The importance of country halls is evident in the following excerpt reported in the Guardian on June 21, 1920: At a recent gathering of ladies, a society was formed known as the Mount Somers Women’s Society. The objects of the society are the instruction and amusement of its members. Reports to hand showed the membership to be well over 30. It was agreed to hold a social evening, to which members of the Men’s Club are to be invited.

Film pioneers do it for love Makers of a local Chinese movie hope it will become a hit but it may have already broken the record of being the cheapest feature-length movie production here. The Love – a romantic comedy in Mandarin – was produced on a budget of just $30,000 and will premiere at the Rialto cinema in Newmarket next month. The 90-minute film is also believed to be the first Mandarin-language feature film made by a fully New Zealandbased Chinese cast and crew. Producer Nicole Kang said the production aimed to showcase “New Zealand and our local Chinese talent” to the world, and start a Chinese-language film culture to call its own.

Paquin bares all Kiwi actress Anna Paquin is upping the ante on the latest cover of the US magazine Entertainment Weekly. The True Blood star has stripped down for an eye-catching photo with her real-life husband Stephen Moyer, 41, before the show’s final season. The couple also opened up about their steamy onscreen love scenes. Paquin told the magazine. “We set the bar very high for weird very early on ... Actually, the potentially awkward couplings (are) not the weirdest (stuff) that we’ve done on this show.” Paquin, 31, and Moyer, who have twins together, also turned heads when they graced the cover of Rolling Stone nude and spattered in fake blood with co-star Alexander Skarsgard in 2010 – the year they wed.

1D star buys soccer club One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has completed a takeover of English football club Doncaster Rovers, a spokesman for his co-owner says. Tomlinson, 22, is a lifelong fan of his hometown club, which plays in England’s third flight, and turned out for their reserves in February, which he described as a “childhood dream”.

Now the boyband sensation has gone a step further by taking control of the northern English team alongside businessman John Ryan.

“It’s done, the takeover is complete,” Ryan’s spokesman said, adding that more details would be revealed at a press conference later on.

■ SYNTHETIC CANNABIS ALTERNATIVES

Users turn backs on new ‘legal’ highs

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Heavy users of the now banned synthetic cannabis are turning to cannabis and other drugs, as they turn their backs on the latest crop of legal highs, a Mid Canterbury drug expert says.

Controversial legal high retailer Garry Davies has a range of eight new products, some which are caffeine, kava and tea based, which he says flout the Psychoactive Substances Act – banning all substances deemed psychoactive until they are proven safe – because they are not chemically based.

He said the new products, which include four blends from the large legal high manufacturer Tai High, have a similar effect to the outlawed synthetic drugs, but he was not aware of any harmful episodes by users.

“They are selling okay, they are reasonably popular but it takes time, it won’t happen overnight,” he said.

However, Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service manager Chris Clark said the new products were considerably weaker and hard users of psychoactive substances had turned to cannabis or other illegal drugs.

“We haven’t had referrals that’s why we don’t think these (the new products) are going to cause the same issues at this stage,” she said.

However, Ms Clark said users would be foolish to use any products when they don’t know what they contained.

Ministry of Health psychoactive substances regulatory authority manager Dr Donald Hannah said he was aware of the new non-psychoactive products coming on to the market and investigations continued to determine if they should be regulated under the Act. It also kept in contact with the National Poisons Centre and the Centre for Adverse Reaction Monitoring.

However, there was nothing the ministry could do to stop Mr Davies from selling the products.

“In the absence of evidence demonstrating that these products are psychoactive, the authority considers that these products are non-psychoactive and therefore not subject to regulation under the Act,” Mr Hannah said.

“They are likely to be covered by exclusions to the Act, including dietary supplements and foods (which includes teas) which are covered by different legislation ... any smokeable products, and sale of such products, must also comply with the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990.”

Mr Hannah said regulations were being developed to enable future applicants to apply for approval.

These regulations are expected later this year.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE BALL, 2014

Gatsby glitz, glamour on show Ashburton College pupils and their dates didn’t sell themselves short when it came to living up to the glitz, glamour and extravagance of The Great Gatsby.

Top hats and bow ties were a must for many of the young men, while their partners opted for long dresses with an array of black, white and gold, as the Hotel Ashburton resembled an out-of-this-world scene from the 2013 blockbuster film.

As the college put it itself, turning up in a car doesn’t really happen at senior balls nowadays, as many selected unique modes of transport to add their own spice to the night when they rock up to the red carpet.

For the students, the biggest night on the social calendar was the culmination of a long week of anticipation, while for the district’s beauticians, hairdressers and dress fitters it came as a welcome relief.

For the Ashburton College ball committee last night rounded off months of organising, preparation and stress, but it was time for them to

Potential cash carrot fails to attract customers MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury schools stand to make $4.5 million from rental houses they own, but the cash carrot doesn’t appear to be encouraging most into selling off their assets.

This week the government changed its stance on the sale of surplus school housing when it announced all proceeds from property sales would go to the school from July, instead of the 50 per cent school board of trustees currently reel in from the sales.

According to the Ministry of

Kiwi to ref cup match New Zealand’s Peter O’Leary will referee his first World Cup match after being assigned the Group F game between Nigeria and BosniaHerzegovina in Cuiaba on Sunday.

It is a crucial match for both teams who will need a victory to boost their chances of advancing in the tournament. The 42-year-old worked as a fourth official at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and he holds a number of appearance records in FIFA competitions. He was the fourth official for the Group E match between France and Switzerland. O’Leary will be joined by fellow New Zealanders Jan Hendrik Hintz and Mark Rule as assistant referees.

■ DISTRICT’S SCHOOL HOUSES

BY MYLES HUME

In brief

Education there are 24 school houses in Mid Canterbury with a collective price tag of $4.5 million as of June last year.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy said school houses were still used by the district’s rural schools for new staff members and families new to the community.

“I don’t think there will be a whole lot of flogging off of the silverware, I think schools value their school houses.”

Mr Murphy said Methven Primary’s board of trustees managed the principals’ quar-

ters, while the ministry owned others in the community.

He said the houses were a “drawcard” for prospective staff as they were offered at 75 per cent of the market rent, while schools now had a substantial asset if they fell on hard times.

The ministry says there are 1900 school houses on its land worth more than $300 million, and selling off some of those would eliminate long-term vacancies with the extra revenue to be added to the lump sum given to schools to maintain school property.

Mt Somers-Springburn School principal Brent Gray did not have plans to sell off the school’s house as it played a role in attracting new teachers.

Meanwhile, Dorie School principal Anthony Dorreen said the school’s quarters had not been occupied by a teacher for a while, and believed now may be a good time to sell.

Hinds School principal Eric Davis wished the announcement was made a couple of months ago as the school is in the process of selling one of its two properties because it only needed one.

Helmets for scooter riders may soon be compulsory for a Napier school, after a tragic accident left a boy critically ill in hospital. The 13-year-old received head injuries when he rode on to a central Napier street and into the path of a car about 5.30pm on Wednesday.

Despite having apparently been implored by his parents to wear a helmet, the boy was not wearing one. He and a friend sped on to Tennyson St from the vicinity of the Napier Municipal Theatre carpark. “They were flying,” said witness Nick Chard. The boy flew over the bonnet, smashing the windscreen. Mr Chard said: “By the look of the damage, he hit it with some force.” He was last night reported to be in a critical condition in Hawke’s Bay Hospital.

Aid for Iraq New Zealand will send $500,000 to help refugees displaced by violence in Iraq, says Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully.

Mr McCully yesterday announced New Zealand would provide $500,000 to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to help those displaced by fighting in Iraq. The money would provide urgently needed supplies such as family tents, mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits and water containers for those in need, he said. “An estimated 500,000 people have been forced from their homes in recent days due to advances by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.”

■ NUMBER PLATE THEFT

Owner wants stolen number plate sent back

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Rarotongan business owner Clem Fortes is prepared to drop a police complaint against a Mid Canterbury man and his friend who took his number plate, but only if it is sent back.

The unauthorised taking of the personalised DABOSS number plate, which was on the rear of Mr Fortes’ wife’s ute, has sparked a media frenzy and a national witch hunt to track down thieves Jeremy Campion, who works in Methven, and his partner in the act Chris Hanley, of Blenheim, who posted photos of themselves on Facebook with the prized plate after stealing it on Saturday while holidaying on the island.

The duo have since apologised

for the misdemeanor, and have said they would send it back to Mr Fortes although he was yet to have that message relayed to him.

“They Facebook messaged my wife Vicki and apologised for what’s happened, they said it was a stupid thing to do and they had a few too many drinks and regret it after all the publicity,” the convenience store owner said.

“They have offered to buy new plates which would cost $300 but we have said no we want the old plate back ... if we get it back I’m prepared to drop the case.

“I have made a complaint to police just to make it all official.”

Mr Fortes believed the pair posted the plate to Blenheim, where Mr Hanley lives, before they returned home to avoid air-

port security.

However, Mr Fortes said his generosity may not be enough for the Methven dairy farmer and his friend, pointing out other

number plates that featured in the original photo.

“Maybe your community can help by nudging them a little bit, it’s not a good look for Kiwi

tourists.” Rarotongan police are investigating the complaint and are considering the help of New Zealand Police, however Ashburton police sergeant Bryan Ennis said the station was yet to be contacted by Interpol.

Mr Hanley said he had told Mr Fortes the number plate would be sent back once it arrived at his Blenheim home and he had also spoken with Rarotongan police.

He said it was intended to be light-hearted and he was looking forward to the publicity surrounding the case blowing over, although “we are prepared to take it on the chin now the police are involved because we were in the wrong”.

■ ASHBURTON MUSICIAN

Young country singer hopes for help to record CD By erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Musician Liam Kennedy-Clark is about to record his first album.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Ashburton’s up-and-coming country singing sensation Liam Kennedy-Clark is about to start work on his first CD. The 16-year-old Ashburton College student will head to Christchurch’s Quicksand Studios next month to spend a week recording his album – set to feature around six original songs and a couple of covers.

But he needs help to make his dream of making his first CD a reality.

Making a record doesn’t come cheap.

While Liam has worked hard and saved up most of the money required, he’s hoping his fans might dig into their pockets to support him too.

Last night he launched a fundraising campaign on the website Pledge Me where people can donate towards his goal of raising $5000. His campaign will run for a month and any pledges made will not come off pledgers’ credit cards until that time is up. There’s

a catch for Liam though – to get that money and for any of the pledges to go through he has to reach the $5000 goal.

For months now he’s had people asking if they can have his CD, and he hasn’t had one, so he’s hoping that’s a good sign that people will get in behind him.

Liam has been performing for many years now and some of the highlights so far include winning the intermediate overall title at the 2013 New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards, and winning the Junior Aristocrat Entertainer of the Year title at Australia’s Tamworth Country Festival this year.

To make a pledge or find out more, head online to https://www.pledgeme. co.nz/projects/2236. Pledges come with perks, with certain monetary values earning supporters the right to everything from a personal thank you from Liam, to a full concert with Liam and his band.

“Who knew that chimney smoke is really just firewood that hasn’t burned completely. What a waste.”

The truth is, except for brief periods, no smoke should be visible from your chimney. I had to learn how to do it, and it takes some effort, but now I just see a heat haze coming from the chimney. It’s worth it – I now use my firewood to heat my home, not annoy my neighbours and pollute the air.

Come on, become an expert like me.

Every chimney makes a difference to our air quality and with a bit of effort we can all stop wasting our firewood and clean up our air. Visit the website or facebook page today.

■ LYE FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST

Jackets and shoes offered

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Needy Ashburton families struggling to afford shoes and jackets for their children this winter are being given a leg up thanks to another initiative in local schools.

Netherby School has been one of the first to take on the scheme launched by the Lye Family Charitable Trust this month, extending a helping hand to up to 30 families enrolled at the school.

Other Ashburton schools are to get on board seeing them offer Number 1 Shoe Warehouse and The Warehouse vouchers to purchase black school shoes and coats respectively.

Netherby School principal Andrew Leverton said there was always going to be families who struggled to make ends meet, and that sometimes meant items such as shoes and jackets slipped down the priority list.

However, covering the cost

would free up cash for other essentials, he said.

“Their feet are dry, they are warm and not getting wet coming into school which means they will be comfortable when they get to school,” Mr Leverton said.

The initiative is the latest in a series of schemes targeted at needy Ashburton children, including the Coats for Kids campaign, the Ashburton Fruit Fund, a homework hub established for at-risk youngsters

and a local school which began opening its doors at 7.45am where children can get breakfast and shelter from the cold.

Lye Family Charitable Trust partner Simon Lye said the initiative would continue to evolve, and there was no time frame or budget in mind.

Mr Lye, the general manager at Mitre 10 Mega Ashburton, said it was time for the company to give back to the community, and he hoped several more schools would get onboard.

Oscar Programme marks 10th anniversary

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

When Paula Restieaux took on a temporary role to get the Ashburton Borough Oscar Programme up and running, she never would have thought a decade later she would be organising its anniversary celebrations.

It was a phone call from principal Sam Winterbourn during the 2004 April school holidays asking if she would supervise the programme, which was then deemed a trial with three kids enrolled, that kick-started her into the role.

She took it on and never looked back, watching its need swell to 30 children who she helps with homework and entertains every day after school and during holidays.

Yesterday, Ms Restieaux joined two other supervisors and Oscar youngsters for a large afternoon spread, including a 10th birthday cake, to mark the milestone.

“It was started because there was a need for it, and the programme has just grown from strength to strength since then,” she said.

In brief Matariki celebrations The Hakatere Marae community celebrates Matariki, or Maori New Year, today with a pot luck tea at the marae. It was open to anyone to attend. The official date for Matariki was next week but Hakatere Marae community planned to celebrate their event with traditional values in a modern twist. The celebrations would include a pot luck tea instead of a hangi meal and people were asked to bring a dish to share with others. Karaoke was also planned.

In early times Matariki was used to celebrate the harvest and prepare the ground for the coming year, it was also a time to pass on traditions to others. The celebrations at Hakatere Marae, State highway 1, Fairton start at 5pm.

Supervision for assault Former Manu Samoa captain Brian Lima will not face jail time following a public assault on his ex-wife. The 42-year-old appeared in the Supreme Court in Apia, Samoa, yesterday and was sentenced to two years’ supervision. Earlier this month, Lima – a popular rugby hero in the island nation – was found guilty of three charges: causing grievous bodily harm, being armed with a dangerous weapon and using threatening words. The charges came after Lima attacked his former wife, Lemalu Sina Retzlaff, Yesterday Ms Retzlaff – the mother of Lima’s three young sons – asked the judge to be lenient on her former husband.

As well as more children, the programme now has access to more equipment and just recently created its own Facebook page.

As the demand for parents to

work longer hours increased, more pupils continued to enrol.

Ashburton Borough principal Sam Winterbourn said the programme was formed due to a perceived need, and it had

grown to become self-funded.

The Ashburton Borough Oscar programme runs every day after school from 3pm to 5.30pm and during school holidays from 8.30am to 5.30pm.

Emergency services responding to calls that a plane had crashed in North Canterbury yesterday have discovered it was a Google wifi balloon. Police, St John ambulance, a Westpac Rescue Helicopter and a lifeboat were scrambled to the scene after a call from a member of the public. They were sent to a remote location near Nape Nape, east of Cheviot. Police also received reports of a Google wifi balloon going down in the area around the same time. Officers on the scene confirmed that it was in fact a balloon. The balloons carry wifi connections for people in remote locations to get a high speed internet connection. - APNZ

■ MASSEY FIRE MYSTERY

Man dead, woman injured

By Patrice Dougan A woman was left with serious head injuries and a man was found dead after a house fire followed a domestic incident in west Auckland yesterday morning.

The circumstances of the man’s death and the cause of the fire are not yet known, but the woman was last night in a stable condition in Auckland Hospital.

Shortly before 9am, emergency services were called to the property on Makora Rd, Massey, after a neighbour re-

ported a woman had been assaulted by a man.

It was followed by reports of an explosion from the house, which sparked a fire.

The woman, aged in her mid40s and of Chinese descent, fled to a neighbour’s house following the assault.

Firefighters tackling the blaze found a man’s body in the downstairs garage of the house. He was also aged in his 40s and of Chinese descent, police said.

“At this point we believe the incident is domestic-related.

The body in a lower part of

the address is the male partner of the female who was assaulted,” detective senior sergeant James Bothamley said.

“At this point in time we are not seeking anybody else in relation to this incident.”

It is believed a number of painting supplies and other flammable materials provided fuel to the fire, but it was not yet known how it started, Mr Bothamley said.

“Fire scenes are notoriously complex to investigate and it will be some time before we know exactly what took place in the lower part of the house.”

The circumstances surrounding the man’s death were still unknown.

“At this stage what we have is a body in a garage and we’re still investigating it.”

The pair lived at the property where the fire took place and are believed to have adult children from previous relationships.

Police had received no previous calls for domestic-related incidents to the address, Mr Bothamley said.

However, one neighbour spoke of hearing “a bit of a fracas” a few days ago. - APNZ

In brief Community directory The Ashburton District Community Directory is being updated by staff at Community House Mid Canterbury. The booklet, listing community sports clubs and organisations, was available online at www.communityhousemc.co.nz Community House Mid Canterbury manager Kathryn Barr said the council no longer wanted the cost associated with printing hardcopies of the directory and Community House had offered to take over the role. Ms Barr said any organisations or sports groups that wanted to be included or have details changed and updated could contact her at community house via email or phone. The 108 page directory can be viewed online through Community House Mid Canterbury’s website www. communityhousemc.co.nz There were forms with the booklet to allow people to update groups’ details. She said they would look at printing hardcopies of the directory later in the year once funding was secured. Anyone with changes to the directory can email Ms Barr at chmc.ash@xtra.co.nz or on 03 308 1237.

Shortest day today It may be the shortest day of the year today, but sunshine will not be in short supply. Today’s winter solstice will bring only nine hours of daylight across the country, more than five hours less than at the height of summer.

Students taking care of the environment Longbeach School students are looking after the environment. They’ve been working with Brent Holley from Mastagard Education to set up compost bins as well as getting their community on board by keeping the community recycling depot next door tidy and making sure it all gets taken to the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park for safe disposal.

■ CYCLONE ITA AFTERMATH

Go ahead given to log felled trees

By Laura MiLLs Parliament will be asked to pass urgent legislation to enable the recovery of native timber blown over in Cyclone Ita on West Coast public conservation land over the next five years, Conservation Minister Nick Smith announced yesterday.

“This initiative will provide welcome jobs and economic opportunities for the West Coast at a difficult time, and will provide a financial return to DOC that can be reinvested in conservation work,” Dr Smith

said. Cyclone Ita hit on April 17 and caused the worst windfall damage in generations, felling an estimated 20,000ha of forest and causing significant damage to a further 200,000ha of forest.

The West Coast Windblown Timber (Conservation Lands) Bill confines the recovery of useable wood to areas affected

by Cyclone Ita and specifically excludes World Heritage Areas, national parks, ecological areas and the white heron sanctuary reserve, at Whataroa.

Authorisations will only be issued where DOC is satisfied

it will be safe for workers and the public, and minimises environmental impacts.

The recovery of timber is limited until July 1, 2019, when the bill expires. All revenue from royalties will go to DOC. A law change is needed because the current Conservation Act makes no provision for timber recovery after an extreme event.

The bill will be introduced and passed by Parliament next week, before the beech, in particular, deteriorates with sap stain and borer.

Dr Smith said he had the

backing of United Future and the Maori Party.

He said it was not possible to estimate the volume and value of timber to be extracted because the safety and environmental constraints may require high cost options such as the use of helicopters.

Dr Smith said it may be appropriate to consider a permanent change to the Conservation Act to enable windblown timber in these sorts of situations to be recovered in future, but he was reluctant to do so with urgent legislation.

Police have been ordered to release details on disciplinary action taken after an officer was allegedly involved in a punch-up six years ago. The Otago Daily Times understands an off-duty senior officer is alleged to have assaulted a female officer and then seriously assaulted a male officer following a police rugby trip to Invercargill in 2008. Sources confirmed the Dunedin-based officer faced internal disciplinary proceedings and was demoted from the rank of detective sergeant to constable. The Otago Daily Times made a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman on August 28, 2009.

The almost five-year appeal ended this month when the Ombudsman ruled police must issue a summary.

Police now have 21 days to comply.

A police spokesman confirmed the organisation would “comply with the Ombudsman’s recommendation”.

Truck down hill A truck plunged down a hillside so steep that a winch had to hold the vehicle in place before rescuers could free the man trapped inside yesterday. The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 63-year-old Alexandra man, was airlifted to Dunedin Hospital with serious injuries after being trapped for about an hour and a-half.

Senior Constable John Clark, of Alexandra, said the truck left Little Valley Rd, and travelled about 40 to 50 metres down a bank before landing in an old water race. The stretch of road where the crash happened passes through rocky terrain near Alexandra’s clock on the hill.

■ MASTERTON POLICE

Police say sorry to jail victim

By Cherie Taylor Police have made an unreserved apology to a Masterton man who spent two days in custody after his partner made a false complaint and he was arrested on domestic violence charges.

Now his partner will face charges of wasting police time by making a false complaint.

Nerehana Tetahi Wall, 24, originally appeared in Masterton District Court last Tuesday charged with breach of a

protection order and was denied bail as he protested his innocence, telling police and the court he had been living with his partner for months without incident.

He was back in court on Thursday before Judge Tony Walsh where police formally apologised and withdrew the charge.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Garry Wilson said the woman claimed Mr Wall had tracked her down whenever she moved and she returned home last

weekend to find him inside her home.

“She said she was too scared to ask him to leave so approached police.”

However, Mr Wall was adamant they had been living together there for some time.

Following a number of enquires police confirmed he was telling the truth, Mr Wilson said. She had given false information because she was on a sole-parent benefit and didn’t want to be caught, the sergeant told the court.

“He has spent two days in custody ... we can only apologise for believing what she said which was untrue ... he protested it was a false allegation because she was on the DPB.” Work and Income would be notified by police about her domestic position and the woman interviewed and charged in regard to the false complaint, he said.

Outside court Mr Wilson said they were disappointed to find the woman had lied.

In brief Blast reports Reports of an explosion in Manukau came from a car wrecking yard in Wiri, the Fire Service said. Fire crews were called to the yard about 8.15pm after reports of an explosion. A fire communications spokesman said that could have been caused by an LPG cylinder or petrol in a vehicle being crushed. There was no fire at the yard and no one was injured.

- APNZ

Prototype put to test A prototype vehicle that’s half fire engine and half ambulance has been put through its final paces in Rotorua. The dual purpose fire and medical response vehicle was launched at the Fire Service National Training Centre in Rotorua yesterday, with firefighters demonstrating scenarios of a man collapsed in a car as well as a burning building. Developed by the New Zealand Fire Service and St John, the vehicle is designed for use in rural and remote communities where brigades also provide a medical first response service. It will allow firefighters to get patients up off the ground and into a safer, more clinical environment while early treatment is being provided until an ambulance arrives. The rear of the vehicle is set up like an ambulance with a clinical space containing a stretcher and medical equipment.

The front carries the same firefighting gear as the smallest type of fire engine.

About 45,000 people will inject an estimated $57 million into the Queenstown economy over the next 10 days during the 2014 Queenstown Winter Festival, opened with a bang last night.

A flaming “40”, honouring the festival’s anniversary, lit up the sky over Lake Wakatipu and Earnslaw Park at the end of a nearly 10-minute fireworks display, which drew gasps and cheers from the tens of thousands of people who converged on the CBD to take in the sights, sounds and tastes of the southern hemisphere’s biggest winter party. Immediately following the display New Zealand band the Exponents took to the stage performing some of the most-loved songs.

■ HEALTHCARE SYSTEM REPORT

Mixed results for NZ

BY MOHAMED HASSAN The New Zealand healthcare system is one of the most effective in the world, according to a recent study.

Research by the US-based Commonwealth Fund found the effectiveness of healthcare in New Zealand ranked second out of 11 OECD countries surveyed.

The report compared the healthcare systems in New Zealand, Australia, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

New Zealand was ranked second in health co-ordination, which measures

how well information is passed between medical specialists, and follow-ups with patients.

However, the report also found that equity of healthcare in New Zealand was the second worst in the OECD, and low-income earners believed they did not have the same access to good healthcare as higher earners.

According to the report’s figures, New Zealand spent $3182 per capita on healthcare in 2011, lower than any other country in the OECD. The UK’s health system was ranked highest, and $3405 was spent per capita.

The US spent $8505 but ranked lowest.

That’s what mates are for ...

W

hen a friend wrote a letter to their school principal about him, Thomas Patrick was stunned.

But it was a good stunned.

Jack Middleton’s letter was a sweet and thoughtful gesture, all about helping a friend in need.

Thomas has a rare kidney disease which will soon require him to undergo a kidney transplant. It’s been a long journey already and one which he has had no problem telling everyone about, including his classmates in room six at Tinwald School.

Thomas’ story is one that has touched many hearts, those young classmates included.

They’ve seen the impact it’s had on Thomas and the time it’s meant he’s had to spend away from school, and they know that when he does get his new kidney, they won’t see him for a while. Thomas will spend six to eight weeks in Auckland’s Starship Hospital when he receives his new kidney.

Jack decided he wanted to do something to help, so the eight-year-old put pen to paper.

He wrote a letter to Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone asking if the school could hold a mufti day to raise money for Thomas, so that they could buy something special.

Mr Livingstone was touched by the gesture and quickly jumped on board. But yesterday soon became more than just a mufti day.

Kids did wear mufti and each brought along a donation – raising $842.70 which was presented to Thomas’ mum Amanda – but the Ashburton Kidney Society also came along and presented Thomas with a new iPad to help him pass the time when he’s in hospital.

The presentations – made at a special assembly yesterday morning - were much appreciated by the family, with many a tear wiped from eyes among parents there to lend their support to the Patrick family.

Thomas’ mum Amanda is proud of her bright-eyed, blonde haired son. He’s been through a lot and has a lot more in front of him, but he takes it all in his stride.

Thomas has cystinosis, a kidney disease which means his kidneys don’t break down protein, causing little crystals to form. It’s so rare it’s believed there’s only four cases in New Zealand.

It also affects his eyes, but for Thomas the kidney function is the main concern and without a transplant, his outlook isn’t good, Amanda said.

The transplant is likely to take place late this year, or early

Yesterday was all about Thomas Patrick at Tinwald School, and he loved it. He got to sit up the front in assembly, he got gifts and, as usual, he was giving his principal a bit of grief. Erin Tasker reports.

next year, and the replacement kidney is hopefully coming from his dad, Brendon.

Thomas was diagnosed with the disease a year and a half ago. He’s on a lot of medication, needs a lot of blood tests and eye exams.

“He’s got lots of spunk about him, which is probably a good thing,” Amanda said.

She describes her son as a cheeky little monkey who loves being the centre of attention.

So yesterday was like hitting the jackpot for him. He got to sit up in the front of the assembly – with Jack and Mr Livingstone – he got presents and he was given the role of chief timekeeper during a special

competition held among some of his fellow students.

That competition was a kidney bean eating competition aimed at raising awareness of kidney disease and the fact that after his transplant, Thomas will have three kidneys. The bad kidney isn’t taken out, it’s left inside, something that many people didn’t realise.

Yesterday was a big day for Jack – it took him quite some time to work out what he was going to wear to his mufti day – but how the day came about wasn’t forgotten.

Thomas said he couldn’t believe it when he heard about the letter Jack had written.

“I just felt stunned,” Jack said.

“He just said to me ‘mum, I’m stunned, I’m just stunned’. He was just overjoyed,” Amanda said.

For Jack, it was simply a way he could help a friend in need and just like Thomas, he wasn’t fazed by all the attention they received yesterday.

Amanda said Thomas was a sporty kid before his diagnosis and he still loved sport. It’s hoped after his transplant he’ll be able to get back to the things he loves, like rugby.

“It will be really great to get him happy and healthy again, and feeling like a normal eightyear-old should,” she said.

Environment Canterbury in Ashburton “If I can learn the art of a smoke free chimney and stop wasting my firewood, then you can too.” facebook.com/moreheatnosmoke

Keeping Ashburton’s winter air clean Environment Canterbury has offered the Ashburton wood burning community a challenge – burn better with no smoke (most of the time) to help clean up the air in Ashburton.

“If you have a wood burner, we need your help to clean up the air so we are asking you to learn the art of starting and maintaining a clean burning fire and to share your tips with others through our Facebook page, facebook.com/moreheatnosmoke.

Commissioner David Bedford says Environment Canterbury is responsible for managing air quality across the region and the aim is for everyone to have clean, healthy air.

“We are also continuing to work with developers and manufacturers to encourage them to develop an ultra-low emission burner which will make reducing air pollution much easier in the longer term.

“Nobody wants to breathe polluted air,’’ he says. “The Government has set national air quality targets to ensure everyone has access to clean air which supports having a healthy community. In Ashburton the target is to have three high pollution nights by 2016 and one by 2020. However, we still have a winter-time air quality problem so we need everyone’s help.

“It is possible to operate your wood burner so that there is no visible smoke coming from the chimney. But it does take more effort and many wood burner users need to learn the craft of lighting and maintaining a hot-burning fire.

David Bedford says “One of the other the ways we are working to address air quality is a review of the current Air Plan which identifies the activities that we as a community have agreed can and can’t be done.

“During the past 10 years many people have played their part to clean up the air in Ashburton. As a result air quality has improved significantly and the number of high pollution nights has come down from 21 in 2000 to four in 2013.

“However, the current air plan has been in place since 2002. A lot has changed since then, so we have been reviewing the plan.

“We have also been consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including district councils, health boards and industry to find out what they consider is important and have tried to reflect these views in our review.’’

One of the issues the Ashburton community has raised is outdoor and stubble burning. The Air Plan review looks at air pollution not just from home heating, but also from industry, rural burning and nuisance such as dust and odour. It proposes ways all sectors of the community can help play their part.

“We recognise that issues such as rural burning are important to the Ashburton community and we are asking the community to consider the proposed changes outlined in the Air Plan Review Discussion Document and flyer and give us their feedback on how we should best address these issues.”

Copies of the flyer have been delivered to homes in Canterbury and the discussion document can be found at ecan.govt.nz/airplan-review or from Customer Services on 0800 324 636.

Hinds Drain working party A working party to look at the sensitive coastal drainage area in the Ashburton zone has been formed.

Donna Field, Chair of the Ashburton Zone Committee, says the working party is part of the work to address nutrient loads and improve water quality in the Hinds Plains area.

The working party consists of three zone committee members and four farmers as well as representatives from Arowhenua, Fish and Game, Department of Conservation and Forest and Bird.

For more information • Ashburton Zone committee recommendations on the working party - visit www.ecan.govt.nz and search for: “Hinds Plains ZIP Addendum”.

• Hinds Plains Plan technical information – search the website for “Hinds Plains Plan”.

Healthy Economy Up to 30,000 ha new irrigation $104 million GDP 232 new jobs

Local farmer Peter Lowe (elected chair) sees the working party as a great opportunity for the local community to contribute their knowledge and experience of the drains in the lower Hinds.

“We know the water bodies have changed. We are looking forward to working alongside Arowhenua, Fish and Game, Forest and Bird and the Department of Conservation to improve the ability of the drains to support freshwater ecosystems and retain their drainage capability,” he says.

Donna Field believes the working party has the ability to find better ways of managing the drain network to deliver some of the values the old swamp had, while still maintaining their drainage capability and farming viability.

“It is a formidable challenge but one I am confident members of the working party are up for, as the lower Hinds is one of the most productive farming regions in New Zealand,” she says.

The Hinds Drains Working Party is taking a field trip on June 20 and will meet monthly on Friday afternoons, and is due to deliver its recommendations by December 2015 to the zone committee.

■ DONGHUA LIU SCANDAL

Millionaire ‘gave to both sides’

By Jared Savage Millionaire businessman Donghua Liu has confirmed for the first time that he donated to the Labour Party.

The 53-year-old has been at the centre of political scandals involving National and Labour for months but yesterday broke his silence to say he had given “equally to Governments of both colours”.

National declared a $22,000 donation in 2012, but Labour found no records of Liu donations after the New Zealand Herald revealed he paid $15,000 for a book at an auc-

tion fundraiser in 2007.

There is also a photograph of his partner receiving a bottle of wine from a Labour minister at an auction.

“Any political donations have always been given in good faith without any expectation.

“It is over to the politicians to make any appropriate declarations,” Liu said in a statement.

“However, because I’ve built relationships with politicians, made donations, because it’s election year and dare I say because I’m Chinese, I suppose I’ve been an easy target for some to gain some political mileage and score some points.”

Investigations have shown Liu forged links with MPs from both sides of the political spectrum.

He was granted citizenship in 2010 after support from National minister Maurice Williamson and John Banks, the Auckland mayor at the time, as well as having personal meetings with Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse to lobby him about changing rules for wealthy immigrants.

Mr Williamson resigned from his ministerial portfolios after the paper revealed he phoned senior police about a prosecution involving Liu.

This week, Labour has come under fire for the undeclared donations, and party leader David Cunliffe has fought to save his job after it was revealed he wrote a letter for Liu’s residency, despite previous denials.

Another Labour minister, Damien O’Connor, approved the residency against official advice the day before the 2005 election.

The events had left Liu feeling “like a bit of a political football” and that media had “treated me as some opportunistic foreigner who is only here to make money and throw his weight around”. - APNZ

■ JENNIAN HOMES’ WINTER CHALLENGE

Braving the elements in mid-winter dip It was cold, but that didn’t stop the crew from Jennian Homes from going for a mid-winter dip yesterday. Staff from both Ashburton and Christchurch took part in their annual winter challenge, which involved launching a boat at Lake Hood and going for a quick water ski, ride on a biscuit and a jet ski – activities more common during the summer months. The challenge was to see how many staff were brave enough to take the challenge, but mostly it was about having a bit of fun. One of those who did brave the cold yesterday by going for a jet-ski was Jennian Homes’ director Nigel Smith.

Bought for £100, cottage tipped to fetch $900k A tiny, almost untouched 100-year-old Auckland cottage with its original toilet and bath still under the house will likely sell for close to $1 million, despite needing major renovation.

Sisters Rehutai Gundry, 90, and Fay Gundry, 88, lived at the two-bedroom home all their lives until recently moving into a resthome.

Their brother Ian Squire, who is selling the 80sq m property at 66 Palmerston Rd, said they are thought to have been one of the first Maori families in the Birkenhead Point area.

The house, built as a working man’s cottage for the nearby Chelsea Sugar Refinery, featured in local history books A History of New Zealand Architecture in 1991 and Birkenhead: The Way We Were in 1993 because it was the only house in the area in its original state.

Until three years ago, the house did not have an inside toilet or shower.

The original toilet under the house is still in place, as is a tin tub which was used for once-a-week baths and cleaning clothes.

Mr Squire said he used to bathe in water after his five other family members had used it.

The small kitchen is also mostly original, apart from a bench installed in the 1960s.

“I fought with them when I was young to get electricity, telephone, fridge, all those things,” Mr Squire said.

The property is heritagelisted, so the new buyer would need to keep the character.

“Birkenhead, which is soughtafter now, was mainly poor, working class people so it was a very different world,” Mr Squire said.

Extraordinary footage of New J

ust like a lizard or grasshopper may have been hiding behind a rock, Rod Morris was trying to stay in the background at the opening of a recent photography competition exhibition in Methven.

The renowned natural history photographer from Dunedin did not have much success though.

He was the one who had judged the awards, so at some stage had to come out into the limelight and announce the winners.

“I stayed in the background in case there were some angry photographers,” he explained when it came time to announce the awards, at a gathering at the Methven Heritage Centre Friday last week.

The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand Ashburton Branch Biodiversity Photographic Competition was held for the first time this year.

Mr Morris explained that the 113 entries submitted had been of such high quality, it had been difficult to narrow numbers down into about 40 to be exhibited, including honours placegetters and a winner and runner-up.

His nervousness at how his decision might be received was not helped by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay being among those at the gathering. The mayor officially opened the exhibition.

“For a while I thought what if the mayor had put something in, I didn’t know who had submitted entries.”

That anonymous judging process resulted in Mr Morris choosing a photograph of three South Island pied oyster catchers, in flight at upper Rangitata, taken by Peter Langlands, as the winning image.

“They form a beautiful triangle because of their position, there’s sufficient space around them so we get a beautiful sense of their position in the environment. I just love that shot,” Mr Morris said.

“I thought – wow, somebody has spent a lot of time with oyster catchers,” he added, and asked Mr Langlands how many pictures he had taken of the birds. “Maybe about 15,000,” Mr Langlands replied.

Mr Morris was just as taken by the photo he named runnerup. It was a scree skink at Heron Basin, shot by Don Geddes. He believed the 26cm-long skink would have been a female, probably fatter than usual as she may have been soon to give birth to live young.

She had positioned herself at a 45 degree angle to the sun in order to be able to soak up as much ultraviolet energy as possible.

“She’s a survivor, she’s not had her tail gnawed off, or doesn’t have bite marks,” he said, ex-

Six years of living in the Mid Canterbury high country and 15,000 photographs of one bird species resulted in a photography competition win for Peter Langlands. The competition entries are now on display in Methven. Susan Sandys reports.

plaining the reptiles often fell victim to rats and other pests as they slept under rocks at night.

“It’s a remarkable shot of a remarkable animal by a remarkable photographer.”

Mr Morris waxed lyrical on further images, including that

of an endemic leaf slug taken at Three Creeks.

“Sadly we see less and less of these, it’s big and soft and juicy, and a rat would just roll around laughing before killing it,” Mr Morris said.

The photographer Suzanne Churchward explained she had taken the photo at the back of Winterslow on a misty morning.

A photo of endemic mountain buttercup by Elspeth Jaine included the delightful detail of petals with grasshopper nibble

bite marks.

“There’s a whole story about survival on a scree slope going on there,” Mr Morris said.

about 10 of the birds visited New Zealand each year. This had also been taken by Mr Langlands, who explained he had been alerted to the presence of the bird in the area after hearing its call.

The large range of photos included an unnamed weta, a New Zealand falcon, New Zealand grasshopper, vegetable sheep, kea, hybrid and black and pied stilt and endemic tussock butterfly.

“Some of us love our landscapes and our wildlife and we are very good photographers because of that,” Mr Morris said. “Nature photography can be very difficult, wildlife doesn’t co-operate with us, they are not going to shift a little bit to the left or the right.”

Mr Langlands later confirmed as accurate the 15,000 figure he had given for the number of photos of oyster catchers he had taken. The three birds in the

winning shot were likely forming a “love triangle” with one mating pair having been ambushed by a hopeful female.

Mr Langlands had been working in the Upper Rangitata since 2008, researching the breeding success of wrybill plovers and pied oyster catchers, staying in a former school house at Mesopotamia Station.

For the first three years he was undertaking contracted work for the Department of Conservation, while latterly he had been employed by Contact Energy relating to North Island wind farm mitigation research.

“I have had to live up there six years so it’s been a total immersion in the environment,” Mr Langlands said.

The research was now complete, but he still did some jobs for DOC and continued with his other passion of trout fishing there.

“The background of my office

is like the film set of Lord of the Rings,” he said.

Forest and Bird national executive member Ines Stager read a statement on behalf of the organisation’s chief executive Hone McGregor at the opening.

Mr McGregor acknowledged Ashburton branch member Val Clemens as having come up with the “great idea” of marking the organisation’s 90th anniversary with the exhibition.

“I have seen some of the photos and they are quite extraordinary.

“There would be few people who would not agree to the need to better protect New Zealand’s natural heritage, after having seen these images,” Mr McGregor said.

The competition exhibition at the Methven Heritage Centre runs to June 27 and will also be displayed at the Ashburton Arcade from July 1 to 11.

Barrett likely to stay

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY As Aaron Cruden prepared this week to start his third test in a row, a familiar thought might have struck - how he fits into the All Blacks puzzle behind Dan Carter.

Carter’s return is gathering momentum. This afternoon he is scheduled to again represent Southbridge, and, if his Achilles permits, he will be Steve Hansen’s starting first-five for the first Rugby Championship test against Australia on August 16. If so, Cruden might be lucky to make the match-day squad, and that’s not a criticism of his form or ability, but purely about what his other rival for the No10 jersey, Beauden Barrett, provides.

Barrett, who might have started at first-five had centre Conrad Smith not broken his thumb in Dunedin, could be a victim of his utility and impact value - he has yet to start at No10 for the All Blacks - but that’s what will probably keep him in the frame when Carter returns.

He not only provides cover for fullback, he has an uncanny ability to make things happen as a replacement. As Hansen admitted this week, Barrett’s surprising power and pace are a torment for tiring defenders.

“He’s been a fantastic player off the bench for us,” Hansen said of the Hurricanes player.

“If you think about all the tests where he’s come on, he’s made a difference. I’m not sure that Crudes is that type of player, either. I think he’s more of a starting five-eighth..”

Cruden hasn’t been at his best so far in this England series.

The rhythm hasn’t quite been there after his long layoff with a thumb injury, but he showed enough in Dunedin to prove he deserves to continue being the first-choice first-five in Carter’s absence. It was his pace and pass which put Julian Savea away down the left for Ben Smith’s try to enable the All Blacks to take the lead after what was a challenging first half for the home side.

Cruden, who has played 31 tests and led the Chiefs to two Super Rugby titles, has the experience to grab any fleeting opportunity with both hands.

Once tonight’s test is over, though, it could be Barrett who has more of a chance as the All Blacks set their sights on continuing their unbeaten Rugby Championship run.

■ RUGBY

Clean sweep ‘vital’ Kris Shannon identifies the five things we must see from the All Blacks before the June window slams shut tonight.

Foot on the throat

Much has been made this week about the potential for a psychological boost ahead of next year’s World Cup; that a comprehensive clean sweep would portend good things for the All Blacks’ title defence in England.

Steve Hansen refuted such a narrative, issuing a reminder that the 2007 side thrashed France twice, by a combined score of 103-21, before losing “the one that mattered”.

In saying that, though, a dominant win tonight – the two sides’ penultimate clash ahead of the World Cup – would achieve twin goals: dissuading any dissenters from thinking this side is a fading force, and ensuring the All Blacks enjoy happy flashbacks when they next see the English rose. Neither of those accomplishments can be a bad thing, while prolonging an historic winning run would also instil in the minds of the rest of the Rugby Championship the much-desired fear factor about travelling to these shores.

“I’ve thought a lot about how far away we are from being the side we want to be,” Hansen says, “and we’ve got four or five more steps we can take to be back to where we can be.

That’s been our focus – trying to really lift our performance to a level that we can really be proud of.”

their peak, the world champions will never allow that kind of revival, preventing close encounters by piling on more points.

That will be a goal at Waikato Stadium – extending the third quarter effort in Dunedin across the entire match to warn future foes that poor patches from the All Blacks are unlikely.

“It would be good if we had four [quality quarters],” Hansen says. “That’s about having the energy to play the game at high speed and high intensity for 80 minutes.”

Strength under high ball Basic mistakes have plagued the All Blacks’ attack throughout this series, with drops curtailing dangerous passages of play before the team

Full 80-minute effort

It’s no secret the All Blacks have been slow starters in this series. England have been able to catch their opposition off guard from the get go and stake themselves to leads in both games’ nascent stages. While the All Blacks have managed to haul in the English and take the two tests, an early deficit will prove far more difficult to overcome at Ellis Park, or on the end-ofyear tour.

“We’re poor starters,” says Hansen. “We haven’t quite got it right, so maybe we’re either over-aroused or underaroused.”

That arousal levels also waned in the final 20 minutes of the second test, allowing England to pull within one. When playing at

could reap reward. But one area in which handling errors were worryingly prevalent was before those passages even begun.

Leading up to the first test, Hansen thought having a back three featuring a trio of fullbacks would render the high ball a real strength. It hardly went according to plan and, while a couple of notable takes from Ben Smith in Dunedin provided some respite, it was still far from flawless.

Stuart Lancaster says his side will attempt to avoid playing too much rugby at their end of the park tonight, leaving Hansen to conclude more kicking is on the way. That means the All Blacks need to find a solution

sides struggle to excel but Sam Whitelock feels those fortunes are on the verge of shifting.

“In Super Rugby, in general, the Africans have been the most dominant maulers,” he says.

“But I think that trend’s starting to change.

“If you look at some of the Australian sides, they’re starting to drive a lot more, and some of the New Zealand sides are doing that also. I think that’s flowed down to [the All Blacks] as well.

“It’s something that everyone’s got to work on – both the attacking maul and the defensive maul – but I think it’s an area we could definitely improve on.”

The All Blacks have had a first-hand look at where any enhancement could lead, with England’s sizeable pack finding consistent success in the driving maul across this series.

And to be the best you have to beat the best – a task which begins tonight.

A captain’s knock

The All Blacks’ loose forward trio, when firing and in full health, can really separate this side from the field. It will be satisfying to merely see Kieran Read take the paddock in Hamilton, while Jerome Kaino has rapidly regained something approaching top form.

In brief

Shield challenge looming

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

This weekend is the last chance audition for some players before Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore prepares to announce a squad for the build up to the Ranfurly Shield Challenge.

The challenge against holders Counties in Pukekohe is under three weeks away, and Moore is reducing the squad to begin working on some more match-specific aspects ahead of a warm-up match against Ellesmere on July 2.

With Rakaia hosting Methven and Southern at home to Hampstead, there are essentially two trial matches for the coaching staff to take in, as well as Celtic playing at home to Saracens.

Moore has already had plenty of opportunity to see them in action but for some today’s games could determine whether they board the plane to Auckland or watch from their living room.

“We had a session mid-week with a few of the regulars missing, but we still had 30 players there.

“We will be cutting it down to 26 or 27 as some guys might be unavailable for the Ellesmere game so we need to cover for that.

An “increased depth” and having a few “guys banged up” will cause Moore some selection headaches but it is an ideal situation.

The squad is formed just for the Ranfurly Shield campaign, but will provide the building blocks for the Heartland Championship.

“Some of the areas we struggled with depth last year now have some competition and a bit more choice.

“It won’t be rocket science and should be a reasonably strong squad.”

Captain Jon Dampney will be the first name written down, and he will have some more big game experience to bring to the table after his run with the New Zealand Barbarians against the Highlanders last night.

Murray Williams is set to be back on deck at first five, and he is likely to be joined by fellow imports Peni Manumanuniwila and Willie McGoon, who have been rubbing shoulders with Dan Carter over in Southbridge.

There are question marks over a return of Dwayne Burrows after his move to Dunedin where he is reportedly on the fringe of making the Otago ITM Cup squad.

There have also been homecomings of former ITM Cup players to bolster the squad, with former Tasman Makos Gary Redmond and Brenton Connell at Methven, while former Northland Taniwha Scott Vessey is expected to return for the Watters Cup rounds.

Vessey is yet to pull on the boots on a Saturday and Redmond is an outside chance to play the shield match after re-

The Warriors are acutely aware the next few weeks’ results could play a role in determining how their season pans out.

Tonight’s clash against the Brisbane Broncos at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland is the first hurdle, but captain Simon Mannering admitted his side, sitting in 11th place on the NRL ladder, have targeted the next block of three home games as being vital to their hopes of securing a top-eight finish.

“It’s not hard to pick that one.

There’s three home games in a row and we’ve got to make the most of it,” Mannering said.

“The important thing now is for us to kick-on because we’re

Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis has begun her final preparations for Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games in Adelaide. Ellis finished fourth in the women’s Omnium at the Cycling Australia Grand Prix, just one point behind third.

She finished fourth in the flying lap, eighth in the points race, sixth in the elimination, second in the 3000m pursuit, fifth in the 1000m scratch and fifth in the time trial. Australian Isabella King came out on top of compatriot Elissa Wundersitz with China’s Li Huang third on 30 points, one ahead of Ellis. They had a rest day yesterday before another omnium today as she builds towards Glasgow at the end of July.

Freestyle motocross rider Levi Sherwood landed perfectly on his world tour debut and has been an international star since. Now he is well on the way to a careerbest season. The 22-year-old from Palmerston North won the opening rounds of the premier Red Bull X-Fighters series at Mexico City and Osaka, where his performance was described as flawless. An extreme sport sensation was born when Sherwood made his X-Fighters debut at Mexico in 2009. Sherwood is the best in the world at a sport most regard as outrageously scary, to put it mildly.

Riding the city streets is crazy enough, but hurtling through the air, treating your 100kg motorbike as a circus prop belongs on a different planet.

Rakaia fullback Andrew Letham and Methven prop Matt Groom are former Hammers imports who could earn recalls to the Mid Canterbury squad as local players, and there have

Warriors side under no illusions not sitting where we want to be at the halfway point but it’s all ahead of us. We need to make sure we move forward and these next few games are pretty important for us.”

Another home game against the Penrith Panthers looms in round 16, but the Warriors get another week off with their second bye in round 17.

They then host the Parramatta Eels in round 18, before packing their bags for a trip to Suncorp Stadium and a return clash with the Broncos on July 19.

come any easier,” Mannering said. “There are some tough opponents in those three games and we’ve just got to make sure we get our preparation better each week. It’s been a good start to this week so hopefully it will show on the weekend.”

Of more immediate focus is the need to produce a polished performance for the full 80 minutes against the fifthplaced Broncos, and ensure the second-half fade in their loss to South Sydney in Perth was a one-off.

Mannering said the team had been hurt by that late collapse but insisted it was a timely reminder of what improvement is required going forward.

“To go into that week off

with a performance like that didn’t feel very nice. We looked at the tape and there was a lot we could take out of that game from the first 60 minutes but the last 20 is something hopefully that we can learn from.”

Games between the Warriors and Broncos are often entertaining contests and Mannering expects another close tussle tonight.

“Anytime these two clubs play it’s always a good game. I don’t know if it’s the history from the first game for the Warriors or not but they always seem to be tough ones over the years.

“They’re really good games to be a part of and hopefully it’s another one on the weekend.”

Origin’s injury toll Plans to condense the State of Origin series and lessen its impact on the NRL competition will result in a major increase in player turnover, if this year’s horrific injury toll is anything to go by. yesterday, the full extent of Wednesday night’s carnage was confirmed, with North Queensland’s Brent Tate (ACL, season), fellow-Cowboy Matt Scott (cheekbone, six weeks) and Sydney Rooster Michael Jennings (arm, six weeks) the big-name casualties. In addition, Manly’s Anthony Watmough will miss four weeks through suspension and Canterbury halfback Trent Hodkinson is struggling with a leg cork. Players admit the intensity and brutality of Origin football has gone to a new level in 2014, and that’s been reflected in the high rate of injuries.

Toovey fires up Manly coach Geoff Toovey has taken aim at the NSW Rugby League for leaving the club stranded at Anthony Watmough’s judiciary hearing while they celebrated at the pub. Watmough was charged with a grade two dangerous throw charge in the Blues’ State of Origin triumph, and will now miss four matches. Toovey was left seething that no one from NSW even bothered to show up and support one of their players, particularly when it’s Manly who pay the price on the field and in the back pocket. “They couldn’t even tear themselves away from the pub for five minutes to come and support one of their players.

Very disappointing.”

The Brazilians went on the rampage as fans gathered to watch the EnglandUruguay game, which the South Americans won 2-1. Initial reports said the Brazilians had thrown Molotov cocktails or flares, but police spokesman Romulo Gabrette Lara said the projectiles were in fact relatively small firecrackers of the kind used at Brazil’s traditional June festivals.

World Cup before fame Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has called his skills a “gift from God”, but Mario Balotelli said achieving star status like Neymar or Lionel Messi plays second fiddle to helping Italy win the World Cup. AC Milan superstar Balotelli has been tipped to be one of the stars of his maiden World Cup after heading home the winner in a 2-1 victory against England in the side’s Group D opener last week. The former Manchester City striker said his focus is firmly on the Azzurri cause. “This World Cup is all about Italy, not Mario.

I’m not interested in being treated as a big star like Neymar or Messi. All that matters is what the team achieves,” Balotelli said to reporters yesterday.

No brotherly love here Brotherly love will be forgotten this morning when Germany’s Jerome Boateng faces his sibling once more at a World Cup, with Ghana’s Kevin-Prince Boateng predicting a “fight to the death”.

The half brothers were both born in Berlin to separate mothers, but in 2009, Schalke’s Kevin-Prince, 27, opted to play for the country of his father. He turned to Ghana having become discouraged by a perceived lack of opportunities even after the brothers had made a single appearance in the same Germany Under-21 team. The brothers normally have daily contact via SMS or telephone, but there has been radio silence as they prepared for the Fortaleza clash in Group G. - AFP

■ GROUP D

England’s defence ‘frail’ England are simply not good enough to compete against the best teams and are just too sloppy to pull off their new expansive approach, Britain’s press said yesterday.

Following a 2-1 defeat against Uruguay in Sao Paulo yesterday that left their World Cup hopes relying on other results, England have shown they cannot handle the pressure when faced with serious opposition, national newspapers said.

Wayne Rooney scored for Roy Hodgson’s England, between two emphatically-finished goals

by Uruguay’s Luis Suarez.

England’s loss came after their opening 2-1 defeat against Italy in Manaus and now their tournament in Brazil rests on Italy beating Uruguay and Costa Rica, and England beating the Central Americans by a sufficient scoreline to qualify from Group D. The Daily Mail said England’s defensive frailty had been their undoing, leaving the team unable to handle the World Cup pressure.

“Sloppy, intimidated, scared,” said the tabloid.

“England will need to be the first team in World Cup history to lose their opening two games and go through, if they are to qualify,” the tabloid said.

“It won’t happen, most likely, because there is no guarantee England can win, even against Costa Rica, with a defence that cannot be trusted, not even for five minutes.

“Suarez did the damage, but England were struggling for most of the game.

“Their performance had been stilted and blunt as the first against Italy was enterprising and zesty. Simply, they could not handle the pressure. Chanc-

es were wasted, tackles were missed, the defence and keeper were on edge from the start.”

“Another one bites the dust”, said The Sun. The Guardian said England had mostly looked ragged and their history of being “shown up” once they face top opposition had resurfaced.

“After four years of planning, all that emotional commitment and all the anticipation that always attaches itself to this tournament, England’s World Cup has unravelled in the space of five traumatic days,” the paper said.

“A draw when Italy play Costa Rica on Friday will confirm

another deeply unsatisfactory tournament and Hodgson will be acutely aware that the inquest this time will be far less sympathetic.”

The Times said captain Steven Gerrard was the fall guy, England paying a high price for two of his errors.

“The brave new world that we have been asked to buy into, built around a more expansive approach, was never likely to bring spectacular dividends at this World Cup, particularly once England were placed in such a difficult group,” the paper said.

“But in their first two matches their efforts have been under-

mined by sloppiness in all areas of the pitch.”

The Daily Telegraph said Suarez had condemned England to “humiliation”.

The Independent said England suffered from a “lack of requisite class” on the world stage.

“England simply lost the vigour they had found in Manaus and went back to the functionality which they had put in the past,” it said.

“The hope seems forlorn.

England are a moderately good football nation who can hold their own against most but scrape into the world’s top 10 for a reason.”

Japan coach unhappy with Greece draw Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni bemoaned his side’s failure to punish 10-man Greece after a 0-0 draw in Group C, which leaves the Asian giants struggling to reach the World Cup knockout rounds.

Japan looked to have been

given a crucial advantage when Greek captain Konstantinos Katsouranis was dismissed on 38 minutes for a second bookable offence.

But although Japan dominated thereafter, they were unable to find a way through a stubborn

Greek rearguard action and now have it all to do if they are to emerge from Group C. Japan’s draw means Colombia are guaranteed a top two finish in the group, but Zaccheroni’s men will now have to beat the in-form South Americans to

have any chance of joining them in the last 16.

“We’re not happy at this stage,” Zaccheroni said. “We pushed hard to win the game. We had a lot of possession, had a lot of chances and didn’t capitalise. We should have won the game.”- AFP

■ GROUP C

In brief

Rodriguez inspires Colombia to Cup win Colombia qualified for the final 16 of the World Cup courtesy of a scoreless draw between Japan and Greece after the South Americans defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 in Group C yesterday.

The victory over the Africans gave Colombia a maximum six points from their opening two matches and their passage to the knockout stages was guaranteed soon after by the Greece and Japan stalemate.

In the day’s opening match, Colombia playmaker James Rodriguez produced a superb

performance against Ivory Coast. Rodriguez scored his second goal of the tournament and fed substitute Juan Fernando Quintero for his first international goal, while Gervinho replied with a superb individual effort, his second of the finals, for the African side.

“It was a tough match like all of those at the World Cup,” said Rodriguez, who has more than made up for the loss of leading striker and Monaco team-mate Radamel Falcao through injury.

“It is terrific to have taken

three points off our major rival who are extremely physical and know how to play good football.”

Colombia’s coach Jose Pekerman said he was delighted with their campaign.

“It gives me great pleasure that we have come through a tough encounter and we have six points from six,” said the Argentine. “It is super that Colombia can compete at this level with players competing in their first World Cup finals.”

The Colombians should have

Security ‘embarrassing’ FIFA says it is embarrassed that hundreds of Chileans managed to gate-crash Maracana Stadium before their team’s World Cup match against Spain, and has vowed to tighten security to avoid a repeat. A crush of fans, many wearing their country’s red jersey, shattered a door to the iconic Rio de Janeiro arena’s media centre and swarmed in before that match, leading to 87 arrests. “It is embarrassing,” Fifa’s security director Ralf Mutschke said of the incident. “I think we have to protect journalists and the media and there’s no doubt about it, we also have to protect the fans,” he said. He said the invasion by ticketless fans - the second such incident at the stadium, which will host the July 13 final - had made organisers rethink security measures at Brazil’s 12 match venues.

broken the 0-0 deadlock just before halftime but for a dreadful miskick by Teofilo Gutierez after being beautifully teed up.

Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi had seen enough and sent 36-year-old Didier Drogba on for Wilfried Bony hoping he could work his magic. However, his teammates were looking at him in askance after the smaller Rodriguez managed to beat him and another defender and head home sparking another terrific Motown style Colombian goal celebration.

But behind that beaming grin lies a steely resolve and a fierce determination to succeed, which the Vixens will need to call on in tomorrow’s grand final against the Queensland Firebirds at Melbourne’s Hisense Arena. - AAP

Netball honours share NSW Swifts captain Kimberlee Green and English international Jo Harten have been named the transTasman netball league’s most valuable players. It is the fourth time the award has been split, with Green and Harten finishing the regular season on equal votes. Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic sharpshooter Harten joins a long list of imports to claim MVP honours, following Jhaniele Fowler-Reid (2013), Romelda Aiken (2008,2009) and Sonia Mkoloma (2008).

Armstrong suit allowed A US federal judge has denied Lance Armstrong’s request to dismiss the government’s $US100 million fraud lawsuit filed against the disgraced American cyclist. US District Judge Robert Wilkins said yesterday the American government can proceed with the case that alleges Armstrong defrauded the government by accepting sponsorship money from the US Postal Service while using performanceenhancing drugs. The government said the US Postal Service was duped into paying Armstrong and his teammates $US40 million from 1998 to 2004.

Ryder a Renegade Flamboyant New Zealand batsman Jesse Ryder has signed with the Big Bash League’s Melbourne Renegades. The 29-year-old bolsters an already impressive top order featuring skipper Aaron Finch, Matthew Wade, Callum Ferguson, Tom Cooper and Ben Rohrer. Left-handed bat Ryder is sure to give fans in Melbourne plenty to cheer about with the popular Black Cap having a domestic T20 strike rate of 145 which complements his scoring dash at international level (127.65 per 100 balls).

Bombers struggling As AFL’s Gillon McLachlan vents his frustration at his lack of involvement in ASADA negotiations, Essendon coach Mark Thompson has revealed some players are struggling to cope with being issued show-cause notices. Saying players were going through a grief-like process, Thompson revealed the strain on many of his players as they continued to take the field despite their uncertain futures.

“It’s an individual thing and some are coping better than others,” Thompson said. “You go through all different phases - it’s like grieving. “At times you get angry ... you want to fight; you want to vent.

Some guys have been there and come out of it and some players might still be in there.”

■ V8 SUPERCARS

Tyres a worry for Whincup

BY ED JACKSON He’s ready to reboot his lagging V8 Supercars title defence but Jamie Whincup is concerned a lack of tyres could spoil this weekend’s event in Darwin.

Each driver has been allocated four sets of tyres for the Darwin Triple Crown, two sets of hard tyres and two sets of softs.

It’s the first time the mixed tyre format has been used in this year’s championship.

The hard tyres can be used at any point over the weekend but with the soft tyres only allowed to be strapped onto the wheels in Sunday’s 200km race, Whincup admits tyre management is going to be key.

With the same hard tyre sets to be used for today’s qualifying and pair of 100km races, Whincup believes championship officials have left drivers at least one set short.

“We’ve got five stints we’ve got to do and we’ve only got four sets,” he said.

“We’re going to be barrelling around on canvas for the middle of some race.”

Tyre problems are the last thing Whincup needs as he struggles to keep himself in this year’s championship race.

Having not finished outside the championship top two in the past six years, winning five titles in the process, Whincup goes into this weekend fourth

Jamie Whincup gets all acrobatic in an earlier round of the V8 Supercars this year.

on the standings and without a race win since March.

The 31-year-old made a solid start to the weekend by clocking the second-fastest time in practice yesterday behind Holden’s Shane van Gisbergen.

The Red Bull Racing driver posted a fastest lap of 1 minute, 09.6227 seconds, just pipped by New Zealand’s van Gisbergen (1:09.3476) but ahead of championship rivals Mark Winterbottom, Craig Lowndes and Fabian Coulthard.

Coulthard is loving his unlike-

ly title challenge. The 31-yearold New Zealander heads into this weekend third in the standings, just 140 points behind leader Mark Winterbottom.

After a breakthrough 2013 campaign when Coulthard claimed the first three race wins of his V8s career, the Holden driver has carried on in 2014.

A fourth-career race-win at Winton in April along with another three podium finishes has catapulted Coulthard firmly into championship contention despite most of the focus being

on Whincup and Lowndes.

Whincup admits he was struggling following the previous event in Perth but a fiveweek break has given him the freshness to revive his year.

“It’s been a crazy start to the year, I don’t know why in particular but (he has been feeling) pretty run-down,” he said.

“I think it was that three race meetings in four weeks ... it was pretty full-on.

“I’m a little bit better with the fans this weekend than I was in Perth, a little bit happier.”- AAP

Time for TMOs to get new lenses R efereeing/umpiring sport can often be a fraught experience, and when it comes to tight decisions the folks in the middle making those decisions know that pretty much half the crowd are going to applaud their calls, while the other half will be waiting in the car park later on to discuss the decision a little more closely.

The NRL brought in a whole new man on the field to help get their accuracy level up, while almost every other major sport has turned to the camera.

Modern technology has been a massive aid for the whistleblowers, even football has finally embraced it to adjudicate on whether the ball has crossed the goal line; maybe they should have a special one to rule on the divers who blight that game, with an Olympic-like panel of expert judges to rate their antics, if you score under five

you’re out of the game.

The TMO has become a vital part of on-field proceedings, and in occasions like Israel Dagg’s try-saving tackle right in the corner at Forsyth Barr a few weeks ago, they do their job exceedingly well, all parties are left happy (or at least unhappily resigned to the facts).

No so last Saturday night, when England’s Mike Brown was awarded a try by TMO George Ayoub, despite everyone in the universe being able to clearly see that Brown’s arm was underneath the ball.

The TMO and the ref had a long discussion on the matter, but they weren’t even talking English to each other (the transcript is freely available) as they spoke in some special pidgin dialect known only to themselves, seemingly designed to confuse everybody listening in.

What if the game had five

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

more minutes to go? England could easily have found themselves a penalty within range, and history would have been irrevocably changed (no more test wins in a row record).

You can add ‘what ifs’ to any situation of course, just for a few little ‘what ifs’ the All Blacks would have another five World Cups in the cabinet, but they’re still wonderful little words for the purpose of instigating intelligent (or not) debate.

Mr Ayoub is well known to All Black fans from the last few years, he has often been sighted running the sidelines in impor-

tant test matches with his little flag always ready to be hung out to dry, usually for some tiny real or imagined knock on, or a handbag that’s been swung at the bottom of a ruck about ten minutes after the ball has reached a flying winger.

How he remains on the list of officials for big games is beyond me; although after last week surely he’ll be getting a red card of his very own.

I was mostly surprised that the commentators didn’t really climb into it and have a field day.

When Richie crashed over later in the game, wasn’t it was his own body under the ball so a try should have been awarded?

Going by Mr Ayoub’s rules, that would have been the case and the ABs would have run away with the handsome victory they deserved after finally hitting top gear in the third quarter of that match.

In brief

■ GOLF

Ko opens with poor round

By Daniel RichaRDson Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko has endured a horror back nine during her opening round of the Women’s US Open at Pinehurst as she eventually signed for a six-over 76 to be in a share of 77th.

The 17-year-old made the turn at even-par yesterday but bogeyed the 11th and 13th holes before registering a triple-bogey seven at the par-four 14th.

It didn’t stop there as she dropped another shot at the 16th before making par at 17 and 18 to finish a disastrous first day.

Ko will likely need to go under the card or shoot even par during her second round this morning if she wants to make the cut.

A collection of players were unable to finish their first round as play was suspended late in the day due to inclement weather.

Ko, who is still searching for her first major tournament victory, is nine shots back from leader Stacy Lewis who began with a three-under 67. Lewis has a one-stroke lead over Michelle Wie (-2), while a handful of other players are at one-under.

Meanwhile, on the PGA Tour, Manawatu’s Tim Wilkinson has made a useful start to the Travelers Championship in Connecticut with a four-under 66, leaving him a tie for 16th after the opening round.

Wilkinson made four birdies

Ricciardo ‘inspired’ Winning in Canada will give Red Bull extra motivation when they race at home in Austria this weekend, but catching up with leaders Mercedes will take time, Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo warns.

Speaking to journalists at the Red Bull Ring two weeks after his first Formula One win in Montreal, the 24-year-old looked like he still couldn’t stop smiling. “It’s sunk in now.

It took a few days, but it was awesome,” he admitted of his Canadian Grand Prix victory.

Going into Sunday’s race on home soil, the Austrian-owned team is hoping to push further against Mercedes, who are leading the constructors’ standings with 258 points. - AFP

ond round after he fired a disappointing two-over 72 to be in a share of 120th.

On the second-tier Web.com Tour, Hamilton’s Steven Alker opened with a two-under 68 to sit

in a share of 34th at the Air Capital Classic in Kansas. Alker, who missed the cut at last week’s US Open, is five strokes back from leader Aaron Watkins who began with a seven-under 63. - APNZ

Ilonen stars with Irish Open golf record Finland’s Mikko Ilonen ignored the script to outshine his morefancied local rivals, including double major-winning Rory McIlroy, on the opening day

Ashburton Guardian 27

of the Irish Open yesterday. Ilonen, 34, celebrated his 300th European Tour event by setting a course record of seven-underpar 64 in superb scoring condi-

tions on the Fota Island course.

The Finn ended the round with a two-shot lead over Germany’s Marcel Siem and Swedes Robert Karlsson and Magnus Carlsson.

In contrast, McIlroy, the highest ranked player in the field at No.6, managed just three birdies and double the number of bogeys to trail the Finn by 10 shots. - AFP

Miami Heat president Pat Riley asked players and fans to “get a grip” when it comes to impending free agency and the NBA Finals loss to San Antonio. Superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh can all opt out of their contracts this month and become free agents. All three are dealing with defeat after the Heat lost in the NBA Finals. Riley’s message was likely aimed at James, who can select his own future as the NBA’s top star. “We’ll find out what we’re made of,” Riley said. “It’s not about options, not about free agency. We have an opportunity to do something significant. But losing is a part of it. When you do you deal with it.”

Sri Lankans defiant Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews is adamant a drawn series with England won’t satisfy the tourists. Mathews’s men face England in the second and final Test at Headingley having held out for a draw in the series opener with just one wicket standing at Lord’s. Sri Lanka have won just two Tests in England, losing six and drawing six, but Mathews was in positive mood. “If we can win the game, that’s what we’re looking for, not a draw.” - AFP

■ CARR GROUP PURCHASE

Ashburton firm buys Elders NZ tity. The transaction would also expand the companies’ footprint within New Zealand and in the international marketplace.

The combined group will have over 400 staff in New Zealand, Australia, India, Africa and the Middle East and the acquisition would take combined group annual revenues to more than $300 million, Carr said.

Carr Group started up 40 years ago in Ashburton and the company has remained a familyowned business since then.

“It will be business as usual and as we settle in we will look for synergies between both businesses to ensure we achieve business efficiencies,” Carr said.

Elders Rural turned in a $789,000 net profit for the September 2013 year – its first profit in four years, and a $2.48 million improvement on the previous year’s, driven by improved market share and higher volumes and margins from wool agency services.

The Carr Group family and board of directors (from left) Stacey McKerchar, Craig Carr, Ryan Carr, Paul Tocker, James Carr, Glenys Carr, Ant Grayson, Emmet Hobbs and Greg Carr.

As an agency, Elders Rural is big in livestock and wool. It also has an insurance broking arm and is involved in the seed market.

Carr Group is involved in a range of agribusiness, including CLAAS Harvest Centre Canterbury, Winslow Contracting, Smallbone Holden Ashbur-

ton and Lely Centre Ashburton.

Chapman told APNZ the Elders Rural’s earnings had continued to improve in the current year.

He said the company had enjoyed a good relationship with Elders Australia.

budget which included both spending cuts and tax rises.

This may impact near-term economic activity given that following its release, consumer confidence measures fell significantly. US equities managed reasonable returns helped by strong first quarter earnings with positive earnings surprises being the strongest in several years. European equities also made gains although these were largely negated by the stronger NZ dollar.

New Zealand equities NZ equities have also been higher over the last quarter.

But having already delivered (in just four months) a level of return equal to our expectations for the whole year, it was unsurprising that the market eased back during the last month. Positive earnings surprises continue to be delivered which, along with generally strong earnings forecasts, are supportive of our market. The recent listing of Genesis Energy went very well, with investors sitting on healthy gains and we have a steady pipeline of new IPOs coming into the NZ market this year.

Looking at the fixed interest market, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s monetary policy tightening has contributed to recent increases in short-term interest rates, with the Official Cash Rate (OCR) now 3.25 per cent. Further increases are expected, however the view that short-term interest rates might rise aggressively is moderating, particularly given the strength of the NZ dollar.

Meanwhile longer-term interest rates, driven by global trends, have declined. This combination of interest rate movements has resulted in a flatter yield curve, with investors now receiving less yield enhancement for their longer dated bonds. Improving US economic data suggests however, that longer-term interest rate lows are now behind us.

Bond issues Recent new bond issues from ASB Bank and Kiwibank are now trading at healthy premiums, reflecting the slight decline in longer term rates recently. A new bond issue from Mighty River Power is likely to attract strong demand. We anticipate further new issues in the coming weeks.

Quarterly investment update

verall, the global outlook remains positive as economic output continues to edge higher. In the US, accelerating bank lending provides confidence that the economy should rebound strongly over the next several quarters, despite weaker growth in the first quarter. US lending growth has been broadly-based and encouragingly, small business lending jumped +11% over the last year.

Growth in Europe remains weak with commentary still focusing on the need for stimulatory monetary policy.

Geo-political tensions in the Ukraine highlight another risk to Europe’s financial system, although it’s unlikely that the US or European countries would want to jeopardise global growth in settling the civil unrest.

Chinese economic data has softened following policy-makers’ moves to restrict property speculation. However, with growth undershooting expectations, additional stimulatory measures have been implemented to cushion the economy from downside risks.

Global equity markets Global equity markets continued to edge higher over the three months to 31 May 2014 although currency movements over the quarter did offset some of the gains made.

In local terms, Australia was the best performing market.

This was despite a tough fiscal

business, particularly in the live export cattle trade,” he said.

“One of the key attributes of the transaction is that the company is returning to New Zealand ownership,” he said.

“There is a lot of sentiment out there, particularly in the rural sector, about overseas investment in rural property and businesses, so this puts Elders Rural as a wholly New Zealandowned business on a sound footing with Carr Group,” he said.

Craig Carr said the acquisition would help the company increase its footprint across New Zealand. “It’s a good opportunity to buy into a network of interesting operations and to diversify our primary produce portfolio,” he said.

The sale of the 50 per cent stake by Elders Australia was part of its broader asset sales programme after the company suffered a series a large asset writedowns over the last five years.

Ashburton-based farm machinery and feeds company, Carr Group, said it had bought stock and station agents Elders Rural Services New Zealand for an undisclosed sum from Elders Australia and New Zealand’s Scredle Rural Services.

Scredle is jointly owned by Elders Rural Services NZ managing director Stuart Chapman and Auckland businessman Eric Spencer.

Chapman will remain in charge of Elders Rural, which last year returned to profitability after racking up a string of big losses and a series of large writedowns.

The companies will continue to be run separately, but Chapman said a name change for Elders Rural was likely at some point.

Having a ball Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

his morning, the curtains of many Ashburton teenagers’ rooms will stay closed much later than usual.

It is the morning after the Ashburton College senior ball and, all around town, our future leaders are sleeping-off their night with friends.

Most will be tired but some will be nursing the sort of short-term illness that will pop up, from time-to-time, as they get used to adult life.

Ashburton educators, social services and parents have worked hard to ensure senior ball celebrations are well-managed, safe and fun.

Where students might once have made their own way to their own un-moderated parties, they now attend an after-ball party with rules and supervision.

Just as it does at Mount Hutt College, the Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service co-ordinates the event in conjunction with the students’ own organising committee. It is a partnership that works.

In some towns, after-ball parties were shut down when booze made them dangerous. Sometimes, their success was measured by how many students did not end up in hospital.

Meanwhile, an enviable model was growing in stature in Mid Canterbury. Students and agencies were collaborating to help make all of ball night the social event of the year.

Instead of being commercial operations, our after-ball parties are private functions moderated by dozens of parent volunteers.

Instead of alcohol sales, there are strict limits on what drinks students take with them.

Past editions of the Guardian are remarkable for what reportedly did not happen on ball night: crashes, hospitalisations, arrests have not been part of the after-ball story.

Some will always find a way to drink outside the confines of the after-ball which, naturally, exposes them to the same risk as during any other weekend.

However, it is heartening to know a supportive community did all it could to ensure last night was remembered more for the dresses than the odd (possibly inevitable) hangover.

Consequences for adults too Felicity-Stacey Clark FOOD FOR THOUGHT

F

irstly, my thanks for the responses received to my last column about discrimination towards minority groups in our communities.

These groups, against whom unfairness rages, live not just in New Zealand, but in many parts of the globe.

New Zealand is one of the more forward-looking countries in this respect.

In other words, it is breaking New Zealand law to discriminate against any person or organisation outlined in my last column.

That is fact. The rest of the piece is opinion, that’s why it’s called an opinion piece.

The opinion is mine, gathered over decades of observation and comparison while living in different parts of New Zealand, and in other parts of the world.

So I am grateful to those who took the time to comment.

Hopefully it is a sign of good robust debate which will spread throughout the community.

Moving on, my feeling about the last few weeks in New Zealand is there has been mayhem.

Violent burglaries and assaults, many traffic fatalities; injured and frightened children and elderly people.

What we need to remember

is that this is not new. You only have to go through old copies of the Guardian to see that.

The story of the attempted abduction of a young girl

at the corner of Smitheram Street and Harrison Street brought memories back for me that I thought had long gone.

More that 50 years ago I was riding my Christmas bike into that very intersection when I was hit by a drunken driver, who didn’t bother to stop.

I don’t know of any justice meted out to him, but I was sentenced to several months in traction in Ashburton Hospital.

To be fair, I mostly enjoyed my time there.

News being what it is today, it’s not just words, but graphic pictures of incidents like this are flashed before us daily.

How often do we stop to think that could be our grandparent, child or other family member who were the victims.

But when we get behind the wheels of cars, trucks, ATVs, or weapons, or think scaring someone would be a joke, (and it might be until something goes wrong) it seems that many of our minds go mysteriously blank. Thoughts of consequences simply disappear.

This is not a third world country. Believe me you notice the difference when you spend time in a third world country rather than a tourist mecca with a bar set in the middle of the swimming pool.

New Zealand children begin learning in preschool about the consequences. I think it’s time more adults among us keep consequences in mind too.

Resorting to war, to gain peace

T

wo hundred years ago this year, Christianity came to New Zealand with the message, “Behold I bring you tidings of great joy!”

During the next few years Maori embraced the new thinking relating to peace and halted the bloodshed that had gone on among the tribes when retribution was the answer to any insult or slight.

Then came the Treaty of Waitangi which promised protection for all, but was soon over-ridden by wars over land as settlers from Britain arrived looking for new opportunities.

The village of Parihaka in Taranaki made the news in the Christchurch Star on Monday,

Janet Benfell

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

November 7, 1881. Three full columns were headed: THE MARCH ON PARIHAKA ... A BLOODLESS CONTEST ... A WRETCHED FIASCO THE NATIVES PEACEFUL ... NOBLE ATTITUDE OF TE WHITI The reporters, having been forbidden by the colonial authorities to watch the action, lay hidden near the Maori who were sitting passively outside their homes as the British

troops advanced.

No blood was spilled that day in 1881, but the Maori leaders were arrested and sent to Dunedin where they were set to work building the sea walls around the port.

Mahatma Gandhi used passive resistance against the British in India many years later.

Peace festivals are still held at Parihaka.

One hundred years after the arrival of Rev Samuel Marsden, World War One erupted and New Zealanders and Maori were fighting on the same side on the other side of the world in a bid to restore “Peace on Earth”.

In his Letter to the Ephesians,

Paul, although speaking to Jews and non-Jews, had the answer for the resolution of war and “peace on earth, goodwill to all men” (and women)!

“But now in Christ you who were once far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility”. Part verses from Ephesians 2. NIV. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? But over the centuries even those who profess to be Christians have resorted to war, supposedly to gain peace.

In brief Arrests over sinkings Malaysian authorities say they have arrested two Indonesian men in connection with one of two boat accidents that have left 15 people dead and 27 others still missing. Eighty-two people have been rescued so far in an ongoing search off western Malaysia after the boats sank in separate incidents early on Wednesday. The boats, both believed to be bound for the neighbouring Indonesian island of Sumatra, were carrying illegal migrant workers heading home for the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Harris jury resumes The jury in Rolf Harris’s indecent assault trial will resume its deliberations today for a second day. After a six week trial, Justice Nigel Sweeney urged the 12 jurors to “not feel under any pressure of time at all.” It’s thought the jury could take more than a week to deliver its verdicts. Harris is charged with 12 counts of indecent assault against four girls in the UK between 1968 and 1986.

Another six women have given supporting evidence that the artist abused them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta between 1969 and 1991.

Rebels homes raided Guns, snakes and drugs have been seized in Sydney’s west as police target an outlaw bikie gang.

Four men were also arrested as Strike Force Raptor continued its investigation into the Rebels motorcycle gang, police say. On Thursday morning, a 47-year-old life member of the Rebels was arrested in Macquarie Fields. He was charged with 16 offences including commercial drug supply, ongoing drug supply and possession of a knife in a public place. The man’s arrest lead to four properties being searched - two in Macquarie Fields, one in Minto and another in Raby, police say.

Weapons, ammunition, pythons and drugs were found at the several of the properties.

Obama sounds warning US President Barack Obama has warned Iran it could end up fighting sectarian fury “in a whole lot of places” unless it helped stabilise Iraq and pushed for an inclusive, multi-ethnic government.

Shi’ite Iran could play a “constructive” role in helping ease the crisis in Iraq sparked by the lightning advance of Sunni radicals from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Obama said. - AFP

‘Art’ tastes better An example of “edible art” is proof of what top chefs already know - a culinary masterpiece has to look the part as well as taste delicious.

Psychologists found that a salad tasted better when arranged to resemble a work by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. The “abstract plating” was inspired by Kandisky’s Painting Number 201, which hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In tests, volunteers preferred the flavour of the artistic dish over the same ingredients tossed together or placed neatly but uncreatively on the plate.

■ UKRAINE

President issues peace plan

By Dmitry Zaks Ukraine’s new Western-backed president has released a sweeping peace plan for curbing a pro-Russian uprising in the separatist east that is threatening the ex-Soviet country’s survival.

The publication of the 14-point initiative followed two phone conversations in 72 hours between President Petro Poroshenko and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, which highlighted the Kremlin’s lingering influence over its smaller western neighbour.

Poroshenko also hosted in Kiev local leaders and tycoons from the eastern rustbelt to help win their agreement for his ideas of how to end the fighting that has killed at least 365 civilians and fighters on both sides.

A Ukrainian military spokesman said yesterday the latest eastern clashes claimed the lives of seven soldiers and left 30 wounded.

Kiev media published copies of the document Poroshenko was due to formally unveil later in the day that demands the rebels’ immediate disarmament and promises to decentralise power through constitutional reform.

The plan also drops criminal charges against separatist fighters who committed no “serious crimes” and provides “a guaranteed corridor for Russian and Ukrainian mercenaries to leave” the conflict zone.

But it also calls on “local government bodies to resume their operations” - a demand rejected by separatist leaders who have proclaimed their independence from Kiev and occupied administration buildings in about a dozen eastern cities and towns.

One rebel commander this week dismissed news that Poroshenko was about to propose a strategy for ending the country’s worst crisis in its postSoviet history as “meaningless”.

The plan is officially called “Steps toward a peaceful settle-

ment of the situation in eastern Ukrainian regions” and is intended to stay in force for 10 days after its publication.

But it makes no mention of an immediate but temporary unilateral ceasefire that Poroshenko promised on Wednesday to declare within a matter of days.

Poroshenko has previously suggested that his call for Ukrainian forces to halt their offensive would go into effect with the plan’s publication.

Putin had earlier bowed to Western pressure and refused to recognise the independence proclaimed by the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions in the wake of disputed May 11 sovereignty referendums.

But he has lobbied heavily for Kiev to turn Ukraine into a federation that provides regional

leaders with the right to draft their own laws and establish independent trade relations with nations such as Russia.

The new pro-EU leaders that rose to power after months of deadly protests toppled Russian-backed president Viktor Yanukovych in February have faced similar pressure from Western leaders.

But Washington and the European Union have stopped short of supporting the “federalisation” idea promoted by Putin and the regional rights outlined in Poroshenko’s proposal were limited.

It guarantees the “protection of the Russian language” in eastern regions and obliges the president to consult local leaders about whom he should appoint as governor.

But it does not give regions

the right to elect their own heads of administration - another key Russian demand.

Putin’s official reaction to details of the plan Poroshenko outlined by telephone late on Thursday has been muted.

“Poroshenko informed the Russian head of state regarding the main points of his plan to regulate the situation in southeast Ukraine,” the Kremlin said in a statement.

It added that Putin gave “a series of comments” and stressed the need for the “immediate end to the military operation”.

Poroshenko’s office said the Ukrainian leader - elected in snap May 25 polls that gave him a convincing first-round victory against several proRussian rivals - told Putin that he “counts on (his) support of the peace plan”.

■ IRAQ

Production cut at major oil company Iraq’s second-largest oil company has reduced its daily production for the first time since 2003, while the government says it is in control of the country’s largest refinery that was taken over by militants.

The state-run Northern Oil Company said yesterday it

was cutting production from 650,000 to 300,000 barrels per day - the drop coming after it stopped supplying the Baji refinery and a halt to northern exports.

The Baji refinery, about 200 kilometres north of the capital Baghdad, accounts for almost a

third of Iraq’s refining capacity.

While the government said it had repulsed an offensive by Sunni-led insurgents in Baji, sources in the area said militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant are in control of areas outside the refinery. Northern Oil, based in

Kirkuk, said oil now produced will be used to extract fuel and liquefied gas used for cooking, company sources told DPA. Al-Qaeda group ISIL, seized the northern city of Mosul in a blitz last week and then moved on to capture a string of towns near Baghdad.

In brief Bolt cutter attack A Mandurah man who bludgeoned his wife of 30 years with bolt cutters as she sat on the toilet has been sentenced to six years in jail.

Troy Jay Power pleaded guilty in Western Australia’s Supreme Court of committing an act that endangered or was likely to endanger the life, health or safety of Penelope Power on July 3, 2012.

While she was in the toilet, he forced the door open then repeatedly struck her to the head and face with bolt cutters yelling: “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill myself. I’m not going to jail for anyone.” She said, “Can you ring an ambulance?”, to which he replied “I will have another beer, and I will think about it.”

Bomb blast kills 34 A car bomb claimed by rebels has killed at least 34 people in a government-controlled village in the central Syrian province of Hama, state news agency SANA reports. More than 50 people were wounded in the attack in Al-Horra yesterday, SANA said, blaming the attack on rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar alAssad. The Islamic Front, a rebel coalition, claimed responsibility.

It said on Twitter that a radiocontrolled bomb had targeted a “gathering of Assad militia”. - AFP

Deadly landslide Thirteen people have been killed in landslides in Nepal’s western districts of Gulmi and Pyuthan.

Nine people were killed when three houses were swept away by a landslide brought on by heavy rain in Gulmi district’s Anglung village on Thursday night, Kantipur Television reported. One person was missing. In neighbouring Pyuthan district, four people were killed and one was missing in a landslide also caused by heavy rain. Two among the dead were minors. Landslides and flooding are common in Nepal, brought on by the monsoon, which lasts from June to September.

Celebrities arrested A Philippine senator and former movie star has been arrested, becoming the first politician detained over a massive corruption scandal that has rocked the nation, with two of his colleagues set to follow. Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, a former action hero who parlayed his fame into a political career, surrendered following an emotional saga played out for weeks on national television. “I will go to jail with my head held high, and I will come out with my head held high,” Revilla, 47, said shortly after attending a televised mass with his family. - AFP

Brothel preserved A Japanese military brothel in China has been declared a protected historic site, state media says, as Beijing highlights old grievances amid modern-day tensions with its longtime rival.

Ferry boss goes on trial The head of the operator of the South Korean ferry that sank in April with the loss of nearly 300 lives has gone on trial on charges of criminal negligence.

Kim Han-sik, the chief executive of Chonghaejin Marine Co, which owned the 6825-tonne Sewol ferry, appeared in court in the southern city of Gwangju yesterday with four other company officials.

All five face charges relating to allegations that the ferry, which capsized and sank on April 16, was regularly and dangerously overloaded with cargo in an effort to maximise route profits.

Yonhap news agency quoted Kim’s lawyer as saying his client, as chief executive, felt “deeply responsible”, but challenged the idea that he was personally to blame for the tragedy and the huge loss of life.

And a lawyer for another Chonghaejin official said he would dispute the prosecution’s

Redundancies for Ford workers It has been a “very sad day” for Victoria’s Ford workers yesterday with the car maker rolling out another 199 compulsory redundancies as part of its planned Australian manufacturing wind down.

The workers - 127 at Ford’s Broadmeadows plant and another 72 in Geelong - were told that they were working their final shift.

“The company announced the drop in production in March so the workers are, unfortunately, familiar with the process and have been waiting for today to occur,” Australian Manufacturing Workers Union national vehicles division secretary Dave Smith told AAP. “For many of them it is a very sad day, a very sad day indeed.”

A long lunch was held at each plant to give affected workers a chance to say their farewells.

The union had anticipated 230 compulsory redundancies but the number was reduced by about 50 workers opting for voluntary redundancy.

Other workers have also been redeployed to non-manufacturing parts of Ford’s operations, Mr Smith said.

Ford has announced it will cease car manufacturing in Australia from October 2016.

“Our commitment is to help our employees transition to new opportunities and we continue to look for opportunities to do that,” Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said yesterday.

“That is our priority.”

Ford has contributed $10 million to a federal government industry fund, and has also brought in prospective employers at each site to help workers find new jobs.

panies. He faces allegations of tax evasion, embezzlement and professional negligence.

Yoo and his eldest son - who both have substantial rewards on their heads - have evaded capture for weeks despite a nationwide dragnet involving

thousands of police as well as military personnel.

Yesterday’s trial opened as it emerged that the principal of the South Korean high school that lost more than 240 students in the disaster has been suspended.

Choo Kyo-young “was removed from his post in connection with the ferry disaster”, a local education official told AFP. Dawon High School in Ansan city, south of Seoul, has become a poignant symbol of the human cost of South Korea’s most traumatic peacetime disaster.

Of the 476 people on board the vessel, 325 were Dawon students on a school trip to the southern resort island of Sewol. More than 240 were killed, along with 10 teachers.

The school’s vice-principal, who was rescued from the ferry, committed suicide three days later, consumed by guilt that so many students in his charge had died.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) With the communication lines open and focused on giving unsaid words a voice, there’s the potential for a communication/relationship breakthrough.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The Sun is teaming up with Jupiter to kick off some of the most important weeks of the year for communications, ideas and decision making.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) It is the confidence and belief in yourself that Jupiter is fuelling that gives you a chance to draw a new line in the sand, ready to bring things home.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) This is a weekend that has a very relaxed and nostalgic vibe and it is one that is best spent with your work hat off.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While Venus wants you to keep your professional hat on, it’s more about listening to your heart and letting your imagination run wild.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Just as a sense of adventure becomes a lot more urgent, Venus’ last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart, calls for a last hurrah.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) This is the point where, in the home straight and with the finishing line in sight, you need to dig deep and get your second wind.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s time to take a more serious and determined look at what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) With only so many hours in a day there is a need to keep your work hat on, especially when it comes to listening to your heart and your gut.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With the professional pace already starting to pick up there is a chance to also address any work/life balance issues.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Although you can’t afford to take your work hat off over the weekend, you can’t afford to let life become all work and no play either.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) The urgency today is on the communication front, with Venus’ last weekend in your communication sector all about giving your heart a voice.
