Health, farming, education big Budget winners

BY GUARDIAN REPORTERS Mid Canterbury principals, farmers and doctors are welcoming an election year budget that sees the government’s muchawaited return to surplus.

Finance Minister Bill English’s $1 billion in new spending yesterday revealed a $500m package to support New Zealand families, which includes allowing free doctors’ visits and prescriptions for 400,000 children aged under 13 and an extension to paid parental leave to 18 weeks.

Mr English also flagged a $480 million cut to ACC levies and the prospect of tax cuts, in a budget that sees the return to surplus at $372, much higher than the $86m forecasted six months ago.

Education will see $857m in new spending, which includes a $156m investment over four years for early childhood education to bolster affordability and participation rates.

Local participation has already hit 98.4 per cent and Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy said early childhood was a vital stage in the development for children and too often

the sector missed out. “And schools are going to realise the benefit of free doctors’ visits for under 13s.

“It provides a better opportunity for families to get children to the doctor. In the end, a healthy child is at school, an unhealthy child is at home.”

There’s also good news for farmers, thanks to a $40 million funding injection for irrigation projects.

The new capital funding comes from the Future Investment Fund and will be used to purchase shares in Crown Irrigation, to assist water storage and irrigation projects.

Chairman of the Barrhill-Chertsey Irrigation Scheme John Wright said the investment opened real opportunities.

“We see it as really positive that the Crown is continuing to support it – it’s not yet obvious where those projects will be in our district at the moment,” Mr Wright said.

He said optimising infrastructure was the focus for future investment.

Jolie talks wedding plans Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children are keen to help their Hollywood A-list parents plan their long-awaited wedding – and would organise a Disney or paintball party if they had their way, Jolie says.

The actress said she is doing well a year after she revealed that she had had a double mastectomy to reduce her high risk of breast cancer. Jolie and Pitt are engaged, but he has often stated that they will not wed in the US so long as same-sex marriage equality is not the law of the land. Of their wedding plans, Jolie said: “We will get married, and we’re not really in a rush, so we’re just waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right.

SPCA probes embryo delicacy An Auckland restaurant serving duck eggs with developing embryo has been cleared by the SPCA for possible cruelty against unhatched ducklings but its suppliers are now being investigated. The society said it received complaints that Island Joe’s Hawaiian Barbecue in Onehunga had put balut on the menu, and an investigator was sent to the premises. The dish, which sometimes comes with a duck embryo with feathers and beak, is considered a Filipino delicacy and believed to boost male fertility and libido. Christine Kalin, the society’s chief executive, said the restaurant had not breached the Animal Welfare Act and the society was satisfied with the practices employed there. The fertilised duck egg is boiled and served hot, and diners consume the broth, yolk and young chick with salt or a chilli, garlic and vinegar sauce.

‘Wolf’ calls for 60 Mins boycott The real-life Wolf of Wall Street has described journalist Liz Hayes as an “f-wit” and called for a boycott of 60 Minutes. Crooked broker Jordan Belfort, whose character was portrayed

He told KIIS FM this week that the footage was edited to make him look bad and the sit-down had been “a complete attack” on his integrity. “If you saw the unedited version, you’d realise what an f-wit she is,” he said. “She was more concerned with hearing her own idiotic opinion than listening to me. The next time someone acts like an f-wit, I’m not going to take it.” Despite enduring hardhitting interviews before, he said he felt the 60 Minutes sitting was ridiculous, one-sided and a waste of his time.

She added that authorities have not yet talked to the Canadian pop star. The paper said Bieber is not accused of keeping the phone.

It is the latest in a series of run-ins with the law for the 20-year-old entertainer. He is due to stand trial on July 7 in Miami for allegedly driving while under the influence of drugs.

■ MAYFIELD HINDS IRRIGATION SCHEME

Shareholders reject pipe plans

By MichEllE nElson michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A proposal to pipe the Mayfield Hinds irrigation scheme has been vetoed by its shareholders.

The recommendation to replace the open-race system with a pressure-piped network was put to shareholders recently, but only achieved 64 per cent ratification.

A majority of 75 per cent was needed to proceed.

Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Ltd general manager Hamish Tait said the board was disappointed with the decision, but acknowledged this particular scheme was “a little different” to others in the district.

He said economic caution and environmental uncertainty factored into the decision for some shareholders, however others appeared unwilling to recognise their obligations to preserve and enhance the asset for the future.

“Using water as efficiently was the MHIL strategy and fundamental driver for the

Hamish Tait

scheme upgrade,” he said.

Mr Tait said a number of shareholders had already invested in wells and storage dams, which may have diminished the appeal of the piped network, if there was an expectation that their existing infrastructure was to be retained.

The investigation into the project had taken four years, funded by a $158,125 grant from the Ministry of Primary Industries Community Irrigation Fund and farmer shareholders.

The final phase included indepth tendering and design refinement.

“It is disappointing that the project hasn’t proceeded,” Mr Tait said.

“A 75 per cent majority is a tough hurdle to get across but equally, it is in the co-operative’s interest to have strong support before embarking on a project such as this.

“MHIL remains committed to a strategy of scheme enhance-

■ RAKAIA FIREFIGHTERS

Taking on the Sky Tower challenge

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Six Rakaia firefighters will tomorrow tackle a challenge described as one of the hardest things they’ll ever do.

The firefighters from the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade are set to take part in this year’s fundraising Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge, which will see them race up the 51 flights of stairs (1103 steps) of Auckland’s Sky Tower wearing full firefighting kit, to raise money and awareness for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.

Together the six have raised more than $10,500 – so far this year’s event has raised more than $700,000.

Adam Williams, 22, is part of the Rakaia crew and he said they’ve been training hard for the past three months; trekking up and down the 170-odd stairs at the Synlait milk factory together, and pounding the pavements on their own.

Mr Williams has been known to don his firefighting gear and run the streets of Rakaia, and when he goes on weekend hunting trips, he carries as much gear as he can to prepare for the weight he’ll have to carry up the Sky Tower.

It’s the second year some of the Rakaia crew have taken part. Last year Mr Williams completed the climb in 18.08

minutes but this year he’s aiming to cut at least a couple of minutes off that.

“I’d really like to blow it out of the water,” Mr Williams said.

It’s a personal challenge – one that is now a firm fixture on his calendar every year – but it’s also about raising awareness. Mr Williams said he’d lost a couple of close family friends to cancer in the past few

months; it was something that affected everyone.

The Sky Tower Challenge was a way they could help.

“It doesn’t hurt to run your bum off and sweat a bit for a day,” he said.

He’s excited, but knows it’s going to be tough. “I’m definitely nervous. You don’t know if you have put enough effort in until you’re doing it,” he said.

“It’s by far the hardest thing

I have ever done; it’s as mentally draining as it is physically draining.”

The six Rakaia firefighters all want to beat each other.

“It’s never good to let the older boys beat you; they never let you live it down,” Mr Williams said.

Ashburton volunteer firefighter Mark Ellis is also taking part and has raised more than $5000 for the cause.

ADVANTAGES Advantages of pressure pipe delivery: ■ Water is provided under pressure, on demand to individual properties.

■ Energy efficient, saving on running and operating costs.

■ Twenty per cent increase in water efficiency, with reduced leakage, evaporation and bywash.

■ Opportunity to irrigate additional land.

■ Improved reliability.

ment and growth, and while disappointed at this setback we will continue to pursue this proposal.”

MHIL is the largest irrigator shareholder in the Rangitata Diversion Race Group, which distributes water to 33,000 hectares of land between the Rangitata and Hinds rivers, from the foothills to the coast.

Sixty per cent of quake claims ‘settled’ Almost 60 per cent of all Canterbury earthquake out of scope and over cap claims are settled, the Insurance Council says.

That leaves more than 35,000 claims still waiting to be settled, more than three years after the earthquakes.

A survey by Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority showed 51,799 had been settled, as at March 31.

Insurance Council chief executive Tim Grafton said that showed “real drive” by private insurers and claims management companies.

At the end of April insurers had paid out $4.06 billion in residential claims, with the earthquake payout for commercial claims standing at $7.49b.

“Our members are still forecasting that the majority of the insurer-managed rebuild programme will be completed by the end of 2016, however there are a number of factors outside the control of insurers that could impact on this such as land repair, retaining walls, Port Hills Mass Movement Areas, multi units and customers’ decision delays,” says Mr Grafton.

Over cap claims are those for more than $100,000 plus GST, which are handled by private insurers, while out of scope claims deal with those areas not cov-

$40m boost for irrigation

Top 10 points ■ ■

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

The $40 million funding injection for irrigation projects delivered in yesterday’s Budget, is welcome news to Mid Canterbury irrigation schemes.

The new capital funding comes from the Future Investment Fund and will be used to purchase shares in Crown Irrigation, to assist water storage and irrigation projects.

Barhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme chairman John Wright said the investment opened real opportunities.

“We see it as really positive that the Crown is continuing to support it – it’s not yet obvious where those projects will be in our district at the moment,” Mr Wright said.

He said optimising infrastructure was the focus for future investment.

“We are all looking at the best use for those funds. It’s really about insuring that the right size infrastructure goes in place – not just what we can afford to put in today for today’s uptake.”

$40 million for irrigation projects is welcome news to Mid Canterbury irrigation schemes.

While some of the money would be spent on water storage projects, Mid Canterbury was well provided for by Lake Coleridge.

“We won’t need to necessarily consider any alternative storage structures – so our focus is probably more on delivery infrastructure and getting water to the individual

schemes as efficiently as we can, and the Crown is prepared to invest in those types of projects as well,” Mr Wright said.

“It could well mean more pressure-piped networks and it could mean the focus shifts from individual schemes within the district to the best regional solutions – how does water get into South Canterbury and sat-

isfy their needs as well as Mid and Central Canterbury?

“There’s quite a lot of collaboration in this space at the moment – it’s a fairly positive environment.”

Crown Irrigation provides bridging investments in irrigation schemes which could not be established with private finance.

Free GP visits to under 13s

Beneficiaries miss out

By BreNdaN MaNNiNg

While young working families got treats in the Budget, there was nothing extra for beneficiaries’ pockets - the key welfare announcement was an extra $25 million a year to help get beneficiaries back into work.

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett said the $100 million funding package over four years would help provide 8000 places in job and work-readiness programmes, as well as work more intensively with those with complex needs.

The extra funding was on top of the $187 million in last year’s Budget aimed at driving the welfare reforms through. Ms Bennett said those reforms meant benefit payments were now $320 million less than forecast in 2011.

Under the reforms, more beneficiaries are work-tested and face more obligations to return to work or risk having their benefits cut.

The most controversial change was for sole parents to return to work when their youngest child was school age.

Ms Bennett said the welfare reforms meant there were now 15,000 fewer people on benefits and there were 29,500 fewer children living in benefit-dependent homes than two years ago.

A $33.2 million package of funding will be used for the Children’s Action Plan, set up by So-

More than 400,000 school children will be entitled to free GP visits through one of the biggest surprises in Budget 2014.

Free doctor’s visits for children will be extended from six up to the age of 13 under a $90 million allocation announced in the Budget.

An extra $1.8 billion has been allocated for the health sector for the next four years, taking heath spending to a record $15.6 billion over the next year.

Health Minister Tony Ryall said the $1.8 billion bonus has been allocated to meet cost pressures and population growth.

“This is made up of $1.39 billion of new money and $412 million of savings.”

Other major announcements from the Budget include a $200 million investment from the Future Investment Fund for health sector projects, including the new Grey Base Hospital on the West Coast.

Expanding the Government’s free GP visit and prescription scheme to include six to 12 year-olds will benefit more than 400,000 children, Mr Ryall said.

Under the scheme, all primary school aged children can go

to a doctor for free, any time of the day, as well as being entitled to free prescriptions, he said.

Parents shouldn’t be put off getting medical assistance for their young children because of the cost, Mr Ryall said.

“This is an important preventative health measure, as parents will be more likely to take their child to the doctor for treatment before their condition becomes severe.”

The scheme would be offered to general practices from July 1, 2015.

The Government had also allocated an additional $23.7 million over four years to support general practices, Mr Ryall said.

Other new health funding boosts include an extra $112.1 million for disability health services, $110 million for elective surgery, $96 million for increased home-based support services and $33 million for better cancer services.

District health boards would also benefit from a funding increase, gaining around $320 million for extra services, Mr Ryall said.

While many developed countries were freezing or reducing their health funding, New Zealand’s Government was growing public health services, he said.

“Despite tight financial times, this Government has invested an additional $3.34 billion of new operating and capital funding into health in the past five years.”

The package includes $16.4 million for new services and greater monitoring of children considered to be at risk of abuse or neglect. A further $13.7 million will go to Child, Youth and Family to better support children in state care and those with high needs.

The Budget also included funding for the Ministry of Social Development’s new role in managing state house tenants’ housing needs, including undertaking ‘tenancy reviews’ and shifting tenants into other housing if they no longer meet the criteria for a state house.

The new ‘tenancy reviews’ will begin in July and the Ministry of Social Development was given $8 million for a fund to help state house tenants move into alternative housing (such as by paying a bond or moving costs.)

Early childhood providers win

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Early childhood providers are big winners in the $857.8 million of new spending earmarked for education over the next four years, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy says.

However, he said it would be the investment of $359m seeing higher paid ‘executive principals’ and ‘expert teachers’, among others, that will attract the most attention as the government aims to retain quality educators.

“We are yet to know more about that so I think the devil will be in the detail.

“We are treating it with cautious optimism because it will probably be the biggest change in education we have seen since Tomorrow’s Schools was introduced in 1989,” he said.

Government spending in

education will reach $10.1 billion over 2014/15.

Education Minister Hekia Parata has also promised to invest $85.3m to increase schools’ operations grants, $172.5m capital and 111.5m of operating funding for school property, $4.7m for teacher aides and an extra $155.7m for early childhood education, which includes an increase in subsidy rates.

“It’s good to see them investing more in early childhood, it’s often an area that misses out and primary schools realise the importance of it, it makes a big difference when they start at school,” Mr Murphy said.

Overall he was positive about the budget, and said it was positive to see further investment in teacher aides for pupils with high needs, but believed the extra money for operations grants ($85.3m) only matched the rate of inflation.

An extra $857 million has been earmarked in the latest Budget for education over the next four years.

■ QUAD BIKE ACCIDENTS

Irresponsible farmer fined

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

A South Island farmer fined $15,000 for repeatedly carrying a child on a quad bike and refusing to wear a helmet proves authorities will clamp down on those using the vehicles irresponsibly.

That’s the view of Federated Farmers health and safety spokeswoman Jeanette Maxwell, who reacted to the sentencing of a Marlborough farmer this week who WorkSafe

NZ inspectors repeatedly saw riding a quad bike in the Rai Valley while carrying children, without a helmet in sight.

It was believed to be the first time someone had been convicted for carrying a passenger on a work quad bike, and comes after the recent death of Ashburton four-year-old Timothy MacAvoy, who died following a quad bike crash, in which he was a passenger, on a Tai Tapu farm last month.

“It’s not surprising, inspectors

have been out visiting farms in the last 18 months and issuing abatement notices and small fines, but if people continue to offend they have to eventually put a line in the sand.”

Police have not yet ruled out charging the relative responsible for the fatal quad bike crash, and it is unclear what charges he could be facing.

There are no specific laws in New Zealand covering helmets, training, rider age, passengers and towing carrying

limits, despite victims’ families and coroners repeatedly calling for stronger compulsory safety measures.

However, when quad bikes are used for work purposes, they are covered by the Health and Safety in Employment Act when employers need to take all practicable steps to prevent harm. Ms Maxwell said that included farm workers adhering to the manufacturers’ recommendations, including wearing helmets, rider training, age lim-

Warehouse CFO dies

Chicago director and musical director Regan Jackson and Luke di Somma are focusing on eating well, sleeping well, and touching wood.

They are pleased both they and their talented cast are in good health leading up to tomorrow’s opening night for the Variety Theatre of Ashburton show, but are not taking anything for granted.

Tickets are selling fast for the production, staging through to May 24, at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Following last year’s Miss Saigon nightmare when director David Williams fell from the stage and seriously injured himself, Mr Jackson and Mr di Somma know just how important it is that cast members and crew look after themselves.

Mr Jackson said this week had presented a particularly “gruelling” series of rehearsals, generally not finishing until 11.30pm.

This meant he and many others travelling from Christchurch were not getting home until 1am. He had been surviving on five hours’ sleep per night, but was staying energised with plenty of fluids, healthy meals and “a huge amount” of adrenaline.

He said among the many behind-the-scenes Variety Theatre volunteers there was a health and safety representative

its and in most cases passengers should not be carried.

“I wouldn’t say having children as passengers is common practice. However, sometimes you have got to make a tough decision because you can’t leave young children home alone.”

She said Federated Farmers was lobbying to have quad bikes reclassified as agricultural vehicles to force manufacturers into designing bikes better suited for farm use.

Chicago director Regan Jackson and musical director Luke di Somma are “fighting fit” as they prepare for opening night tomorrow.

who had distributed a brochure on staying healthy to the Chicago team.

“Touch wood, the cast are all keeping very, very well,” Mr Jackson said.

“Touching wood as we speak we have had no challenges of that nature,” Mr di Somma added.

“Hopefully everybody is fighting fit for opening night, it’s quite a physical show, it’s a high energy experience.”

He was confident not only the talented cast would stay in fine shape for opening night, but the band which will star in the orchestra pit.

It will present a piano-based mixture of musical theatre and jazz, featuring a range of instruments including drums, trumpets and saxophones.

The chief financial officer of The Warehouse, Stephen Small, has died, the company has announced.

Mr Small died suddenly today from natural causes, a spokeswoman confirmed. He was 39. In a statement, The Warehouse Group chairman Ted van Arkel said Mr Small would be greatly missed.

“Stephen was a hugely respected member of our executive team and it is a shock to us all at this time.

“We send our deepest sympathies to his wife Yoko and his family who are in the thoughts and prayers of the entire company.”

Ribena caught again

The scene will be set the minute theatre-goers walk through the door over the coming days to attend Variety Theatre Ashburton’s latest production, Chicago. Yesterday a Plymouth 1929 Model U DeLuxe Coupe owned by Ashburton’s Les Bennett was driven into the foyer of the Ashburton Trust Event Centre in preparation for tomorrow night’s opening show.

Drinks maker Ribena has again been caught out, this time in the UK, for making misleading claims in advertising. Online ads for the drink were found to make misleading claims about the health benefits of vitamin A and C in the product. The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found the ads altered the meaning of four authorised health claims about the vitamins. Maker GlaxoSmithKline said it reworded the claims to make them more understandable and consumerfriendly. The claims were vitamin A “helps keep your vision in tip-top condition”, and “is important for immunity”, and that vitamin C “helps immunity” and “it’s an antioxidant”. The ASA said the claims were exaggerated and did not convey the full meaning of the authorised health claims to consumers.

Tent family get a rental property

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton family that has been homeless for four months has finally found a place to call home.

Rebecca Sutton and Graeme Blythe and their four children have endured what they say was “a life-changing” ordeal that saw them living out of a tent in a friend’s backyard and couch surfing with relatives since February as they battled to find a rental.

Ms Sutton said at times it had been embarrassing and degrading, but that is all a distant memory now as the family prepares to move into a three bedroom house in Netherby next week.

“I’m over the moon, I almost did a cartwheel when the property manager rang us and said we had got the place,” Ms Sutton said.

“What we have been through is lifechanging, people never realise what they have got and take everything for granted until they find themselves in a situation like we have been through.”

The new home also comes with a double garage, and the family will be paying about $320 a week.

“It’s not anything great or fancy, but

when you’ve been through what we have you take anything you can get,” Ms Sutton said.

The family found themselves homeless in February when the landlord advised them he was selling their Beach Road rental. They searched for a new home but found themselves being repeatedly turned down, and having two dogs did not make it easy.

They lived out of a tent on the backyard of a Burnett Street property for two months, before temporarily moving in with relatives down south and then in Christchurch before house-sitting for friends.

“We had to move back out again soon so it’s perfect timing, but we’ve got a pretty big week coming next week, we have got belongings stored away in three different places,” Ms Sutton said.

Ray White Ashburton property manager Veronica Monaghan said the family had lived in three of her rentals previously, and found it hard to witness their ordeal.

She was relieved “the right place came up at the right time”, but having animals and needing a larger home for the six of them made it harder.

■ GCSB REVELATIONS

In brief

PM aware of some tools used

By DaviD Fisher John Key has said he is aware of some but not all of the tools used by the GCSB amid fresh questions over an intrusive piece of spyware showcased by the United States’ NSA to their Kiwi partners.

The Prime Minister stuck to his position in refusing to talk about “operational” details of the GCSB’s (Government Communications Security Bureau) work.

The refusal came the day after leaked material emerged from whistleblower Edward Snowden showing New Zea-

land was enmeshed in some of the most controversial aspects of the United States’ spy machine.

Among those was a slide shown at a conference for the Five Eyes group of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States which showcased the capabilities of the X-Keyscore tool, which the NSA (National Security Agency) uses to search mass-harvested phone and email records.

Asked if he knew the tools used by the GCSB, he said “some of them”. “I don’t go into the techniques the GCSB

or SIS use.” But he repeated his oft-stated position there was no mass surveillance of New Zealanders and partners in the Five Eyes network were not used to get around the law.

The new slides also showed Australian spies asking for the NSA’s help to monitor citizens involved in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Mr Key, asked if the GCSB sought NSA help to watch the Kiwi killed there in a US drone strike, said: “I don’t have those details.”

Mr Key refused to say whether the NSA helped fund the GCSB, despite Snowden docu-

ments showing Canadian and United Kingdom agencies received funding.

He said he expected no diplomatic wrangles from friendly nations were further details of the GCSB’s activities to be made public.

“I think NZers actually accept that there is a place for intelligence agencies (and) those intelligence agencies provide very important services.”

The information was released with the publication of No Place To Hide, a book by journalist Glenn Greenwald, who broke the Snowden story.

Woman killed in crash A woman died in a car crash near Gisborne last night. Danger from electrical cables, brought down in the crash, prevented immediate rescue attempts, but police said it appeared the driver may have died instantly when the incident occurred. She was the only person in the vehicle. Police believed the car struck a power pole just before 7pm. Emergency services gained access to the vehicle after the power lines were made safe by electricity company staff. - APNZ

Trekker in Mount After walking the entire West Coast and most of the east coast of the country, Brandon Yelavich has made it to Mount Maunganui.

The 20-year-old has been circumnavigating New Zealand since February 1 last year, with the aim of raising money for Ronald McDonald House. Mr Yelavich said he was spiralling down a path of drug abuse when he watched the film Into the Wild and decided to change his life. “So I thought, ‘Why not walk around New Zealand’? It seemed simple enough, just follow the coast.” He has been walking for 479 days and although motivation was sometimes hard to find, “little things” kept him going.

Police chase burglars At least two people are in police custody following a burglary and brief police pursuit on Auckland’s North Shore. Police northern communications shift inspector Peter Raynes said a vehicle was followed by officers for a brief period about 4.20am yesterday following a burglary on the Hibiscus Coast. “The pursuit was abandoned early on but the fleeing vehicle continued and has crashed on a gravel road offramp in Rosedale. “The drivers and passengers fled [on foot] and were soon apprehended by police staff.

There was no injury and it was a minor crash.”

Truck brings top Kiwi art to Mid Canterbury A makeshift gallery hosting some of the country’s top homegrown art is here in Ashburton.

The Real Art Roadshow has stopped off at Ashburton College and will move on to Methven on Monday, carry-

ing works from contemporary New Zealand artists post1960s, including pieces by Peter Robinson, Shane Cotton and Toss Woollston.

Ashburton College photography pupils (from left) Jamie Philip, Jemma Ramsay and

Naomi Cone, all 17, were impressed with what was on display at the gallery.

The fold-out truck art gallery aims to bring highlyprized artworks to rural communities such as Ashburton and allow pupils in the district

to see pieces they may only get to see if they travel to the main centres.

The roadshow hits Methven next week, before trekking north to Christchurch and the other areas of the South Island.

Indecent assault on girl, 12, admitted A Rotorua man has admitted indecently assaulting a 12-year-old Carterton girl he met online.

But Kayne Storm McIntyre denies sexually grooming her.

In Masterton District Court

yesterday, the 18-year-old admitted indecent assault but pleaded not guilty to communicating with and arranging to meet the girl with intent to commit a crime on her.

He elected trial by jury for

the denied charge.

McIntyre is alleged to have been chatting to the girl online for six months and drove from Rotorua to pick her up from her Carterton home on Anzac Day. The girl’s family alerted po-

lice when she was seen getting into an unknown car and an hour later McIntyre was caught.

He was remanded on bail until a case review hearing on July 24.

Street parade ‘much bigger’

By Toni WilliamS

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Wheels Week Plus street parade on Sunday is promising to be bigger and better than ever before as a lead-in to next year’s 25th anniversary event.

The annual parade usually signalled the beginning of the Wheels Week programme, however this year organisers decided to hold it on the final day. It was open to anybody in or on anything with wheels.

Do not expect music and dancing in this street parade, just the roar and rumble of anything and everything on wheels.

Street parade convener Meredith Lowe said there would be enough noise with traction engines, tractors, hot rods, motorbikes, racing cars and trucks and trailers present.

“You name it and it will be there. It’s a fairly rowdy set up,” he said.

“We are expecting it will be much bigger this year, as the interest we’ve had has been phenomenal.”

He estimated it could take an hour.

A number of novelty vehicles took to the parade route last year, including a mini bicycle, an army tank and an aeroplane formation above East Street.

Mr Lowe said people who wanted to be in the parade were to meet around Mona Square from 9am onwards. Dress up of participants or decoration of vehicles was optional as “it’s all about the vehicles”.

Limited to one lane, the route will leave Mona Square, heading to Kermode Street, before it turns on to East Street.

At the Post Office corner, it will head around Baring Square to Havelock Street before returning to East Street and down to Farmers.

They will turn left at Moore Street to finish.

Mr Lowe said at the end of the parade, anyone who wanted to take part in the Big Toys for Big Boys Contracting and Truck Show could head down to Chalmers Avenue and out Bridge Street to get to North Park Road.

The parade starts at 10.30am.

Rise noted in solvent abuse

By Sophie Ryan

The Ashburton Wheels Week Plus street parade drew in hundreds of people to the central business district last year. This year is promising to be bigger and better.

050513-KC-254

Auckland City Missioner Diane Robertson has said her staff have reported a rise in clients showing symptoms of solvent abuse.

However, it was too early to indicate it is linked to withdrawal from synthetic highs, as many of her clients have stockpiled the drugs, she said.

Mrs Robertson said she is monitoring a group of clients who were users of the psychoactive substances that were taken off shelves in an urgent legislation change that came in to effect last Thursday.

All psychoactive substances have been banned until a government-approved testing regime is in place to ensure their safety.

“We are monitoring to see what the effects of that are on them and their behaviour, and if there are any issues around withdrawal, and whether there is an increase in alternative substances,” Ms Robertson said.

She said people had stockpiled the substances before they were banned, so it could be weeks before they start to come off the drugs.

Alcohol Drug Association New Zealand chief executive Paul Rout said people looking for an alternative to synthetic highs could very well turn to solvents.

“When a drug that was legal and relatively cheap goes off the market then people will turn to other alternatives in many cases,” he said. “[Solvent] is probably not too expensive and you can pick it up because there’s always a few retailers who may not be as scrupulous around who they sell it to as they should be.”

He had not heard of solvent abuse as a specific alternative to legal highs.

Christchurch City Missioner Michael Gorman said he was expecting a rise in solvent abuse once stockpiles run low. “It’s a bit too soon, but we are preparing for it,” he said.

Tribute to be held for former sequence dancer

Norman Jackson Photo suPPlied

Former sequence dancing teacher Norman Jackson will be remembered by his pupils and others this weekend.

Glenys Donnelly of Glenys’ Dance Group is holding a Tribute to Norman Jackson at the

pipe band hall on Saturday at 7.30pm.

She will be dusting off some of Mr Jackson’s former dance tapes and CDs for attendees to listen and dance to.

“He was a very good dancer, he was very good at teaching people the steps of dances,” she

said. He established the group around the 1980s and Ms Donnelly later became a student of his, before taking on the group when Mr Jackson passed away at the age of 80 four years ago.

She said the group saw dancers gather to practice the waltz, foxtrot and do the maxina. It

was also attended from time to time by those who wanted to learn dances for special occasions, such as weddings.

Mrs Donnelly was expecting former students of Mr Jackson’s to attend the tribute, which was an open invitation event.

OUR VIEW

Principal socially responsible Coen Lammers EDITOR

A

s the winter months are getting colder and the days are getting shorter, more children will be shivering outside the school gates.

Every working parent with young children will know the dilemma of trying to get to work and dropping your kids off without leaving them in the cold, or worse, in danger.

The days that everyone worked convenient nine-to-five shifts are gone and so are the days that most dads went off to work and mum was at home to drop the kids off before getting on with domestic duties.

In Mid Canterbury’s modern society, with the increased cost of living, and our increased expectations for our quality of life, the average family has two parents working fulltime or part-time.

Balancing work and childcare has become a growing issue and source of stress for parents.

And with earlier starting times and shift work, the children and their schools have ended up at the receiving end of this societal change.

Many children are dropped off well before the permitted time of 8.30am and are left out in the cold, literally and figuratively.

Most schools still adhere to the strict guideline to allow their teachers time to prepare, but principal Gavin Cooper at Ashburton Intermediate has realised the necessity of giving his pupils a safe and dry place before the school gates officially open.

The decision to open a dropin centre may be controversial among other educators, but Mr Cooper has to be commended for taking the initiative and dealing with this growing problem.

Critics will argue that schools should not take over the parental duties, but with shivering or starving pupils at their gates, Mr Cooper has taken a pragmatic and socially responsible approach and even thrown in a meal if required.

The demand for pre-school care is growing in Mid Canterbury and some parents simply have no options, so other schools may need to consider their own solutions.

YOUR VIEW Swing voter?

Federated Farmers’ Dairy Chairperson, Willy Leferink, starts his rant about the evils of Labour’s recent economic policy release by telling us that he is a “swing voter”.

By this I presume he means he swings between National, Act or maybe the new right wing zanies, the Conservatives.

I struggle to see how a person with such a dislike for the Greens or Labour could ever “swing” anywhere near the left.

But remembering that Willy represents a particular farming lobby group, no different to a union secretary represents workers, or an MP represents constituents, it is his job to praise the party that will look after him and his dairying mates, and to make sure that they get re-elected to run the country. As long as it is still liveable that is!

how us ya boobs!

That’s exactly what five very brave local ladies and yours truly are doing as a fundraiser for the Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Appeal.

We have had our busts plastered and the casts are currently being transformed by some very talented local artists. Debbie Lambert, Tonee Hurley, Colin Hunt, Heather Sarin, Susie Millichamp, Jen Dearborn, and Karen Smith are the artists working their magic on the busts.

I will leave the models’ identities a secret until the breakfast.

I have had a sneak peak at mine. My artist is Tonee Hurley and she sent me a sneak preview, saying that she had “made a start”. WOW!! It is awesome already and I can’t wait to see the final product.

I am also really looking forward to seeing what Colin Hunt does with his model’s bust.

The finished busts will be unveiled at the Pink Ribbon Breakfast at the Somerset Grocer on May 29. They will stay at the Grocer on display for a couple of weeks.

They will be auctioned on June 11 in the Shed by my old mate Kevin Soster.

This should be a great night and a good chance for the purchasing public to mix with the artists.

I can see this “Busted” event getting bigger and bigger each year as it gets more and more exposure (see what I did there?

Exposure, busts).

Jen from Jen’s Kitchen will also be at the Pink Ribbon Breakfast. She’s offering a chance for 10 ladies to win an exciting cooking class with a renowned chef.

Tickets are only $25 and that includes a coffee and breakfast.

On the subject of good causes, I want to give my friend Deirdre Moses a plug and pat on the back.

Dee has started up Fruit Fund Ashburton with the goal of putting fresh fruit into local schools for kids who may be missing out.

Fruit Fund is also looking out for future generations by planting fruit trees at schools.

I have sponsored two trees for local kindys I attended when I was a wee fella.

I was blown away when the kids at those kindys sent me letters of thanks and some very cool drawings and paintings of their new fruit trees.

Two and a Half Men end The current season of long-running TV comedy Two and a Half Men will be the last. Network bosses at CBS in America have confirmed the series will end later this year, but there are a few surprises in store for fans. The sitcom first aired in 2003 and became an instant ratings success in America.

The show is currently in its 12th season. Original star Charlie Sheen was fired in 2011 following a spat with Lorre, and his role was filled

by Ashton Kutcher.

Vote to deny genocide Guatemala’s Congress approved a non-binding resolution that denies there was any attempt to commit genocide during the bloody 36-year civil war, while calling for “national reconciliation” in the Central American country.

“It is legally impossible ... that genocide could have occurred in our country’s territory during the armed conflict,” said the resolution, which passed with support from 87 of the 158 legislators. - AP

Video leaker fired The rows of open graves for the mine accident victims in Soma, Turkey.

Photo AP

Grisly task of body recovery Amid wails of grief and anger, rescue workers coated in grime trudged repeatedly out of a coal mine yesterday with stretchers of bodies that swelled the death toll to 274 — the worst such disaster in Turkish history.

Hopes faded for 150 others still trapped deep underground in smouldering tunnels filled with toxic gases.

Anti-government protests broke out in the mining town of Soma, as well as Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heckled as he tried to show concern.

Protesters shouted “Murderer!” and “Thief !” and Erdogan was forced to seek refuge in a

supermarket, surrounded by police.

The display of anger could have significant repercussions for the Turkish leader, who is widely expected to run for president in the August election, although he has not yet announced his candidacy.

Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the mine’s entrance yesterday, waiting for news amid a heavy police presence.

Rows of women wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sobbing or simply stared in disbelief as rescue workers removed body after body, some charred beyond recognition.

Energy Minister Taner

Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine at the time of the explosion: 274 died and 363 were rescued, including scores who were injured.

The death toll topped a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near Turkey’s Black Sea port of Zonguldak. It also left 150 miners still unaccounted for.

Yildiz said rescue workers were trying to reach the bodies of up to 22 people trapped in one zone. Some of the workers were 420 metres deep inside the mine, he said.

One rescue worker who declined to be named said he led a 10-man team about half a mile down into the mine’s tunnels, where they recovered three

bodies before being forced to flee because of smoke from burning coal. Rescue operations had to be halted for several hours due to high gas concentrations in the mine.

“Our hope is that, God willing, they will be brought out,” Erdogan said of those still trapped.

Emine Gulsen sat with other women near the entrance to the mine, where her missing son, 31-year-old Mehmet Gulsen, has worked for five years.

“My son is gone! My Mehmet!” she wailed over and over.

Mehmet’s aunt, Makbule Dag, still held out some hope.

“God willing” he will be rescued, she said.

Attack on protesters kills 2, wounds 22 Explosions and an overnight shooting attack on opposition demonstrators in Thailand’s capital killed at least two people yesterday, the latest spasm of violence to hit Bangkok since protesters launched a campaign to oust the government six months ago.

At least 22 people were also wounded in the assaults before dawn near the city’s Democracy Monument, where some protesters are camping out, according to the city’s Erawan Medical Centre, which tracks

casualties. The attack brings the nationwide toll since protests began last November to 27 dead and 800 wounded.

Police Col. Krailert Buakaew said at least three grenades were detonated and machineguns were fired at protesters in the small encampment. He said the dead included one sleeping protester and a volunteer guard. He said investigators are collecting evidence but have so far found only puddles of blood at the scene.

Oyjai Suangchaiyaphum, a

55-year-old protester who was sleeping at the base of Democracy Monument, said attackers fired at least two grenades and an automatic weapon toward their encampment. Oyjai was lightly wounded in the leg by shrapnel, but medics treated her at the spot.

Thailand’s political crisis deepened last week when the Constitutional Court removed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra for nepotism along with nine Cabinet members in a case that many viewed as po-

litically motivated.

Protesters say Yingluck’s removal is not enough, though.

She was simply replaced by a caretaker premier from the ruling party, Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan.

The protesters are pushing the Senate and the nation’s courts to intervene in the crisis to install a “neutral” prime minister, but the government says that is a threat to the nation’s democratic system and would be tantamount to a judicial coup.

A hotel where someone recorded security video appearing to show Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles, attacking Jay Z inside an elevator said it had identified and fired the person. The Standard Hotel said the person had been terminated for “breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video.” Celebrity website TMZ posted the 3-minute video on Monday and said it was shot last week inside a Standard Hotel elevator. The hotel said after the video was first aired that it was “shocked and disappointed” by the security breach.

Venezuela protests Venezuelan security forces arrested scores of people during a sweep of a busy Caracas avenue as protests against the government heat up amid a widening split within the opposition over whether to back possible US sanctions. The protest and police response comes as month-old negotiations aimed at easing tensions hang in the balance. The opposition froze talks with President Nicolas Maduro’s government, saying the climate for dialogue was impossible after the arrest last week of more than 200 student protesters who had been camping for weeks outside the offices of the United Nations and three plazas in the capital.

Warhol selfies sold What’s a selfie worth? If it’s from Andy Warhol and made with a silkscreen rather than a smartphone, the answer is millions.

A series of six of the eccentric American artist’s self-portraits sold at auction yesterday in New York for $30.1 million. Warhol made the vibrant images of himself wearing his famous “fright wig” in 1986 — a year before his death and just over a quarter-century before the Oxford English Dictionary made the suddenly ubiquitous “selfie” its word of the year. Warhol’s trailblazing, if not technologically parallel, take led the bidding at Sotheby’s contemporary art auction and capped a triumphant week for his work.

which measures heavy vehicle activity across major highways, was up for the month. This survey historically has a positive correlation with GDP, so a strong reading indicates that the economy is growing.

In reporting season this week, New Zealand’s preeminent retirement village operator, Ryman Healthcare, has lifted its earnings 43 per cent for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Over the past 12 months Ryman has acquired six new sites, expanding its landbank significantly. The new sites are set to be home to 4208 aged care beds and retirement units.

The company’s Australian

venture is progressing well and has exceeded expectations in terms of sales so far.

Looking forward to the next year, Ryman noted that it will be busy with plenty of building and consent activity, although, as is consistent with past practice, no guidance was given.

This week the New Zealand Government announced its Budget which Finance Minister Bill English said had children and families at its heart.

“This is the first Budget in six years to focus on managing a growing economy rather than recovering from a domestic recession and then the global financial crisis,” Mr English comments.

The Budget, although not a total surprise, saw some clear winners with half of the planned spending allocated to health and education.

An extension to paid parental leave and free GP visits and prescriptions for children under 13 are some of the major

family-orientated initiatives.

These “will provide targeted support for some families to help alleviate those stresses and improve income” according to Social Development Minister Paula Bennett.

Also included is a small initiative to reduce the cost of housing across the country. Importantly the finance minister announced a sizeable surplus of $372 million, more than $100 million more than forecast.

The big news across the Tasman, as it was here, was the federal budget.

However, Australia’s budget was a lot more slash and burn by comparison, with some labelling it the harshest budget in almost 20 years.

A number of measures have been introduced which are aimed at tackling what the government is calling unsustainable deficits such as a 2 per cent rise in income tax for high income earners, public sector job cuts, public spending cuts,

Aaa rating we have on New Zealand,” Hess said. “We don’t see big risks to this – of course the big risks are external in the sense of terms of trade, meaning dairy prices and demand for New Zealand exports and those sorts of shocks are always possible.”

English’s Budget comes ahead of a general election in September, which would likely see higher taxes imposed on upper income earners and increased government spending if the opposition Labour and Green parties took the Treasury benches.

Still, Moody’s Hess thought it unlikely that a change in govern-

ment would see any shift in New Zealand’s “fiscal framework”.

“The Government always strives to avoid deficits and in fact in the current circumstances reduce the debt levels and even a change in government would not affect that,” Hess said.

S&P, which cut New Zealand’s credit rating in 2011 after the Canterbury earthquakes, said the Government was on track to meet its targeted operating surplus in 2015 which would improve the fiscal balance, consistent with its AA foreign currency rating and stable outlook.

S&P last reviewed the rating in August.

Govt surplus meets global rating agency expectations The New Zealand Government’s forecast return to surplus in 2015 is in line with expectations of global rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service and won’t have any immediate bearing on the nation’s sovereign ratings.

Finance Minister Bill English yesterday said the Government will achieve a budget surplus in 2015 of $372 million, wider than the $86 million projected in the half-year economic and fiscal update. A slower return to cash surplus will see the Government issue $3 billion more in bonds to raise $37 billion over the next five years, though net debt is expected to keep declining relative to gross domestic product, falling to 23.8 per cent by 2018 from 27.6 per cent as at March 31.

Moody’s senior vice president Steven Hess told BusinessDesk that English’s sixth budget was what he’d come to expect and showed a government on track and committed to reducing its debt ratio. Moody’s last reviewed New Zealand’s Aaa rating with a stable outlook in January last year.

“The trends here in this particular Budget are quite favourable, therefore we reinforce the

in particular for healthcare and students, and a rise in the pension age.

One concern is that public spending cuts and tax hikes will hurt consumer sentiment and encourage the central bank to keep interest rates at record lows for longer than planned.

Australia’s economy has enjoyed over 20 years of annual growth, weathering the global financial crisis thanks to a mining boom fuelled by strong demand from China – the country’s biggest trading partner. But a slump in mining investment, coupled with a slow response from other parts of the economy, and record low interest rates have hit tax revenue at a time when expenditure has grown.

t has been a good week for markets with all major indexes up and erasing losses from the previous week’s turmoil, although concerns continue to mount in Europe as the Ukraine appears to be slipping closer to civil war.

Despite calls from Russian officials for pro-Russian rebels to stand down, there has been an escalation in violence since the referendum over the weekend.

Russian President Vladimir Putin last week promised to move soldiers back from the border, however, the Ukraine and US both say he hasn’t fulfilled this pledge.

It is feared that unless fighting subsides, presidential elections will not be possible.

The New Zealand market in particular has stood up well, with some better-than-expected earnings results coming out and more positive economic data spurring confidence in our economic recovery.

■ COMPUTERS TAKE THE WHEEL

Google’s self-driving car A

white Lexus cruised along a road near the Google campus, braking for pedestrians and scooting over in its lane to give bicyclists ample space.

It eased into a turn lane, waited for a green light and a break in traffic, then continued on its way in the Silicon Valley city of Mountain View.

But there was nobody at the wheel. What looked like the work of a conscientious driver was a Google car making all the moves - with a journalist in the back seat.

“Computers have really good reaction times. They don’t get distracted, drowsy, fall asleep, and they don’t drive drunk,” Google self-driving car software team lead Dmitri Dolgov told reporters.

“They don’t need to stop messing with the radio to see what is happening, or even take time to move a foot from the gas pedal to the brake.”

The bustling street crowd paid little heed to the self-driving car, which sported a whirling gadget on top about the size and shape of a large coffee tin.

The roof-top device used radar and lasers to track everything around it.

A camera peeking out from the front grill of the Lexus watched what was ahead.

Data is processed by onboard computers programmed to simulate what a careful driver would do, but at super-human speeds.

And, naturally, the Google autonomous car was connected to the internet.

A “Googler” from the technology titan’s test driving team had a laptop computer that showed what the car “saw” - cyclists, traffic signals, orange cones, painted lines in the street.

Computers don’t get distracted, drowsy, or fall asleep . . . nor do they drive drunk.

Another Googler was in the driver’s seat, ready to take over in the unlikely event a human was needed to make a driving decision.

A red button could be hit to grab control from the computer.

A tap of the brake would do the same.

Development of the self-driving car began five years ago, part of a special project headed by Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

“If you are in a car commercial, that is driving we enjoy,” said project director Chris Urmson.

“If you are commuting to work, that is not fun.”

While most people have cars

that can seat four or more and achieve racing speeds, statistics show that much road time is clocked going closer to 48km/h - with only the driver on board.

Google cars navigate using detailed digital maps showing what streets are supposed to look like, then concentrate processing power on assessing realworld variables such as traffic.

The cars can’t be driven where Google hasn’t mapped roadways down to implied speed limits, elevations of traffic signals, and curb heights, says mapping team lead Andrew Chatham.

Prototype Google cars have driven more than 160,000km on public roads, always with some-

one ready to take the wheel.

There have been two accidents while cars were on auto pilot.

Both times, vehicles were rearended while stopped at traffic signals, Urmson says.

“We are at the point where we are really convinced we have cracked this and can make it work,” Urmson said of selfdriving cars being trusted on roads.

Urmson sidestepped predicting when Google self-driving cars might hit the market, but said he is determined to make it happen by the time his six-yearold son reaches driving age.

Brin on the other hand has an even more ambitious goal of

having the cars ready less than four years from now.

A panel of specialists that took part in the event billed the selfdriving car as a quantum leap in safety that could prevent many of the 33,000 roadway deaths in the US each year.

People could be chauffeured to places while they texted, chatted on phones, put on make-up or did other distracting tasks some motorists attempt while driving.

“This is not a science project, this is reality,” said former General Motors vice-president Larry Burns.

“It is something you need to embrace; there is nothing to fear.”

In brief Van Gaal to ManU? Current Netherlands national team coach Louis van Gaal could be appointed as the new manager of Manchester United almost immediately, according to widespread reports in the British media. Van Gaal, 62, quickly emerged as the favourite to become United’s next manager after David Moyes was sacked last month and is reported to have held a meeting with player-coach Ryan Giggs in Holland on Wednesday.

Van Gaal, who has also previously coached Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar and Bayern Munich, is currently preparing the Netherlands squad for next month’s World Cup in Brazil. - AAP

Aces in inquiry New Zealand Cricket have confirmed that games involving the Auckland Aces at the 2012 Champions League in South Africa are being investigated by the ICC. First revealed by the Herald in December, NZC responded following a report in London’s Daily Telegraph, that stated Lou Vincent was seeking a plea bargain with investigators in return for information. Vincent, a former New Zealand batsmen, is co-operating with the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit as it investigates claims of spot-and match-fixing across Asia, South Africa and the UK. He is being investigated, along with former allrounder Chris Cairns and seam bowler Darryl Tuffey. Both deny any wrongdoing.

Godwin ruled out The Western Force’s bid to create franchise history this weekend has been dealt a major blow after star centre Kyle Godwin was grounded by a knee injury. Godwin has been ruled out of tomorrow night’s match against the Stormers in Cape Town, with his absence thrusting 20-year-old debutant Luke Burton into a starting role at inside centre. Winger Dane Haylett-Petty (groin) will also miss the match. Former rugby league back Chris Tuatara-Morrison will start at outside centre in his run-on debut, while Marcel Brache will shift to the wing. The Force have already won seven games this season, and need just one more victory to set a new franchise record for wins in a season. - AAP

No booze culture Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has dismissed suggestions of a booze culture at the club and claims he won’t stop his players from enjoying the occasional night out together.

The NRL premiers have been in lockdown for the most of this week in the wake of Mitchell Pearce’s arrest in Kings Cross last Saturday night. Pearce was hit with a $20,000 fine by the club in addition to being stood down for Saturday’s clash with North Queensland. He’s now in danger of missing the State of Origin opener on May 28 with NSW coach Laurie Daley believed to be considering axing the halfback as a result of his behaviour. Blues back-rower Boyd Cordner was also fined $2,500 after he was ejected from the Clovelly Hotel with Pearce earlier in the day.

Perriton primed for Australia

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Bailie Perriton is back on the bike for the second round of the Australasian Superbike Championship at Mallala in South Australia this weekend.

With the New Zealand season over and a national 250 Production Champion title under his belt, his focus is on claiming an Australian title too.

After a fantastic start in round one of the FX300 Championship at Wakefield Park NSW where he took third place on an almost stock standard bike, he is all fired up to be at the front at Mallala Raceway just north of Adelaide this weekend.

His machine has undergone plenty of upgrades in the past two months to be on a par with the leading bikes.

“I can’t wait to get to South Australia” Perriton said.

“We did some testing a few weeks ago on a new suspension set up, and the bike has had some tuning work in Australia.

I will be looking for victory.”

With the bike set up, it’s now all up to him to navigate a new track and Perriton is hoping

some words of advice from current New Zealand Superbike Champion Dennis Charlett will help him with the tight technical track.

“Dennis has given me some good tips for this track as it was his home circuit when he lived

in Australia.”

It’s another new challenge and every lap of racing and testing will be vital to sharpen the skillset needed to stay at the top in Australia, and prepare him for when he steps up to a 600cc machine later this year.

Test for Veteran Lowndes promoted ready for WA rumble youth side If he doesn’t already hold the record, he’s never too far away.

And V8 Supercars veteran Craig Lowndes is hoping to again make history in Perth this weekend as he fights to snatch back the championship lead from Ford rival Mark Winterbottom.

Lowndes has won 14 races at Barbagallo Raceway - just one shy of Mark Skaife’s all-time record for most victories at a single track at Sydney’s now-defunct Oran Park.

While only two of those triumphs have come since 2000, history remains on Lowndes’ side.

Between he and teammate Jamie Whincup, the Holden-backed Triple Eight outfit have claimed seven of the last 11 races in Western Australia - including all three last year.

Lowndes is banking on that impressive record to claw his way back to the top of the championship leaderboard after a disappointing round in New Zealand a fortnight ago.

The 39-year-old went into the four-race weekend with a small buffer on Ford’s Winterbottom, but walked away with a single podium and 107 points in arrears.

“Obviously we’re going to have bad weekends throughout the year - hopefully we’ve had ours now and we can move forward,” said Lowndes, who was last crowned V8s champion in 1999.

“We’re not slitting our wrists at the moment but it’s important that we turn things around quickly.

“Barbagallo was good to us last year, and I’m looking forward to starting my fight back.”

Five-time defending champion Whincup, meanwhile, is languishing in unfamiliar territory at sixth on the drivers’ standings thanks to similarly poor showings in Auckland and earlier in Winton.

At 166 points adrift of Winterbottom, it’s the furthest behind the championship leader he has been since September 2010 - the year he lost the title to James Courtney.

“We put high expectations on ourselves at Red Bull Racing Australia and we haven’t quite lived up to them at this stage,” Whincup said.

“It’s not all bad though. Historically we’ve had a good run in Perth; it’s been a happy hunting ground and hopefully by the end of the weekend we’ve moved back up the championship ladder slightly.”

After three strong wins in Mainland Football 18th grade division two, Mid Canterbury has been promoted to division one and meet Christchurch Boys’ High School in a tough test first up tomorrow.

The 18th grade side had scored 18 goals and conceded just three in their three wins to open the season with the strong performances seeing Mainland Football promote them to division one but they won’t have things as easy in the top grade.

They come up to division one in place of a relegated Waimak U18A that had conceded 21 goals and only scored three in four losses.

In division one, Mid Canterbury will hope that their week off last week was enough for a fresh start when they are away to Hornby United chasing a second win for the season.

In division four Mid Canterbury Eastern are at home to Western while a winless Methven host Cashmere Technical and the Mid Canterbury Masters are away to High School Old Boys’.

On Sunday the Mid Canterbury Women are away to Nomads.

Rugby girls post cricket score against Timaru

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton College Girls’ 1st XV has scored an incredible 313 points in three games in the South Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Girls Rugby competition.

Their latest effort was a 102-

0 thrashing of Timaru Girls’ High School.

Naomi Cone, Nicole Purdom and Emma Waite all scored early tries which Cone converted to build a big early lead which they were able to stretch out to 47-0 at halftime.

In the second half, Timaru Girls threw all they had into

their defence and did everything they could to hold College back, but the hosts kept on coming to the tune of 55 unanswered second half points.

Annie McDonald opened the second half scoring while new winger Kate Donald provided some highlights with two blistering runs and dazzling eva-

sions to add more points to the College board as they ran out to a 102 win, their lowest total of the season after a 107-0 win over Waimate High School and a 106-5 win over Geraldine.

Next week they head south to meet St Kevin’s on their home turf, a match that will surely test the College defences.

Hampstead frets over no-shows

By Jonathan Leask

Regan Broker is not a happy president of the Hampstead Rugby Club.

He is fed up with having to find players for his senior team in the Combined Country Cup on game day.

“The structure here at the moment is not too flash and we are working hard to sort it out,” Broker said.

“Most of the senior team is night shift workers and it makes it a pain for trainings but there isn’t a lot we can do about that.

“It’s when they leave us stranded on a Saturday morning and don’t front up.”

The frustrated Broker, a club centurion, is calling on the players to take more pride in the blue and gold jersey rather than leaving the club in the lurch.

“We have used something like 40 different guys to play seniors but haven’t fielded the same

team all season and it shows in the results.”

To date Hampstead are without a win and they hit rock bottom last week when they were convincingly beaten 0-31 by a previously winless Oxford.

Making the situation more frustrating is while the seniors languish at the bottom of the combined competition, the B team was second in the senior B first round and the rest of the club is prospering.

“We get around 12 or more senior Bs to training and only four or five seniors and that reflects the way the Bs are playing compared to the As but you can’t force the Bs to step up to As. “It’s also frustrating considering our JAB is so strong and if we can keep that going for five years the club will be in good stead.

“But if we lose our seniors we will lose JAB players.”

Regan Broker

It’s a big off-field challenge for the club and they also face a big challenge on the field tomorrow when they head up the road to face an unbeaten Methven team in a match that doubles as a combined competition and Watters Cup round robin match.

Methven’s defence has been impregnable in their past four games only conceding nine points, and they have beaten Hampstead in the last 12 meetings.

Rakaia faces the toughest test in section one, hosting defending champions Southbridge.

In section two, both Mid Canterbury sides are looking to break losing streaks. Celtic are on a three-game losing skid and head away to West Melton while Southern is staring down seventh straight losses against Burnham-Dunsandel.

Points Section One: Southbridge 25, Methven 21, Rakaia 21, Ashley 17, Darfield 13, Prebbleton 9, Kaiapoi 6, Oxford 4, Hampstead 2.

Section two: Waihora 25, Burn-Duns 18, Glenmark 16, Lincoln 16, Celtic 15, West Melton 13, Saracens 8, Southern 2, Ohoka 2.

Kieran Read is again missing from the Crusaders’ line-up as they host the top-of-the-table Sharks in Super 15 rugby in Christchurch tomorrow.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder made three changes to the team that beat the Reds last weekend in his side to play the Sharks but there was no return for Read from a prolonged stint on the side-lines following a head knock against the Chiefs on April 19.

Blackadder said Read was again ruled out of contention early in the week rather than pressuring him to be ready to play with little time to prepare.

“Kieran was still showing some really minor signs of concussion at the start of the week and, given that it’s been a short week for us to prepare anyway due to a late flight back from Brisbane, we decided the sensible thing to do was to make the call early that he wouldn’t be available,” Blackadder said.

“He hasn’t been able to fully participate in contact training for a little while so we’re better off giving him more space and time to get back to 100 per cent.”

Read’s absence has Luke Whitelock retain the number eight jersey.

The Crusaders will also be without All Black lock Luke Romano after he broke his ankle against the Reds which has Dominic Bird partner up with Samuel Whitelock. Former Mid Canterbury prop Tim Perry retains his spot on the bench behind Wyatt Crockett.

Halfbacks Willi Heinz and Andy Ellis have rotated again so that Heinz takes the starting spot for his 50th Crusaders game.

The final change is at fullback, where Tom Taylor will step into the fold in place of Israel Dagg.

“Leaving Izzy out of the mix this week is purely preventative,” Blackadder said.

“We’ve been really happy with the way he’s been playing, but there are some early signs of wear and tear and we just want to make sure that we manage that so that he can continue to play at his best.”

The Crusaders have won their last five games while the competition leading Sharks have lost two of their last three.

Departing Bateman puts family first Tim Bateman has put family first in his decision to leave the Hurricanes at the end of the Super Rugby season.

The second-five will return to Japan on a two-season contract and link with the Coca-Cola West Red Sparks in Fukuoka where he played between 2010 and 2012 before he moved to Wellington to join the Hurricanes.

Bateman’s wife Laura was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year and he said limited

treatment options in New Zealand meant his hand was slightly forced as he looked to continue his playing career.

“She needed to show a level of deterioration before they fund her treatment whereas you can go away and it became a bit of a no-brainer really,” Bateman said.

“It’s been a long process and it’s not that nice seeing her struggling a little bit and not getting what she needs. So we made the decision to go.”

Bateman said the Coca Cola

club had been accommodating of his wife’s needs and they would live close to Japan’s top specialist on the disease.

“Everything we’ve read about MS is [getting] treatment early is really important,” the 26-yearold said. “So we’ve decided to go with that but hopefully we can come back because ideally we’d be here.”

Bateman and his wife have two daughters and although there’s no family support for them in Japan, the access to better treat-

ment for Laura trumped every option.

Japan’s Top League offers a family-friendly schedule with fewer games compared to a year of Super Rugby and the ITM Cup, which means less travel for Bateman.

Bateman, who played for the Crusaders from 2007-2010, didn’t rule out returning to New Zealand in the future but said it would depend on what treatment was available for his wife.

Teacher packs a punch

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After shedding 43kg and claiming a New Zealand Muay Thai title, Kelly Kinita’s short journey leading to Ashburton’s own mixed martial arts fight night tomorrow is nothing short of remarkable.

The Ashburton College relief teacher will feature in the only female fight on the nine-strong card for the second edition of MMA at the MSA, where she will go toe-to-toe in just her second MMA fight.

Two years ago Kinita tipped the scales at 120kg, and later decided to take up Muay Thai to get into shape.

She now weighs in at 77kg and has a national title in the discipline.

Although MMA can come with different demands, she has a no-nonsense approach that goes hand-in-hand with the combative sport – but admits she’s not always so tough.

“You do have to be tough, but to be honest I’m a bit of a girly girl.

Girls’ XV carves up P19

“I’ve been out of the ring since October after I pulled ligaments in my leg, but I have been doing a lot of fitness work.

“When I get in the ring I want to move around a lot and have a high work rate, along with some long crisp hits and I want to make them count.”

Kinita only moved to Ashburton six weeks ago and took up the teaching role at the college, but she has quickly found her feet in a town where MMA - the world’s fastest growing sport is attracting a following.

MMA at the MSA organiser Aaron Walton said last year’s inaugural event saw 400 spectators through the turnstiles, and he hoped even more would turn out.

“Last year’s crowd really blew me away, it was such a good show and this year’s is going to be even better,” he said.

The event at 6pm at the Ashburton MSA will see a raft of local fighters, as well as three competitors from Christchurch, two from Dunedin and one from Timaru.

Above - Kelly Kinita prepares for her bout for MMA at the MSA tomorrow night.
