Mock crash sends stern message to students

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

Ashburton College Year 12 students were presented with a first-hand look at the effects of a fatal car crash yesterday.

As part of the school’s road crash day, a mock crash played out outside the school, with four members of the school’s student executive acting as a victims, one of whom was ‘killed’.

Messages such as not to drink and drive, wear your seatbelt and always keep your eyes on the road, were presented in as life-like manner as possible.

The full range of emergency services were present, including Police, Ashburton Fire Brigade and St John Ambulance, as well at staff from Paterson’s Funeral Services.

Deputy principal Ron Creswell said the school has been running the day for as long as he could remember, and that it is a great event put on by the community.

“It is a bit of an expensive event to put on as a community, but if it can make the difference for a small number of people, that is priceless,” he said.

“We always hold it a week before the ball to reinforce the messages.”

Holdem refused parole Child predator Peter Holdem has been refused parole, after being assessed as needing “immense” rehabilitation.

Holdem was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1987, for the murder of Christchurch schoolgirl Louisa Damodran.

The 6-year-old was abducted as she walked home from school, throttled, and dumped in a river.

A Parole Board hearing on May 29 has decided Holdem has a “significant” amount of work to complete before his threat to society is reduced. He is still considered a high risk for both violent and sexual offending.

To go along with the messages delivered from the mock crash, the students also took part in four workshops at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

The workshops, run by the

emergency services and The Ripple Effect, aimed to reinforce the ideas the students had learnt from the mock crash.

Ashburton District Council roading and safety worker Jere-

my Lambert played a major part in the planning of the event.

Lambert said they had started working in March to pull all the groups together to make it happen.

Hakatere Huts erosion report out soon A report on the coastal erosion which forced the closure of a visitors’ carpark in the upper Hakatere Huts settlement will be completed in the coming weeks.

Environment Canterbury’s hazards and coastal team leader Justin Cope will visit the site next week to assess the damage caused by recent high seas ahead of preparing a report for the Hakatere community.

Ashburton District Council issued notice of the closure of the park at the end of Hakatere Drive two weeks ago.

Council roading manager Brian Fauth said coastal erosion caused by high seas had caused further damage and the cliff edge was now unstable.

The area will be permanently fenced off, and pedestrians have been warned to stay well clear of the cliff edge.

Parking is available further back from the cliffs and in the designated area in the lower Hakatere settlement.

Police issue warning over ticketed social events michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Think twice before organising an event involving ticket sales where attendees supply their own alcohol, Mid Canterbury police warn.

Senior sergeant Scott Banfield said police had become aware of several local groups planning to run events to promote bands, sports clubs or other fundraising ventures, offering food and a

courtesy van as part of the ticket price, but guests were invited to bring their own alcohol.

“Police acknowledge that the intentions of these events are sound, however organisers and those attending will commit offences against the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012,” he said.

Under the Act, organisers can be fined up to $20,000 and those attending, up to $2000.

Any such event must have ei-

ther an on licence or, if the event is a one off, to consult with the Ashburton District Council licensing section.

“The application fee for a special licence is approximately $100 which is significantly less than the potential fines for organisers and those attending such events,” Banfield said.

“We would rather educate organisers than prosecute for offending.”

However the new Local Alcohol Plan (LAP) comes in to effect in August, police will be expected to hold people who ignore the advice or the new regulations around the LAP accountable, he said.

“Alcohol causes significant harm within our community and legislation and the enforcement of that legislation promotes a safer environment for all,” Banfield said.

Best birds on the show bench

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Conversation gave way to clucks, hisses and quacks in Ashburton’s Sports Hall yesterday as hundreds of prize poultry went under the eyes of experts all in the name of chasing championship titles.

Day one of the Ashburton Fanciers’ Society Show saw judges taking each bird from its cage to assess how

close it came to the perfect specimen of its type. And to a person, those judges said they were impressed with what they saw.

Christchurch man Ashley Shadbolt held the bench honours of the heavy breeds in his hands. Early morning he was checking out the talent with the black and buff orpingtons, judging each for depth of colour, size, roundness of body and feather conformation.

With good numbers in most classes, Shadbolt said it wasn’t always easy finding a winner. “I’m really pleased with the quality I’m see-

ing, particularly with next week’s big Christchurch show coming up; it’s good people have made the effort to bring birds to Ashburton,” he said.

Next week he’ll be swapping his judging tags for exhibitor tags.

Ashburton society president John Taylor was doing double duty at the show, judging ducks and geese and exhibiting lighter breed poultry and bantams.

While he’s showing some of his top birds, he’s also caged a few novices to the show bench to give them experience of being handled by strangers.

Like all judges, Taylor knows that not every show bird is a friendly bird, and midway through yesterday’s judging he was still ruing a run in with an angry drake that had bitten him on the neck.

With that still fresh in his mind, Taylor admitted he wasn’t too keen on hauling a pair of heavyweight geese from their cage to judge.

The poultry show is open to the public 1pm today.

Prank radio interview turns sour

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

What was supposed to be a dream interview turned sour for More FM breakfast show host Simon Barnett yesterday.

The former Ashburton College head boy thought he was fulfilling his own Mission Impossible by scoring a telephone interview

with superstar Tom Cruise.

Cruise is in New Zealand to film Mission Impossible 6, in the remote Rees Valley, Otago.

Barnett told listeners he was up at 2.30am buzzing with excitement about the interview and gushed to a supposed Cruise about how much he loved his work.

After talking for about 15 minutes about the Hollywood legend’s career and movies, Barnett was devastated to hear other voices come on the line.

They were of The Edge’s Dominic Harvey and Jay-Jay Harvey, revealing the man he was talking to was an imposter.

Fellow radio host Samantha

Baxter burst into tears and afterwards told listeners it was a “cheap gag”, while fellow radio host Gary McCormick described it as “a betrayal”.

“To me that is low rent, that is not funny … there’s something ghastly about being hoodwinked in a negative way,” Barnett said.

Hundreds of texts of support for

Barnett flooded into the station.

Over on The Edge they were far from victorious, with Jay-Jay saying the prank was supposed to be funny but she felt “bad” and “terrible” it had not turned out that way.

Barnett has vowed to carry on his Mission Impossible for an interview with Cruise.

Methven has two liquor chains to choose from

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven will soon have two national liquor chain outlets in town following the Brown Pub extending its bottle shop.

Brown Pub owner operators Trev den Baars and Deb Taylor have joined the Liquor Centre buying group, so the humble bottle shop at the back of the hotel which has served the town for years is now almost triple its original size.

It is the Methven Liquor Centre, and will join another new bottle shop in town in serving the Methven public – Methven Super Liquor, planned to open in the first week of July.

Liquor Centre is the largest liquor chain in both sales volume and store number with more than 230 stores nationwide, while Super Liquor has over 125 stores nationwide.

Nekita Enterprise’s application for the Super Liquor off-licence attracted opposition from Methven residents concerned about an increase in premises selling alcohol and a threat to existing businesses.

The new Methven Liquor Centre did not necessitate an offlicence application, because the Brown Pub bottle store already has an off-licence.

Den Baars said the extensions to the bottle store had been planned for some time, being

Brown Pub owner operator Trev den Baars is busy with renovations and extensions at the pub’s bottle store, now Methven Liquor Centre.

PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 130617-SS-012 among a long list of repairs and improvements following damage to the hotel in the Canterbury Earthquakes.

However, following Super Liquor planning to open in the town, he and Taylor had decided to go

with a co-operative buying group, and chose Liquor Centre.

“By being a part of the group it helps us with variety and competitive pricing,” den Baars said.

The hotel had undertaken an informal poll on social media,

and found customers wanted variety. With regard to any community concern about an increase of alcohol promotion and sale in town, he said the store was aiming to cater to existing customers and visitors to town.

“We aren’t looking at sales going through the roof, it’s more being consistent,” he said.

The shop is operating but renovation work is still under way and an official opening will be held within a fortnight.

Govt disputes child wellbeing report Ministers have disputed New Zealand’s shameful ranking near the bottom of a child wellbeing report released this week.

The Unicef – Innocenti study ranked New Zealand 34th out of 41 OECD countries.

A core reason for this was our adolescent suicide rates, the highest in the world, and high rates of teen pregnancy, baby mortality and child murder.

A Ministry for Vulnerable Children spokeswoman said they were concerned with the way the report was compiled. Much of New Zea-

land’s data wasn’t in line with EU definitions, which meant it could not be used.

As a result areas where New Zealand could provide data, such as health, were over-represented in the ranking.

“Our overall results are overly influenced down by a few key areas which we know about and are working to improve.”

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman believed conditions had improved for vulnerable Kiwis.

He cited the increased immunisation target that has seen 92 per

cent of 8-month-olds receive their immunisations on time, a $2 million increase to prevent sudden infant death syndrome and free doctors’ visits and prescriptions for under-13s.

“This is supported by the extra $888 million being invested into health services for 2017/18 which is the biggest increase in 11 years.

This takes health investment to a record $16.77 billion in 2017/18, an increase of around $5 billion across our nine Budgets.”

Acting Minister for Children Amy Adams said the Government

was taking many steps to care for children.

This included Budget 2017’s $2 billion per year Family Incomes Package, which will lift families’ incomes by an average of $26 a week.

She said it was expected to lift 20,000 families above the threshold for severe housing stress and reduce the number of children living in families receiving less than half the median income by around 50,000.

The Government had also invested a further $11.6 billion in

Unicef executive director Vivien Maidaborn said the damning report proved that the country needed a more child-centred policy approach.

■ ROTARY CLUB OF ASHBURTON

Lois is a really good sort Dedicated volunteer Lois Hill was presented with the Rotary Club of Ashburton’s inaugural Good Sorts award on Wednesday night.

The club initiated the honour as a way of recognising members of the local community whose extraordinary efforts often fly under the radar.

Lois was the first recipient of the award which was presented

by The Rotary Club of Ashburton club president Bevan Rickerby.

In a citation read out at the ceremony, she was described as someone who has given up many hours of her spare time to help other people.

“Lois Hill is an amazing lady.

Even now at the age of 78, Lois can still be found at the MacKenzie Centre on a Monday and Thursday helping prepare lunch for the

groups that frequent the centre.

“Lois herself, who for health reasons of her own is now unable to drive, gets herself along to the centre on her trusty mobility scooter.”

Adding to Lois’ list of volunteer work is her 10 years on the local Alzheimer’s committee, often spending time with people while their main caregiver was able to take a break, providing respite.

Lois volunteered as a mother’s helper, acting as a ‘babysitter’ for families by helping out with house duties and caring for children, if someone had experienced ACC surgery, or an illness.

This was run by local volunteer group, Mother’s Helpers.

She also volunteered as a reader/writer for Ashburton College for four years and worked with the IHC as a carer and helped with

sleepovers at many of the local IHC houses.

It was during this time that Lois was an advocate for a man named, Bill.

“Bill has cerebral palsy,” read the citation. “For 20 years, Lois would take Bill down to the Tinwald Tavern where he could just be like everyone else, having a beer, putting a couple of dollars in the pokies and often having a meal at The Stables.”

This is something that they would do every three weeks, but came to an end when Bill moved to Christchurch.

Alongside all the visiting Lois still does to local resthomes, she still manages to head to the EA Networks Centre pool with two other friends, three times a week for a swim.

Sharing the food and stories of home

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

What better way to thank the country that has given you a new life than by sharing the food of your homeland.

And that’s exactly what several former refugees have done. They’ve taken their favourite recipes, food that speaks of the country they have left behind and have had them published in a cookbook to raise funds for New Zealand Red Cross.

That book, Taste of Cultures, not only contains carefully chosen recipes from 12 cultures, it also tells the story of the people and the challenges they have faced to start again in a new country. It is a journey through their lives.

Long-time Red Cross member Pat O’Brien is promoting the book locally, saying it was a great way to showcase the many cultures that had been as-

sisted by the organisation.

Red Cross was the primary provider of community refugee resettlement in New Zealand and was privileged to be able to support and empower new Kiwis as they rebuilt their lives, she said.

Those contributing to the book ranged from a Polish refugee who had arrived in New Zealand in 1944 through to very recent arrivals.

O’Brien is a long-time supporter of the organisation. She became involved in Red Cross in 1975 with the Lowcliffe/Coldstream branch, was national president from 2001-2004 and in 2005 was given the title of Councillor of Honour. She is currently president of the Tinwald branch.

Taste of Cultures is available from Ashburton’s Red Cross shop on Burnett Street. All proceeds from book sales go to the New Zealand Red Cross for work both at home and overseas.

Northland ‘miracle baby’ defies odds

Bo-Deene Stephens holds baby Souljah-Rhythm Sam Edwards, who was born four months premature on Christmas Eve, 2016.

PHOTO PETER DE GRAAF/NORTHERN ADVOCATE copter and flown to Auckland City Hospital where Souljah was born at 3am on December 24. He wasn’t breathing so she had no chance to hold him before he was whisked away for CPR. “I didn’t know if he was alive or not,” she said.

An hour later she was wheeled in to the neo-natal intensive care unit to see him. He weighed just 815g, one eye was still fused shut and his skin was transparent. He needed a ventilator to breathe and was covered in tubes and wires.

Ms Stephens was told the first

three days were the honeymoon, then she had to brace herself for the possibility of losing him. He was a week old before she was able to hold him.

As he put on weight she was able to hold him more often, but he was three months old before she could

kiss him. Ms Stephens stayed at Ronald McDonald House, but was troubled by anxiety and helplessness. Support from her home town helped her through, she said.

“It felt like all of Kaikohe was messaging me and supporting me ... Everyone was praying: our church, my family, my town. The support blew me away.”

She was contacted by Danielle Smith, the Kaikohe-born former world boxing champion who now owns a gym in Auckland, who gave her private training sessions to get her out of hospital.

Ms Smith also organised a series of fundraisers to make sure Ms Stephens didn’t lose her Hush Dance Studio while she was in hospital and unable to pay rent on the building. About 30 children aged 4-16 attended her classes and would have been disappointed if it had closed.

After two months mother and baby were transferred to Whangarei Hospital and after four months they finally went home. He now weighs 5.4kg, roughly where he would be if he was born on his due date of April 13.

Souljah may have to keep living up to his name because he’s likely to have lung problems for life, but his mum’s just happy he’s made it so far. Most boys born so premature don’t survive, she said. – NZN

A “miracle baby” who has survived against the odds after he was born four months premature at a tiny 815g is now home in Kaikohe with his proud mum.

Souljah-Rhythm Sam Edwards was born on Christmas Eve at 24 weeks – 26 weeks is usually considered the minimum for survival – to first-time mother Bo-Deene Stephens.

The pair spent 115 days in hospital and had their first day out in public this week when Ms Stephens, a teacher aide and hip-hop instructor, took him along when she judged a dance competition.

He is still on oxygen and sleeps with a device that alerts his mum if he stops breathing, but is otherwise doing well.

Souljah was named after a cousin who died in 2015, but the little battler has already more than lived up to his name.

Ms Stephens, 27, said she was Christmas shopping in Kerikeri when she started getting severe pains. At that time she had no idea she was going into labour.

Souljah’s father drove her to a GP, then to hospital in Kawakawa, and finally to Whangarei. There a scan showed the baby was in the birth position and ready to make his exit. By then the contractions were five minutes apart.

She was bundled into a heli-

AJ Gairns’ Karen Davies carries a photo in her wallet. A photo of a young man with a mischievous smile – sitting on Santa’s knee. It would be her son’s last Christmas – and his tragic death continues to haunt Ashburton’s collective conscience three years on.

Guardian reporter Michelle Nelson followed those now convicted of causing his death through court, where a seedy undercurrent of addiction and desperation in a quiet country town is exposed.

A

rran James (AJ) Gairns’ family and friends always sat on the same side of the court; closest to the jury.

They have followed the appearances of the four accused of causing AJ’s death by manslaughter and assault with the intention to rob him of methamphetamine (meth) from day one. And they will be there when the fourth and final sentencing takes place next month.

Desmond Kapi Marshall was 46 at the time, and apparently a relative outsider to the group he was jointly charged with – all in their mid-20s; all they had in common was an over-riding need to score meth.

Marshall admitted his part early in the piece and was sentenced to four-and-a-half years’ imprisonment in August, 2014, less than three months after AJ drowned in a stormwater levee behind Bunnings on West Street.

Olivia Toby Frances Lucas, Verdun Ashleigh Perry and Kooly Te Tomo all denied the charges and eventually fronted court this year.

Lucas and Perry were tried together in the High Court in Timaru in February. Seven days later, after just two hours’ deliberation, the jury found them guilty. They both received three-and-a-half years in prison.

Justice Gerald Nation imposed strict suppression orders on publication of many details of this trial to protect Te Tomo’s right to a fair trial.

Te Tomo did not appear before the jury until May – he too was convicted on both charges and currently awaits sentencing in custodial remand.

AJ’s family, friends and supporters had spent almost three years to the day waiting for this result.

But there are no winners here.

Five families were decimated by the prevalence of meth in our community.

Lucas, Perry and Te Tomo’s supporters were also present in the courtroom during the respective trials. They too have been confronted with the horror of AJ’s last hours on earth and the part their children played in his death; they called “I love you” as their children were led into custody.

Led by Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae, Perry candidly discussed his involvement in the events leading up to AJ’s death during Te Tomo’s trial. He “walked” the jury through a re-enactment of the scene near the “workshop” – a shed frequented by drug users in

life

Pearson’s bus yard on West Street, using a blown-up aerial photo of the crime scene.

At the time of the offending, the now-sentenced prisoner was living a seemingly uneventful life – in the parlance of criminal and legal circles, he was a ‘clean skin’ – a person with no court record whatsoever.

Working for an agricultural company, Perry had a company car, a company phone and was apparently well respected, although cracks were beginning to show, according to a witness at his trial.

In the hours before AJ died Perry had been in Christchurch with Stacey Curtis, called as a Crown witness in both trials.

It was a planned trip on a Friday evening after work. He had invited Curtis to tag along. He had been friends with the solo mum for years and thought she might like a break from the kids, he told the court.

Lucas agreed to babysit the children at Curtis’ rental home on Havelock Street. She had returned from Wellington to collect her belongings. She only planned to be in Ashburton for a couple of days before returning to Wellington where she aimed to build a new life with her two children.

The details of the trip to Christchurch were sketchy. Both Perry and Curtis were vague about the intentions or what exactly they did. Perry said he visited a friend; Curtis later complained about being kept waiting in a text message to Lucas.

In any event, the pair arrived back in Ashburton about midnight, to find Te Tomo, reportedly Lucas’ former partner, at Curtis’ home.

During both trials, it emerged Te Tomo had been on a meth bender and hadn’t slept for several days. All consumed meth at the address.

AJ and his partner Leanne had also travelled to Christchurch. In the witness box during both trials, Leanne spoke of a friendship which grew over lunch dates and pool tables into a relationship over a couple of years. She also talked about mounting problems developing between the couple, centred on AJ’s use of meth. Eventually she joined her sister in Australia for a break.

At times AJ would be high for several days at a time, she said. She “hated P”, although she confessed to using the drug with AJ in the hours before he died. That said, she loved him, and they had made a deal; she would return to Ashburton and AJ if he gave up the drug and, if he stayed clean for three

months, he could have a weekend “on it”.

And with that in mind, AJ met his dealer in a carpark in Christchurch – where he purchased a gram of meth for $900.

In court several people close to AJ confirmed he had been clean for several months.

His stepfather gave evidence of a changed man, a man who had secured a job and was up early every morning to get there. He knew AJ had tinkered with drugs from his mid-teens, but described a shift in his attitude in the months before he died.

Karen also attested to this when interviewed on the first anniversary of her son’s death.

AJ and Leanne were living in the ‘whare’ – a sleepout on the Davies’ property. She knew her son was on the right path and looked forward to a brighter future for him; AJ was growing up, in her words.

AJ’s dealer spoke of an enduring friendship. The ‘boys’ often partied away weekends in his garage doping on ecstasy and the prescription drug Ritalin, before meth infiltrated their lives.

He admitted “things got pretty crazy” for a while, but life intervened; he became a father and his priorities changed. He did, how-

ever, still have contacts and after a hiatus lasting several months, agreed to score for his mate AJ on May 30.

In the dry Selwyn riverbed AJ had his first hit in months.

AJ and Leanne continued the journey south, stopping to shoot some pool at the Dunsandel pub before heading home. There they chatted, smoked some more meth and watched a movie.

AJ was on his phone constantly, Leanne told the court.

He had apparently had a change of heart and decided to sell the rest of the meth. He left the whare high, with the intention of recouping his money to pay a family debt, she said.

Leanne was “happy” – her man planned to be back within half an hour and without the meth; but she wouldn’t see him alive again.

One of the people AJ contacted was Lucas – the person painted by the Crown as the orchestrator of the attack on AJ which ended in his death.

At some point in the early hours of May 31, Marshall had joined the crew gathered at Curtis’ home.

In the witness box, Curtis said she didn’t know Marshall but felt uncomfortable with him “around her kids”. Despite the fact she had

ethamphetamine acts by raising levels of several neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. By increasing the activity of these neurotransmitters in the brain, methamphetamine can deliver a powerful, temporary boost to energy and mood.

Short-term effects of methamphetamine use can include the following: – Increased energy and mania.

– Increased blood pressure and heart rate.

– Increased body temperature, sometimes to dangerous levels.

– Heavy sweating.

– Loss of appetite.

– Insomnia.

– Paranoia.

– Tremors and jaw clenching.

– Obsessive focus on performing repetitive actions.

left them with known users to accompany Perry to Christchurch, she trusted Lucas and Te Tomo.

Perry told the court it was the first time all five had socialised together. He knew of Marshall, but hadn’t met him personally, he said.

He said the same of AJ. Te Tomo though, had known AJ since he was a kid – his parents were friends with the Gairns, and had rented a home from them at some stage, his lawyer told the court.

Lucas agreed to meet AJ to discuss a drug deal. She talked, via text messages, to Curtis – who in turn agreed not to tell Te Tomo of her plan and to lend Lucas her van.

During her trial Lucas’ lawyer said she was afraid of Te Tomo having been the victim of assault at his hands. Despite this she mouthed, “I love you” as she left the witness box during his trial.

She picked AJ up and took him to the workshop where they both smoked meth and discussed selling it in “points” (0.1gm). Lucas text messaged Curtis asking her to arrange some sales.

Back at the workshop the situation was unravelling. Lucas claimed AJ was treating her like a “crack whore” – willing to trade drugs for sex. As there were no wit-

nesses to Lucas’ allegations, we are left to take her word for it, nonetheless she formulated a plan to rob him of the drugs as payback.

Lucas returned to Curtis’ home to collect point bags to divvy up the meth. Who discussed what with whom is not clear. All were high and all had different versions of what happened. Whatever took place the facts remain – Marshall, Te Tomo and Perry left in Perry’s car to stake out the workshop, while Lucas took Curtis’ van and collected AJ. But something had rattled him.

In a text message to Te Tomo, Lucas described AJ as paranoid, jumpy, sketchy and said he was “looking under bushes”. She drove into the bus yard and pulled up at the workshop. AJ got out of the van shouting, challenging whoever was there to show themselves.

As Curtis drove off she heard him screaming; presumably he had encountered his assailants.

Again this information was relayed in a text message, this time to Curtis. Text messages interspersed with LOL – laugh out loud, flew back and forward between the parties on that night – a point highlighted during the trials. Even as AJ drew his last breath, those responsible continued to “LOL”

the night away, according to transcripts produced as evidence.

Prosecutor Andrew McRae told the court AJ was left with three choices; to surrender his drug stash, to flee or to fight. Outnumbered three-to-one, there was only one choice – that was to run.

AJ bolted and hid in the freezing waters of Mill Creek, while the three men hunted for him. A nearby security light eventually activated, giving his position away.

He was dragged from the creek pleading with his attackers, promising to get them some meth and swearing he didn’t have any with him.

Perry recalled seeing AJ on the ground with Marshall holding a machete to his throat demanding the drugs. He was punched on the chin and fell backwards into the creek, he was pulled out again and threatened by Te Tomo with a “boot ride” in Perry’s car.

A noise briefly distracted the men and AJ managed to escape his attackers again. He was last seen running for his life. Perry told police AJ would have been “terrified” throughout the ordeal.

Despite a systematic and determined search the men were unable to find him.

Following the botched robbery,

Dealers are reportedly lacing cannabis with meth to hook more customers. the three men joined Lucas back at Curtis’ home. Suspicion boiled over; did one of the men have the meth – had all three used it?

As day broke, AJ’s mother and Leanne were frantically trying to contact him. It was completely out of character for him to go offline.

Both knew in their hearts something was terribly wrong.

AJ’s body was discovered in the levee by a teenage boy, some 36 hours after police alleged he died.

Almost invisible in the weeds, he was lying face up with his arms crossed over his chest. His family still questions this; if he drowned and was undisturbed surely, he would have been face down?

Once word of the discovery of a body in the levee broke, those involved in the plot to rob AJ scrambled to cover their tracks. They were no more capable of that than they were of executing the poorlyhatched plan to rob him.

When AJ’s phone was found the party was over. The string of texts between those involved told the story. Police found just 0.5 gram of meth in AJ’s pocket, despite Lucas reporting he had two “whams” (grams) in his hand earlier.

Justice Nation told the jury that even though meth was an illegal substance, those accused of caus-

ing AJ’s death had no right to rob him of it.

Whatever happened during that encounter on a pitch black, freezing night, a man is dead and he died for a tiny amount of meth at the hands of people he knew.

The stars had aligned to create a perfect storm.

Had Lucas not chosen to return to Ashburton that weekend, had AJ not chosen to break his threemonth clean spell, had Perry not taken Curtis to Christchurch, had Marshall not turned up at Curtis’ home the outcome may well have been different. We will never know.

All that mattered in their sleepdeprived, drug-addled minds was the meth. No-one had the sense to call time on the idea to set AJ up to rob him. The trials may be over, but Lucas, Perry and Te Tomo have all indicated their decision to appeal, and for those who loved AJ it will never be over.

Headlines describing him as the “body in the ditch” were particularly painful. It hurts that he is remembered in that way.

To them he was a loving son, who looked after his mother, a brother, uncle and a man described by friends as a “good bugger”; a “nice joker”.

AJ’s life counted.

The history of Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury In 1994 a volunteer centre was proposed by the local charity branch of Aotearoa Mature Employment Services (AMES).

AMES was funded to provide employment support and recruitment to people in Timaru over the age of 40.

It was felt by the trustees of AMES that volunteering would be a good way of getting experience to return to work. A small committee was formed and an informal Timaru Volunteer Centre offering recruitment and referral was started on the 2nd floor above Morton’s on the corner of Stafford St and Cains Terrace in late 1994. The office space, desk, phone and volunteers were provided by AMES. At Christmas time in 1995 and 1996 a Christmas tree was placed in Stafford Mall for volunteers to place their thoughts on the tree.

The service was found to be useful so continued until 1997 when AMES folded.

Early in 2006 the need for a locally-based volunteer service was established and a steering group was formed to initiate a trial volunteer centre in Mid and South Canterbury.

From community feedback it was clearly identified there was a significant need for a locallybased operation in the Aoraki area. This operation would provide for and promote all aspects of volunteering in our region.

Through the generosity of support of the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury, Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury Inc. was able to commence operation at the beginning of 2007, taking up office in the trust’s newly-renovated Community House in Timaru.

Prior to 2007 volunteering in Mid & South Canterbury came under Volunteering Canterbury.

Volunteer Canterbury was instrumental in providing support during the set-up process.

Founder of the Student Army, Sam Johnson, will be the guest speaker at the birthday celebrations for Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury this month.

PHOTO SUPPLIED Funding was sourced to allow the appointment of a full-time co-ordinator (Joy Sylvia) and a full time office administrator. At this stage Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury was still part of Volunteering Canterbury.

Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury gained charity registration on June 30, 2008.

The area covered by Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury is from the sea to the mountains and from the Rakaia River to the Waitaki River. This area covers

four district councils and has New Zealand’s most remotely populated areas.

This continued until 2008 when a funding shortfall meant the loss of the office administrator role.

The co-ordinator left in March 2009 and a new co-ordinator was appointed.

Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury is funded by a variety of funders, including COGS, Lotteries and Community Trust Mid and South Canterbury.

Volunteers make our world better Each year New Zealand celebrates National Volunteer Week to recognise and celebrate the vital contribution of New Zealand’s approximately 1.2 million volunteers in areas as diverse as social development, the economy and the environment.

We celebrate volunteers and the invaluable contribution they make to our communities.

Live, laugh, share – volunteer is the theme this year, which

helps capture the heart-felt appreciation we feel when people come together to build stronger, more vibrant communities through volunteer service.

National Volunteer Week (NVW) 2017 will be held from June 18 to 24. Volunteering is good for you, your community and for the social development of the country because it helps build the “social fabric” that keeps us connected and engaged in our world. We all

have skills that can help others.

This year’s theme is Live, laugh, share - volunteer or Kia ringa hora: Me mahi tuao. This positive message is about celebrating what volunteers bring to their communities.

It is important to recognise volunteering and the place it has in keeping our communities strong and healthy. The benefits of being a volunteer are welldocumented. There’s better health

and the ‘feel good’ endorphins that volunteering releases; around how volunteering can help with job prospects; and other health benefits such as extending longevity and reducing depression in many people.

As poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson observed: “It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely help another without helping himself.”

National Volunteer Week is a great opportunity to start volunteering or, if you already volunteer, it’s a great time to invite a friend to join you.

The positive message for the Week celebrates the joy that volunteers bring to their communities. It also reminds us that volunteers reap the reward of a happier, more engaged life because they feel connected to their community.

The lifeblood of the community US President Barack Obama said, “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.

Our main way of linking volunteers and organisations wanting volunteers is through a data-base. Organisation list their volunteer roles on the database and volunteers who sign up to our organisation can then find possible opportunities for volunteering and by clicking on the role a message is sent to the organisation with the contact details for potential volunteers.

Given the growing number of volunteers and organisations wanting volunteers, the data-base is a bit like people searching for paid employment.

We are always keen to hear from organisations looking for volunteers, whether it be for one person or several people, whether the role be a one-off, short or long term.

We all want the communities in which we live, work and socialise in to be places that make others feel welcome, give people the opportunity to use their skills and provide ways to meet new people.

Volunteering is a great way to do this.

Most people who volunteer do not to get rewards, payment or, in fact, anything. They do it simply because they enjoy it and want to make a difference by helping others and their community.

Volunteering is great as it helps you meet new people, make new friends, increase your employment prospects, gain new skills, connect with your community and contributes to the vibrancy of the district.

There are many groups looking for volunteers across a variety of areas. These include sport, history, culture, social services, education, children and youth, older persons and animals.

We assist with volunteer recognition programmes, advocacy, updates on the world of volunteering, promotion of volunteering and peer support for managers of volunteers.

We offer a variety of training events throughout the year. Many of these training courses are offered at a discounted rate for members of Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury. They cover a variety of topics such as culture awareness, funding possibilities, health and safety to name just a few.

Volunteer work is satisfying work Alison Donald says she had the ideal job when she was in the paid workforce and today, while she’s not being paid, she has several jobs that also tick all the job-satisfaction boxes.

She’s one of the large band of volunteers who keep life in the Ashburton District ticking over and she couldn’t be happier with her unpaid status.

A typical Thursday in Alison’s diary would see her collecting three clients and delivering them to Park Street Daycare. That completed she heads to Radius Millstream as a visitor before turning her hand to delivering meals on wheels. Then it’s back to help out at Radius Millstream for the care facility’s first birthday before returning to day-care to take three clients home.

“I suppose I’m almost a fulltime volunteer and when I fill in forms I always put my occupation as community volunteer,” she said.

Alison has been volunteering for about four years and said she gains a huge amount of pleasure out of knowing she’s tackling jobs that help make other people’s lives a little brighter.

“I knew when I retired I wanted to do something. The rewards are very different to being in fulltime work, but I must keep busy.

Alison Donald (centre) with Park Street Daycare clients Elwyn Peck (left), and Frances Pagey, doing what she loves, working as a community volunteer.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 150617-SN-0 When I get home, close the door and draw the curtains, that’s my time,” she said.

Her introduction to volunteering came through a friend whose daughter was a district nurse.

She volunteered to become one of the companions who travel with district nurses at night to provide support and a safe escort.

“I go to the hospital at 4.30 and

go out with a nurse. I don’t do a lot, really, I just stand around and hold a bag if a nurse is changing a dressing,” she said.

When she spotted an advertisement calling for drivers

for the St John health shuttle, Alison was quick to volunteer.

Now she’s one of 24 volunteers who work in two-person teams that travel with patients to medical appointments in Christchurch.

The volunteers provide support, companionship and are often a listening ear for people who are concerned about health issues.

She’s a regular on the Park Street Daycare circuit, providing transport for three people to the facility each week and she’s coordinator of the St John Caring Caller programme. This matches a caller and a person who needs social contact. They only know one another by Christian name and never meet, but strong bonds are formed with some parings having long conversations several times a week.

Alison is also a daily visitor to an elderly blind woman who is in care.

Volunteering, she said, becomes addictive.

“So many people do so much; the community just couldn’t operate unless there were people volunteering. There’s work out there for everybody when they retire and it’s so nice to be doing something I get so much satisfaction from.”

MATTHEW BEER - BRICK LAYER, VOLUNTEER RURAL FIRE OFFICER “It’s just me and the boss at work.

If I get called out, that’s half the workforce gone. Can I just say what a top bloke my boss is?”

Every year, over 11,000 brave Kiwis like Matthew give their time to the fire services. It’s National Volunteer Week. If you know a fire volunteer, this is your chance to say cheers. #cheerstothevolunteers

Southern will face off against Methven in one of the opening matches in this year’s Watters Cup campaign.

Watters Cup kicks off

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s senior rugby sides are set to do battle in the Watters Cup once again, and coaches are expecting the formbook to be thrown out of the window.

Hampstead, Celtic, Rakaia, Methven and Southern will all do battle in a round robin contest, before the top two teams battle it out for the trophy.

In last year’s final, Rakaia and Southern played out a thrilling game of rugby at the Ashburton Showgrounds, drawing 26-26, meaning the cup was shared.

Heading in to this year’s campaign, Southern co-coach Michael Ellis is expecting four tough games of “typical country rugby”.

“We have just come out of the combined competition but that doesn’t mean much, it is a clean slate and the form book has been thrown out of the window,” he said.

“As joint holders you could say anything less than making the final would be a disappointment.”

After a mixed combined competition, Ellis is hoping the cup will provide an opportunity for his side to turn their season around.

“It is entirely up to them, if we get stuck in with what we are good at, we can do well,” he said.

In their first match, Southern will take on Methven, a match Methven coach Andy Pearce experts to be a tough encounter.

“We know what they will bring

to the match and we know what we have been needing to work on as well,” he said.

Pearce said he will be taking each match game by game, having recently overhauled the squad with a group of young players.

“It is about getting these young boys experienced in senior rugby, these big local derbys change the game,” he said.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Hampstead co-coach Regan Broker’s main priority is filling his bench.

“Last week we only had 16 players turn up for the game. We are expecting 22 tomorrow but five of those will be arriving late and will fill up the bench,” he said.

Facing off against Celtic at the

Ashburton Showgrounds, Broker is expecting a struggle.

“The boys realise they are up against it, so we are just hoping to see if we can go out and upset someone,” he said.

“Nobody would be too amazed if we got thrashed, but we are just hoping we can make a few people stand up and open their eyes.”

With a goal of winning one match during the competition, Broker is hoping that his side will be able to put strong patches of play together in to one complete performance.

On the opposite side of the dugout will be Celtic co-coach Shane Enright, who is another coach expecting tough local derbies.

After an injury-disrupted sea-

son where they have had to call on many members of the club’s colts’ side, Enright is hoping that his team will be in contention come the end of the tournament.

“We are gonna go out there and try our best,” he said.

Rakaia will miss out the first round with a bye, but co-coach Wayne Foxcroft will be expecting his side to be on their toes when they face off against Celtic next week.

Coming off a close loss in the combined competition, Foxcroft said it will be good to get out there after a “disappointing” loss.

Matches kick off at 2.45pm, with Southern taking on Methven at the Methven Domain and Hampstead playing Celtic at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

Weekend Sports Box

A look ahead to the sporting weekend, with a glance back over the shoulder at the week that was.

Out and about …

Watters Cup action kicks off this weekend, so why not head down to the Ashburton Showgrounds at 2.45pm on Saturday to catch the action between Hampstead and Celtic. Both sides are coming off a mixed Combined Division One campaign, and should be looking forward to some local competition.

On the couch ...

Our pole vault star Eliza McCartney bows out early after three failed attempts at 4.55m

■ TRACK AND FIELD

McCartney fails to fire in Oslo New Zealand pole vaulter Eliza McCartney made an unexpectedly early exit from the Oslo Diamond League meeting yesterday.

The Rio Olympic bronze medallist had gone in among the favourites in the field of eight athletes, but after having entered the event with the bar at 4.55m, the North Shore athlete missed with all three attempts to bow out of the competition.

McCartney, who has a personal best height of 4.82m, had finished third with a jump of 4.75m at the Rome leg of the DL a week ago.

With neither Olympic champion Ekaterina Stefanidi of Greece nor Rio silver medallist, American Sandi Morris competing, it had appeared the main battle would be fought between 20-year-old McCartney and 2015 world champion Yarisley Silva of Cuba.

Silva also missed her first attempt at 4.55m but nailed her second leap to stay in the competition.

Four athletes cleared at 4.55, including German Liza Ryzih, Sweden’s Angelica Bengtsson and Canadian Alysha Newman, plus Silva.

Ryzih and Silva then cleared 4.65m to set

We are now down to the important bit of the America’s Cup, and through the “generosity” of the television gods, delayed coverage of racing will be available on Prime, one-and-a-half hours after the actual racing begins.

Some might even say 6.30am is an even better time to watch the racing.

So grab your Marmite on toast and wish Peter Burling the best of luck in the first race, live on Sky Sports 1 at 5am on Sunday, or delayed coverage on Prime at 6.30am.

the pace in the event.

Silva went on to win the event, with a best of 4.81m after having three misses at 4.92m.

Russian Anzhelika Sidorova, competing under a neutral flag, took second with 4.75m and German Liza Ryzih was third.

“The wind was pretty tricky out there.

Everyone was struggling a little bit,” McCartney’s coach Jeremy McColl said from Oslo.

“It was one of those days. In pole vault anything can happen.”

McColl said McCartney, using her shorter 10-pace runup, had warmed up well, they had done a few training sessions since the Rome event and all is in good shape, despite today’s disappointing mark, which he puts down to a demanding wind and “the luck of the draw really”.

“It was really swirling, not coming from any (one) direction whatsoever, so it was throwing all the marks around a little.

“It was very hard to judge what the wind was doing but that’s what it does in stadiums like this.

“You can be halfway down the runway and all of a sudden it changes and your marks are wrong.”

While Kevin Durant and his Golden State Warriors team-mates bask in the glory of winning a second NBA Championship in three years, they could be wise to take a few money-management lessons.

It has been reported in the past that 60 per cent of basketballers will have run out of money within five years of retiring from the NBA.

The punt ...

While our resident trotting mastermind relaxes on holiday, let’s take a look towards the footballing field and the “Tournament of Champions”. Our very own All Whites will play in the opening of the

Confederations Cup against hosts Russia, and we are expecting a bit of a bore-fest.

Feel free to back the draw or under 2.5 goals.

The gambler ...

While we are sticking pretty safe with our punts this week, one keen golf-gambler picked this absolute beaut out of the rough.

A 2-Leg Golf Multi saw one punter cash in big time after two outsiders held the lead of their respective tournaments after 18 holes. The Memorial Tournament – Leader After 1st Round: David Lingmerth @ $81 Nordea Masters – Leader after 1st Round: Renato Paratore @ $126 $2 Multi wins $5103.

Quick quiz …

With the Watters Cup starting up this weekend, let’s test your memory of last year’s edition. Rakaia and Southern had to share the honours after a draw, but what was the final score?

Quote of the week …

“He’s been kicking goals on and off the field.” It is a cheeky wee quote from All Blacks lock Liam Squires this week. We will just focus on his heroic goal kicking to secure the Highlanders a victory against the British and Irish Lions on Tuesday night, and not any off-field activities.

Pic of the week …

A local pic for this week, not much humour, no laughs, just a few broken blokes after a brilliant game of rugby. Sadly someone had to lose, and in this case it was Rakaia in the Senior Division One final against Southbridge.

■ NETBALL

Two-horse race likely

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After Thursday night’s action on the courts, it is increasingly looking like a two-horse race in Mid Canterbury’s premier netball competition.

After downing bottom of the table Southern 29-24, Ash Coll have held on to first place in the competition.

However, the girls in green from Celtic are hot on their heels after downing defending champions Methven 27-23.

Waiting to pounce on any slip-ups from either side are United A, who, despite a 23-26 loss against Hampstead, are sitting four points behind Celtic.

The win also pushed Hampstead in to potential contention for the future, only one point behind United, and five behind Celtic.

In the lower grade, there is no room to breathe at the top, with three teams all tied on 12 points.

Previously unbeaten, Hampstead B were somewhat embarrassed by Rakaia, who romped to a 15goal victory.

Celtic B proved to be a class above Ashburton College’s B side, running out 36-27 victors.

In the battle at the bottom of the table, both Southern B and Celtic C were battling to pick up their first wins of the round, however, a whitewash was what ensued, with Celtic C running out 44-17 winners.

Methven wing attack Sophie Lilly looks for a team-mate as Celtic centre Rachael Summerfield watches on in Celtic’s 27-23 victory on Thursday night.

Hudson issues warning Russia should be intimidated about their match against New Zealand, rather than vice-versa, according to All Whites’ coach Anthony Hudson.

The two sides meet in the opening game of the Fifa Confederations Cup on Saturday in St Petersburg (Sunday 3am NZT).

The match is expected to be played in front of almost 70,000 people at the new Krestovsky Stadium and the All Whites will be severe outsiders.

But Hudson sees things differently.

“I’d much rather be in our position than Russia’s,” Hudson said.

“We should have no fear going into these games. That’s how it is.”

Despite the absence of key defender Winston Reid, an underwhelming buildup and the expected hostile atmosphere, Hudson feels the All Whites have everything to play for.

“We are looking forward to it, we are not panicking, we are not worried,” said Hudson. “If you look at Russia, I actually believe that the prospect for them is even more intimidating. They can’t possibly lose to a team like New Zealand.”

Hudson isn’t underestimating Russia – far from it – but instead pointing out the level of expectation on the Sbornaya. As hosts, they are expected to progress into the semi-finals, but any kind

of slip up against New Zealand could be fatal to their chances, with Portugal and Mexico still to play.

“They are a dangerous animal,” said Hudson. “They’ve had a difficult time with the media and the fans recently and a bit of instability so you don’t know what kind of team will show up.

But we have to believe we are going to face the best version of their team and we’ll be ready for that.”

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Oracle ramp up mind games Oracle Team USA have ramped up the psychological warfare ahead of this weekend’s opening races in America’s Cup match.

After a fairly quiet build-up to their grudge match with Emirates Team New Zealand, which pits the victors and the vanquished from San Francisco against one another once more, Oracle stepped up the mind games in Bermuda yesterday.

Two shiny red bows were seen being carried across the courtyard from Oracle’s base to Team Japan’s neighbouring boat shed, suggesting the Cup defenders may be working on a second boat.

Under the Cup rules, Oracle are allowed to build two boats, but up until this point there has been no sign of a second America’s Cup Class catamaran.

They have instead effectively been running a two-boat testing programme through their close working relationship with Dean Barker’s Japanese syndicate. Developments suggest Oracle may cannibalise the Team Japan boat, by taking its hulls and fitting it with new bows to meet the (very loose) constructed in country of origin rule.

The mind games have ramped up ahead of the opening races this weekend.

It’s unclear if this will serve as a back-up boat if USA-17 sustains damage during the Cup match, or if it is a move-on from their first boat.

Equally, it could be Oracle throwing out a red herring to mess with the Kiwi camp on the eve of

the big showdown.

Regardless of whether they are genuinely building a second boat to race in the Cup match, the decision to transport the hulls between bases in plain sight of the Team NZ compound was a calculated one designed to rattle the challenger.

There could be more antics to come in the traditional pre-America’s Cup press conference when Oracle skipper and renowned Kiwi-baiter Jimmy Spithill takes to the podium.

The two-time America’s Cupwinning skipper set the tone in

his appearances early on in the regatta, firing a few shots across the bows of Team NZ management and, later listing the litany of errors the Kiwi crew made during their two losses to Oracle in round robin.

Team NZ cyclor Andy Maloney said the crew aren’t too bothered by what Spithill has to say for the cameras.

“They’re always going to try and play mind games with us, they can say what they want – we just think it’s pretty funny to be honest, it doesn’t really get to us young guys on the boat,” said Maloney, one of the four core members on board the New Zealand boat.

“We think it’s a bit of a laugh, he’s a bit of a joker and he puts on a tough act, but when you meet him outside of competition, that’s not actually really who he is – it’s just an act he puts on for the cameras.

So we don’t take it to heart, we just think it’s pretty funny.”

Some members of two crews have been involved in some lighthearted social media banter during the week, after Spithill posted a cartoon depicting an American bald eagle swooping in and seizing upon a helpless Kiwi.

There’s still plenty to play for

At the mid-point in the season for many of Mid Canterbury’s football teams, plenty of title fights and relegation battles are being played out across the divisions.

In the women’s grade, Mid Canterbury will be hoping to keep their stranglehold on division two, welcoming Hornby United Women on Sunday.

Today, in the men’s division four, Methven FC Seniors will be hoping to keep league-leaders Western Rhinos in check and close the gap to only one point.

In division two, the MCUFC seniors will be hoping to move out of the messy

bottom half of the table as they take on second-placed Halswell United Goal Exchange.

After a shake-up in the masters division, the MCUFC Masters now find themselves in division three, facing up against the Papanui Redwood Pirates.

In the youth divisions, MCUFC will be aiming to extend their lead in the 19th grade division two against second placed Burwood.

In the 17th grade division three, MCUFC will play against second-placed Christ’s College, while in the 15th grade division one, MCUFC will play third-placed Cashtech.

It’s official. Cronulla skipper Paul Gallen will play on in the NRL in 2018.

After the 35-year-old warhorse shelved retirement plans last month, coach Shane Flanagan confirmed yesterday he will be offered a new deal It means Gallen is set go around for an 18th year, which will see him equal fellow Sharks great Andrew Ettingshausen for most seasons in the top grade, according to Fox Sports Stats.

Gallen, who stepped down from Australian and NSW representative duties at the end of last season, was expected to hang up his boots at the end of the 2017 NRL campaign.

But after starting the year like a man 10 years his junior and not being burdened by a heavy State of Origin workload, Gallen is poised to soon lock in a one-year

contract extension.

“He’ll definitely play again next year,” Flanagan said.

“We’re well and truly down the track of talking to his management and that’ll be resolved in the next couple of weeks.

“We said to Gal that when the time was right and he felt it was right and he was playing well and he wanted to play again, then we’d do it.

“We’re not looking at his birth certificate. The way he plays and trains is the most important thing for us.”

Just as well the Sharks aren’t judging their talisman by his date of birth – he’ll be 37 by the time the 2018 season comes to an end.

This year Gallen has averaged 172 metres per game, the second most for a forward in the competition.

European watch on Te Awamutu hopeful Ben Ropiha will be keeping an eye on events at Te Awamutu on Sunday from afar.

The Cambridge trainer is currently holidaying in the United Kingdom, but he will still be following his mare Jayla Monet’s performance in the Waipa Hire 1400 with keen interest.

“It’s been a great break and I really enjoyed going to Epsom for the Oaks – it was a great

spectacle and I had a good day on the punt as well,” Ropiha said.

To be ridden by Troy Harris, Jayla Monet will be resuming after a six-month break following a disappointing spring and summer campaign.

“It was probably our own fault and her first-up run over a mile in the Karaka Classic on a really testing track at Pukekohe prob-

ably took more out of her than we thought,” Ropiha said.

“We were trying to get her in the Auckland Cup, but that didn’t work out so she had a break and she’s good now.”

While 1400 metres isn’t Jayla Monet’s pet trip, Ropiha still expects the daughter of Any Suggestion to give a decent freshup account of herself.

“The distance on Sunday will

be too short for her, but we’ll be happy to see her hitting the line well,” he said.

Jayla Money showed her potential last winter when she won consecutive races over ground at Otaki, Hawera and Ellerslie.

“She can get herself wound up and be a bit of a handful, but she is a talented staying mare,” Ropiha said.

OUR VIEW

When the prank’s just not funny Michelle Nelson

W

hy do some people think radio pranksters are funny?

The latest episode with The Edge’s Dom Harvey and Jay-Jay Harvey went too far – again.

This time Simon Barnett was the victim of their immature humour. In short Barnett was tricked into believing he had scored an interview with Tom Cruise.

The Tom Cruise impersonator strung Barnett along for 15 minutes before Dom and Jay-Jay gave the game away.

Apparently, they were two of just a handful of people who thought the joke funny.

To his credit Barnett kept his composure, but his fellow hosts didn’t, Samantha Baxter burst into tears while Gary McCormack took a swipe at those responsible.

Since when did Kiwis sink to such depths?

This kind of humour is something most of us would expect to encounter across the ditch.

And look how that turned out for two Australian radio jocks in 2012.

No one will forget the consequences of DJs Melanie Greig and Mike Christian’s prank call to a hospital caring for the Duchess of Cambridge.

The nurse who took the call believing she was speaking to the Queen hung herself three days later, leaving a suicide note saying the international humiliation she suffered was too great to live with.

While the station’s lawyers had sanctioned the call, it didn’t end well for Greig and Christian.

They were vilified across the world, including in the nurse’s home country of India, and sacked. But worse still they have to live with the fact they contributed to a woman’s death, leaving two children motherless.

Public humiliation is not funny – especially when it amounts to deception.

It is also dangerous.

Of course the culprits could not have known the nurse suffered from depression, but that’s precisely the point – when you cold-call strangers to set them up for your own amusement, you don’t know.

Stunts like this border on bullying.

Is it ever okay to get your kicks by deliberately embarrassing other people?

Apparently Jay-Jay had a change of heart after the fact, but it was too late.

The thing is you can’t take back what thousands of people heard.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

A

re you happy with the state of the rental market in Ashburton?

Are the houses up to standard?

Do you think we’re paying too much, or is it fairly reasonable in today’s market?

In Christchurch, an oversupply of properties is driving rental prices down, however Ashburton still seems to be in the affordable bracket.

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Jump onto our Facebook page to join the discussion and visit www.guardianonline.co.nz to vote in this week’s poll.

ROLLING POLL This week’s question Q: Should fidget spinners be banned in the classroom?

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Joy - Whatever new gadgets kids get these days there is always people who will find fault. Get over it and try and remember what you played with as a child. I have had a go with my granddaughters’ ones and quite enjoyed it. Made a fun time seeing who could keep it spinning the longest. Stop moaning about every little thing.

There are worse things out there than fidget spinners.

Julie - Why ban them locally? I understand school etc, but why does everyone else get a say in what toys my children can have because they dislike them or find them annoying. I would rather this than on technology. We had yoyos, chatter rings (now they were annoying) etc. This is just the next level.

Catherine - My son has two… they don’t really bother me. I had chatter rings and knuckles bones and all those crazes as a kid, it won’t last long. Kids are kids it’s something small that entertains them for a short time /??

James - Of course family time is good, but I wouldn’t begrudge my child a harmless toy.... marbles, knucklebones and chatter rings were the crazes when I was a kid, and they certainly didn’t take away from quality time spent with the family.

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Yes 78.57%

Harry - We had two arrive home, were removed from children immediately and returned to sender. Absolute waste of time.

Be better off having an actual conversation with family members, if such a thing still actually exists??

No 21.43%

Opinion Saturday, June 17, 2017

www.guardianonline.co.nz

They’re just another fad I

know how to make millions from kids, do you want to as well?

I bet you wish you invented fidget spinners.

Let’s face it, like it loathe it or simply don’t care, these little must-haves are creating fortunes for the inventors and copy-cats who are selling them quicker than Ed Sheeran tickets.

The most common line I hear from adults is they “don’t get it.”

And that is exactly why these little engineering marvels are so popular, because adults can’t see the point.

If you want to know how to make a fortune, then follow these simple rules from yours truly and when you have made your first million, make sure you send a steak and cheese pie my way.

1. The toy has to be pointless.

Remember chatter rings, a hoop with more nuts than Lord Varys from Game of Thrones. (Google him and find out his character defect). This simply had no purpose. If you had to escape a tsunami, the last thing you would take is your chatter ring. The only possible use could be as a necklace for a cave troll or one of Shrek’s kids.

2. The toy must have no adult appeal.

That’s right, the more tasteless and unappealing to an adult, the better. If you want a child to like something, just dislike it yourself. Children love the fact that adults don’t like the latest fad, it creates a sense of rebelliousness to have something that goes against what an adult thinks.

3. The toy must be simple to use.

Look at the fidget spinner, it takes less time to learn than it does to know your three times table.

4. The toy should be able to be concealed in a school uniform pocket.

Oh yes, this is what starts to make these spinners a must-have. You can take it to school. Yip your little Sally is hopeless at bringing home the newsletter or taking in her money for a performer, but she can keep track of that flamin’ annoying spinner!

Being able to take it to school brings street cred to the owner.

There will be some little cherubs who won’t be allowed and they will hassle their parents incessantly to take theirs to school.

5. The toy must annoy teachers.

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

That’s right. This is almost the nirvana of toy desirability. Anything that upsets Mrs Rant’n’Rave in Room 15 is a must-have. There is no greater delight for an eightyear-old boy to have than a possession that drives his teacher bonkers.

You see, to have something confiscated at home is one thing, having it removed at school, in front of your mates, is legendary. Especially if, as soon as it is gone, you produce another. That is worship material in the classroom.

6. The toy gets banned in school.

Okay, you want to really make some money, then reach this level of fame.

By banning something the school has shouted from the rooftops that this is the most must-have toy of the time.

Banishment brings fame and fortune to the maker of such toys. Think trolls, pogs, tamagotchi, beyblades, chatter rings, pokemon cards, pokeballs, and polly pockets.

7. The toy is something you can swap or trade.

And then finally, any toy that either has components that can be swapped or becomes a form of currency will become hot property.

By making it in a range of colours and designs that are slightly different to the original, children are spurred on to acquire more of them. It builds a notion of how cool you are as a child, by how many you have.

Now my little unwashed Asburtonians (it is a Saturday and bath day is Sunday remember), you may think as adults you never took part in any of this silly stuff, but you are wrong.

Do you remember Nomad shoes? This is going back to the mid to late 70s and early 80s.

Well each pair of shoes had a tag with a camel embossed on it. The cool kids used to collect them and thread them through their laces to demonstrate how many pairs of Nomads they had.

I know this because at Monrad Intermediate, when I was in Form 2, a very well built boy called Joseph Hotorini (he weighed more than his age in stone), leant on me in Art and asked if I wanted my tag.

Sure, I squeaked. I would happily give him my tag if he stopped impressing his 13 stone (82.5kg) upon me.

Somalian restaurant attacked Islamic extremists attacked a popular Somalia restaurant in an overnight siege and killed 31 people – many at point-blank range – before they were slain by security forces, police said.

Survivors described harrowing scenes of hiding under tables and behind curtains as the five gunmen hunted for victims in the darkened Pizza House restaurant. Nearly 40 people were wounded.

Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, which began with a car bomb exploding at the gate to the restaurant and ended when troops secured the site after dawn, said senior police Capt. Mohamed Hussein.

“I never thought I would have the chance to see the sun again. They were killing people on sight,” university student Saida Hussein told The Associated Press. She said she survived by hiding behind a large table.

Soldiers in gun-mounted vehicles surrounded the building, and troops later entered the ground floor as al-Shabab snipers defended their positions upstairs.

The battle to end the siege was hampered by darkness, Hussein said.

The bodies of five girls believed to have been killed by the extremists were found in the restaurant, police said. The body of a Syrian man who worked as a chef lay near a blood-spattered and bulletmarked wall.

The car bomb that began the attack blew the roofs off the restaurant and other nearby buildings. Many of the first victims were young men who had been

Destroyed vehicles lie in the street at the scene of a car bomb blast and gun battle targeting a restaurant in Mogadishu, Somalia.

PHOTO AP noted that the attack came during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The United States mission to Somalia said many of the victims had been breaking their daily Ramadan fast when the attack began.

Somalia-based al-Shabab often targets high-profile areas of Mogadishu, including hotels, military checkpoints and areas near the presidential palace.

The extremists, appearing to pose as security forces, then rushed inside the restaurant.

The gunmen “were dressed in military uniforms. They forced those fleeing the site to go inside,” witness Nur Yasin told the AP. A neighbouring restaurant, Posh Treats, which is frequented by the city’s elite, was damaged in the blast, security officials said.

Rebel Wilson on Thursday won a defamation suit against a magazine publisher that the Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids star accused of costing her Hollywood roles because of articles that claimed she lied about her age, the origins of her first name and her upbringing in Sydney. The Victoria state Supreme Court jury of six women deliberated for two days before delivering its verdict against Bauer Media, publisher of Australian magazines Woman’s Day, Australian Women’s Weekly, NW and OK. Justice John Dixon will decide later how much money to award the 37-year-old actress. Outside court, Wilson said she felt the “stain” had been removed from her reputation. “The reason I’m here is not for damages – it’s to clear my name,” Wilson said. “I was hoping the jury would do the right thing and send a message to these tabloids.”

Turnbull’s Trump speech goes global Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s attempt to score some laughs by poking fun at US President Donald Trump is getting widespread coverage in the American media.

Trump, not shy in firing off a tweet to vent his feelings, has not commented publicly.

The New York Times, USA Today, Time, CNN, CBS, Bloomberg, Politico and almost every other major American news organisation is running with the story.

Some are having a little fun with it.

“Strewth, this is awkward,” the Hollywood Reporter began its story.

The hot and cold relationship between the prime minister and president is well known across America after the Washington Post was the first to report their fiery January 28 phone call.

In Turnbull’s follow-up meeting with Trump in New York on

■ UNITED SATES

at Trump’s expense the US media is questioning whether the relationship could sour again.

Turnbull presumed his friendly mocking of Trump would not

be made public, with the “off the record” comments made before journalists at Wednesday’s Parliament House Mid Winter Ball in Canberra.

The Nine Network posted the audio online.

“The Donald and I, we are winning and winning in the polls,” Turnbull said.

Turnbull also poked fun at his New York meeting, describing it as “the most beautiful puttingme-at-ease ever”.

The prime minister also ventured into the political land mine territory of Trump and his relationship with Russia.

“I have this Russian guy,” Turnbull said.

“Believe me it’s true, it is true.”

Turnbull laughed off the leaking of the audio, although it goes against the playbook used by world leaders and White House staff who shower the president with praise in public comments.

An angry crowd confronted London mayor Sadiq Khan as he visited the high-rise.

A tenant group had complained for years about the risk of a fire in the North Kensington building, which housed up to 600 people.

Firefighters worked with engineers to shore up unsafe areas so crews could search for victims.

Specially trained dogs were being brought in to aid the search.

Authorities have refused to speculate on the cause of the blaze but the focus has turned to renovations completed in 2016.

The government has ordered checks at towers going through similar renovations and some London authorities said they would do extra fire-safety assessments at public housing highrises.

More than STG1 million has been raised to help victims of the fire.

In brief Blast at kindergarten A city government says seven people were killed and 59 injured in an explosion at the front gate of a kindergarten in eastern China as relatives were picking up their children at the end of the school day. The Xuzhou city government in Jiangsu province said the blast was under investigation. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the explosion was deliberately set or the result of an accident. Videos purportedly from the scene showed children and adults lying on the ground, some bleeding.

Clothing, shoes and other items were strewn on the ground beside pools of blood. Kindergartens in China have been targeted before in apparent revenge attacks.

Yoko gets co-credit John Lennon’s son has described the proudest day of his life as his mother, Yoko Ono, was officially named co-writer of the 1971 hit Imagine. His late father’s famous single was honoured with the National Music Publishers Association centennial song award. As he helped his wheelchair-bound mother, 84, on to the stage to accept the prize, NMPA chief executive David Israelite declared the song a Lennon-Ono creation for the first time. Lennon, 41, took to Facebook to describe how his mother broke down in tears as an old interview with his ex-Beatle father was played, crediting her inspiration. Speaking more than 45 years after the song’s first release, he added that “patience is a virtue”.

The combination is the latest hybrid in sweet treats with other confectionery makers also jumping on the trend, launching products such as L&P chocolate and biscuits, Whittaker’s K Bar and Jelly Tip range and Cadbury’s kiwi flavour creations.

The manufacturing future of both Pineapple Lumps and Jaffas has been in question after Cadbury owner Mondelez announced it was closing the Dunedin Cadbury factory next year and moving remaining production of its products to Australia.

Mondelez said it was hoping to find a local manufacturer to take on the production of some of its products.

A crowdfunding plan launched

by Dunedin city councillor Jim O’Malley and a group of volunteers has received more than $5.5 million in pledges out of a total $20 million to purchase the factory and keep manufacturing on the site.

Mondelez earlier said it had received a number of expressions of interest and would be working through them.

A2 milk sales guidance raised A2 Milk Co lifted annual sales guidance for the second time in as many months as it beefed up production to meet sweltering Chinese demand for infant formula.

The Auckland-based, Sydneyheadquartered milk marketer said revenue is expected to be $545 million in the 12 months ending June 30, a $20 million increase from its April update which was itself an upgrade. A2 reported annual revenue of $352.8 million in 2016.

In the April update, a2 said it was working with Synlait Milk to increase supply for the rest of the financial year to meet rising demand for its Platinum infant formula product.

The milk marketer bought an 8.2 percent stake in Synlait earlier this year to deepen its tied with the milk processor, expanding a supply agreement which has been in place for five years.

“Based on a review of its unaudited financial results to 31 May, 2017 and production deliveries of

a2 Platinum infant formula being achieved in June consistent with the revised production schedule, the company has determined it appropriate to further revise its full year outlook upwards,” managing director Geoffrey Babidge said in a statement.

In February, the company

scaled back its expected growth for infant formula sales as Chinese regulators looked to tighten regulations for sales through online grey market channels.

While that weighed on rivals such as ASX-listed Bellamy’s, a2 managed to navigate the changes with little impact on sales so far.

The company has boosted marketing, primarily in China where demand for its product has been strong, and had previously predicted its marketing costs in the six months ending June 30 would be up to $15 million higher than the $16 million it spent in the first half of the financial year.

A2 yesterday said it changed the timing of that increase and marketing will be about $10 million higher, implying the company will spend about $26 million in the half.

A2 shares last traded at $3.56 and have jumped 67 per cent so far this year, outpacing the 9.2 per cent increase on the S&P/NZX 50 index over the same period.

That unit outperformed expectations last year after a soft 2015 result when the downturn in dairy and uncertain farmgate payout caused farmers to put off buying livestock.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ve a multifaceted skill set. When you don’t get to use some of these skills for a long time, you start to feel diminished. To be able to exercise your competence will be a major lift to your spirit.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When beliefs fuse into stubbornness, it’s time to re-examine.

Inflexible thoughts lead to intolerance and restriction. Go the opposite way and you’ll invite freshness, creativity and vitality.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s true things can get pretty competitive in your professional arena. Perhaps it seems counterintuitive, but a compassionate, caring and affectionate approach will enhance your professional potential.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Living by your values makes you a success. It can be done at any income level, as it’s not a matter of high finance but of high return on the potential of your soul.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The winner of the game isn’t always one who wins the trophy; often it’s the one who wins hearts. To be better is to be kinder. In the long run, kindness and love will be the score that matters.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your contribution is exciting.

And though you may not like everything they have to say about you today, rest assured there’s plenty of positive in it. Anyway, it’s better to be talked about than not.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The sunshine is in you. Search for it, call on it, and draw it up. This will be easier when you’re around people who crave levity and laughter as much as you do today.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The bridge from one moment to the next is called courage. Don’t worry about where you’ll find it, as it’s activated by one foot stepping in front of the other. March on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Caring about the way your project looks and feels doesn’t make you superficial, it makes you human – a being to whom aesthetics typically matter a great deal and has mattered for thousands of years.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): How about you: Do you doubt what can’t be seen, or do you believe in the magic of invisible forces? Fortunately, the forces don’t depend on your belief to render aid, as evidenced by today’s unexplainable phenomenon.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Life is a swing, back and forth. The pendulum’s nature is to flee; the pendulum’s nature is to return. Pleasurable circumstances are temporary. So are uncomfortable ones. Hang on for the change.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Some pray to St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost objects. Others will meditate on the lost object, still others will trace their own steps. Whatever your method, you’ve a talent for recovery today.
