2 Warning for dog owners A Northland dog’s internal organs started to ‘cook’ after the canine was inadvertently shut in his owner’s car. Owner Rachael Chester is now warning other pet lovers that leaving your dog in a hot car is like putting someone in an oven. Her four-year-old SPCA rescue dog Dr Seuss nearly died this week when he was accidentally shut in her car for nearly two hours.

Replacement ferry loses power A replacement ferry brought in to provide cover for Interislander’s out-of-service Aratere is stuck at Wellington’s Aotea Quay after losing power – less than a week into service. The Stena Alegra, which began sailings across Cook Strait on Monday, had been ordered from Europe for the busy summer period after the Aratere lost a propeller on an interisland trip in November. However, a problem with power on the ferry, which has affected the control systems of one of its propellers, has forced it to be sidelined for much of yesterday.

■ PROTECTION ORDER DEBATE

Courts urged to get tougher on breaches By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

A gruesome murder involving two children has sparked debate in Mid Canterbury over the way courts deal with abusive offenders who breach protection orders. The murder-suicide involving Dunedin father Edward Livingstone and his two children this week has reignited calls from anti-family violence lobbyists for courts to use a heavier hand on protection order breaches which they say happen too often. Livingstone had previously breached protection orders twice in the past. However, an Ashburton lawyer, who specialises in family and criminal law, says district court judges take the breaches “very seriously”, reflected through sentences handed down to offenders. Women’s Refuge New Zealand chief executive Heather Henare said the Dunedin incident showed a definitive link between breaches of protection orders and domestic violence murders in New Zealand. Her calls have been backed by Mid-South Canterbury Women’s Refuge manager Dawn Rangi-Smith who told the Guardian last year many protected women continued to suffer domestic abuse at the hands of recidivist offenders. She backed proposed law changes that would enable police to electronically monitor high-risk domestic assault offenders. “It’s high time courts started taking protection order breaches seriously, in a lot of

cases the offenders get a slap on the wrist - it’s laughable really, if there is no consequence then what is there to stop them,” she said at the time. In New Zealand, final granted protection orders have increased 16 per cent during the past five years to 2963 in 2012/13, with convictions for breaches rising six per cent to 1907. Ashburton family and criminal lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist said Mid Canterbury had “quite a steady number” of protection order applications lodged, her firm seeing two or three a week. The district is home to a number of domestic violence incidents, including a case in 2007 when an Ashburton man was jailed on 22 charges of breaching protection orders by sending more than 50 text messages and death threats to his victim. In more minor cases, other protection order offenders had community work and fines imposed, while others, including a client of Ms Gilchrist’s on Thursday, were handed community detention sentences. She believed the courts did not take protection order breaches lightly. And “nine times out of ten” the orders were obeyed in the first place, she said. “We have to trust judges, they aren’t always going to know someone’s going to go on and kill their children ... I imagine if my client yesterday (Thursday) went on to breach again then he would be looking at home detention or prison even though there was no violence offered to the victim, it was texting only.” “I think the court does take it seriously.”

Influx sparks police water warning By erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Hot weather attracting summer sun seekers to waterways like Lake Hood has prompted a warning from police for people to take care. In 2013, 81 people drowned in New Zealand, and with beaches, rivers and lakes more inviting as the temperatures rise in summer, the Police national dive squad is asking As summer temperatures are making our beaches, rivers and lakes more inviting, the Police National Dive Squad urge everyone to be safety conscious before taking the plunge. “Our message to all water sports enthusiasts this summer is to think about safety before getting in the water. Be prepared and keep an eye on the weather and water conditions. If the conditions are un-

favourable, put your gear away and have a break,” dive squad senior sergeant Bruce Adams said. “Unfortunately 81 people lost their lives from drowning during 2013. We all need to take time to consider all activities around water this festive season, even if it is just ensuring we are actively watching and supervising those in the water.” Focusing on safety ensures a lifetime of fun in, on or under the water, Mr Adams said. Since Christmas, the Police National Dive Squad has recovered five bodies from New Zealand waters. A sixth operation was underway in Gisborne to recover a missing kayaker who was not wearing his lifejacket. Water Safety New Zealand CEO Matt Claridge said all New Zealanders needed to

WATER SAFETY TIPS ■ Always wear a lifejacket ■ Keep children within sight and reach around water ■ Monitor the weather and water ■ Know how to use your marine radio and how to call for help if you need it ■ Call for help at the first sign of trouble ■ Check for hidden objects before jumping or diving ■ Avoid alcohol.

make water safety a priority. “A huge amount of work is being done to drive attitudinal and behavioural change when it comes to water safety. We need everyone to always remember the basics and take the necessary precautions if we’re to reduce our drowning toll for good.”

■ DUNEDIN SHOOTING

In brief

Safety fatally compromised By anna LEask and kurT BayEr It should never have happened. Bradley and Ellen Livingstone should still be alive, their mother Katharine Webb should not be preparing to bury her children. But somehow numerous red flags were missed by authorities and the safety of the Dunedin family was fatally compromised. Their father Edward Livingstone, 51, had inflicted a reign of terror over Ms Webb since the couple split last year, forcing her to get a court order to keep him away from her and the children. Despite that court order, he called and emailed her. He wrote “your beautiful (sic)” on her Facebook page. He followed her in his car. The order evidently meant nothing to him, resulting in him appearing in court on two occasions facing criminal charges of breaching a protection order. The court heard Livingstone was having a “traumatic” time after the break up of his marriage, was having counselling and on medication. A judge at his sentencing after the second breach heard Ms Webb felt harassed and feared for the safety of her children. She even installed a panic button beside her bed she was that terrified of Livingstone.

The body of one of the two child victims is carried from the house in which they were killed by their father.

Friends say they contacted police to raise concerns over threats he had made about killing his family. And Livingstone’s employer said it was “obvious” he was having a hard time in his personal life. So how, when Livingstone’s behaviour was setting off so many warning bells, did no one see the signs that he was about to end his reign of terror with a fatal confrontation at his former home. The protection order was issued on May 5. In August Livingstone breached that by contacting Ms Webb. It is understood he emailed and called her. He admitted the charge and as it was his first offence he was granted police diversion. But his escape from the law did little to dampen his eagerness to contact his estranged family. On September 14, he rang

Ms Webb’s cellphone multiple times and then rang her landline and left a message. He was charged with breaching the protection order a second time, which he again admitted. “That you phoned her and left a message is in direct contravention of the terms of the protection order,” Judge Stephen Coyle told Livingstone at sentencing. Livingstone was granted a discharge without conviction after pleading guilty. Police opposed the discharge, but Judge Coyle deemed the offending to be minor and said a conviction could cost Livingstone his job which would outweigh the gravity of the offending. Livingstone volunteered to pay $500 to a stopping violence charity and walked out of court. The protection order remained in place and he ap-

peared to adhere to it - until Wednesday. It now emerges that Livingstone, while contrite and remorseful in court, had much more sinister and violent plans for his ex-wife. He told friends in August, three months after the protection order was granted, of his plan to murder his children and then take his own life after becoming “consumed with revenge” after his marriage break up. “He was consumed with revenge. The kids were Katharine’s life - they were the centre of her universe - and he knew that killing them was the worst thing he could do to her, and that’s why he did it.” On Wednesday, Livingstone followed through. He had his own “secret key” that Ms Webb did not know about. He let himself into the house through a side door. He was armed with a petrol can and a shotgun. Ms Webb went for help, screaming “he’s got a gun” as she ran to her neighbour and close friend Chris Foot’s home. As she ran she heard gunshots. Shots that killed her children as they slept. “Protection orders are supposed to protect. And in this case, it didn’t. That family has been so let down by police and the system. It’s not fair,” the source said. - APNZ

■ AUSTRALIAN HEATWAVE

Former locals sweating it out for a cool change By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton people living and holidaying in Australia are hoping to wake to a cooler day today, after days of struggling in extreme temperatures. Victorians faced their third consecutive day above 40°C yesterday, after suffering through another uncomfortable night where the mercury only fell as low as 27 degrees. Ashburton woman Kelley Young lives in Melbourne – where a high of 44 degrees was expected yesterday and tennis players at the Australian Open were experiencing melting shoe soles and drink bottles on court – and said the heat wave had been a struggle. “When you walk outside it just feels like you have stepped in front of a giant heater while the sun is beaming down on top of you. Miss Young said it was a struggle mentally and physically. “Unfortunately for a lot of

occupations there’s no state law that stipulates it being too hot to work. “Public transport access has been cut and the number of health issues and emergency call-outs has doubled in the past four days. “We are all looking forward

to the cool change coming through, which is meant to happen (last night),” she said. “I think this has been particularly hard because it’s been four days of it. “It just takes a toll on you and at times you just feel like you can’t escape from it.”

Gemma Clark is also looking forward to a cool change, after returning to the Melbourne heat following a couple of months in Ashburton. “You walk outside and it feels as if you are surrounded by fan heaters. “The air con helps for the first day or so but after a week like this our apartment – which is on the top level of a three storey block - doesn’t get much below 30 degrees even with the air con on constantly; and we are the lucky ones, some people don’t even have that.” Former Ashburton woman Tessa de Jonge lives in Adelaide and she said the first couple of hot days were manageable. “(Wednesday) seemed to be the worst (45 degrees), although it was exciting at the thought of being the hottest city in the world. “Now I can’t wait for the cool change to come as five days is a bit too much to handle.” On Wednesday night the temperature only dropped to 30.6 degrees.

Council not at Ellerslie The Ashburton District Council will not be exhibiting at the Ellerslie International Flower Show next month. Open Spaces manager David Askin said resources would be put toward the Ashburton Domain’s 150th anniversary celebrations later in the year. The Christchurch flower show runs from February 25 to March 2.

Cats disappearing The death of two cats and the disappearance of at least seven others has horrified residents of a Welcome Bay neighbourhood. Seven households have lost a total of nine pet cats in the past year. Two have been found dead with dog bite marks and another seven have vanished. - APNZ

■ RADICAL ITO SHAKEUP

Bosses fear training quality erosion BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury industry leaders fear streamlining New Zealand’s vocation training system could be detrimental to the quality of education delivered to trainees. An air of uncertainty is also circulating as many industries await new qualifications to be drawn up. New Zealand’s industry training organisations (ITOs) and 4500 separate qualifications have undergone a radical

shake up, in what Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce hopes will create a “simpler vocational training system that’s easy to navigate for employers, trainees and educators”. New Zealand’s ITOs, which set qualifications and oversee particular industries, have been cut from 39 to 14, while the 4610 available qualifications have been cut by 63 per cent to improve consistency. Federated Farmers skills and education spokesperson Jeanette Maxwell, who lives in Mid

Canterbury, said ITOs in agriculture, horticulture, sports turf, water and equine industries now come under the Primary ITO umbrella. Although they had some related aspects, she feared the specialist nature of each of the ITOs could be jeopardised by falling under one umbrella. “We don’t know what the fallout will be like because the qualifications are still to be released. Those qualifications in the system now will gradually be retired and new ones will be developed and put into the

framework, so they are in the development phase at the moment.” Bradfords director Mark Wilson worked closely with the Building and Construction ITO and highly regarded the work they did to keep apprentices on track. It recently announced it would join with two other organisations being the Joinery ITO and the DecorateNZ/ FloorNZ ITO. He too hoped it would not dilute the intensive work of the BCITO, but the organisation re-

assured its clients on its website that only minor changes would occur. Mr Joyce was most confident about the changes seeing trainees able to study the same qualification in different environments, including in-class and on-site. “Employers will be confident that learners who graduate from different training institutions have been trained in the same qualification. “This makes it much easier to understand the expected skills and competences.”

Quake claim fraudsters hunted By Cullen smiTh

Earthquake claim fraudsters are still being hunted down almost three years on from the city’s devastating quakes. Mairehau woman Poulomi Chaterjee, 35, yesterday admitted making false insurance claims totalling $48,620 and using photographs from the internet to support them. She pleaded guilty in the district court to four charges of dishonestly using documents relating to a number of claims for household items ranging from broken china to musical instruments. EQC paid out on the claims

and is now seeking reparations of more than $37,500. And EQC are vowing to bring more fraudsters to court. “Our experience is that the people of Canterbury have a low tolerance for fraud,” said EQC Canterbury home repair programme manager Reid Stiven. Mr Stiven said 130 claims had been referred to the police involving 23 people and there were many more “in the pipeline”. EQC had a confidential investigation line where members of the public can report suspicious activity - 0800 0027 28 - and an online form on the EQC web-

site. Mr Stiven said a specialist EQC team dedicated to detecting fraud had come across a wide range of fraudulent claims valued from $10,000 to $78,000. “Fraud ranges from false repair claims to damaged sofas that did not belong to the claimant, or damaged whiteware and electronic gear and furniture - later found in the claimant’s garage without any damage whatsoever. “We have had people try to submit false invoices from contractors, and we have tracked down the contractor to find they did not provide the invoice or something on the invoice is altered to support the customer’s

claim.” In one case a landlord who owned several properties claimed for reroofing. Further investigation found a photograph taken in 2010 showing that the new roof was in place before the earthquake event. Mr Stiven said fraud cases typically related to contents and dwelling claims but contents claims were reducing, given most have been settled. “We are also investigating other types of fraud, some of which are quite complex, and we expect to refer more files to the police for prosecution in the near future.” Mr Stiven said EQC had investigated hundreds of cases

“where there was something that did not add up”. “Not every claim that attracts attention involves deliberate dishonesty and very often there has been an honest mistake or a good reason why there is no need to take the matter further. “Our investigations may result in the claim being adjusted or declined and, in some instances, this could have a bearing on the customer’s ability to get insurance in the future.” Mr Stiven said EQC looked into “a couple of claims” from the July Cook Strait earthquakes where fraud was suspected, but concluded there was no need for further action. - APNZ

■ ANAPHYLACTIC PRICE SHOCKER

By Brendan manning A New Plymouth district councillor has taken down a video of an altercation involving roadside window washers after being threatened by a family member of one of the men involved. Councillor Murray Chong said he was driving through an intersection in New Plymouth’s CBD yesterday when he witnessed an altercation between two roadside window washers and a van driver around 5.30pm yesterday. He then filmed the incident on his iPhone. During the video, one of the irate men approaches Mr Chong while he is filming, defending his profession. “I’m a window washer ... I don’t smoke drugs bro,” he says. “I put food on my f****** family’s table.” “I’ll f****** kill you,” he later threatens. Police told 3News one of the window washers was aged 17. He was charged with common assault, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. The other washer was 15. He was charged with disorderly behaviour and would likely be referred to Youth Aid. Mr Chong said he took the video off YouTube after being threatened by a family member of one of the two young men. However, the video had been reposted by other YouTube account-holders. The aggressive nature of some window washers “ruined it for everyone”, Mr Chong said. A statement on the council’s website advised New Plymouth residents not to pay window washers. - APNZ

Petition calls for cheaper auto-injectors By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton St John dealt with 25 people suffering allergic reactions last year, which could have been eased if adrenaline auto-injectors were more affordable. Anaphylaxis was the serious and life-threatening allergic reaction to a substance - often food, insect bite or sting but different people had intolerances to a range of substances. Wellington woman, Helen Richardson has launched an online petition calling for epinephrine auto-injectors, such as Epipen and Anapen, to be

Pharmac subsidised. She has more than 5800 signatures in support. The response time of medical treatment can be the difference between life and death. An at home solution was an autoinjector – a measured one-off dose able to be self administered. Ashburton St John intensive care paramedic Sharon Duthie said adrenaline stopped the histamine reaction in the body. It worked within two to five minutes. Adrenaline filled auto-injectors were easy to use and anyone could follow the instructions.

At a cost of about $160, the downside to the pens was an expiry date of one year. Mrs Duthie said in life threatening conditions anaphylaxis was rapid and it was important to get adrenaline into the body quickly. It was not uncommon for more than one injection to be needed. It was important an ambulance be called as back-up. The process of filling a syringe with adrenaline was cheaper but took training and practice – under pressure and with emotion involved, the auto-injectors gave the correct measured dose. They were available in child

or adult measures. Mrs Duthie said anaphylaxis was rapid, and involved a skin reaction and one other symptom, either respiratory, cardiovascular or gastrointestinal related. “You can’t just say it’s an allergic reaction, you’ve got to look at the big picture.” “If people have a known allergy, some sort of medic alert indicator is really helpful. Especially, if they are unconscious.” The number of cases St John Ashburton dealt with last year was down on 2012, but up on 2011. On average they had 26 allergy related calls a year.

■ GREYMOUTH DISTRICT COURT

Dubious judge dismisses charge A dubious Greymouth judge has dismissed a careless driving charge against a crashed vehicle’s owner after alibi evidence was offered in his defence. It means Brian Andrew Robinson, 47 will not have to pay a power company the $4482 it was seeking from him after the crashed car slammed into a power pole. Mr Robinson was the registered owner of the Mitsubishi Pajero which failed to take a moderate bend at Dillmanstown about 3km east of Kumara at 9pm on August 5,

smashing a power pole at the base and cutting power to the region. The driver then walked to a nearby house, telling the occupant Michelle Spafford that he had crashed the car but was uninjured. Ms Spafford, although she knew Robinson, did not name him to Constable Paul Watson, instead giving a description that fitted Robinson well. Documents in the car showed that it belonged to Robinson, and Ms Spafford, a couple of days later, picked him out of a montage of eight photos.

The day after the crash, about 1.30pm, Robinson called the Hokitika police station saying that someone had stolen his vehicle from Kumara overnight. He had discovered the crashed car at 7am that morning when his host – he had slept the night at Kumara – was driving him home so that he could feed his animals. The host, Peter Jenkins, said that Robinson had arrived at his place about 6pm on August 5 and did not leave until the following morning. He went out to get in his car about 7am but

came back in a panic because it was not there. Jenkins could not say why Robinson did not immediately report the vehicle stolen, but said that he was concerned about his animals and wanted to get home and feed them. Judge Stephen O’Driscoll said yesterday that Jenkins’ alibi evidence gave Robinson the benefit of reasonable doubt so he was unable to convict him. However, the judge warned the power company could launch a civil claim. - APNZ

Vandals compromise viewing platform’s safety By Alison King Vandals have removed vital supports from the main viewing platform at Hamurana Springs reserve near Lake Rotorua, which is now closed pending an engineer’s assessment. The upper viewing platform offers visitors a direct view over the North Island’s deepest spring. The Department of Conservation were alerted to the vandalism on Wednesday after a member of the public spotted the supports on the ground. It has closed the platform until further notice. Visitors can still view the springs from the lower viewing area. “It’s irresponsible,” said ranger Paul Cashmore. “We’re not sure if it’s endangered the structure but there was potential risk. “It’s not a particularly good time of year for this to happen as it is a very busy place, but we had no choice.”

fee at a Pak’nSave supermarket on Tuesday. It’s the third time since late October that a fake note had been used on the North Shore, police said. Police urged retailers and shoppers to keep a close eye on any $50 or $100 notes they may receive. A fake $50 note was used

to pay for goods at a North Shore butcher shop just before Christmas, and in late October a fake $50 was used at a Glenfield clothing shop. A-21 year-old woman was charged with misuse of a document in relation the Glenfield incident and enquiries to establish where the note originated

from were continuing. Police had yet to determine whether the cases were linked, Constable Simon Hooker said. “If you’re receiving a large denomination of money, take a look closely at the notes. If the paper feels odd or it just doesn’t look right, contact the police,” he said. - APNZ

He said a visitor to the springs on Wednesday noticed three of the metal cross supports lying on the ground. Another was found further down the stream and a fifth is yet to be found. “The metal ring they slot into and most of the washers are missing - possibly down the spring or taken.” He said whoever is responsible has done it quite recently and would have needed tools or “were just determined with a lot of time on their hands”. “We certainly appreciate being told about these things, sooner rather than later.” Also known as Te Puna O Hangarua, Hamurana Springs is of particular cultural importance to Ngati Rangiwewehi and DOC have been working with the iwi and Hamurana Springs Incorporated Society to develop the profile of the area. - APNZ

Attacks spark predator fears Police fear a string of attacks on lone young women in Auckland’s upmarket inner-city suburbs could escalate if the predator is not caught. A serial attacker, or possibly more than one offender, is thought to have carried out a series of indecent assaults in Ponsonby and Freemans Bay over a 12-month period. Police said at least six women had been assaulted, and four incidents appeared to be linked. The incidents occurred between November 2, 2012 and November 12, 2013, mostly late at night, and police fear other victims may have yet to come

forward. Asked why it had taken police until now to go public, Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Florence said police drew links only after a number of complaints were received. “There was time between each complaint and it’s only after we investigated the information we had and had a look at them that we noticed the similarities between them.” Mr Florence said there may be a connection between the incidents, but stopped short of saying there was a serial predator. “All I can say is there’s a string of similar incidents that

could be related. However, we can’t say that for sure - there could be more than one person out there.” Mr Florence said there was nothing unusual about each individual attack. “However, when you get more than one in that same location and that same time of day, or early hours of the morning, there’s a concern.” And police fear the attacks could get worse. “That’s always going to be a concern to us ... if they do escalate. “But at the moment we’re just trying to concentrate on the

offences we have, and if there are any others out there that haven’t been reported, we’re obviously very keen to know about that.” In each of the known incidents, the victim was approached and spoken to before being grabbed and assaulted. Police said there were similarities between the victims’ descriptions of their attacker. Their suspect is likely to be a fair-skinned Maori or Polynesian in his late teens or early 20s who is of slight build, comparatively short, with noticeably big eyes and short, cropped hair. - APNZ

■ MEDIUM COMING TO ASHBURTON

Bringing healing, closure and resolution By Sue NewmaN

Ashburton people will have an opportunity to contact friends or family in the spirit world when medium Jeanette Wilson is in town next month. The medium, who hosted her own television show Dare to Believe, specialises in putting the living in touch with people who have passed over so messages can be delivered that will bring healing, closure and resolution. The messages that come through during her shows are sometimes humorous, sometimes profound and always healing. Jeanette also allows her body to be used as an instrument by spirit world doctors and surgeons to heal volunteers from the audience. An added bonus is that the spirits working with Jeanette allow their presence to be photographed.

Cameras can be brought to the show as photos will often capture a spirit image that is not visible to the eye. She found her life transformed when at the age of 31, while working as a bank manager in England, she started seeing the spirit world. Her deceased grandfather started talking to her and within 24 hours, she was not only seeing and hearing her grandfather but the deceased relatives of those around her. Before her own spiritual awakening Jeanette says she was sceptical about things such as mediumship and clairvoyance. Today she travels around New Zealand demonstrating that there is life after death; that our loved ones continue to love us and watch over us on the other side of life. An evening with TV medium Jeanette Wilson will be held at the Hotel Ashburton on February 7 at 7.30pm.

Divers call time on search The diving search for missing Gisborne man Jesse Tamatea has ended without success, but the search for him continues on land and in the air. The divers made their final efforts to find the body of the missing 25-year-old late on Thursday. The shoreline and aerial search resumed yesterday morning. Surf club IRB crews are available on stand-by. Mr Tamatea disappeared when he and his partner were blown offshore on their kayaks late on Monday. They were camping on a beach north of Gisborne. “We had a fixed-wing aircraft overfly the search area again this morning, and search and rescue volunteers conducted a shoreline search again,” said search co-ordinator Greg Lexmond. “We have yet to make a decision but I would expect this would be the last day of the official search for Mr Tamatea.” The divers carried out an extensive underwater search for Mr Tamatea during the three days of their operation. “They covered an area that would encompass five rugby fields, diving in poor visibility much of the time, sometime less than half-a-metre,” Mr Lexmond said. Collectively, the team dived for 40 hours over the three days, he said. They were unable to fly back to Wellington yesterday because of the pressures they had subjected themselves to under the water over the three days. They drove back instead. “They were brilliant and so disappointed that they were not able to locate Mr Tamatea,” Mr Lexmond said. - APNZ

Losing 113kg in less than a year has been one big education for Dean Rattray and now he wants to use what he’s Erin Tasker.

Dean wants to help other D

ean Rattray is literally half the man he used to be. In less than a year he’s lost a whopping 113kg and is living a happier, healthier life; a life he could only dream of when he was tipping the scales at 220kg. Dean knew he was “way overweight” but he didn’t have the typical health problems related to obesity so considered himself to be in pretty good health, despite his size. It was only a matter of time before his health became an issue though as his size put pressure on his heart, so Dean decided it was time to act. He had a gastric sleeve operation – an operation that reduced the capacity of his stomach from three litres to just 50mls – and after losing half of his body weight, he swears he’ll never go back to the way he was. “I would say by now if I hadn’t done something, diabetes would have been a factor in my life,” he said. He began his pre-operation diet on February 12 last year and by the time he had his surgery on March 28, had already lost 30kg. Since then the weight has just continued to come off. But it’s been about more than just the surgery. Dean said he changed his life completely, making healthy eating and exercise a part of his everyday life. “Surgery on its own won’t do it. You will lose a certain amount of weight but you will get back to where you were, and I don’t want to go back there,” Dean said. He used to wake up in the morning and wonder how he’d get out of bed. “Getting dressed in the morning was a task, going to the toilet was a task and when it came to going places I tended to be a bit like a hermit. If you got an invitation to go somewhere you’d have to think about things like ‘will they have chairs with no arms’, or else I’m not going to fit into them,” he said. But now he smiles when he recalls a black tie event he attended for work in Invercargill, post weight-loss. “Before I wouldn’t have been able to fit in the plane seat and there would have been no tux to fit me,” he said. Finding clothes to fit and seats he can fit into are no longer problems for Dean though. He now fits into aeroplane seats and is looking forward to a trip to Bali – a trip he couldn’t have

DEANO’S TOP FOOD TIPS ■ Eat to fill your hunger, not until you feel full, and eat for your hunger, not your eyes ■ Work on 80 per cent good and 20 per cent naughty; you can still enjoy the odd treat ■ Put your knife and fork down in between mouthfuls. It gives the brain time to catch up to the stomach ■ Use a small plate to control portion sizes ■ Remove added sugar from food/drink (ie honey on Weetbix instead of sugar) ■ 20/20 method for eating – cut food into 20 cent size mouthfuls and chew 20 times ■ Eat fresh rather than processed food ■ Use fresh herbs and spices to flavour rather than sugar and salt ■ Make your own milkshake in a blender with green top milk and add ice and fresh berries or fruit ■ Think about other options to make our food healthier eg: Instead of using mashed potato on our homemade Shepherd’s Pie, use mashed cauliflower with a bit of grated cheese in it

even imagined making a couple of years ago. Dean said he’d always been a “big lad”. He weighed 100kg by sixth form. “I’ve always been sporty. I played rugby, hockey and squash when I was young and have been involved in a lot of sports, but I never got to the stage where I missed training,” he said. Now, if he doesn’t go to the gym, he misses it. Even at 150kg he was “reasonably active”, cycling and refereeing rugby, but he says his overall lifestyle was behind his weight gain. He said he went from driving for a living, to sitting in an office. He’d go home at night and sit. “Then I picked up my guitar and started playing music again and I used that as an excuse not

to go and do what I should be doing,” he said. Fast-forward a year and his days are very different. Monday to Thursday he sets aside an hour for exercise, whether it be biking or going to the gym. Friday is his day off, before a 14km bike race on Saturdays and a bike ride on his own or a spot of hunting on a Sunday. “It’s not about how much you weigh on the scales, it’s about feeling better about yourself. “I’m not into weight on the scales anymore in a way, I like to keep an eye on it but last time I met my surgeon he was rapt and he said it’s not about the numbers anymore. He said ‘How are you feeling?’ and I said ‘I’m a different person’,” Dean said. He used to make excuses, but now he makes time; time to live a

healthy life. Eating healthy isn’t hard; it can be as easy as switching white bread for brown bread, Dean said. “But white bread is still better than a pie.” If you were to fill a bread and butter plate with meat and vegetables and put it in front of Dean today, he wouldn’t be able to eat it all, whereas for 220kg Dean, that would have just been the entrée. It’s all about knowing how and when to eat, he said. “We eat because we are hungry and we eat until the hunger stops, not until we are full,” he said. He reckons 80 per cent of what he eats now is good, but on Fridays he makes an exception. Friday is pie day.

“I have a pie for morning tea and I look forward to it,” he said. “But that’s instead of a pie a day for morning tea, and sometimes another one for lunch.” Dean said he couldn’t have achieved what he had, had it not been for the support of his wife Karin and their children, as well as his friends and colleagues. His operation didn’t come cheap – around $26,000. For Dean it meant borrowing against his mortgage and he knows he’s lucky he was in a position to be able to do that. His employer – Ryal Bush Transport – also helped him out. Helping Dean, helped them. Dean said he was almost at the point of being sacked. He was overweight and was suffering from sleep apnoea – tests showed he was waking 133 times an hour

DEANO’S TOP TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIVING ■ Make time for yourself. Go for a walk, bike ride or do some physical activity. Even mowing the lawns counts ■ Tell someone your goals. A person who will support you and give you a kick in the pants if needed ■ Limit alcohol as it’s high in calories ■ Don’t stand on the scales every day ■ There’s no substitute for exercise but make it fun, not a chore. That way you will keep increasing the intensity as you get fitter ■ Make takeaways a regular combo rather than a large or look for a healthier option.

at night – which meant he was struggling to stay awake at work. A fitter and slimmer Dean now has no problems keeping his mind on the job though. He reckons he’s now at a stage where he would like to “level out”. His surgeon initially told him it would be good for him to lose about 90kg. Dean decided to aim for 100kg and with that goal now surpassed he’s in maintenance mode. “Now it’s a matter of managing where I’m at by diet and trying not to be an exercise freak,” he said. He’s proud of what he’s achieved and some people still don’t recognise the new him. “I am proud of what I’ve done because it’s not just the surgery that’s done it,” he said.

“It took a long time looking in the mirror to see a change but one day it just clicked.” At his last measure, Dean had lost a total of 201cm from his body compared to his first preoperation visit. “You get a tape measure out and that’s more than I am tall,” he said. His whole life has changed. Even clothes shopping is a pleasant experience now. “Shopping is a nice experience now because I can go into shops and buy off the shelf. I don’t have to really look, and go to Christchurch or go on the internet to find clothes that fit me,” he said. Now, he wants to help others make a change and become happier, healthier people like him.

F

or Dean Rattray, losing 113kg in less than a year has been a whole life education. From surgery, to learning to eat healthy and making exercise a part of his life, he knows how to live a better life now and wants to help others to do the same. He’s starting a group – the

Obesity Awareness and Support Group – which will meet for the first time on Monday night at 7pm, at the Ashburton Domain Oval pavilion, off Philip Street. It’s not just for overweight people; it’s also for family or friends of people struggling with their weight, to find out how they can help their loved ones.

Local businesses have come on board with support and services and Dean hopes to have regular motivational speakers and include exercise in the meetings. “It’s real people being helped or directed by real people, not dieticians and those types of people, and we’ve got some good people who have come on board already,” Dean said.

New lead in homicide case BY ZAC YATES Police are combing another property in the search for a Wanganui man missing since November, who they believe has been murdered. Whitu Teaola Hansen, 48, has not been seen since November 24 and police have been treating his disappearance as a homicide since December 2. Detective Senior Sergeant Simon Harrison said a search warrant was executed at an address in Linton, at 9am yesterday. The house is on the same road as a

Second orca pod sighting off peninsula A second pod of orca has been spotted off Banks Peninsula. “It is quite rare to see Orca off the Canterbury coast but to see two pods in just over a week is really special,” Black Cat Cruises guide Clare Ruddenklau said. The small pod of several larger adults and two juveniles were seen near the entrance to Akaroa Harbour. “They were heading south at a reasonable clip,” Ms Ruddenklau said. “It was a real bonus for the guests on board and everyone was pretty excited.” She could only speculate why there have been increased sightings of Orca. “Maybe there’s more food about. There are pods circumnavigating New Zealand all the time but we very rarely see them.” Last week Black Cat Cruises staff on board a routine trip off Banks Peninsula between Lyttelton and Akaroa saw a pod of about 10 Orca moving north.

Mr Dodds said it was a fairly straightforward recovery operation. A hospital spokesman said the man was in a serious condition. A WorkSafe inquiry is under way into the accident. - APNZ

■ EDENDALE ANNUAL WAPITI SALE

Bulls sold under silent auction system BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Twenty-eight of Edendale Station’s top three-year-old bulls were offered at the Whyte family’s annual Wapiti terminal sire sale yesterday. The bulls were sold on-farm using the Helmsman (silent) auction system. Rather than a usual regular auction. All the animals were penned for inspection beforehand, and perspective buyers registered. Each lot number and the up-set price was written on a whiteboard. When the sale commenced all the sires went on the market simultaneously. Purchasers could bid on any number of animals, in $100 increments, by filling in a slip and handing it to a runner. Once the animal reached the reserve price, time restrictions between bids were imposed.

PGG Wrightson’s Mid and South Canterbury deer specialist Brian Newall said the Edendale sale had been conducted using the Helmsman system for years. “It seems to work well for them, but the majority of deer are sold at live auctions,” he said. Lot number one fetched top dollar, attracting strong bidding from the onset and selling for $6100. “He was a beautiful sire, with great growth rates,” Mr Newall said. The majority of bulls on offer sold, with the average price close to $4000. Station owner Donald Whyte said it was pleasing to see new faces among the gallery of return buyers. He said growth rates had stepped up another notch in this year’s line-up, in line with the station’s focus on providing terminal sires for farmers supplying venison markets.

Adventurous couple quite literally take the plunge When your husband is a skydive instructor and you spent your summers as a teenager at the Poor Knights, a traditional wedding photoshoot isn’t going to cut it. Shayni and Micah Couch were wed on Northland’s Tutukaka Coast on January 10.

The following day, Dive! Tutukaka took all the wedding guests out on Perfect Day and wedding photographer Warren Williams asked the couple if they’d be comfortable taking some photos underwater. “I didn’t know it was possible,” Mrs Couch said.

“But when he suggested it we said yes, of course.” Shayni Couch, nee Hawkins, 24, grew up in Tutukaka and worked for Dive! Tutukaka during school holidays from the age of 15. She moved to Dubai when she was 21 for the chance to have an

overseas adventure, where she is now managing yachts. She met her husband, who is originally from Kansas, on her first skydive in Dubai - he was the video camera operator. The adventurous couple decided to return to Tutukaka for their clifftop wedding.

“We actually had more guests from around the world than locals at the wedding,” Mrs Couch said. “It’s been great to have his family here and show them the Coast. A lot of people have come to visit New Zealand as well as for the wedding.” - APNZ

Inventor Jo Kennard prepares to cook a pot of rice in her latest invention, the EasyOven.

Inventor cooks up a winner

J

o Kennard was fed up with finding that pots of food she’d taken to share with friends were either cold on arrival or had spilled through her car. And for her, being fed up didn’t mean complaining, it meant turning her inventive mind to finding an answer. That answer took 20 years to perfect and came in the form of a heat retention oven that is proving a winner worldwide. Inventing things is what Mrs Kennard does for a living. “I invent things in my sleep,” she said. Mrs Kennard (nee Weir) is an ex-Ashburtonian, now living in Brisbane, who runs a company established to market a range of products she’s created from scratch. It is her latest invention however, the EasyOven, that has attracted international attention. The fabric oven grew from humble beginnings and is now manufactured and sold in several countries. It appears impossible that the simple product can not only keep food hot for up to three hours but that it can continue the cooking process of food that has been briefly simmered on a conventional stove. Add to that the stove’s ability to keep frozen goods frozen for up to three hours and logic goes out the window. Mrs Kennard based her

design on the hay box concept, creating an oven that could be rolled up and stored when not in use. It had a solid field test during the Christchurch earthquakes and the Brisbane floods and emerged a winner. It is now made and sold in several countries. The oven saves between 83 and 90 per cent of cooking energy, if used four times a week it will pay for itself in three months and it means meals can be prepared in advance, given a brief preliminary cook and then popped into the cloth oven for up to three hours to continue cooking. “People look at it, they see it and they say it can’t work, but it does. I’ve used it in so many cooking demonstrations.” But it is in developing countries where fuel resources are limited that the oven might find its greatest use because it uses just 250g of wood. Mrs Kennard’s formed relationships with the United Nations and several aid agencies, all of which are keen to take her stove on board. And she’s also partnered with the makers of a clean wood stove that creates a perfect pairing. “There are 4.5 million clean wood stoves going into Ethiopia and it made sense for the EasyOven to go with these,” she said. The stove uses a very small

amount of wood and its pot fits perfectly in the EasyOven bag. Mrs Kennard is setting up a charitable arm to her company to allow a percentage of the profit from each EasyOven sale to subsidise product going into the aid market. She also hopes to set up small businesses in developing countries where people can sell the ovens on a

party-plan system. “It’s an energy-efficient, sustainable product and its timing is right.” With the stove now well established in the market, Mrs Kennard plans to publish a recipe book to show the range of food it will cook. Having been satisfied with the performance of the EasyO-

The 1975 Great Northwesterly Storm was this week confirmed as being Ashburton’s most ferocious windstorm since records began in the town. Guardian reporter Susan Sandys finds the event is still vividly remembered by many in the district today.

1975

windstorm wins ferocious award

L

ast year’s September 10 windstorm took many people back 38 years to the Great Northwesterly Storm of 1975. Data released by Niwa this week confirmed a wind gust recorded during the event has retained its ranking as the highest ever recorded for the Ashburton area. Niwa’s annual climate summary for 2013 catalogued last year’s September 10 gust of 128 kilometres per hour as the strongest in the Ashburton area for the month of September since records began in 1970, but only the second strongest when all months were taken into account. The strongest ever gust was recorded at Winchmore on August 1 in 1975, the date of the Great Northwesterly Storm, which struck the eastern South Island. The gust was 153.8km/h, the highest wind speed for Ashburton and a group of surrounding stations. The figures back up local memory, with most recalling the September storm of 2013 being severe, but not as bad as the 1975 storm. Ashburton Domain parks and open spaces manager David Askin remembers commuting through Ashburton after the 1975 storm. “I can remember plantations flattened, silos on the side of roads and trees down,” Mr Askin said yesterday. He was working in a municipal nursery in Christchurch at the time, and lived at Geraldine. He recalls the domain lost dozens of trees. The layby at the domain used to have a brick wall extending through it, but falling trees destroyed this part of it. The September windstorm flattened “a couple of eucalypts and some pines” at the domain. “But nothing of the magnitude in 1975,” Mr Askin said. Ashburton resident June Bonisch was living in the domain’s lodge during the storm, as the wife of the late Ian Bonisch who was superintendent of parks. “I remember looking out across the old netball courts and seeing trees bend down and never come back up again, because they were snapped off,” Mrs Bonisch said. “After this happened you couldn’t get through the domain, everything was down, all the tracks were blocked,” Mrs

Bonisch said. She recalls her husband saying the foreman of the domain had been “in shock” and not able to speak until after smoko. Netherby resident Rod Hayes, today aged 65, ran Hayes Nurs-

ery at the time. He recalls watching in despair as glass flew off and was propelled through the air “like flying saucers” from his three large 80ft-long glass houses. Building materials from house

roofs, sheds, and trees falling would have presented a danger, but the storm was overnight and most people sheltered in their homes. “Lucky it was at night-time, if it had been in the day people

would have been killed.” The cost of the damage to his nursery was $50,000, and he was only partly insured so had to pay over $47,000 himself. “You just had to carry on, simple as that,” Mr Hayes said.

A huge clean-up effort was required after the 1975 Great Northwesterly Storm.

inds raged overnight Thursday, July 31, and power failed throughout Mid Canterbury at 12.30am on Friday, August 1. The power cut meant the Ashburton Guardian could not publish the afternoon paper for the first time in its 95-year history. Guardian staff however covered the story for the New Zealand Press Association. Residents suffered an anxious night as roaring winds and driv-

ing rain pummelled their homes and gardens. Some homes lost roofs, had their windows smashed and even had sheets of corrugated iron slice through their walls. A deck of a lorry belonging to Burnett’s Transport Limited was ripped from the lorry chassis and thrown into a garden in Thomas Street, Tinwald. A large transport shed in South Street collapsed, trapping machinery.

Building research investigators were to visit the town to check on some of the newertype houses in the town and Tinwald which had lost roofs, or had other structural failures, the Guardian reported on August 2. The wider eaves of newer homes were believed to be responsible for those homes having received the most damage. Lambs were reported torn from their mothers’ sides by the howling wind and tossed

from one end of a paddock to another. In the August 2 Guardian, medical superintendent Dr L. R. Chapman assured the public that Ashburton Hospital engineering staff had been working on the roof “providing it with first aid”.

■ MANUKAU DISTRICT COURT

In brief

Intimidation claims on loans By AnnA LeAsk Counties Manukau Police are investigating a loan company director following complaints he used weapons to enforce compliance of loan terms. Gavin John Marsich, director of Pay Day Loans, also known as 20/50 Loans, appeared in the Manukau District Court yesterday charged with possession of an offensive weapon. He was bailed until next month. It has been alleged the 54-year-old and others used offensive weapons to enforce any non-compliance with the loan terms, which include seven-

day repayment. Police are now seeking information from anyone else who may have come into contact with Mr Marsich’s business. “We are requesting anyone who has had contact with Mr Marsich or any other representatives of his company Pay Day Loans to report any concerns to Police,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Pizzini. “The alleged behaviour is unacceptable. We need people to come forward - any information from the public will assist with the investigation and ensure those responsible are held accountable.” Police believe most victims

Extradition decision pending By BrendAn MAnning A decision whether to extradite a former Catholic brother facing sex charges in Australia has been referred to Justice Minister Judith Collins. Australia has been trying to extradite Bernard Kevin McGrath, 66, from New Zealand to face 252 child sex abuse charges. Early last year Christchurch District Court Judge Jane Farish ruled McGrath should stand trial across the Tasman. However, her decision was appealed to the High Court, which then referred the case back to Judge Farish, ruling that she needed to again look at whether the case should be referred to the Minister of Justice for a final decision on McGrath’s extradition. Yesterday at Christchurch District Court, Judge Farish referred the decision to Ms Collins. Judge Farish said she was satisfied there were extraordinary and compelling reasons for the decision to be made by the minister, Radio New Zealand reported.

A spokeswoman for Ms Collins’ office confirmed the referral had been made. The process now under the Extradition Act was that the court must send the minister a copy of the warrant of detention, together with a copy of all other documents before the court, Ms Collins’ spokeswoman said. Ms Collins will then invite McGrath to make submissions before seeking advice from officials at the Ministry of Justice. Under the Act, Ms Collins must determine whether McGrath will be surrendered in accordance with the grounds set out in the Act, including whether compelling or extraordinary circumstances - including those relating to health or age - would make it unjust or oppressive to surrender him, and whether there were substantive grounds to believe that he would be in danger of being subjected to an act of torture by the extradited country. Subject to any appeal, any decision by the minister must be made within two months of yesterday’s District Court judgment. - APNZ

Guilty verdict

A former Christchurch police officer has been convicted and discharged after stealing almost $3000 given to him in the course of his duty. Trevor Hinkley stole $2750 in cash Trevor Hinkley while employed in Christchurch police’s traffic diversion scheme. Now in his 60s, the former long-serving officer pleaded guilty to one representative charge of theft by a person in a special relationship last year. His name suppression was lifted by the Christchurch District Court yesterday. Hinkley kept cash given to him by members of the public, which he failed to deal with in accordance with the requirements of the Commissioner of Police. Hinkley’s defence counsel Pip Hall last year told the court that Hinkley was stressed when his colleagues caught him with the money. However, Crown prosecutor Kathy Bell rejected claims that Hinkley’s health at the time of the thefts had a “relevant bearing on his offending”. Hinkley left police employment in December 2012. An internal investigation had been commenced but was not completed at the time of his resignation. - APNZ

A Mongrel Mob associate on the run from Hawkes Bay police has been caught. Miharo Jason Papa, 29, who has a newly tattooed swastika on his cheek, triggered two AOS callouts during the past couple of weeks as police searched for him. A police spokesperson said a search warrant was executed on Thursday by Hawke’s Bay police in Waipukurau. “During the course of that search police have located Miharo Papa. He was taken into custody without incident.” He is due to face a raft of charges. - APNZ

Tourists assaulted Two tourists were assaulted at a campground in Raglan on Thursday night. A woman punched a French woman in the jaw, knocking her to the ground, and shortly afterwards punched an Australian woman in the nose. Police said the fight broke out after a man and woman were told to leave the Kapua Camping Ground about 6pm. A 23-year-old woman was arrested and will appear in Hamilton District Court later this month. - APNZ

Referred to coroner The death of a New Zealand woman shot on a Libyan beach has been referred to New Zealand’s chief coroner. A private funeral service will be held next week for public health worker Lynn Howie, 46. It is understood her body has been repatriated with the help of New Zealand authorities. A private service for friends, colleagues and relatives will be held at the Kingswood funeral home in Upper Hutt next Wednesday. - APNZ

Effective protection needed Coen Lammers EDITOR

T

he violent deaths of young Bradley and Ellen Livingstone in Dunedin at the hands of their father has send shockwaves throughout New Zealand and will reverberate with many in Mid Canterbury. The mother of the children, Katharine Webb had a protection order against the father Edward Livingstone, like numerous women in the Ashburton District, but this did little to protect her babies. The death of two children again shows the impotency of protection orders in their current form without the ability or willingness of authorities to genuinely defend the victims. New Zealand has witnessed a number of high-profile cases in which women have been murdered by men who had been identified as a potential danger. Alexsis Tovizi, Jade Bayliss, Christie Marceau and Vanessa Pickering are just four wellknown names on a long list of murder victims, but they only represent the tip of the iceberg. Last year alone, Ashburton District Court dealt with over 50 breaches of protection orders, many of whom were recidivist offenders like Edward Livingstone. Some are silly, accidental offences, but many cases are much more sinister involving assaults and even rape. Going back through the Guardian records produces a sad catalogue of protection order breaches and it appears that only the most serious offenders feel the full force of the law, while most walk away with minor punishments or restorative justice. This is not dissimilar to Edward Livingstone who had appeared in court for two previous breaches and had threatened to kill his family. The Government has been investigating an extension of its current electronic monitoring programme for sex offenders to also include serial domestic violence offenders. Giving someone a piece of paper and hope they will stay away just seems naïve in this big, bad world. Numerous women and children have paid the ultimate price so the Government needs to show the country that they are willing and able to protect these vulnerable Kiwis.

the House seeking to abolish physical punishment as a way to discipline children. It was nicknamed the antismacking bill, and it followed some occasions of serious violence which had killed or severely injured small children. While the general public had been scandalised by these terrible stories of brutality, it seemed it was a different story when it came to their own children. Over and over we heard that parents wanted to decide for themselves. The issue was that everyone’s version of appropriate punishment was different and the

extremity varied widely. Many parents maintained they would never step over the line. Many adopted the “spare the rod and spoil the child” view. But the remainder were very, very quiet. That’s what scared me. That’s what I saw in my mind’s eye when I looked at front pages featuring battered children. Now, I’ve heard remarkably little about untoward punishing of children in the half dozen or so years since the act came into force. The few cases that come to mind involved weapons and I find it difficult to see how anyone would object to the punishment of violence involving the use of a weapon. Come on, this is a small person who has no chance of fighting back on equal terms when faced by an angry adult. I don’t believe the so-called anti-smacking law was aimed at those aiming a small smack

across the fingers or legs. What I do believe is that the Government of the day saw it as the only enforceable way of dealing with those who bash kids, those who sexually abuse them and those who murder them. If that law is what it takes to deal with them, good on them. Realistically, the police and childcare authorities are not going to arrive at the midnight hour if the issue is a slap on the hand. But when it comes to screaming and other violence towards children which is reported by neighbours, family or passersby, I’d be happy to hear that bang on the door. And when it comes to the community, I’d like us all to shoulder the responsibility of speaking out on violence against children. What is it they say about it taking a village to bring up a child?

■ INDONESIA

In brief

Border breaches ‘deplored’ By Karlis Salna Indonesia has demanded the Australian government immediately suspend its policy of turning asylum seeker boats back after the Australian navy breached its territorial waters. The Indonesian government say it deplores the breaches and its navy will also ramp up patrols in areas where the incidents occurred in what appears a serious decline in already fractured relations. A stern warning from Indonesia, contained in a statement issued yesterday afternoon, came after Immigration Minister Scott Morrison confirmed Australian navy vessels had entered Indonesian waters without permission while conducting border protection operations. “The government of Indonesia deplores and rejects the violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Australian vessels,” the statement read. “The government of Indonesia underlines that any of such violation of whatever basis constitutes a serious matter in bilateral relations of the two countries. “Indonesia therefore demands that such violation will not recur in the future. “The government of Indonesia has the right to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with international laws and the charter of the United Nations. “Indonesia demands that such operation conducted by the Australian government that led to this incident to be suspended until formal clarification is received and assurances of no recurrence of such incidents has been provided.” “While we take note such assurance that Australia fully respects Indonesia’s territorial sovereignty, Indonesia rejects the so-called ‘turn back boats’ policy and ... any unilateral ac-

Fires hit South Australia Three homes have been destroyed in the Barossa Valley and fire crews are battling to save more as a series of major bushfires continue to burn across South Australia. The Country Fire Service said two homes and a cottage had been destroyed in a fire burning out of control at Eden Valley, northeast of Adelaide. CFS crews were actively protecting other properties with the blaze burning through more than 4000 hectares of grassland in a matter of hours. At Renmark the fires had destroyed more than 60,000 hectares of scrub and remained out of control.- AAP

tion which risks the recurrence of similar incidents in the future.” The statement, which was released by the office of Indonesia’s Co-ordinating Minister for Politics, Security and Law, also demanded a more detailed explanation as to how Australian navy vessels had strayed into Indonesian waters. The statement came after a spokesman for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono earlier suggested Indonesia was dissatisfied with Australia’s response to the incidents. Teuku Faizasyah, the president’s spokesman on foreign affairs, confirmed that Dr Yudhoyono had been briefed on reports of the territorial incursions. He said Dr Yudhoyono had also been made aware of Australia’s “expression of regret” in relation to the incidents. Despite the government repeatedly promising to respect Indonesia’s territorial sover-

eignty, Mr Morrison yesterday admitted to a number of incursions by Australian vessels during Operation Sovereign Borders. It is unclear whether the navy ships were turning back asylum seeker boats when they entered Indonesian waters. “This was done unintentionally and without knowledge or sanction by the Australian government,” Mr Morrison said. “The Australian government takes our shared commitment with Indonesia to mutually respect the sovereignty of each nation very, very seriously.” An Indonesian spokesman warned the latest incident was likely to put further strain on relations between Jakarta and Canberra, already at their lowest point in more than a decade in the wake of last year’s spying row. “If they entered Indonesian waters like that, this will only worsen the situation and the relationship between Indonesia

and Australia,” Agus Barnas said. A rapprochement between the countries following Jakarta’s decision late last year to freeze co-operation with Australia in the wake of the spying row is now in serious jeopardy. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop apologised to her Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa on Thursday, while Mr Morrison said a more formal apology will be provided to the Indonesian government via the Australian embassy in Indonesia. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the government needs to stop blaming the navy and take responsibility for its own border protection policy. “These service men and women do an extremely tough job under very difficult circumstances and they shouldn’t be blamed for the failings of the Abbott government and its policies,” Mr Shorten said. - AAP

WWII soldier who hid until 1974 dies

A bomb blast has struck an anti-government protest march in the Thai capital, wounding at least 28 people, officials say, sending tensions soaring following weeks of mass opposition rallies. It is the latest in a series of attacks by unknown assailants against demonstrators seeking to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The protest movement said the blast happened shortly before rally leader Suthep Thaugsuban was due to march past the spot.

The former Bulldog was charged with detaining a person with intent to obtain advantage. He is accused of acting with two others to detain a man over a drug debt of thousands of dollars. Tandy was banned from playing professional rugby league after being embroiled in a betting scandal during the 2010 season. - AAP

UN scrutiny welcomed The questioning of the Catholic Church by the UN child rights watchdog has been hailed as historic by an Australian abuse victims’ support organisation. Nicky Davis, the spokeswoman for the Australian branch of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s spotlight on the Vatican could be seen as vindication for those who had suffered abuse. “Survivors should feel vindicated that for once their experience has not been ignored, for once they have not been abandoned, and finally this abusive institution has been revealed, without all the usual smoke and mirrors,” Ms Davis said. - AAP

New bird flu death A Japanese soldier who hid in the Philippine jungle for three decades, refusing to believe World War II was over until his former commander returned and persuaded him to surrender, has died in Tokyo aged 91. Hiroo Onoda waged a guerilla campaign in Lubang Island near Luzon until he was finally

persuaded in 1974 that peace had broken out. Leaflet drops and other efforts to convince him the Imperial Army had been defeated were unsuccessful, and it was only a visit from his former commanding officer, who ordered him to lay down his arms, that brought an end to his one-man war.

Onoda was the last of several dozen so-called holdouts scattered around Asia, men who symbolised the astonishing perseverance of those called upon to fight for their emperor. Their number included a soldier arrested in the jungles of Guam in 1972. Trained as an information

officer and guerrilla tactics coach, Onoda was dispatched to Lubang in 1944 and ordered never to surrender, never to resort to suicidal attacks and to hold firm until reinforcements arrived. He and three other soldiers continued to obey that order long after Japan’s 1945 defeat. - AFP

■ QUOTES

Keith still a key player

They said it . . .

Ashburton bowler Sandra Keith should know this weekend if a place at the Commonwealth Games is hers to lose, or if the dream is already lost. The five strong men’s and women’s teams for the annual trans-Tasman test series against Australia in Melbourne in March will be named on Sunday. However, as coach Dave Edwards confirmed last week, the bowlers named in the team will have the front running for the Commonwealth Games and would have to play badly to be left out of the team for Glasgow. The recent national championships in Dunedin will have given the selectors some food for thought but the bowlers who have performed in the international arena will have the edge when the selectors name the Trans-Tasman team. Seven men and seven women, including Keith, played tests in the United Kingdom last winter to test themselves on the slower greens, with that group forming the likely candidates. “They will be the key players who will be in contention for the test team,’’ national selector Terry Scott said yesterday. “We will announce the Commonwealth Games team after the test series.’’ Nelson club-mates Jo Edwards and Val Smith are certainties for the women’s team and the other two strong candidates will be

Lisa White (Wellington) and Mandy Boyd (Canterbury), who both won silver medals in triples at World Bowls in Adelaide. The three bowlers in contention for the final spot are Keith, Nelson’s Amy McIlroy, who was in the winning fours team at the national championships, and Hawkes Bay’s Angela Boyd. Once the fifth member is found the New Zealand selectors face a dilemma on who they will pick for the women’s singles at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Smith and Edwards have the credentials with outstanding international records in the event and can be expected to continue their success - but only one can have the shot at Commonwealth Games gold in Glasgow. In the men’s team Shannon McIlroy (Nelson) is expected to be the men’s singles player for the trans-Tasman series and the Commonwealth Games. Another certainty in the team will be Tony Grantham (Auckland), who won the pairs and fours titles at the national championships while the Sydney based Ali Forsyth is another world class bowler who is a certainty for selection. The other two spots are expected to be filled by winning national championship fours skip Andrew Kelly (Canterbury) and the experienced Sydney based international Richard Girvan. - ODT

■ CRICKET

Black Caps about to find their place BY DAVID LEGGAT New Zealand are about to discover where they rate in world cricket. Leave aside the international rankings, which have India No 1 in ODIs, No 2 in tests, and New Zealand No 8 in both. That alone gives an indication of the gulf that exists between the countries in terms of hard achievement. What it doesn’t say is how far apart the teams are right now in pure cricket playing ability. From tomorrow, the next 31 days will give New Zealand a clear idea of where they are in comparison with some of the game’s finest players. They will know the challenge that faces them is more substantial than that presented by the West Indies. New Zealand were far superior in the test series, split an

ODI series they are ruing having let slip into a 2-2 draw, and cleaned up in the T20s against a side without several of their leading short form players. India are at full strength, although there might be a quibble over the absence of burly veteran allrounder Yuvraj Singh, a batsman with damaging ability but out of sorts. The batsmen, led by the brilliant Virat Kohli - who looks every bit a captain in waiting for when MS Dhoni finally steps aside - are fast-scoring, dazzling shotmakers. But New Zealand will have taken some hope from their last overseas foray, to South Africa last month, when they were cleaned out in the two ODIs and lost the test rubber 1-0. The batsmen, so used to easy conditions at home, were undone on pitches with which they were unfamiliar.

“It’s just a small one. It’s not that big. But if I had played on it, it would have been 10 times worse, they say, so I could have been out potentially for three, four months. I’m very happy I stopped. It was the right call.” BERNARD TOMIC on why he pulled out of the Australian Open with a groin injury after losing the opening set of his first-round clash with Rafael Nadal.

But New Zealand will also fancy their chances against India’s bowlers. The tourists have brought five fast-medium bowlers and three spinners - a legspinner, an offspinner and a left armer. All bases seem covered. Rarely does a Dhoni press conference these days pass without a reference to his contention that bowlers are being run out of the ODI game. Certainly his troop have taken some fearful stick in recent months. Since October 30, 2012, only four fielders, instead of the previous five, have been allowed outside the 30-yard circle in non-powerplay overs. Captains have been tearing their hair out, bowlers have been looking for a couch in a cool, dark room. In India’s recent home series against Australia, the visitors passed 300 in five out of six innings. India’s batsmen got them out

of more than one hole, but New Zealand will have taken note. “I think [the rules are] something that we need to sit and think about, if 350 is the new 280 or 290 or 300,” Dhoni said late last year. “Most of the bowlers are getting smashed with the extra fielder inside. A few of them feel it would be better off to put a bowling machine there.” That might be handy tomorrow. McLean Park can become a shooting gallery, if the pitch is up to its usual standard - that is, a total belter, the sort of road on which batsmen figure they’ve missed out if they don’t make at least 50. India’s visit is an exciting opportunity for the New Zealand team. And in ODI terms, if they fancy they’re better than eighth in the world, there’s no better chance to prove it. - NZH

In brief Wilkinson in touch Kiwi Tim Wilkinson sits six shots off the lead after the opening round of the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge in La Quinta, California. The lefthander opened his season with a three-under 69 to sit in a share of 48th place. Patrick Reed of the United States leads the tournament by one shot at nine-under after carding a 63, with five birdies coming on the back nine. New Zealand’s Danny Lee is in 129th at one-over following a round which included three birdies, two bogeys and a double-bogey. Meanwhile Michael Campbell has had a poor start to the season after opening the Abu Dhabi Championships with a six-over 78. - HOL

The Australian, Queensland and North Queensland five-eighth is only the third player to take out the Rugby League World magazine award twice, alongside Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer.

Jumping action kicks off in Ashburton Top flight show jumping action returns to Ashburton this weekend for the first South Island event of the New Year, starting today. The Ashburton Area Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) one star Jumping and Showhunter Show has attracted strong fields across all levels with riders eager to get the autumn season underway following the Christmas break. Local pony riders Lucinda Askin and Jamiee Bird will be hoping the hometown advantage will play into their favour in the Pony Grand Prix Series,

which is undoubtedly the highlight of the weekend’s competition. Featuring 13 of the South Island’s leading pony combinations going head-to-head, competition will be tough as they look to secure vital points on the national series’ leader boards heading into the business end of the season. Consistency has Halswell’s Steffi Whittaker on Moonlight Glow currently the leading southerners on the series, but Askin and Lucy Turner on Tallyho Mystic are in hot pursuit. Askin has the best chance

with four ponies entered including the eye-catching skewbald Totem, which has been back to his brilliant best of late with wins back-to-back wins at Ashburton and Canterbury A&P in the spring. She also has Buckle Up, Mai Tai and Dusky Brew, while Bird has Showtym Image. The One Star Horse Grand Prix has attracted just the seven starters and disappointingly top local hope Susie Hayward and her stallion Andretti are not in contention. Hayward has opted not to start after traveling up to the

North Island last weekend to take on the country’s best in the FEI NZ World Cup Final at Waitemata. Competition will be tight in the junior and amateur classes, as well as the age group series classes. The show has three full rings of jumping as well as a show hunter ring in operation over both days catering to riders of all levels, jumping from 65cm right through to Grand Prix. Jumping action starts at 8.30am and entry to the grounds is free.

Peterhansel told to give up on Dakar win Stephane Peterhansel surrendered all hope of winning a 12th Dakar Rally title yesterday when he was told not to jeopardise Mini’s push for a podium sweep, robbing the gruelling race of a thrilling finish in South America. The Frenchman, who has six motorcycle triumphs and five wins on four wheels in the race, finished the 11th stage from

Antofagasta to El Salvador in Chile in fourth place, 14min 14sec behind stage winner Orlando Terranova. Mini team-mate and overall leader Nani Roma was second on the day, just over three minutes ahead of Peterhansel for the 605km stage - the longest of the event. Spanish driver Roma leads the race by 5min 32sec with

just two stages remaining. “The game is over. We’ve had a good laugh and enjoyed ourselves,” said Peterhansel, who failed to disguise his frustration at the decision. “The team asked us to not take any more risks. It’s a bit frustrating because we’ve done most of the hard work. But, if Mini wants to have three cars on the podium, at the speed at

which we are driving out in front, it’s easy to crash a car or even two in just one day. “We know that this can happen, but I didn’t think that they would do it.” Race organisers said they were a little shocked by Mini’s team orders which should see Roma, Peterhansel and Qatar’s Nasser Al-Attiyah monopolise the top three places. - AFP

In brief Dellacqua powers in Resurgent Casey Dellacqua has equalled her best-ever grand slam performance after storming into the fourth round of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. Dellacqua was dominant throughout her third-round encounter with former Australian Open and US Open semi-finalist Zheng Jie, winning 6-2 6-4 to set up a round of 16 clash with Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard. The West Australian left-hander has only dropped 13 games in her first three matches and will fancy her chances of clocking up another victory against Bouchard, the No.30 seed who saw off the challenge of American Lauren Davis 6-2 6-2 earlier in the day. - AAP

Kyrgios website crashes He lit up Margaret Court Arena with a fiery performance at the Australian Open, and now teenager Nick Kyrgios has set the internet world ablaze. The 18-year-old’s official website went into meltdown after receiving more than 250,000 clicks in the wake of his gritty second-round defeat to Frenchman Benoit Paire yesterday. “Due to excess traffic and over 250,000 hits in 12 hours GTC’s @NickKyrgios website has crashed, we are working to resolve the issue,” Kyrgios’ management company Global Tennis Connections tweeted yesterday afternoon. Kyrgios had posted a link to a new blog entry on the site about his fiveset thriller just a few hours earlier. The rising tennis star became one of the top-five most mentioned players on Twitter on day four of the Melbourne Park tournament, alongside heavyweights Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer. - AAP

Mayer upsets Janowicz German journeyman Florian Mayer has advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time in 10 attempts with a surprise straight-sets victory over Wimbledon semi-finalist Jerzy Janowicz. The 30-year-old Mayer won 7-5 6-2 6-2 against Janowicz, the No.20 seed from Poland. Janowicz had been lucky to get through the opening round, where he had to come back from a two-set deficit against impressive Australian wildcard Jordan Thompson. Mayer will play David Ferrer in the round of 16. - AAP

Genie Army happy There are few 19-year-olds who can boast their own army. But then, there are few 19-year-olds with as much talent as Eugenie Bouchard and the Canadian showed all of it in a 6-2 6-2 third round win over Lauren Davis that gave the rapidly growing Genie Army plenty to sing about. In the “youngest” third round of the Australian Open – Davis, at age 20, is a year older than Bouchard – it was the teenager who appeared the vastly more experienced player, taking control early with clean winners, solid serving and devastating intent to secure victory in an hour and 17 minutes. The fact that Bouchard faced just two break points for the match – she swatted one of them away with one of four aces – showed that composure is a quality that’s growing quickly. - AAP

With players desperately seeking to spend as little time on court as possible on another oppressively hot Melbourne day, Williams took 80 minutes to seal her win and then received the not-unwelcome news that an injury to her sister Venus meant their doubles match also scheduled for yesterday was cancelled. “It’s tough mentally and physically but I was prepared,” said Serena, who has dropped only 12 games in her singles matches.

Ferrer marches on BY JOHN SALVADO Spanish tennis ironman David Ferrer ended the Australian Open campaign of Frenchman Jeremy Chardy with a straight-sets victory in the third round yesterday. Ferrer, 31, was never troubled after saving three set points in the ninth game of the second set. He went on to win 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 in a match lasting two hours and 12 minutes on another brutally hot day at Melbourne Park. Ferrer, the No.3 seed, has now reached the fourth round or bett e r at each of the last 15 grand slam tournaments. The seemi n g l y inde-

structible Spaniard has also contested the last 45 majors on the trot. Ferrer’s next opponent will be German journeyman Florian Mayer, who advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time in 10 attempts with a straight-sets victory over Wimbledon semi-finalist Jerzy Janowicz. The 30-year-old Mayer won 7-5 6-2 6-2 against Janowicz, the No.20 seed from Poland. Janowicz had been lucky to get through the opening round, where he had to come back from a two-set deficit against impressive Australian wildcard Jordan Thompson. Janowicz said he had yet to fully recover from a broken foot, which had prevented him practising for two months. “My problem today was that I was unprepared and I had played two matches in a row that went for over three hours,” he said. “In the second round, it was three hours and 30 minutes and it was extremely hot, over 41 degrees and I was really exhausted for this match. “Because I didn’t practise much, I was not able to get ready for the next match. “Today I was completely kaput.” Janowicz missed last year’s Davis Cup World Group playoff loss to Australia due to a back injury. Meanwhile, it is the hottest debate at the Australian Open: to play or not to play when water bottles are melting, ball boys are faint- i n g and

tram lines are buckling. Hallucinating title pretender Frank Dancevic claims being forced to play in such extreme heat is inhumane. “And I don’t think it’s fair to anybody when you see players pulling out of matches and passing out,” Dancevic said. “It’s hazardous to be out there. It’s dangerous.” Peng Shuai vomited on court, Alize Cornet sobbed and demanded to know “why they didn’t stop matches?” as temperatures soared above 40 degrees for four straight days. “It was an oven. An oven. It was burning,” the Frenchwoman said. But championship contender Roger Federer argues “if you can’t deal with it, you throw in the towel”. “But that’s for me,” Federer said. “It’s just a mental thing. “If you’ve trained hard enough your entire life or the last few weeks and you believe you can do it and come through it, there’s no reason.” Fellow four-time champion Andre Agassi tweeted: “Heat is not a curve. “It is an opportunity to separate yourself.” And more than a decade after Agassi famously bounded up desert mountains on Christmas Day to earn himself a grand slam edge, it seems the elite are still beating the heat at Melbourne Park. Tellingly, as the mercury soared, so too did the sport’s Big Four. Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak

Djokovic and Andy Murray all reached the third round without dropping a set. Was it a coincidence that women’s favourite Serena Williams and two-time defending champion Victoria Azarenka also blasted their way through the brutal first week at Melbourne with a minimum of fuss? “It felt pretty hot, like you’re dancing in a frying pan or something,” Azarenka said. “But it’s the same for everybody. You just have to adapt.” If you’re here to win, former world No.1 Ana Ivanovic agreed that’s all you can do. “You just have to toughen it out,” Ivanovic said. “Sometimes it’s hard to catch your breath. “You have to find a way to cool yourself and stay hydrated. “We’ve been playing in this heat for years now - not every year we had this many days in a row - but it’s something you expect to face when you come over here.” - AAP

In brief Thunder down Rockets Kevin Durant scored 36 points and Reggie Jackson added 23 to lift the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 10492 win over the Houston Rockets yesterday. The Thunder used a big third quarter to erase a 12-point deficit and tie the score entering the fourth. The teams stayed within a basket after that until Jackson scored five points in a 7-0 run which gave the Thunder a 97-89 lead with four minutes left. Oklahoma City scored four quick points capped by a fast break dunk by Jackson a couple minutes later to stretch the lead to 103-92. James Harden and Terrence Jones scored 16 points each for Houston, which scored just 19 second-half points after posting a season-high 73 points in the first half, setting an NBA record for the largest differential between two halves. - AP

Tough NFL choice While John Elway famously said he had no Plan B when he signed Peyton Manning in 2012, Wes Welker certainly had one when the New England Patriots offered him on a reduced contract last winter. Welker jumped at the chance to team up with Manning in Denver, where he signed a two-year deal for $12 million, $1 million more per year than the Patriots offered. After spending six seasons as Tom Brady’s top target in New England, Welker was Manning’s leading receiver before missing the final month of the season with a concussion. Welker gets another chance to stick it to his old team when the Broncos and Patriots square off with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Welker has been asked ever since his arrival in Denver to compare the two quarterbacks. “It’s like comparing Picasso and Michelangelo,” he said. “It’s hard to compare the two.” - AP

Bravo ‘a winner’ As a Twenty20 world champion and an Indian Premier League title-winner, Dwayne Bravo is a heavyweight of cricket’s ultra-short version. Bravo is in Australia to play two BBL games for Melbourne Renegades in a hit-and-run mission filling in for Aaron Finch ahead of domestic one-dayers in the West Indies. The 30-year-old faces the challenge of trying to lift the seventh-placed Renegades back into semi-final contention. “There’s a lot of hype with me coming here and the team definitely in a must-win situation,” Bravo said yesterday. “The pressure is going to be there but I’m the type of person that absorbs pressure and delivers most of the time.” - AAP

Snowden battles belt history BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

John Snowden’s defence of the Ballinger Belt is on target, but he has some catching up to do in today’s final in the New Zealand Rifle Association’s National Championships at Trentham. Snowden had a strong start before a tricky 900 and 100 yard efforts on Thursday dropped him down the field. On his second stint from 900 yards he improved to be on 425 points and 40 centrals, to be just eight points behind leader Diane Collings on 433 and 29 centrals before the second effort from 1000 yards. At the end of the 1000 yard shoot Snowden was seventh, 13 points adrift of Collings. The top 16 advanced to today’s 15-shot final from 900 yards and with the cumulative scores

Snowden still has some work to do, and history to break. After 20 years of trying Snowden won the Ballinger Belt for the first time last year. However, dating back to the inaugural event in 1861 no shooter has been able to successfully defend the belt. Collings, a two-time belt winner in 1987 and 1992, holds the lead by four points from Kevin Win (Onslow). Te Puke’s Mike Collings, who Snowden won gold with at the Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 1998, is also in the mix in fourth.

Townsend jumps into contention BY MICHAEL BROWN Chad Townsend says he’s enjoyed every minute of his time since relocating to Auckland in November. Every minute, that is, except the one when he jumped off the Sky Tower. That was a leap of faith to plunge 328m off New Zealand’s tallest structure and it was similar to his decision to join the Warriors after spending his entire life and playing career in Cronulla. He knew of a few Warriors players, having played against them before, and spent two days in Auckland last year to check out the club’s facilities (it rained the whole time) but it was very much a step into the unknown for the 23-year-old. Townsend figured he needed a change but also a chance and he might get that sooner than he might have expected with continued doubt over the fitness of five-eighth Thomas Leuluai. Leuluai is making progress from the groin injury that

wrecked his World Cup campaign and has been doing some running but his condition - osteitis pubis - can sometimes take months to get over. He was the Warriors’ best and most consistent player in the second half of last season and they won’t want to be without him, but in Townsend they have someone who plays a similar game and someone who thinks he would fit in well alongside halfback Shaun Johnson. “I think my style of play would suit his,” Townsend says. “He’s got that x-factor, flair and plays what’s in front of him. I’m a bit more structured, calm. I like to tell people what to do.” Townsend is a former Junior Kangaroos captain but had only limited opportunities at Cronulla playing backup to Todd Carney and Jeff Robson. He was courted by the Storm, Dragons and Panthers before settling on the Warriors. “I didn’t really know what to expect at the Warriors,” he said. “I came over here with

the mindframe that, no matter what, I was going to enjoy it. “I felt like I needed a change and it was a big decision to come here. Moving here has opened my eyes to the bigger picture of what life is like. “You look around the locker room and you see some pretty big names with the likes of Sam Tomkins, Shaun Johnson, Manu Vatuvei, Simon Mannering. “They are all extremely good at what they do, but I always back myself and my ability. I’m just hoping to nail down a position in the team and have some success.”

He’s already impressed coach Matt Elliott. “He comes in as a guy who wants to succeed, who wants to play NRL,” Elliott said. “He’s massively competitive and highly focused on improving our footy. “He’s been a major contributor to our pre-season to this point. I would like to think that, like every player in our team, he’s going to be competing hard for a spot. He’s certainly elevated the way we operate as a team.” The full squad gathered for the first time this week with the return of the international players, including Tomkins. Manu Vatuvei (knee, ankle) and Kevin Locke (knee) have niggles, which threatens their involvement in the Auckland Nines. Overall, Elliott is pleased with the fitness of his squad seven weeks out from their first NRL game and hopes to have a full squad to choose from for their first game against the Eels on March 9. - APNZ

In brief

Chelsea bars Man U’s path By Tom Williams Having stemmed a run of three straight defeats by beating Swansea City last Saturday, Manchester United will look to provide further evidence of their backbone at Chelsea this weekend. The 2-0 win over Swansea enabled United to avenge their FA Cup elimination by the Welsh club a week earlier, but victories for all the teams above them meant they remained 11 points off the pace in the Premier League. When the sides met in August, drawing 0-0 at Old Trafford, the season was only a week old, but while champions United have floundered since then, Chelsea are riding high in third place ahead of Sunday’s encounter. The London club have already dispatched Manchester City and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge this season and have never lost at home in the league under manager Jose Mourinho, but United midfielder Darren Fletcher is undaunted. “We are expected to win every game and it doesn’t matter if it is Swansea at home or Chelsea away - it is viewed as a disaster if we don’t win,” the Scottish midfielder told the United website. “We will treat it like we do with every other game. We will go to win. “We know it is a great challenge going to Chelsea, but we can take some confidence from the Swansea game and we are fully confident of going down there and getting more of the same.” Leaders Arsenal displayed

the sort of nerve required to mount a sustained title challenge when they won 2-1 at Aston Villa on Monday, having seen all of their title rivals win over the previous weekend. Arsenal welcome relegation-threatened Fulham to the Emirates Stadium and manager Arsene Wenger has been eager to play down injury concerns surrounding his side. The Frenchman will be without Theo Walcott, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Thomas Vermaelen, while Nacho Monreal and Nicklas Bendtner are doubtful, but he believes he has enough alternatives. “In midfield we have plenty of quality players who you can rotate easily without really feeling, ‘Today we are weaker,’“ Wenger said. “I would say, purely on the football front, it’s true that we only have excellent players in every position and that allows you to have different types of teams that can really be efficient.” Second-placed Manchester City gave yet another demonstration of their awesome strike power in a 5-0 thrashing of Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup in midweek, which took their goal tally for the season to 99. They will be expected to bring up triple figures at home to third-bottom Cardiff City on Saturday. Liverpool will look to maintain their recent momentum when they host Aston Villa, having responded to successive losses at City and Chelsea over Christmas with back-to-back wins against Hull and Stoke. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has yet to make any

Wellington Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick has made a decision on whether he will start Tyler Boyd ahead of Jeremy Brockie against the Melbourne Victory at the Cake Tin tonight, he just isn’t going to reveal which way he is leaning until today. Throughout this season Merrick has left it to the last minute to name certain players but rather than endure sleepless nights the day before a game agonising over who will play where, the Scotsman said he leaves it late to play possum with the opposition. “I don’t make the choices at the

last minute,” he said. “They’ve been planned and worked on for a while. I just don’t reveal them to the last minute. “I try not to help the opposition too much.” Brockie’s recent goal drought and inability to impose himself on the game must be wearing thin for Merrick, who has said he wants the All Whites striker to come and look for work as a means to break out of his slump. On the other hand, Boyd has looked dynamic coming off the bench in the past three games, collecting a couple of assists and his first goal in Phoenix colours as the 19-year-old

No rule-bending Football Federation Australia have refused to bend the A-League salary cap rules for Brisbane who were hoping for special consideration in a bid to hold on to star striker Besart Berisha. Offcontract at the end of the season, Berisha has already attracted marquee interest from rival clubs Sydney FC and Newcastle, while there is also talk the 28-year-old Albanian international could be headed back to Europe with Italian club Inter Milan rumoured to be circling. All A-League clubs are allowed two marquee spots to be paid outside the salary cap. - AAP

Nichols on the outer Midfielder Mitch Nichols has been left out of Melbourne Victory’s squad to face Wellington tonight as speculation grows Tom Rogic is about to replace him at the A-League club. After injuring his knee during his side’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle last weekend, Nichols did not feature on Tuesday night in the 3-1 win over the Western Sydney Wanderers. However, coach Kevin Muscat confirmed his absence from the squad to face the Phoenix in the New Zealand capital was tactical. “He isn’t injured, we’ve not selected him for tactical reasons,” Muscat said. “I’ve picked a team that I think can get the result.” - AAP

slowly comes to terms with life in the A-League. Boyd didn’t set the competition alight in his rookie campaign last summer but has performed nicely of late and given his high work rate, he must be pressing Merrick to make a tough call and pull Brockie back to the bench. Another wildcard is the recent signing of former national league scoring sensation Roy Krishna, who made his debut for the Phoenix against the Mariners in last Sunday’s 1-1 draw in Wellington, although no opportunities fell the way of the Fiji international in his cameo appearance.

It’s more likely Krishna will be worked in to the mix slowly and Boyd could be given his first start of the season tonight in what may be the only change to the Phoenix from last week. “I’m trying to get some consistency,” Merrick said as he reflected on his squad for tonight’s game. All Whites utility Leo Bertos is a likely candidate to join the bench to give Merrick some flexibility with his substitutes. “His benefit is he can play a range of positions. He can play at forward, he can play in the midfield and he can play at fullback so he is good cover.” - APNZ

Real Madrid can pile the pressure on La Liga leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid by moving into a three-way tie at the top of the table with a win away to struggling Real Betis this weekend. Madrid closed the gap on their title rivals to three points last weekend thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Espanyol, whilst Atletico and Barca played out a 0-0 draw at the Vicente Calderon. All three sides are still competing on three fronts as they progressed into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey in midweek ahead of a return to Champions League action next month. - AFP

Further scans would be taken today. - AFP

Mel very confident West Bromwich Albion’s new head coach Pepe Mel announced his arrival at the English Premier League club by insisting his team will avoid relegation and then challenge for a place in Europe. Mel was appointed as successor to the sacked Steve Clarke last week and the 50-year-old Spaniard outlined his plans for the Baggies at his first media conference yesterday. With Albion out of the FA and League Cups, Mel’s sole task for the remainder of the campaign is to stop his side slumping out of the EPL, with the club three points above the relegation zone. - AFP

Rates expected to hold until March The Reserve Bank and market economists are near agreement that inflation remained tame in the fourth quarter, keeping intact expectations that the official cash rate doesn’t need to rise from a record low until March. The consumers price index fell 0.1 per cent in the final three months of 2013, for an annual rate of 1.5 per cent, according to a Reuters survey of 11

economists. The Reserve Bank forecast a 0.2 per cent decline in the quarter for an annual 1.4 per cent in its December monetary policy statement. The data is due for release on January. 21. Fourth-quarter inflation is typically weak because of a seasonal decline in fruit and vegetable prices. The latest quarter was also characterised by a decline in prices of petrol and diesel, while the trade-weighted

index near a record high has ensured tradables inflation has been non-existent. That means the Reserve Bank’s focus is on strength in non-tradable inflation, especially from a resurgent housing market. “Domestic inflation pressures are gradually re-emerging, but barring a substantial upside surprise in next week’s inflation figures, the Reserve Bank will have time to respond at a meas-

ured pace,” said Michael Gordon, senior economist at Westpac Banking Corp. “Our view is that the CPI figures alone are unlikely to be the catalyst for an early move.” The December MPS forecasts annual inflation to stay below the central bank’s 1 per centto-3 per cent target band until the fourth quarter of 2015 and Westpac’s Gordon says he agrees that headline inflation

will remain subdued over the coming year. That leaves the economy in something of a sweet spot, with gross domestic product expected to grow 2.8 per cent in the year ending March 31, picking up to a 3.1 per cent pace in 2015, according to the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research’s consensus forecasts in December. - APNZ

■ FUEL PRICE RISES CHANGE MARKET

N Rising fuel costs have forced Kiwis to re-evaluate the size of their vehicles with larger, thirstier vehicles falling out favour.

Kiwis ditching gas guzzlers Rising fuel prices have prompted Kiwis to ditch gas guzzlers in favour of smaller vehicles, according to new data from the Motor Trade Association. A review of top-selling models between 2009 and 2013 shows sales were dominated by four-cylinder models. The results of the previous five-year review, carried out in 2011, showed a much wider spread in the most popular types of vehicles. Between 2009 and 2013 Toyota’s Corolla continued to dominate the market, both as a new vehicle and as a use. The only non-four-cylinder model to make it into the top 10, was the 10th placed Holden Commodore, almost entirely on the back of its sales as a new car. “At the start of 2009, 91 octane petrol was selling for roughly $1.63 a litre; by the end of 2013, it was close to $2.20 a litre,” MTA spokesman Ian Stronach said.

“With petrol costs increasing around 35 per cent in that time, it was entirely predictable that there would be a swing to smaller-engined cars. “The major surprise is that traditional favourites, like Subaru’s Legacy and the Commodore have dropped significantly down the order.” The review saw some familiar names drop out of the top 10 altogether, including longtime favourites such as the Ford Falcon, BMW’s 3 Series and Subaru’s Impreza. The fall in relative popularity of “people movers” was also evident with previously favoured models, like Toyota’s Estima/ Lucida and the Honda Odyssey, falling outside the top 10. In some cases, changes in availability of vehicles as used imports from Japan were responsible. “Kiwis continue to have strong bonds with their cars but at the same time, they can be pretty hard-headed about it

TOP 10 SALES Top 10 vehicle models sold 2009-13, combined new and used import sales of passenger and commercial vehicles. Equivalent model for 2006-11 period in brackets. 1 Toyota Corolla (Toyota Corolla) 2 Suzuki Swift (Subaru Legacy) 3 Toyota Vitz/Yaris (Holden Commodore) 4 Mazda Axela/3 (Suzuki Swift) 5 Toyota Hilux (BMW 3 Series) 6 Mazda Atenza/6 (Toyota Estima/Lucida) 7 Mazda Demio/2 (Honda Odyssey) 8 Subaru Legacy (Ford Falcon) 9 Toyota Hiace (Subaru Impreza) 10 Holden Commodore (Nissan Primera)

ew Zealand’s NZX50 sharemarket index has started the year strongly and, as I write, has already increased over 2.5 per cent year to date (January 1-10, 2014). One company which readers are likely to be following closely is Fonterra with recent news creating further headwinds for the company. Looking back over the last quarter, the broadening global growth outlook was generally well received by equity markets, with sharemarkets up by mid-single digits over the December quarter. United States and German markets led advances, while Australasian markets were the laggards. Positive surprises to United States equity earnings announced during November helped, as did improvements in business and investor confidence. Positive German economic data helped European markets. Although global markets have been buoyant, New Zealand equities struggled over the quarter. The weak local performance relative to global markets was a reflection of higher regulatory and political risks, as well as a touch of indigestion post the Government’s sell-down of its Air New Zealand and Meridian stakes. The Australian dollar also increased the risk to New Zealand company earnings, with Australian earnings being potentially impacted by the lower currency translation. The Australian equity market itself was also weak, reflecting

MONEY MATTERS

the subdued domestic economy. Australian September GDP growth disappointed and revealed that private consumption grew by just 0.2 per cent in the September quarter. The mining industry contributed half of the growth in the quarter, but with mining accounting for just 10 per cent of economy, that meant nonmining industries barely grew at all. This led to profit taking across the board. Taking a look at the interest rate market, longer-term interest rates are expected to normalise and continue to drift higher. The prospect now is that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) may act earlier in raising overnight cash rates, with the market now expecting the RBNZ to commence tightening in March 2014 and for shortterm rates to rise to 3.5 per cent by December 2014.

BACK TO SCHOOL Ashburton Learning Centre The advancement from primary or intermediate to secondary school, is a big moment in a teenager’s life. The introduction of a heavier workload and a more structured learning environment is an appetizer for what faces them later in life. However during this time of transition, your child is more likely to be worrying about fitting in, rather than thinking about their future employment. As their parent, there is a lot you can do to help as they progress through their secondary years, to lead them toward a successful future. CHOOSING A PROVIDER As your child has progressed through their primary years, they will have started to show various interests, aptitude and talents. Talk to their teacher about their strengths and weaknesses, and then talk to your child about what they want from their schooling. It’s important to support their passion, while finding the right balance of culture, academia and interests. Other children will have an influence on the performance of your own child, so if they have had a troubled past, it may be in their best interest to consider a fresh start. As Ashburton College is already covered in more detail within this education feature, here are two more options for your future consideration. MOUNT HUTT COLLEGE

It is committed to making the most out of your child’s potential, with encouragement to succeed and by delivering a well-rounded education, based on Christian values. MAKE COMMUNICATION THE NORM, NOT THE EXCEPTION Once your child begins their secondary school education, communication is the key to helping them to make the most out of their potential. It’s normal for your teenager to pull away and crave independence, as they seek to discover who they are, but they will still want your advice and guidance. They will just have a funny way of showing their gratitude. Make it a habit to eat dinner together, and encourage meaningful conversation. Also take the opportunity every now and then to sit down with them, and ask how everything is going. They may or may not open up, but at least they know you are there.

BACK TO SCHOOL Ashburton College ‘INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE

IN A

The most important thing that we do is to grow fine young people. Young people who are academically and personally successful so that they have choices about what they do next; who have the necessary qualities, attributes and skills to contribute to their family, their workplace and their community; and who have attitudes and approaches that enable them to succeed into their future. As a College we consistently seek to extend and provide additional opportunities for our students - be their talents academic, sporting or cultural; and we take great pride in their efforts and successes. Our College has a clear ambition to achieve individual excellence for students, and a focus on providing Exceptional Learning, Exciting Opportunities and Exemplary Citizenship. These three pillars support the core of our Charter and are the drivers that underpin the future di-

SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT’ rections and developments of Ashburton College. Over the last three years we have been considering and reviewing virtually every aspect of the College to see what improvements should be made to ensure we are continuing to develop the ways we meet our Charter requirements. Secondary schools are complex organisations that have to be simultaneously good and engaged in a number of different things including strong business systems and practices, sound management, continuous improvement, playing our part in our district and communities, and ensuring all our students are safe and well so they can focus on learning and achieving. However, first and foremost, is ensuring educational outcomes for our students. Because, regardless of how well the other responsibilities are met, our College only succeeds when our students succeed. “Change” is a constant in our world and none more so than for our young people. The qualifications that were once a ‘passport’ for the rest of your life are now better described as ‘visa’s’. They get you in, but you have to keep learning new things to stay current. On top of this, the speed of progress and new learning means

that day-to-day knowledge and tools are constantly changing. As a result, the expectations of education and on schools are also constantly changing. Schools face the constant duality of both keeping things as consistent and predictable as possible, and making sure that we are also completely up-to-date. Our focus on positive student behaviour and engagement; and the further development of our specialist programmes to support students with specific needs and with identified talents and abilities continues into this year. Over recent years we have also successfully focussed on lifting our College’s achievement in NCEA. This work continues, alongside meeting the Government’s challenge to all schools to have more young New Zealanders achieving NCEA Level 2 before they leave school. We have been developing new courses to better meet student needs and to assist our students to take up the increasing opportunities in the Trades, Agribusiness, and Primary Industries. This was recently profiled on TV One News and these areas will continue to be developed. We are currently working with Aoraki

Polytech, Lincoln University, Grow Mid-Canterbury, Federated Farmers and other partners to put in place new options, courses and study/ career opportunities for Mid-Canterbury’s young people. E-learning opportunities continue to develop and we are now increasing the range of devices and portals for students to use in their day-today classes and e-learning. We have two new mini-buses for the use of classes and teams; our teaching workshops continue to be modernised and we have installed a 3D Printer meaning we are now one of the few New Zealand schools with a CMC Router. This is a computer controlled router/cutter that can perform a wide range of intricate cutting functions ranging from engraving to router shaping. There is a world-wide shortage of people who are trained to programme these machines and our aim is to give our students an employment-edge by teaching them how to do this, and giving them successful experience and expertise that they can take into the workplace. Also in 2014 we will be undertaking detailed planning for our student facilities and the continued refurbishment of classrooms.

In the first part of the year our Board of Trustees will be developing our Strategic Plan for the next 3 to 5 years and will be seeking your ideas and input into this. And, within the College, we will be reviewing our curriculum and courses, looking to what Ashburton College needs to ensure our students’ learning and development during their secondary schooling. At College we benefit from, and work with, a superb set of young people - the vast majority of whom we have total confidence in, in any situation. As your Principal I, and my team, am very aware of the importance of education and success for every student. The future world that our children will be a part of will be very different to what we knew when we left school. We want to ensure that every young person achieves their potential, and we want to look at how our College can work with families to make this happen. I, or any member of our senior staff, would be delighted to meet with you if you want to learn more about Ashburton College and the opportunities our College has available. Grant McMillan Principal

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Weekend or not, with the Sun leaving your career sector on Monday it’s important to keep your professional hat on and your antennas up. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The Sun is encouraging you to make the most of his last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart, keeping your work hat off if you can. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) As the Sun spends his last weekend in your financial sector choose to look at things objectively, keep your eyes open and head out of the sand. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) There is the potential for both a communication and relationship breakthrough this weekend, especially if you keep it real and authentic. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Keep your work and money hats on over the weekend, trusting what a nose for money and clear work objectives are starting to tell you. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) This is a weekend for having fun and taking matters of the heart seriously. With life getting busy, finding a balance between work and play is a must. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) This is a time for putting home and family matters first, while keeping your eyes open and head out of the sand. You can’t change what you can’t see. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s not about saying what you think others need to hear or about expressing what will make you feel better and more about what needs to be said.
