ECan gets tough on air quality

Farmers could be hit with a raft of new paperwork before they put a match to crop residue this summer if a proposed air plan is approved.

Environment Canterbury has reviewed the Canterbury regional air plan as it works towards meeting Ministry of the Environment clean air goals and has introduced new rules around stubble burning and a get tough policy on smoking chimneys in urban Ashburton.

If the proposed air plan is accepted unchanged, ECan commissioner David Bedford said farmers will be required to prepare a smoke management plan to minimise the effects of large scale outdoor burning.

It will also make stubble fires within five kilometres of an urban area a non-complying

activity that will need a consent.

But while it might sound onerous, the requirements of the smoke plan are more of a check sheet than something that has to be lodged with a regulatory authority, he said.

“If you’re burning and there are no problems that’s fine but if someone complains and we check, then you’ll need to demonstrate you have written a smoke plan.”

The plan will require basic data such as date, time, material to be burned weather forecast, potentially affected parties and anticipated wind direction.

“It will then come down to how we deal with the situation,” he said.

Footage could mean trouble for Jenner Video shows Bruce Jenner’s vehicle rear-ended two cars and pushed one into oncoming traffic in a fatal accident in Malibu earlier this month. A police official has told the Associated Press that Jenner steered his Cadillac Escalade to avoid a collision on February 7 and rear-ended a Lexus sedan. The driver of the Lexus, Kim Howe, 69, was killed when her car was struck head-on by a Hummer. The official was briefed on the video but was not authorised to speak publicly and talked on condition of anonymity. Video shows Jenner’s SUV also hit a Prius. Officials initially said the Lexus had struck the Prius as it slowed approaching a traffic light. The video does not appear to show Jenner using his mobile phone. Police are still investigating the cause of the accident and as yet no charges have been laid.

The party – which was to feature DJs, a professional sound-system and lighting – was to be held tomorrow night and finish “when it ends ... or when the cops come” according to a Facebook page.

Swift and Kanye make up Taylor Swift and Kanye West have publicly ended a fiveyear feud in New York City by dining out together. The couple fell out when West invaded the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 to protest Swift’s Best Female Video win over his friend Beyonce. He later apologised for stealing the spotlight from the Love Story singer, while she was accepting her first VMA, but the two hitmakers have never been close – until now. Rapper Kanye recently revealed he and Swift were planning to work together after they posed for photos together at the Grammy Awards earlier this month. But when she was a no-show at his Adidas fashion event during New York Fashion Week last Thursday, pop culture experts suggested the pair still weren’t friends. However, it appeared all was forgiven as Swift joined West for a meal at The Spotted Pig Restaurant in New York City.

Lou Reed slams Beatles Late rocker Lou Reed has branded The Beatles “garbage” and dismissed The Doors as “stupid” in a lost interview. The Velvet Underground star, who passed away in 2013, sat down with journalist Joe Smith in 1987 and opened up about his thoughts on the Fab Four and Jim Morrison’s band.

In the chat, which has now been published as part of the PBS Digital Studios’ Blank on Blank series, Reed insisted he “liked nobody” when he started out with his band in the 1960s. “I never liked The Beatles. I thought they were garbage,” he says. “If you say, ‘Who did you like?’ I liked nobody ...

(Some bands) were just painfully stupid and pretentious, and when they did try to get, in quotes, ‘arty’, it was worse than stupid rock ‘n’ roll. “What I mean by ‘stupid,’ I mean, like, The Doors.”

■ METHVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Innovative approach to donations

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury school is taking an innovative approach to school donations in the wake of nationwide controversy about the cost of education.

In what could be a national first, Methven Primary School’s board of trustees this week approved a motion to allow parents to choose how much they wanted to contribute for a school donation.

The issue of school donations hit the headlines recently when Auckland Grammar School principal Tim O’Connor asked the Ministry of Education to allow state schools to charge a compulsory school fee.

While some Mid Canterbury principals bemoaned the lack of funding given to schools by the Ministry of Education, they dismissed the idea of compulsory fees.

In the past Methven Primary

School had suggested a donation figure, which was $50 per student or $100 per family.

However in a letter released to parents yesterday, principal Chris Murphy announced parents will now be able to choose the amount they wished to donate.

According to the letter, as a decile 9 school Methven Primary receives $28.93 in decile related funding per student.

In contrast, the letter stated

that a mid decile primary school in Ashburton attracted $220.59 per student.

Multiplied by 290, or the number of Methven Primary School pupils, there was a difference of $55,581 of funding between the two schools.

Mr Murphy said while he would never begrudge lower decile schools extra funding, the shortfall was a lot of money to raise from the community.

“We have considerable pock-

ets of poverty in Methven, not everybody owns a dairy farm or a big crop farm,” he said.

A Post Primary Teachers’ Association spokeswoman said she was unsure if the approach was a first in New Zealand.

Ministry of Education head of sector enablement and support Katrina Casey said schools could seek voluntary donations, and parents were free to pay those donations in full, in part, or not at all.

Rural residents having to wait longer for ambulances

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

People are waiting longer for access to emergency medical services in rural Mid Canterbury, due to heavy workloads.

The current response target to immediately life threatening (purple) and time critical (red) calls in rural areas is 50 per cent within 12 minutes.

St John South Island communications advisor Ian Henderson said St John Ashburton is attending 37 per cent of red and purple calls within the timeframe.

The main reason for this is the sheer workload, he said.

“Selwyn and Mid Canterbury are two of the fastest growing districts in New Zealand at present, and this does have an impact on ambulance services.”

It also impacts on those needing ambulance services.

People have to wait, Mr Henderson said.

“We don’t have large numbers of people dying because we can’t get to them in time […] but there is a delay in us getting to

call-outs.” Everyone gets a response, just not within that recommended timeframe, he said.

Mr Henderson said there was a benefit to people knowing CPR, as those skills could be used if needed until an ambulance arrived.

St John Ashburton is working to combat its heavy workload.

The challenges the volume brings are addressed through initiatives such as winter cover plans, Mr Henderson said.

This is where extra staff are available in Methven thanks to the generosity of the Trevor Wilson Charitable Trust.

“We also have specific resources for inter-hospital transfers, so as to not use front line ambulances for emergency work,” he said.

The time it takes to complete an entire call, from travelling to the incident, assessing and treating patients and then a possible transfer could take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, Mr Henderson said, depending on the location and what is found at the scene.

Ashburton St John paramedics like Donald Harborn are at times struggling to respond to urgent calls within the recommended timeframe.

■ NEW ZEALAND POLITICS

In brief

Political conferences here

By SuSan SandyS and daiSy HudSon Ashburton is set to take centre stage in the world of New Zealand politics this May. The town will host political heavyweights from both major parties when they gather for separate conferences.

Prime Minister John Key and several high ranking government ministers are expected to attend the 2015 National Party mainland region conference, which is scheduled for Ashburton in early May.

Opposition leader Andrew Little and multiple South Island Labour Party MPs will also make their way to Ashburton for the party’s annual North of the South Island Area Conference, being held in the Rangitata electorate area for the first time in over 10 years.

Labour Electorate Committee chairman for Rangitata, Glen Cameron of Rakaia, said he had applied to hold the conference in Ashburton as it was usually held in larger centres.

“I thought it would be good for the region to lift Labour’s

profile in provincial New Zealand,” Mr Cameron said.

The North of the South Island Area comprises 12 electorates.

Members of Parliament to attend include West Coast Tasman’s Damien O’Connor, list MP Clayton Cosgrove, Port Hills’ Ruth Dyson, Christchurch East’s Poto Williams, and Te Tai Tonga’s Rino Tirikatene.

Mr Little had confirmed his attendance for the first day of the two-day conference, and the party’s general secretary

Tim Barnett was also expected to attend.

The conference is to be opened by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay. Up to 100 delegates will give consideration to a number of remits yet to be submitted from the area’s rank and file.

The conference is to be held on the weekend of May 23 and 24, at the Ashburton MSA. The National Party is yet to confirm details for the mainland conference, which is the party’s annual South Island conference.

Anxious fruit fly wait Anxious Auckland residents living inside a Queensland fruit fly exclusion zone will have to wait until today to find out if any more of the pests have been found in the upmarket suburb of Grey Lynn.

More than 90 field staff from the Ministry for Primary Industries spent yesterday setting fruit fly lure-traps to determine if the Australian insect had spread to the area, following the discovery of a male Queensland fruit fly in a trap earlier this week. The field teams also collected samples of fruit from home gardens in the area to test for any flies, their eggs or larvae.

The results from those tests would not be known until this morning at the earliest, MPI chief operations officer Andrew Coleman said.

Fish dumping ‘a waste’

Fresh inquiry to decide Bain payout

A commercial fishing vessel blamed for dumping a trail of dead fish off the coast of a popular Auckland surf beach accidently lost its catch while retrieving fishing gear, the Ministry for Primary Industries says. The unidentified boat was reported to the ministry after a recreational fisher captured “acres, and acres and acres” of dead fish in the sea west of Piha. Kerren Packer, who posted his video on Facebook, said the trail stretched “as far as the eye can see”. “Prime eating gurnard, mixed in with juveniles, never had the chance to breed,” he said, as he scooped up the dead fish from the water. “This is just a complete and utter waste, absolute waste.”

By iSaac daviSon David Bain’s long fight for compensation will start afresh with all previous advice put aside, the Government has confirmed.

Justice Minister Amy Adams said yesterday Cabinet did not have enough information to reach a decision on a potential payout for Mr Bain, who spent 13 years in prison before being found not guilty of murder in a retrial.

Mr Bain was imprisoned in 1995 after being convicted for killing five family members in Dunedin, but was freed after being found not guilty in a second trial in 2009.

A 2012 report by former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Ian Binnie said Mr Bain was probably innocent and should receive compensation.

But a peer review of his report by Robert Fisher QC, sought by then-minister Judith Collins, maintained Justice Binnie had made several errors of law.

Ms Adams said: “Given these events, it’s my view that Cabinet doesn’t have the information in front of it on which it could reasonably reach a decision.”

“For that reason, the advice of both Justice Binnie and Dr Fisher will be set aside and I will appoint a new inquirer to conduct a fresh inquiry into Mr Bain’s claim.”

Based on previous awards, Bain could be entitled to at least $2 million if Cabinet approves compensation.

As part of national Bikewise Month, the school is holding its own Bikewise Week, where pupils take part in fun activities and learn how to stay

Helicopter crashes; two occupants killed

By Patrice dougan Two men killed in a helicopter crash in Queenstown yesterday were “highly regarded” staff members of a helicopter adventure tourism company.

Stephen Anthony Nicholson Combe, 42, of Wanaka and James Louis Patterson Gardner, 18, of Queenstown, were found dead at the scene of the crash 90 minutes after the chopper was reported overdue.

Wreckage of the Robinson

44, operated by Queenstownbased Over the Top Helicopters, was located in remote bush in the Lochy Valley area, in the Eyre Mountains southwest of Queenstown, shortly after 4pm, police said.

It was reported overdue around 2.30pm.

The helicopter was being operated by the son of the owner of Over The Top Helicopters, 3News reported, which also said it believed the pair were conducting a training flight.

However, that was not confirmed by the company.

Mr Combe and Mr Patterson Gardner were the only two on board the aircraft. Both were declared dead at the scene.

The company said both men were staff members.

“We would like to express our deepest condolences to friends and families of both members on board and are devastated by the loss of such valued and highly regarded team members.”

The Green Party has decided not to contest the upcoming Northland by-election despite a strong showing in last year’s general election. The by-election due to take place on March 28 was forced by the resignation of National MP Mike Sabin last month. Labour has already named lawyer and Far North District councillor WillowJean Prime as its candidate, National has named a shortlist of five possible replacement candidates, and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has yet to announce his plans, though he is understood to be seriously considering a run for the seat.

In the 2014 election the Greens’ Kerikeri-based David Clendon polled 3639 votes, placing him third behind Mr Sabin (18,269) and Mrs Prime (8969).

■ WALNUT AVENUE CONGESTION

In brief

Traffic lights move step closer

By Sue NewmaN Sue.n@theguardian

Traffic log-jams in a busy part of Ashburton will soon be consigned to the past with land about to be acquired for traffic lights at Walnut Avenue.

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has plans to scrap the existing roundabouts at both the East and West Street intersections with Walnut Avenue.

These will be replaced with traffic lights.

As part of that work it has notified its intention to alter the designation of several pieces of land at both intersections.

The public can have a say on the plans as part of the community consultation process.

A total of nine pieces of land will be required for the installation of lights.

Four are owned by the Ashburton District Council, two

by KiwiRail, one by the Crown and two by the owners of the BP Service Station.

While the work is considered to be two separate projects, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said the council decided the two had to be carried out in tandem for either to work efficiently.

Last year the council gave its approval for the two intersection plans after deleting free left hand turns at both sets of lights.

“We were concerned about the safety of college and intermediate school students.

Partner’s ear bitten off Like many couples, Honeti TouekiAisake and his pregnant partner celebrated Christmas with friends.

But unlike most, the 20-year-old woman left the party missing half her right ear. There was no chance of reattachment because 21-yearold Toueki-Aisake swallowed the chunk of flesh. He was jailed for six years three months after sentencing at Manukau District Court yesterday for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and another act of serious violence only months later.

Toueki-Aisake could have been sentenced to more than 10 years’ imprisonment but was saved by his early guilty plea and assistance he provided to authorities. The two charges attracted strike warnings under the three-strike legislation, which means he will serve the entire six years and three months without being considered for early release on parole.

- NZME

Suppression bid lost

Currently there’s roundabouts on Walnut Avenue where it intersects both East and West streets but in the near future traffic lights will be conducting traffic flow.

PHOTO JOSEPH JOHNSON 190215-JJ-008

The left turns are now with the lights so there’s complete protection for pedestrians,” he said.

With the land designation now notified, Mr McKay said he hoped the project would proceed without too many delays.

“My major concern now is wanting the work completed as soon as possible, but we have to go through the process.”

Work on the State Highway one lights will be fully funded

by NZTA but ratepayers will have to foot the bill for about 44 per cent of the East Street traffic safety work as this is rated as a local road, receiving only 56 per cent subsidy.

As part of the traffic light project, the entrance to Ashburton Domain from the state highway will be changed.

The council put up four op-

tions and asked for public comment. The best supported was a new entrance off Walnut Avenue. A survey of domain users has also been undertaken.

Council group manager, service delivery Neil McCann said the new entrance route would be decided as part of a development plan for the domain. The existing West Street access may be retained for left turning traffic only.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT’S AIR

ECan brings in tough new rules on air quality From P1 He described the plan as a form of self management that demonstrated farmers were aware of what they were doing and the possible implications.

The proposed air plan also takes a tough line on urban fires, with the big change of focus onto smokey chimneys, Mr Bedford said.

While nothing has changed in the drive to have all homes with non-compliant woodburners (those over 15 years old) replaced with low emission burners, ECan was aware that there were many newer burners that were not being used correctly resulting in smoke billowing from chimneys, he said.

“This clearly shows it’s about burning better and education is the key here.”

ECan had not, however, taken its eye off the need to have all Ashburton homes with wood burners to have these changed to ultra low emission models.

Ashburton Guardian 5

THE FACTS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Last year the clean air guidelines were breached in Ashburton on nine occasions.

49 per cent of Ashburton’s homes burn wood as a heating source.

1547 Ashburton homes have changed their wood burners to low emission models.

1007 Ashburton homes still have non-complying woodburners.

There are still 21 homes using open fires in Ashburton. These

These will have a life span of 15 years.

Any burners not changed by 2019 will have to be replaced with ultra low emission models.

Mr Bedford admits that meeting the government standards of no more than one breach per year of clean air standards by

■

■

will not be allowed from the end of this year.

ECan will continue to use infra-red cameras to check for use of non-complying burners this winter.

Nearly all households caught on camera last year have agreed to upgrade their burners.

Low emission burners cannot be installed in new homes in Ashburton but ultra low emission burners can.

2020 will be a big call, but he believes all air sheds in Canterbury will be moving in the right direction.

“If we carry on the way we are then we’ll never meet the target, but in saying that Ashburton is the best air shed in Canterbury.

“We’re at the stage where we

can identify the numbers and the size of the problem and now we can be much more targeted in our approach,” he said.

Ashburton may have had nine air quality breaches last year, and that might have been slightly above the previous year, but the numbers were trending in the right direction, Mr Bedford said.

“We believe the improvement in Canterbury’s air quality has been due to the community taking ownership of quality issues and thinking about what they can do to improve it.”

In mid 2014 ECan released an air plan review discussion document, outlining proposed changes and inviting public feedback. The proposed air plan is the document that has come from that process.

It has been notified by Environment Canterbury and will be open for public submissions from the end of this month until May 1

A prominent New Zealander has today lost a bid for name suppression on charges of indecent assault, to which he pleaded not guilty. But his identity will remain protected for another month to give him a chance to lodge an appeal. Heavy suppression orders cover the case, meaning the man cannot be identified, nor can his alleged victims or their ages. The charges faced by the man, who elected trial by jury, can now be revealed.

He is facing 12 charges of indecent assault against two people including two representative charges. Name suppression for the man expires on March 19 at 5pm or until the appeal is heard. - NZME

Drug arrest A police drug raid in Hokitika yesterday resulted in the arrest of a 54-year-old man and retrieval of “a substantial quantity” of cannabis. Hokitika and Greymouth police, including members of the Armed Offenders Squad, searched a property on Kaniere Road. The arrest followed the discovery of a “commercial” cannabis supply operation. Relieving West Coast area commander Detective Inspector Paul Borrell said “a substantial quantity” of cannabis in various stages of maturity and being prepared for supply was recovered. The man arrested at the property would face charges of cultivation, possession and supply of cannabis. Mr Borrell said police would look at the possibility of seizing the property using the Criminal Proceeds Recovery Act. “That will certainly be a consideration in this case.” - NZME

Emergency landing A light plane made an emergency landing near the Haast Pass, shortly after 3pm on Wednesday.

The plane apparently flipped as a result of the landing, at a remote spot north-east of State highway 6. “The pilot was not injured but was flown by the Mount Cook rescue helicopter to Omarama,” Mr Rendle said. - NZME

■ CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY

New NZ citizens welcomed

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Yesterday was a special day for Chantelle Van Niekerk and her husband Henrico Van Niekerk; they became New Zealand citizens.

Their children, Abigail, 7 months and Daniel, two and a half years old, were there to watch proceedings.

Formerly from South Africa, the couple have lived in the Ashburton district for seven years.

Both said yesterday’s citizenship ceremony, held at the Ashburton District Council chambers, was deeply emotional for them.

They first visited New Zealand straight out of university.

“We wanted to leave South Africa because of the crime – we were not happy there, and didn’t feel safe,” Mrs Van Niekerk said.

“We chose New Zealand because it has all of the good aspects of South Africa and none of the bad – the society is very family orientated, and rugby is also popular.”

Henrico Van Niekerk, son Daniel, wife Chantelle Van Niekerk and daughter Abigail took part in yesterday’s citizenship ceremony.

The family have made their home in Rakaia, and Mr Van Niekerk commutes to Christchurch, where he works as an en-

gineer for Meridian Energy.

The Van Niekerks were among 20 people granted citizenship yesterday.

■ WORKPLACE ACCIDENT

ANZCO completes inquiry

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

ANZCO Foods Canterbury has completed an internal investigation after an employee was injured in a workplace accident last month.

The Ashburton Fire Brigade was called to ANZCO’s Ashburton site shortly after 10am on January 31, according to deputy chief fire officer Graeme Baker.

Mr Baker said a meat rack tipped and fell on a male employee, leaving him trapped behind it. The man was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital for assessment following the incident.

ANZCO Foods Canterbury site manager Chris Baird said ANZCO had completed an investigation into the accident, and was working with WorkSafe NZ to conclude their in-

vestigation. Mr Baird said ANZCO was in close contact with the employee, who is recovering from his injuries at home.

“ANZCO Foods takes any workplace accident seriously,” he said. “When the investigation is complete ANZCO will make any changes to systems and processes as recommended.”

ANZCO did not yet have a timeframe for the completion

of the investigation, and it was unable to provide any more information until it was complete, he said.

The incident was Mid Canterbury’s first serious workplace accident of the year, following high rates of accidents in the region in recent years.

ACC data from 2012/2013 showed Ashburton’s workplace injuries were up with the national average.

In brief Tree squashes cars Four cars have been squashed by a fallen tree in the Auckland Domain yesterday – prompting calls from a council arborist to close some car parks there. Three cars were severely damaged by the oak tree when it split in half, sending 15m and 2 tonnes of trunk and branches into the parked vehicles about 1pm. The cars have smashed windscreens and crushed roofs.

Another vehicle had some scratches and minor dents. Only two of the four were insured.

Fire crews chainsawed the fallen tree into pieces to remove it from the road, and Auckland Council arborists were on scene assessing the damage.

Police search unlawful

■ MOUNT SOMERS SPRINGBURN SCHOOL

A police search which uncovered 53 cannabis plants at a Hector property last year has been ruled unlawful and charges against the grower have been dismissed.

His lawyer says the case shows “an Englishman’s home is still his castle”. Brian Barnes faced charges of cultivating cannabis and possessing cannabis after Constable Greg Sherie searched his property without a warrant last March. Under the Search and Surveillance Act a police constable can carry out a warrantless search if they have reasonable grounds to believe it isn’t practicable to obtain one and a place contains drugs.

A hearing was held in Westport District Court in December to determine whether the search was unlawful. In a reserved decision Judge Callaghan dismissed the charges against Barnes of cultivation and possession of cannabis.

Another welcome sports gear donation The Mid Canterbury community has continued to get behind Mount Somers Springburn School following a suspicious fire last month.

The blaze in the school’s PE shed on February 1, which fire officers believe was deliberately lit, destroyed much of the school’s sports gear.

Pupils at the school, including Robert Wilson (left) and Liam Heaven (right), were treated to replacement gear yesterday thanks to Harvey Norman Ashburton.

When Harvey Norman Ashburton electrical proprietor Nick Penniall heard about the fire, he wanted to help out.

Yesterday Mr Penniall delighted pupils by dropping off six netballs, six soccer balls, and six cricket sets.

Mr Penniall said he was sad to hear about the fire, and wanted to do something to help.

“It’s nice to be able to help out the smaller schools when we can,” he said.

The donation follows a similar act of charity from Mid Canterbury Rugby, which also donated sports gear to the school after the fire.

Students arrested A group of Waikato students damaged police property after officers tried to arrest a student.

Two officers went to Te Awamutu College to arrest a 14-year-old when a group of others got involved and began obstructing them. Waikato police Senior Sergeant Stephen Ambler said there were no injuries to officers or students. Ambler said police were called about 11am to remove a student who had damaged a wall of the school building. But the boy got free and kicked a patrol car.

More officers were called before a number of students intervened and tried to stop the arrest. A further three students were arrested for obstruction.

Road toll ‘significantly’ ahead of last year

By Patrice Dougan The national road toll is almost 44 per cent higher than at the same time last year, following a grim week on the roads in which nine people have died in just two days.

The road toll sat at 46 from 41 fatal crashes yesterday, compared with 32 from 31 fatal crashes this time last year, assistant commissioner of road policing Dave Cliff said.

There had also been a greater number of passengers killed this year compared with 2014 – 14 passengers this year, compared with four last year.

“Drivers aren’t just killing themselves, they’re killing their passengers,” Mr Cliff said.

The toll was “significantly ahead” of last year, he said, and “to lose that many is way over the norm. To have that many to be killed, particularly mul-

tiple deaths in some of those road crashes, is really unusual.”

He continued: “Every death is too many. But the DecemberJanuary road deaths were the second lowest since the mid1960s, so that was really successful. In saying that, having 50-odd deaths over those two months is still way too many.

“It again shows that single acts can have such a profound impact, change people’s lives forever.” The dire figures came

after a spate of crashes resulted in nine deaths, including one which killed three members of the same family, and another which killed two best friends on a summer road-trip.

Three people died on the roads on Wednesday, while six were killed on Tuesday. Three of the fatal crashes involved either a tourist driver or rental vehicle, with three American citizens and one Taiwanese national among the dead. - NZME

Crash south of Timaru A motorist has been taken to Timaru Hospital in a serious condition following a head-on crash between a car and a truck in Canterbury yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash, on State Highway 1, south of Timaru, shortly after 11.45am yesterday. Initial indications suggested a southbound car and a north-bound truck collided head-on, police said.

The driver of the truck was uninjured, but the driver and sole occupant of the car was taken to Timaru Hospital with serious injuries. SH1 was closed south of Timaru for at least two hours while the Canterbury police serious crash unit conducted a scene examination.

Cameron yesterday said “effectively one country is challenging the territorial integrity of another country” to describe the situation in Ukraine.

“Those Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine, they are using Russian rocket launchers, Russian tanks, Russian artillery, you can’t buy this equipment on eBay ... it’s come from Russia,” Cameron said.

“So we have to be very firm and strong about the sanctions and say to Vladimir Putin: ‘What you are doing is unacceptable and it will have economic

and financial consequences for many years to come if you do not desist with your behaviour’.”

The defence minister said the situation was not a new Cold War, because it was already “pretty warm”, according to the Times.

Fallon referred to the interception of Russian bombers flying close to British airspace, and Russia’s detention of an Estonian policeman that sent tensions soaring between Moscow and Tallinn.

“You have tanks and armour

rolling across the Ukrainian border and you have an Estonian border guard being captured and not yet still returned,” Fallon reportedly said.

“When you have jets being flown up the English Channel, when you have submarines in the North Sea, it looks to me like it’s warming up.”

His comments came after hundreds of exhausted Ukrainian troops retreated from the strategic railway hub of Debaltseve following a fierce assault by pro-Russian rebels.

Be respectful in representations - Bali duo Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have asked that any representations to save them from execution are made firmly, but with respect.

Melbourne barrister Michael O’Connell SC visited the condemned Australians in Kerobokan jail yesterday where he said they were remarkably well under the circumstances, but concerned that representations were “firm but respectful”.

“I think Andrew and Myuran are very concerned that people remain respectful when they make representations on their behalf,” Mr O’Connell said.

“But of course they want those representations to be firmly made.”

The pair’s concerns follow a sharp reaction from Jakarta to Prime Minister Tony Abbott linking the men’s fate to Aus-

Dog sponsor ‘shocked’ Soft drink maker Schweppes Australia has completely cut its involvement with the greyhound racing industry after the live baiting revelations. The beverage company moved swiftly after the ABC TV investigation was aired, taking its signage down at race tracks around the country. Schweppes has now decided to withdraw from any sponsorship and branding arrangements related to the greyhound industry. Schweppes said it was “shocked and appalled” by the revelations.

In brief

UK warns of Russian danger Russia could inflict the tactics it is accused of using to destabilise Ukraine on Baltic members of NATO, Britain’s defence minister has warned.

Michael Fallon said NATO must be prepared for Russian aggression in any form, and warned of a “real and present danger” to Baltic members of NATO - eurozone members Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

It comes after Kiev called for UN peacekeepers to help implement a tattered ceasefire between Ukrainian forces battling the advance of pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country.

“NATO has to be ready for any kind of aggression from Russia, whatever form it takes.

“NATO is getting ready,” Fallon said in comments to journalists accompanying him on a trip to Sierra Leone.

Kiev and the West accuse Russia of arming the rebels and sending thousands of soldiers into Ukraine, charges denied

by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I’m worried about Putin,” Fallon said according to newspaper The Times.

“I’m worried about his pressure on the Baltics, the way he is testing NATO.” Fallon described as a “very real and present danger” the possibility Russia could repeat towards Baltic states the covert warfare techniques it is accused of using in Ukraine.

tralia’s donation of $1 billion in aid following the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.

Mr Abbott had said Indonesia should “reciprocate in this way at this time”.

Indonesia’s foreign affairs ministry spokesman, Arrmanatha Nasir, hit back, saying “no one responds well to threats”.

Mr Abbott yesterday said he had only meant to recall the long-running friendship of the two nations.

Chan and Sukumaran are enjoying a few days’ reprieve from the firing squad after Indonesia was caught unprepared for the executions and delayed moving them from their Bali jail cells.

Mr O’Connell says the Bali Nine drug smugglers have also been briefed on arrangements for Tuesday’s administrative court challenge.

A panel of judges will question their lawyers on their ar-

gument that President Joko Widodo did not properly examine their requests for clemency before rejecting them.

There are reports Mr Joko did not have documentation before him that outlined the men’s rehabilitation before he denied them mercy.

Mr O’Connell said his clients’ case was strong regardless.

Mr Joko has already proclaimed publicly that he will reject clemency in all death row drug cases, he said.

“The public position taken by the Indonesian government and particularly the president ... demonstrates there was not a genuine and realistic consideration of the clemency application that had been made,” he said.

Indonesia has not announced a new schedule for the men’s move from Kerobokan prison, or their execution date.

But planning goes on regardless, with more meetings to discuss security arrangements for the Australians’ transfer to Nusakambangan Island scheduled for Friday.

Almost 2500 people were in Melbourne’s Federation Square on Wednesday night when a letter from Sukumaran was read.

“Whatever happens, I know that me and Andrew are good people now, and even though we have been in prison with a death sentence, we have been truly blessed,” he wrote.

Mr O’Connell said both men were grateful for the public’s support.

“They’re humbled really by the depth of support that has been coming from Australia and to some extent in Indonesia as well,” he said.

“They are very grateful for it and they simply wait and hope.”

The family of a Brazilian man to be executed in Indonesia says he is suffering from a mental illness and appealed to the government to spare him. Rodrigo Gularte is one of eight convicted drug traffickers, including seven foreigners, due to be executed in Indonesia after exhausting their appeals. Gularte’s cousin, Angelita Maxfeldt, said Gularte had been diagnosed by a psychiatrist at a hospital in Central Java with paranoid schizophrenia and required treatment. Gularte was sentenced to death in 2005 for smuggling six kilograms of cocaine into Indonesia hidden inside surfboards.

Spend-up on impotence The US Army has spent tens of millions of dollars to help soldiers and veterans of the military in the bedroom by covering the cost of erectile dysfunction medications.

The Pentagon’s bill for medicine to treat the problem totalled $US84 million last year, a military spokesman confirmed yesterday.

Half of the total was spent on the drug Viagra, according to data compiled by the Defence Health Agency within the Department of Defense. Since 2011, the US military has spent $US294 million on medication to treat erectile dysfunction, about equal to the cost of four F-35 fighter jets. - DPA

Marcia category three Cyclone Marcia is now a category three system, and likely to be further upgraded to category four before it hits the central Queensland coast early today. A 250km strip of the coastline between St Lawrence and Gladstone is at risk of a direct hit of the intensifying storm, which was upgraded from a category two late yesterday.

The weather bureau says it could bring wind gusts of up to 225km/h.

The BOM website says storms in category three can damage roofs and structures, destroy caravans, break boats from moorings and cause power blackouts.

Toughen up border controls Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

ougher border controls must be actively considered across all import classes in the wake of the fourth known fruit fly incursion in Auckland.

In some respects, the fact that a fruit fly managed to get to these shores is neither herenor-there. The real issue is that a dangerous biological agent avoided the net.

The Ministry of Primary Industries yesterday said the fruit fly trapped in Grey Lynn was not evidence of an outbreak and that airport controls would be looked at.

Observers will say MPI has been there before. There have been three previous incursions and three previous reviews.

Each time, officials have vowed to tighten things up.

The ministry has not ruled out stricter measures and says more people had had their bags x-rayed at airports since the last incursion in Northland last year.

That more people have had their bags x-rayed is laudable, but this has to be regarded alongside the move away from x-raying or screening all luggage at all international airports.

It must also be regarded alongside cuts to biosecurity staff – though the Government says there are more on the front line – and the sheer bulk of goods imported via shipping lanes, mail systems and airborne fast freight.

It is a big job but recent government budgets have not done nearly enough to fund the sort of cast-iron biosecurity that can keep our ecosystems and economy safe.

The fruit fly did not take hold in its previous incursions, but pests such as PSA and the varroa mite had much more luck. The eventual response to didymo was that it was here to stay.

This is not the response a region like Mid Canterbury, the grain and seed bowl of New Zealand, would want if further biosecurity breaks pose new threats to agriculture.

Instead, the latest response should be to invest in more x-rays, more sniffer dogs, more inspections and more people.

This will be costly – but insurance usually is.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

C

o-habitation preparation at my gorgeous girlfriend’s place led us to holding a garage sale last Saturday morning.

The advert in the paper was the standard “Sign out at 8am” number.

We were up nice and early putting the finishing touches to the “sale” and last-minute dash to get some change. I admit I was a bit worried with 20 minutes to starting time, that there appeared to be no-one around much.

How things can change in five minutes though eh? With the 15-minute countdown started, they started to circle.

Several cars drove past several times and I was starting to worry that we may be rushed off our feet.

So at 8am on the dot, we put the sign out and the initial onslaught took place.

These guys and girls know what they are doing!

They obviously know exactly what they are looking for and if it’s not there, then they are in, a polite “thanks anyway”, out and gone!

At 8.10am we had over 20 people through and had sold nothing!

Over the next couple of

hours, more folks, with more time on their hands popped in and we sold a few items.

Were we unrealistic with our prices? Did we not have the “sale” set out well?

I didn’t think so.

Here’s the scary bit for the future of the garage sale, in less than half an hour we sold nearly 10 items on the Facebook page Items for Sale in Ashvegas.

No need to move the items all out to the garage, no need to get up early on a day off work and no need to pay for any advertising.

Some old-school readers will be saying, “You can’t see what you’re buying that way though”.

You do see a photo of the

item on the Facebook page and when you turn up with the folding stuff to take your purchase home and it turns out to be nothing like the photos you saw, then you fire your hardearned money back in your wallet and the seller re-lists the item. Sounds a lot like a mate of mine’s experience with an online dating site, the product didn’t look a lot like the photo online.

I’m thinking the hard-core garage sale fans get a buzz out of the search for bargains and that’s something they couldn’t replicate on Facebook or any other online site. Both sides of the garage sale probably enjoy the human interaction side of the event, the bartering with a cheeky smile etc.

SAY

But, while writing this column I have been messaged three times and sold some more items from the Facebook page that didn’t move in the garage sale.

I’m not suggesting one is better than the other, I’m suggesting that the two together have worked a treat for us.

So, long live the garage sale, with a little help from a Facebook friend.

Till next week.

Plans to lift farm assets to $1b

BY FIONA ROTHERHAM The New Zealand farm group arm of the Shanghai Pengxin Group owned by Chinese billionaire Jiang Zhoabai says it plans to double its $500 million of local assets within the next five years.

Andy Macleod, chief executive of the Pengxin New Zealand Farm Group, said the group had kept a low profile since its controversial 2012 purchase of the former Crafar Farms for $200 million, which was the largest-ever foreign acquisition of New Zealand land by value.

“We’ve wanted to get some runs on the board and we are a private company,” he told farmers at a Federated Farmers dairy conference in Taupo yesterday.

“We are 100 per cent Chinese owned and do get in the limelight because of that.”

All 20 staff have been assured they would keep their jobs under the new ownership if approved.

And it also has sales and purchase agreements in place to buy an undisclosed number of farms valued at $70 million in Northland and another farm at Taharoa next door to one of its existing properties.

He described the country’s foreign investment process as “good” despite the delays it caused because it added “internal discipline”.

Set up in 1997 as a commercial property developer, Shanghai Pengxin began diversifying into agricultural assets in 2005.

According to the website of its Milk New Zealand subsidiary, it now controls more than 12,000 hectares of land in South America, Cambodia and China, farming wheat, corn, soybeans and sheep.

look at doubling that exposure within New Zealand.

“We have 26 farms at the moment and are looking for plus 50-odd farms,” he said.

In addition to the 13 Northland dairy farms and three support farms it bought in the Crafar deal, the group also has 13 dairy farms totalling 3942 hectares in the South Island after taking a 74 per cent stake in Synlait Farms in a $85.7 million joint venture with its chief executive Juliet Maclean and director John Penno in late 2013.

Macleod said the group is awaiting Overseas Investment Office approval to buy the 13,843 hectare Lochinver Station near Taupo through its subsidiary, Pure 100 Farm.

The sheep and beef farm is reportedly worth about $70 million, and would be the secondbiggest acquisition of farmland by a foreign buyer.

The group wants to establish a dairy unit on the station on a part of the land that backs on to one of the former Crafar Farms.

Another eventful week G lobal markets have had another eventful week as positive data mixed with geopolitical concerns has caused an uptick in volatility.

The S&P 500 reached a fresh all-time high during the week as did the Dow Jones in the US, the Dax in Germany and the ASX200 in Australia.

Locally, investors have had a number of events over the past week including the Australasian reporting season, which moved into high gear this week, as well as the latest Global Dairy Trade auction.

Dairy prices surged a further 10 per cent at this week’s auction posting a fifth consecutive gain. The average price is still well off the highs seen in February last year but has turned around from lows seen in September.

The most important product group for New Zealand farmers is whole milk powder, and prices for this gained another 13.7 per cent, trading at US$3272 per tonne. In order to maintain the current payout level of $4.70, Fonterra has said that whole milk powder will need to reach US$3,500 a tonne by July, a figure which is now well within reach.

New Zealand reporting season has really ramped up this week with some of the NZX50’s biggest names reporting half year results. Contact Energy disappointed investors as they reneged on previous

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

comments that they would distribute spare cash to investors, instead announcing they would look to expand operations overseas. The share price tumbled more than 9 per cent in trading following the announcement.

Meridian Energy reported mid-week and took the opposite approach to its peer Contact, announcing that it would distribute $625 million of capital to shareholders over the next five years. Operating earnings for the half were up 21 per cent on the same period last year to $324 million.

Much of the angst felt by markets around the world this week has been due to the uncertainty in Europe surrounding the Greek bail-out. Greece currently owes €240 billion to the European Union and had to impose massive austerity measures. They now need to renegotiate terms of the bail-out deal which is due to end at the end of February. If a new deal is not struck Greece will run out of money and be forced from the Eurozone. However the newly elected Greek government is not willing to continue the austerity programme. Germany remains steadfast that it

will not accept a new deal from Greece unless they agree to the original conditions of the bail-out. Greece will not accept a new deal unless they are able to pare back austerity measures imposed.

The minutes from the latest US Federal Reserve meeting were released this week. The minutes revealed that Fed officials are worried about hiking rates too soon and the implications that this might have on the US economy.

Officials debated stubbornly low inflation which is widespread across the globe and the impact this has on economic confidence.

Indications are for a June rate hike at this stage.

In the UK, there is further positive news. Unemployment dropped again this week and wages showed good growth, well above current inflation levels, the first time this has happened in over five years.

The unemployment rate has dropped to 5.7 per cent even as the participation rate grew.

Average earnings grew by 2.1 per cent for the quarter.

Longer term unemployment also dropped although youth unemployment remains stubbornly high.

QUICK MEAL Mexican food is fun, vibrant and tasty – and it’s easy to create a great Mexican-style meal at home. Have as many accompaniments on the table as possible such as sour cream, guacamole, chilli sauce, fresh herbs. This is great with any fast-frying steak cut.

Ex-flatmate ‘in shock’ Man injured in work accident Water restrictions bite Uniforms too expensive Creek dries up, fish die

To serve 3-4 fresh corn cobs 2-3C white rice, cooked 1/4 C finely chopped, fresh coriander Guacamole, sour cream, extra chopped fresh coriander ■ Marinade: Mix the oil, paprika, chilli and oregano together in a bowl. Rub over both sides of the steak and leave for 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate overnight for the flavours to infuse.

■ Capsicum sauce: Heat 1T oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Add the roasted capsicum and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Purée the mixture in a food processor or with a stick wand until slightly chunky. Taste and season, as required, set aside and keep warm. Cook the corn cobs in plenty of boiling water until

just tender. Drain and set aside.

■ Beef: Preheat an oiled BBQ grill or a frying pan until very hot.

Season the steaks and cook for a few minutes each side, turning once until medium-rare or cooked to your liking. Set the steaks aside to rest for 7-8 minutes. Wipe the grill or pan clean with paper towels and leave at high heat. Rub the corn with a little oil and fry quickly. Cut the kernels off the cob and mix with the rice and chopped coriander.

Season.

■ To serve: Place the sliced steaks over a bed of the corn and rice and pour the capsicum sauce over the top. Serve with dollops of sour cream and guacamole, with extra chopped coriander and a seasonal salad.

■ DRONE TECHNOLOGY

In brief

Crowdfunding raises $1.5m Kiwi drone company Aeronavics has closed its crowdfunding offer at $1.5 million in capital using crowdfunding platform Snowball Effect, setting a new benchmark for such campaigns in New Zealand.

Aeronavics was initially aiming to raise $750,000 but investor demand saw the company raise its target to a maximum of $1.5 million, which was reached on Tuesday.

The capital will be used to help fund growth plans and develop a strong research and development pipeline.

Investors in the offer received an equity stake in the company, with shares selling for $1 per share, and minimum investment of $1000.

A total of 213 investments were made.

Snowball Effect’s head of company pipeline and services, Shaun Edlin, said market awareness was one of the biggest barriers to greater use of crowdfunding. “[Successes like Aeronavics] help raise awareness of Snowball Effect and equity crowdfunding in general,” Edlin said.

“For companies considering raising capital, success stories prove that it’s possible to raise a significant amount of capital through our platform and benefit from the exposure that

On-line addiction A new consumer behaviour survey backs other research that there is a growth of “digital dependency” in New Zealand, according to a leading academic. Online interaction is overtaking real-life socialisation and lack of access to the internet is causing anxiety for some Kiwis, according to the results of a Canstar Blue consumer satisfaction survey released this week. Of the 1127 people who participated, 41 per cent said they felt stressed without internet access and 26 per cent said they socialised more online than in person.

a successful offer brings.”

The first equity crowdfunding market was developed in Britain in 2011.

Initially, the idea was slow to take off amongst angel investors and venture capital firms, but Edlin said the crowdfunding trend was growing.

The British crowdfunding market had experienced an average annual growth rate of 410 per cent since it was launched, Edlin said.

“Thirty per cent of seed

investment in the UK was sourced through equity crowdfunding platforms in 2014 and that figure is estimated to be 50 per cent in 2015.”

Aeronavics is the company’s fourth crowdfunding offer after Renaissance Brewing ($700,000), The Patriarch ($488,800) and CarbonScape ($764,302).

Edlin said that crowdfunding in New Zealand was continually gaining traction, as understanding and the investor side

of the market developed.

“It’s still early days for equity crowdfunding in New Zealand,” Edlin said.

“New Zealand has worldleading regulations for equity crowdfunding, although a few countries [such as Britain] still have the jump on us by a couple of years as a result of having an equity crowdfunding market in operation for longer,” he said.

“Equity crowdfunding is growing in New Zealand faster than we expected.”

Re-branding, re-organisation lead to revenue drop Spark managing director Simon Moutter has described yesterday’s half year financial release as a “steady as she goes” result.

Net profit fell 12.7 per cent to $147 million and revenue dipped by 2.7 per cent to $1.79 billion.

Moutter said the results were largely expected.

“The half year underlying performance is broadly in line with where we planned it to be internally and we do expect our second half earnings to grow compared with our first half

earnings and relative to the second half of the last financial year,” Moutter said, adding that the reduction in EBITDA, down 3.5 per cent, could be attributed to two non-recurring costs from rebranding and a significant blip in reorgan-

Dagg returns to mark All Black rival

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Israel Dagg (right) returns to fullback for the Crusaders tomorrow and will immediately resume his rivalry with Ben Smith.

Dagg sat out last weekend’s 20-10 defeat to the Rebels in Christchurch, and will add much needed class to a Crusaders backline which looked rusty and disjointed in round one.

The Highlanders also have the potential to be slightly off

their game when the two teams meet in Dunedin after their first-round bye, but for All Black Smith, who has edged ahead of Dagg on the international pecking order, consistency isn’t usually an issue.

Dagg’s inclusion after his rest on the orders of the All Blacks coaches is one of four personnel changes to the Crusaders starting line-up.

Dan Carter is predictably out with his leg injury suf-

fered in the Rebels match and replaced at No10 by Colin Slade. Wyatt Crockett starts at loosehead prop ahead of Joe Moody, with lock Dominic Bird dropped to the bench in favour of Scott Barrett. Ryan Crotty starts at second-five alongside New Brighton clubmate Kieran Fonotia, with Tom Taylor named on the bench.

For the Highlanders, seven players are set to make their debuts, including starting props

In brief Championship quest Mid Canterbury’s Champion of Champion bowls series begins on Sunday with the district’s top club triples combinations battling for supremacy at the Hinds Bowling Club. Hampstead are the defending champions in the senior men’s while Methven’s overcame Ashburton for the women’s title last year. Allenton, Ashburton, Hampstead, Hinds, MSA and Methven play in the first round looking to join Rakaia in the second round. The women’s draw has Methven against Allenton in the first round, with MSA, Rakaia and Ashburton all straight through. There are just three junior combinations – MSA, Ashburton and Methven – and four in the junior women’s - Rakaia, Ashburton, Allenton and Methven.

Play gets under way at 9am.

O’Connor the playmaker A slogfest awaits James O’Connor in his Super Rugby return but the new Reds flyhalf believes he has the added maturity to handle the playmaking responsibilities better than ever before.

As wild weather lashes Brisbane in the lead-up to Saturday night’s Suncorp Stadium clash with the Western Force, former Wallaby utility O’Connor said his recent stint in France left him well equipped to steer the ship for Queensland. “I had a fair bit of time in Toulon at 10,” he said. “In that situation especially where the language barrier really can show you out - I had to really work on my game.” - AAP

Hayne in talks with Lions

■ ROWING

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew has confirmed he is in talks with NRL convert Jarryd Hayne about joining the NFL team.

Mayhew was tight-lipped about the negotiations yesterday, but said “we are in dialogue right now” about Hayne’s future with us. The 27-year-old 189cm tall, 100kg Hayne shocked the NRL last year when he walked away from a lucrative deal with the Parramatta Eels to pursue a career in the NFL. - AAP

Double delight for Dyke

Burling destined to lead Peter Burling doesn’t talk in superlatives, having always adopted the laidback-Kiwi-kid attitude, but he’s clear on one thing. “I suppose I have a pretty good feel for how to make a boat go fast,” he said after winning silver with Blair Tuke in the 49er at the London Olympics.

It’s that ability which will soon see the 24-year-old helm Team New Zealand’s next America’s Cup campaign, replacing Dean Barker.

It was an inevitable transition and something, it could be argued, Burling was destined to do. - NZME

Mavs sign Stoudemire Amare Stoudemire signed with the Dallas Mavericks yesterday, giving the NBA club a front-line boost with a six-time All-Star as it fights for a playoff berth. The move came two days after the New York Knicks, with the NBA’s worst record of 10-43, released Stoudemire to give the playmaker a chance to join a title contender and boost their future funds under NBA salary cap rules. - AFP

Mayfield rower Emma Dyke had a golden day at the National Rowing Championships on Lake Ruataniwha yesterday.

The New Zealand junior rowing representative collected two gold medals competing for the Southern RPC. Dyke had finished runner-up to Waikato RPC’s Georgia Al-

len in the semi-final, but turned that around to win gold later in the day, getting home two seconds clear of Allen.

Dyke then doubled up, collecting gold in the under 22 pair with Holly Fletcher, and has potentially more medals today, racing in the under 22 coxless four and the premier four with fellow Mayfield rower Renee Olley.

Olley will partner Lucy Hutchinson in the under 20 pair A final tomorrow.

Supreme Halberg winner Hamish Bond has two A finals today, the premier pair with James Lassche and the premier four, before he defends his national singles sculls title against Olympic champion Mahe Drysdale tomorrow.

Bond will also row with the

Southern RPC premier eight.

Coxswain Natalie Bocock will be calling the shots for the Southern RPC premier women’s coxed eight in the A final tomorrow.

Dyke, Olley and Bocock are all hoping to impress the selectors who will name rowers to trial for the elite and under-23 teams at the conclusion of the regatta tomorrow.

Fenton to miss Sunday’s meeting with Jets

By DanieL RichaRDson All Whites defender Michael Boxall is likely to get his chance to stake a claim for a regular role with the Wellington Phoenix on Sunday as Louis Fenton has been ruled out of this week’s match against the Newcastle Jets in Lower Hutt.

Fenton suffered a concussion after being struck in the jaw by a thunderous shot during Wellington’s 0-all draw with Melbourne City at the Hutt Recreation Ground on Saturday.

The absence of Fenton will likely open the door for Boxall,

who has been limited to nine appearances from the bench this season; a couple of which have been at right back.

“Michael’s come on twice in that position and he’s done a great job so he’s probably going to be the person that slides in,” Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick said.

Merrick added the Phoenix were following concussion protocols around Fenton and he would continue to be monitored.

The Phoenix haven’t been able to find a goal in their past two games amid a slow return

to action following the Asian Cup break where they’ve lost two games and drawn one but Merrick said that should change against the lowly Jets on Sunday.

“We are playing some terrific football in the midfield. I don’t think we are playing our best defensive stuff in the midfield at the moment but we are certainly creating chances up front,” he said.

Wellington have come in for some brutal attention from opposition sides in a bid to slow their attack down.

“I think the tackling on our players has been pretty tough

and it’s not a great sight,” Merrick said.

“Are we going to play football or are we going to play some other game?”

Merrick said his side wouldn’t meet fire with fire and they would remain focused on playing their brand of football.

“I don’t want to get in to that.

“It then deteriorates; we are a ball-playing side. We’ve really improved, I think, the technical skill level and we’ll keep playing the way we’ve been playing that’s got us in to the fourth spot [on the ladder] at the moment.”

■ GOLF

Tackling that most frustrating of games Judith Stoddart (right) reacts to her tee shot at the Ashburton Golf Club’s nine-hole tournament yesterday.

Stoddart may not have been happy off the tee, but did the business on the greens, coming third in the putting stakes on 14.

Margaret McPherson took the win by lot from Ashburton’s Rona Evans after both had 13 putts.

Russley’s Eleanor Smart had the best nett 32 with Ashburton’s Bae Wright second by lot from Michael Reilly from Temuka, both with a net 32.

A total of 74 players from 11 clubs contested the annual tournament.

Shield still up for grabs The Studholme Shield race was thrown wide open when Tech was toppled by Lauriston B in senior cricket last week.

Teams are looking to edge closer towards the semi-finals of the Muirhead Rosebowl in tomorrow’s third round, but Lauriston A and Tech have one eye on the Studhlome Shield.

Lauriston A are now back in the hunt for the shield and are the only two-win team in the Rosebowl round, however the

third-placed Allenton pose a threat to their aspirations when they head out to Lauriston Oval tomorrow. Allenton have shown glimpses of being a title contender as the only other side to take down Tech this summer and coming off another impressive dismantling of Methven.

Tech will look to bounce back against Coldstream who went within one wicket of an upset win over Lauriston A but for a 73-run last wicket stand involving a former team-mate Logan Tasker.

Neither Tech nor Lauriston A will want to drop a game a week out from a potential shield playoff between the two sides in next weekend’s penultimate round.

The other game has this season’s strugglers - Methven and Lauriston B - clinging to a potential semi-final berth.

Lauriston B claimed only their second win of the summer but the young side, led by a few experienced heads, has progressed into a competitive outfit but two of Methven’s three wins for the summer have been against Lauriston B. They chase the clean sweep and to be a shot at a Rosebowl semi-final berth they will need to register a first win for the round at home.

Pacemen hold the key for Wellington clash By andrew aLderson Today’s one-day international between New Zealand and England could be decided by the guile of the pace attacks.

Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Adam Milne are likely to be pitted against James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Steven Finn on what is forecast to be a fine day in Wellington.

The New Zealanders appear in the ascendancy. Southee has a formidable record of 20 wickets in nine ODIs against Eng-

The local college cricket derby between the Mount Hutt College and Ashburton College 1st XIs in the Gillette Cup plays out at the Ashburton Domain today. The winner moves on to meet either Roncalli or Timaru Boys’ High School, who meet on Sunday, early next week before another quick turnaround for the third round.

Adding to the busy week, Ashburton College are set to meet Christchurch Boys’ High School Colts XI on Sunday in Christchurch - the third straight game against a CGHS team.

A depleted Mid Canterbury senior cricket side heads to the deep south to play Southland in a Hawke Cup dead rubber this weekend.

North Otago has already laid claim to the zone challenge and after three losses Mid Canterbury has nothing but pride to play for in the two day match in Invercargill.

This summer Southland drew with Otago Country before being beaten on first innings by North Otago and then an outright by South Canterbury earlier this month. Mid Canterbury has been equally disappointing losing to Otago Country and an outright loss to North Otago but did have a first innings win over South Canterbury. North Otago will challenge Manawatu, featuring Mid Canterbury ex-pat Ben Mably, for the Hawke Cup on March 13-15.

land at an average of 22.05 and strike rate of 24.6. Boult has played them once, but they’ve seen plenty of him at test level and Milne could offer the benefit of a pacey surprise having not met them before.

England’s trio also have strong records against New Zealand. Each has a better strike rate than their overall career numbers but the drop in bowling average is the most notable statistic.

Anderson’s 29.10 average drops to 28.69 in 22 matches

against New Zealand but the performances of Broad (29.06 to 24.46 from 16 matches) and Finn (27.55 to 24.42 from four) are more compelling.

England batting coach Mark Ramprakash was wary of the New Zealand pace bowlers.

“I like the variety of the attack. Our players will preparing for the ball to swing early because they get the ball in the right areas to trouble batsmen.”

McCullum said Boult’s rise to prominence with the white ball, resulting in an IPL con-

tract of $814,000, was marked.

“Trent was operating in our test lineup and, because of the sheer volume of cricket we were playing, we couldn’t give him the opportunities with the white ball because other guys were standing up and performing. The way that he’s stepped up so far with Tim Southee makes them a dangerous opening partnership.”

New Zealand, barring injury, will field the same XI which posted wins against Sri Lanka and Scotland.

Cricket part-timers the United Arab Emirates made a bold return to the World Cup after almost 20 years yesterday, fully stretching Zimbabwe before losing by four wickets in a tight-finishing Pool B match. Shaiman Anwar made 67 and 43-year-old veteran Khurram Khan 45 as the UAE scored 285-7 after being sent in to bat. After slipping to 167-5, Zimbabwe relied on Sean Williams’ unbeaten 76 to win with 12 balls to spare.

Mohammad Tauqir, who became the World Cup’s oldest captain at 43 and who works fulltime as an airline purser, took 2-51 as the UAE staunchly defended its total before Williams hit three consecutive fours for the winning runs.

Kirsten a consultant Having coached one team to the World Cup title, Gary Kirsten is now helping plot another nation’s bid for the coveted prize - and the two will meet when India take on South Africa on Sunday. Kirsten was India’s coach when MS Dhoni’s men won the World Cup in Mumbai four years ago. He left the job immediately after the tournament to take over as South Africa’s coach, serving the Proteas for two years before handing the baton to Russell Domingo. The 47-year-old is now back with AB de Villiers’ side as a consultant and joined the squad after the IPL auction. - AFP

Clarke a certainty Mystery still surrounds the Australian XI for Saturday’s World Cup clash with Bangladesh due to the weather, Brad Haddin says.

However, the cheeky Australian gloveman reckons the media will have to think hard about what to write about next now that captain Michael Clarke’s return has officially been green lighted.

Celebrations on polo fields South Canterbury by name but Mid Canterbury by make-up, the South Canterbury Polo Club celebrates its 50th Anniversary this weekend at the Winchester Polo Grounds.

George Askin and club president Michael Askin (pictured) are just two of the Mid Canterbury-based members making up a majority of the club.

There used to be a polo club in Mid Canterbury but when it disbanded many years ago the players headed across the Rangitata to play, and have continued to do so.

The club is holding a tournament over the weekend in Winchester but is also having a formal function in Geraldine tonight.

■ V8 SUPERCARS

Ambrose keeping expectations low V8 Supercars fans itching for a shakeup to the championship race won’t like hearing it but Marcos Ambrose says keeping expectations realistic on his return to Australia is the wisest choice.

Ambrose will make his competitive return as a full-time V8 Supercars driver at next weekend’s season-opening Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.

Given his status as a two-time V8s champion, there’s a hope among fans that Ambrose will be the man to break Jamie Whincup’s dominance of the category in the past seven years.

Ambrose won the annual Adelaide street circuit event in 2004 and 2005, the latter coming in his final year as a V8 Supercars driver before heading to the United States to pursue his NASCAR dream.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Today is likely to feel a little surreal, with the past and future meeting in a way that allows you to see where you’ve been and where you’re going.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) It’s from today that you’ll find a need for space, quiet reflection and to recharge your batteries, while life will remain as busy as ever.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) There is a congregation of professional forces today, with a changing of the guard putting your resources on the same page at the same time.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With things due to become more professionally focused over coming days and weeks, hold onto a sense of adventure and a thirst for life.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) The money gods bring a chance to run your financial instincts, passions, desires and dreams through a reality filter, able to draw a new line in the sand.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) For a few hours arriving and departing relationship forces bring a clear sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Factor in playtime today, with even the professional gods aware of the importance of having the right balance between work and play.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) If you’re going to find a balance between work and play it has to happen now, appreciating the importance of both.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Mars begins a new mission today, to fire up your romantic and creative passions, especially if life has been a little too serious of late.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While home and family matters have been on your radar they take on a whole new sense of urgency, ready now to make things happen.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Hold onto a sense of what’s possible while realising that in order to turn desires into reality you’ve got to get real, without losing the dream.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) From the very first full day of your birthday month and new solar year you’re aware of what excites you, your passions and fighting spirit.

Swimmers rewrite record books

Matthew Harford and Matthew Clough made the final Ashburton College swimming sports in the Ashburton Community Pool a memorable one, smashing 10 records between them in the year 10 boys’ races yesterday.

Harford set an impressive seven new benchmarks, while Clough established three of his own.

Stuart Doig’s 32-year-old one length backstroke record (20.3 seconds) was eclipsed by Harford by 0.74 seconds in the heats, before he shaved a further 0.2

off that in the final, clocking 19.54.

He also broke the one length freestyle record twice, bettering the 17.01s record by 0.06 and then a further 0.26s off it in the final for an impressive 16.69s.

Andrew McClay’s 18-yearold record in the one length

butterfly was bettered by 0.37s and Harford then took McClay’s other 18-year-old three length freestyle mark by 3.48 seconds.

Harford’s biggest recordbreaking effort came in the four length medley, slashing a whopping 6.5 seconds off the record.

Clough put his name to three records from 2009, cutting 0.28 off the one length breaststroke, 0.79 off the three lengths breaststroke and a 6.5 second improvement on the three length backstroke record. *More photos in Saturday’s Guardian

■ CYCLING

From joy to despair for NZ’s track cycling trio Seconds after celebrating their dominant world championship victory over France near Paris yesterday, New Zealand’s men’s sprint team’s joy turned to despondency when they were relegated due to a technical infringement.

Instead of back-to-back world championship gold medals,

Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins had to settle for silver after the commissaries noted that Webster had overlapped Mitchell’s rear wheel by a few centimetres in the changeover zone.

“It’s a technical rule that did not affect the result or the time but it is a rule nonetheless and

we have to wear it,” said head coach Dayle Cheatley.

It was a cruel finish for an otherwise excellent race for the New Zealanders, who recorded 42.808s in the final after topping the qualifiers with 42.892s.

Dawkins’ final lap of 12.999s was particularly impressive, the French having no answer to

come in 0.3of a second behind.

Lead-off rider Mitchell said the disappointment was tempered by the big picture.

“It was pretty grim at the time because we deserved that even more than we ever had.

“Our bad luck came around this time. It’s not a performance thing,” Mitchell said. “It was

about a tyre-width or so on the overlap and at 75km/h that’s not a lot of leeway.

“But on the positive side, we had our fastest sea level time, we were the only team under 43 seconds in both rides and we have put nearly half a second into the rest of the world as we look towards Rio.” - NZME
