Five things that may interest you

Jude Law to be a dad again Jude Law’s ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his baby.

This will be the fifth child for the British actor.

Law’s representative confirmed the pregnancy news to People magazine yesterday. “I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child. They consider this a private matter and other than this confirmation no statement will be made. I ask that you respect the privacy of all parties involved and their families,” Law’s rep told the US publication. Law has three kids, sons Rafferty and Rudy and daughter Iris, from his marriage to British actress Sadie Frost.

The 41-year-old actor also has a five-year-old daughter, Sophia, with American model Samantha Burke.

Unusual way to celebrate 60th Whangarei teacher Jill Hartles is celebrating her 60th birthday in an unusual fashion – building a house in Nepal. The Tikipunga high school teacher is spending a week in Nepal with Habitat for Humanity next month, building homes for the locals, alongside 11 other Northland volunteers and 350 from around the world. “It’s sort of a little bit bucket list and 60th birthday celebration,” Ms Hartles said of her impending trip.

“I’ve been a supporter of Habitat for Humanity for a long time, so I knew about the builds. I thought when the opportunity comes it would be something I would like to do.”

Klum the new face of Bendon

The host of Project Runway and former Sports Illustrated covergirl Heidi Klum, is to replace Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson as the face of Bendon. Bendon yesterday announced the new partnership with the 41-year-old Klum for its flagship Intimates brand to replace Macpherson, whose association with the lingerie company began 25 years ago. The entire Elle Macpherson Intimates collection is to be rebranded Heidi Klum Intimates and will be launched on January 1. Bendon was founded in 1947 by New Zealander Ray Hurley. The company is now owned by Eric Watson’s Cullen Investments and Bendon chief executive Justin Davis-Rice, who has spearheaded the global growth of the business.

Mr Watson said Bendon was one of New Zealand’s best-kept business stories. “To be partnering with Heidi speaks volumes about how Bendon is perceived around the world. “It’s a great day for New Zealanders.” Bendon also includes international brands such as Stella McCartney Lingerie, Pleasure State, Fayreform and Lovable. Its Intimates collection brand is distributed in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US.

Best cover Model Megan Gale says she couldn’t be happier her “confronting” nude baby bump shoot has been named magazine cover of the year.

The 39-year-old stunner posed completely naked on the front cover of Marie Claire in May, following in the footsteps of Demi Moore’s famous 1991 Vanity Fair cover. In the same vein as Moore, Gale’s shot shows her posing side on for the camera, her hair swept up into a casual high ponytail. The image was awarded on Wednesday as Magazine Cover Of The Year in the Fashion, Health & Beauty Division at the annual Australian Maggie’s Magazine Cover Awards. “So happy to hear that my @marieclaireau cover won Fashion Magazine Cover of the Year at the 2014 Maggie Awards,” Gale wrote on her Instagram account.

Russo’s bipolar struggle Actress Rene Russo has revealed she is bipolar. The 60-year-old actress was promoting her new movie Nightcrawler with co-star Jake Gyllenhaal on Queen Latifah’s US talk show when one probing question prompted Russo to open up about her lifelong battle with mood disorder. “My mum said my whole childhood ... was stop and go,” she said. Russo said she literally “hit a wall” one day and found herself unable to get out of bed. “I thought it was depression, but if you take anti-depressants it speeds you up more.” The actress has never spoken about her bipolar before and said she takes medication to control her mood swings. She also urged other bipolar sufferers to do the same. “I have friends who don’t want to go on medication, and they are suffering.” Russo’s credits include Get Shorty, Outbreak, Lethal Weapon 3 and Lethal Weapon 4, Ransom and Thor.

■ HINDS SCHOOL

New principal ready to do the hard yards

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For most people, the idea of a four hour commute would be enough to put them off taking a new job.

However, for new Hinds School principal Vicki McIntyre, driving for hours to get to work is simply business as usual.

Mrs McIntyre currently lives near Ranfurly, where her husband Alan manages a sheep and beef station.

She has been the principal of StrathTaieri School for 10 years, which requires her to drive for an hour or more each way, depending on traffic.

However, that commute pales in comparison to the four hours it will take her to get to work when she takes over from departing Hinds School principal Eric Davis at the start of 2015.

According to Mrs McIntyre, she would

stay in Hinds during the week and return home in the weekends. “I’ll stay here for the first while, we haven’t planned anything yet really,” she said.

She travelled to Hinds yesterday to meet parents and pupils, and she said the community had been “really welcoming” and supportive.

Travelling long distances to get to work was nothing new for Mrs McIntyre, as she had “always lived rural”.

Mrs McIntyre grew up in neighbouring South Canterbury, and she believed her new job was like “coming full circle”.

Leaving her current position would be bitter-sweet and “a bit scary”, but she believed it was time to take the next step.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge and the change, it’s taking all the learning I’ve done and using it somewhere new,” she said.

Vicki McIntyre will take over as principal of Hinds School next year, despite a four hour commute from her home near Ranfurly.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Child porn peddler escapes jail A degenerative disease has kept an Ashburton man convicted of peddling child pornography from a prison sentence.

The man appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday, for sentencing on 16 charges of possessing child pornography for distribution, and 12 of possessing child pornographic, relating to 2200 still and moving images.

Strict suppression orders prevent the Guardian from naming the offender, or publishing any

identifying details.

Objectionable material is classified on an escalating five point scale. With the exception of one image which met with a category four score, the rest were three or lower.

The Crown suggested a starting point of three to three and half years’ imprisonment, however conceded home detention was an alternative.

The accused’s lawyer, Douglas Brown, said the offending was financially rather than sexually motivated, done in a mis-

guided attempt to supplement his client’s benefit. He had made between $5000 and $6000.

He used this in support of his argument for an electronically monitored sentence, saying his client would gain nothing from participating in custodial programmes developed to address sexual offending.

Mr Brown also addressed his client’s deteriorating health, extremely limited mobility and need for care.

He said the convicted man had since learned about the con-

sequences of re-victimisation, which occurred each time objectionable images are viewed, and was deeply remorseful. He had attempted to screen out the most disturbing images before making them available online.

Judge Maze said the fact the images were “peddled for financial reward” made the offending even more callous, because innocent children repeatedly were defiled and exploited.

“There is no doubt those who distribute bear more responsibility than those who merely

possess it,” Judge Maze said.

However, she conceded the offender’s degenerating health and shortened life expectancy deserved consideration. “In the normal course of events this offending would warrant a term of imprisonment, but the circumstances here are extraordinary. There is nothing to gain from a custodial sentence.”

In handing down an eight month home detention sentence Judge Maze said it would be “a very real restriction on the limited liberties that he has”.

■ CORONER’S COURT

Bike ‘unroadworthy’ A modified motorised bike involved in a fatal crash near Lake Hood in 2012 was not in a roadworthy condition, according to a coroner’s report.

Donna Lusty, 50, was riding the bike and she died at the scene after turning in front of a small truck at the intersection of Grahams Road and Grove Farm Road on May 22, 2012.

It appeared she simply had not seen the truck.

Mrs Lusty was a Lake Hood resident. She had limited vision – 10 per cent of normal vision according to the coroner – and

used the bike to ride to the edge of town and then walk the rest of the way, her family told the Guardian at the time of her death.

The family said she’d got the bike on the internet and it had a maximum speed of 28km/h and didn’t require registration or a driver’s licence.

But coroner Richard McElrea has found otherwise.

He found that instead of being classed as a power assisted pedal cycle, it should have been classed as a motor scooter or moped, due to its power out-

put. He said it should have been registered, displaying a registration plate and should have been maintained to warrant of fitness standards.

“It met none of these requirements. The lights, tyres and brakes on the motor scooter would not have met any approved standard.”

Mr McElrea said the pedals had been taken off the bike, meaning it was relying solely on its auxiliary motor.

As it was a motor scooter, Mrs Lusty was required to have a driver’s licence, and be

wearing a motorcycle helmet.

She had never held a driver’s licence and was wearing a bicycle helmet.

Mr McElrea said the death highlighted the issue of the classification of modes of transport. Police said it was a matter for the Ministry of Transport and the two organisations were discussing a better regulatory framework.

Mr McElrea said no fault lay with the driver of the small truck – an 18-year-old man. Mr McElrea said he’d had no time to react.

Robot pill dispenser ‘the way of the future’

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Pharmacists Jane Kelly and Rachel Eaton have stepped up to the cutting edge area of dispensing pills.

For them the endless hours spent counting pills have gone and they’ve invested in a robot that can achieve in 40 seconds what it could take them up to 10 minutes to do.

While blister packs of medication are not new, the way in which these are packaged at their East Street pharmacy is.

From receipt of a prescription to having pills ready to go, now involves little more than pushing a few buttons, a few key strokes on a computer and the process is completed.

Their Alpaca dispenser is the first one in the Canterbury District Health Board’s area and the fourth in New Zealand, but the pair say the robot is the way of the future.

Less time in the back room counting pills means more time for pharmacists to work with clients, Mrs Eaton said.

“We wanted to be innova-

Group’s future at stake Mt Hutt Marketing Group members will discuss the group’s future existence and direction next week at its annual general meeting and strategic review. It has extended an open invitation to all interested parties citing it as an opportunity to have input into the future of the marketing group and whether it continued to exist. There was also expected to be discussion on people’s expectations of the group if it did continue. The meeting will be held at Brinkley Resort, in Methven. It starts at 6pm. Anyone interested in attending can register with Anita Twamley at 308-2669.

Death suspicious Police are investigating the suspicious death of a man who died following a fight at a Foodstuffs warehouse in Wiri, South Auckland. Emergency services received a call about the 45-year-old man about 1.10pm.

When paramedics arrived at the scene the man was in a critical condition, an ambulance spokesman said. “Shortly after [he] went into cardiac arrest,” the spokesman said. Ambulance staff were able to revive him briefly, “but he subsequently died a short time after”, he said. It is not believed a weapon was involved in the fight.

Package ticking A ticking package delivered to a courier company in South Auckland last evening has been destroyed, police say. Police said they were alerted by the courier company at 5.40pm. A ticking sound was heard from the parcel, which was in a satchel, police said.

The courier company evacuated the premises and the package was then destroyed.

tive. This improves efficiency as before we had two and a half technicians spending four or five days every week packing pills.

“It also has a low error rate and that’s fantastic for patient

safety,” she said.

The robot also produces larger packs with larger print, making it easier for pharmacists to check pills and for patients to read instructions.

Robots as dispensers in phar-

macies will become the norm, Mrs Kelly said, “We’re excited about the new options that are coming with technology; this is just the first step and we want to be embracing it.”

■ ASHBURTON SANTA PARADE

Organiser puts bite on council for funds

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Russell Ellis is calling on the Ashburton District Council to dig into its pocket and fund this year’s Santa Parade.

The parade, traditionally run by the Ashburton Business Association, but with this organisation winding up it is now struggling for a sponsor.

While the association’s former chair Carol Johns has committed to keeping the parade running this year, she’s desperately short of the cash need to stage the event.

She’s appealed to the council for help, asking it to pay for traffic management expenses but that’s not going far enough for councillor Ellis.

This week when the council’s finance and business services committee discussed the parade he said the council was getting off lightly if it only funded the street closure.

Ms Johns needs an additional $4000 in sponsorship to pay for the event and Mr Ellis told his fellow councillors he hoped she’d come back to council if she couldn’t find the money.

“I don’t think it’s too much to ask for us to put up the money for a santa parade for our town. We’re getting off lightly with this and I’d hate to see it fall over,” he said.

It would be great for the community to end the year with a happy event and for the council funding the parade wouldn’t be a huge financial commitment, Mr Ellis said.

“If this event falls over it will never happen again and how sad would that be? Don’t let it fall over, if need be, let’s pick it up.”

Assuming the parade was saved, Mr Ellis said planning needed to start early next year to put a funding framework in place, he said.

Mayor Angus McKay said he was aware of discussion in the community over the fate of the Christmas parade and said he’d also hate to see it cancelled.

“She (Ms Johns) has my full support.”

He agreed with Mr Ellis that the $2000 the traffic management would cost was a small price to pay to ensure the event went ahead.

Time to celebrate, New Zealand’s sausage making champ Paddy Kennedy wraps up a long week at the sausage machine with a hard earned beer.

■ ALLENTON MEAT CENTRE

Huge demand for top snags

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been one hell of a week for Paddy Kennedy.

On Tuesday he turned 45, became a New Zealand champ, celebrated hard and came home to an almost non-stop round of sausage making.

Mr Kennedy sausages won the coveted supreme award in this year’s Devro Sausage competition, beating 400 of the country’s best bangers for the prize. With winning has come an almost insatiable national demand for his beef and blue cheese sausages.

The orders are flooding in from around the country, sausage lovers are driving from north and south and locals are queueing at the door. That demand has meant little sleep, truck loads of beef, carton after carton of blue cheese and endless hours at the sausage machine for Mr Kennedy and his

Allenton Meat Centre staff.

He’s freighted sausages in 20 kilogram lots and he’s freighted them by the half dozen to an Aucklander who was happy to pay more in freight than the sausages were worth so he could say he’d tasted the country’s best.

And while he anticipated he’d be making beef and blue cheese sausages in the hundreds of kilograms each day, what he hadn’t counted on was the spill-over demand for most of his other specialty varieties too.

“People are coming in and just picking up everything we’ve got,” he said.

With a silver medal for roast beef and caramelised onion and a bronze for pork, sage, apple and rosemary, they have also been on the must-have list for sausage lovers.

“We’re seeing people in here we’ve never seen before, it’s fantastic, unbelievable to be honest.

“I reckon we’d have made the best part of 1600kg of blue cheese and beef and that’s just since Wednesday.”.

By late yesterday Mr Kennedy admits he was starting to wilt.

Too many sausages, too little sleep. He had a couple of beers on his mind and a long, long sleep. Sunday, however, he’ll be back at work, preparing for what he anticipates will be another huge week. “We have to jump on this now while we can.”

The spin-off for the blue cheese component of the sausage, made by Talbots of Geraldine, has also been huge.

As Paddy’s stocks of cheese raced out of the chiller, he grabbed every pack he could of Mt Peel blue from Ashburton supermarket shelves and Talbots are now supplying him in bulk.

“It’s great that we’ve got two small businesses in this together making gold,” he said.

Prevention best safety measure

Spider bite ‘excruciating’

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Sam Ward, with four-year-old daughter Ruby, suffered an excruciatingly painful spider bite two weeks ago.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 171014-TM-084

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A suspected spider bite left Sam Ward in excruciating pain and nursing a wound the size of a bread and butter plate.

Two weeks ago yesterday, Sam – an Ashburton hairdresser – was at work when she felt a pain in her upper thigh that felt like someone was pricking her with a needle.

She didn’t realise it at the time, but she’d just been bitten by what was believed to have been a white-tail spider and was set to have a major reaction.

“The pants I put on that day were straight off the line. I was at work and I felt like a needle prick into the top of my leg and I just rubbed it all day, not thinking anything of it,” the mother-of-three said.

It was a busy day, so it wasn’t until she got home that she realised she’d been bitten by something, and it wasn’t pretty. She

Googled images of bites and realised it was likely to have been a spider. But still, she wasn’t too worried. It was sore, but it was a bite and Sam just thought it would go away.

So she put up with it over the weekend.

By the Monday though, it was red, swollen and sore, so Sam went to the doctor. She was given antibiotics and told to come back later in the week if it didn’t improve.

The next day, Sam sent a photo of the bite to her brother – a paramedic in Christchurch – asking how long it should take for antibiotics to kick in. He told her to go straight to Christchurch.

For the next five days Sam had to make daily trips to Christchurch for IV antibiotics. The swelling was so bad around the wound that it was stopping the oral antibiotics from working.

Sam said her brother had told

her that if she’d left it for another few days, it was likely she would have got blood poisoning.

The bite had to be drained to stop the venom from burrowing into Sam’s leg.

“Until they cut it open I couldn’t even touch it, it was really excruciating pain,” she said.

Two weeks on, Sam’s still having the wound regularly dressed and reckons she’s still got a hole about 2cm deep on her leg. She’s been told it will be a long process as the wound has to heal from the inside out.

She never saw or found the spider afterwards, but believed a white-tail spider was the likely culprit, so now she’s being extra vigilant.

She’s double checking all her pants before she puts them on, shaking towels out before she uses them and checking her bed every night before she gets in.

She doesn’t want to go through the ordeal again.

WHAT TO DO ■

■

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Most spiders in New Zealand are harmless, but the katipo, redback and white-tail spiders can be harmful and should be avoided.

According to the Ministry of Health, bites by white-tail spiders can usually be treated by simple first aid … clean the bite area with antiseptic or warm soapy water place ice on the bite (not directly onto the skin) to reduce any pain or swelling.

It’s rare for significant problems to result from a spider bite.

Always try to capture the spider and take it with you when you seek medical help.

For any suspected spider bite, if the bite area becomes very red or painful, blisters, appears infected, or forms an ulcer, see a doctor.

Source: Ministry of Health

The best way to rid your property of white-tail spiders is to remove their food source – other spiders.

That’s the word from AJ Kerr from Ashburton Pest Control, although he says even spider proofing your home inside and out sometimes isn’t enough to keep some determined whitetail spiders away.

Mr Kerr said white-tail spiders – identified by white tips at the end of their abdomen - were wanderers.

“They are nomadic, they just tend to wander and feed on other spiders,” he said. Often they’d just climb in a toilet window, on the hunt for other spiders to eat.

Sometimes they did bite people, but Mr Kerr isn’t convinced it happens as often as people think. A white-tail spider is rarely witnessed in the act of biting someone and often it is just thought to be the cause, when it isn’t, Mr Kerr said.

The reason the actual biting is rarely witnessed is because white-tail spiders like dark spaces, like drawers and beds, and they can often be brought into the house with the washing. They like to keep themselves hidden.

Mr Kerr said New Zealand’s white-tail spider problem was no worse this year than it had been in years gone by.

He told people if they saw one in their house, not to panic.

If they see 10, then call him.

“My theory on containing white-tails is basically treating inside and outside and taking care of other spiders, then it’s unattractive for them to be in your house, if you take away their food supply,” Mr Kerr said.

White-tail spiders are the only troublesome biting spiders in our parts, Mr Kerr said.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

In brief

Final warning for accused But for the fact a young man’s partner was sitting in the Ashburton District Court supporting him yesterday, he would be sitting in prison today.

Troy Lance Mark Larson, 25, appeared before Judge Joanna Maze for sentencing on charges of discharging a firearm in his home, assaulting a woman, assault, threatening to injure, threatening to damage property, drink driving and careless use of a motor vehicle.

Sentencing and restorative justice reports were “not overly positive”, Judge Maze said.

The reports noted Larson did not take the charges seriously, and would not accept he had a problem with alcohol.

In June Larson was booked

“

If this sentence comes back before me because it has broken down, it will be prison

for driving with a breath alcohol level of 593 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath after losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a power pole near Burnham.

Earlier police had been alerted to his erratic driving, which included overtaking an ambulance and frequently crossing the centre line.

On July 14 he used an air gun to shoot up a door in his home

during an argument with his partner. He continued drinking and goading her, threatening to knife her, before slamming her against a wall and slapping her.

While she was at the police station laying a complaint, Larson called her cellphone and threatened to damage her property. However, his lawyer Michelle Barrell said the couple had reconciled, and Larson

had engaged with an alcohol support service.

His partner believed he was changing, Ms Barrell said.

As Larson openly wept in the dock, Judge Maze said only the fact that Larson’s partner was in court supporting him had kept him out of prison.

“She must see something in you others don’t,” she said, before handing down a sentence of 150 hours community work, nine months supervision with special conditions and disqualified him from driving for six months.

“This is the last opportunity – if this sentence comes back before me because it has broken down, it will be prison,” Judge Maze said.

Distraction caused a driver to plough into a tractor, with such force it was left in two pieces.

Raymond Edwin Solomon, 53, appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court this week, on a charge of careless use causing injury. The court was told Solomon was driving a 4WD vehicle on Wakanui Road on July 7. While attempting to overtake the tractor ahead of him, he was distracted by a vehicle on the other side of the road. Unable to complete the manoeuvre safely, he was forced to plough into the tractor, with such force the driver was ejected and the tractor snapped in half. The victim is still unable to work, and is not well enough to participate in the restorative justice process, stalling sentencing. Judge Maze requested the restorative justice co-ordinator discuss reparations with the victim and his family, before Solomon returns to court for sentencing next month.

Jailed for 15 months

■ ASHBURTON VINTAGE CAR CLUB

Wati Jame Terehu might be a convicted criminal, but he’s also a dab hand at cleaning.

When the 40-year-old appeared before Judge Joanna Maze for sentencing on multiple charges this week, he brought with him an excellent testimonial letter from the prison, where he has been held on remand. Terehu was jailed for 15 months for charges including burglary, theft, threatening behaviour, receiving stolen property, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and driving while forbidden. But before delivering her verdict, Judge Maze read the testimonial. She said it was extremely rare to receive such a glowing report. Terehu’s existing community work sentence was cancelled, and his outstanding fines remitted.

Members raring to go in spring rally

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Vintage Car Club of New Zealand members will be out in force this weekend as more than 40 vehicles take to the roads for a leisurely Sunday drive in their annual Spring Rally.

Ashburton Vintage Car Club of New Zealand, club captain Trevor Begg said 48 vehicles had registered and among the cars, there was also a motorcycle and two commercial trucks.

All vehicles were pre-1984 and the oldest was a 1906 Cadillac. It had a top speed of 32km per hour. The rally was open to members from other regions and included in this convoy was one vehicle from Waimate.

Mr Begg planned to drive his green 1937 Chevrolet. It had a 3980cc engine, producing 85 brake horsepower.

The car was once owned by Mr Begg’s grandmother and he learned to drive in it, more than 50 years ago. He always knew it was around the district and when it came up for sale six years ago, he bought it. The engine still purred when it was fired up.

While the rally route and its lunch-time destination remained top secret, Mr Begg

said the vehicles would cover 67km all up.

They had an out of town venue planned for lunch, before they “putter back into town”.

There were prizes for the

best-timed veteran, motorbikes and commercial classes.

Prior to the rally, members will compete in a few novelty field tests at the club’s Maronan Road headquarters. They

start at 9.30am.

Mr Begg said the first car, and likely the slowest, the Cadillac, will be on the road at 10.30am. There would be 30 seconds between vehicles.

A faithful dog which stayed by her owner’s side as he lay seriously injured for seven hours has been described as “devoted” to her owner. Dave Keys, 52, cycled into a sinkhole at Morgan Park in Waihi about 9pm on Wednesday, falling in to the 75cm-deep hole and seriously injuring his neck. After a gruelling seven hours, a council worker clearing bins at 4.15am was alerted that something was wrong

by Mr Keys’ dog Bailey, which was near the spot where he was lying.

Although badly injured, Mr Keys was conscious and talking. Mr Keys’ sister Fiona, 54, said she visited her brother in hospital. He told his family he heard his neck break when he landed. “He knew he had done something really, really bad. Nothing ... from the armpits down moved. And they won’t any more. It’s horrific,” she said.

■ GISBORNE

In brief

Scientist working illegally The body overseeing medical laboratories will be reviewing some of its processes after a British scientist was able to work illegally for five years in two labs without a valid practising certificate.

Charles Gerald Laverty worked at TLab at Gisborne Hospital between June 2008 and April 2009, and at Pathlab Bay of Plenty between July 2009 and August last year.

His Annual Practising Certificate (APC) was not valid for

the entire period and his working visa had lapsed in June 2007.

A hearing into his behaviour was held in Wellington yesterday by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal after a complaint was laid by the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC).

The committee’s lawyer Jo Hughson told the tribunal that Mr Laverty’s deceit came to light last year when Pathlab realised it had not reimbursed

the scientist for fees he would have had to pay to keep his documentation up to date.

When he started his employment at both laboratories, his employers took his word that he was working legally in New Zealand as well as having a current APC without making any further checks, Ms Hughson said.

Mr Laverty was fired from Pathlab when it came to light he had been illegally working in the country.

He was arrested last October and deported to Thailand. It was not known where he was living now, Ms Hughes said.

After the hearing, Medical Sciences Council registrar Mary Doyle said they would be reviewing its practices.

“The council has never in the past checked people’s immigration status, because that has traditionally been the domain of the employer.

“But the council will be reviewing that.”

Govt grant comes with some strings attached not de-access any items from the centre’s collections to raise funds for project costs.

It also had to agree to make the centre available to house collections that were temporarily displaced from other museums or galleries.

Housing another complex’s collection would not compromise public space at Ashburton’s centre, council communications manager Gavin

EA Networks cable jointer Jonathon Ackroyd was unable to defend his title this week at the equivalent of the linesman games in Christchurch. Mr Ackroyd got top honours at the Electrical Supply Industry Training Organisation (ESITO) annual connection event last year. But he did not place this year competing against 11 other cable jointers from around the country. They were tested in different disciplines ranging from electrical theory and first aid, to live low-voltage joining and pit rescue. The competition, which included 12 teams of Line Mechanics competing for their own title, was at the RNZAF Airforce Museum at Wigram.

Charged with murder

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY AND HERITAGE CENTRE

Ashburton’s new museum and art gallery could become home to art and history collections from around the South Island in times of natural disasters.

The new complex was recently granted more than $1 million from the Government’s regional museum’s policy fund, but the money came with a few tags – that the council used the money to reduce borrowings for the centre and that it would

Linesman loses title

Thomas told a meeting of the council’s finance and business support committee.

Mayor Angus McKay had other ideas, a few days closure or partial closure would not be out of the way if it helped someone out in an emergency, he said.

“If there was a disaster befalling another facility in Canterbury or even in the South Island and it wanted some-

where to put its collections, even if it meant we’d put ourselves out for a week or so, I’d like to think those collections would be able to be taken,” he said.

The need for accommodation, however, might not be great, because temperature controlled storage had been established after the Canterbury earthquakes at Wigram airbase.

A 17-year-old Raumanga man appeared in the Whangarei District Court yesterday jointly charged with a 16-year-old male with the murder of Michael Patrick Griffin.

The man was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody to appear in the High Court at Whangarei next Thursday with the co-accused.

Police arrested the teenager about 8.30pm on Thursday and it comes eight days after police arrested a 16-year-old. They would not say of the teenagers were related. - APNZ

Benefit numbers down New Zealand’s roll call of sole parents on benefits has dropped again – this time to the lowest level in a quarter-century.

Figures released by new Social Development Minister Anne Tolley show numbers on the sole parent benefit fell by 7110, or 8.9 per cent, in the year to September, following a similar drop of 7268 the year before. The rules were changed in July last year to shift about 20,000 sole parents with no children under 14 on to the new jobseeker support benefit. But even adding 20,000 to the latest total, the number of sole parents on benefits is the lowest since there were 85,615 on the DPB in 1989 - 25 years ago.

A man who escaped from police custody yesterday then evaded police for almost four hours has been caught. Police said the 31-year-old man was being interviewed at Gisborne police station when he escaped about 9.45am. The man then tried to break into several vehicles before he managed to steal a car from the Gisborne CBD, Senior Sergeant Steven Sutherland said. He said the man then managed to evade a roadblock that police had set up at Matawai,before driving into the Waioeka Gorge. The man was finally caught just before 1.30pm by a police dog and a number of police.

How our

THE ESTABLISHMENT Clockwise, from left: Darryl Nelson, Neil Brown, Alan Totty, Don McLeod.

Over the past 12 months Ashburton’s team of district councillors have been to hell and back as they’ve debated a raft of issues that have seen some on-side and others off-side with community feeling. In making decisions they’ve faced a choice – stand up and be counted or follow the crowd.

Council reporter Sue Newman takes a look at how the new council crew is shaping up.

T

he calendar has just ticked over from the Ashburton District’s triennial day of reckoning.

One year and one week ago it was local body election day, the day when 21 men and women put their hands up to be judged by their peers. Five sitting rural councillors were fortunate. They were not measured on the past three years’ performance. They stood, unchallenged, retaining their seats around the council table.

The people, however, had an opportunity to judge the four urban councillors seeking reelection, assessing their past performance against the promises of nine aspirants. And they had an opportunity to take a long, hard look at the term in retrospect served by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay who faced two challengers.

Votes were cast and one mayor and 12 councillors were elected.

One sitting councillor, Jac Sparks

was cast out, another, Don McLeod almost didn’t make it. Four new faces made the cut, among them two former councillors who had resigned prior to or during the last term.

Rod Beavan retired from council in 2010 to take up business opportunities with his family. Three years down the track family obligations completed, the man who had been the social conscience of council, wanted to come back.

The other, Peter Reveley, resigned mid-term after seven years around the council table out of frustration, saying he’d realised that one man couldn’t change the world. Two years later he decided to try again.

Local body elections 2013 were a very different beast – factors, issues and sector groups were clearly colouring who stood and who got votes. A new citizens’ association had formed and a large slice of the community was battling the council over big ticket spending, particularly on the art

gallery and museum project. It was a time of discontent.

Mr McKay beat off his closest challenger by more than 1000 votes, but he returned to office with a very different team. Gone were two seasoned campaigners John Leadley, Robin Kilworth and Jim Burgess, all of whom retired and gone was Jac Sparks, who felt voters’ wrath over her support for the unpopular Ashburton art gallery and museum project. And that support almost cost Don McLeod his seat too.

It was a new era. A new council and, for the first time in its history, one where two newcomers – Russell Ellis and Alasdair Urquhart rode to victory on the back of an anti-art gallery/museum campaign. Both were strong supporters of the newly-formed Ashburton Citizens’ Association.

Peter Reveley was also in that camp.

The foundations for a clear division in councillor ranks had been laid. The old guard

had gone and mid-termers Neil Brown, Darryl Nelson, Alan Totty, Stuart Wilson, Martin Nordqvist, Don McLeod, Donna Favel and last term’s new face, Ken Cutforth, were left to forge new allegiances.

Twelve months down the track and the new council team is shaping up, shaping itself into two teams. When votes are cast the divisions are often predictable – Mr Ellis, Mr Urquhart and Mr Reveley are usually in the same camp, with Mrs Favel, Mr Cutforth and often Mr Nordqvist regularly pitching their tents on the same patch.

And on more than one occasion that voting block has split the council.

Most often the seasoned campaigners – Mr Brown, Mr Totty, Mr Nelson and Mr McLeod – vote in unison.

Mr Wilson and Mr Beavan are the council’s swingers, their loyalties are their own with their votes cast where their conscience

leads. And that, of course, often sees Mr McKay caught in the middle. He’s probably used his casting vote more often in the past year than in his previous two terms.

If there are any lone wolves in the pack they’re Mr Reveley and Mr Wilson who on occasion can be a sole vote of dissent.

TIEBREAKER Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay.

Over the past 372 days since election day, those 13 men and women have spent millions of our dollars, but have they spent them wisely?

What did they promise; what have they delivered?

This year’s residents’ survey indicates they’ve performed at least as well as council teams of the past. The survey indicates they’ve got a few things right – the EA Networks Centre and a few things wrong but overall 43 per cent of those surveyed are happy with their performance, pretty close to last year, but well below 2011 when satisfaction hit a high of 69 per cent.

The second bridge across the

Ashburton River dominated the election and it continued to roll into the first months of the new council’s term.

Several new councillors were clearly anti-bridge route, but their efforts to overturn an earlier council decision to push ahead with the project were stymied by a perceived conflict of interest on the part of one councillor. Mr McLeod raised the flag and Mr Urquhart fell.

And that saw the vote to overturn split, with the mayor forced to call the day. He voted to proceed.

A later vote on land designation saw Mr Nelson withdraw on the grounds of possible conflict of interest but by that time Mr Urquhart had cleared the legal ground and rejoined the debate.

As it had for months, the art gallery and museum complex continued to split councillor ranks as they argued over cost over-runs and delays, culminating in the debacle that an agreement

over resident-only parking on a short strip of street had become.

Again this split the council, cost thousands of dollars, wasted hundreds of hours of staff time and resulted in a parking strategy review being tossed out.

For Mr McKay it hasn’t been the easiest of years as he’s tried to corral his new team.

One year down the track, the leaders, the solid contributors and the also-rans are emerging.

From the press bench it’s clear who does their homework before a meeting and who does not, who fully understands issues and who does not and who is prepared to ask the extra question, push the issue to get the right conclusion.

The three committee chairs, Mr Brown, Mr Totty and Mr Wilson and deputy mayor Mr Nelson are the right men in the right places.

They’re solid performers and each has a stack of knowledge that some of the newer – and not so new – chums would do well to tap into.

It’s never easy being a new councillor, it’s a steep learning curve and one year down the track the four new chums have adapted to varying degrees.

There’s a massive amount to learn and while the old hands are happy to help, when it comes to the debating chamber it’s every man or woman for themselves.

Mr Beavan has slotted back into the role as though the threeyear gap between his terms did not exist and time away has done little to blunt the stick Mr Reveley uses to poke the edges of an argument.

And the two new councillors, Mr Ellis and Mr Urquhart?

Neither is a big contributor to debates, but both are clearly watching and learning.

In the middle there are the midtermers – Don McLeod, Donna Favel, Martin Nordqvist and Ken Cutforth; of those Mr McLeod is the number one riser.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em we put them there and to be fair, their lot

is not an easy one.

They put their necks on the line every time they vote, they’re paid less than $30,000 a year and for that they’re expected to turn up most days to meetings, subcommittee meetings, workshops and ceremonies and events. Often their council days are long and just as often they’ll spend almost a full week on the job. And the good ones do plenty of homework.

Their attendance record is impeccable and often they sit in on meetings that are not on their own schedule, just to keep up to speed with current issues. You can’t fault their dedication to the job.

This term is just one year old but already it’s been one of the most challenging and contentious on record. However, with the big issues all but put to bed, it remains to be seen whether the big 12 can settle down and work together for some solid outcomes for this district.

L

ooks like the district is speaking. We don’t want a new $7 million art gallery!

(Ashburton Online, 30 May 2011)

What does Ashburton think of its new art gallery and museum?

On the evidence of reports in the media, interviews with residents and online opinion polls – not very much. Over the past four years the town has voiced a collective and aggressive attitude towards the very idea of a public art gallery, frequently accompanied by opinions that reveal an antipathy towards the visual arts. For anyone unfamiliar with the Ashburton community the attitudes of its residents might lead them to believe that the arts are nothing but a damn nuisance.

Of course, art and culture in most rural New Zealand towns tends to struggle for wider community support; strongly dependent on volunteers, limited capital items and usually a handful of dedicated arts enthusiasts responsible for ensuring that the doors of their gallery are opened each day.

So, a number of the challenges that supporters of the new art gallery face in Ashburton are no different from many other rural towns. But, the Ashburton community is also like no other when it comes to the arts, demonstrating a consistently high level of hostility since the announcement by the Ashburton District Council to build a new gallery in 2011.

In May, 2011, there was an

immediate and unnecessary division of opinion over the decision fuelled by the council’s announcement to also build a sports stadium.

Perceived as potential competition for ratepayers’ money, the proposed gallery became the target of a debate about art verses sport.

Residents made it clear that if it came to a choice they did not want an art gallery. An online vote overwhelmingly favoured the sports stadium. However, most surprising and unfortunate of all during this exchange of opinion was the public announcement by the principal of Ashburton College Grant McMillan

that he supported the sports stadium. How did staff at the local high school teaching subjects related to the humanities and the arts feel about such a statement? Where did this place the school’s support for the arts and its commitment to the greater well-being of its students?

And currently there is the outrage over the additional blowout in costings.

In such circumstances, anger from local ratepayers is not an unreasonable response. (Although it should be noted that building community facilities anywhere in New Zealand tends to be characterised by overspending).

Ashburton represents one more example of ratepayers’ money appearing to have been poorly managed and too easily spent by local government.

Yet, even in this instance, criticisms have been characterised by repeated claims that the arts are a waste of money.

Many locals are maintaining that any additional funds needed for the gallery could have been better spent on other amenities: “How sad our children miss out on a hydro slide! Remind me again who actually wanted the art gallery?”

The arts in Ashburton seem to be cornered by an angry lynching mob. Everything about the

arts spells trouble. What do residents think of the architectural merit of the new gallery?

Another opportunity for abuse: “It could at least be painted a colour that doesn’t look like poo.

Blowing our money in all the wrong places.”

If such objections were simply a one-off response to a decision about building a new gallery, residents could rightly argue that it is unfair to be singling them out as culturally uninformed or hostile towards the arts. Yet in reality, this debate represents evidence of an ingrained attitude that runs much deeper over generations.

The sustained objections of

art gallery it deserves

the Ashburton community to a new gallery is simply confirmation of a long-standing tradition of repressing the arts.

Even Europe’s most famous and influential artists have not been exempt from the judgement and damnation of Ashburton.

A survey exhibition of French sculpture, Rodin and his Contemporaries toured New Zealand in 1968 with Ashburton added to its itinerary at the last moment, and opening in the town’s newlybuilt public library.

Ashburton became host to work by European masters like Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso and Pierre Renoir.

Founding member of the

Ashburton Art Society, Kath von Tunzelmann (1923-2008), recalled in 2008 that the Ashburton District Council was shocked by the inclusion of sculptures of naked figures.

An “adults only” restriction was placed on the section of the library in which the works were displayed and in spite of her letter of protest to the Ashburton Guardian the restriction remained.

Arguably, it might seem reasonable to maintain that in 1968 the decision was in the best moral interests of the town’s children. Yet, essentially it was a verdict made by a community uninformed about art and culture

that felt threatened by an experience of something entirely alien to them: European art and modernism revealing the dignity and beauty of the human form.

In 1996, a sculpture by Christchurch artist Llew Summers of two naked figures embracing was placed in Baring Square and quickly became the subject of protest. Titled Love Me Tender, it was almost as though Summers’ sculpture was requesting that Ashburton accepts and engages seriously with the artist’s work and the arts.

Could the local art community and Summers have expected any response to the sculpture, apart from the town’s residents de-

manding it be removed?

After all, Picasso had already been dealt to, so Summers should probably have known better, but at least he was in good artistic company.

But aren’t Ashburton residents currently justified in their anger over the council’s decision to run so far over budget with the new gallery? Up to a point.

All ratepayers have a right to expect the income that they provide to their local council is considered seriously and spent wisely. But councils also have a duty to address the wider needs of the residents that they are elected to serve. In the decision to build a new art gallery for the people of Ashburton, its councillors are following a well-established tradition of local government, caring for the wider health and wellbeing of their residents – whether they may recognise it or not.

In Christchurch July, 1907, debate raged over its city councillors’ decision to provide an annual grant of £50 ($100) to purchase works of art to build a public collection for the city. The art works acquired over a period of more than 20 years now make up the founding collection of the Christchurch Art Gallery. In 1907 not everyone could see the merit of such a decision. A Press editorial came to the council’s defence with a commentary that even today provides a perspective on why the arts should be taken seriously. The Press observed: “A city council does not discharge its highest mission unless it assists in the intellectual development of the people… [in doing so it recognises] a higher duty than that of merely looking after the streets and footpaths and drains of the city, excellent and necessary as is this portion of their work.”

In Christchurch, February 2014, at the conclusion of a three-month arts programme

of public art and music in the ReStart container mall in the central city, a survey was held to measure the value of such an event for visitors and residents. It found that 70 per cent of those in ReStart over the previous four weekends agreed strongly that the arts were central to the rebuild of Christchurch.

This should come as no surprise. English philosopher Alain de Botton, the author of numerous books on how to live well (including Status Anxiety) observes that as flawed humanbeings, we are all too ready to dwell on our unhappiness, we too often lose sight of what is of value for imagined attractions elsewhere.

Art teaches us to look and reflect on our lives and circumstances. Botton comments: “Art can teach us how to look with kinder and more alert eyes at the world around us ... teach us to be more just towards ourselves: a job we do not always love, the imperfections of middle age, our frustrated ambitions.

Art can do the opposite of glamorising the unattainable; it can reawaken us to the genuine merit of life as we’re forced to live it.”

The very thing that Ashburton seemed united against exists to enlighten and improve the quality of its residents’ lives.

If there is any good news in the relationship that the Ashburton community currently has with the arts it is evident in comments from visitors who came to the new gallery on its recent open day. One thousand and 100 people queued to get in and described it as a “wonderful facility”, “amazing” and “really cool”.

Like all public galleries in New Zealand the success of the Ashburton gallery’s relationship with the audiences that it serves will reside - not with the building and its resources - but the quality of its programme and its delivery to an engaged local community.

Whatever that outcome may be – positive or negative – Ashburton will ultimately get the art gallery that its residents deserve.

In brief Serial killer arrested Brazilian police announced yesterday they had captured a man who confessed to 39 murders.

The man’s lawyer said his client was coerced into confessing crimes he didn’t commit.

Investigator Norton Ferreira in the city of Goiania said police had linked a gun found in the home of suspect Tiago Rocha to the killings of at least six women this year.

Ferreira said that since being arrested on Tuesday, the 26-yearold Rocha had confessed to at least 33 other killings in the country’s midwest dating back to early 2013, including several other young women and some homeless people.

Ebola – the world reacts

By NiNa LarsoN Western countries are scrambling to review safety measures at airports and borders amid a mounting wave of fear that West Africa’s Ebola outbreak will spread worldwide.

As US lawmakers grilled officials over how an infected nurse was allowed to board a crowded flight, European officials promised a review of how passengers from ebola-hit countries are screened.

The World Health Organisation vowed to ramp up its efforts to help 15 African countries defend themselves against the virus, which has already killed around 4500 people.

France and Spain placed several potential victims under observation and in Liberia, the worst hit country so far, the minister of transport placed herself in quarantine after her driver died.

EU health commissioner Tonio Borg said the bloc would

review exit screening of travellers from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, in co-ordination with the WHO. And EU health ministers, meeting in Brussels, agreed to co-ordinate measures at entry points to the 28-member region, although any decision on screening for ebola rests with individual European countries.

A string of health workers have been evacuated back to Europe from Africa with ebola, but the only confirmed case of transmission on the continent so far is a Spanish nurse in Madrid.

Doctors in Spain have identified six more cases of possible infection, including a missionary priest who recently returned from Liberia and has shown signs of fever.

And in France, a nurse who had earlier helped treat a returning ebola patient was taken to a military hospital with what an official called a “suspect fever” - though initial

tests for the virus came back negative.

In the US, two nurses who treated a Liberian traveller have now fallen ill, to the embarrassment of health authorities, who faced questioning about how the disease spread.

Nursing unions claim the Texas hospital where the caregivers work had been illprepared, and legislators are angry that one of the patients was allowed to take a domestic flight despite mild fever symptoms.

As of Sunday, 4493 people had died out of a total of 8997 cases in the outbreak, according to the WHO, which has warned that the infection rate could reach 10,000 a week by early December.

The vast majority of the cases have been in Liberia and its neighbours Sierra Leone and Guinea, which are also at the centre of WHO efforts to contain the disease.

Eleven other African coun-

tries had also been singled out for special assistance.

“We need to make sure it doesn’t spread to other countries,” Isabelle Nuttall, head of the WHO’s alert and response arm, told reporters in Geneva.

Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan delivered stinging criticism of the world’s response, charging that wealthy countries were slow to tackle the crisis because it began in Africa.

“If the crisis had hit some other region it probably would have been handled very differently,” the Ghanaian diplomat told the flagship BBC programme Newsnight.

Airports in Britain, Canada and the US have already introduced stepped-up screening of travellers arriving from West Africa.

Senior US legislators overseeing homeland security also joined calls on Wednesday for a temporary ban on all travel from west Africa.

Pakistan court upholds blasphemy sentence A Pakistani court has upheld the death sentence of a Christian woman whose 2010 conviction for blasphemy led to the assassination of two politicians who supported her, a defence lawyer said yesterday.

Asia Bibi, a 50-year-old mother of five, had appealed before the Lahore High Court against the ruling, in which she was found guilty of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, but the court rejected her ap-

peal, her lawyer said.

“We have the right to appeal in 30 days, and we will continue this legal battle by approaching the Supreme Court of Pakistan,” Sardar Mushtaq said.

Bibi’s case drew global criticism in 2011 when Pakistan’s minister for minorities Shahbaz Bhatti and eastern Punjab governor Salman Taseer were killed for supporting her and opposing blasphemy laws. Ta-

seer was killed in the capital Islamabad by one of his police guards after visiting Bibi in jail.

Bhati was killed months later by the Pakistani Taliban, who called him an “infidel Christian”.

Mushtaq said Bibi was arrested after Muslim women told a cleric in a village in the eastern Punjab province that she had made “derogatory remarks” about the prophet. He

said the trouble began when the women objected to Bibi using their drinking glass because she was not a Muslim, setting off a heated verbal exchange.

“We have a strong case, and we will try our best to save her life,” he said.

International and local human rights groups have called for amending blasphemy laws introduced by Muhammad Ziaul-Haq in the 1980s.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin is meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and key Western leaders in an attempt to negotiate a full end to hostilities in Ukraine that could ease sanctions against Russia. Putin met separately with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has insisted that Russia fully respect a Ukraine cease-fire deal signed last month that has reduced hostilities but not stopped all fighting. The Kremlin, in a readout on the nearly 2½-hour meeting, said the leaders emphasised the need to separate the warring sides in eastern Ukraine and talked about monitoring the cease-fire.

They continued to disagree on the roots of the conflict. The meetings are on the sidelines of an ASEM summit of more than 50 Asian and European leaders in the Italian city of Milan.

Genocide trial The first trial on charges of genocide against Cambodia’s brutal 1970s Khmer Rouge regime opened yesterday with a prosecutor saying it will show that Cambodians were enslaved in inhumane conditions that led to the deaths of 1.7 million people.

Khieu Samphan, the regime’s head of state, and Nuon Chea, right-hand man to the communist group’s late leader, Pol Pot, already received life sentences in August after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. They have appealed their convictions.

The UN-backed tribunal split the cases into two trials for fear that Samphan, 83, and Chea, 88, could die before any proceedings against them could be completed.

Tropical storm conditions should begin today and the eye of Gonzalo was expected to be near Bermuda by later today, forecasters said. “This hurricane is a large storm, and we should expect at least 24 hours of stormforce winds,” Premier Michael Dunkley said.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Rainer irrigation The company has evolved over the last quarter century, from humble beginnings to what is now the largest, privately owned, irrigation company in New Zealand, employing 90 staff locally. Many of which have been with the company for over a decade.

Rainer Irrigation cut it’s teeth with the RotoRainer and went on to sell more than 4500 in New Zealand and around the globe. With technology advance-

ments, and to meet efficiency demands, the company turned its attention to centre pivot irrigation approximately 13 years ago. Since then, Rainer Irrigation has become one of the leading centre pivot suppliers.

Rainer Irrigation prides themselves in being early adopters of new efficiency creating innovations, something which helps maintain their position at the forefront of the irrigation industry.

“It’s not just about supplying the latest gadget available, it’s about installing the right equipment to suit the application” Rainer Irrigation’s 25 years in the industry equates to a considerable amount of specialised knowledge and experience, experience that has proved very valuable recently when the company applied and were successful in achieving Irrigation Design accreditation.

“Being the first, and currently, the only irrigation company with Irrigation Design accreditation shows our commitment to the industry, and to our clients.

It provides reassurance to the customer.

They know we will, and are obligated to design, supply and install an irrigation system that is fit for purpose and meets the standards of the irrigation design code of practise.”

And the journey to reach that elusive milestone begins with two ODIs against the Black Caps at Mount Maunganui’s Bay Oval next Tuesday and Thursday. Proteas coach Russell Domingo was impressed with Bay Oval as his team held their first training yesterday. “Look, it is beautiful here. We have all played in Auckland and Hamilton before so it is good to get out to a new venue,” Domingo said.

“Every game now leading into the World Cup is going to be important for us.”

Boyle eyes Doha World record safely tucked away, Lauren Boyle’s eyes are now turning to Doha, Qatar.

That’s the venue for the world short course championships in December. First there’s time for celebration, after New Zealand’s champion swimmer finally had her world record time for 1500m, achieved in Wellington at the winter short-course champs in August, ratified by governing body Fina. Boyle clocked 15min 22.68s in the event, eclipsing her sometime training partner and international rival, Spain’s Mireia Belmonte Garcia’s record - NZH of 15:26.95.

Kiwi golfers steady All three Kiwis went under the card during the opening round of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on the PGA Tour in Las Vegas. Manawatu’s Tim Wilkinson was the bestplaced of the trio after he signed for a three-under 68 yesterday, which left him in a share of 19th, four strokes off the lead. Wilkinson’s fellow Kiwis Danny Lee and Steven Alker both finished with a oneunder 70.

Wozniacki to play Classic By kris shannon The bad news is the ASB Classic won’t see a repeat of this year’s dream final.

The good news, though, prevents the possibility of disappointment.

Caroline Wozniacki was yesterday announced as the tournament’s top seed, solidifying the front of a field that could eventually be one of the strongest ever.

Wozniacki is the second former world No 1 to be confirmed for January’s event, coming just two days after 2014 runner-up Venus Williams was locked in.

“To have two icons of women’s sport in general - let alone tennis - coming to Auckland is a great sign for this event,” said tournament organiser Karl Budge.

“It does show how respected we are and I think it’s got to be a great sign for the tournament and where we’ll go in the future as well.”

While the absence of Ana Ivanovic will preclude another battle between the Serb and Williams for the tournament title, Wozniacki’s inclusion represents a pretty decent consolation prize.

The 24-year-old was the world No 1 to end both 2010 and 2011 - spending 67 weeks in the top spot - before experiencing something of a decline.

Caroline Wozniacki: Top seed for the ASB Classic in Auckland.

But the Dane bounced back in impressive style this year, climbing back inside the world’s top 10 and reaching her second US Open final before losing to good friend Serena Williams.

Wozniacki’s involvement has been sought for some time by tournament organisers, with her high ranking being a stumbling block.

Those within the top 10 are

permitted to play only one international-level event in each half of the year, with Wozniacki finally convinced to make Auckland her stop.

“The moment I got the role she was one of the first people I had a chat to to see if we could bring her out,” Budge said.

“This is her one international-level tournament in the first six months of next year so for

her to make that commitment, when there are some big pay cheques around the traps, is pretty rewarding.”

The goal now for tournament organisers is to add some depth around Williams and Wozniacki.

Budge didn’t expect to make another big splash but he was still targeting more top-30 players.

World-ranked fighters ‘running’ from Parker

By Patrick Mckendry The Joseph Parker camp would like to leave Auckland for Las Vegas in a few days with the heavyweight’s next opponent preferably a world-ranked fighter - confirmed, but it’s proving to be a frustratingly difficult process.

The boxer’s promoter Dean Lonergan of Duco Events said after Parker beat Sherman Williams in a unanimous decision over 10 rounds at Trusts Arena on Thursday night that the best heavyweights were scared of fighting the 22-year-old for fear of tarnishing their records.

Parker himself said it might not be as simple as that, but, either way, his opponent for the main bout at the Fight for Life event in Hamilton on December 6 is yet to be organised and the clock is ticking.

“We’re in the middle of organising opponents for Joseph ... and I’ve got to tell you, it’s incredibly

hard, there’s a lot of people that we have put big-money offers into and they just won’t fight him,” Lonergan said.

“There are a number of guys in the top 10 walking away going ‘no thanks’.

“Lucas Browne is one of them, Travis Kauffman is another.”

Lonergan said: “It’s very, very frustrating.

“We’ve put a lot of pressure on our match-maker Stuart Duncan and he’s out there combing the world.

“I’d like to think in the very near future, before Joe goes home we’ll have someone in the bag.”

Parker, who looked fresh and unmarked after going 10 rounds for the first time in his career, said later: “I don’t think people are running.

“A lot of them are already busy and already scheduled to fight again.”

His victory over the tough Williams, which allowed him to retain his WBA PABA and

Joseph Parker with his trainer Kevin Barry.

WBO Oriental heavyweight titles and extended his record to 11-0, keeps him on track for a world title fight in the near future.

In August before Parker comfortably beat journeyman Keith Thompson in Pennsylvania, Lonergan suggested the South Aucklander would be aiming for a title fight next year, but that has been pushed out to probably 2016 at the earliest.

Barry said: “Dean would like us fighting for a world title next month but for me it’s more like 18 months to two years.”

Parker, ranked 11th in the WBO, was happy with his longterm strategy.

“At the schedule we’re going at the moment I’m happy we’re taking the right fights,” he said.

“I think if we keep training hard and developing my skills and techniques that in two years time I can be a better beast than I am now.”

Williams, 42, hit Parker with several overhand rights, but it was his ring-craft and unsettling tactics - hitting below the belt and after the bell and break which would have been valuable in terms of adding to Parker’s experience.

Despite that, Parker looked reasonably comfortable, the only disappointing element his inability to knock Williams out as promised.

Bay holds Taniwha The Magpies are into their third ITM Cup Championship final in four seasons, though nothing came easy for them in last night’s gnarly first semifinal. Hawke’s Bay gradually asserted themselves over the visiting Northland Taniwha to the tune of 26-21 at Napier’s McLean Park. The unerring boot of Ihaia West and a superior set-piece were key facets of the Magpies’ victory, though the final try tally stood at 3-2 Northland. Robbie Fruean sparked up, scoring a vintage try.

■ BASKETBALL

Breakers crack century mark The Breakers have done little to dampen expectations in the opening eight days of the new Australian NBL season.

A week after punishing defending champions Perth on their own court, the Breakers dismantled reigning runnersup Adelaide in stunning style at Vector Arena last night.

It was another performance out of the Breakers’ playbook of old, putting five players into double figures to create an unassailable lead before the fourth quarter.

And it was another performance to remind the fans just what they had been missing during the last campaign.

Nights like these were few and far between as the then-defending champs slumped to an 11-18 record.

But, with last night’s blowout now sitting alongside last week’s grinding victory, that season is feeling but a distant memory.

Just like last week, it was the men not mentally scarred by that second-last finish who were behind much of what the

Breakers were doing well.

Cedric Jackson followed his game-winning turn on Friday night with 15 points and three assists, warming up from range to become an unstoppable prospect for the Adelaide defence.

Nigerian big Ekene Ibekwe contributed 11 points and 11 boards and, based on what he’s shown in the opening two games, the double-double will be the first of many for the club.

But the old guard were also crucial to the victory.

Corey Webster equalled his career-high with 23 points to deliver on the promise he showed with the Tall Blacks while away at the World Cup, bouncing back from an injuryhit week one.

Webster’s output was key in establishing the Breakers’ big lead and, while he cooled off in the latter stages, the guard’s ability to score almost at will leaves him a major offensive weapon.

Tom Abercrombie was another to impress after recover-

ing from health concerns, playing an encouraging 21 minutes and grabbing 11 points and six boards.

It was no surprise, then, given the varying contributions, that the Breakers moved to 2-0.

But that prospect was never a sure thing when, after retiring CJ Bruton’s No 23 jersey, the Breakers started ice-cold.

Adelaide were allowed to shoot out to an 8-0 lead as the Breakers missed their first seven attempts from the floor, being held scoreless for two-and-ahalf minutes.

Compounding the home side’s problems was a porous defence in the paint, with the 36ers enjoying much of their early success close to the rim.

The Breakers immediately looked a better side after Abercrombie and Alex Pledger came into the game, with a pair of triples from Abercombie helping his side to a 21-5 run to close the second quarter.

Their nine-point advantage grew slowly in the second as the game was continually disrupted by the referees’ whistles.

In what was far from a dirty affair, 31 fouls were far too many, split evenly the break the rhythm of both sides.

Vukona was especially struggling, limited to just four minutes in the half, but that didn’t prevent the Breakers from leading by 11 at the major break.

If Adelaide were boosted by keeping the Breakers within touching distance at the major break, that boost was immediately quashed by Webster’s five quick points to open the third.

Not to be out-done by his back-court mate, Jackson came to life from beyond the arc in the third, draining thee of four as the Breakers’ advantage reached 26 points heading into the fourth.

While Adelaide reduced that to a worrying 10 at one points, the Breakers eventually ran away with another encouraging win.

In brief Retallic returns As Steve Hansen plots the response to an All Blacks loss for only the second time as head coach, the return of one player in particular is likely to gladden his heart. Brodie Retallick’s comeback from the concussion which ruled him out of the 27-25 defeat to the Springboks in Johannesburg will help fix some of the problems which put the All Blacks on the back foot for much of the first half at Ellis Park. Hansen’s men had issues with not only their lineout but also the breakdown, two areas of expertise for the man known as Guzzler, who has more elements to his game than a Swiss Army knife. Tonight’s test at Suncorp will be his 100th first-class game.

That is today’s ITM Cup semi-finals tasty scenario in the Premiership division.

They face fourth qualifiers Auckland, who have enjoyed success against Taranaki at Yarrow Stadium in the recent past. For those who confuse the fortunes of Blues rugby with Auckland, the province is into its fourth semifinal in the last five seasons, and has realistic designs on the silverware last claimed in 2007.

Unfinished busin

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

In Mid Canterbury’s run in to the finals, coach Glenn Moore spoke of a “gut feeling” that his side was building again in the Heartland Rugby Championship.

The Hammers have been in must win mode ever since a loss to top qualifiers Buller but it was that game that gave Moore the belief the side were gaining momentum.

They head into today’s semifinal against Poverty Bay in Gisborne on the back of three convincing wins.

Moore, who will leave after two seasons to be assistant coach at the Blues, started his Heartland tenure as coach with a big 31-12 win over the would-be wooden spooners and broke a run of three wins by Poverty Bay. There is some symmetry in the situation but Moore doesn’t want to bow out a week short of the final.

“I think we have another game in us yet,” he said.

“I still believe they have another 15 to 20 per cent in them and it all has to come together.

“We have a series of finals to play and need to chip away at it to get the job done.”

Moore has stuck to a winning formula with only one change to the side that took care of business against South Canterbury in Timaru.

Heartland under 19 representative Seta Koroitamana will start on the wing moving Willie McGoon to the bench, leaving only three forwards in the reserves and four backs, but Moore said that they were lucky to possess plenty of versatility in their squad.

I see Seta as a flanker but Willie couldn’t travel up with the team [yesterday] so we thought the best option was to go with the guys that are up here and fully rested.”

The Hammers have shown the willingness and ability to spread the ball and stretch the opposing defences, and will bring intensity to an at-times punishing defence.

They’ll need that defensive tenacity against a Poverty Bay side boasting plenty of attacking weapons, particularly the midfield combination of former All Black Rico Gear and Heartland XV representative TK Moeke – who has previously won the Meads Cup with Wanganui and East Coast.

They also have former All Black Hika Elliott and powerful number eight, Jake Paringatai, a former Crusader, Highlander and Maori All Black.

“They have got a big pack and good backs so it’s all set for a good encounter.”

The Mid Canterbury side boast some big guns of their own, with

Ashley-Cooper’s ton The legendary tale behind Adam Ashley-Cooper’s Wallabies debut has a few variations. The best version has Ashley-Cooper summoned from the stands, beer and meat pie in hand, tackling the Springboks in Perth after Elton Flatley pulled out during the warm-up. Then, a few years later, Ashley-Cooper admitted he may have been waiting for the beer and pie to be served up.

“Each time the story is told, there are more and more pies and beers,” he said ahead of his milestone 100th Test tonight against the All Blacks. “Let’s all run with it. I’ve forgotten what it was at the time but it was in a plastic cup. I had to knock it back quickly because I had to head down to the change rooms and not knowing what for, but they said to run. I finished it off pretty quickly.”

Murray Williams steering the ship and 2013 Heartland Player of the year Jon Dampney calling the shots.

The biggest thing in their favour is that the core of this team got the job done last year and will bring that big game experience to the table, as well as the confidence of convincingly beating their Hanan Shield rivals to get there.

The two sides haven’t met this year and interestingly Poverty Bay also hasn’t faced Buller or Wanganui.

They lost to both South Canterbury and North Otago, as well as last week’s draw with Horowhenua Kapiti which means they have only beaten one of the other top eight sides in King Country.

Mark Jackman will again be in the centres for Southland today.

Mark Jackman and the Southland Stags will have to put last week’s Ranfurly Shield heartbreak behind them when they take on the Manawatu Turbos in Palmerston North today.

An Ihia West dropped goal had Hawkes Bay snatch a late 23-all draw to keep the log for the summer.

The anguish for Southland may have made it hard to get back into their preparations during the week but will potentially add as motivation moving forward.

Mid Canterbury product Mark Jackman has retained his starting spot at centre after a strong showing against the classy Magpies midfield pairing of Robbie Fruean and Jason Shoemark.

Southland coach Brad Mooar,

who played three seasons with Mid Canterbury including the 1998 third division championship win, has stuck with the same 22 that drew with Hawkes Bay seven days ago.

Redemption is on the Stags mind.

The Stags, who sensationally lost to Mid Canterbury in their pre-season fixture, are still a chance to gain promotion to the premiership, after they were relegated in 2011.

They were beaten by Tasman 28-49 in Blenheim in last year’s semi-finals – with Tasman going on to win promotion with a Championship final win over Hawkes Bay. Southland were also beaten

by Counties Manukau 23-48 in Pukekohe the year before with the Steelers also going on to gain promotion a week later.

This year the Stags hope to not

outhland be the gateway to promotion, but the promoted party.

First they must take the wind out of the Turbos today.

Southland were well beaten by the Manawatu side a month ago in Palmerston North, 20-41, and if they can overturn that result they might just get a second crack at the Magpies in the final - depending on how they fared against Northland last night.

Manawatu finished as top qualifiers with only two losses, to Auckland in week two and North Harbour in week five coming into the playoffs with four straight wins, dating back to the big win over the Stags.

As well as looking to help extend his side’s season another week, Jackman will also be hoping to continue his good run of form with the Super Rugby franchises starting to put together their 2015 rosters.

Keeping it simple . . .

ormer Tasman tackling machine, Gary Redmond, is relishing his time in Mid Canterbury and wouldn’t mind a Meads Cup win to top off the season.

“That would be a nice way to finish the season off,” Redmond said.

Redmond has returned to his rugby roots this season to turn out for the Hammers in the Heartland Rugby Championship.

In his class at Mt Hutt College were fellow Hammers Brenton Connell, also a former Mako, and Matt Thatcher who turned out for Canterbury.

After moving to Christchurch and finding no way to crack the Canterbury top squad, Redmond spent three years in Tasman where he enjoyed regular game time.

After a strong campaign with Tasman, winning the Championship and promotion to the Premiership in last year’s ITM Cup, he decided to

move home to Methven.

“Just for a bit of a change,” Redmond said.

“I definitely enjoyed myself up there and got plenty of game time but I was a bit over full time footy.

“I’ve got a bit more down time and enjoying the more low-key footy.”

He was a standout in the Combined Country competition until he dislocated his elbow against Southbridge, an injury that had him miss the shield challenge against Counties Manukau.

“The elbow is all good now.

It doesn’t even need to be taped, its 100 per cent healed.”

Redmond has been in and out with a few other niggles in the campaign, but has showed his class every time he has taken the field.

Last week he was a menace against South Canterbury in another immense performance with some good carries, a big tackle count and several turnovers at the breakdown.

Having played at the top

level he has at times struggled with the adjudicating at the breakdown, seemingly being penalised for being too fast at pilfering.

“I like to think so but I’m sure they don’t see things the same way.”

Redmond believed that although the Heartland competition wasn’t as fast “the physicality is definitely still there” and he would know, throwing himself into everything.

He’ll need to be on his game against a potent Poverty Bay side that boasts some big name players – particularly ex-All Blacks Rico Gear and Hika Elliott.

Redmond isn’t daunted.

“Poverty Bay have quite a bit of talent by the sound of it but we just have to knock over their ball carriers, make the gain line and spin the ball wide.”

It’s a simple game plan that has worked a treat the last few weeks, and if Redmond has anything to do with it will be successful again today.

Hansen keeping ABs focused

By GreGor PauL There was a tell-tale edge in Steve Hansen’s voice when he barked his orders at the All Blacks’ final training run of the week.

The Thursday session has become a big part of this All Black side’s preparation - it is when they knock each other about, put the match day 23 under pressure and get minds focused.

Hansen’s mind was definitely focused. The usual smiles, banter and curious love of shadow boxing men he couldn’t possibly hope to fight for real, weren’t evident until business time was over.

There’s room to apply some old Soviet thinking when it comes to tests - they are all equal, but some are more equal than others.

This week is one of the latter.

It is the gateway test that, based on previous experience, has had a significant impact on setting the tone for the final leg of the season.

For all that has been achieved under Hansen, the respective back ends of 2012 and 2013 were not the grand finales the All Blacks were after.

The All Blacks had the look of a 400m runner who’d taken the first 300m too fast desperately trying to hold it together down the back straight.

In 2012 they were loose and lacklustre in Brisbane in this equivalent game and never lifted much from there.

They were able to beat Scotland and Italy because who couldn’t, and then they dug out a decent effort against Wales be-

fore going splat against England.

It was much the same last year: after a not particularly impressive display against Japan, they were average against France, found a big game to beat England and then used their courage, belief and sheer willpower to somehow see off Ireland.

The pattern has been broken by defeat at Ellis Park and so Hansen wants to see the next five weeks play out differently.

The edge to his voice at training was there because he wants a line drawn under Johannesburg.

He wants the All Blacks to climb steadily to an impressive crescendo in Cardiff - for there to be no doubt that his side is not once again watching the chasing pack get uncomfortably close in the rear mirror.

Perry’s side out to make history

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Tim Perry is keen to have a “good crack” at his Crusaders team-mates in tonight’s ITM Cup premiership semi-final in Nelson.

The Tasman Makos prop is coming off a two-week layoff with a calf injury to take on the six-time defending champions Canterbury.

Perry had to watch Tasman’s historic first win over ‘big brother’ Canterbury in Christchurch a fortnight ago from home in Nelson after injuring his calf against Otago.

“I haven’t done much that last couple weeks just to let it heal up apart from a bit of swimming to keep the fitness up,” Perry said.

“I got through training the last few days. I can run and got through the scrummaging without too much hassle so I’ll give it a crack.”

Perry is one of nine changes to the Tasman line-up from last week’s loss to Counties Manukau for potentially the biggest game in Tasman’s brief nine-year history.

“We had a few niggles and they wanted to get everyone back up to 100 per cent.”

Earlier this year Perry had some injury troubles after picking up a niggling foot problem in the midweek international against England.

He was then unrequired by the Crusaders and instead helped Rakaia to the Watters Cup win before he returned to the Makos for his third season.

The return of the big guns adds some teeth to the Makos while Canterbury lost the services of Colin Slade to All Black duties, and Dan Carter’s continued absence, but their playoff history speaks for itself with six consecutive titles.

Perry will be back in red and black in the 2015 Super 15 after signing a two-year deal last year.

The Crusaders are still likely to boast Wyatt Crockett and Joe Moody but with both as current All Blacks and in the frame for the World Cup their role over the Super 15 could be minimised, opening up more playing time for Perry.

The Super 15 is still is something for him to worry about in the New Year.

Today his only concern is with getting one up in the franchise battle, and putting an end to Canterbury’s sixyear ITM Cup reign.

Cool reception expected

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON The crowd will tell you when Wellington Phoenix forward Michael McGlinchey touches the ball tonight.

The boos and jeers will likely ring out across Central Coast Stadium in Gosford as the former Mariners player makes a return to his old homeground for the first time.

McGlinchey’s eventual arrival at the Wellington Phoenix was one of the more bizarre storylines of the A-League’s offseason and the bitter tug-of-war left a sour taste with both clubs.

The Phoenix eventually got their man, but it has probably created a mini-rivalry between the Mariners and Wellington in the process.

“I’m not sure how it’s going to play out,” McGlinchey said of the potential reception from Mariners fans.

“If it is [negative] then so be it. But I had a fantastic time at the Mariners; it’s a great club.

“I was there for five years and they were very successful, so I’ll always look back on my time there

with some happy memories.”

Phoenix skipper Andrew Durante had a different stance though and welcomed an irate Mariners crowd.

“It’ll be great,” he said with a grin.

“It’s great for the league when stuff like this happens, there’s controversy, the players leave other clubs and then they’re the most-hated players. Michael served the Mariners really well.

“It’s going to add spice to the game and we are all looking forward to going out there.”

And Durante’s thoughts were different to

those of Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick.

“His focus will be just on playing football,” Merrick said of McGlinchey.

“I would hope the fans don’t boo him but that’s their prerogative.

“He’s just a good lad who always performs well for his team.

“There’s certainly no animosity on his part.”

Crowd antics aside, Wellington need to make a sharp improvement from their season-opening 2-1 loss to Perth last Sunday.

Central Coast, often the quiet achievers of the A-League, opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over the Newcastle Jets last weekend and are traditionally a tough side to break down.

We l l i n g ton’s greatest concern will be around gaining control in the midfield where they were overwhelmed at Michael times

by Perth.

McGlinchey

“I don’t think we got the structure of our defensive roles in the midfield right, and that’s partly my fault,” Merrick said.

The Phoenix conceded a league-worst 51 goals last summer but Merrick didn’t want to make comparisons to last season.

“It’s always a concern when you give away goals cheaply but this is a different team from last year and it’s a team that’s going to continue to improve.”

Changes are unlikely within the starting XI, although Kenny Cunningham has returned from suspension and may make an appearance on the bench, which could help the Phoenix late in the game as they search for an attacking point of difference.

■ OPINION

The Hayne Plane is leaving the airport

I

could have easily written my allotted 500 words about Bathurst last Sunday - was it not an absolute classic?

The eventual winner had been into the wall already - usually a death knell - and was running second to one of the best drivers around in the final lap, until the leader ran out of gas, with the chequered flag in sight!

That’s fairytale stuff.

Veitch called it the best sporting event he’s ever seen. That might be a tad overboard, but hey, he’s on the right track.

And the young Kiwis had their chances . . . maybe next year.

No, there’s some other action across the ditch that deserves a look, even though the playing bit of the season has actually ended, and that’s the latest disaster to land on the NRL’s doorstep.

While Johnathan Thurston remains the best player going around, this year he had to share the Dally M (so clumsily and long-windedly awarded by Russell Crowe) with another mega-star, by the name of Jar-

ryd Hayne.

Now while Thurston runs the whole game, every part of it, Hayne is more the man who provides the uber-moments, the magic bits that win matches, and also win the ratings battles.

He does that regularly for the Eels, the Blues and the Kangaroos.

So when he dropped the nuclear bombshell that he was off to try his luck at American football, the blokes sitting around the table at NRL headquarters blinked.

A lot.

Just didn’t see that one coming at all.

That made it a trifecta of their game’s poster boys gone in a flash.

One of their biggest issues is that the usual biggest issue isn’t money, and if that sounds a little obfuscatory, then that’s because it is.

Sonny Bill is off chasing his dream, although his shark-like agent will undoubtedly be making sure there are a few pennies at the end of every rainbow that he touches.

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

Sam Burgess is chasing his own dream, to see if he can make it to the highest level (the World Cup) in rugby, and now the Hayne Plane is taking off, also in search of a dream, and in this case the rarified atmosphere of the NFL. But for him it’s a little different, it’s a leap into the unknown, a huge risk, with no guaranteed pot of gold at the end of it all. The NRL was prepared to throw millions at him (and the others), but the money simply wasn’t a bargaining chip any more.

It’s a massive leap of faith in himself for Hayne; he’s 26 years old, heading into a sport he’s never played, trying out for a spot (and he doesn’t even know what spot that would be) against literally thousands of young

Americans who have spent their entire lives to this point devoted to reaching the same spot, and they’ve all known exactly what specialised position they’re chasing all that time.

They’re all humungous guys who, as a bonus, can put in 10.5second 100-metre dashes.

His chances of getting anywhere near a run for one of the big teams is rated by most informed observers as close to the zero mark - but he’s still backing his own skills and talents to get himself noticed, and employed.

And possibly the biggest issue of them all for the bigwigs what if he does succeed?

Will the NRL suddenly be swamped with large Americans with larger chequebooks, plundering the best young league talent with irresistible offers of fantastic riches and unbelievable lifestyles?

Yes, it will.

In their favour, if there’s any sport that knows how to recover from repeated, serious body blows, self-inflicted or not, Australian rugby league is it.

■ ASHBURTON GALLOPS

Coupland Stakes the highlight The Ray Coupland Stakes is the feature race on the Ashburton Racing Club’s programme on Saturday and many of the winners over the years have gone onto much greater heights.

What has changed over the past 10 years or so is the increased representation of North Island horses contesting the race as owners and trainers have looked at the best way of getting to the Guineas races at Riccarton and of gaining much needed black type for upgrading breeding stock.

This year six of the 12 acceptors are from the north. A common factor has been the presence of Te Akau Racing Stables winning six of the last 11 editions.

In fact last year they quinellaed the event and the winner Costa Viva went on to take out

M6

the 1000 Guineas while the runner-up Chambord filled a similar position in the 2000 Guineas.

This year they have two worthy contestants in Darci’s Dream, a comfortable winner of the listed Canterbury Belle Stakes last start and Flaming who was tested in strong company as a 2yo and who flashed home for a highly creditable second to the high class O’Marilyn in the recent Gold Trail Stakes.

Both fillies race as though the 1400m journey here should be even more advantageous.

Of course there are often other North Island trained horses that are competitive and in fact Riding Shotgun the highest rated colt in the field could well be favourite.

Best of the southern brigade

is likely to be Elusive Catch.

Racing starts at 12.25 and locals could have an early victory with Coup Secrecy likely to appreciate the staying trip in its third start this campaign for the Champion/Murphy stable.

Most opposition should come from Mr Spiderman, so impressive at Riccarton in a fast run race, and Florence Hilton who was perhaps a run short in the same event.

The open 1600m has drawn a classy line-up and top weight The Solitaire has proven form against some of NZ’s best weight for age horses. Absolute Excellencia won easily at Timaru and should be in the finish.

The EA Networks Ashburton Cup provides the winner an opportunity to get directly into the South’s richest sprint,

the Stewards, and an even field face the starter.

Too Much Torque should provide a good sight and can win at respectable odds. Dr Dee Bee is the likely leader and having won five on the home course is always a chance.

Fritzy Boy has travelled a long way for this while Shroud has form on the board.

The final race of the 60K quaddie contains numerous winning chances. Miss Alice has the one draw, in-form Chris Johnson to ride and a strong season debut win under its belt to suggest it can step up and take this out.

A great day out with free entry is being offered and it is a chance to take in the spectacle of racing. Children are well catered for and Matt Markham will be the birdcage presenter for the day.

Jimmy Johnstone chasing cup repeat

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Several contenders for this year’s New Zealand Trotting Cup will be on show in the Methven Cup field at the Mt Harding Raceway tomorrow.

Under a month out from New Zealand harness racing’s biggest race some candidates will take to the grass track for the $35,000 Mountain River Processors Methven Cup, the eighth race of 12 on the day.

As of Wednesday’s latest rankings Franco Ledger, Smolda, Four Starzzz Flash and Jimmy Johnstone are in the top 15 to race for New Zealand biggest race on November 11. Lewy Risk and Pass them By are still in the running to move up into the field while Pure Power, Bit of a Legend and Jason Rulz have all withdrawn from Cup contention but help make up a strong field at Methven.

John Hay drove Jimmy Johnstone to the Methven Cup win last year but the last horse to win the Methven Cup and then go on and win the New Zealand Cup was Flashing Red in 2006.

Accessing finance to grow your business

S

mall and medium businesses often find it difficult to realise their vision for expansion due to a lack of finance.

A shortage of working capital can reduce the rate a business can grow and needs to be planned for correctly.

Firstly, you need to clearly define your business needs before determining the type of capital that best suits your situation.

There are a lot of different finance options available and your ability to access these de-

Matt Hannah

BUSINESS MATTERS

pends on a number of factors.

A lending institution or investor will look at your stage of business development, level of risk, how quickly you need funding, the business sector and what your business needs to fund.

Lending from a bank is an obvious option but you may want to look at getting a venture capitalist or business angel on board to provide equity finance.

Asset finance is a sensible way of obtaining plant or equipment through leasing arrangements, rather than an outright purchase.

There are also grants and other funding programmes available from government organisations such as New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.

These are particularly relevant for research and develop-

ment projects. Depending on the scale of the grant, you may need to engage with a specialist to develop your bid.

Securing the right finance is linked to asking the right questions – why you need it, when you need it and how you will manage your capital needs.

You should start by looking at the least expensive and least dilutive options first.

It is sensible to work with a trusted professional to help navigate through the options to get the right outcome for your business.

Regardless of the type of finance you are looking for, it is important to make sure your business is well positioned and not take finance for granted.

You need to have a clear business plan and strategy in place that is directly linked to your funding request.

Essentially, your business story must be compelling before it is presented to a bank, other lenders or investors.

Charlie and Esma Hill from CharRees Vineyard are celebrating after two of their wines were awarded bronze medals in the 2014 International Aromatic Wines Competition.

Two medals for wines

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Charlie Hill already knew his wine was good, but soon, he’ll have the medals to prove it.

Mr Hill and his wife Esma, the owners of CharRees Vineyard just south of Tinwald, entered two wines in the 2014 International Aromatic Wine Competition, held in conjunction with the Canterbury A&P Show, and both have won bronze medals.

The wines were their 2013 Pinot Gris and their 2013 Riesling and soon the bottles will feature medal stickers boasting their success.

“We are just chuffed. I have to say that we were a bit nervous about entering because we had

only just got them bottled,” Mr Hill said.

“They had only been bottled for three weeks and usually we leave it for at least six to eight weeks before we starting showing our wines after bottling.”

But they’d tasted it, and they’d shown the wine at a couple of tastings, and the feedback had been good so they decided to give it a go, entering the day before entries closed.

In 2011 CharRees’ 2010 Pinot Gris also won a bronze in the awards. “And last year we entered and they told us we missed by one point to get the bronze,” Mr Hill said.

The wines were tasted and scored by seven judges and al-

AN EVENING WITH ROBBIE

though Mr Hill was confident the 2013 varieties were better than 2012’s, different judges with different tastes meant anything was possible.

They liked it though and for Mr Hill, it was a satisfying reward after what had been a couple of tough seasons. Combine that with the fact that some believed that good wine couldn’t be produced in Ashburton – not a renowned wine ground – and the Hills haven’t had it easy.

But they know they’re capable of producing wines and now, hopefully more people will listen to them.

They’ll be taking that wine to the Ashburton and Christchurch A&P shows.

OUR VIEW

UN seat a good thing Stu Oldham

EDITOR

A

s strange as this may sound, New Zealand having a seat at the United Nations’ Security Council might knock-on to more economic security for Mid Canterbury.

A place at the top table sets our diplomats shoulder-toshoulder with those from the world’s most powerful nations and it gives our country a different kind of access to the economies that matter.

New Zealand will hold the seat for two years and, in that time, the little-countrythat-could will be one of the influencers courted by other nations. New doors may open and old doors may open wider.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully – who, it must be said, has been single-minded in his determination to win a place on the council – suggests having a seat would help New Zealand’s interests.

He is right in that it presents another chance to talk to countries about trade and economic relationships but it is also a chance to follow through on macro-political, diplomatic concerns.

New Zealand has consistently voiced strong views about the United Nations’ near paralysis in the face of crises in the likes of Iraq and Syria, and its meandering response to tensions in Ukraine.

It is also one of a growing number of independent states that have consistently lobbied for changes to the anachronistic power of veto available to the five permanent members.

These positions made New Zealand an attractive proposition to those that voted it on to the council. Our independence – and our record of working with small states – set us apart.

New Zealand will be scrutinised for how it sticks to the positions that helped win it a place on the council and it is important that its reputation for an independent foreign policy is maintained.

Doing so will enhance its global standing and reinforce the long-developed notion that this is a country worth trusting.

And with trust will come even more international relationships that have less to do with conflict and more to do with security.

YOUR VIEW Parent support SANDS: Stillbirths and neo-natal death syndrome is a subject that is still a bit taboo, but there are so many out there that have lost a baby that have no support.

Did you know there was a rememberance day on Oct 15 where families around the world lit candles for the babies they have lost?

Losing a baby is something that stays in your heart forever, it’s not something you get over, or can forget it ever happened.

In a lot of cases there are no answers to why a baby dies and this can be very hard for a woman to feel it will be okay with another pregnancy. In other cases there may be a medical reason and the woman will get help to understand what to ex-

CRUMB

pect if they go through another pregnancy.

There is usually a lot of grief and anger after a loss. You tend to hide your feelings more as time goes by!

The other side of losing a baby is that you can have great support from family and friends, but it can be hard for them to understand exactly what you feel.

Some friends disappear as they can’t deal with it and they don’t seem to realise you are still the same person you always were, but you have lost a baby.

I am new here and have found there is no support group in Ashburton! I am wondering if there are any women that would be interested in starting a support group or even just a group that gets together for a

Sliding, riding The merits of having a hydroslide or a flowrider at the new EA Networks centre has been on the minds of many people commenting on the Guardian’s Facebook page: [A hydroslide] would be good for the kids but who will end up paying for it once CHCH rebuild their pool, which will be bigger better and probably cheaper. If that’s the case, better off spending the money on building the rest of the complex with sports grounds.

Heath Lyttle A flowrider would be so much

more fun! Hydroslides are so overdone in New Zealand.

There’s one in every town. Let’s think outside the box and come up with something that will both be mega fun for us and put our town on the map!

Sophie-Claire Violette Yes, yes, yes – the kids will LOVE that, so will us adults – and then bring the rollerskating rink back that used to be here years ago.

Di Cuthbertson This town definitely needs something fun for the kids to do.

Andrea Scott A flowrider would be so much cooler than a hydroslide.

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

W

hat do a recordbreaking fleece, upcycled wardrobes and Paradise have in common?

All featured on the off-thebeaten-track itinerary when my mother and I headed out on a South Island road trip last week to explore some littleknown Otago gems.

Domestic tourism is often under-rated – when Hawaiian sunshine beckons, the rain of the West Coast or the sandflies of the Routeburn track find it hard to compete.

Persevere with New Zealand though and it’s surprising what kinds of unique oddities are waiting just to make your day.

The highlight of our trip had to be Tarras, home of the most famous sheep in New Zealand.

After being discovered encased in a record-breaking 24kg fleece, Shrek was received by the Prime Minister, toured around A&P shows, authored a book, and even visited Antarctica (sort of). Visit the House of Shrek and you’ll find a giant display that pays homage to the sheep that was shorn on an iceberg.

There are shots of the sheepy crampons, newspaper clippings about the berg itself, and even the fleece that was clipped on the icy hunk.

Shrek passed away in 2011, and his taxidermied fleece is due to go on display in Wellington’s Te Papa at the end of this month.

Still, the two picture books and full-length illustrated biography of the sheep that weighed down my luggage on the way home mean his story will stay alive in our household for years to come.

This was a road trip, so having scoped out Tarras we hit the tarmac and headed for Wanaka. No visit to the resort town would be complete without a stop at the inland cousin of our own local centre for pre-loved bric-a-brac: Wastebusters.

While we had no pressing need for doors or a pre-loved

exercycle, we did spend hours perusing the books, and came away with both strange looks and some real treasures.

When you go on tour with a librarian, books feature highly on the agenda.

My excitement at the Shrek displays and ‘wasties’ was rivalled only by my mum’s delight at finding a collection of children’s books by boutique NZ publisher Gecko Press in Glenorchy, on the very border to Paradise.

They even had a title about a sheep; the sale was inevitable, but also for a good cause.

Mum’s running “sheep week” at her Auckland library to bring a taste of Tarras to the townies.

New Zealand’s an exciting place to explore, but staying at a hostel we became attractions in our own right. In the sea of foreign voices it was a novelty to meet a real-life Kiwi.

We had great fun plotting local out-of-the-way treasures on to torn out pages of tourist maps and sending the visitors off for a taste of real New Zealand, the way we’ve come to know it – Shrek and all.

Next time your annual leave beckons, don’t forget there are always more obscure sheep museums and second-hand bookstores to discover in your own (national) backyard!

Methven Rodeo 2014

f it’s one thing that Methven is famous for, other than skiing and farming, it is rodeo. In the past years, cowboys and cowgirls have made Mid Canterbury their home and once again the competition at this year’s annual Methven Rodeo will feature a strong contingent of local contestants. There will be three in the Open Bareback for a start, and others scattered through the rest of the events during the day. Methven locals will be able to cheer on their favourite home grown hero, hopefully to success. Even the commentary will be provided by locals. Mid Canterbury’s own sports commentator and ANZ Young Farmer compere, Craig Wiggins, with his side kick, Malcolm Cairns, will keep it light-hearted and informative during the main performance starting at 1pm.

To add to the atmosphere, the Methven club have hired the services of a professional rodeo sound crew from Wanaka. Grenville and Jan Craig will liven up the show with amazing sound

equipment and a playlist of songs to suit the wild side of those on the bank…

Whether you are a fully-fledged, competing rodeo cowboy or cowgirl or a family on a day out, this year’s Methven Rodeo will once again provide the venue and the action to guarantee a great days entertainment.

Remember, there is a glass ban in Methven all Labour Weekend and there will be a licensed booth on the grounds, as well as plenty of food stalls and trade stands.

Contestants come from all over New Zealand, as well as some returning home from overseas rodeo circuits, will be hitting town hard with winning on their mind, as they try and get a big head start on this year’s national rodeo season. Big entry numbers mean big prize money and that will in turn bring the country’s best to Methven.

Methven Rodeo will match the rider talent with the best stock on offer with it’s own bucking horses plus

a professional bucking string from Waimate. The Big Bulls that thrill the crowd, and give the cowboys a buzz, will be here with the eight second bucking string again this year. These are, pound for pound, the true athletes of the sport.

Also, for the ladies, the very fast

barrel racers will get the dust blowing as they turn and burn around three barrels on their well trained horses in their contest, the barrel race.

Write it in your calendar, take a day off and enjoy the annual Methven Rodeo - Sunday, October 26, 2014, main event starting at 1pm.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) While Venus brings a clear sense of relationship direction and what’s possible, Mercury is holding doors open to second chances.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) You’ve got vision, hindsight, intellectual savvy and a heart that knows what it wants, making this the time to start considering your options.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With the Moon giving your emotional responses a voice this is a weekend for making communication a priority.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) While you’ll need to keep your work and money hats on over the weekend, nothing is as urgent as you think. Find a balance between work and play.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Mars wants you to make the most of his last full weekend in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, with no excuses.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) If money is simply a means to an end then take the time to establish your real values, looking to the past and future for inspiration.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While it’s time to start finalising your game plan for your new solar year, leave plenty of room for a change of heart or mind.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) When you let your imagination run wild you’re likely to have those Eureka moments that are now the cornerstone of your ongoing success.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There is a sense of adventure in the air this weekend that needs to be embraced, so don’t give too much of any free time away.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With a busy and important professional week next week you need to be match ready. Embracing the weekend spirit will do you good.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With so many distractions it would be easy to forget your relationships. Forces are in play this weekend to ensure that doesn’t happen.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Whether it’s new opportunities or second chances the money gods have the paths in all directions covered, with a mix of foresight and hindsight.
