooper said he hoped Beale wouldn’t be sacked for distributing offensive material related to Patston, Adam Ashley-Cooper came out strongly in support of the troubled star. Ashley-Cooper, due to play his 100th Test on Saturday, said he was feeling for his close friend who had been “doing it tough” since the ARU started two investigations into his behaviour. - AAP

Joeli on track Proven ultimate distance performer Go Joeli is on target for another crack at Riccarton’s staying feature. The Byerley Park sixyear-old finished runner-up to Spring Cheer in the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup 12 months ago and is making good progress toward a southern return. Go Joeli finished a handy first-up sixth over 1600 metres when resuming last month and was again doing his best work late behind Back In Black when fifth over 2000 metres at Matamata on Saturday. The Shaun Clotworthy-

trained son of Brilliance is taking a different path to Riccarton than last year when he raced through the winter. “It’s a little bit by design this time and he did have a couple of injury problems, but he’s very sound at the moment,” Clotworthy said. “He’s been in work quite a while and he’s got plenty of miles in his legs. We know he runs the two miles so he should be a good chance again the way he’s going.” Go Joeli’s versatility could also be a factor at Riccarton with his ability to perform well under a wide range of conditions. He has won on good, dead and heavy tracks. - APNZ

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) On both the personal and relationship fronts you’re starting to get a much clearer sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) You’re starting to realise that wakeup calls weren’t an alert to dangers that needed avoiding and instead to opportunities that need to be seized. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) It’s the Moon’s return to your income sector today that brings a chance to pay attention to what a nose for money is telling you. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) While there’ll be no repeat of last week’s work/life balance tensions you’re able to learn from them especially when it comes to working smarter. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Where there have been some communication challenges over recent weeks, you’re starting to see signs of the breakthrough this has made possible. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) While a new sense of financial confidence is emerging it’s money matters on the home, family and/or property fronts that are first to respond. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) When Mercury retrograded back into your sign over the weekend this brought a whole new dynamic into your birthday month. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With your birthday month kicking off dramatically with a solar eclipse in 10 days time, use this time to mull over ideas that have already been planted. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Pay attention to the emotional and intuitive responses triggered and as the Moon moves on hold onto the messages this leaves you with. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Within both your personal and professional relationships you have a chance today to read between the lines. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) It’s on the work front that you’ll find some valuable clues, hunches and insights today and over the next few days. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) On the income front there is little, if any urgency, while the call has gone out to wrap things up on the financial front.

Marshall opens season’s acccount Glen Marshall secured his first victory in the Tinwald Cycling Club’s season when he won the 38km handicap around the Wakanui-Hakatere course on Sunday. With a solid field of 53 riders the result was wide open, and it proved to be a close race with the first 38 riders finishing inside 60 seconds of each other. Marshall and his co-markers worked well to pick up the

group in front inside the first 15km, then set about finding the front of the race, which they did but only in the final 3km. Marshall then won the sprint in the shadow of the finish line from a game Sam Letham who rode strongly to claim second. Rachel Thow continued her good form to take third with Trevor Pratley, Dave Knight and Paul Mcfie rounding out the top six. Brad Hudson rode the course

in 51.50 minutes to set the fastest time from co-markers Tony Ward and Michael Templeton. Earlier a big field of juniors had contested a 16km handicap event. Front marker, Maddie Lowry rode a superb race to keep the chasing riders at bay. Jenna Borthwick backed up last week’s top ride to take second and Charlotte Gray showed she will be one to watch charging into third.

Isabella Gibson, Rosie Gray and Abe O’Donnell were hot on Gray’s tail to fill the top six positions. Bailey O’Donnell, fresh from the Junior Tour of Southland, secured fastest time honours riding the distance in 26.13 minutes. Co-markers Connor Leov and Matthew Clough set the second and third best times respectively. Division 2 also saw good

numbers take advantage of the warm spring day. Tony Tarbotton saw off the challenge of Nicole Ellis to take the victory with Keryn O’Donnell securing the final podium spot. Janette Hooper came home in fourth with fifth placed Drew Titheridge registering the fastest time. Next week the club contests a handicap event around Dawsons Road.
