Dairy farmers were yesterday slammed by a leading consultant, who believed they were too slow to respond to the global dairy downturn.

Jeremy Savage told farmers attending the Lincoln University Demonstration Dairy Farm focus day that they were just as responsible as the European farmers for the current over-supply of milk on the world market.

“We continued to make milk in the 2014/15 season even though the payout was forecast to be awful … we didn’t respond.”

Mr Savage said the industry didn’t see a dramatic change in attitude from farmers to production levels until July

2015 – a full year into a low payout environment.

“The Agrifax payout forecast fell through the $5 mark in October 2014.

Yet it was not for another nine months before we noted significant change in industry attitudes.

Cows that were culled after “the panic button” was pushed in July last year, should have been culled four months earlier in March, he said.

“We’ve typically reacted far too late.

That’s the nature of farmers. We are slow to respond.”

Mr Savage said farmers had invested in infrastructure and saw production as a way of paying for it. They did not like culling “perfectly good cows”.

“I’d like to think we’ve learnt a bit

about this downturn and will respond quicker next time but I have some concerns around European and Irish farmers who are slow to respond as well, so there will be a bit of a bow-wave of milk to come.”

However, he did remain optimistic on the long-term demand for milk, saying global demand is projected to increase at an increased rate of 2 to 2.6 per cent per year.

Recent reports out of Europe and Ireland continue to show that although dairy farmers aren’t making money, milk production levels had still not eased.

Mr Savage said Friesland Campina, a Netherlands processor, had run out of processing room while trying to deal with a 6.4 per cent lift in production.

Upper South Island Presbyterian Support Ashburton, represented by regional manager Jackie Girvan, has run out of food to fill its freezer.

■ MID CANTERBURY SOCIAL AGENCIES

Coping with demand

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s social services are coping with demand in what are tough times for some families, says Presbyterian Support.

The New Zealand Salvation Army’s recently-released State of the Nation report says many families are teetering on the edge of poverty and severe social distress.

Upper South Island Presbyterian Support Ashburton regional manager Jackie Girvan said yesterday in Mid Canterbury there was ongoing need, and recently there had been a “real run” on the organisation’s stocks of food.

The freezer and cupboards were bare.

The agency kept food in its cupboards and a freezer to help families being dealt with by its services such as the socialworker-in-schools and parentsas-first-teachers programmes.

While those specifically seeking food items would visit the town’s independently-run community foodbank, sometimes food was needed for families outside of foodbank hours.

“For us it’s when people are here five o’clock on a Friday, you can’t send them off to get something,” Mrs Girvan said.

She put the latest run down to

seasonal demand.

Quite often in January and February families could be under pressure due to the expenses of children going back to school, and seasonal jobs finishing.

Additionally, Presbyterian Support services had recently dealt with farm workers who had lost jobs, thus their homes at the same time, and also people suffering hardship due to having come across unexpected health issues.

“When you are just managing it doesn’t take much to tip it over the edge.”

Nevertheless, Ashburton’s social agencies worked together

well and were coping with demand. “There’s a lot of help in Ashburton, we all have got our eyes and ears out there, we are coping with what we have, I think we are pretty receptive, if we know about it,” she said.

She appealed to those requiring help that they seek help sooner rather than later.

“We know people have their pride, I guess us agencies have to be careful to be welcoming and non-judgemental really.”

And she appealed to residents for further donations, particularly non-perishable but nontinned items such as Weetbix, rice and toilet paper.

Richie McCaw didn’t take up lucrative offers to play rugby overseas because he didn’t want to leave New Zealand.

The two-time Rugby World Cup winning All Blacks captain, who was on Wednesday night named Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year at a ceremony in Auckland, yesterday told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking why he didn’t follow other professional rugby players overseas.

“When people started talking about those opportunities, I thought, ‘what would be the reason I’d do that?’ I thought ‘there’s nothing’. I didn’t really want to.

“If it came about that you wanted to earn some good money that was on offer, to me that wasn’t the right reason to go and play. I’d have to really want to do it for other reasons and there were none. I wanted to get on with something else, you know, start the new chapter,” he said of his decision to become a professional helicopter pilot after ending his All Blacks career following last year’s Rugby World Cup victory.

He had not been involved in rugby at all since his retirement, McCaw said.

He may become involved in the game again “whether I can offer anything, maybe”, he said.

“Until then leave them to it and I’ll do some other things.”

Lydia Ko was named Young New Zealander of the Year.

She beat fellow finalists Sean Kelly, a young, internationally known fashion designer, and neuroscientist Malvinder Singh-Bains.

The Local Hero of the Year award went to Selwyn Cook, who owns 14 Z petrol stations in the Waikato that he uses to provide work opportunities for people with disabilities.

The Senior New Zealander of the Year honour was awarded to John Russell, principal of Naenae College in Wellington, for his work with students and mentoring the country’s secondary school principals.

Adams confirms receipt of Bain compensation review Justice Minister Amy Adams says she has received the latest judicial report investigating the merits of David Bain’s claim for compensation.

A confidential report by retired Australian judge Ian Callinan QC had been delivered to the Govern-

ment and had found David Bain’s claim for wrongful imprisonment did not meet the threshold of “innocent beyond reasonable doubt”.

Ms Adams said the report was now in her possession but she was not prepared to give any details about its contents.

“I can confirm that I have received Mr Callinan’s report. In accordance with the agreed process, parties now have an opportunity to provide any further information they wish me to consider in respect of the report,” she said.

“I will not begin consideration

of Mr Callinan’s report and the advice I will take to Cabinet, until I have that information.

She said there would be no further details until a decision had been made by Cabinet on the Bain compensation.

She did not provide a timeframe.

“To protect the integrity of the process, it has been agreed with the applicant that there would be no comment on the status or position of the claim until Cabinet has made its decision and accordingly I won’t be providing further detail until that time.”

■ AHUWHENUA TROPHY

Rakaia farm one of three finalists

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury dairy farm has made the cut as one of three finalists in a prestigious national competition focusing on the Maori agri-business sector.

The proprietors of Rakaia Incorporation’s Tahu a Tao farm are in the line-up for the Ahuwhenua Trophy, along with Ngai Tahu Farming’s Te Ahu Patiki and Maukatere farms in the Oxford area, and a South Waikato farm owned by the Tewi Trust.

Organisers said it was first time in the recent history of the competition South Island farms have featured as finalists.

Situated in the Kyle district on the banks of the Rakaia River, Tahu a Tao Farm runs 830 cows on 216ha. A further 200 replacement calves are reared each year.

Fifty-fifty sharemilkers Mark and Julie Cressey are in their ninth season on the property, which was converted in 1996 under the direction of dairy consultant John Donkers.

Last season Tahu a Tao farm produced 371,294 kilograms of milksolids.

The business’ strong focus on animal welfare and health and safety impressed the competition judges.

Chairman of the Ahuwhenua Trophy management committee Kingi Smiler said all three farms were worthy finalists who had made a brave call to showcase their operations in challenging times.

“But this is not a time to retreat until the better times return,” Mr Smiler said.

“Downturns in a cycle provide an opportunity for all farming businesses to take stock of their operations and to honestly analyse what they are doing well and what they could do better.”

The competition alternates between dairy farming and sheep and beef operations on alternate years.

A field day will be held on the farm on March 16 with the overall winner announced in Hamilton on May 20.

Ashburton children will be able to enjoy balloons, face painting and games at the Ashburton Toy Library’s open day tomorrow.

The toy library is holding the event during their normal Saturday morning session to celebrate the start of the new year.

The full range of toys will be displayed for children to try out and there will be face painting, party games, the Balloon Man, a sausage sizzle and cupcakes.

Committee member Anthea Moore said the open day is being held to show families in Mid Canterbury the wide range of toys available to hire.

“It’s also nice to do something for the members while we’re here.”

For Mrs Moore and her 11-month-old son the library is a regular part of their life.

“It’s great, he gets new toys every two weeks.”

■ VINTAGE CAR CLUB

Old motors primed for run Take a trip down memory lane when the Ashburton Vintage Car Club opens its gates to the public for the captain’s run on Sunday.

Club members and vintage and veteran enthusiasts will have vehicles from bygone eras on display, both before and after they conduct a jaunt around the town.

Club captain Neville Ross said everyone was welcome to come along, and those with vehicles manufactured before 1980 were invited to join in the rally.

“We will have the barbecue going from 5.30pm with sausages and bread on offer, but visitors are welcome to bring a picnic,” he said.

“Bring the family along and have a look at what we do – if you get lucky you might even get a ride in an old car.”

The club’s museum, with its impressive lineup of vehicles and memorabilia, will also be open for the occasion.

The club grounds are on Maronan Road in Tinwald.

Data shows vulnerable youth erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ten per cent of Mid Canterbury’s already vulnerable youngsters could face a future of benefits and prisons sentences, data released yesterday shows.

The data - based on analysis of risk factors that indicate children are likely to lead difficult lives - was released by the Minister of Finance, Bill English and it showed that 9.9 per cent of the Ashburton District’s already at risk 0 to 5-year-olds were in danger of struggling to cope as adults, as were 10 per cent of the district’s six to 14-year-olds.

Nationally, the data shows that 17.1 per cent of those identified and aged 0 to 5 years are at risk,

■ YOUNG PEOPLE AT RISK

Fallout over winner

along with 13.3 per cent of 6 to 14-year-olds.

The figures are based on children who are deemed to have two of four indicators that could lead to poor outcomes for children, including a Child Youth and Family finding or abuse or neglect, being supported by benefits for most of their lives, having a parent who has received a corrective sentence, or having a mother with no formal qualifications.

The data has been collected

by Statistics New Zealand from Government including the Ministries of Social Development, Health and Education, as well as Child Youth and Family, Police and Housing.

Mr English said the data showed that as kids got older, more than a fifth of those with two or more of the indicators nationally would be on a benefit for five or more years, or serve a prison or community sentence.

“Those are grim outcomes by any standards. This information - which is being made widely available - will enable the social sector to create solutions and interventions to better help vulnerable people make positive changes to their lives.

“For the first time we can see the risk-factors affecting young people within their various communities - with the necessary privacy protocols in place.

“This is priceless information

for service providers who need to understand the people they are trying to help.

“We want to reduce misery, rather than service it and that requires a deep understanding of the drivers of social dysfunction.”

Compared to children with fewer than two indicators, two or more indicator kids were deemed three times more likely to leave school without qualifications, and receive benefits for more than five years or serve a prison or community sentence between the ages of 25 and 34.

They were also six times more likely to be referred to Youth Justice services, and four times more likely to be on a sole parent benefit by the age of 21.

A New Zealander facing charges over an alleged Kenyan gold mine heist has reportedly failed to show up at court and now a warrant for his arrest has been issued. Francis Edward Strange, 56, was arrested and put in an African jail last year after being accused of stealing $630,000 worth of equipment and gold from a company.

After spending six months in a notoriously over-crowded jail, Strange twice survived attacks on his life before he managed to successfully meet his bail requirements after a legal appeal.

■ FAST FOOD FRANCHISE

Domino’s await consent

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Pizza lovers in Mid Canterbury are about to get another option, with Domino’s announcing they’re soon to open an Ashburton store.

Domino’s New Zealand communications manager Emma Barnes confirmed yesterday the Ashburton franchise will open in late April, after locating a site that suits their needs following a long search.

She said a building was currently being built by the landlord of the property they’d secured – on Dobson Street beside KFC

– and plans were currently awaiting Ashburton District Council approval.

Once council gave the green light, that building would start transforming into Ashburton’s first Domino’s.

Domino’s Ashburton will be run by a franchisee, whose identity is being kept under wraps for now.

“But he is a local, he’s got experience in food, and he is just busting to get in there, and the market is busting for us to get in there,” Mrs Barnes said.

She said Domino’s social media accounts have been bom-

barded with requests from people wanting them to open in Ashburton for some time.

Dominos New Zealand general manager Scott Bush said it’s exciting to finally be able to put a timeframe on opening.

“The locals have been very vocal in their desire to have us come to town and to be able to finally confirm we have a great location and a fantastic local ready to go is a great way to start the year. We love passionate towns like Ashburton,” Mr Bush said.

They will soon begin the hunt for staff, and plan to recruit 10 to 15 people, mainly in part-time

roles. Among the roles to fill will be both in-store, and delivery drivers.

Mrs Barnes said Ashburton had been on their radar for the past couple of years, but finding the right site had been difficult.

Among the factors taken into consideration were car parking, visibility, convenience, a central site to make it easier to deliver, and what else was around it.

“You want to be in a vibrant area and with our new brand we are quite an attractive building and shop, so it helps that we are around other brands that are of the same sort of ilk.”

Primped, preened dogs Ashburton bound By susan sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

More than 400 dogs of all shapes and sizes will converge on Ashburton this weekend for the annual Ashburton Kennel Club All Breeds Show.

And their owners want anyone interested in dogs to come along and meet the canines, although they are advising people to ask before they pat.

Ashburton dog owner Jocelyn Hansen will be among dog owners in attendance, with her three-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback, Ariana.

Mrs Hansen has been breeding and showing Rhodesian ridgebacks for more than 30 years.

Alongside Ariana, she owns another two, 11-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Flek. Flek is the first and only Rhodesian ridgeback to have been named a Grand New Zealand Champion, while both Amy and Ariana are New Zealand champions.

And while Flek and Amy have now retired, Ariana still enjoys going to shows, along with all the associated perks.

“They get pampered, they get treats,” Mrs Hansen said.

As a kennel club committee member, Mrs Hansen will be hosting the overseas judges, so will not be entering Ariana this weekend, however she will take her to visit the show.

A police spokesperson confirmed the man was then forbidden to drive by police. The truck was pulled over on State Highway 3 at the north end of Stratford near the Caltex service station. The police spokesperson says the man’s employer was notified and collected the truck from Stratford a short time after.

As for Rhodesian ridgebacks, while some might find them of foreboding appearance, that did not reflect the reality, according

to Mrs Hansen.

“They are wonderful with children, very loyal dogs, and generally a very easy dog to own and to look after,” she said.

And when it came to getting them ready for shows, they were easy-care, requiring noth-

ing more than a bath, clip of toe nails and a brush.

The all breeds show will also include an agility section, and is to be held at the Allenton Rugby Club grounds, from 9am until about 3pm, on both Saturday and Sunday.

■ TURKEY

Ankara blast kills 28 A car bomb went off in the Turkish capital yesterday near vehicles carrying military personnel, killing at least 28 people and wounding 61 others, officials said.

The explosion occurred during evening rush hour in the heart of Ankara, in an area close to parliament and armed forces headquarters and lodgings. Buses carrying military personnel were targeted while waiting at traffic lights at an intersection, the Turkish military said while condemning the “contemptible and dastardly” attack.

“We believe that those who lost their lives included our military brothers as well as civilians,” Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said.

At least two military vehicles caught fire and dozens of ambulances were sent to the scene. Dark smoke could be seen billowing from a distance.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Kurtulmus pledged that authorities would find those behind the bombing. He said the government had appointed seven prosecutors to investigate the attack, which he described as being “well-

US accuses China amid signs of missiles on disputed island

Fight over phone could have impact

The United States has warned of rising tensions in the South China Sea after China appeared to have placed a surface-to-air missile system on a disputed island.

Taiwan’s defence ministry said that China had positioned anti-aircraft missiles on Woody Island in the Paracel chain, which is occupied

by China but also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said commercial satellite imagery appeared to indicate China has deployed a surface-to-air missile system. Another US official gave a more direct confirmation of the deployment on Woody Island. The official said it is unclear whether the deployment is intended for the long-term.

The deployment follows China’s building of new islands by piling sand atop reefs and then adding airstrips and military installations. The buildup is seen as part of Beijing’s efforts to claim virtually the entire disputed sea and its resources, which has prompted some of its wary neighbours to draw closer to the US. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi accused the media of hyping the issue

Conchords together again

and saying more attention should be paid to the “public goods and services” provided

by China’s development of its maritime claims.

US network Fox News reported that China had moved two batteries of the HQ-9 surface-to-air missile system, along with radar targeting arrays on Woody island.

HIS Jane’s Intelligence Review agreed with that conclusion in its assessment of commercial satellite imagery of the island. The review’s deputy editor Neil Ashdown said that depending on the version of the HQ-9 deployed, the system has a range of between 125 kilometres and 230 kilometres.

An extraordinary legal fight is brewing with major privacy implications for millions of cellphone users after a federal magistrate ordered Apple Inc. to help the FBI hack into an iPhone used by the gunman in the San Bernardino mass shootings.

The clash brings to a head a long-simmering debate between technology companies insistent on protecting digital privacy and law enforcement agencies concerned about losing their ability to recover evidence or eavesdrop on the communications of terrorists.

Yesterday, the White House quickly disputed the contention by Apple’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, that the Obama administration is seeking to force the software company to build a “backdoor” to bypass digital locks protecting consumer information on Apple’s popular iPhones.

“They are not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to one of their products,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “They’re simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device.”

Within hours of the judge’s order, Cook promised a court challenge.

A fast-growing tumbleweed called “hairy panic” is clogging up homes in a small Australian town. Extremely dry conditions mean the weeds pile up each day outside a row of homes at Wangaratta, in Victoria’s northeast. Frustrated residents are forced to clear out the weeds for several hours every day, with piles of hairy panic at times reaching roof height.

Tom Cruise appears ‘puffy’ at the 2016 Bafta awards (left), a big change from the same event last year (right).

What’s he done to his face?

He was a surprise presenter at the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday when he announced the winners of Best Film. But it appears it was Tom Cruise’s appearance, rather than the acceptance speech by the team behind The Revenant, which was the talking point.

Viewers took to Twitter as they watched the action to discuss the actor’s face, with some accusing the 53-year-old of having surgery.

Many on Twitter thought the A-lister’s face looked “frozen” and “inflated”, with many speculating if he had Botox in his remarkably smooth forehead.

Job offer for Kanye Pizza Hut has mocked Kanye West by offering him a job. The pizza chain took to its UK Twitter account to poke fun at the US rapper, who has said he owes $53 million and needs extra money to “bring more beautiful ideas to the world”, by joking that he should “knead some dough” at one of their branches to get some cash. Pizza Hut UK wrote: “Please give us a call about your job application. Thanks. Stop telling everyone you need dough and try kneading some dough. We got your CV today. You start at 9am tomorrow.” The tweets were in response to Kanye writing: “Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family”

result for the 2015 financial year to be positive, with Morningstar suggesting ongoing growth in tourism would see revenues this year exceed $500 million and profits tipped to be $328 million.

The airport case comes as two other former employees of large listed companies find themselves facing court action this week over claims they misappropriated millions of dollars of employers’ money.

Paul Kenneth Rose, a former

electrical engineer at Mighty River Power, is currently on trial at the High Court at Auckland facing four charges of obtaining $2.3 million by deception.

The offending allegedly took place over his eight years of employment at the power generator which only ended after he was dismissed following an investigation in December 2012.

Rose has pleaded not guilty to charges he abused his position by buying and marking-up parts and

equipment he would then on-sell to Mighty River Power.

SkyCity is chasing Tessa Grant through the High Court for $1.27 million after uncovering alleged fraud.

The casino operator reviewed Grant’s activities as a senior manager at its Hamilton casino between 2006 and 2014, after she pleaded guilty last year to defrauding Waikato Diocesan School for Girls of almost $800,000.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

this season to $4.15 (from $4.60), and we’ve seen some of the local banks cut their forecasts as well.

ANZ have downgraded their expectation for this season to $3.95, Westpac have a forecast of $4.00 and ASB are predicting $3.90.

More worryingly, the outlook for next season’s payout isn’t shaping up well, and farmers may be facing three consecutive years of low returns.

The New Zealand and Australian reporting season is now in full swing, and so far results have been solid. Fletcher Building, Precinct Properties and Trade Me are a few of the companies that have reported so far on the local market, and the likes of Auckland Airport, Meridian Energy and Air New Zealand are scheduled to announce earnings over the next week or so. With such a spread of industry representation, we expect to gain some valuable insights into the health of the New Zealand and Australian corporate sectors, as well as the broader economies.

A stand out of the reporting season so far has been from The a2 Milk Company, delivering sales growth of 86 per cent. This was helped by the a2 Platinum infant formula range, which saw phenomenal sales growth of 340 per cent from the prior compa-

rable period. The company also offered an increase in forward guidance for the second half of the year, its third profit upgrade of its fiscal year. The share price climbed following the result, and at one point was up by more than 28 per cent. These gains were pared back, however, and the share price finished up 3.45 per cent.

There has been a large number of central bank minutes released this week, most notably from the Federal Reserve in the US. The Fed seemed quite certain when they raised rates at the end of last year that there would be further increases this year. However, with the recent market turmoil and instability, this appears to have changed. Investors took confidence from the January minutes, which said that Fed officials would need further information on the impact of current conditions before determining the right course of action.

Oil prices continued to waiver around the US$30 a barrel threshold, but staged a rally this week following the announcement from Russia and Saudi Arabia that they had reached an agreement in terms of supply restrictions.

Although originally met with scepticism from markets, which saw further fluctuation in pricing, the deal was given validity when Iran offered its support.

The market week in review elling pressure and negative investor sentiment gathered momentum in early February, with oil prices and the S&P500 index in the US testing January lows. Last week was the worst week for the NZX50 since April 2010, with the local market falling 3.6 per cent. However, we have seen a rebound over the past few days and markets appear to be on a more stable footing for the time being.

Relative to 2015 highs, China and the emerging markets have suffered the biggest declines (down 35 per cent and 33 per cent respectively), and have both been bear markets for some time.

Europe, Australia and the UK are down 15-20 per cent on average, while the US is 10 per cent below its peak. The NZX50 is just 3.8 per cent below its 2015 high, having held up much better than the rest.

Whether this turnaround continues is difficult to predict. Recent economic data, despite being somewhat mediocre, doesn’t seem bad enough to support the extremely negative sentiment we are seeing from some corners.

While some markets and sectors deserve to have fallen as much as they have, others look oversold.

Local economic data continued to look strong, apart from developments in the dairy sector.

The headline Global Dairy Trade (GDT) index and the whole milk powder (WMP) price have fallen at all four auctions in 2016, with year-to-date declines totalling 12.7 per cent and 17.9 per cent respectively. Fonterra recently reduced its payout forecast for

Landcorp Farming, the stateowned farmer, won’t pay a dividend to the government for a second consecutive year as low milk prices erode earnings from its dairy business.

The company expects to post a net operating loss of between $8 million and $9 million in its current financial year ending June 30, chief financial officer Steve McJorrow told parliament’s primary production select committee.

That’s a bigger loss than the $1 million to $6 million it forecast in December, and compares with a net operating profit of $4.9 million last year.

Global milk prices have slumped and remained low for longer than expected as supply outweighs demand.

To help counter the downturn, Landcorp is reducing the size of its dairy herd and milk volumes, mulling other uses for land it leases north of Taupo and which it has been converting to dairy from forestry, using technology to cut costs, and exiting its sharemilking contract with Chinese partner Shanghai Pengxin to focus on developing higher value products.

The Serious Fraud Office has launched an investigation into Auckland International Airport’s missing $1.84 million.

Yesterday the airport said it had complained to authorities about a “non-executive employee” who had been sacked following an investigation and was being chased through the courts over unexplained transactions amounting to at least $1.84 million.

Phil Neutz, the airport’s chief financial officer, said in the statement the company’s auditors EY had been tasked with probing the matter and their investigation was ongoing.

“It is important for investors to note that while this is a very serious matter, the sum of money involved does not impact our current financial statements or previous reported results,” he said.

The Serious Fraud Office confirmed it had launched an investigation into the matter.

The disclosure of the missing funds and complaints of criminality come just ahead of the airport’s long-scheduled presentation of annual financial results today.

Bain saga takes yet another twist Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

J

ustice needs to be seen to be served in the case of the David Bain compensation case.

The government has just received a new report by retired Australian judge Ian Callinan, QC, following shelving another judge’s inquiry four years ago.

Yesterday Opposition leader Andrew Little criticised how long the process was taking, aiming fire at Judith Collins.

As justice minister of the time, it was Mrs Collins who shelved the previous inquiry into Mr Bain’s compensation claim, from Ian Binnie.

However, Mrs Collins did not toss Mr Binnie’s report aside in disgust because she did not like what it said.

Rather she sought a peer review, saying the retired Canadian judge had made “significant errors” and gone “well beyond” his terms of reference.

It seems the result Mrs Collins achieved in that case proved her right.

The peer review, by Robert Fisher, QC, identified a number of concerns with Mr Binnie’s report, and concluded it would be “unsafe” for Cabinet to rely on it as a basis for compensating Mr Bain.

Whether Mr Bain is guilty of murdering five members of his family in Dunedin in 1994 is a topic upon which almost every New Zealander will have an opinion.

Mr Bain spent 13 years in jail after a jury found him guilty in 1995. The Privy Council found his first trial was a miscarriage of justice and he was bailed in 2007, before being acquitted by a Christchurch jury at a retrial in 2009.

Reviewing the compensation claim has so far cost taxpayers over $1 million, and if Cabinet agrees on compensation, Mr Bain could receive as much as $10 million.

One thing the Opposition and Government agree on, is that it is time the matter was brought to resolution, and Mr Little said he had faith in justice minister Amy Adams’ process.

Mrs Adams yesterday confirmed she had received Mr Callinan’s report, and she would be considering further comment from parties prior to taking advice to Cabinet.

ince returning from the States late last year I have struggled to remove the extra baggage I brought back with me. No, I’m not talking about what was in the extra suitcase we had to purchase in Las Vegas either.

I’m talking about the Memphis Ribs, New York Pizza, San Francisco Diner breakfasts and the Virginian beer that has slapped itself to me between my neck and knees.

My latest health kick involves a Nutri-blaster and a mountain bike.

I don’t eat while I’m on air in the mornings, for some reason it affects your speech when you eat, I’m not talking about with a mouth full, but for about 20 minutes after chowing down. I once spoke to a commentator at the trots about it and he goes the whole day without food for that exact reason.

I really don’t feel like tucking into Weetbix or bacon and eggs before I leave for work at 4.15am either.

Now after my on air shift at 9am, I am driving home for some breakfast/lunch. I usually load up the Nutri-blaster with oats, cottage cheese, banana, some frozen berries, nuts, seeds and a bit of milk. I find if I use milk it fills me up more than using water.

on my mountain bike and pedal back to work and get stuck into prepping for the next day, interviews, client voicings etc.

I’m usually finished between noon and 1pm and then it’s back on the bike.

From work I head to the river bridge, duck under the bridge and head to the Allenton rugby club grounds via the river track.

I must congratulate all those involved with the construction of that track, it’s really good! A blast up that certainly gets this fat boy sweating madly.

Monday evening was so nice and warm that Manda and I went for a nice easy ride from Allenton to the bridge and back again after dinner.

bad run at the moment, but I have been cut off a lot of late by ignorant drivers, especially at roundabouts. I’m not claiming to be a perfect driver and have made plenty of mistakes behind the wheel before.

Each time I do though, I wave apologetically and clearly mouth “Sorry” to the other driver. I reckon if we all did something like this it would cut down on a whole heap of road rage. Nothing hacks me off more on the roads than someone cutting me off and looking blankly at me as if to say “Bite me”.

That feels better now, rant over!

on that track before or for a few years, give it a crack again, it’s a good fun ride.

One thing I have noticed and it’s been backed by local news stories in this paper this week, is the lack of respect for cyclists by motorists on the roads.

I’m not sure if people don’t think cyclists should be on the roads or they just don’t think full stop.

It was scary to read about the 50-year-old cyclist in a critical condition in hospital and an 80-year-old bloke knocked off his bike also this week.

Cyclists deserve as much respect as any other vehicle on the roads.

■ NETBALL

Top netball in town

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The EA Networks Centre is preparing for a huge weekend of netball.

The Mainland Tactix, Southern Steel, Canterbury Men’s and Mainland SuperClub teams are set to descend on Ashburton in early March.

A weekend of fierce netball will ensue with games kicking off at 11am on Saturday March 5 between the Tactix and the Canterbury Men’s team.

The Tactix will then meet the Steel later that evening before another full day of netball gets under way on Sunday.

A coaching session will also be held by the Tactix on Saturday between 9am and 10am.

Netball Mainland events manager Clare Cini said she hoped Mid Canterbury would come out to support the twoday event.

It was exciting to be able to

The Tactix will be taking on the Southern Steel on March 5. hold pre-season games in a new venue and in a new town but after the success of the New Zealand Secondary Schools tournament it made sense, she said.

Following the tournament CEO Brigit Hearn said the EA

Networks Centre stadium may even be considered for the ANZ Championships.

Cini said the pre-season games would be a good way to gauge the venue for future large-scale tournaments.

Aside from the high performance level netball, Mainland’s SuperClub teams will also take to the courts.

SuperClub sees the top eight teams from within the Netball Mainland district compete against one another over two weekends.

Performance development manager Jen Hooper said it was great to have such a range of netball played in the one venue.

“It’s great to be able to have the community netball running alongside our high performance and performance netball as well,” Hooper said.

Tickets to the netball on March 5 and 6 can be purchased at the door.

Entry will cost $5 for adults and a gold coin donation for children.

People interested in attending the coaching workshop are asked to contact Mid Canterbury Netball.

LA going private for 2024 With 97 per cent of the venues in existence or already planned by private investors, organisers of Los Angeles’ bid for the 2024 Olympics are promising a prudent and responsible approach to running the games that would be entirely privately financed.

“That is the definition of sustainability in terms of legacy and cost,” said Casey Wasserman, chairman of LA24.

“There’s no risk involved with venues or facilities.”

Yesterday, LA24 officials released a 64-page report submitted to the International Olympic Committee detailing their vision and concept for bringing the Olympics back to Los Angeles for a third time.

Organisers said that within three weeks of launching their bid last September, they secured US$35 million in cash commitments from private donors.

The committee is emphasising the city won’t require any extra infrastructure beyond what is already planned for the vast, traffic-choked region over the coming years, including US$300 billion in transportation upgrades.

Part of that is an expansion of several rail lines and the first direct transit link to the city’s main airport, which is currently undergoing a US$14 billion modernisation.

The bid mentions embracing new technology for ridesharing and parking, including an autonomous vehicle pilot programme.

Organisers want the “first energy positive” Olympics, including using solar power.

Beach volleyball concept for the Los Angeles 2024 Olympics bid.

“We’re going to come up with some things that will really help the games get to the next stage,” bid CEO Gene Sykes said on a conference call.

Los Angeles is competing with Paris, Rome and Budapest, Hungary, for the games.

The IOC will announce the winner next year.

“It’s nothing but strong encouragement right now,” US Olympic Committee Chairman Scott Blackmun said of initial reaction to the US bid.

Organisers said they would work with the owner of the new NFL stadium being built in Inglewood to explore opportunities for its use in the games.

“The most expensive and technologically advanced stadium will certainly be a key part of our plans going forward,” Wasserman said.

Organisers want to include Hollywood in the planning, too, although they offered no specific details.

The LA games would revolve

around four clusters: downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, along the coast on the city’s west side and in the South Bay. The renovated Los Angeles Coliseum would host track and field and opening and closing ceremonies; swimming and diving would be held in temporary pools at the 22,000-seat Los Angeles Football Club stadium set for completion in 2018; and gymnastics would be at the Forum in Inglewood.

LA Live, the city’s entertainment hub, and the University of Southern California campus would anchor the downtown cluster, with weightlifting at Microsoft Theater, badminton and taekwondo at Galen Center, and the Convention Center hosting boxing, fencing, handball, judo, table tennis and wrestling.

The valley cluster located in the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area would host canoe and slalom, with temporary facilities for equestrian, modern pen-

tathlon and shooting.

The coastal cluster would revolve around Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus hosting volleyball and field hockey in two temporary venues, with the Los Angeles Tennis Center as the site of a temporary venue for water polo, and Santa Monica Beach hosting sand volleyball, triathlon and open water swimming.

The South Bay cluster would focus on the StubHub Center in Carson as the site of tennis, rugby, cycling at the renovated Velo Sports Center and BMX in a temporary venue.

Golf would be in Griffith Park, sailing on the LA waterfront, mountain biking in the Santa Monica Mountains, rowing and canoe/kayak at Lake Casitas in Ventura County, and soccer at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

Only five venues used the last time Los Angeles hosted the Olympics in 1984 are part of the current bid, including the Coliseum, Rose Bowl and Pauley Pavilion.

The athletes’ village would be on the UCLA campus, where officials are planning for 16,500 to 17,000 beds for athletes and team officials.

Organisers said 90 per cent of all sports would occur within 30 minutes of the village.

The bid’s insurance plan includes something unique to the Los Angeles region: earthquake coverage.

It would cover costs if venue construction was delayed or became more expensive because of a quake.

In brief On-field action wanted While most of AAMI Park will nervously be watching the stands to ensure there’s not a repeat of last week’s flare-up, Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat wants to see a performance on the field.

Tonight the A-League champions are in action for the first time with the threat of a points deduction hanging over their heads. It’s adding to Victory’s points tally that concerns Muscat, who has an intimidating task when they welcome Adelaide United to AAMI Park.

Victory were the last team to beat United, back in November. - AAP

Last chance saloon Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold will give his starting unit one last chance at arresting their freefall in tomorrow’s highly-anticipated sellout derby against Western Sydney.

A frustrated Arnold threatened to wield the axe after their inept defeat to Perth last week resulted in a drop to a season-low sixth spot on the A-League table. The Sky Blues have now gone a month without a win and are in real danger of slipping out of the top six. - AAP

Rooney on injured list Manchester United have been dealt a hammer blow after captain Wayne Rooney was ruled out for up to two months with a knee ligament injury. News of the setback emerged after United landed in Denmark for their Europa League clash with Midtjylland without the England striker. Rooney has been in a hot streak of form in recent weeks, scoring seven goals in the last nine games, but his absence leaves United with just one senior striker in Anthony Martial. Will Keane has been added to the squad to face Midtjylland.

Bale transfer probe Three European MPs want the European Union to probe Gareth Bale’s 100 million euros ($NZ155 million) move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013, according to media reports. British MP Daniel Dalton, Catalan colleague Ramon Tremosa and Belgian MEP Sander Loones have asked the EU to find out if the transfer was supported by Spanish banks that had been bailed out by European Union taxpayers.

“If taxpayers’ money was used to underwrite the Gareth Bale transfer deal then this is something the EU should investigate,” Dalton said. - AP

Ronaldo ends drought Cristiano Ronaldo ended his away scoring drought with an impressive second-half goal as Real Madrid won 2-0 at Roma yesterday in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie. The victory also marked a successful debut for Zinedine Zidane as Madrid’s manager in the elite competition, with the 10-time champion taking a big step toward the quarter-finals.

It was Ronaldo’s first goal on the road since November 29, when he scored a penalty against Eibar.

“Everyone expects (Ronaldo) to score and today he was able to,” Zidane said. “I’m happy for these two away goals and that we didn’t concede any goals.”

In brief

■ CRICKET

Tech chasing first win

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Week four of the Muirhead Rosebowl will see Coldstream host Tech and Allenton entertain Lauriston, while Methven have the bye.

Having put a dismal Pritchard Shield campaign behind them, Methven are currently the Rosebowl front-runners.

Ben Payne’s team have a superior run rate to second-placed Allenton, who have also won two of their three fixtures so far, but Coldstream will look to propel themselves to the top of the ladder when they return to the fray tomorrow.

Coldstream downed Lauriston and Allenton before their bye last weekend, and will be gunning to condemn out-of-form Pritchard Shield winners Tech, who occupy fourth spot, to a third successive defeat.

Last weekend’s action saw Allenton take a hard-fought four-wicket win over Tech.

Tech won the toss, sent Allenton in to the field, and batted out their allotted 45 overs to finish on 173 for nine.

In reply, Allenton chased down Tech’s total in the 40th over with four wickets intact.

In the weekend’s opposite fixture, Methven posted a 46 run win over Lauriston.

Methven were all out for 119 in the 35th over before Lauriston recorded a meagre 73 all out.

In the Studholme Shield, which is awarded to the most consistent team of the round robin stages in the Pritchard Shield and Muirhead Rosebowl, Allenton are currently at the top of the standings on 17 points, closely followed by Tech and Coldstream on 16.

Week four Muirhead Rosebowl fixtures, 12.30pm: Coldstream v Tech, Coldstream Oval. Allenton v Lauriston, Allenton-1.

South Africa have appointed former player Neil McKenzie as batting coach until the end of next month’s World Twenty20 in India. McKenzie, 40, retired as a player last month and has been roped in to help South African batting line-up that has looked fragile recently. He will work with the team in home T20 series, as well as the World T20 that starts on March 8. “It’s been something that we have been trying to do for a long time,” head coach Russell Domingo said. “We have explored a few options and finally one guy has committed, we are ecstatic that Neil will be joining us.”

Marsh after runs Mitch Marsh believes a second-ball duck in Wellington could hardly be less representative of his form with the bat. But Marsh knows how he will be judged by Australia selectors when it comes to a run drought at Test level. “My record with the bat is not great over the last 12 months,” he said. “But I’ve still got great confidence that I can turn it around and start scoring big runs for Australia. It’s just a matter of time before I get in and get a big one.” Marsh is averaging just 14.27 since he claimed Shane Watson’s place in the Test side during last year’s Ashes.

A ‘walking wicket’ PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 130216-TM-0243

McCullum ‘the Federer of cricket’ For years, fans have seen South African cricket captain AB de Villiers as a daring, gallant and even belligerent man, keen to decimate bowling attacks with his slashing bat.

Mention the name Brendon McCullum and the image changes. You see a softer, more jovial man.

Ask him about Baz’s retirement and the picture changes again, a more intimate side is revealed.

As preparations for New Zealand’s test against Australia in Christchurch ramp up, so do the sentimental words for the Black Caps captain.

Everyone is keen to have their say, add their story, share an anecdote about McCullum and de Villiers is no different.

The pair have been fierce rivals on the field throughout McCullum’s international career, but great friends off it.

One only has to look at last year’s Cricket World Cup semifinal, when the Black Caps dra-

matically beat South Africa.

The dejection de Villiers and his team felt after that match was high, but de Villiers still led his troops into the New Zealand dressing room to share a beer with McCullum and his team.

“One thing I admire the most is the fact that, off the field, he is a fantastic human being, a really good friend of mine and that is something I will always respect.” de Villiers said.

“I truly love the way he plays the

James Pattinson is set to return to Australia’s attack when they chase the No.1 Test ranking in Christchurch, with Peter Siddle ruled out of the second trans-Tasman Test.

Cricket Australia has confirmed Siddle will miss the side’s clash with New Zealand at Hagley Oval, which starts tomorrow. Siddle injured his back during the first test, when Australia cruised to victory by an innings and 52 runs in Wellington.

Siddle ruled out

game. He plays with a lot of passion, pride and energy. It’s difficult to do that consistently.

“I can think of someone like a Roger Federer, who’s someone else to have achieved that throughout his career.

“Maintaining that consistency, that passion, that pride and energy ... Brendon has definitely achieved that.”

De Villiers concedes that is perhaps McCullum’s shining quality - his love for the game and the vigour in which he plays it.

The South African batting genius has struggled with this aspect, stating earlier this year that he was contemplating his future.

He admitted that at times over the past few years he was not enjoying the game as he should.

He says that seemed a different story with the Black Caps captain.

“What makes him a great cricketer is the fact he always plays with energy and passion.

“That is something I admire

because I like to play that way.

“It is really difficult to maintain that throughout one’s career. So for him to have done that, for that many years, time and time again, I just admire that so much.”

It’s easy to quantify in numbers what he has achieved for the Black Caps.

Leading them to their first ODI World Cup final, being the most successful Black Caps captain and scoring a triple century in an international test match are just a few records McCullum has notched up since taking over as captain in 2012.

What is harder to measure is the impact he’s left on cricket as a whole in New Zealand.

De Villiers believes the way he led the Black Caps to the World Cup final is his shining moment.

“The youngsters who looked at that whole display of New Zealand almost winning the World Cup will be encouraged to do so in the future.

“So his legacy that he leaves behind leaves a good taste in everyone’s mouth.”

- NZME

Put a ring around it. When Brendon McCullum farewells test cricket at Hagley Oval this week, Mitchell Marsh will probably claim his wicket.

That’s the “bunny” theory being peddled in Australia as the teams line up for the final time this summer.

Marsh has claimed McCullum’s wicket five times for 27 runs in his last nine innings and the Sydney Morning Herald uses those statistics to headline their theory the NZ captain is a “walking wicket” for the Aussie all-rounder. “Mitch Marsh has got genuine pace and bounce being 6’ 5” or whatever, but I don’t think Brendon is going to be too worried about that,” said NZ coach Mike Hesson.

- AAP

Kudos for Smith Australia’s dressing room culture is stronger and more democratic under new skipper Steve Smith than predecessor and comeback aspirant Michael Clarke, paceman John Hastings says. The burly Victorian stopped short of criticising Clarke’s leadership, but said with more “strong-headed” personalities in the frame at the time, including Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey, he was less likely to speak up in team meetings. “I don’t know whether it’s because I was younger, I was a bit more afraid to speak my mind,” Hastings, who played under Clarke in his only test match in 2012, said yesterday.

The National Champs are scheduled to finish on Sunday.

Wall leading the charge

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton rowers are currently competing at the Bankstream NZ Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro, and have produced some fine results so far.

Veronica Wall placed third in heat two of the women’s under-20 single sculls with a time of 7.58.40, behind Waikato’s Luca Ellery (7.52.11) and Samantha Voss (7.55.90).

Wall then went one better in the semi-final with a second place finish in 8.21.47, behind Ellery again, but this time by a narrower margin of just over three seconds.

Wall was also in fine form in the women’s under-22 single sculls, placing third (8.33.94) in heat one behind Waikato’s Hannah Osborne (8.18.03) and Auckland’s Amy Mills (8.19.57), before taking out first spot in

heat four of the women’s club single sculls.

Wall and Charlotte Cox then battled for a second place finish (7.54.25) in the women’s club double sculls behind the Rotorua pair Alie Henderson-Corporaal and Rosemary van der Velden (7.51.56), but they could only muster sixth place in the semifinal.

In the men’s club single sculls, Matthew Rae (8.09.72) fin-

ished second in heat three behind Invercargill’s Max Dawson (8.09.27), but finished seventh in his semi-final.

Rae then placed fifth in heat two of the men’s senior single sculls before winning his repechage to qualify for the semifinals, but could only manage seventh.

Racing was brought to a halt yesterday afternoon due to blustery weather.

Test ‘an opportunity’ for NZ New test batsman Henry Nicholls reckons New Zealand don’t need to change much in terms of preparation and mindset ahead of a second test they must win against Australia, starting at Hagley Park in Christchurch tomorrow.

Lefthander Nicholls, who hit a half century on his debut in the innings and 52-run defeat at the Basin Reserve, views the Hagley Oval test as an opportunity to put in a far better performance than they did in Wellington.

“I’m not sure about pressure,” he said yesterday.

“I don’t think we need to do too much differently in terms of our preparation and our mindset.

“Sometimes when you lose it’s easy to look into a lot of things that went wrong.

“There’s a few things did go wrong in Wellington, that’s why we lost the test.

“But for us it’s just an emphasis on keeping it nice and simple and not being too caught up

in the big occasion.

“It’s Brendon’s (McCullum) last game, but him as captain and his philosophy is always to go out and enjoy it and give it your best.

“That’s what we’re trying to focus on.”

Nicholls believes New Zealand must retain the confidence they have derived from strong test performances in the last couple of years, and set aside the “hiccup” of the Basin Reserve a few days ago.

“We’re looking to move forward confidently and know that the good cricket we’ve been playing will translate into this game,” he said.

Nicholls made his New Zealand debut in the opening ODI against Sri Lanka on Boxing Day on his home ground, Hagley Oval.

Now it’s his second test before his supporters.

“It’s always nice to be back in your home town and with the great facility here at Hagley it’s

Henry Nicholls: New Zealand need to keep it nice and simple. a ground that I really personally enjoy playing at.

“I know the guys in the team also enjoy playing here.

“It’s a great facility and it’s usually a good wicket.”

As for coach Mike Hesson’s plea for more green in the pitch at Hagley, Nicholls believes it’s “something to be expected in New Zealand”.

“We’re known for those conditions and I’ve got no problem playing in them.

“I know it’s something that we’re trying to get used to.

“I’ve played out here a few times and I’m pretty comfortable with it.”

Nicholls admitted the intensity from first-class to test cricket was a step up.

“But there’s also a lot that goes into it, the buildup into the test, and it’s against Australia so it adds that as well.

“I really enjoyed the step up in intensity.”

That’s likely to ramp up again over the next few days, considering the state of the series, the fact a New Zealand victory would deny Australia top spot in the test rankings, and that it’s McCullum’s final match for his country.

The Warriors will road test their new-look spine for the first time when they take on the St George Illawarra Dragons in their second and final NRL trial match at Nelson’s Trafalgar Park tomorrow.

And Meninga said that wouldn’t be difficult with tongues already wagging eight months ahead of their much anticipated Four Nations showdown.

The match looms as a crucial opportunity for young halves Nikorima and Jackson Hastings to get some valuable match time alongside each other, less than a month after they were thrown together following captain Mitchell Pearce’s indiscretions. - AAP

Burden of captaincy Who could blame Simon Mannering for being sick and tired of dealing with the commitments as Warriors captain? He never shirks his work on the field or at training but the 29-year-old 236 game veteran never felt entirely comfortable fulfilling the off-field responsibilities required of an NRL club leader. Add on top of that the burden of having to front up week after week, to shoulder the blame for the Warriors latest collapse, and you get an idea of the relentless pressures he was under. Mannering should now be rejuvenated and more enthused to take the field each week, and that can only be a good thing for the club that has for so long relied upon him to lead the way. - NZME

Trainer extends filly’s campaign A third start in the North Island has been confirmed for What Choux Want.

The Riccarton filly finished an unlucky third in her Ellerslie debut last month before she produced a solid run for fifth, after a tardy beginning, in the Listed Karaka Million.

Trainer Andrew Carston has now set his sights on Saturday week’s Gr.2 J Swap Contractors Matamata Breeders’ Stakes.

“It’s all go,” he said.

“She had a week off after the Karaka Million, then a week on the water walker and she’s worked well since. I’m pretty happy with her.

“She’s showing no signs that she’s had enough.

“We’ll see what happens and there are still two Group Ones to come, but at this stage I am leaning toward putting her out after Matamata.”

Carston also has a big team engaged at his home meeting at Riccarton today and he is expecting a bold showing from She’s Graceful in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race.

The daughter of Per Incanto finished fifth behind What Choux Want in her first appearance and then got home strongly for third last time out.

“She ran very well at Motukarara and I would have preferred the race to be 1000 metres again, rather than 900, but it is what it is and I’m sure she will still be very competitive.”

Like What Choux Want, She’s Graceful holds a nomination for the Gr.1 Courtesy Ford Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes at Awapuni on April 2.

“That’s a long way off yet, but if you’re not in you can’t win,” Carston said.

19/2 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When there aren’t a lot of features in a situation, each detail is all the more precious. This is a main tenant of minimalism — fewer things to concentrate on will encourage a deeper appreciation of each one.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Experienced warriors know there are times when it’s best to cross the bridge and burn it behind you so the enemy can’t follow. But you only strike the match when you’re sure you never want to get back to a place.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your friendships need tending to as you move forward. Just don’t let anything get stale. These are treasures in need of polish.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You may temporarily lose track of the joy, the passion, the reason ... but don’t lose track of your persistence. The joy will come back; then the passion; then the reason.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You need to be needed. You love to be loved. You want to be wanted. This is precisely what makes you such a perfect candidate for exciting adventures in love today.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): In all ventures, Virgos are craving a counterpart — an equal with complementary skills. Singles may still be debating whether a romantic candidate is strong enough to be the kind of partner that is needed at this juncture.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You don’t always have cheerleaders around you. It really benefits all if you’re able to do this for yourself without feeling weird. Pump up your self-belief. You can do this!

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): If you hang back and talk about it, you’ll only talk yourself out of it. Stop socialising, agonising and analysing. There’s no point, jump in and scramble through.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You can avoid criticism by avoiding production, creation and expression. But what’s the fun in that? The expedient thing would be to stop caring what “they” think.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You don’t have to choose between two extremes. Examine your choices. They have more to do with applying your resources for being an effective human being.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There is nothing mundane to the eye that chooses to see it as mesmerising instead. You have such an eye. Use your talent to help others appreciate the environment.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The trick is to get your imagination and eyes to focus on the same thing.

This will never happen completely, but you can come close and get these two working together.

Gerard Morrison finished in second place in the individual two-day Coast to Coast race.

Gerard ‘stoked’ with second

BY JAMES FORD

Ashburton’s Gerard Morrison exceeded even his own expectations when he finished second in the individual two-day Coast to Coast race last weekend.

Morrison left on foot from the black sands on the West Coast, running 3km inland to his waiting bike, which was lent to him by his uncle Don, before following the Taramakau River to the foothills of the Southern Alps, where he switched his bike for runners for 33kms.

The 29-year-old encountered multiple river crossings and an elevation gain of nearly 800m on his way to Goat Pass and the start of the descent, followed by a 15km ride to the Waimakariri River.

Morrison then paddled 70kms, with rapids up to grade two in size, to the heart of the Southern Alps and on to the Canterbury Plains.

But disaster struck in the water, when his water system broke, leaving him with just 600ml for the final 70km ride to the finish at the New Brighton Pier, where a parched Morrison crossed the line to claim second place.

Morrison recorded an overall time of 13.00.42 - 42 minutes behind winner Hayden Wilde - in his first attempt at Coast to Coast.

Morrison’s achievement is made even more impressive by having only taken up kayaking in the last year.

Reflecting on the race, Morrison said he was surprised to fin-

Rooney on Man U’s injured list P17

“

I wasn’t expecting it at all, I was overwhelmed

ish in second spot, and only realised he was ahead of schedule at Goat Pass.

“I was surprised when I got to the top of Goat Pass.

“I was about 40 minutes ahead of where I thought I would be,” he said.

Morrison said he found the course most challenging on the

bike, battling to keep up in the opening ride.

“The cycling’s always tough, everyone starts off with a hiss and a roar and goes hard for the first 10ks,” he said.

But it was the final cycle leg that boosted Morrison’s position to second, after losing ground in his kayak.

“I don’t have a real fast boat.

“A few of them passed me on the river, but I managed to catch them up on the last ride to Christchurch,” he said.

“I was pretty stoked (to finish second) to be honest.

“I wasn’t expecting it all, I was overwhelmed.”

Morrison is now planning a well-earned break from his busy training schedule, but will look to return to racing later in the year.

He was thankful for the support he received.

“I’d like to thank my girlfriend Hayley, she was in charge of the support crew.

“Tom Judkins, he teaches people to paddle, my uncle for lending me the bike, my family and everybody else.”
