Gang stoush at court Ashburton Police were yesterday called to a gang-related stoush that erupted outside the Ashburton District Court. The scuffle broke out after Chase Carlio Burton, 23, pleaded guilty in court to a rioting charge after an incident in Davis Crescent in August, that involved Black Power and Mongrel Mob members. Ashburton police sergeant Janine Bowden said police were called to the courthouse around 10.30am yesterday, to an incident that was said to be gang related.

There were two factions fighting and there were a number of people “fairly overtly” wearing the colour red, however there were no gang patches or other obvious paraphernalia, Ms Bowden said. After the police arrived the two parties quickly separated and one left the scene. Police spoke to a number of people who were present, however no formal complaints were laid, but police are continuing their investigations and will look at CCTV footage, Ms Bowden said.

Burton and Cody Nathan John Tihema, 24, both appeared before Judge Brian Callaghan on charges of rioting following a gang-related incident on August 27. The incident, between Black Power members, wearing blue, and Mongrel Mob members, wearing red, occurred at a park on Davis Crescent, Netherby, at 3.40pm. Eight people armed with a variety of items, including baseball bats and golf clubs, and wearing blue items of clothing entered the park.

One member had their face covered with a blue bandanna and was carrying a blue baseball bat. A confrontation ensued with a group of about six people who were also armed with a variety of items including a baseball bat and an axe, and wearing red items of clothing. One member also had their face covered with a red bandanna and was carrying a red baseball bat. The violence alarmed neighbours and resulted in numerous calls to the police. One of the par-

ties involved was taken to hospital with a head injury sustained in the incident. Police seized two baseball bats, a wooden fence post, a half round length of wood, a golf club broken into two sections, a length of black piping and a wooden broom handle. Burton and Tihema both entered guilty pleas and were remanded, bail to continue, to reappear in the Ashburton District Court on November 16, 2015. Tihema also appeared on a drink-driving charge.

Tree to rise again Auckland’s One Tree Hill will have a tree on its peak again – 15 years after the old pine was removed. The announcement was made by Auckland Council at 1pm yesterday on One Tree Hill. The 125-year-old Monterey pine was removed in 2000 after it became unsafe following chainsaw attacks in 1994 and 1999. Local iwi had blocked plans to replace the tree until they reached a Treaty of Waitangi settlement with the Crown. In 1994, Maori activist Mike Smith took a chainsaw to the lone pine out of frustration over the Government limiting Maori Treaty settlements to $1 billion. He was arrested for “interfering with a tree without resource consent” and convicted and sentenced to nine months’ periodic detention. Relatives of Smith’s then attacked the tree with a chainsaw in 1999. The first native tree planted on the 182m volcanic peak was cut down by settlers in the 1850s. Sir John Logan Campbell replanted a totara and pine trees but only one pine survived.

Forgery to stay in collection A Lindauer painting revealed to be a forgery will remain in the national heritage collection. The Alexander Turnbull Library paid $75,000 for what it had identified as an original Gottfried Lindauer portrait of a Maori man. A recent forensic investigation has revealed the painting is a forgery, and the matter has been referred to police. Chief librarian Chris Szekely said the painting still had heritage value, but it was extremely disappointing to learn the painting was a fake. He said the painting had a different type of research value to what the library originally envisaged.

Frozen takes to the air Do you want to build a Frozen-themed Boeing 737 plane? That’s exactly what Canadian airline WestJet have done. More than 600 litres of paint were used during three weeks of around-the-clock painting to create a livery featuring Anna, Elsa and Olaf from the Disney movie Frozen. Olaf lounges on a beach near the front of the plane while the sisters work their icy winter magic from the tail. The inside of the plane also boasts a changing season theme with overhead bins and headrests covered in sunflowers and snowflakes. “It’s about creating joy and fun and making magical memories as well,” said Executive Vice-President, Commercial WestJet. WestJet made the Frozen-themed plane after the success of its first custom aircraft called Magic, which featured Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The Frozen-themed plane will operate throughout WestJet’s 737 network. But sadly for Aussie and Kiwi fans of Anna and Elsa that means they won’t be coming here.

Odom reportedly progressing after coma Lamar Odom, the two-time NBA champion and reality TV star left fighting for life after a brothel binge, continues to improve in a Las Vegas hospital. The 35-yearold remains in the intensive care unit at Sunrise Hospital with serious medical concerns, US media reported yesterday. But E! News, without citing its source, reported on its website that Odom had shown he could swallow – a sign of neurological function – and had been helped out of bed and into a chair for the first time since he was admitted last week. Odom regained consciousness on Friday and offered his first words since he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel outside Las Vegas last week. Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly has said officers who responded to an emergency call were told Odom had used cocaine and sexual performance enhancer supplements in a multi-day stay at the brothel. Amid reports of brain damage or other organ failure, hospital officials have declined to comment on Odom’s condition.

Doctorate for Sheeran Ed Sheeran is returning to his home county to receive an honorary degree for his “outstanding contribution to music”. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter is to be presented with an honorary doctorate from University Campus Suffolk (UCS) in Ipswich. Sheeran, who grew up in Framlingham, Suffolk, and left school at 16, said he was “honoured” to receive the award. He said: “I’ve had an amazing year with my world tour and this makes it even better. “Suffolk is very much where I call home and I’m always welcomed back and get so much support. Receiving this recognition is a real privilege.” Sheeran, whose hits include Thinking Out Loud, Lego House and Sing, has become of one of the world’s biggest music stars after selling millions of copies of his albums + and x.

Mean business without being mean By Caitlin Porter

Yelling is the new smacking, says Families Without Violence coordinator Anna Arrowsmith. Since the introduction of the anti-smacking law in 2007 parents have said they feel they have been left without tools, and have resorted to yelling, she said. To help combat this Families Without Violence has come up with a new resource called Growing Great Kids. The resource covers why yelling does not work – yelling at small children scares them and shouting confuses children and does not get the message across – but also focuses on positive alternatives. Rather than giving children a time out give yourself a time out as a parent and make a commitment to talk to children in a respectful voice, Ms Arrowsmith said. “You can mean business without being mean.” “These things do work but you have to work hard at making them work.” Think First has also launched a new campaign focusing on positive parenting and parents as role-models. Co-ordinator John Hobbs said the “short, sharp awareness campaign” encouraged parents to keep in mind their attitude has an impact on the development of young kids. “If parents are screaming at

ket and even Parent Line. “And it doesn’t matter how old your child is, there is support within the district.” Now, Mr Hobbs is distributing resources for the campaign – which runs until the end of this year – around the community.

“We’re not wagging our fingers at parents, it’s just a friendly reminder,” he said. People wanting information on Growing Great Kids or the positive parenting campaign can call or drop into Safer Ashburton.

■ MISSING FISHING BOAT

Dive boat forced to return to port An unforeseen mechanical issue and deteriorating weather conditions have delayed the recovery phase of the SAR operation to locate the FV Jubilee and her crew. As the vessel Blue Arrow travelled to the site where the Jubilee disappeared off the Rakaia River mouth, Inspector Craig McKay said it suffered mechanical problems and had to return to Akaroa. “Canterbury Police SAR and

members of the NZ Police Dive Squad have assessed the conditions and unfortunately there are no other suitable vessels in the area that could take the dive team and their radial sonar onto site before nightfall and the arrival of a predicted weather change later this afternoon,” Mr McKay said. The safety of those involved in the recovery phase was paramount and the deteriorating forecast for the next three days

was for variable winds and big swells which would be too dangerous to deploy equipment or divers, he said. “Police are currently looking at other options to progress the recovery phase. It is too early in this process to confirm when this may occur and what form it will take.” The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has opened an inquiry into the sinking of the FV Jubilee.

“Police are working with the families of those thought to have been on board the FV Jubilee and her owner. Due to the stage of the recovery phase and sensitive nature of this incident no information about the crew or their identities will be released at this time” Inspector McKay said. Late on Sunday, Mr McKay said, a commercial fishing vessel located an item of interest near to the Jubilee’s last known position.

Rural blaze keeps firefighters busy Firefighters worked tirelessly to battle a blaze surrounding a home in Eiffelton yesterday. The Ashburton, Pendarves, Rakaia, Hinds and Ashburton Rural brigades all attended the fire on Longbeach Road at 1pm yesterday. Ashburton chief fire officer Alan Burgess said it was unknown what started the blaze but it engulfed trees, a hedge and toi-toi bushes that surrounded a house and garage. No one was injured, however the garage suffered “moderate damage” and the house windows cracked, Mr Burgess said. Firefighters were on the scene for just under three hours, fighting the blaze which covered an area approximately 150m x 75m. Mr Burgess said no official investigation would be launched, however he would talk to nearby witnesses including on-site contractors. “I think we will be able to nail that down and work it out reasonably early,” he said yesterday.

Jon Gadsby has cancer Kiwi comedian and children’s writer Jon Gadsby has been diagnosed with cancer.

■ REGIONAL ECONOMIC ZONES

District ahead of initiative By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Canterbury is well ahead of the pack when it comes to creating regional economic zones within New Zealand says Ashburton mayor Angus McKay. Business think tank, The New Zealand Initiative has released a report calling for regions to develop their own economic zones to ensure policy making is tailor made for their needs rather than being part of a one-size-fits-all national model. The plan has received a nod of approval from Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ). That concept might be new for most regions, but not in Canterbury where the region’s mayors decided three years ago there were significant benefits in working together to achieve eco-

nomic goals, Mr McKay said. Last month a Canterbury regional economic report was released that involved territorial local authorities each taking responsibility for an issue that was seen as key to their region’s growth. Ashburton is responsible for growing the region’s workforce through immigration. “We’ve been ahead of the country for about 10 years. We’re working towards creating our own zone, but that’s not taking anything away from local authority independence. “With co-operation and collaboration it is working. Other regions have talked about it; ours is well down the track in the doing.” The rationale behind creating regional economic zones is that

it would give individual councils a bigger stake in their own economic growth by identifying barriers that might not be apparent to decision makers outside a region, he said. It also dovetailed with a clear directive from central government that local authorities should be looking to work together where possible and again Ashburton was ahead of the pack with its road tendering co-operative involving Timaru, Mackenzie and Waimate districts, Mr McKay said. “We’re there, we’ve got it up and running in a very loose form without going through amalgamation and we’re leaving local governance well in place.” LGNZ president Lawrence Yule says the report is about kick-starting discussion around

more fit-for-purpose funding options. It outlines the way forward for regions to address location-specific policies and regulations and provides the right tools and incentives to meet environmental and economic goals and minimise barriers to growth,” he said. The need for a more flexible regime so innovative ideas and approaches could be trialled in some areas to allow a policy to be tested in a location or region was a key proposal in LGNZ’s Local Government Funding review. The report also calls for a more collaborative approach to policymaking between local and central government, in which local government could request regional variations on national level regulations to suit local needs.

■ ASHBURTON SERVICE LEVEL ALLIANCE

Sustainable after-hours service top priority By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

A sustainable after-hours service is a top priority for the Ashburton Service Level Alliance (SLA), says facilitator Craig Watson. The SLA is a part of the Canterbury Clinical Network and is a type of integrated health group. The group is made up of health care providers, leaders and professionals from around Mid Canterbury who work together to aid the transformation

of local healthcare services. Last week the Ashburton SLA held its second meeting at the Hakatere Marae, the focus of which was to develop a work plan for the year ahead. Mr Watson said the group recognised the need for sustainable after-hours services in Ashburton. While the SLA endorsed the work that has been going on for some time between general practices and Ashburton Hospital around after hours providers,

a viable service was a priority. The implementation of a review into mental health was also discussed. The SLA is set to undertake a review into mental health services available in Ashburton to ensure the community is well looked after, Mr Watson said. Kate Gibb, a member of the Health of Older Persons Workstream, was a guest at the meeting and addressed members about the preliminary work that had gone into reviewing the in-

tegration of both services. Mr Watson said the SLA supported the concept of the Ashburton District becoming an area which can better support elderly people. A new member was also welcomed into the group. Nurse manager Andrea Kinley will join the other 17 members to offer her perspective on primary care nursing. The date for the next Ashburton SLA meeting is yet to be confirmed.

Warnings for strong winds and El Nino By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

A severe weather watch for more strong north-west winds was issued yesterday as the government urged farmers to prepare for El Nino conditions this coming summer. Severe gales are likely from tomorrow morning to early Thursday morning according to the MetService, which issued a severe weather watch yesterday, including for inland Canterbury. People, especially farmers and those planning outdoor pursuits, were advised to keep up-to-date with the latest forecasts as warnings were likely to be issued closer to the event. Meanwhile, Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy yesterday urged farmers to prepare now for an El Nino summer. While impacts were hard to predict, El Nino often meant drier conditions in the north and east, with cooler temperatures and more rain in the west. “This would not be good for those on the east coast of the South Island who have had a very dry 12 months already and are still officially in drought. That’s why it is important to plan and start preparing now,” Mr Guy said in a press release. A brochure had been published yesterday with practical advice. This included implementing a feed budget, using irrigation water efficiently and planning for water restrictions, talking to experts such as your bank, accountant, veterinarian and peers, looking after your animals, making time for yourself and family, and asking for help if you need it.

Body in Southland river identified A young man who’s body was recovered from a South Island river on Sunday has been identified by police. Jade Rangi Cooper, 24, of Riverton, reportedly jumped from the Riverton Bridge on Saturday night. His body was recovered from the river on Sunday. “Jade’s family continue to thank all those who helped with the search, including the Coastguard, Fire Service, Land SAR [search and rescue], and members of the public,” police said in a statement. The Riverton Bridge is around 30km from Invercargill and the body of water feeds into the Foveaux Strait. - NZME

■ LEARNER DRIVER LICENCE TRAINING PROGRAMME

In brief

Last intake for driver support By Caitlin Porter

YMCA Learner Driver Licence Training programme co-ordinator Alice Pupuke has been helping to get Mid Canterbury people on the road. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 100815-TM-025

Mid Canterbury people keen to hit the road can enrol for the YMCA’s final 2015 intake of the Learner Driver Licence Training Programme. YMCA manager Poppy Cooper-Vear said to date more than 30 people had signed up to the initiative, part of the Steps to Freedom programme. However, Mrs Cooper-Vear said it was difficult to quantify how many people had passed their learner licence as that part of the programme was not mandatory. “The learner driver licence training is an initiative within our Steps to Freedom programme along with providing support around computer awareness,” she said yesterday. The initiative provides Mid Cantabrians between the ages of 16 and 65 years with

the opportunity to improve basic reading, writing and maths skills in an effort to obtain their learner licence. Co-ordinator Alice Pupuke runs the programme, which has been back in action since July after a short hiatus. Running over five to seven weeks, each person enrolled receives 100 hours of free support. The YMCA will also fund the cost of the learner driver test, but only once. However, additional support before re-sitting can be continued. With the final 2015 intake happening now, Mrs Cooper-Vear said the next enrolment was set to take place in January of next year for a February start. The YMCA Facebook page keeps people up to date with the programme, but anyone with questions can contact her or Alice Pupuke at the YMCA.

■ PHOENIX PRESCHOOL

Stewart reunion One of the Ashburton District’s early settlers, Peter Stewart, will be remembered by his descendants this weekend. Mr Stewart arrived in New Zealand in 1859 with his parents Janet and John Stewart, on board the Cresswell. Mr and Mrs Stewart and their 12 children were from Perthshire, Scotland, and after living for two years in Christchurch his father took up 50 acres of farm land at Halswell, where they remained for four years. Peter Stewart bought 360 acres at Seaview, Wakanui, later extending this to 760 acres. Mr Stewart and his wife Mary Donald raised a family of 11 children. Their descendants will meet for lunch on Sunday and will then gather at the Ashburton Cemetery to remember their ancestors.

Dead man named Police have named a 28-yearold man who died following an incident in Invercargill on Saturday evening. He was Andrew Michael Maugham, of Invercargill. Police have confirmed in a statement they were called to an altercation at a Dee Street property about 7.15pm on Saturday. Mr Maugham was taken by ambulance to Southland Hospital, where he later died from his injuries, a St John Ambulance spokesman said. The spokesman could not confirm the nature of the injuries. Police are continuing their investigation. - NZME

Body in caravan Police say it will be some time before a body found in a burnt out caravan over the weekend can be formally identified. Emergency services were called to the fire at the Waimea Town and Country Club in Richmond, Nelson, about 8pm on Saturday. Richmond fire chief Ralph Lonsdale said the structure “went up like a rocket”. A body was recovered from the burnt out caravan and a postmortem examination was expected to be completed yesterday. However, police said they expected it would be some time before formal identification could be completed. - NZME Children and staff at Phoenix Preschool entertained residents from Rosebank Resthome and Village last week.

staff take a walk to the nearby resthome to entertain the residents, but reciprocal visits were rare, she said.

■ NEW ZEALAND FLAG DEBATE

Current flag expected to win through By isaaC Davison None of the alternative national flags are likely to pose a challenge to the existing flag in upcoming referenda, a new poll shows. The survey by UMR Research revealed that Kyle Lockwood’s two silver fern flags were the most popular choices out of the alternative designs. An alternative flag will be cho-

sen from five designs through a single transferable vote system next month, in which voters list their preferences from one to five. If no flag receives more than 50 per cent of the first preferences, the least popular flags will be eliminated until one design wins half of the votes. In the UMR survey, 36 per cent of respondents picked Mr Lockwood’s Silver Fern (Red, White

and Blue) as their first preference. Mr Lockwood’s Silver Fern (Black, White and Blue) won 33 per cent of the vote, ahead of Aaron Dustin’s Red Peak on 18 per cent, Alofi Kanter’s Silver Fern (Black and White) on 7 per cent, and Andrew Fyfe’s Koru on 6 per cent. Once the single transferable vote method was applied, the red, white and blue silver fern

won ahead of the black, white and blue silver fern, but the result was within the margin of error. In a head-to-head vote, the existing national flag was much more popular than each of the alternative flags. The most popular alternative in the head-to-head vote was Mr Lockwood’s black and blue fern, which won 35 per cent of the vote. - NZME

It kicked off with a spike at 8am when the All Blacks lined up to take on their French rivals at Cardiff. Usage dropped away just before 10am as the game wrapped up. - NZME

In brief 20 migrants killed Twenty Afghan would-be migrants bound for Europe have been killed in Iran after the mini-bus in which they were travelling collided with a truck, state television said. Ten other Afghans suffered injuries in the accident, which occurred yesterday between Tehran and the central city of Qom, about 125km southwest of the capital, the television report said. The accident happened early in the evening. It comes as authorities in Iran report an influx of Afghans fleeing insecurity in their country, which borders the Islamic republic. - AFP

Indian teens arrested

Migrants head to cross a border line between Serbia and Croatia, near the village of Berkasovo, about 100km west from BelAP PHOTO grade, Serbia.

Bid to slow migrant flow Slovenia has warned it will be forced to slow down the rapidly rising influx of migrants arriving from Croatia and Serbia after Hungary shut its borders, raising fears of a human bottleneck. The government in Ljubljana said it had refused to allow in a train carrying 1800 migrants from Croatia, after more than 3000 people surged into the tiny EU member state the day before. Around half of the migrants

have already continued their journey to neighbouring Austria, another key transit country for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees, mostly from Syria, seeking to reach Germany. Slovenia stressed it would remain firm in its decision to handle up to 2500 a day to help ease pressure on both its own and Austria’s borders. “Croatia has demanded that we manage 5000 migrants per day

while Austria has told us that, due to the pressure they are under, they can’t handle more than 1500 people a day,” interior ministry spokesman Bostjan Sefic said at a press conference in Ljubljana. Pressure on Croatia increased after Hungary closed its frontier to migrants with razor wire early on Saturday in a bid to block the path of streams of refugees fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Budapest had already sealed its border with non-EU neighbour Serbia a month ago, rerouting the migrants flow towards its border with Croatia. Slovenia fears that, if Croatia continues taking more migrants than it is able to send forward, there could be a “spill-over” of migrants. “Measures are being considered” to secure the border in such case, Sefic said. - AFP

■ TUNISIA

Seventy hotels closed since attacks At least 70 hotels have closed in Tunisia since September after two deadly jihadist attacks on foreign tourists, and more are expected to follow suit. “The situation is very sluggish,” Radhouane Ben Salah, the head the Tunisian Federation of Hotels, said yesterday. With reservations at “no more than 20 per cent, 70 hotels had to

close since September because the lack of clients and more are expected to do the same,” he added. Ben Salah said he expected unemployment to climb as hotel staff would be forced out of employment. Joblessness already stands at nearly 30 per cent, with the number even higher among youths, and one in six Tunisians

lives below the poverty line. The country’s key tourism sector contributes to 10 per cent of gross domestic product, and employs 400,000 people, directly or indirectly. But it has been badly shaken by attacks on foreign tourists at the National Bardo Museum in the capital in March and a beachside massacre near the coastal city

of Sousse in June. The attacks, claimed by the jihadist Islamic State group, cost the lives of 22 and 38 respectively. The number of visitors from Europe have halved since January, and international hotel chains have announced plans to close over the winter season. Thirty of the 38 tourists killed in June were British. - AFP

Two teenagers have been arrested over the rape of a two-year-old girl, the latest sexual assault on a child in India’s capital to ignite public anger. Twenty police teams questioned more than 250 suspects before arresting the juveniles over the attack on the girl, who was found bleeding in a park near her New Delhi home. Both boys lived in the same poor western neighbourhood as the toddler and one of them was known to her family, Pathak said. The assault on the toddler, who is recovering in hospital, was the second within 24 hours after a five-year-old girl was gang-raped at a neighbour’s house in east Delhi. - AFP

Captain detained The captain of an overloaded pleasure boat which sank in the Black Sea near the Ukrainian city of Odessa has been detained, officials have said as the death toll rises to 14. Local officials said the vessel, which went down in a heavy storm at the weekend, had no lifejackets and too many people on board. “Two people who were reported missing have been found dead,” an interior ministry spokeswoman siad. The pleasure boat Ivolga was carrying 36 people, including three crew, when it sank. According to the latest information from the emergency services, 22 people were rescued, while 14 drowned. - AFP

■ NIGERIA

Female suicide bombers kill 11 in Nigeria Two female suicide bombers have killed at least 11 people in northeast Nigeria after hiding among residents fleeing a suspected Boko Haram attack on a remote village. The attack happened in Dar village, in the north of Adamawa state, at the weekend, the former head of the Madagali local government council, Maina Ularamu, said. Boko Haram has repeatedly attacked the area, which is near the border with Borno state to the north and the Islamists’ Sambisa

Forest stronghold, prompting calls for better security. “Residents fled to the bush. After a while, two women who were disguised as fleeing locals blew themselves up... while the gunmen shot at survivors,” he said. Ularamu said “so far 12 corpses have been found” but the Adamawa state police spokesman, Othman Abubakar, confirmed 11 dead. On October 1, seven people were killed in the village of Kirchinga, near Madagali, while four people were killed on September

30 in two other villages close by, both in similar raids. On September 11, seven people were killed when a bomb went off at a camp for people displaced by the conflict outside the state capital, Yola - the first time Boko Haram has attacked refugees. Thirty-one people were killed when two male suicide bombers detonated their explosives at a market in Yola on June 4. Suicide bombings are fast becoming Boko Haram’s preferred method of inflicting mass civilian casualties, accounting for seven

of the eight recorded Boko Haram attacks this month in Nigeria. Increasingly, the group is using two or more bombers, detonating the second or third explosives after people rush to help those caught up in the first blast. Similar tactics have been seen in Boko Haram attacks in Chad, Cameroon and Niger. This month alone 101 people have been killed in Nigeria, according to an AFP tally, while nearly 1370 have died since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power on May 29. - AFP

Sanafi al-Nasr

Al Qaeda leader killed The leader of a group of al Qaeda veterans which Washington calls the Khorasan Group has been killed in a coalition air strike in Syria, the Pentagon says. Sanafi al-Nasr, a Saudi national also known as Abdul Mohsen Abdullah Ibrahim al-Sharikh, was killed in an air attack in the northwest of the country last week, it said. Al-Nasr was listed as a “specially designated global terrorist” by the US Treasury Department in 2014. He had been erroneously reported dead in the past. - AFP

OUR VIEW

ECan the way you want it – have your say Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

nvironment Canterbury has had, at best, a chequered history. It has a valuable role as an environmental watchdog, it has a raft of highly skilled and dedicated staff, but until 2010 it stuttered along under a management and governance model that was at best dysfunctional. A team of government appointed commissioners stepped into the breach and the cumbersome organisation became one that functioned as it was designed to function. That was only an interim step, however. The intention was to restore democracy to ECan’s governance. It was just a question of how and when. The original intention was for this to occur at the 2016 local body elections but there were too many half finished projects in the mix to make this the best option. The government has opted for a half-way measure, seven elected councillors and six government appointees to run the organisation through to the 2019 election. It’s a good call, but one that has not been universally popular. There was a huge risk in overnight going from 100 per cent governance by appointees to 100 per cent governance by elected members. It is all about making a smooth transition, one that will allow skills and knowledge to be transferred and will ensure major projects such as the Canterbury water strategy can continue seamlessly. For the Ashburton District that project is key, it’s our economic future, growth and wealth that are at stake. A bill that will seal ECan’s fate is now before Parliament. It’s in the submission phase, the door is open for anyone who wants to, to have a say. As it stands, the Environment Canterbury (Transitional Governance Arrangements) Bill would see the transitional council in place for the 2016-2019 electoral term, leading to a fully elected council in 2019. If you don’t agree, you have one chance to let the Government know. Make a submission by November 19.

Convincing yes to a new Silver Fern Farms F

riday’s announcement of the resounding support for the Shanghai Maling investment in the proposed new Silver Farm Farms saw past farmer apathy left in the past. In recent years, meat and fibre farmers have not been proactive in using their right to vote on industry matters. Well done to the Silver Fern Farm shareholders, whether for or against the proposal, for exercising their rights to be heard at the roadshows and then voting in large numbers. When announced, this proposed injection of capital surprised most in the industry, and the game-changing nature of it will see all industry participants looking closely as to how it will affect the wider industry. It must be noted that the proposal will now go to the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) for approval with this process to take some months.

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

The acceptance of the Shanghai Maling application by the OIO is a must for the proposed new 50/50 joint company to be formed. In the interim, business goes on as normal. Personally, I would think the OIO will approve the application, based on other foreign investment levels in the meat industry and the potential benefits this proposal will bring to both farmers and the country as a whole. Should this be the case many people have concerns as to how the new company may change its strategy in future years and whether it will be to the benefit of the New Zealand shareholders.

It will be imperative that the shareholders of Silver Fern Farms Co-operative stay engaged, ensure they have a strong and skilled board of directors and carefully analyse the company results. Shareholders will need to be united in their position so those directors sitting on the Silver Fern Farms board are in no doubt as to the direction their 50 per cent of the company wish for. Admittedly Shanghai Maling do have the casting vote on business play issues but if there are only signs of united strength from the co-operative that will have influence when issues are before the board. Remember the saying, be divided and be conquered. Most of all, the suppliers do still hold the greatest influence of all, they own the stock and choose whether they supply the company or not. I see benefits to the whole in-

dustry in this new proposal as it will change how every company thinks about the industry in its entirety. I would say the last man standing thinking has already been discarded and each individual company will be carefully looking at their position in the industry and how, if any, this new entity will affect their strategy. As a positive person I see this injection of capital and opportunity into the industry, along with greater positivity around red meat markets, as an exciting time for our sector going forward. Ultimately though, our level of engagement with our industry in the future is the key. This period also needs to herald an increased awakening among all New Zealand farmers that we must dictate our own future, not be subservient to others.

■ CAPITAL GAIN

Does your house earn more than you do? BY LANE NICHOLS Workers in eight of the country’s 12 regions are earning more each day in their job than the average house generates in capital gain. But property prices in four other North Island regions are rising at a daily rate in excess of what the average person earns in a 9-to-5 shift. The figures highlight the “halo effect” of Auckland’s raging property market, as house-hunters and investors priced out of the city look to buy in neighbouring regions. But they also demonstrate the growing divide between super city house values and those elsewhere in New Zealand. An exclusive Weekend Herald investigation revealed house price growth in Auckland was outstripping people’s earnings by $295 a day, or more than $100,000 a year. Newly-released median wage figures published by Statistics New Zealand show the average Auckland worker earned $132 a day in the last year while the typical home added $427 a day in capital gain during the 12 months

HOW MUCH DOES YOUR HOUSE EARN? Median daily earnings for those in paid employment (by regional council area for June quarter) versus median daily house price growth in year to September 2015 Daily capital gain Daily wage ■ Northland $192.40 $118 ■ Auckland $427 $132 ■ Waikato $142.40 $123 ■ Bay of Plenty $189 $118 ■ Gisborne/Hawkes Bay $41 $109.70 ■ Taranaki $34 $128.20 ■ Manawatu/Wanganui $54.80 $107.50 ■ Wellington $36.60 $134.70 ■ Nelson/Tasman/Marlborough/ West Coast $68.50 $110.70 ■ Canterbury $13.60 $123 ■ Otago $82 $123 ■ Southland $5.4 $125.30 NZ total $177.10 $125.30 (Source: Stats NZ Income Survey and New Zealand Real Estate Institute)

to September. The shocking data underlines the deteriorating affordability of residential property in Auckland, one of the world’s 10 most over-valued housing markets. It would now take the aver-

age family nearly 10 years of their household income to afford a median priced $771,000 house. Nationally, the average home is rising in value by $51.80 a day more than the typical worker

earns in a shift. However these figures are skewed by soaring price growth in the Auckland market. Outside of Auckland, houses in just three other regions are earning more in capital gain than workers make in wages – though to much lesser degrees. Northland homes rose in value by $192.40 a day compared to median daily pay of $118 – meaning the standard house made $74.40 more each day than the average worker. The figures are similar in Bay of Plenty, where house prices added $189 a day compared to median daily pay of $118 – a $71 premium. Houses also earned more than workers in Waikato ($142.40/$123) – a difference of $19.40 a day. Releasing its September house price figures last week, the Real Estate Institute described the “halo effect” of Auckland’s rampant property market. Institute chief executive Colleen Milne said the data showed Aucklanders priced out of their own city were looking to the regions, most notably Northland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty. “These regions

have recorded strong sales growth so far during 2015, and this is now starting to be seen in the median price data.” But it is a different story in other parts of the country. Temperate house price growth or falling property values in eight other regions meant the average worker earned more each day than the typical home added in capital gain. The most dramatic example of this was in Taranaki, where median property prices slipped $12,375 in the last year, meaning workers earned $162.20 a day more than their house. Southland workers earned $119.40 a day more than the average home added in value, followed by Canterbury ($109.40), Wellington ($98.10), Gisborne/ Hawke’s Bay ($68.70), Manuwatu/ Whanganui ($52.70), Nelson/Tasman/Marlborough/West Coast ($42.20) and Otago ($41). Loan Market mortgage adviser Bruce Patten said regions not yet experiencing rapid price growth could still do so if Auckland prices continued to soar. - NZME

■ POLLUTION-CHEATING SCANDAL

Police raid VW’s French headquarters Police have raided Volkswagen’s French headquarters over an investigation into the massive pollution-cheating scandal that has engulfed the German auto giant, a judicial source says. Investigators have searched the company’s main office in VillersCotterets in northern France, as well as another office near Paris, seizing documents and computer hardware in the process, the source added. Like other countries, France has opened a probe into possible fraud over the pollution-cheating software installed in diesel engines by Volkswagen, which has admitted that 11 million vehicles worldwide are equipped with the program that dupes emission testing. Nearly one million diesel cars of the Volkswagen brands – VW,

Audi, Skoda and Seat – have been sold in France in recent years fitted with the pollution-cheating software, according to VW’s French unit. The World Health Organisation in 2012 declared emissions from diesel engines to be carcinogenic. Some of the vehicles with the cheat devices were found to emit 40 times the legally sanctioned levels of air pollutants called nitrogen oxides. Police in Italy also raided Volkswagen’s offices last week. In Germany, prosecutors said they had identified fewer than 10 suspects in the pollutioncheating scandal, as Volkswagen announced a drop in worldwide sales. The revelations about VW’s manipulation of its diesel engines have sparked one of the biggest

scandals in the history of the car sector. Chief executive Martin Winterkorn was forced to resign – replaced by Matthias Mueller, the former boss of the group’s luxury sports brand Porsche. VW also announced at the weekend it had named a top executive from rival carmaker Daimler as its new board member in charge of integrity and legal affairs from January 1. In addition to the costs of repairing so many vehicles, the once-respected carmaker now faces billions of dollars in potential fines and legal costs, aside from the incalculable fallout from lost sales and diminished customer trust. VW has said it would recall a total of 8.5 million diesel vehicles in Europe alone. - AFP

MARKET REPORT

Dairy Another week of winds and little rain has seen soil moisture levels fall further and pasture growth rates peak below the norm for this time of year. Dryland farmers will be reviewing their stocking rates, while irrigators water dry soils and apply urea, as managers look to hold peak milk flows for as long as possible with pasture rotation lengths now returning every 23 to 27 days. Bulls will now be out with R2 heifers and AI will soon start in the main herd as mating preparation plans look to achieve an active and short joining. Fonterra has had its Standard & Poorâ€™s credit rating downgraded as milk price volatility, increased debt, and capital expenditure have all affected investment risk of the business. And the chairman John Wilson attacked proposers of a motion to reduce the size of the board as shareholders look for the governance body to refocus on its co-operative principles and stem the loss of market share to the growing number of competitors. The dairy commodity market continues to recover as seen in the rising Oceania figures, but recent returns are now being hindered by a currency that is back in a firming phase.

Lamb Schedules were steady this week as many of last yearâ€™s lambs are now being graded hogget, although at this stage saleyard prices have yet to impose a discount for these older animals. Tailing is now in full swing and reported percentages are good after few weather is-

sues over the lambing period, but everyone is nervous about how dry the region is, especially this early. Silver Fern Farm shareholders have overwhelmingly accepted the Shanghai Mailing plan, and the second resolution to get a full report on a merger with Alliance was also thrown out by a big margin. With only Overseas Investment Commission approval now to achieve, farmers will be looking forward to achieving the benefits proposed by the deal which has given the red meat sector optimism for the future, something severely lacking in the past.

Wool A stronger currency and quiet market interest combined to drop wool prices in a small offering at last weekâ€™s North Island wool auction. Fine crossbred prices were most affected with falls of between 13 to 17 per cent, but coarser types fared better, but their indicator still dropped below $6 clean for the first time in six weeks.

Beef More easing of beef schedules this week as quota restrictions continued to hinder manufactured beef into the US from cow and bull grades, and the rise of six cents since its September low by the US dollar, is now affecting prime grades. Demand however continues for prime cattle in the Canterbury saleyards with values reaching record highs of over $3.30/ kg lwt this week, to match any price anywhere in NZ.

Deer Small schedule price falls this week possibly reflective of the rising Euro, as chilled game production moves into full swing and optimism returns to the venison market. The velvet harvest is now a three daily task as this quick growing appendage reaches its marketable stage, and managers are again reminded of the importance of animal welfare and food safety responsibilities as they remove this product.

■ INFANT MILK POWDER

■ FARM PRICES

SFO investigating collapsed exporter By matt Nippert The Serious Fraud Office is investigating an exporter of infant milk powder and manuka honey that receivers say collapsed owing more than $1 million. Nubiotics, owned and directed by Waikato businessman Trevor Lock, entered receivership and liquidation in August last year after falling behind on payments to boutique lender Waikawau Finance. Nubiotics marketed a range of colostrum-based cosmetics, active manuka honey and infant formula accompanied by impressive-sounding health and scientific claims. Lock, 54, is described in company literature as having a masters degree in biotechnology and bioengineering from Waikato University and formerly employed by Anchor as a nutraceuticals development manager. Reports prepared by receiver McDonald Vague show the company had been accepting deposits to provide products, but “had failed to complete” the agreements. The company’s main asset was listed as $5.1 million of trade debtors, but on further investigation this figure rapidly shrank. “The director initially advised that the cashbook was incorrect, and there was only one debtor

who owed $363,314, and that the balance related to contracts that had not been commenced or been completed. He subsequently advised that the remaining balance was irrecoverable, confirming that no supply had been made to the associated debtor,” McDonald Vague’s first report into Nubiotics said. Financing statements filed with the Companies Office show the $400,000 loan from Waikawau was secured against accounts receivable. Waikawau director Sharon Connolly, who owns the boutique financier with her husband, said the loan made in March 2014 was intended to be short-term and its defaulting was part of the reason her company had moved out of lending and into property development. “It was supposed to be only for

four weeks, but 18 months later we’re still in court with him trying to get paid,” she said. Lock made various excuses as to why his debtors weren’t paying up, she said – first that produce was stuck on the wharf in Tauranga, then China – but it was later revealed these excuses were hollow. Connolly said they were pursuing Lock in bankruptcy proceedings – the next hearing will be in the High Court at Hamilton on November 2 – in order to protect the public. “We’re never going to see our costs back from it – or our original capital back from him,” she said. The Herald has spoken to a number of Nubiotics customers based in New Zealand, Australia and further abroad – owed nearly $800,000 in total – who told a similar tale of incomplete contracts

following agreements to export infant milk formula for sale in China. They said Lock’s repeated stories promising delivery of the product or refunds of deposits – ranging from imminent logging contracts in India to honey sales in Egypt – repeatedly fell through. A spokesperson for the Serious Fraud Office confirmed the whitecollar crime agency was investigating the case, but there was no further comment as the case was still active. Receiver Jared Booth of McDonald Vague said there would be a considerable shortfall to creditors, but proceeds from the sale of Lock’s home were still to be distributed. Lock did not return calls or emails, and his residence in Morrinsville was recently sold by receivers. The four-bedroom property sold for $392,000 at auction in August, but mortgages and prior charges will see less than $100,000 made available to Nubiotics creditors. Since Nubiotics collapsed, Lock has registered two new entities with the Companies Office, Central Brokers and Oak On Elm Holdings. According to information provided to the Companies Office these companies, respectively, provide mortgaging broking and management consultancy services. - NZME

gures show farm prices are falling tember 2014 – a gain of 0.1 per cent. However, the median price per hectare fell by 6.6 per cent compared to August. REINZ’s All Farm Price Index fell by 7.6 per cent in the three months to September, compared with the three months to August. Compared with September last year, the index fell by 6.5 per cent. The index adjusts for differences

in farm size, location and farming type, unlike the median price per hectare, which does not adjust for these factors. The Real Estate Institute’s dairy farm price index fell 8.2 per cent in the three months to September compared with the three months to August. Compared with September last year, the index fell by 17.6 per cent.

Despite the declines, REINZ rural spokesman Brian Peacocke said spring sunshine, warmer temperatures, good prospects for beef and lamb, and a slow turnaround in the dairy industry were combining to lift morale in the rural sector. “The latest payout price from Fonterra and the lift in the GlobalDairyTrade auction prices have stimulated a collective sigh

of relief among dairy farmers,” he said. “While the problems are not yet solved, the signals indicate operational losses for the season may be less than anticipated.” For the three months ended September, the median sales price per hectare for dairy farms was $25,108 compared to $26,906 for the three months ended August 2015, and

$40,462 for the three months ended September 2014. The median dairy farm size for the three months ended September was 163 hectares. Peacocke said that, at this time of year, the low number of dairy farm sales does makes the median price per hectare and REINZ Dairy Farm Price Index more volatile. - NZME

Excitement as jamboree approaches Alice Jackson, Nicole and Jessica Moore get down to business at the Jumble for Jamboree held by the Methven Girl Guides at the Methven Blue Pub carpark recently. Parent Rachel Moore said the jumble had been a great success, with dozens of people patronising the various stalls, selling everything from plants to clothes and toys. Once all the raffle tickets were sold, she expected they would raise up to $600. This would go towards the guides attending a pre-jamboree camp at the Allenton den next month, leading up to the jamboree itself at the Canterbury A&P showgrounds in January. The jamboree is held every four years, and guides throughout the district were excited as the time got closer, Mrs Moore said. “It’s a massive thing for them to be going,” she said. PHOTO SUPPLIED

■ ASHBURTON MUSEUM

Wading through hospital collection By Kathleen Stringer

t’s busy busy at the Ashburton Museum at the moment with lots of material coming in from various quarters. As readers may have guessed we have processed the collection of material from Ashburton Hospital, which has brought forth a number of gems. Work is also progressing with the County Council material. Presently, we are wading through the ‘old county files’ which begin in the 1920s and finish in the early 1950s. As always, they throw up interesting tidbits and questions to ponder. Did you know for example, that in 1936 the Government passed the Alsatian Dog Act? As someone who had close contact with an Alsatian (a term much easier to stomach than the more familiar ‘German Shepherd’ during the war) I was interested

to learn that this act required owners to be on a special register, and pay a 5 pound fee (over and above a normal dog registration). This breed could be banned from a district and if permitted, they must be muzzled in public or where tradesmen, etc. might appear. I guess it is no worse than the fear people have of pitbulls these days, however, as the dog I knew was far more gentle than my half breed corgi/spaniel it does seem a little over the top. Other ‘finds’ was a reply to the Star newspaper’s question on how the Ashburton County viewed daylight saving, in 1928. The reply was that the area was divided – sheep farmers were not disadvantaged, but dairy farmers were. The chairman, Mr Horsey, added that “the scheme affects children deleteriously as it is difficult to enforce retirement and sleep during daylight”.

Two other items I came across require your input. In 1927 a Joseph Dalley congratulated Advance Ashburton on the work they did on Elm Avenue. So where was it? I have discovered a three-page list of people who registered their willingness to accept British children evacuated during the war. While we know the names and addresses of kind-hearted people, what I want to know is, did any British children make it to Ashburton? Right - Apart from documents, the Ashburton Hospital collection contained a number of photographs. Readers may be amused by this image, taken in 1941 which shows Dr McIlroy and nurses (back, from left) Fowke, Laverty, Ivory, and (front) nurses Davidson and Rennie.

NZ not always a paradise By Kathleen Stringer

spend a lot of time telling people what we collect, reminding them that our prime focus is to collect and preserve what is significant or pertains to Ashburton. However, sometimes something comes along that, although it doesn’t fit the criteria, just begs to be retained. This item that was folded up within a large collection of family material is one such case. I have no information about the song, but I’m guessing it was written in the late 1800s. Possibly the writer was one of the many enticed to migrate as part of the Vogel scheme, which, while it provided jobs for all as the land was broken in and the massive infrastructure we needed – such as railway and roads – was constructed, it later resulted in large numbers of unemployed. The piece is part of a small, often

hidden, group of writing that shatters the myth of New Zealand being a paradise. Although many people encountered hardship and sometimes disappointment when they arrived in this country, most usually struggled on in silence – reciting the creed of New Zealand the wonderful, a fresh land full of opportunity. Grumblers, such as this man, were shunned and told to either go back home, or that their problems were the result of laziness or some other flaw in their character. Even back in the 1800s, we didn’t appreciate people being negative about New Zealand. Some modern historians suggest that while one reason was a genuine pride in their adopted country, another was that many did feel a sense of frustration that the move across the oceans didn’t bring the success and change they had hoped for. Writings such as this made their private disillusionment public,

causing further distress. Writers of such pieces as this were often the target of hostile, even aggressive attacks. For example, an Oamaru minister wrote a letter home which was printed in a number of newspapers (both overseas and, embarrassingly, here). While he spoke truthfully about the lack of employment and the cost of some goods nationwide, the townsfolk of that progressive and wealthy town took it as personal slur. Letters to the local newspaper verbally attacked him, calling him a traitor and questioning whether the community needed such a man in their environs. He was removed from several public committees and on a few occasions threatened with physical violence. It is no wonder, then that the writer of the Emigrant’s Mistake decided not to tell us his name.

Ashburton Guardian 17

In brief

Solo victory to Whiting Wayne Whiting went it alone in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 45km handicap event around the Dawsons Road block on Sunday. Having made a bold solo break away mid-race, Whiting found the front and settled into his work in blustery conditions, ensuring that the chasing marks did not haul him to secure a hard fought victory. A sizable chasing group came together inside the last couple of kilometres with Rob Hooper finishing the race the strongest to claim the second place spoils.

Timaru visitor Nathan Dickson took the final podium position. Neil Wylie, having his first hit-out of the season showed he is in good nick claiming fourth spot. Kristine Marriott and Michael Gallagher rounded out the top six. Chris Karton continued his record of fastest times covering the course in 65.40. Co-markers Tony Ward and Simon Earl took second and third time. The juniors and division 2 competed over 15km. Suzie Leech pulled out a top shelf ride to take the win

in a tight finish with second placegetter Amy StilgoeRooney. Mitchel Fitzsimmons continued his good form to take the third place spoils. Fourth placegetter Abe O’Donnell made a late charge and was rewarded with fastest time honours riding the distance in 28.24. Bella Roulston and Matheson Colquhoun filled the top six spots. Andy Skinner took Division 2 honours. Next week the club will contest a 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block.

The Wellington Phoenix, it seems, will thrill as much as they frustrate again this season. On Sunday night they scored a late winner in a 2-1 defeat of Perth when Vince Lia claimed

his first goal in four-and-a-half seasons just when it seemed the match was petering out to a draw. The Phoenix have proved they can play some flowing, attractive football. - NZME

Puccini has changed stables following his unplaced run in the Gr.3 David Jones Cup at Caulfield at the weekend. The dual Group One winner of the New Zealand Derby and the Thorndon Mile for Matamata trainers Peter and Jacob McKay is now in the care of Darren Weir. Puccini is raced by his breeders Paul and Cushla Smithies, who stressed that the change was no reflection on the McKays, rather they wanted to continue chasing Australian black type to enhance the five-year-old’s future stallion prospects. - NZME

Mongolian Khan has been weighted on a par with two past Caulfield and Melbourne Cup winners in his bid to complete the famed double. The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained fouryear-old has been re-handicapped a kilo for his win on Saturday to 56kg in the Flemington feature on November 3. Mongolian Khan will now carry the same Melbourne Cup weight as Gurner’s Lane and Might And Power when they completed their respective Group One staying doubles in 1982 and 1997. Galilee is the only four-year-old to carry more weight to win the cup in the last 50 years when he was successful in 1966 with 56.5kg. - NZME

In brief Samoa coach gone Stephen Betham has resigned his position as Samoa rugby coach after the team’s disappointing performance at the Rugby World Cup. Samoa Rugby Union chief executive Faleomavaega Vincent Fepuleai said yesterday Betham had stepped down and that a full review of Samoa’s World Cup campaign will be undertaken. “Stephen has called it a day ... and I think we will go through the proper process in recruitment of a new head coach. The position will be advertised internally and externally and we will secure the best person who we think will take us over the next four years to World Cup success.” - NZME

Canterbury Country bowlers take the titles

Humiliation, shame, pathetic and pitiful - they were just a few of the barbs tossed at the French by their media after their harrowing record loss to the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup finals. Philippe SaintAndre and his players awoke to a storm of controversy as the French media vented following the 62-13 defeat at the hands of New Zealand. The grim defeat has plunged France into a bout of soul-searching about its whole approach to the sport. Respected sports paper L’Equipe headlined its report “The disaster” before warning that France was now just a minor rugby nation. Le Monde called it “Black Saturday”. La Dépêche du Midi called it the “ultimate disaster” saying French rugby “had fallen into ridicule”. - NZME

Tests boost Argentina

No panic over AB injuries

Argentina’s inclusion in the Rugby Championship threatens to haunt the Wallabies in their Rugby World Cup semi-final against the Pumas. Star playmaker Nicolas Sanchez has made it clear that playing regularly against southern hemisphere powerhouses New Zealand, Australia and South Africa for the last four years has been crucial to the Pumas’ impressive World Cup performances. The 26-year-old five eighth booted five penalties and four conversions, missing just one kick at goal, as Argentina ran in four tries to see off Six Nations champions Ireland 43-20 in Sunday’s quarter-final to set up a semi-final against Australia. - AFP

The men’s representative teams’ triangular tournament was won by Canterbury Country for the first time at the Ashburton Bowling Club on Sunday, while Can-

terbury Country also won the women’s section in Allenton. Mid Canterbury finished in second place by one in both the women’s and men’s tournaments, with South Canterbury in third.

From Sunday’s event, selectors Gordon Sparks and Sandra Holdom picked men’s and women’s teams respectively to compete for Canterbury Country against Town at the Morrison Avenue Bowling Club in

Christchurch on November 8. Sparks said that the day was enjoyed by all, with a high level of play on show, and he expects some very competitive bowls when Country face Town next month.

The availability of prop Wyatt Crockett and wing Nehe MilnerSkudder for the All Blacks’ semifinal against South Africa at Twickenham remains in the balance. A day after their team’s 62-13 humbling of the French at the Millennium Stadium, which coach Steve Hansen admitted was “special” and helped exorcise a few ghosts of World Cups past, team doctor Tony Page has apparently asked him for more time before making a prognosis on Crockett’s groin injury and Milner-Skudder’s shoulder. Crockett left the field after 28 minutes, with Milner-Skudder not returning after halftime. “Doc’s had a look at them and he’d like another day to see how they are and we’ll make some decisions then,” Hansen said. “There’s a bit of concern but there’s no point in panicking and hitting a button when you don’t need to.” Joe Moody, the late arrival for

the injured Tony Woodcock who excelled as Crockett’s replacement, has eased any queries about whether he can cope at this level, while Waisake Naholo is Milner-Skudder’s likely replacement should he be needed. On the day Argentina beat Ireland 43-20 in Cardiff and Australia sneaked past Scotland 35-34 at Twickenham to confirm the final semi-final opposition, Hansen was asked about the Springboks’ form at this tournament. Deservedly beaten by Japan in

their opener, they fought back to top their pool and got past Wales 23-19 thanks to a late Fourie du Preez try laid on by No8 Duane Vermuelen. “I thought they came under enormous pressure early on in the tournament,” Hansen said. “Funnily enough, I think, after an initial shock back home, the country has got right behind them. “They seem to be growing an arm and a leg each week. “Wales chucked everything at

them and they showed a lot of mental aptitude. That was a sensational try, a great pass from Duane in the last 10 minutes.” There was a big difference in the manner of South Africa’s victory over Wales, and the All Blacks’ nine-try humiliation over France, just as there is a big difference between Boks’ coach Heyneke Meyer and Hansen. The former, an emotional man who finds it hard to sit still in his coaching box, is good friends with Hansen, a more stoic individual, who admitted to getting out of his seat after Julian Savea’s second try. “I think if I did that [acted like Meyer] I’d probably have a heart attack,” Hansen said of his mate. “He wears his emotion on his sleeve. “I reckon that’s great. “I might have got a little bit excited yesterday when they scored a try just before halftime. I left my seat and I don’t normally do that but it was an important try.” - NZME

As a lock, Brodie Retallick is somewhat used to getting roughed up on the field - but his latest injury was part of the parcel of scoring the first try against France. Following the Rugby World Cup 2015 quarter-final between the All Blacks and France, Retallick was seen sporting an impressive black eye. It turns out this injury can be blamed on Retallick scoring the debut try of the match - during which he took a ball in the face from Frederic Michalak’s kick as he charged down the field. “That’s where the ball got me on the charge down, square in the eye,” he told One News. “[It’s] come off the head rather than the hand, so that’s lucky.” - NZME

■ RUGBY - OPINION

The ref gets it wrong By GreGor Paul The quarter-finals were just one minute away from being the best series of knockout games in World Cup history. And then disaster struck. The one thing that was supposed to not be able to happen any more happened - and that is ... a referee made the critical decision that determined the outcome of the contest. And Craig Joubert got it horribly wrong. He robbed Scotland of what would have been an upset every bit on a par with Japan beating South Africa. His mandate is to referee the clear and obvious, and in no way could the incident leading to the penalty be categorised as that. It’s still not clear on any video evidence exactly what happened - and that’s kind of the point. If it’s uncertain after hundreds of views whether the ball came off a Scotland player or Wallaby halfback Nick Phipps then the only decision he could possibly have made was to rule it accidentally offside and award the Wallabies a scrum. Not a kickable penalty.

He did exactly that earlier in the game. What makes the Joubert decision worse, was that he wasn’t sure. He can deny that now all he likes but the fact he stared at the big screen after he’d awarded the penalty and then sprinted off the field at the end suggests he knows he got it wrong. It wasn’t clear and obvious and the one thing World Rugby has been desperate to eradicate is marginal, controversial decisions. Which brings into play the second issue. This tournament has seen the powers of the TMO extended to the point where barely a try has been awarded without their say-so. Foul play has also been scoured for and found pro-actively by TMOs. It has meant for longer games. It has meant for periods - sometimes minutes at a time - of waiting for a TMO to trawl through endless replays to make their minds up. It has been excruciating at times but the pay-off, until now, was the accuracy of the decisionmaking. Everyone can handle waiting if

Referee Craig Joubert. it leads to the right decision. So there are two question pertinent to the last five minutes of the last quarter-final. The first is why didn’t the TMO intervene when video footage showed Scotland fullback Stuart Hogg being late shouldercharged by Drew Mitchell? The incident may or may not have been that bad but why wasn’t it reviewed? What if he’s cited for it now as he presumably will be - and found guilty of committing a yellow-card offence? It won’t change history but it will confirm that the officials failed despite having the resourc-

es there to ensure they don’t fail. The irksome part of that from a Scottish perspective is that Sean Maitland was yellow carded on the back of a TMO decision earlier - ruled to have deliberately knocked on. It was a harsh and hard to justify call. The second question is why do the rules as they stand, prevent Joubert from asking the TMO to help with the ruling that led to the last minute penalty? Why allow technology to intrude as far as it has but not then provide some kind of mechanism for it to be utilised at such a crucial period? We have to wait an age for TMOs to rule on most things. Why not just wait a little bit longer to give them jurisdiction to rule on all things? Technology’s role has been increased for one reason and one reason only and yet Scotland have been knocked out because a referee made a mistake. If Australia had conjured some late magic as they did against Ireland in 1991 to save that game then brilliant. But they didn’t - they didn’t earn it. - NZME

In brief Hastings an angry man Livid Scotland rugby great Gavin Hastings wants Craig Joubert to never be allowed to referee another Test again after his contentious penalty decision led to a heartbreaking loss to Australia. Scotland, huge underdogs to knock off the Wallabies in their quarter-final yesterday, were just two minutes away from a famous victory at Twickenham. However Joubert penalised Scotland for offside after a fumbled ball at the back of a lineout. Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw was despondent, but it was former fullback Hastings - the country’s second-highest pointscorer - that didn’t hold back. “He should be sent home tomorrow, he should be punished and he should not be allowed to make an international rugby commitment again,” Hastings said. - AAP

Genia couldn’t watch As Bernard Foley lined up his match-winning penalty kick that sent the Wallabies into the Rugby World Cup semi-finals and broke Scottish hearts, his halves partner bowed his head and couldn’t bear to look. “I put my head down and just thought ‘If I hear a really loud cheer he’s missed, if I hear a little bit of a cheer he’s got it’,” Genia said. “So I was real grateful it was a little bit of a cheer.” Foley’s right boot delivered the Waratahs a Super Rugby title in 2014, also after a dodgy call from Joubert. - AAP

ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

20/10

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Sometimes you’re the star; sometimes you’re the extra. Today will bring another scene that requires respectful normalcy and blending in. After the director yells “Cut!” you can go back to being yourself. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There’s nothing shocking about today’s events except that you know how most of them will turn out before they happen. Are you getting more psychic, or is life getting too predictable? GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Many Geminis are after success in business. It’s a matter of finding out where your customers are and going after them. It’s not hard. It’s a lot easier than trying to make them come to you! CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The best action is the one that has you feeling so powerful, engaged and interested along the way that the result of all this effort doesn’t matter to you. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Truth: This endeavour you’ve taken on is not for the faint of heart. False starts, mistakes, long periods of recovery, more mistakes — so what? The only way to fail is not to try at all. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): It’s evident that you don’t have an excellent plan. It seemed like a good idea, but if the efforts aren’t paying off as expected, time to change your tactics. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Everyone has to start somewhere. Remind yourself of this as you look at those who have what you’d like to have. It may seem very far away at this point, but if you keep going, your day will come. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The best idea isn’t always the one chosen. Who has authority? Who’s popular? It’s that person’s idea that is more likely to get traction. Think about this before you propose your idea. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The passersby appreciate what you add to the ambiance of a place, though most won’t say it. So it’s nice when a certain someone likes the song of your gypsy spirit and puts spare change in your tambourine. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Some talk in words strung together. Today someone talks to you in meanings and feelings so you do something different from what you would have before the conversation. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Just because another person has cast you in a certain role in his or her life doesn’t mean you have to take that appointment. Pick and choose your projects. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll save yourself money and trouble by thinking forward to between now and the end of the year. There are certain events coming up that you will not be able to attend unless you make plans now-ish.

P19

Northern hemisphere wipeout BY DARREN WALTON Irish great Brian O’Driscoll is lamenting the embarrassing demise of the home nations after the southern hemisphere super powers filled all four Rugby World Cup semi-final spots for the first time. The top-ranked All Blacks will clash with the Springboks on Saturday before the Wallabies tackle Argentina’s fast-emerging Pumas on Sunday after the four Rugby Championship nations completed an historic quarter-final sweep

at the global showpiece. New Zealand stepped up their title defence with a record 63-12 rout of France, South Africa edged Wales 23-19, Argentina swamped Ireland 43-20 and Australia scored a last-gasp 35-34 win over Scotland. The Webb Ellis Cup is now guaranteed to remain in the southern hemisphere, the seventh win in eight World Cups. While the All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks have all triumphed twice, O’Driscoll says the

Pumas’ 23-point drubbing of Six Nation champions Ireland should have the Australian camp on red alert. “Argentina have shown the gulf in class now between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere and how much the Rugby Championship has worked in their favour, being included in that,” said the 141-Test legend. “Obviously they’ve piggybacked on their first (RC away) victory against the Springboks in Johannesburg earlier this year.

“They’ll give Australia a pretty good run for their money in the semi-final. “I still think it might be an Australia-New Zealand final. It just has all the hallmarks of them being the two best teams in the world this year.” The trans-Tasman rivals have never clashed in a World Cup final and Argentine playmaker Nicolas Sanchez is quietly confident about the Pumas’ prospects of crashing the party. A 23-point hero in Argentina’s

big win over Ireland, Sanchez says the Pumas have grown immensely as a team since joining the Rugby Championship in 2012. The Pumas claimed their first scalp in the tournament last year when they toppled the Wallabies in Mendoza before downing the Boks this year. “Without doubt, playing against the very best teams in the world six times a year helps you go up a level and the team is starting to show that this tournament is helping us,” said Sanchez. - AAP
