Drug raids likely to hit local suppliers

Recent drug busts in Christchurch could have a significant impact on the supply and use of narcotics in Mid Canterbury.

Local police say raids on manufacturers of synthetic cannabis will have a flow-on effect in the district which will go some way to reducing drugrelated offending.

Canterbury police executed seven search warrants at various locations around Christchurch on Tuesday as part of Operation Mamba.

They seized cash, chemicals in liquid and powder form, and unidentified plant material.

Officer in charge of Ashburton station Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said any raids in Canterbury would

slow down the supply of drugs locally.

“It’s no different than if there’s a big drugs bust or something with methamphetamine in Auckland,” he said.

“That certainly helps dry up the supply in other parts of the country.”

Mr Banfield said about half of the drugs that ended up in Mid Canterbury were supplied from outside the district while the other half were sourced locally.

“We know that domestically there was a lot of stuff being brought down from the North Island, because until last year there was limited search capabilities for police at airports, other than for international travel,” he said.

He believed those involved in criminal activity and the drug trade saw

that as a loophole as they could transport drugs on domestic flights.

“That made it hard for police because we had to have confirmed information before we could get a warrant,” he said.

Reducing drug-related offending has been a big focus for Mid Canterbury police, with last year’s Operation Webster culminating in a series of raids that resulted in 13 arrests.

More recently a nationwide drug operation titled Operation Jasmine saw 2829 cannabis plants seized in Canterbury, with 80 per cent of those recovered from the Mid/South Canterbury area.

Kutcher praises Willis for bullying essay Ashton Kutcher has heaped praise on his former stepdaughter Rumer Willis after reading a hard-hitting essay she wrote about bullying. In the essay for Glamour magazine, the 26-yearold actress and singer detailed her personal struggles with online bullying, and offered others suffering at the hands of tormentors advice on how to overcome the worst. Many readers have applauded Willis for her thoughtful article, including Kutcher. The actor took to Facebook and, alongside a link to an article about Rumer’s inspiring essay, he wrote, “It’s amazing that you’re telling your story and speaking up for other women.” He later tweeted, “Rumer I’m so proud of you. You are an artist of movement.”

In her essay, Willis urged women to be more compassionate towards one another: “We all need to stop bullying ourselves and being cruel to other women. Life’s hard enough as it is. Let’s find strength in the fact that we’re different and unique.”

Kim tweets embarassing mistake Kim Kardashian has blamed a very public spelling mistake on a lack of sleep. The reality star and fashionista posted a tweet pleading with designer brand Giorgio Armani to bring back one of her favourite make-up products. But she managed to misspell the name of the famous designer.

“Why did Georgio Armani discontinue my favourite foundation??? I’m on my last bottle and everyone I know uses this. Please make it again!” Kardashian tweeted. The fashion house, very politely, corrected Kardashian for all of her 32.7 million followers to see. “Dear Kim - let us know which one you need and we’ll send it to you. And Mr. Armani’s first name is Giorgio,” Armani tweeted. Kardashian was full of excuses, blamming her spelling mistake on something that commonly affects expectant mothers. “Thank you so much and my apologies on the spelling error, this expecting Mommy is a tad sleep deprived. ;-)” she tweeted.

Underwear thefts denied A Christchurch man denied being behind a string of underwear thefts from washing lines in the city. Shane Andrew Brady, 44, is accused of stealing women’s underwear off washing lines in the Christchurch suburb of Riccarton. At Christchurch District Court yesterday he received a registrar’s remand without having to appear before a judge. He has indicated not guilty pleas to two counts of burglary and was remanded on bail until July 21 for a case review hearing. Police say investigations are continuing.

Courtney Love fighting to stop Cobain film Courtney Love has been fighting to halt the release of a new film which theorises she helped orchestrate the death of her rocker husband Kurt Cobain.

The Hole frontwoman’s legal team has issued a cease and desist order against cinemas slated to screen controversial new film Soaked in Bleach by director Benjamin Statler. The movie centres around private investigator Tom Grant, hired by Love to find the Nirvana singer who went missing in March, 1994 after he left a substance abuse treatment facility in Los Angeles. Grant recorded many of the conversations he had with Love up until Cobain was found dead the following month, and many of the recordings, along with reenactments, make up the Soaked in Bleach film, which ultimately suggests the rock icon’s death was not a suicide. While Love is hoping to stop Soaked in Bleach from screening, she fully supported director Brett Morgan’s Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck documentary, which premiered in April.

Changes to come into effect

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Changes to the leadership of Ashburton Hospital and rural health services are going ahead, the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) confirmed yesterday.

A proposal that would see Ashburton moved out from the umbrella of Rural Health Services to become a separate entity with its own leadership team, was declared in April, and

the CDHB announced yesterday that it will proceed with the changes.

The new changes mean the current vacant role of general manager for Ashburton and rural health services will be disestablished and a new role of Ashburton health services manager will be created.

The creation of another new role in rural health services, a transition programme manager, will be based in Christchurch

and the proposed finance manager role for rural health services will be modified to include business project management responsibilities. The positions of operations and finance manager for Ashburton and rural health services will be disestablished from July 31.

The main driver for the changes, according to the district health board’s general manager for people and capability Michael Frampton, was

the CDHB’s investment in new facilities, models of care and workforce development, compiled with the need for locally focused and integrated health services in each rural area.

Mr Frampton said yesterday that feedback on the Proposal for Change had been carefully considered and in total 20 responses were received by the DHB. Mr Frampton said while the CDHB did not know what the

outcome of the transition programme would be for each particular community, it had made a commitment to engage with the community, health providers and staff throughout the process.

“We are grateful for the time and effort staff have invested in responding but also want to acknowledge that, like with any change, it will bring uncertainty for some staff more than others,” Mr Frampton said.

Raids to Sewer main upgrade picks up pace hit local drug dealers

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

The Ashburton District Council is literally sending more than $1.9 million of ratepayers’ money down the drain and it’s all in a good cause.

Work has started on replacing the old Ashburton sewer main, a project that will see ageing 400mm concrete pipes replaced with 265, 700mm heavy duty plastic pipes.

It’s a high-tech exercise where nothing is left to chance, said council capital projects manager Viv Eyberg.

■ WEATHER

Mt Hutt to receive a ‘good dumping’ Rain and cold weather will hit Mid Canterbury around midday today, and the change will bring snow to higher levels of the district.

Methven schools have notified parents there is a possibility they will close early, however MetService meteorologists said late yesterday it was too early to call.

MetService meteorologist John Law said the morning’s temperatures of 10 to 11 degrees in Ashburton would drop to seven or eight when the southerly rolled in, and then to four or five around 4 to 5pm.

The majority of snow was expected in Otago and South Canterbury, and it was likely to fall as rain in Methven and

Ashburton, and snow towards the Mid Canterbury foothills and Mt Hutt.

Mt Hutt could receive a “good dumping” of 20 to 40 centimetres from this afternoon to the early hours of Friday morning.

“I think it’s one of those ones to keep a very close eye on the forecast,” Mr Law said.

From P1 That focus on reducing drug offending appears to be working, with drug offences dropping in the Mid/South Canterbury area in recent years.

Illicit drug offences dropped by 8 per cent between 2013 and 2014, from 271 offences to 249.

Last year illicit drug offences had a resolution rate of 95.6 per cent.

Canterbury police Detective Sergeant Richard Quested, who is leading Operation Mamba, said disrupting the supply of synthetic cannabis was one way of preventing the harm illegal drugs caused in the community.

He said synthetic cannabis and other illicit substances caused unpredictable and violent behaviour, which harmed not only the user but also their family and friends.

Dancing 4 Asthma competition raises awareness

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Three keen Dorie School pupils are putting their best feet forward and boogying down, all in the name of asthma.

Ten-year-olds Felicity Pye, Sarah Wilcox and Billie Surridge make up the only group of children from Mid Canterbury to enter Dance 4 Asthma, an awareness-raising competition for school-aged children all over New Zealand.

The competition aims to get kids from primary, intermediate and secondary schools up and moving, while having fun at the same time.

It started in 2012, originally as a way to raise the profile of asthma with teachers and children in schools.

This year nearly 60 schools from all around New Zealand are taking part.

Billie said the group first heard about Dance 4 Asthma from their teacher.

“We just said we’d try it.”

The group has been practising for about a month, each morningtea and lunch, she said.

Their video, in which they jive along to former X-Factor contestant Cameron Rota’s song One of a Kind, needs to be submitted today.

Professional choreographers and dancers will be judging the videos and winners of each section (primary, intermediate and secondary) will receive an iPad for their school. There is also a prize for the video that gets the most views.

ASTHMA: THE FACTS ■ ■

One in seven children in New Zealand take medication for asthma.

Asthma is also responsible for 550,000 lost school days every year.

Asthma a fact of Liam’s life

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.zn

Like many others, New Zealand songwriter and musician Liam Kennedy-Clark, suffers from asthma.

FILE PHOTO 250315 LIAM 02

Acclaimed country music singer and Australian X-Factor contestant Liam Kennedy-Clark has suffered from asthma his whole life.

As a baby he spent time in the hospital after being diagnosed with bronchitis and falling very ill.

“Since then, pretty well up to about three or four years ago, I have been in hospital at least once a year with asthma attacks and brief stabs of pneumonia,” he said.

Liam said like many other asthma sufferers, he has identified his own triggers.

The cold winters combined with Mid

Canterbury’s dry climate weren’t the best for him, but he has also spent time in muggy areas, such as Rotorua, which he found set his asthma off.

However, building up his lung capacity through singing and playing instruments has helped him better manage his asthma.

While Liam doesn’t think he has overcome it quite yet, he is making sure other asthma sufferers know that it’s not something that has to hold you back.

A combination of inhalers and trying to keep lung capacity up is key, he said.

“The challenges make a lot of things harder, but everything is worth doing as much as it is for anyone else.”

■ DISTRICT COUNCIL

House relocation rules tighten

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

Tight rules around relocating houses into the Ashburton District have been put in place to prevent any unpleasant surprises for their potential neighbours.

Residents in Christchurch’s upmarket Travis Country Estate were shocked to find a relocated house had been moved onto an empty section in their neighbourhood.

The house was wooden and older in style and was at odds with the modern, big ticket

homes that would be its neighbours.

The Ashburton District Council has tight rules around relocatable houses that ensures they are compatible with surrounding homes and will have minimum impact on amenity values.

From the planning perspective, relocation of houses is generally pretty straightforward, said council district planning manager Ian Hyde.

“The relocation rules ensure that the buildings are brought

up to a suitable standard once they have been moved while making the process easier for the person wanting to move the house. This has substantially reduced the number of resource consents for relocated houses that we deal with from when we were working under the old plan,” he said.

The council believed that a number of subdivisions (especially the larger ones) had covenants on a section’s title which restricted the ability to relocate a house onto the subdivided lots,

Mr Hyde said.

The number of building consents for relocatables had increased over the past two years on the back of new homes that were built and then transported onto building sites. Consent numbers for new and older homes has grown from 11 in 2011, 21 in 2012, 32 in 2013 to reach 39 last year.

In new subdivisions, the possibility of a relocated home popping up next door is zero says Turton Green developer Mark Douglas.

“That’s part of the covenant when you buy a section in here and I don’t know of any new subdivisions that wouldn’t have that in there,” he said.

Like most subdivisions, a condition of section sale in Turton Green is a sign off from Mr Douglas on a range of conditions around home construction.

That ensures the integrity of a subdivision is maintained and that no houses that are of a lesser standard, such as an older relocated property, can be moved in or built, he said.

Diehard fan buddies up with mascot Wooliam

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Diehard Ashburton footy fan Sam Lambie was the centre of attention at one of the world’s biggest sporting events yesterday.

The nine-year-old had all eyes on him as he walked around the pitch with Fifa U-20 World Cup mascot Wooliam at the half time break at yesterday’s semi-final between Brazil and Senegal in Christchurch.

The keen footballer scored the role after taking out second place in a nationwide Kia Motors competition.

The Kia Mascot Mates promotion saw over 400 children between the ages of eight and 12 from around the country competing for the chance to buddy up with a mascot at one of the tournament’s 52 matches.

Over 158,000 votes were cast, with Sam just missing out on the top spot.

However second place was enough to earn him the job at the South Island’s biggest game of the tournament.

Sam’s mother, Rebecca Lambie, said her son also received a slew of prizes including a full football kit.

“It’s just awesome, he can’t wait,” she said.

The lucky family did especially well in the competition, with big brother Tom also getting to take to the pitch with Wooliam at the Germany vs Nigeria match on June 11.

Frustrations over water management Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

It took months to prepare a submission for Environment Canterbury’s hearing on Hinds-Hekeao Plains plan for fresh water management, and minutes to submit – then it was all over for Michael Salvensen.

Mr Salvensen was first up when the hearing on Variation 2 – covering the Hinds plains catchment, kicked off, before hearing commissioners David Sheppard, Raewyn Solomon and Rob van Voorthuysen in Lincoln on Tuesday.

He spoke for less than 10 minutes.

“They (the commissioners) asked me one question about my submission – I don’t know whether they agreed with everything I said, or disagreed with everything I said.”

Mr Salvensen, who farms on Wakare Station above Mt Somers, appeared on behalf of the Upper Hinds Plains Users Group (UHPLUG), who argue their situation differs to those lower down in the catchment.

One of those points of difference is the use of nutrients. The lower part of the catchment flagged as an environmental red zone under the proposed Land and Water Regional Plan, due to concerns over excessive nutrient runoff and the over allocation of water for irrigation purposes.

Variation 2 proposes capping the discharges of nitrogen at 114 tonnes of nitrogen per year across the entire upper Hinds catchment and UHPLUG mem-

bers think this is unworkable.

“That’s their best estimate on what they’ve done and we have to question some of the methodology that’s been used. We haven’t had the opportunity to question how they’ve estimated those figures,” Mr Salvensen said.

“It’s an average across the whole catchment – not many farms fall within the whole catchment, most fall part inside and part outside the boundaries. They haven’t explained in detail how those farms will manage across different areas.

“I expect they will expect them to comply with both plans but I’m not sure how that’s feasible, whether they do it on a pro rata basis or not, or if that leaves them not qualifying in one section or another – so there’s complications there.”

“Not each farm in the upper plains has the same mix of hill and cultivated land, therefore you would automatically expect different types of emissions. If those without hills converted the 114t it would make it 10t a hectare, which is blatantly unfair, but ECan doesn’t seem interested in discussing that.”

Mr Salvensen was also critical of the consultation process. He said no one from either ECan or the Ashburton Zone Committee had visited the area to see how the land lies.

“There’s only 12 farmers up here – it doesn’t seem to matter to them, but to us it’s quite important. It’s about engagement – they say they’ve done it but we would question that.”

The civil engineer behind the Canterbury Television building which collapsed in the killer 2011 Christchurch earthquake has been cleared of misleading New Zealand’s professional engineering body. The Institution of Professional Engineers (Ipenz) lodged a complaint in December 2012 against Dr Alan Reay of Christchurch design firm Alan Reay Consultants which was responsible for the six-storey Christchurch office block which collapsed in the February 22, 2011 earthquake, claiming 115 lives.

Roll-up, roll-up - New Zealand’s only Kiwi owner-operated circus is in town.

A group of about 10, including six performers, arrived in Ashburton on Tuesday, and are setting up their site at the Ashburton Domain, ready for their first show tomorrow night.

Circus Aotearoa performers include Methven’s Scott Mackenzie, aka Scotty Sparkles, a law graduate who joined at the beginning of the show’s annual nationwide tour late last year.

Damian Gordon, who is the ringmaster, as well as a clown and juggler, runs the circus in conjunction with his brother Paddy and wife Irene, an aerialist.

Mr Gordon said he and Irene both had circus backgrounds, having worked for the iconic Whirling Brothers, and well remember the days of having lions and elephants as fellow performers.

“It’s kind of nice for me to come from the real trad to this modern style that we do now,” Mr Gordon said.

Establishing and operating Circus Aotearoa, which had been going seven years, was a real family affair.

The couple’s 19-year-old son Matthias was today one of the performers and soon planned to go to Europe to develop his circus career.

Their daughter, who was at home with Irene in the North Island while she was completing high school, also did some performance, her skill being hula hoop and tissues.

Mr Gordon had joined Whirling Brothers after taking to street performing in his 30s.

He had told his career guidance teachers in high school he wanted to do clowning. “They said ‘You are wasting our time’.”

“It’s not glamorous, and you are not going to get rich.

“Travelling and living in a caravan is not for everyone,” he said.

But the joy of performance gets into your blood, and most performers each year get a tattoo of the Circus Aotearoa emblem scrolls to express that.

The circus is on 7pm tomorrow, Saturday 2pm and 7pm and Sunday 2pm.

Choirs captivate audience on second night I had the pleasure of attending the 2015 Heartland Bank Schools Music Festival last night.

The children have been practising since March this year, and after fine tuning this week, they produced a performance to captivate an auditorium full of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers and others, all brimming with pride at the sounds of their children singing their little hearts out.

The evening had many highlights with the jiggling jive to the Summertime Blues by Hampstead, the instruments used in Samba Lele by Fairton, the cute whistling faces of Rakaia, the beautiful harmony produced by Ashburton Borough and the imaginative visual lights used in Inch Worm by Hinds.

I believe song choice is the key and the massed choir conductors came up with a great mixture this year from The Muppets theme, to more modern songs like Roar, which the children obviously enjoyed by the smiling faces and energy radiating from the stage.

I especially enjoyed the unaccompanied ending to Fireflies and the beautiful harmony in Defying Gravity.

Anna Lischner, Kerrin Lester, and Fiona Maw you are to be congratulated for capably leading the children in the massed choir performances The special guests last night were the Ashburton College Phoenix Choir, “wow”, if Jo Castelow and her choir of angels doesn’t inspire the children to continue singing on the big stage, I don’t

think anything would.

A beautiful rendition of Summer Time sent tingles down my spine, the upbeat Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy had my toes tapping and was a great way to wrap up their performance with a tastefully choreographed number Raining Men. And last but certainly not least the newly named representative choir – a choir of selected singers from all the schools involved in the festival giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents together.

I believe song choice is the key and the massed choir conductors came up with a great mixture this year.

Elaine Vallender always manages to get the best out of these children and as usual perfect diction.

I have to make a special mention of the soloists Harry McMillan and the beautiful voice of Savannah Martin, without a doubt a name to watch in the future, This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to gain confidence on the big stage and utilise the wonderful asset we have in Mid Canterbury; the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

I encourage anyone who has never been part of the Heartland Bank Schools Music Festival, they should definitely be part of it next year.

OUR VIEW

Police drug crackdown takes effect Stu Oldham

EDITOR

P

olice action targeting drugs and organised criminals in Christchurch will make it harder for the peddlers of misery and despair to do business in Ashburton.

Mid Canterbury police have enjoyed considerable success in recent months with a series of drug-related operations putting the frighteners on local dealers.

The latest push started about this time last year, when several properties were raided and more than a dozen people arrested as part of Operation Webster.

Some of the raids were publicised with footpath signs proclaiming “Drugs will no longer be sold from this house”. A year on, more houses are on the list.

The momentum of those raids continued with the likes of Operation Jasmine, in which 80 per cent of nearly 2900 cannabis plants seized were found in Mid/ South Canterbury.

The two month-long Operation Focus targeted drugs and organised crime, and police are optimistic it has dented the confidence of those who sell drugs in our district.

This week, Operation Mamba closed the noose around the alleged manufacturers and suppliers of illegal synthetic drugs in Christchurch, and its effects will be felt here.

This is good news for communities that are sick and tired of the drama and damage that comes with each new wave of organised crime, drug supply and addiction.

A quick scan of the Guardian’s court pages shows how many people steal from their neighbours to finance their habit or to pay for their part in nefarious activities.

Equally, a morning in the district court helps identify how many people will be prepared to keep doing what they (allegedly) did if the focus shifted to other crime.

District police resolved more than 95 per cent of the 249 drug offences they investigated last year. At the same time, offenders were encouraged into drug and alcohol programmes, and have been helped to access mental health services.

Meanwhile, people are keeping an eye on activities they do not want in their neighbourhoods.

From Rangitata to Christchurch, the all-of-community response is making a difference.

YOUR VIEW Ethel S. Jones I was interested to read the article by local historian Margaret Bean, about the artist Ethel S. Jones, who lived in Ashburton from 1887 to 1905 (Ashburton’s lost art, Heritage page, June 16).

I was rather surprised to read that “There are no examples of her work in Ashburton”. Actually, the Ashburton District Council owns six framed works

by Ethel Jones.

Two are large oil paintings of old cottages, Hunts’ Cottage and Sod House, which was painted in 1900.

The council also has watercolour drawings from 1901, entitled Rakaia Gorge and Mid Canterbury Rivers, no doubt products of the adventurous sketching trip Margaret describes in her article. Early Ashburton Scenes 1904, and Ashburton Under Snow 1905 are the other items.

I don’t know how the Ashburton Borough Council came to own these works, perhaps some of your readers can fill in this

CRUMB

part of their history? The watercolours were framed by A. L. Schroeder, The Triangle, presumably especially for hanging in the then new library, opened in September 1967.

Ashburton Library manager Jill Watson

Disappointed I am a strong JAB supporter and I am writing to state how unhappy I was that the Ashburton Guardian did not publish the names of the kids that made the Town and Country teams this year in the Guardian.

Yes the teams’ draws were published but not the names of the kids that made the teams, this is a huge achievement for these children and seeing [their] names published is a huge thing for them and also lets families know that their child made the team.

Yes it may be on Facebook pages or on the Mid Canterbury Rugby page but what about those who do not have access to the internet. For example grandparents or other

family members.

Pedestrian problems My husband and I have recently moved to Ashburton temporarily from the United States and have noticed a very disturbing trend; the majority of drivers give NO regard to pedestrians.

After almost being ‘run down’ in the middle of a raised and marked pedestrian crosswalk this morning in front of the clinic my husband works at, the driver pulled to the side of the road and proceeded to jump out of her vehicle and began yelling at me that I should not cross in a pedestrian crosswalk if she wanted to drive through it, she told me in a very rude manner

that I was in the wrong and I should have waited for her.

She was one block away from me when I began crossing and I did not realise her speed was so fast (also right during the time of day children are everywhere for classes to begin at the school across the street) that she would ever get to the crosswalk so quickly.

I/we do not understand why the majority of New Zealand drivers are so discourteous and have such a total and complete disregard for anything outside of their vehicles.

Something about this is so terribly wrong on so many levels. This is such uncivilised behaviour and it’s mind boggling that this is the obvious ‘standard of conduct’ here.

Perhaps you could include in your local paper the consequences of a driver vs. pedestrian collision. The pedestrian will always lose.

People should be courteous and respectful, even when they drive a vehicle.

Magna Carta - a reflection A

s many will be well aware, Monday, June 15 2015, at about 1.15pm our time – as close as can be reckoned – was the moment, 800 years ago, when that great founding document of the democracy we hold so dear, the Magna Carta (MC), was – reluctantly, it must be said, signed by “Bad” King John, at Runnymede on the banks of the Thames.

Yes, it was on June 15, 1215 that “democratic freedom” made its first faltering steps into a world hitherto dominated by the casual brutality of barons and their feudal excesses.

Even now, and despite a number of changes to that mighty charter over years following, its influence is still felt throughout the, mainly, Western World.

Only last week, for example, a clause from it was quoted in court during another land issue involving the Auckland Council.

So King John may well have

tem has now reached its use-by date is a matter of debate but it is a fact, with the 21st century now well established, “people” are looking at possible alternative forms of rule and sovereignty which may bring further change to the way we look at the world and how we run it.

Already, we have an election system in this country that incorporates the appointment rather than the open election of some representatives - via the list seat – which is a direct contradiction of democracy in its purest form, the essence of which has always been the “free vote” by which the governed choose their leaders.

And the struggle to establish that right, for “all” to have a real hand in selecting those leaders via the ballot box, not least women, has been the emotive stuff of political history.

Some commentators now go so far as to characterise such a significant amendment to our voting procedure as one step along the road to dictatorship.

I am not quite of that camp

objected to having his wings clipped by a bevy of bumptious barons and they may only have had their own interests at heart but the winners in the centuries since have been us, “the little people”. (Unless, of course, you have baronial ancestry and still object to sharing your inheritance with the hoy polloi!)

Our Bill of Rights, for instance, is a direct descendant of the MC as are the very parliaments themselves by which many millions of world citizens are now governed.

Sadly, it does not guarantee corruption and cruelty-free government but where such Parliaments have been carefully nurtured much popular progress has been observed.

but tampering with the quasi sacred “free vote” should be avoided. Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) may give a warm fuzzy feeling of democracy at work but its substantial proportion of non-elected seats will always give the lie to that.

As others wiser than I have pointed out over the years, it might be a better thing we do by our children by emphasising to them the objective merits of Magna Carta rather than the divisive influence of the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Magna Carta takes no sides. Under it we are all, basically “equal”. It encompasses the innate Rights and Freedoms of every man, woman and child on the planet, however patchy that coverage may be.

“The Treaty”, on the other hand, continues to preach “us” and “them” with the inevitable, simmering antagonism that such an attitude creates.

After 800 years, one hopes the Magna Carta is here to stay.

Balcony collapse kills six A group of Irish and IrishAmerican young men and women were enjoying their last blast summer in California before cracking down with college and careers, a rite of passage tens of thousands from the Emerald Isle have taken over the past five decades.

At a 21st birthday party early yesterday morning, a fifth floor balcony broke loose from a stucco apartment house, tossing 13 people about 50 feet onto the pavement and stealing those adventures. Six people were killed and seven seriously injured.

“For many of my countrymen this is a favourite experience and to have this happen at the start of the season has left us frozen in shock,” said Ireland’s San Francisco-based Consul General Philip Grant.

“My heart breaks for the parents,” said Prime Minister Enda Kenny from Dublin.

Word of the tragedy spread quickly back to Ireland, and phone lines lit up as panicked parents called to check on their kids throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

The dead were identified as Ashley Donohoe, 22, of Rohnert Park, California, and Ireland’s Olivia Burke, Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai Schuster, Lorcan Miller and Eimear Walsh. The Irish students attended various colleges in Dublin.

Sam McCarthy, 21, who was not at the party, said his mother, who called at 4am, was reas-

Shelling kills 18 Syria’s state news agency and opposition activists say shelling in and around the capital has killed at least 18 people. Syria’s state-run SANA news agency says two shells struck Arnous Park in Damascus late Tuesday as many people were out shopping ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, expected to begin Thursday. It says the shells killed nine people and wounded 13. The shelling came after government forces fired rockets into the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Douma. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Wednesday that the government fired Iranian-made “elephant” rockets on Douma, killing nine people, including two children and six women.

sured to know he and the fraternity houseful of 30 co-ed Irish and American roommates was safe.

McCarthy said he was shocked by the news, and had come for a fun, independent summer.

“I thought it would be a cool experience,” said McCarthy, who works at Bay City Bike Rentals and Tours in San Francisco.

Police had received a complaint about a loud party in the

apartment about an hour before the mishap but were still on a different call when the metalrail balcony gave way just after 12.30am. It landed on the fourth-floor balcony just beneath it, leaving the pavement strewn with rubble and the red plastic cups that are standard at college parties.

The US government’s J-1 programme brings 100,000 college students to this country every year, many of them landing jobs at resorts, summer

camps and other attractions.

The San Francisco Bay area is especially popular with Irish students, about 700 of whom are working and playing here this summer, according to Ireland’s Philip Grant. Many work at Fisherman’s Wharf and other tourist sites.

Investigators will look at such things as whether the balcony was built to code, whether it was overloaded and whether rain or other weather weakened it.

Jeb Bush ‘slow jams’ Tonight show Republican Jeb Bush “slow jammed” the news, told about meeting his wife, offered a guacamole recipe and oddly compared his presidential father and brother during a Tonight show appearance.

One day after announcing his bid for the presidency, Bush entered the entertainment world on the nation’s most popular late-night talk show. Americans don’t expect their presidents to be song-and-dance entertainers, but they at least expect them to appear comfortable and quick-witted opposite television hosts.

Bush was featured Tuesday night on the show’s recurring “slow jam the news” skit with host Jimmy Fallon. The job required Bush to recite lines about his candidacy while Fallon, stylized as a 1970s soul

In brief

Jeb Bush

man and backed by the Roots, offered a series of double entendres. Bush took the straight man role that was most often filled by NBC’s suspended anchorman, Brian Williams.

When “soul man” Fallon

asked about immigration, Bush gave his answer in both English and Spanish.

“Whoa, hold the telefono,” Fallon said. “I know you just got back from Miami, but I didn’t realize I was interviewing Gov. Pitbull,” he said, referencing the Miami-born rapper.

Later, an interview with Bush was sandwiched in between appearances by comic Billy Crystal and rock singer Courtney Barnett.

Fallon brought up the time Bush’s mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, made a comment about having enough Bushes in the White House. Jeb recalled watching the interview.

“She did it without telling me,” he said. “Thanks, mom.

She’s coming around, thankfully.”

Asked by Fallon about how

he differentiates himself from his father and sibling George W. Bush, Jeb Bush said that former President George H.W. Bush “is the most perfect man I’ve ever met.”

“My brother, I would say, is a significantly better artist than I am,” he said.

Bush talked about meeting his wife when he was in Mexico helping to build homes. He knew little Spanish at the time and she didn’t know English, but “when you’re in love you can overcome these problems pretty quickly,” he said.

In a sense, the appearance was a meeting between two rookies. Bush is new to the national stage, and Fallon is getting ready for his first presidential campaign as a late-night comic without the likes of David Letterman and Jon Stewart. - AP

British officials report an increase in human trafficking into Britain, with many victims arriving from Nigeria and being forced into domestic slavery or prostitution.

Official figures show more than 2000 suspected trafficking victims were reported to authorities in 2014 including 244 from Nigeria.

This represents a 31 per cent increase in Nigerian victims compared to the previous year.

Kevin Hyland, Britain’s anti-slavery commissioner, told the BBC the actual figures are much higher.

He says many are lured into Britain with false promises and then stripped of their identity documents and made to work as domestic cleaners or sex workers.

Search expanded State police plan to expand the search for two escaped murderers beyond a 41-square-kilometre area of woods, fields and swamps where the manhunt has been most intense, even as rainy weather hampers their progress. Clinton County Sheriff David Favro said that rain has been washing away any scent dogs might find and interfering with thermal imaging devices being used to detect body heat. No vehicles were reported stolen in the area, which led searchers to believe convicts David Sweat and Richard Matt were still near the prison. The more than 800 law enforcement officers have been combing the rural area since the two escaped June 6 from the maximum-security prison near the Canadian border.

Fifa probe Swiss banks have noted 53 possible money-laundering incidents in the investigation of Fifa’s 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contests, the country’s attorney-general said yesterday. Michael Lauber said the “suspicious bank relations” were reported within the framework of Switzerland’s anti-money laundering regulations. Lauber said he “does not exclude” interviewing Fifa President Sepp Blatter and secretary-general Jerome Valcke in the future, though neither are currently under suspicion.

Addressing the media for the first time since the Swiss investigation into Fifa was announced three weeks ago, Lauber said the case is “huge and complex.”

NZ in clear as 1200 jobs axed

Chief executive of Woolworths Australia Grant O’Brien announced he is stepping down from the supermarket giant, as are 1200 unwitting staff members.

warned its full year profit would be around AU$300 million lower than a year ago due to weak sales growth and AU$270 million in transformation costs.

It now expects to post a full year profit of AU$2.15 billion, down from AU$2.45 billion last year.

O’Brien, who has been chief executive since October 2011,

said he told chairman Ralph Waters he would retire pending the appointment of a replacement.

“The recent performance has been disappointing and below expectations,” O’Brien said in a statement yesterday.

“I believe it is in the best interests of the company for new leadership to see these plans to

fruition. “I approached the chairman and expressed to him that I am committed to a smooth transition to a new CEO and wanted to give the board sufficient time to consider its options.”

Woolworths has launched a global search for a successor.

Mr O’Brien said there had been no improvement in Woolworths’ performance in recent months despite a $500 million programme to cut costs, lower prices and improve service for customers.

Comparable sales were up just 0.7 per cent in May and June.

By comparison, rival Coles lifted comparable sales 3.8 per cent in its most recent quarter.

Woolworths has endured several years of sliding sales growth due to intense competition from Coles and no frills German retailer Aldi.

Mr O’Brien said the company was on track to beat its target of $500 million in savings and said the supermarket’s prices

Dairy farm prices ease - REINZ

BY JAMIE GRAY Dairy farm prices eased in the three months to May, the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand said in its latest rural report.

For the three months to May, the median sale price per hectare for dairy farms was $35,281 compared with $38,802 for the three months to April and $33,543 for the three months to May 2014.

Included sales data for the month of May were 23 dairy farms, which sold at a median value of $35,759 a hectare.

The REINZ Dairy Farm Price index fell by 4.3 per cent in the three months to May compared with the three months to April.

Compared with May 2014, the index was up by 11.1 per cent.

Across all farms, there were 62 fewer farm sales in the three months to May compared with the same three months of last

year, REINZ said.

The median price per hectare for all farms sold in the three months was $28,563 compared with $25,018 in the same three months of last year - a 14.2 per cent improvement.

The institute’s All Farm Price Index rose by 3.6 per cent in the three months to May, compared with the three months to April, and was up 4.6 per cent compared with the same period last year.

The primary income balance, which measures returns to foreign owners of businesses in New Zealand and offshore earnings from New Zealandowned companies, narrowed to about $2.3 billion, the smallest since the third quarter of 2013.

Foreign companies paid fewer dividends to their overseas shareholders and New Zealand-owned companies earned higher profit overseas, the government statistician said.

New Zealand’s net foreign liabilities fell to 64.2 per cent to GDP, or $153.5 billion, from 65 per cent of GDP, or $154.6 billion, three months earlier.

Woolworths chief executive Grant O’Brien has announced his departure from the supermarket giant as the retailer downgraded its profit guidance and announced it would axe 1200 jobs.

O’Brien said he was stepping down from the Australian supermarket chain after less than four years in his position following a “disappointing” performance from the retailer, which is under pressure from rivals Coles and Aldi.

Woolworths is the parent company of New Zealand supermarket operator Countdown.

But a Countdown spokesman said the job cuts were confined to Woolworths and would not affect New Zealand.

Woolworths also said its efforts to turnaround its flagging performance and cut costs would see around 1200 jobs go, up from the 400 job losses announced in May. The supermarket chain also

■ FARMSTRONG INITIATIVE

Helping farmers to cope wit

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.p@theguardiaN.co.Nz

New mental health initiative Farmstrong is bringing a Healthy Thinking two-day workshop to Canterbury in July.

The workshops will be hosted by Dr Tom Mulholland on July 21-22 who will talk to farmers about putting simple strategies in place to help deal with the ups and downs of their business. A venue has yet to be announced.

Dr Mulholland aims to help farmers cope with stressful situations.

“We can’t control things like dairy pay-outs and the weather for example, but what we can control is what’s between our ears and how we respond.

If we have the right emotional skills to manage these issues then we can improve productivity, waste less time and have more fun.”

Launched at the beginning of June, Farmstrong aims to shift the focus on mental health in rural communities from illness and depression to one of wellbeing.

The joint initiative between rural insurer FMG and the Mental Health Foundation has had an immediate impact in rural communities and was a popular site at the recent Mystery Creek

National Agricultural Fieldays.

Farmstrong spokesperson Gerard Vaughan said feedback from farmers during the event was overwhelmingly positive.

Mr Vaughan said it had been “incredibly humbling” to hear positive comments from farmers.

“It shows we’re on the right track to achieving our overall aim of making a positive difference to the lives of farmers and growers across the country.”

High profile guests and supporters to the Farmstrong site included Prime Minister John Key and Primary Industries minister Nathan Guy. The Fit 4 Farming nationwide cycle tour was also launched at the fieldays.

The tour will begin in March next year and will stop in Ashburton. In the meantime farmers are being urged to make a commitment and get active by pledging kilometres to walk, run or cycle to help reach a collective target of four million kilometres by the end of the cycle tour.

“We were inundated with people who wanted to know more, who wanted to pledge kilometres, who wanted to get involved, or just tell us they fully supported the positive approach we’re taking, Mr Vaughan said.”

Prime Minister John Key lends a supportive ear to the new Farmstrong mental health National Fieldays.

South Canterbury arable farmers still tick

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.p@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Grain is still moving in South Canterbury despite the decreased dairy demand but into different markets, according to a PGG Wrightson arable agent.

Timaru-based agent Mark Currie said while the dairy industry has taken a lot of free wheat in previous years, this year much of the excess would be taken up by opportunities in stock feed manufacturing.

“There will still be grain going into the

dairy market. Dairy farmers won’t buy as much but they won’t stop feeding grain.”

Mr Currie said the wheat contract price decreases have been disappointing.

“Generally prices are back $50 a tonne on where they would have been.”

However, the wheat market always had ups and downs – much of it related to world market.

“But a lot of it is supply and demand – still have a milling industry.”

Looking ahead, the forecast for the Nor

Mini-Cooper 5 Door Hatch

Motoring Thursday, June 18, 2015

■ MINI COOPER 5 DOOR HATCH

New Mini has big attitude Roger Hart ROAD TEST

P

racticality, performance, fiscal responsibility and the ability to deliver wide grins! That’s what this new Mini Cooper, 5 door hatch has showed it has.

The practicality arising through BMW’s continual reinvention of this iconic Mini and their desire to widen its market share. To do this they appreciated that three-door cars don’t appeal for family use or the school run, so created the five-door.

But even with its extra doors it’s still very much a Mini. For these and its extra length certainly don’t noticeably change or compromise either its attitude or classy looks.

The result, a practical, compact everyday family car complete with a definitely usable rear seat with decent leg and footspace for two adults or three kids (the smallest in the centre).

The front seats are snug and retentive.

From these you note the dash presentation remains pure Mini, complete with retro cues, toggle switches (including a red one for start up) and large circular dials. The latter complete with a palette of colours that reflect the car’s or driver’s mood or their personality.

It’s all nicely presented and finished, while the retro look mixes in nicely with the high-tech stuff, which includes a useful head-up display, the info you can scroll through on the large centre screen, including the driver’s manual, and power, torque and turbo boost pressure. The LED ambient lighting is another nice touch.

Then sitting by the gear lever is a more simple version of BMW’s iDrive, with centralised controls for sound, climate air, phone etc. There’s rear parking sensors, but no reversing camera.

Performance wise, under the bonnet there’s a three-cylinder 1.5-litre “twin

power” turbo petrol. With 100kW and 220Nm (which is more than some 2-litre engines) and with the maximum torque on hand from 1250rpm there’s plenty of power for this 1220kg car.

I really like this engine, who’s delivery, and also its soft growl when provoked, really suit the Mini’s character.

Not that you need to provoke it for everyday driving for it’s strong right through.

And ideally suited to the 6-speed manual of the test car. With its light, direct shifts and close ratios, changing up and down is a real pleasure. So it’s very easy to keep the engine in its sweetest spot.

(There’s also an indicator on the dash suggesting changes up or down).

All of which means this Mini is an effortless performer, with a claimed 0-100kmh in 8.2 seconds and a 207km/h top speed.

While in the fiscally responsible stakes, the stated overall fuel use is 4.6L/100km, I saw the higher sixes while in Sport mode (refer below).

On the road the five-door has a similar

sporty attitude to its three-door sibling. Which means at all times it’s well proven dynamics emphasise the “gokart” feel, complete with its very direct steering and precise, decisive, cornering; backed by the grippy 175/65 R15 tyres.

But for the widest of grins, choose the afore mentioned Sport mode on the drive selector at the base of the gear lever.

There’s two other choices, Green (for the ultra fiscally responsible) and Mid. All three adjust the accelerator, steering and suspension to suit the driver.

In typically German fashion, Sport which certainly suits the Mini’s character, means what it says! And even brings up a maximum go-kart feel graphic on the central screen.

The ride is sportingly comfortable and you do feel unavoidable potholes at low speeds.

The boot holds 278 litres, but as the Mini is on run-flat tyres there’s no spare, so there’s further space for storage under the removable boot floor. Fold the rear seats down and you can apparently stash 719 litres.

FINALE This neat looking, five-door Mini was fun and rewarding to drive. In keeping with the name, it’s always going to be compact, but the extra doors and being a little longer give it genuinely usable space, and convenience within its distinctive interior.

Ashburton Celtic Netball Club Ashburton Celtic Netball would like to thank all our sponsors who have kindly contributed to our club this year. VetEnt, The Somerset Grocer, Bus and Truck Bodywork Ltd, Ashburton New World, Ashburton Signs and Graphics and the Celtic Killer Bzzzz are the businesses and people that have kept our club running and we appreciate everything they have done for us.

With only 2 games left in the second round there is a lot at stake as teams try to gain as many points as they can so that they enter the final championship round in the highest grade they can. We have had another week of wins with Celtic B having a great win as did Celtic Green and Somerset Grocer Celtic C. Both Celtic D and the U18 team also have great wins and even though VetEnt Celtic A had a hard loss to College they are still in the game as they are guaranteed a spot in the premier grade for the championship round. Celtic social are still aiming to get their first win but they are getting closer and closer each week!

It has been great seeing the support out there for all the teams at the new stadium and want to continue that support over the next round so get down to the stadium and support the teams.

Looking forward to seeing a few people out at the club rooms this weekend so come on out and enjoy the atmosphere!

Ashburton Indoor Bowls Wow, what a week it’s been on the mats.

Firstly, congratulations to everyone who made the trek down to Timaru to compete in the National Championships.

Ashburton was proudly represented in every event and as more and more success falls the way of our bowlers so does the respect from other regions around New Zealand.

Ashburton has worked had to leave the title of being Canterbury’s poor cousin in major events and results over the past few years would suggest that we are now just as feared, if not even lightly more feared, than our neighbours down the road so well done all!

Also congratulations to all the Ashburton players who competed in the Academy and Masters Events during the week – results didn’t quite fall the favoured way but you all represented your island and district proud.

A final well done from nationals week to Mike Lawson, Grant Wilson and Matt Markham on being named in the South Island side which will tour the upper North Island in August and also to Mat Bassett who has been named reserve in the men’s side.

On Sunday the open championship fours were held and for the first time the competition was held as a round robin as opposed to qualifying.

Michael Lawson, Ken Mackenzie, Jimmy Stewart and Rowena Mackenzie

Thursday, June 18, 2015 emerged the winners on a countback giving Rowena and Jimmy their gold stars and Ken his 20th title – well done!

Enjoy the week ahead.

Trevor Gamblin presented a fruit tray and proposed a vote of thanks.

The raffle was drawn and prizes distributed.

Toasts to guests and dignitaries present and to Lions International were then given and replied to before Lion John Davis offered Grace for the meal provided by the Carew Peel Forest School PTA.

North

Ashburton Bridge Club Timing is crucial to the successful play of this hand which occurred recently in club play.

With North’s 20 high card point hand, N/S quickly establish their Spade fit and should bid at least to game contract, 4 Spades.

Some may bid the small slam, 6 spades needing 12 tricks. Of course 6 Clubs is also gettable, but Spades generate a higher score.

If South is declarer, West may well lead his singleton Club, won in dummy.

Now comes the defining moment of declarer’s play – if he comes to his hand with the Diamond A so as to finesse towards the Spade A,Q,J,6 he must first play the Diamond K, dropping the Heart 9 from North leaving the Heart A bare. But look what happens when the finesse against the Spade K loses – back comes a club, ruffed by West’s little Spade, and, if in 6 Spades, the contract is one down.

Where did it all go wrong? Declarer must endeavour to eliminate West’s Spades before losing to the Spade K. His first play of trumps must be the Spade A, followed by the Q or J, which loses to the K, but West now has no trump with which to ruff the club return.

OK you say! What if a Heart is the opening

Social and that he was instrumental in getting started the highly successful Longbeach Coastal Challenge Bike Race.

Colin’s wife Ann received a gift of flowers from the President’s wife Jane Ellis.

DG Graham Edge then inducted new President David Keeley and his Board for the forthcoming year and after President David’s acceptance speech, this very enjoyable evening closed with Lion Tamers Stuart Wilson and Dave Thomson extracting fines from members, wives and guests for some highly dubious indiscretions.

Mid Canterbury Ladies Probus Club President Avis Kingsland welcomed members to the June meeting of the Mid Canterbury Ladies Probus Club. Members stood as a mark of respect for the passing of Relda Kircher. A new member, Joy was inducted into the membership. Bernie Tutty gave a report on the successful trip to Aeroview. The Mini Speaker was Heather Mowatt who told of the importance of keeping emergency information in your handbag, accidents can happen and this information could be needed quickly.

The main speaker was Deidre Moses who told of the Fruit Fund, a project she had established. Her belief is that a lot of people are losing life skills in the busy life style that we lead. A restaurant is very helpful in cooking apples and keeping them in a freezer until such time as they are needed. Rae Magson thanked the

Mid Canterbury Men’s Probus Over 90 members were in attendance at our June meeting. Don Hopwood reported on the club’s bus trip in late May when 35 members and 8 wives toured the Christchurch CBD and Red Zone in the Eastern Suburbs. A walk through the restored Knox Church was a highlight for many.

Our Mini Speaker was Bruce Welsh who talked of his career, firstly as a Clerk with Ashburton County Council and later with an Ashburton engineering firm. Bruce was also a champion mid-distance athlete in his younger days, competing against Olympians Peter Snell and John Davies.

The guest speaker was Mark Slee, a successful local dairy farmer and winner of the Balance Environmental Award. This won him a study tour to the U.K. and Europe. He described the dairying methods in these countries in comparison with New Zealand. He also illustrated the challenges now facing the industry here, namely being sustainable, environmentally responsible and profitable.

After the speaker was thanked by Murray Anderson, President Allan concluded the meeting.

Rakaia Garden Club On Monday June 8, there was a good turnout of members at the Rakaia Railway Tavern for the Rakaia Garden Club’s AGM. The retiring president, Gail Schat read out a very good report reminding us of the interesting previous year’s speakers and outings.

The meeting concluded with members catching up with one another, while enjoying a very fine smorgasbord put on by the Tavern. Next meeting Monday July 13 at 2pm. Speaker Topic – Alpines.

A newsletter from Federation was read and discussed. We took some time while having our coffee and cake, to discuss the Quizco and Eisteddfod. It all comes up very fast.

Val then told us of her trip to the Sunshine and Gold Coast. She had only arrived home in the early hours with some very nice “bling.” Barbara thanked Val and we slowly got into our cars and headed home.

Hinds The May meeting of the Hinds WI saw 14 members in attendance. Rosa Bennett the President led in the Ode and Aspirations. The business included reading of the minutes, the financial statement, discussion on the remits to be spoken to at the annual meeting in New Plymouth.

As well, a sub-committee was chosen

to work on Eisteddfod items, and two notices were brought to the notice of members.

Our guest speaker for the afternoon was Rosie O’Brien, a former Executive WI member.

Rosie, after suffering some vague symptoms for a long time was by means of a simple blood test diagnosed with an auto-immune condition, celiac disease. Rosie began her address by reading an article recently published for Coeliac Awareness Week in the Guardian. Affecting about one per cent of the New Zealand population, coeliac disease is not an allergy, and it is not only gluten intolerance but a condition which has a range of symptoms and has a big impact on what one can eat: oats, barley, rye, and wheat are the main grain culprits. In the gut, the villi become flattened and do not work in food absorption. Symptoms include a range of gastro-intestinal problems, cramp, anaemia, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, nausea, fuzzy headedness, and extreme fatigue which can be misdiagnosed.

In young children a failure to thrive is evident. Rosie said there seemed to be a familial tendency. Rosie’s life-changing condition manifested itself about two years ago, and before long Rosie

began a gluten-free diet, which took a bit of adjustment. Eating out at restaurants could be a problem, some places being better than others for catering for special dietary needs. As well, Rosie’s cupboards had to have an overhaul, Marmite had to be excluded, as well as many spices and flavouring essences, some very long and frustrating sessions in supermarkets also had to be contended with. Members, over a cup of tea sampled some of Rosie’s ginger crunch and pronounced it delicious, along with other goodies served by the hostesses Christine and Jenny.

Rakaia The motto of our May meeting, read by Heather Isles was: “life is too short, to wake up in the morning with regrets.”

The business of the meeting centred mainly on the discussion of various remits, to be dealt with at the AGM of the National Federation of WI. These were very interesting, especially the one about the world’s rapidly declining bee population and its likely causes.

The winner of the Monica Johnston trophy was Pam Dolan.

Our speaker was Julie Boag who has started a new business in Rakaia, helping

women to use make- up more correctly, and of course to look better. Some of us felt it was rather late in the day to attempt this, but we all watched attentively as Julie using Lynne Robinson as her model gave us beauty tips and health facts and cautions against over-much sun. Afternoon tea concluded a most enjoyable and good humoured afternoon. Our next meeting, in June will be a lunch to celebrate our 84th Birthday!

Tinwald Terrance View was the venue for our meeting, where member, Peg resides with her husband Keith. Accommodating staff warmly welcomed members.

President Joy opened the meeting welcoming a visitor Margaret’s daughter Marianne. Members recited The Aspirations. Apology from Jan was accepted.

The motto was read by Joan Keele.

“Houses are built of bricks, sticks, and stones; but homes are made by Love Alone”. Roll Call: Wear a white Flower, was well responded to.

Our link letter was read by Joy. Quizco and Eisteddfod was discussed and finalised. The raffle was won by Joan Keele.

A lovely afternoon tea. Our next meeting will be at Colleen Cockburn’s home.

Tina Egan made a rare but successful northern visit 12 months ago and she has doubled her hand in a bid to further her record in Saturday’s Listed Team Wealleans Tauranga Classic.

The Stratford trainer produced the talented Better Keeper to dead-heat for third behind I Do and Postmans Daughter in the event a year ago.

Better Keeper subsequently placed in the Gr.2 Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes and the Gr.3 Thompson Handicap and is currently back in pre-training following a spell.

Egan’s focus this time around is with Cassie Anne and Hostage and both mares are in solid form to take on the weight-for-age feature.

“Cassie Anne would prefer it if the track stayed at slow,” Egan said.

“She’s been going good races on bad tracks.”

The winner of four of her 17 starts, the five-year-old was in fine form during the summer with one of her best performances a fifth placing, and less than two lengths from the winner Pure Champion, in the Gr.3 Manawa-

tu Challenge Stakes.

Cassie Anne has had three runs back from a break and most recently she ran third behind the impressive Start Wondering at Wanganui.

She will be ridden by the country’s leading rider Matt Cameron while promising apprentice Shaun McKay has been booked for Hostage.

The six-year-old was a last-start Rating 75 winner in heavy ground at Trentham and Egan will be thrilled even if the mare is a minor player on Saturday.

■ NETBALL

Students match up

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Tomorrow it’s all about the glitz and glam but tonight the focus is on netball.

While the annual Ashburton College ball is the centre of many young women’s attention today, the same cannot be said for the co-captains of the Ashburton College A team.

Netball is at the forefront of Ella Sinclair and Kate Lloyd’s minds.

Their team has had a busy week already, playing against St Margaret’s in the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition last night.

The College girls managed to continue their unbeaten streak, clinching a 25-19 win in what was a meeting of the two top teams.

Being both basketballer and netballer, this is the first year Lloyd has dedicated herself to

just one sport.

She has played for College since starting secondary school and has also played her fair share of representative sport. Just this month she was named in the Mainland Combined U19.

Sinclair has played netball since she was at primary school and has played for College for the past four years.

Like Lloyd, she too has played representative netball.

Tonight, the girls and their team will come up against College B team who are yet to have a win since being promoted to the premier grade.

Both girls agree tonight’s game, the fourth in the second round of premier netball, will be an interesting one.

While the girls acknowledge College B are struggling in the grade, both agree that they are a solid team.

“They’re a strong team, they’ve just been unlucky with a few games,” Lloyd said.

They won’t take them lightly though.

“Our team is still growing too, so it’ll be good for everyone,” Sinclair said.

Both Lloyd and Sinclair know the pressures of premier well, having been in the grade at a similar age, like most of the College B team. While it was tough, Lloyd said it made for a great learning curve.

In tonight’s other premier games United face off against Hampstead A in the early match, and Methven play Celtic in the late game.

In Senior A, College Y9A square off against Methven B and Celtic B play Collegiate A while Rakaia, who sit top of the table, face up against Hampstead B.

Right - College A co-captains Kate Lloyd (right) and Ella Sinclair are looking to make it four wins in a row tonight during round two of the ACL Premier netball competition.

Ex-Hammers man now head coach for Black Ferns

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Glenn Moore in his coaching days in Mid Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury’s Glenn Moore has been named as the head coach of the Black Ferns for their tour of Canada.

Earlier this week Black Ferns head coach Greg Smith voluntarily stood down from his role and it was agreed by New Zealand Rugby and Smith that his decision was in the best interests of the team.

This followed Waikato Rugby’s decision to suspend him from coaching for 14 weeks after he was charged with misconduct.

Moore has joined the Black Ferns for their pre-tour camp at Millennium Institute of Sport and Health on the North Shore.

A former Mid Canterbury loose forward, Moore coached North Otago from 2000 until 2005 and the New Zealand Divisional XV from 2003 until 2005.

In 2006 he was the Highlanders’ defence coach and in 2007 he took on the role of assistant coach too. Following that he became the team’s head coach until 2010.

After that he was a technical advisor for North Otago before joining Mid Canterbury in 2013,

leading them to championship titles in 2013 and 2014.

He said this upcoming tour of Canada was an important one for the squad as they looked to build towards the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2017.

“This is an opportunity for the newcomers in the squad to gain invaluable international experience and stake their claim for the black jersey,” Moore said.

“I’m expecting some very exciting rugby.”

During the Canadian tour the Black Ferns will face three of the world’s top teams - England, the USA and Canada.

In brief

■ RUGBY

College try-fest conquers Waitaki Ashburton College girls’ rugby team got one back over Waitaki Girls last night, beating the southerners 48-29 in a game featuring 13 tries.

It was a fast-running affair with College kicking off the scoring with a try to Manaia Whatuira-Wereta after 10 minutes.

After Waitaki bombed a certain try, College went straight on attack with Chloe Te Moananui busting through the line; her forwards were there in support and eventually it was her sister Erana that drove over for the try.

Their third try was scored by Tessa Puleaga, who finished off a fine sequence of play involving Caitlin Johnstone and Whatuira-Wereta. Annie McDonald added extra points with a conversion to make it 17-0.

With time almost up in the first half, Waitaki scored two quick tries to trail just 12-17 going into the break.

Normal service resumed when College returned with Piper Jones running down the wing to set things up for the forwards, and Olivia Cunneen finishing off. McDonald converted.

Jones then scored one for herself, and Cunneen a second before Waitaki joined the party again with a try to trail 17-36.

College went to sleep for a period, allowing Waitaki two

Bredin to ref final Dunedin umpire Jono Bredin has capped off a controversial campaign by being appointed to control his third straight ANZ Championship final in Brisbane on Sunday. Bredin, the top-ranked Kiwi umpire, was heavily criticised on social media by fans who felt he wrongfully penalised the Central Pulse in the dying stages of two matches against the Southern Steel this season. Bredin deleted his Twitter account, and league officials beefed up security around him and the competition’s other umpires.

Worth the wait Good things happen to those who wait. Highlanders fans have waited and waited – and now the good is coming. General manager Roger Clark said a combination of hard work, both on and off the field, had led the Highlanders to the playoffs for the second year in a row. Clark first got involved with the Highlanders in late 2010 as project manager, overseeing a complete overhaul of the business.

The side was going nowhere, there was flagging public interest and most good players gave the side a cold shoulder.

more tries and to come within seven points at 36-29.

After Jones was tackled into touch just short of the line, Chloe Te Moananui stole the ball and drove over from 10 metres out.

College got the ball from the kickoff, Aidan Elvines passing

off to Georgia Lysaght who kept the forward momentum.

Chloe Te Moananui finished it off under the posts, with McDonald’s boot on target.

Fullback Kate Donald was also in much of the action, setting up players or pulling off try-saving tackles.

The result was a good one for College in the girls’ secondary schools’ rugby contest as they had been beaten by Waitaki earlier in the season.

Many in the team will be swapping their boots for heels tomorrow to attend the College’s annual ball.

Auckland gone New Zealand has been dropped off the World Series triathlon calendar.

Auckland has hosted a round of the premier multisport circuit for five years. And part of the blame for the loss of the event has been sheeted back to New Zealand’s top triathletes. Triathlon New Zealand boss Craig Waugh said while it was not the sole reason for New Zealand losing its place, the failure of the country’s elite athletes inspiring the public.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) With a much clearer sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, you’re able to make a fresh start.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Ensure that with the doors open to the past, second chances and an opportunity for a do over, that communication is part of the process.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) As well as a better sense of where the money is there are clues to what the money gods are up to behind the scenes and it’s all good.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Revisit the desires, expectations and a sense of entitlement Venus left you with as you’re now just days away from the start of a new journey.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Key is realising that it’s about quality time not how much time you have to spare, with a few moments of mindfulness all it takes.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) You have a tailwind at your back, 20/20 hindsight to draw on and a strong working relationship between income, work and career forces.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Just as the doors have reopened to second chances on the income front your professional instincts are likely to kick in, just when you need it most.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The financial confidence you’re feeling is coming from the filter through which you’re able to see money matters as a whole, which is more positive.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) With the Sun returning to begin your annual financial review on Monday, this is a valuable chance to regroup, paying attention to all messages.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) An alliance between home and financial forces is bringing a new sense of financial confidence that could become game changing.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Some valuable clues are being delivered through the emotional, intuitive and imaginative responses being triggered today.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Today’s playful lunar vibes might seem a distraction but they bring a serious message that you can’t let life become all work and no play.

Brazilian players celebrate their 5-0 win over Senegal in Christchurch yesterday.

PHOTO JOSEPH JOHNSON

Perfect Brazil, Serbia in final Brazil was “perfect” in its own eyes but “lucky” in the eyes of its vanquished opponent after a 5-0 win over Senegal yesterday which moved the favourites into Saturday’s final of the under-20 World Cup against Serbia.

A neutral observer would find it easier to agree with Brazil coach Rogerio Micale’s assessment of the game than his Senegal counterpart Joseph Seto, as the African team was down 4-0 and playing with 10 men by halftime.

Seto’s side was without Mouhameth Sane, one of its key central defenders, due to suspension, and then lost another, Elimane Cisse to a red card.

Both his yellows seemed fair, but Seto disagreed. Speaking

through an interpreter, he said his side had now had two “rough experiences” with Italian referee Daniele Orsato.

“I do want to congratulate Brazil, the better team won,” Seto said.

Brazil dominated possession, territory and was far more composed. The five-time champion had been far from assured in its two preceding knock-out matches, beating both Uruguay and Portugal in penalty shootouts after scoreless draws.

It soon rediscovered its attacking prowess, rushing out to a two-goal lead after seven minutes, before adding a third after 19. Everything it touched turned to gold and even an innocuous pass into the six-yard

box in the fifth minute was accidentally redirected into the Senegal goal by Sane’s replacement Andelinou Correa.

From then, the semi-final was a mismatch. Brazilian striker Marcos Guilherme scored twice and was joined on the score sheet by Jorge and Boschilia.

Senegal had a handful of chances but couldn’t break the Brazilian defence which has now kept a 502-minute long cleansheet dating back to the eighth minute of its second game against Hungary.

In Auckland, Serbia defeated Mali 2-1 in a thrilling match.

Serbia was deserved - if not popular - victors. Mali played a lot of the football, often very pretty, but struggled to pen-

etrate the disciplined Serbian defence. The Europeans lived on comparative scraps but created far more clear-cut chances and grabbed an inevitable winner in the first period of extra time. In truth they could have had several more.

For a semi-final it was extremely open and for spells almost the entire 10,818 crowd - apart from a block of concentrated Serbian support - were chanting “Mali, Mali” in tune with their distinctive Djembe drums. Serbia have a more orthodox style, relying on fast overlapping wingers and pinpoint crosses in the final third and always looked dangerous on the counter attack.

In many ways, this game went

far beyond just a sporting contest. After Mali’s shock upset over Germany, their coach Fanyeri Diarra dedicated the victory to “peace in our country.” The West African country has been affected by civil war since 2012.

Serbia’s progress has gripped their nation. They have only been independent since 2006, and their last participation at this tournament (as part of Yugoslavia) was in 1987 Mali’s drums entertained the crowd before kick-off but fell silent after just four minutes.

A slide rule pass from midfield unlocked the Mali defence and Andrija Zivkovic finished with aplomb. Serbia had two other good chances in the first 15 minutes.
