Five things that may interest you

No more babies for Warne Shane Warne is done with having kids, and that’s exactly why he and girlfriend Emily Scott broke up after only three months together. When the former Australian cricketer announced on Twitter late last month he’d split from the Playboy model, he put it down to the pair being at “different stages of their lives”. There are only a few ways you can spin that and now the 45-year-old has confirmed it’s because Scott wanted to have children and he didn’t. Warne told MyMp’s Great Australian Lives yesterday that he and the 30-year-old were simply on different pages. Warne is already father to teenage daughters Brooke, 17, and Summer, 12, and 14-year-old son Jackson. The King of Spin also said he’s still friends with his former fiancee, Liz Hurley.

Kiwis’ Halloween chill out Ghosts and witches are out, Disney princesses and snowmen are in for Halloween.

Princess sisters Elsa and Anna and their snowman friend Olaf from the children’s movie Frozen are the must-have costumes this year for New Zealand children. Other hit costumes for the traditional American celebration – which continues to grow in popularity in New Zealand – are superheroes, vampires and zombies. Celia Kemp of Kids Costumes in Auckland’s Torbay said Elsa and Anna costumes were so in demand that the company had to order more stock. Frozen is the top costume choice at The Warehouse too.

“Our top-selling costume this year is the Frozen deluxe dress up costume, which has been flying off the shelves,” a spokeswoman said. Internet search analysis company SLI Systems found Frozen characters topped the list of most-searched-for costume ideas. With more than 1.1 million searches for Anna, Elsa or Olaf, the choice eclipsed the next most popular options – zombies and ninjas, both at 863,000 searches, and pirates, at 796,000. Adults were sticking to zombies, vampires and anything “dead and scary”, said Jacqui Whall, costume director at prop and costume hire shop First Scene, in Auckland’s Kingsland.

“People aren’t getting dressed like the specific characters. “There are all different types of vampires going on – people can choose from Underworld or Twilight or comedic vampires, like Taika Waititi’s film What We Do In the Shadows.

Family with 12 sons awaits baby 13 A western Michigan couple with 12 sons is expecting baby No.13, and even though they’re sticking to their tradition of not finding out in advance whether they’re having a boy or girl, they said they’d be shocked if their streak is broken. Jay and Kateri Schwandt’s baby is due May 9, The Grand Rapids Press reported. Even though they expect it will be another boy, the couple said they would welcome either into the family. “If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock,” Kateri Schwandt said. “It would probably be disbelief.”

John Denver bust missing A Denver radio station that sponsored a heavy-metal Halloween ball is pleading for the return of a bust of John Denver that went missing during the party.

Someone at KBPI-FM’s Saints and Sinners ball this week pried the bronze bust off its base at the 1st Bank Center in the Denver suburb of Broomfield. The station is asking whoever took the bust to return it undamaged to its studios, no questions asked. The statue belongs to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. It was donated by Denver’s family when he became its first inductee in 2011.

Director G. Brown says concertgoers often pose with the bust or pat it on the head as they pass by.

DeGeneres denies new rumour Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and her actress wife Portia De Rossi have dismissed reports suggesting a domestic dispute prompted the cancellation of an appearance at a Los Angeles fundraiser at the weekend, insisting they were never scheduled to attend in the first place. Reports suggested the stars had been en route to the Saving Spot! pet rescue event when they became embroiled in a heated argument and decided to turn around and head home.

However, the couple has now cleared up the false rumours, blaming event organisers for misleading guests with their amended invitation.

Hospital project fast-tracked

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When work on a new, multimillion dollar aged-care hospital in Ashburton starts later this month, Les Briggs will be one step closer to realising his dream of developing a lifestyle resort for the over-60s.

Work started on the resort’s villas about two years ago and Mr Briggs anticipated the hospital build would be five years into the future. Demand, however, has pushed his plans forward.

“This whole project has taken off so it’s moved forward because I can really see the need.

This whole project was a gamble because if I hadn’t had my ducks in a row we would have been in trouble.”

But his ducks were in a row and ready to go.

Plans have been drawn up, consents granted and construction tenders let. Work is scheduled to start on November 24 and a typically modest Mr Briggs admits he’s pretty pleased with the way things are shaping up.

By early 2016 the new hospital, complete with 80 beds will be open.

“This started out at 40 beds then it grew to 60 and now we’re building 80. I didn’t want to run it so it’s been leased to Radius Care who already run 20 around New Zealand,” he said.

The project is a 12-month build, with two months for fitout and when completed will have 40 beds dedicated to dementia care with the other 40 for aged care. It will have two wings, two central courtyards and all rooms will have garden views. It will also pump up employment opportunities in the district.

“The hospital will create around 30 jobs and it will be open to the public, but residents in the villas will have first priority,” he said.

Alongside, 20 assisted care

Wheelie bins due in 2017

scheme. The deal wasn’t signed without opposition, with councillors Donna Favel and Peter Reveley joining forces in an effort to block the change.

Wheelie bins won’t arrive until July 2017 however, to allow costs to be built into the council’s long term plan.

While 2017 had been set as the start date for the new scheme, councillor Alan Totty

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A change to wheelie bin kerbside rubbish collections is now a done deal for the Ashburton, Methven and Rakaia.

On Thursday Ashburton District councillors signed off on their kerbside collection review, committing the district to a change to a two wheelie bin and glass crate collection

said the community could move that forward or further out when the long term plan went out for consultation.

Details of the new collection system still have to be hammered out but Mayor Angus McKay wanted wheelie bins to be introduced with a cost recovery scheme in place.

“I’ll be wanting to explore this through the long term plan

process. “People who tip more will pay more, but there will still have to be an underpinning charge.”

The new scheme will see urban properties use an 80 litre wheelie bin for rubbish.

This will be collected weekly and a 240 litre bin for recycling which will be collected fortnightly. The current green crate will be retained for glass.

In brief Farmer cuts internet A Rakaia farmer and his digger found themselves in hot water after accidentally cutting internet access to over 1000 Spark customers yesterday. The outage occurred yesterday afternoon, when the farmer accidentally sliced through a Spark fibre-optic cable while digging on his farm.

Spark spokeswoman Lucy Fullarton said the outage affected about 1200 customers across the lower South Island, including nearly 100 schools. Ms Fullarton said it was mainly customers in Timaru, Dunedin, Oamaru, Queenstown and Invercargill who received their broadband through fibre that were affected. However, she believed 158 customers in Hinds and Willowby who received their broadband through copper cables were also affected. At the time of print it was unknown how long the service would be down, as it depended if the cable was cut cleanly.

Person arrested One person was arrested after an incident of unlawful taking at a Nelson Street address at 5.30pm on Thursday.

Garage fire Emergency services battled a garage fire in the Auckland suburb of Glen Eden last evening.

Three fire crews attended the blaze in the garage storing a boat on Konini Rd at 8.50pm.

Fire communications spokesman Michael Upton said initial calls to the fire service indicated there were people present in the house, but firefighters found it empty.

He said the cause was still under investigation.

Baby kidnapped Ashburton College student Harry Ferguson drenches teacher Sarah Stark during a highly competitive game of human chess at the school yesterday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 311014-TM-224

College chess match turns into a watery battle Ashburton College turned into a battleground yesterday afternoon, as staff took on students in a game of living chess.

The longstanding tradition saw members of the Year 13 student executive and house

captains take on staff in a highly competitive game under the gaze of hundreds of students.

Each player was armed with a water gun, water bombs, and large buckets of water, which were dumped over their oppo-

nents’ heads without mercy.

The “chess pieces” were moved around the board by retiring chemistry teacher Greg Jones and student Devam Pandya.

Year 13 student and Red

House captain Sonya Leadley said after working with the teachers all year, it was good to have some fun with them.

The staff eventually took top honours after a hard fought match.

Police have arrested an 18-year-old woman after an 8-week-old boy was kidnapped from his Hamilton home yesterday. Detective Senior Sergeant Ross Patterson said: “That arrest followed an interview of the woman this afternoon at the Hamilton police station. “She has been arrested on a charge of kidnapping and will appear in the Hamilton District Court today. We are not seeking anyone else and would like to thank members of the public who assisted us with our inquiries.”

■ MID CANTERBURY WHITE RIBBON

Uniting against family violence

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s police are attending between six and eight domestic incident call-outs per week, but Ashburton’s top cop is still concerned about the lack of reporting around such incidents.

Ashburton Police Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said he was absolutely concerned about the level of reporting, which sits at just 20 per cent nationally.

“The best outcome is when one of the partners, or the victim in that relationship, comes to the police and says ‘I need help’,” he said.

“Unfortunately, it’s embarrassing and they find it hard to go to other agencies, or the police, and they wait for that terrible time when they’ve actually been a victim of violence.”

He made the comments at the Mid Canterbury launch of the White Ribbon campaign, which will be running throughout November. The launch was also attended by Ashburton District Mayor Angus McKay, MP for

Mr Sole said it was difficult to get people to report domestic violence incidents, particularly

in rural areas. “One of the biggest barriers to people reporting is shame, and how they feel about it and about other people knowing their business,” he said.

“In the rural community it’s very difficult to be anonymous, whereas you can, within reason, do that in the suburbs or

Let the fireworks begin

By Caitlin Porter

The annual Guy Fawkes night organised by the Lions Club of Rakaia is set to go off with a bang tonight at the Rakaia Domain.

There will be a fireworks display and a bonfire as well as a bevy of food stalls and activities for the kids.

Lions Club members Alistair Sutherland and Ken Cutforth organised the evening with the help of other Lions members and Mr Sutherland said they were hoping for a good turn-out.

“Last year we had approximately 2500 to 3000 and we are hoping for more to turn up this year.”

Other than the regular main attractions, Mr Sutherland said there will be a lot of entertainment on offer including

musical performances from The Kopy Kats, Ocean, Vicki Smith and The Singing Milkmen.

It is free to attend, although people will be able to give donations toward the Lions Club of Rakaia, and many come from out of town for the entertainment.

The event will start at 6pm with the bonfire kicking off a little earlier this year and the fireworks display will begin once it is dark enough.

The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade will be on hand again to ensure everything goes to plan.

As in previous years there is a total glass ban.

Mr Sutherland said he hoped the weather would hold out as no rain was forecast and temperatures were expected to hit 21°C during the day.

“The wonderful thing about the White Ribbon campaign is that it’s about men saying to other men, ‘you might have stuff going on in your life that you’re

not proud of, there are ways that you can change that behaviour’,” she said.

■ HAKATERE HUTS

Sombre note to demolitions

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Coastal erosion and bulldozers had the final say at Hakatere yesterday, when six houses were demolished.

Their owners have been fighting to save their homes, but as the sea eroded the cliffs on which they were built, the Ashburton District Council stepped in and told the property owners they had to leave.

That was six months ago.

Some left immediately, others hung in for several months hoping for a reprieve.

There was none and yesterday the bulldozer arrived and the six houses were reduced to rubble and carted off site; their inland neighbours were left with an uninterrupted view of the sea.

It was a sombre place yesterday, hutholders committee chairman Ross Lithgow said.

The bach owners didn’t hang around but a few other hutholders took photos that would ensure the black day in the settlement’s history was never forgotten.

“Emotions are running high at the moment.

“The shame of this is it’s taken six months, it’s been a long, slow death.

Six houses in the Hakatere huts settlement were reduced to rubble yesterday after clinging precariously to the cliff top for decades.

“It should have been much quicker,” he said.

Last night when residents gathered in the hall for their traditional Friday happy hour, there were plenty of tales told of the days when the land in front of those baches could be

measured in a cricket pitch rather than just one or two metres, Mr Lithgow said.

“It all looks very strange down here at the moment.”

The bach owners had been on notice for more than a year that their homes would have to

be either moved or demolished.

The death knell came, however, when the council delivered owners a notice to vacate because it considered the properties were unsafe to occupy under the Building Act. The council said it would foot

the bill for the demolition but owners were left to find alternative accommodation.

Some walked away from the settlement, others are still looking at options that could see new baches built at the rear of the settlement.

■ ASHBURTON FAMILY

Eleventh hour stay of execution on eviction

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

An 11th hour gesture of goodwill from their landlord has saved an Ashburton family from becoming homeless.

Nicola Wanhalla and Michael da Silva and their six children should have been out of their rental property yesterday, but because they hadn’t found a new home, their landlord shelved his plans to move back into his house so they would still have a roof over their heads.

That phonecall lifted a huge weight off her shoulders, Ms Wanhalla said, and meant she had her first decent night’s sleep

in weeks. The family was given notice more than six weeks ago by their letting agent after the property owner decided he wanted to move into his house to undertake renovations.

Since then they’ve been looking for a new rental but with six children, that’s not easy, she said.

They spent most of Thursday desperately scouring town and visiting letting agents, hoping to find a house, but nothing suitable was available.

“The only things that were out there were three-bedroom homes and with six children, they’re counting that as over-

crowding,” Ms Wanhalla said.

A phonecall from their landlord on Thursday night has given them some breathing space.

“I was just so relieved when I spoke to him.

“We’re now in touch with him daily while we’re looking,” she said.

Finding accommodation for larger families is not easy say Ashburton letting agents.

There is no definition of what constitutes overcrowding in a home and Property Brokers’ Donna Brown said the number of people per house had more to do with the size of the house than the number of bedrooms.

“It comes down to the bedroom size. If they’re bigger you could have three kids in a room so eight in a three-bedroom house would be fine, but having say 12 with just one toilet wouldn’t,” she said.

The rental market was tight at the moment and that meant competition for any available rentals, Ms Brown said.

“There are a lot of people applying for the same property; the demand is constant and solid.”

Real Estate New Zealand, Ashburton letting agent Sue Prendergast said she generally worked on two people per bed-

room as the benchmark when letting homes and that meant people with four or more children often struggled to find the four-bedroom homes they needed.

“There are not a lot of these around so it’s very hard for bigger families.

“At the moment we only have two vacant properties and that’s out of hundreds on our books.”

Larger families usually had to wait until some of the villa properties became vacant as these generally had more than three bedrooms. Farm houses were also an option, Ms Prendergast said.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Show off to a great start The 137th Ashburton A&P Show got off to a good start yesterday morning, with hundreds of preschoolers and primary school students taking advantage of free entry.

This year’s show theme is “The grains and seeds of the Canterbury Plains” and many exhibits reflected this.

In her first year as president Lynette Lovett’s involvement

with the show spans almost 50 years.

She said yesterday’s attendance was on par with other Fridays.

“It’s not a bad turnout. We’re very happy with how it’s going so far, people are getting onboard with the theme, and seem to be enjoying themselves,” she said.

Event organisers opened the

north end of the grounds this year to accommodate the everincreasing number of trade stalls.

Exhibitors who have been attending the show over 20 years were set up next to first timers, such as Meadow Mushrooms.

According to salesperson Fiona Morland said the company uses 20,000 large bales of straw to make mushroom com-

post, a large proportion of it derived locally.

In the main ring equestrian events catching the attention of spectators, with horses and ponies of all shapes, colours and sizes competing.

While the sideshows were doing a quiet trade, the carnival rides were stationary throughout the morning but they will be in full swing when the gates

open this morning.

Competition will heat up when the livestock, home industry and open equestrian entrants will be judged, highland dancers will be in full swing, and the sheep dog trials will be taking place.

The grand parade, led this year by the South Canterbury Highland Band, will take place at 2pm.

Roger puts his own stamp on showjumping

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s a matter of horses for courses for the riders at the Ashburton A&P Show, but the situation reverses for international course designer Roger Laplanche.

He’s built more courses at the Ashburton showgrounds than he cares to remember, but reckons he’s been coming here for close to 20 years in that capacity.

Course designers are graded and two years ago Mr Laplanche travelled to Spruce Meadows in Canada, where he successfully sat the demanding FEI Level 3 examination, qualifying him to do the job at international level.

There are only six New Zealanders qualified at that level, and Mr Laplance is the only one working in the South Island, which keeps him busy during the showjumping season.

“I do a lot of A&P and federation shows, but we only have six world cup shows in New Zealand,” he said.

“The beauty of it is we can go anywhere in the world, and we do get invites from Europe from time to time, but the reality of it is we are too isolated to get much international work, other than Australia.”

Prior to taking up course design, Mr Laplanche rode competitively, although those days are over, he still keeps a horse or two for hunting and trekking.

International course designer Roger Laplanche has built the showjumping courses for the Ashburton A&P Show, on yesterday and today.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Another success for five-year-old mare

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

All the primping and preening paid off for mother and daughter team Judith and Penelope Johnson, when their entry in the Class A ridden pony section took the champion novice award.

Maxwellton Georgie Girl was ridden to victory by Christchurch equestrian Grace Manera, aged 13.

It is not the first taste of success for the five-year-old mare she won the rising star championship at the Horse of the Year show in Hastings earlier this year, pushing her sister Maxwellton Penelope Pitstop into the reserve spot.

From Waimate, the Johnsons arrived early on Thursday, and camped over overnight at the showground, to leave plenty of time to prepare the trio of ponies entered in this year’s A&P show.

Ponies and showing are in their blood.

Mrs Johnson’s father, established the Maxwellton stud in the 1950s, and the ponies are still shown under the JR Cooper name., Today it will be Maxwellton Penelope Pitstop’s turn to shine in the open Class A ridden pony section, and the Johnsons are expecting her to perform well.

They’re bred to run but make good pets

By Nicole lawtoN

Sammy changing people’s ideas of greyhounds at the Ashburton A&P Show.

PHOTO NICOLE LAWTON 311014-NL-278

It’s a well-known fact that greyhounds are bred to race, during which time they can reach average speeds of 70km per hour and earn over $90,000 in winnings.

Less well known is all the work that goes into saving hundreds of retired greyhounds from being destroyed every year.

The 2087 greyhounds currently racing in New Zealand now have better life prospects with adoption programmes and [dog] retirement centres expanding over the country.

Greyhound Racing New Zealand alongside charity Greyhounds As Pets work to rehome as many dogs as possible by changing people’s attitudes on the muzzled mutts.

That was the idea behind bringing several pups to this year’s Ashburton A&P Show.

“They were pretty good at the show but are a bit tired now, it’s

a tough job being cute and cuddly all day,” Gemma Smith of Greyhounds As Pets said.

Greyhounds As Pets have rehomed 1200 dogs since its inception in 2006 and has another 300 dogs waiting to go through the programme.

“What a lot of people don’t realise is that greyhounds make great pets. There is a common misconception that they are aggressive because of the muzzle, or are overly energetic but they are the most laid back animals.

I have a fox terrier, doberman and a greyhound at home and it [the greyhound] is the laziest of them all,” Smith said.

“I like to think of them as the cats of the dog world.”

Greyhound Racing New Zealand are also stepping up and have recently bought a $800,000 property in Levin to use as a retirement and rehoming centre.

The facility will be the largest of its kind in New Zealand with the aim of rehoming 350 pooches per year.

Garner: TV job was a killer D

uncan Garner – for years, one of the most recognisable faces on New Zealand television – had to leave day-to-day political journalism before it killed him.

Parliament was toxic. His hours were erratic at best. The toll on his personal life – his first marriage ended – was proving too great.

“I had to get out,” he said as he prepared for a speaking engagement celebrating the merging of local law firms Tavendale and Partners and Cooney, Silva, Evatt at Tavendale Farm, Mid Canterbury, this week.

“I would have ended up in a sort of screaming heap, dead basically,” Mr Garner had been a press gallery journalist in Parliament for 17 years, of which 10 were as the political face of TV3’s political coverage.

So, for many in Parliament and in living rooms around the country, his decision to move to radio in 2012 was a shock.

But then, he was leaving a press gallery that, for him, was “not a healthy place”.

He now hosts RadioLIVE’s weekday drive show, and says the move from TV has made him really happy.

“Radio’s so energetic and it’s immediate, you know, whereas TV takes time to turn stories around. You’ve got to be on location, you’ve gotta get there, you’ve gotta have a camera. It’s a really big, thirsty beast, and it’s a slow beast, because you’ve gotta have cameras there. But television’s powerful, don’t get me wrong, I love the medium, but radio’s flexible, it can turn on a dime.”

It has been a busy year for Mr Garner, with the 2014 election one of the most memorable in recent years thanks to the firestorm of controversy surrounding the Dirty Politics saga.

“Politicians like to wake up every day and have control of the campaign, make the decisions.

“Every day Key woke up and didn’t know what was gonna hit him, because he wasn’t running it.”

Uncharacteristically, John Key stammered his way through interviews and seemed on the back foot when uncomfortable accusations were thrown his way.

But, Mr Key still managed to keep his party’s campaign on track and return the most resounding MMP victory in New Zealand electoral history.

The election may set the scene for a fourth term in office – and it had set Mr Key up as one of the great New Zealand prime ministers.

The controversy that dogged

Two years ago, popular broadcaster Duncan Garner tossed in his job as one of New Zealand’s top political reporters and headed to radio. Ashburton Guardian reporter Daisy Hudson caught up with him during a visit to Ashburton this week, to discuss his big career change, Dirty Politics, and New Zealand’s changing media landscape.

Duncan Garner is enjoying life as a radio host after escaping the “unhealthy” job of gallery reporting.

the 2014 campaign was nothing new for Mr Garner. He was central to coverage of the tea-tape saga in the lead-up to the 2011 election and, with a chuckle, he described a stormin-a-teacup that he clearly enjoyed.

The tea-tape scandal erupted after a café meeting between Mr Key and ACT Party candidate John Banks was recorded

“

tapes and we were able to taunt the PM with that for a couple of weeks,” Mr Garner said.

The political veteran has had a huge influence in the rise and fall of politicians, from holding the tea tapes to breaking the story of the $195,000 golden handshake Labour MP John Tamihere received after leaving the Waipareira Trust in 2004, with Mr Tamihere later resign-

fer today, we’ve been up in the chopper and had a look around, it’s stunning. It’s astonishing what’s on offer here.”

He is also a firm fan of the EA Networks Centre, calling it a “world-class facility”.

“That is a big-city facility in a small town. If people in Ashburton don’t realise what they’ve got there, they should pop on down to have a look.

I would have ended up in a sort of screaming heap, dead basically

by journalist Bradley Ambrose, who claimed he had accidentally left his recording device on a table after media were asked to leave the café.

The politicians involved believed their conversation had been illegally recorded and Mr Key laid a complaint with police over the incident.

“Back in 2011, I was one of the two journalists with the tea

ing. Mr Garner, who lives with his wife and children in Auckland, said election coverage was mentally exhausting, but “great fun”.

Mr Garner’s visit to Mid Canterbury was only a whirlwind trip, but he was clearly impressed with what he had seen of the area.

“After seeing what Ashburton and Mid Canterbury has to of-

I take my kids to the pool in Auckland and we ain’t got anything like that.”

Mr Garner has clearly been making friends with local power players, joking that Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay had promised him privately that he would put in a hydroslide at the complex.

Having been in the media scene for decades now, Mr

Garner has seen how the media landscape and political reporting has changed, particularly with the rise of social media.

“There used to be a bar at Parliament, and you used to go there and catch up with politicians and stuff. People don’t do that anymore, because I think there’s also a lot of lost trust with social media and that, so for politicians drinking with a journalist in parliament, who’s gonna tweet, you know, ‘I’m here with Winston Peters’.

“I think, while social media has its massive advantages, and it’s instant and it beats traditional media these days as a headline service, I’m not necessarily sure it’s all good.”

The evolution from gallery reporter to radio heavyweight has clearly been a shrewd move

by Mr Garner, and although he still appears on our TV screens as the host of TV3’s current affairs show 3rd Degree, he is clearly in his element on radio.

“I don’t like standing still, I want to keep evolving and creating.

“I had to evolve as a journalist and broadcaster and move on.”

In brief Pilot has aneurism An Air New Zealand pilot died after suffering a suspected aneurism at the controls of a plane only moments after landing in Perth. Ann Barbarich, a pilot of 27 years and one of the first female pilots to work for Air New Zealand, had just guided the plane onto the tarmac with 233 passengers from Auckland on board when the serious medical incident struck on Sunday afternoon. One of the three other pilots in the cockpit at the time took control of the plane, taxiing it to the gate while the others went to her aid. The 59-year-old died two days later of a suspected brain aneurism with her family by her side.

■ HIGH COUNTRY LAKES

Anglers set for great season

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury anglers should be out in force today with the opening of the High Country Lakes fishing season, depending on the weather.

The season opens today and runs until late April.

Ashburton MSA Club fishing section president Fred Sloper was one such angler weather watching; any sign of strong winds would see his plans to head inland halted.

He said if the wind came up inland it was “hard fishing” without decent gear.

However he knew of people heading to Lake Clearwater

for the opening day. The high country lake opening day was “pretty popular” with anglers in the district and was similar to duck shooting opening morning.

Mr Sloper said it was often the highlight of the year with many making the annual trek to the foothills to fish.

Those that did head up for opening day had their yearly rituals in place, either fishing in groups or pairs and accommodation at Lake Clearwater baches, he said.

One of the benefits of living in Mid Canterbury was its close location to some of the best fishing in the country, he

said. “We live in a real good area,” he said.

Fish & Game New Zealand communications advisor Andrew Currie said early indications were for a “nice day with wind building in the afternoon.”

He said of the Ashburton lakes district, Lake Heron was the only one with salmon, the rest were a mix of rainbow and trout.

“With great early spring conditions, I am predicting a great start to the high country season, and all lakes, and tributaries should fish well for the coming weeks,” Mr Currie said.

He urged all anglers to be-

come familiar with the regulations for catch limits and size as compliance officers were expected to be out in force. The rules were different in each region.

There was also the need to use clean equipment in the waterways.

Mr Currie expected several hundred anglers to take part in the Lake Coleridge Fishing Competition under way today.

There was more than $10,000 worth of prizes on offer.

“It’s a great fun day out for everyone, from the serious fly fisherman or boat angler, to the family who just want a nice day in the high country,” he said.

The 13-year-old rower injured when a powerboat hit a skiff on Otago Harbour faces a testing recovery after losing a piece of his upper arm bone in the incident. Zackary Molloy was seriously injured when the powerboat, driven by Otago Boys’ High School Rowing Club coach Fred Strachan, collided with the rowing eight skiff. Zackary’s father, James Molloy said Zackary was “progressing well” despite the seriousness of his injuries, which meant he would not be able to bend his right arm at the elbow.

■ FORESTRY SAFETY REVIEW

Industry backs report A comprehensive 146-page Independent Forestry Safety Review launched in Rotorua yesterday has been unequivocally backed by union and forestry representatives.

It is the result of a ninemonth consultation by a three-person review panel which heard from more than 540 forestry industry representatives, and read through 111 online submissions, as well as 330 surveys completed by forestry workers.

Among the recommendations included a contractor certification scheme, similar to a warrant of fitness, proving the contractor was operating a safe workplace.

The review panel recommended setting up of a tripartite Forestry Leadership Action Group of government, industry and workers to oversee an industry-led health and safety action plan within three

months. The action plan will commit to develop safe work practices and safe workplaces, and increase competency skill levels among workers.

There would also be a review of the safety and health code of practice in forestry.

The panel found many in the industry wanted leadership to be able to change unsafe work practices which had become the norm.

Submissions from workers voiced concern there were gaps in safe workplace and safe work standards, inadequate training and supervision, and low numbers of workers involved in pushing for better safety.

The review has set a three year implementation timeline with government, industry and workers co-operating to make the industry “safe, sustainable and professional” by 2017.

St Andrew’s parish celebrates The parish of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church celebrates its 140-year history in Ashburton this weekend. Reporter Toni Williams looks into those keeping the faith.

T

he parishioners of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church may have changed in its 140-year history, but their collective faith is as strong now as when it was first established in 1874.

This weekend St Andrew’s celebrates 140 years of existence in Ashburton.

Reverend David Brown is the minister, one of just a dozen minsters at the helm in its 140year history; there were also three interim ministers.

They have traditionally been long serving.

The first minister was Reverend H. B. Burnett who started with the parish in September 1875.

Mr Burnett covered Ashburton and 50 square miles around that.

In the course of his work, he travelled via horseback to outlying districts covering Tinwald, Wakanui, Rakaia, Methven and along the foothills.

He forded the district’s main rivers – Rakaia, Ashburton and Rangitata to spread the word to Presbyterians.

It wasn’t until the 1880s that many outlying areas of the parish formed their own congregations.

However, in town St Andrew’s parish continued to grow.

Rev Brown says the services at the time of first minister H. B. Burnett were held in the original Somerset Building in central town before it was moved to the small white church on its current site on Havelock Street.

Parishioners gathered in the smaller church before they outgrew it and the church that still stands today was built. It opened on June 23, 1907.

Over its 107-year history, the church of St Andrew’s has undergone some changes, including the addition of sanctuary, replacement of the wooden steeple with a copper one and a new social hall built on site (the Sinclair Centre) named after the minister at the time. The location of the organ has also been moved.

Just like other faiths, the number of parishioners sitting on pews each Sunday has dwindled, but Mr Brown says the people’s faith is just as strong.

There are around 250 people on the church roll and tomorrow those parishioners will hold a special celebration service.

They will recognise All Saints Day, remembering people and loved ones who have died – especially in the past year – but also celebrate the longevity of their Presbyterian faith in town.

“St Andrew’s church community has been here in the community for people in numerous phases and happenings in their lives,” he says.

The church helps and supports, but also celebrates with people who are able to find nourishment from their faith.

St Andrew’s makes an effort to keep in touch with people’s lives, using traditional teachings with a modern twist, such as their frequent blessing days.

Rev Brown says the theology helps the faith remain current and in touch with real life.

and tries to help them get the most out of their lives.

He says the doors to the church are always open for traditional weddings, funerals and celebrations, but also for community

events such as choir performances.

The church is very much about the people, Rev Brown says.

At tomorrow’s service four candles will be lit to commemorate new beginnings, endings,

experiences of life and continuing of faith.

140 years in Ashburton Bathgate will do a reading at the service.

Ministry assistant Dellwyn Moylan says after the service parishioners will take part in a communal lunch. Around 80 people were expected.

There were also thousands of photographs for people to view and children from the Sunday School had compiled boards covered with clippings about the church.

They will also be on display.

She says anyone with a past association with the church was welcome to join in its 140th celebrations at the service.

“Anyone who has an association with St Andrew’s, or may have worshipped there in the past, got married there, had their children baptised there, or farewelled a loved one is most welcome to join us,” she says.

The service starts at 10am.

Breakers subdue Crocs There will be a few more scary nights for opposition sides if the Breakers’ offence can continue performing like last night. The Breakers bounced back from a few underwhelming efforts to tame the Townsville Crocs 84-70 and provide a treat for the home fans on Halloween night at Vector Arena. Two defeats and a scrappy win saw the Breakers frightening no one but last night’s effort showed just how dangerous the once-fearsome club can still be. The Breakers put several players into double figures, shot the three-ball well all night and kept a Crocs side featuring the league’s leading scorer at arm’s length for much of the evening. While it would be reductive to view Cedric Jackson’s form as the sole difference between the listless Breakers of previous fixtures and last night’s vibrant team, there’s no doubting the point guard enjoys an enormous influence when feeling at the top of his game.

A red-hot front nine has seen Lydia Ko leap up the leaderboard at the Taiwan Championship on the LPGA Tour yesterday. After opening the tournament with a three-under par 69 at the Miramar Country Club in Taipei, Ko scorched through the start of her second day to end the round in a share of third. Ko rattled off six straight birdies, starting from the third hole, to make the turn in just 30 strokes and appear in with a crack at the record low-round of 59 on the LPGA Tour.

The group has been trimmed to four - New Zealand’s best athlete, Christchurch’s Andrea Hewitt, plus Nicky Samuels of Wanaka, along with leading men Ryan Sissons (North Shore) and Tony Dodds (Wanaka).

McIlroy, who has competed at the London Olympics in 2012 and this year’s Glasgow Commonwealth Games, has lost her spot due to form. She has been bugged by injuries, but Triathlon New Zealand high performance boss Graeme Maw said the door remains open for her return.

Ashburton athletes clean up

By Jonathan Leask

Superbike racer Bailie Perriton and Mayfield rower Renee Olley took the supreme honours at the Aoraki Secondary Schools’ Sports Awards in Timaru last night.

Perriton, who won the New Zealand 250cc Production title in the New Zealand Superbike Series and has had some success racing across the Tasman, was the male sportsperson of the year.

Olley was the female sportsperson of the year after a big year on the water, represent-

ing New Zealand at the World Rowing Junior Championships in Germany and at the Youth Olympic Games in China after winning gold at the Maadi Cup national secondary schools’ championships.

Understandably, Olley was also crowned the top female rower for the year.

Olley – who attends Craighead - followed in the footsteps of fellow Mayfield and Craighead rower, Emma Dyke, who was named the sportsperson of the year last year.

As well as scooping the top prizes, Mid Canterbury athletes

featured heavily on the night.

Mount Hutt College’s Aimee Elliott and Ashburton College’s Matthew Clough were the sporting all-rounders of the year, with both finalists in three other categories.

College also had plenty of individuals get the nod in their chosen sports field as the player of the year.

They included Tessa Morrison (basketball), Deon Biggs (cricket), Jessie Banks (cycling), Jessica Windhorst (karate), Lanelle Millar-McArthur (smallbore rifle shooting), Matthew Harford (swimming),

Abby Brownlie (taekwondo), Hannah Wright (waterskiing), Hugh Donaldson (waterskiing) and Stacey Hopwood (umpire/ referee).

Mt Hutt also had Melanie Puckett (cricket), Edmund Fordyce (croquet), Nicole Purdom (rugby), Kenji Boekholt (skiing).

Another ex-pat, Lucinda Askin, who attends Geraldine High School, was the top equestrian.

Ashburton College’s Sue Johnstone was also presented with a community contribution to sport award.

Silver Ferns resume normal service

By Dana Johannsen The Silver Ferns have managed to round out a disastrous season on a more positive note, salvaging a series win against England in Palmerston North last night.

After a 42-38 loss to the tourists in Rotorua last Tuesday, the Ferns were in danger of losing a home series against the English for the first time in 51 years of competition between the two nations.

But a 14-goal win in game two last night was enough to ensure the Taini Jamison trophy remained in New Zealand’s hands as they snapped a six-game los-

ing run that stretched back to the Commonwealth Games semifinal.

Still, after the year they have had, the post-season reviews will not be a pleasant task for Waimarama Taumaunu and her management team.

They will take some heart from last night’s performance, in which the Ferns led from start to finish extending their lead at every break.

The Ferns were particularly impressive over the final quarter, putting their foot down to win the period 14-6 and rack up a convincing 52-38 win.

The Ferns once again man-

aged to keep England to another modest total of 38 goals through relentless court pressure rather than any spectacular individual defensive efforts.

But the key difference from their opening loss was their execution in the shooting circle, as they improved a dismal 62 per cent shooting effort in game one with the return of sharp-shooter Cathrine Latu to the goal circle.

Under huge pressure to perform following a 50 per cent shooting effort in the opening test, veteran Jodi Brown was also instrumental as she dictated the pace around the attack end and had an impressive 24/30 return.

Silver Ferns skipper Laura Langman said after a long tough international season, her side were relieved to finally get a breakthrough at the end.

“It was really nice to end the season on a high - it’s been a tough run and it’s just so good to be able to do the job out there tonight,” said Langman.

After being benched for the past two games following a poor outing against Australia in Sydney, Latu made the most of her opportunities last night to lead all scorers with 26 goals.

England were unable to rattle the home side the way they did in game one.

Andrew Rudd is ambitious, and has photos online good reason to be. guardianonline.co.nz Last Sunday at the 25th anniversary of the Greymouth Street Race Rudd claimed a convincing clean sweep in the Formula 3 on his Honda CBR 450.

Originally from Blenheim the mechanic came down to work at Honda Country six months ago and will join the likes of Lewis Dray and Bailie Perriton at the nationals.

The 24-year-old has only been racing for 18 months but has already produced some strong results.

“Last year I entered in Greymouth and came second and I had only been racing a couple of months before that.” Rudd said.

“I went back this year with the goal to win.”

He did just that, winning in style taking out each of the three races by at least 100m.

He is now setting his sights on next year’s Superbike National Series, determined to finish on the podium.

“I’m aiming towards the nationals in January and I’ll be aiming for the top three.

“I got seventh this year and only competed in three of the four rounds.

“I’m pretty confident I can aim for top three and be thereabouts.”

Rudd will race the Superlite class, another name for the formula 3.

Last year he raced at Ruapuna, Levels and Taupo before mechanical problems ruled him out of the final round of the series in Manfeild.

Firstly he has another big outing at another prestigious race beforehand, the Burt Munro Challenge.

The annual event in Southland at the end of November will see him contest a hill climb near Bluff, a road race at Teretonga and a street race in Wyndham, all of which will be good experience ahead of his nationals campaign.

Motorsport is a tough environment and Rudd is hoping to get some sponsorship in behind him for his podium push, so after flying around the roads last weekend today Rudd will be stationary, showing off Andrew Rudd has joined the growing ranks of superbike speedsters in Mid Canterbury. his bike at the Ashburton Show.

Vettel may skip Austin F1 qualifying Daniel Ricciardo conceded yesterday that his Red Bull teammate and four time champion Sebastian Vettel may duck out of qualifying at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix because of an enforced power unit change.

But, said the Australian, it was not certain this would happen and he suggested that the German was not keen to disappoint his fans back at a circuit where

Ashburton Guardian 25

he was a convincing winner last year.

“I don’t think it’s decided finally yet, but if the power unit on his car is changed he will have to start from the pit lane and so there is not much point in fighting for pole position if that happens,” said Ricciardo.

Vettel revealed his dilemma when he took part in one of the main promotional activi-

ties ahead of the race, driving his Red Bull car on the Texas streets just as this year’s championship leader Lewis Hamilton was taking part in a similar stunt in New York.

Vettel, who leaves Red Bull at the end of the season, said: “We need to see, we need to confirm, but yes, we have to get an extra power unit at some stage this season, and it’s very likely it will be here.”

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton said “it would suck big time” if he failed to win this year’s world championship in Abu Dhabi because of F1’s controversial decision to award double points at the final race. Looking calm and confident throughout a routine drivers’ news conference at the Circuit of the Americas, Hamilton said he was not wasting energy thinking about it. - AFP

Adesanya wildcard Kiwi kickboxer Israel Adesanya has already won an eightman fighting tournament this year but wants to add another crown to his hit list next month. The 25-year-old, who is 40-2 as a kickboxer and won August’s King in the Ring event in Auckland, was confirmed yesterday as the New Zealand wildcard for the cruiserweight Super 8 boxing contest on the North Shore on November 22.

Redmond Heartland

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Rated by his coaches as the best player in the Heartland Rugby competition, Mid Canterbury flanker Gary Redmond received the Morgan Trophy as Heartland Player of the Year at the Mid Canterbury Rugby Awards at the Hotel Ashburton last night.

Redmond was a dynamic defender, an expert poacher and strong ball carrier for the Hammers in their Meads Cup winning campaign, highlighted by his huge tackle count in last weekend’s final win over Buller in Westport.

His exploits had already earned him a call-up to the Heartland XV, and Redmond could also be a frontrunner for Heartland Player of the Year at the New Zealand Rugby Awards in December.

The man who labelled Redmond the best in the competition, Glenn Moore, received another parting gift. Moore took away the Neville Goodwin Memorial Trophy as Mid Canterbury Coach of the Year.

Redmond’s partner in crime, Tevita Ula was named the Heartland Forward of the Year, top points scorer Murray Williams the back of the year and Jon Sharpe the Heartland Best Team Man. The Hammers’ top try scorer, Seta Koroitamana, was honoured for his efforts earlier in the season and named Mid Canterbury Sevens Player of the Year, receiving the Cousins Cup. The Mid Canterbury Development Team’s Player of the Year was Willie Hintz.

The big winner in the club awards was Methven, named the 2014 Club of the Year.

The Open Grade awards had Rakaia’s Watters Cup-winning combination of Simon Lee, Merv Todd and Wayne Foxcroft the Open Grade Coach of the Year while the Rakaia seniors also received the Heartland Bank Positive Play Award.

The MB Roulston Cup for most points in senior rugby went to Methven’s Dan Maw, the Roy Smith Memorial for best conduct in Open Grade

rugby went to Mt Somers Senior Bs and the Body Cup for Best Open Grade Captain went to Tinwald senior Bs’ Cameron McCormick.

In the teenage grades the Coach of the Year went to Geoff Wright and John Harrison who led the Ashburton College Girls’ 1st XV to win the Aoraki Secondary Schools’ competition, with the team also receiving a special award in recognition of their outstanding season.

Special awards in JAB club rugby had the Pauline Ball Trophy go to Methven W as the most improved under 9 team, and the Methven under 13s picked up the Bruce Printing Tray for the best average points in JAB rugby.

The Methven under 13 coaches, Al Harkness and Nathan Currie, were the JAB caches of the year with Methven also awarded the Len Sandrey Trophy for best conduct.

The game’s whistleblowers were also honoured and the Mid Canterbury Referee of the Year was Kevin Opele, taking home

Carter easing his way back

BY GREGOR PAUL If everything goes to plan tomorrow, Daniel Carter will return in an All Black jersey.

The coaches want to give him at least 20 minutes.

Preferably 30.

They are not expecting miracles.

Carter isn’t either and nor should anyone else.

If, and most likely, when Carter gets on he’ll be looking to do nothing more than ease his way into the test arena.

He’s fully fit. He’s not suffering any nerve pain and has been running freely at training.

But he has only played 40 minutes since he broke his leg in early August.

And before that, he’d only managed a handful of games since returning from his sabbatical.

It would be foolish to believe he can set the world on fire on his first outing.

And just as foolish to then say, when he doesn’t, that he’s not the player he used to be.

Judgment on that will have to wait.

Wait for Carter to get back into the groove and get himself match-fit.

He plays in a position where so much is about timing, feel and vision.

Even a great such as himself needs a little bit of time in the saddle for the old instincts to sharpen.

Even Carter needs time to get into his flow and find his rhythm.

Daniel Carter

Soldier Field will be a start.

Hopefully.

It should enable him, if nothing else, to forget about his leg entirely.

Inevitably, when any player returns from a serious injury, they carry an element of trepidation about whether they are truly fixed.

They worry, somewhere in the back of their mind, that the damaged part won’t handle the collisions.

Getting rid of that mental clutter is an important step and so too will be getting through the test without any ramifications.

It has been a while since Carter managed to get through any game of rugby without some health consequences.

So for the moment, it is baby steps, but Carter has shown an uncanny ability over the years to astound.

the Ant McGirr Trophy.

Ken Pottinger received the Findlay Cup for Commitment to Refereeing, and the Pierce Trophy went to Matt Gallagher as the most improved referee.

The MacPherson Family Intermediate and Junior Referee of the Year was Dale Gray.

For his outstanding contribution, Charlie Kelland was awarded the Life Members Cup. One of the premier awards on the night, the Volunteer Services Award, went to Stu Leadley who received the Philip McDonald Cup from Sharon McDonald.

Other representative awards: Grade Players of the Year: Under 48kg Archie Redfern, Under 65kg Marcus Bishop, Under 14 Liam McCormack, Robert Woodham under 14 Cup Liam McCormack, Under 16: Dallas McLeod, Under 18 Kirk Chettleburgh.

Mid Canterbury Development Team: Best Back Andrew Fluker, Best Forward Ross McKay, Best Team Man Matt Winter.

Sonny

BY GREGOR PAUL The All Blacks aren’t quite sure what they will get from Sonny Bill Williams in Chicago.

They hope he will blow their socks off, but don’t particular care if he doesn’t.

Williams is not a player they need to rush. The coaching staff know his potential.

They saw enough in Williams’ first stint between 2010 and 2012 to believe he can be something special: One of the best the game has known.

He isn’t going to be that player on Sunday.

He hasn’t played a test since August 2012, and barely even played rugby in the interim either.

“What we will see from Sonny over a period – probably not first game up - is him get better and better as a rugby player,” said head coach Steve Hansen.

“He’s a freakish athlete and he could become one of the very best we have ever had.

New role for Cane Sam Cane hasn’t started a game - of any kind - since May. He’s gone the better part of six months living off scraps. On the surface it may not appear to have been a vintage season for Cane. He and Tanerau Latimer shared duties for much of the first half of the campaign, until Cane damaged his knee in late May. Since then, he’s seen 103 minutes of test action. It’s not much, but it has been enough for Cane to look every inch the successor to Richie McCaw. Cane has become the new Beauden Barrett - the All Blacks’ highest impact player.

y Bill - what will we get? don’t know what we will get. I’m not too bothered if we only get a little bit.

“I’ll be excited if we get a lot, but it doesn’t really matter for us.

What matters is that he’s back and understanding how we are playing now because we are playing differently to how we were when he left.

“We just need him to grow his understanding of what we need him to do.”

It says an enormous amount about the faith the All Black coaching staff have in Williams that they have been prepared to throw him into test football on the back of a couple of hit outs for Counties.

But with Williams, the known facts never quite tell the full story.

He’s given the selectors plenty of reasons to feel confident: To be sure they are not taking a risk with him.

For a start, he’s in his usual immaculate physical condition.

Williams is heavier than he’s been, and yet leaner, too. At 108kg his skin fold measurement

Sonny Bill Williams: ‘His preparation skills are sensational.’

shows only 35mm of fat – easily the lowest in the squad and proof that his conditioning is all there and more.

His appetite for learning has not diminished either and his conversion from league back to rugby, began, in some aspects at least, before the Roosters were knocked out of the NRL competition.

“He’s been really systematic in his approach and he has been for quite some time,” said Hansen.

“He was training to play rugby

while in Sydney – long before he finished with the Roosters. He’s been meticulous about his preparation which is one of the key things that make him such a good athlete apart from being a freak – naturally, genetically.

“His preparation skills are sensational.”

Hansen isn’t concerned, longer term, about Williams being able to make the switch back to rugby.

Having had a year with the Crusaders, a year with the Chiefs and

19 All Black tests, Williams has a solid grounding in the game.

It’s not the same situation at all as when he first arrived in 2010 after two seasons in France. Back then he barely knew the game and what experience he had was not necessarily relevant in relation to the type of rugby he’d be playing in New Zealand.

It is Williams’ attention to detail that Hansen is a little worried about.

“He’s already a mile ahead of where he was in picking the game up when he first came because he’s had the advantage of playing for the Chiefs, Crusaders and All Blacks whereas last time he’d only played for Toulon,” Hansen said. “French rugby is different to our game.

“So he’s got a feel for it. The only worry I have is that he gets over prepared and over thinks it.

“After Thursday it is about letting his instincts kick in and he’s got great instincts. When you put great instincts with a six foot four guy who has got speed and power things happen.”

Halloween and family commitments will anchor Kevin Swords around home this weekend but the former USA lock was at the epicentre of his team’s last All Blacks encounter. Swords was a talented basketballer who used those skills to balance the combative skills needed in rugby.

He and his mates delivered a robust physical examination which the All Blacks never subdued as they clashed in the World Cup 23 years ago in Gloucester. “We looked them in the eye and said we were aggressive players just like the All Blacks,” Swords recalled. “The All Blacks were better players but we were good athletes. We did much better than anyone anticipated.”

Kiwis England tour confirmed

BY DAVID SKIPWITH The Kiwis’ 2015 schedule is set to be finalised with dates for a three-test end-of-year tour to England confirmed, while discussions are continuing with Australia about hosting the annual Anzac test at Eden Park.

The Kiwis will take on England on three consecutive weekends and although venues are yet to be confirmed, the first test has been scheduled for Friday, October 30, with the second and third games to follow on November 7 and November 14.

“The English Rugby League are looking at the logistics of where but the dates have been confirmed,” said NZRL chief executive Phil Holden.

Warm-up matches were yet to be finalised but Holden was confident at least one match would be added to the itinerary.

“We’re working through that and there are a couple of options there. I’m pretty confident that we’ll have something either on the way up there [to the UK] or over there.”

A meeting between the Rugby League International Federation

New Zealand Rugby League Chief Executive Phil Holden.

members in Brisbane last week involved talks about increasing the amount of international fixtures and improving the competitiveness and commercial viability of the game. The Four Nations tournament is set to be scrapped with the international calendar set for an overhaul following the 2017 World Cup. As part of the proposed revamp, the introduction of a new mini-tournament in the middle year between World Cups might replace the Four Nations, and a return to old-style tours is also on the cards.

Reports from Australia have suggested a Nines tournament could replace the Four Nations model while Holden said a Confederations Cup format might be in place by 2019.

“One of the big topics was the Four Nations as a structure and as a tournament. We’re going to review that.

“Is it time to change, can we do something different, and what does that look like,” Holden explained.

“In the short term, [we were] looking at the 2018 to 2021 period. There could be more of a

mini-tournament between the World Cup, potentially 2019, of some description, a Confederations Cup, so we’ve got agreement on what that might look like. Potentially the tour model might come back on to the agenda for 2020 and 2021 would be the World Cup. “There’s a lot of work to be done but that was broadly where we’ve ended up. Everybody was thinking that might actually be a model that could be explored.”

Stand-alone tests against Australia are set to continue at the discretion of both nations and Holden is intent on growing the national game.

“We don’t have a big professional competition like England and Australia so our needs are quite simple, we want to play more regularly and we need to make it more commercially viable.”

The RLIF are also due to confirm both the qualifying structure for the 2017 World Cup and the appointment of a new CEO, amid rumours that an offer has been made to a candidate from a rugby union background.

■ OPINION

Hammers put it all on the track

T

he Hammers’ victory over Buller last weekend to take their tally of Meads Cup wins to two consecutives is notable for, oh, about a hundred reasons.

Where to start?

The players themselves seems like a good sort of place.

From the back, we had a custodian who a year ago didn’t quite know his place - everyone in Mid Canterbury knew Richard Catherwood was a handy firstfive second-five centre fullback (did he play wing as well?) but this year he’s cemented his spot as first-choice fullback, solid as the proverbial, good hands and always champing at the bit to join the attack.

And that attack has all season looked potent.

Last Saturday Brenton Connell finally got the clear air to show exactly what he could do (that in the process he destroyed the man who had caused every team serious problems made it doubly delicious); Seta Koroitamana followed the team plans to the letter and burned his rival with sheer pace to pick up his brace of tries, Nete Caucau and Peni Manumanuniwila have always looked ready to explode on their opposite numbers.

Murray Williams.

At season’s start after watching Williams (and Gary Redmond) smash South Canterbury, I wrote that if those two remained fit and in-form, the Hammers would be keeping the Meads Cup in the cabinet for another year.

Last Saturday, a fit and in-form Williams and Redmond combined to ensure that the trophy stayed right where it belonged.

While Williams looked like Mehrts at his best, seeming to have extra time to create space for himself to always make the right choices, Redmond on the other hand made it virtually impossible for Williams’ counterpart to do anything remotely like it.

The Buller first-five has all season looked the goods, setting his backline alight or running/ kicking himself to superb effect; but he would surely all this week be having nightmares about a woolly-looking terrier charging at him for 80 minutes.

If Redmond was the leading man in the loose, then Tevita Ula and Pinetree’s mate Jon Dampney would both have scored Oscars for Best Supporting Cast.

The engine room.

Apparently the reason why the

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

TAB, usually very good judges because that’s what they do for a living, had the home side as favourites to win the Meads Cup. Well sometimes they get it wrong.

In this case, horribly wrong.

Duff, Smith, Groom, Fleetwood and Donlan were as solid a unit as you could wish for, maybe once they got it wrong and were shunted off the ball, but for the vast majority of the game outplayed their rivals comprehensively.

Young Jackson Donlan had some lineout throwing horrors a few games ago - there was obviously no panic, just back to the drawing board and fix it, and he was superb in that respect, and all round the park.

A few years ago if a front row forward caught a high ball it would be front page news; last Saturday Simon Fleetwood caught three, a couple under pressure, and again that was just

one part of a complete game.

With a back-up bench just buzzing to get on the paddock, the Mid Canterbury Hammers were not to be denied. If you’ve been smashed for 70 minutes, are you going to welcome the sight of Lua charging at you at 90 mph?

With the coaching staff putting in a million hours watching video of their opposition and putting all the right plans into place, the pieces of the puzzle fell together superbly, end result the Meads Cup is still in Mid Canterbury’s cabinet.

Maybe there was a touch of the awestruck as the Buller boys were in foreign territory as far as finals rugby go, but it was more the fact they were thoroughly outplayed on the day, in every department.

A biased, jingoistic rant?

Maybe, but I don’t care.

Complete team performances like that just don’t come around that often, and while comparisons with teams of the past are somewhat pointless, I’d be thinking that the Mighty Men of Mid, the team that put a hattrick on our giant big brother up the road a few years back, would be quite impressed with their successors.

Up for new challenges

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton cyclist Alex Hooper will tackle the gruelling Tour of Southland for the first time next week.

Following his maiden tour in the Deep South the 19-year-old will relocate to Cambridge to the BikeNZ High Performance Centre in Cambridge to refocus on track cycling.

Before he hits the track he will have to survive his hardest week on the road in Southland.

“It will be interesting what’s in store for me because you hear plenty of stories about it,” Hooper said.

“I’ve done the junior tour a few times but you just can’t compare that to the big one. It’s going to be a completely different ball game.”

The riding has its difficulties but the tipping point is the fabled Southland weather, with gales and sometimes even snow lashing the riders.

After tomorrow’s team time trial in Invercargill, Hooper will cover 900km over six days in his maiden tour, but he’s up for the challenge.

“I’m in the best road form I’ve ever had coming off a good result at the end of the Benchmark series and have a good team.

“There is plenty of experience there to help me through it and I think I’m in a good head space to get through it.”

Hooper will ride with the Breads of Europe - All About

Alex Hooper: On the move to Cambridge.

Plumbing team that features Michael Vink and Hayden McCormick, who are both touted as potential contenders to win the tour with the notable absence of the big gun professionals.

Hayden Roulston, Greg Henderson, Jack Bauer, George Bennett, Jesse Sergent and Sam Bewley are all absent as the UCI’s rules make it extremely difficult for World Tour riders to compete for any team outside of their professional one.

That opens the door for one of the up-and-coming riders to claim the major honours.

Not Hooper.

He’s just hoping to survive the race but if an opportunity presents itself he’ll give it a nudge.

“I’m there as support for our main riders, Michael Vink and Hayden McCormick, but you never know.

“I can’t climb so the general classification goes out the window but possibly a stage win on a flat stage if things fall into place.

“It will be my first big tour racing as a team so I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from it.”

Hooper has already gained plenty of experience this year.

He spent part of the year in Europe with the Commonwealth Games team, getting in some racing as well, which Hooper really benefited from.

“It really set me up well coming back, even though it took

me a bit of time to get back into form.”

That form saw him step onto the podium in the Benchmark Elite series finale, but he has also put in the hard work.

“I’ve just trained so hard the last few months, and it has paid off.

“I’ve never really been a great roadie but it’s all been falling in to place lately and hopefully that continues in Southland.”

The track specialist will get to test his mettle one last time on the road before turning his attention back to the track, relocating to Cambridge straight after the Tour.

“I’ll be based up there through the world cup season and hopefully I can push to go to a world cup in January and then track nationals are after that.

“Following the track nationals everything will get re-selected and I’ll see where I’m at.”

If he produces a big effort the Rio Olympics could be on the cards, but Hooper is more realistic about his track goals.

“I think I’m there for the next phase, the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018 and Tokyo 2020, is where they are looking for me unless I pull something out over the next few months.”

The track is where his long term goals lie but the finish line of the demanding Tour of Southland is in his immediate sights.

Lauren off to Mexico Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis and the rest of the Bike track team depart for the first World Cup in Mexico today. Ellis and company are bound for Guadalajara to prepare to contest the Olympic events of team sprint, team pursuit, omnium, sprint and keirin over a shorter two and a half day programme from November 7-9.

Tough times for Tour It is not just the Tour of Southland cyclists who have to push through a heavy headwind - the organisers have been enduring a buffeting as well.

The ongoing battle for sponsorship remains a challenge, and the UCI’s rule changes have stripped the tour of some of the stars the event has attracted in the past. There was a time when the tour might have hoped to build on its strong local profile and become more of a global event. But with UCI rules making it difficult for top riders to race for teams outside of their professional or national team, the days of New Zealand’s top cyclists gracing the Tour appear over.

Brockie looking for goals against Victory

By DanieL RichaRDson Jeremy Brockie enjoys playing against the Melbourne Victory.

The man of many A-League clubs, five to be precise, has found the back of the net seven times in 15 appearances against the Victory since he began his time in the competition with the now-defunct New Zealand Knights back in 2005.

Brockie is yet to score for the Wellington Phoenix this season and as Ernie Merrick’s side head across the Tasman to meet the Victory at AAMI Park on Monday night, the striker knows he needs to get off the mark.

Despite Brockie’s lack of goals, Wellington haven’t had any problems in the attacking department with Nathan Burns

and Michael McGlinchey both in hot form as the Phoenix have started the season with two wins from their first three games.

“As long as we are winning games it doesn’t really bother me who’s scoring the goals,” Brockie said.

“But it’s good to see that we are finally scoring goals on a regular basis and finishing teams off.”

The Phoenix were hardly clinical in the front third of the field last season but the arrival of Burns and McGlinchey has given the side an extra touch of class.

Brockie, who has impressed Merrick during the first three games of the campaign, was confident his time would come to get on the score sheet.

“Everyone’s going to have hot and cold patches so I’ll just make sure that when one of [Burns and McGlinchey] goes a little bit cold, I’m ready to step up,” Brockie said.

“I do have a pretty good record against the Victory, I think.”

Merrick pointed out that it was unfair to judge a striker on pure numbers and said Brockie was a crucial part of Wellington’s front three.

“The role of a striker is to score goals and they’re easily measured by that,” Merrick said.

“But I look for a little bit more; their work ethic off the ball, if they’re able to set up other players et cetera and he’s contributing really well.”

The Victory might be near the pointy end of the A-League

ladder but there is hardly a better time for the Phoenix to meet them.

Melbourne endured a horror mid-week FFA Cup clash against the Perth Glory where Adrian Leijer and Daniel Georgievski picked up red cards and they will be suspended for Monday’s game. French defender Matthieu Delpierre is also unlikely to play due to a hamstring injury, while goal-scoring ace Besart Berisha left the field against the Glory with a groin ailment and his status was unknown.

Despite all of Melbourne’s woes, Merrick said he expected a tough examination.

“If you’re focused on playing in the finals you’ve got to be prepared to beat everyone’s best team.”

Arsene Wenger’s side claimed three points for the first time in four games when two goals from Alexis Sanchez secured victory at Sunderland last weekend.

That moved Arsenal up to fifth in the table, nine points adrift of leaders Chelsea, and they could break into the top four if they see off Burnley and West Ham slip up at Stoke City. - AFP

Man U smell blood Scarred by a run of three games without victory, misfiring Premier League champions Manchester City will attempt to reassert their authority when they host derby rivals Manchester United this weekend.

Having blown a two-goal lead to draw at CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, City fell six points behind leaders Chelsea after losing at West Ham United and were then knocked out of the League Cup by Newcastle United.

■ WHEY POWDER

In brief

China lifts Fonterra ban per cent of the country’s dairy exports to China. The temporary ban didn’t impact whole milk powder and skim milk powder or imports of infant milk formula that had already been processed.

The whey powder is used in a variety of products while the whey-based dairy base powder is sold to third-party manufacturers who turn it into infant formula.

When news of the on-going ban was revealed by MPI in April, Fonterra said it didn’t

think the suspension warranted mentioning until it had been lifted.

At the time it said the affected product represented a small amount of its exports and overall trade volumes to China had increased 15 per cent compared with 2013.

New Zealand’s biggest dairy co-operative was fined $300,000 in April for causing the food safety scare that Judge Peter Hobbs said had “shaken” New Zealand’s reputation as an exporter.

product development and acquisitions,” Ricketts said.

This week Heartland had its credit rating lifted to BBB by Fitch Ratings, its second upgrade of the year, due to the better quality of its assets, and the fatter margins on offer from its strategy to target niche lending.

Earlier this year the lender bought a reverse mortgage business from Seniors Money International for $87 million and took a 10 per cent stake in peerto-peer lender HarMoney as it seeks to accelerate growth.

Heartland anticipates modest lending growth in its business and rural loan books, with consumer finance lending expected to grow 5 to 10 per cent, according to presentation slides accompanying chief executive Jeff Greenslade’s presentation.

Lending at its consumer unit increased 2 per cent in the first quarter, lagging a 4 per cent gain in business receivables and a 6 per cent increase in rural loans.

The shares rose 1 per cent to $1.01, and have gained 18 per cent this year.

Westland Milk Products, New Zealand’s second biggest dairy cooperative, is proposing a new capital structure that would see its shareholder farmers issued with investment shares annually on top of the existing milk share.

Xero, the cloud-based accounting firm, slowed its quarterly cash burn in the September quarter from the June period as customer receipts accelerated faster than staff costs.

Net operating cash outflow was $9.56m in the three months ended September 30, compared to an outflow of $17.3m in the June quarter.

Heartland New Zealand, the bank formed through the merger of Canterbury and Southern Cross building societies with Marac Finance, affirmed its earnings guidance for the 2015 financial year, and sees annual consumer lending growth of up to 10 per cent.

The Christchurch-based lender expects profit of $42 million to $45 million in the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, compared to profit of $36 million in the 2014 year, chairman Geoff Ricketts told shareholders in Auckland.

The lender is on track to meet that with first-quarter profit of $11 million, he said.

Chinese authorities have lifted a temporary ban on the importation of Fonterra Cooperative Group’s whey powder and dairy base powder used in the manufacture of infant formula that has been in place since August last year in the wake of the dairy company’s botulism scare.

At the time, Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings said he was confident the suspension could be lifted within 48 hours.

Fonterra is refusing further comment on the move which was announced by the Ministry for Primary Industries.

A ban by Russia imposed at the same time remains in place.

Though MPI officials are still negotiating to get the ban lifted, it says no timeframe for doing so has yet been agreed on.

The temporary suspension accounted for a third of New Zealand’s dairy exports to China which were valued at $2.6 billion in 2012.

A potent symbol Stu Oldham

EDITOR

R

eopening and reusing the former Ashburton Winz building as a community hub will show the world that ours is not a district that gives up on what it believes is right.

There have been calls for the Winz building to be knocked over and turned into a memorial park for the women killed and injured in the shootings that happened there in September.

People have said the building has been tainted by what happened; that it is all-but tapu and that it should not be put to any other use than as a place to reflect on the terrible tragedy.

These calls are understandable and, in the weeks that followed the shootings, it was difficult to see why anyone would want to have anything to do with what seemed such a tainted place.

So the building has sat empty, the Community Hub signs removed and windows covered with paper. It has been a memorial-by-default, stuck in a time that shattered so many lives.

And so it would have surprised many that the people behind Ashburton’s Community House, our own home-grown social service centre, would pitch a plan to buy the building.

It says it’s aware of the sensitivities surrounding the site and that the victims’ families, the Social Development Ministry and Community House tenants are comfortable with the idea.

They may be comfortable, but others will struggle with the idea of reusing a building that – despite all the good done by those who worked there – remains a potent symbol of tragedy.

In the days after the shootings, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay memorably said the shootings should not define Ashburton; the town should be defined by how it responds.

If the proposal gets the necessary support – let’s not forget the role of ratepayers – then part of the response will be to re-establish the building as a place that works for its community.

From a potent symbol of tragedy, it will become a potent symbol of a positive community.

Given all that has happened, it deserves community support.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Will you be attending the Ashburton A&P Show?

No 75%

Hanne Nielsen

Yes 25%

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

W

hen I lived up in Auckland, the word “show” carried connotations of a night out at the theatre, or a laser light projection on the downtown ferry building.

Sparkles and spectacular were in; tractors, not so much.

Since moving south, the word show has variously been prefixed with “quilt”, “dog”, and of course “A&P”, widening both my horizons and knowledge of rural necessities.

This weekend the show is back, and this year, I finally know what to expect.

First, there will be a whole range of jumping-related events, featuring horses, dogs and highly co-ordinated kilted dancers.

The intricacies of horses and highland dancing remain a mystery to me, but when it comes to the dogs, I’ve done my prep.

Volunteering at the Ashburton dog agility show opened my eyes to the range of dogs that compete, from ankle to hip height, and the many different leaping styles that exist, from the dainty hop to the mighty bound.

Next, there will be cakes on display. Fresh cakes. Despite the fact that entries must be received well prior to the event, the baked goods themselves arrive on the day.

I learned this from the Methven show, where the discrepancy between entry date and the show itself left me most concerned that my perfectly square, meticulously prepared scones would have gone mouldy come judging.

Then there are the tractors and seeds and machinery

that really put the ‘A’ in ‘A&P’.

Growing is an important business down this way and there is a huge amount of science that goes into soil preparation and improving yields.

The show is, of course, a prime opportunity to put the technologies behind new agricultural advances on display.

Cue GPS integrated systems, shiny new imports and a yard full of lads looking as gleeful as kids in a lifesize Lego playground. Throw in the odd hotdog stand and you’re sorted.

The closest that I ever got to an agricultural show up in Auckland was the time I stopped by the carnivorous plants expo one Sunday morning.

I have a feeling we were the first visitors of the day, be-

cause the plant-rearers waived the entry fee and plied us with specimens of New Zealand native bug-eaters to take home to our flat and nurture up to competition size for the next year.

Which of the dozen native insect-eating varieties they were I couldn’t say, but we didn’t have an ant problem that summer, that’s for sure.

Neither did we have the carnival atmosphere that comes with the annual A&P event.

Rural shows may be less cabaret and more field day, but there’s more than enough entertainment behind those gates to keep even a thespian-loving lass from the city entertained for the day.

So what are you waiting for?

It’s show time!

So what are you going to believe?

W

hat do you believe?

“I have my own beliefs.” I hear that

often...

So what are you going to believe? The scholar whose bitterness toward God has caused him to reject any possibility that the Bible is true and whose bias has led him to misinterpret scientific and historic observation?

Or will you believe the man who healed the sick, made the lame walk again, caused the blind to see, calmed the raging sea, raised the dead to live again, died for you and rose again to prove He was and IS God? The Bible says that many have considered themselves wise and have become fools.

(Romans 1:22) Many have traded eternal peace and security for temporary gain – in the end they will have neither!

Ashburton Guardian 33

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

It saddens me to see so many parents, several generations now, thinking they know better than Jesus!

For every one who says that the Bible is a “book of fairy tales”, I’ll show you someone who was willing to die – not to earn eternal life, but because he would not deny the Christ Who died so that he could have eternal life!

As missionary Jim Elliot put it: “No man is a fool who gives up that which he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”

While you are too busy to think about spiritual things, your children are growing up thinking life is about a better job, a bigger house, bigger par-

ties and bigger toys.

Are they given an option to hear about Jesus? Do they even know that Jesus is more than a cuss word?

Jesus rebuked the wise men of his day for not seeking the truth themselves and for preventing others from finding the “key of knowledge”. (Matthew 23:13; Luke 11:52) He called them hypocrites. He said it would be better for a man to be drowned in the sea than to offend a child – preventing that child from finding and believing the truth. (Matthew 18:1-6) By rejecting Jesus you take away the key to eternal security for you and your family.

You busy yourself with the many things that will fill your life with temporary happiness and temporary gain – while preventing any thought of the truth Jesus desires for you. He said: “What shall it profit a

man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul.”

(Mark 8:36) So who are you going to believe? Are you so confident in what you believe that you would gamble your eternity on it?

Your family’s eternity?

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:13, 14) It is one thing to be too busy to hear it yourself. It is even worse to prevent others from hearing! So what are you going to believe?

Gas deal clinched Moscow and Kiev clinched a multi-billion dollar deal that will guarantee that Russian gas exports flow into Ukraine and beyond to the European Union throughout the winter despite their intense rivalry over the fighting in eastern Ukraine. EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, whose offices mediated the talks for months, said the EU will also help cash-strapped Ukraine with the payments through aid and guarantees. “There is now no reason for people in Europe to stay cold this winter,” he said.

Apple CEO comes out A car burns outside the parliament building in Burkina Faso as people protest against their longtime president Blaise Compaore who is seeking another term in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

PHOTO AP

President vows to stay put Burkina Faso’s long-time leader refused to resign in the face of violent protests that posed the greatest threat to his nearly three-decade rule, saying instead he will lead a transitional government after parliament was dissolved.

Protesters stormed the parliament building and set part of it ablaze in a day of violence around the country to stop a parliamentary vote that would have allowed President Blaise Compaore to seek a fifth term in office.

At least one person was killed and several others were wounded amid the melee, authorities said, and a curfew

was put in place from 7pm to 6am. A state of emergency was imposed for several hours but lifted later.

In a concession to the protesters, the government withdrew the bill from consideration.

But the move did not placate the protesters, and Army Gen. Honore Traore, the joint chief of staff, later announced that government and parliament had been dissolved and a new, inclusive government would be named.

After hours of confusion about whether Compaore would hold on to power or even where he was, the president spoke briefly on television

and radio to stay he was still in charge and would not step down.

“I am available to open discussions with all parties,” he said in a recorded address. The transitional government will include representatives from all sides and work to hold elections within 12 months.

It was unclear if the opposition would agree to join a unity government, and the unrest unleashed underscored the threat Compaore now faces as frustrations mount in one of the world’s poorest countries.

In a sign of the growing unrest, crowds also attacked the homes of government min-

isters and looted shops in the country’s second-largest city, Bobo Dioulasso, witnesses said.

“It is over for the regime!” and “We do not want him again!” shouted demonstrators when they heard that the vote on term limits had been stopped.

Flames enveloped the main building in the parliament complex, and many lawmakers fled to a nearby hotel.

“It is difficult to say what happens next, but things are out of control because the demonstrators do not listen to anyone,” said Ablasse Ouedraogo, an opposition lawmaker.

■ ISRAEL

Al-Aqsa mosque reopens amid tension Israel has reopened Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound ahead of the weekly Muslim prayers, after a rare closure following clashes sparked by the killing of a Palestinian by police.

The streets of east Jerusalem were calm ahead of the midday prayers, following an Israeli clampdown on the shrine, which is holy for Muslims and Jews alike.

Clashes erupted when Israeli police shot dead a Palestinian

accused of trying to kill a Jewish hardliner.

The closure was the first for decades and prompted a spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas to condemn the move as an Israeli “declaration of war”.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said due to fears of unrest at the midday prayers, entry for Muslim men would be restricted to those over 50.

Additional police were deployed around the Al-Aqsa

compound in the heart of the Old City, with local media reporting the presence of some 3000 officers, three times more than usual.

The Al-Aqsa mosque compound - known to Jews as the Temple Mount - is the third holiest site in Islam and Judaism’s holiest.

The clashes subsided late yesterday with a few sporadic confrontations between stonethrowing Palestinians and police firing rubber bullets and

tear gas. Three Palestinians were arrested, Samri said.

The funeral of the Palestinian passed off without incident.

Jerusalem has been shaken by months of unrest sparked by the murder of a Palestinian teenager in July in revenge for the killings of three Jewish teenagers in the West Bank.

A 50-day war between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza in July and August intensified protests and clashes in the Holy City.

Apple CEO Tim Cook’s declaration that he’s “proud to be gay” wasn’t exactly news in Silicon Valley, where his sexual orientation was no secret. But advocates say that given Apple’s immense reach and visibility, his coming-out could help change attitudes in workplaces across America. The 53-year-old successor to Steve Jobs made the announcement in an essay published by Bloomberg Businessweek. He is the highestprofile US business executive to acknowledge that he’s gay. In a country where more major-league athletes have come out than top CEOs, business leaders said Cook’s disclosure was a step toward easing anti-gay stigma.

Hello Kitty turns 40 When she came to life in 1974, she was a kitty without a name, sitting sideways in blue overalls and a big red bow, on a coin purse for Japanese girls. Today, fans around the world will celebrate the 40th anniversary of this global icon of “cute-cool.” That is, Hello Kitty.

Only a handful of characters last so long, especially in Japan, where thousands come and go in a highly competitive market. Hello Kitty has the looks, and more.

Monks cleared Dozens of Greek police have taken part in an operation to clear an apartment used as the headquarters of a rebel monastery whose monks have been declared schismatic by the Orthodox Church. Police said one monk and five supporters were in the apartment in Thessaloniki during the raid, which followed a court decision for the eviction. Riot police blocked off surrounding blocks to prevent other supporters from hindering the operation.

Monks from the 1,000-year-old Esphigmenou Monastery are in a bitter dispute with the Istanbulbased Ecumenical Patriarch, spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians.

■ UNITED STATES

Plane crashes at Kansas airport A small plane lost power after takeoff and crashed into a flight-training building while trying to return to a Kansas airport yesterday, killing four people, injuring five others and igniting a fire that sent up towering plumes of black smoke that could be seen for kilometres around Wichita.

Three of the dead were inside a flight simulator in the building when the plane crashed into it at the city’s Mid-Continent Airport, and the fourth was found on the roof and is believed to be the pilot, Wichita Fire Chief Ronald Blackwell said.

Five others were injured in the crash, and one of those was in serious condition at a hospital, Blackwell said. Officials said only one person was on board the plane and that everyone who was in the building had been accounted for. Identities of the victims were not immediately released.

“We understand that this is a very difficult time, especially for folks who have family members who are working out here and they don’t know,” Wichita Fire Marshal Brad Crisp said.

The plane, identified as a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air, crashed into a building that FlightSafety International uses to train pilots to fly Cessna planes, company spokesman Steve Phillips said.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it crashed after losing engine power and trying to return to the airport.

It appeared to strike the top of the building and ignite what Blackwell described as a “horrific” fire.

The crash was “not an intentional act,” Wichita Police

Deputy Chief John Speer said.

“We are comfortable in saying this is an aviation accident.”

The crash caused so much structural damage to the building that rescuers were unable pull victims’ remains from the wreckage. It wasn’t clear when that would happen, and heavy equipment was being brought to the scene to assist the effort.

Jeff Papacek, 39, of Wichita, said he saw a “giant fireball” as he was heading to his engineering job at Learjet, which has a testing facility at the airport. He said he didn’t see the crash because there were too many buildings in the way, but he said the plane caught his attention beforehand.

“We are used to planes flying straight with the runway, and this plane just didn’t look like it was lined up and was way too low for the direction it was going,” Papacek said, adding that he drove to the crash site to see what was happening and saw the building fire raging.

The crash did not significantly disrupt passenger traffic at the airport.

The aircraft, which was manufactured in 2000, was headed to Arkansas for painting and interior refurbishing work with Rose Aircraft Services Inc., according to that company’s CEO, Keith Rose.

“Our prayers go out to the families of the victims and those owning and operating the aircraft and facilities,” Rose said. “No further information is available at this time out of respect for those involved in this tragic loss.”

A tail number provided by the National Transportation Safety Board showed the plane is registered to Beechcraft Corp. Beechcraft spokeswoman Nicole Alexander confirmed in an email that the aircraft was registered to the company but said it was recently sold. She said she couldn’t comment further and referred additional questions to the NTSB. - AP

■ COSTA RICA

Turrialba volcano erupts The Turrialba volcano’s largest eruption in over a century rained ash over parts of central Costa Rica and prompted the evacuation of some nearby communities, authorities said yesterday.

Volcanologist Gino Gonzalez of the Central American country’s National Seismological Network said after visiting the volcano’s rim that the overnight blast caused the side

of the crater to collapse.

Ash fall was observed in four provinces, and scientists were analyzing its content to determine whether the eruption could be a precursor to lava emission.

“We are maintaining 24/7 vigilance at our seismic stations,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said the volcano began rumbling and producing seismic activity the previ-

ous evening. He called it the biggest explosion recorded at Turrialba in at least 100 years.

Turrialba is about 71 kilometres east of the capital, San Jose.

A yellow alert was declared for communities near the volcano, which were evacuated.

Agriculture Ministry officials were attending to some 400 head of cattle in areas where ash fell.

Eric Matthew Frein who had been eluding police has been captured and charged with killing one Pennsylvania State Trooper and seriously wounding another.

■ UNITED STATES

Trooper ambush suspect caught A survivalist accused of ambushing two state troopers, killing one and seriously wounding the other, was captured by US marshals near an abandoned airplane hangar, ending a sevenweek manhunt that had rattled the nerves of area residents.

Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Eric Frein, who meekly gave himself up when surrounded yesterday, authorities said.

“He did not just give up because he was tired,” state police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. “He gave up because he was caught.”

State police said they didn’t know whether Frein, who was unarmed when captured, had been using the hangar as a shelter during his 48 days on the run, and they wouldn’t say what they found there.

Frein was held in the handcuffs of the trooper he’s accused of killing, Gov. Tom Corbett said at a night-time news conference.

The quiet takedown of Frein, who kneeled and put his hands up when marshals approached him, ended weeks of tension and turmoil in the area, as authorities at times closed schools, cancelled outdoor events and blockaded roads to pursue him.

Residents grew weary of hearing helicopters overhead, while small businesses suffered mounting losses and town supervisors cancelled a popular Halloween parade.

Frein is charged with opening fire outside the Blooming Grove barracks on September 12, killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding Trooper Alex Douglass.

After his arrest Thursday near the abandoned hangar, he was placed in Dickson’s car for the ride back to the barracks, about 48 kilometers away.

Douglass and his family and

Dickson’s family expressed “relief and gratitude” over Frein’s arrest, Noonan said.

Police said they linked Frein to the ambush after a man walking his dog discovered his partly submerged SUV three days later in a swamp a few kilometres from the shooting scene. Inside, investigators found shell casings matching those found at the barracks as well as Frein’s driver’s licence, camouflage face paint, two empty rifle cases and military gear.

Officials, saying Frein was armed and extremely dangerous, had urged residents to be alert and cautious. Using dogs, thermal imaging technology and other tools, law enforcement officials combed miles of forest as they hunted for Frein, whom they called an experienced survivalist at home in the woods.

They pursued countless tips and closed in on an area around Frein’s parents’ home in Canadensis after he used his cellphone to try contacting them and the signal was traced to a location nearby.

At times police ordered nearby residents to stay inside or prevented them from returning home.

Trackers found items they believe Frein hid or abandoned in the woods — including soiled diapers, empty packs of Serbian cigarettes, an AK-47-style assault rifle and ammunition and two pipe bombs that were functional and capable of causing significant damage.

They also discovered a journal, allegedly kept by Frein and found in a bag of trash at a hastily abandoned campsite, that offered a chilling account of the ambush and his subsequent escape into the woods. The journal’s author described Dickson as falling “still and quiet” after being shot twice.

ASHBURTON

The Ashburton District Council are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the operation of two commercial cafes being the Ashburton Art Gallery & Heritage Centre situated at 327 West Street, Ashburton and the EA Networks Centre, being the stadium and aquatic centre, located in the Riverside area accessed off River Terrace.

This includes land-owners, lease-holders, managers or anyone who controls property in the scheme area.

We will be conducting a thorough inspection of every Environment Canterbury drain in November. In most case this will involve our staff walking the length of each drain.

This is to get an accurate idea on how to maintain each drain with minimal impact to the land and to see where future maintenance is needed. Every practical attempt will be made to contact landholders 48 hours prior to the inspection, however, this may not always be achievable.

For further information please phone the Ashburton Depot Foreman on 027 529-7754.

For further information go to www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or to request documents please email info@adc.govt.nz or phone 03 307 7700.

Registrations of interest close on Tuesday 25 November 2014 at 4.00pm and should be made in writing to: “EOI Cafe Operations”, The Chief Executive, Ashburton District Council, PO Box 94, Ashburton 7740.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) It’s time to take a multi approach to money matters by keeping your eyes open, your financial confidence high and taking your power back.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Mars is settling in after a week in your financial sector and you should be used to having your financial passions and fighting spirit fuelled.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While the stars are still preaching a need for balance, this becomes harder when, weekend or not, you need to keep your professional hat on.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Take your work hat off over the weekend and embrace the weekend spirit, something that would have been unthinkable just a week ago.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Over the weekend you’re able to use personal and/or relationship tension as a chance for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The stars come together to make this not only an important weekend for communication on the relationship front, but a healing and cathartic one.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Weekend or not it’s important to have both your money and work hats on, but in a way that is more about letting your imagination run wild.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s the past and the things that you’ve been holding onto that will benefit the most from a chance over the weekend to clear the air.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) This is a time for starting to stand up for yourself across all the currencies in your life, with settling for less or missing out no longer an option.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Clues to what the future might hold can be found in the things that excite you, your passions and/or your fighting spirit.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While you’ll need to keep your professional and money hats on over the weekend, you’ll also need to make sure you take time out to relax and unwind.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) You’ve reached an important weekend for catching up with friends and family and also for embracing a sense of adventure. Make the most of it.
