GPs using extra security

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton GPs are sometimes taking security guards with them on after-hours calls as they take precautions following the town’s Winz shootings.

The security guards are likely to be a temporary measure as the GPs work with public health authorities to establish a central safe meeting room at Ashburton Hospital.

The moves come after a survey of GPs in the town showed two had encountered violence and half of respondents were wary of violence on after-hours

Chief executive Bill Eschenbach said yesterday the RCPHO was working with Ashburton Hospital and the Canterbury District Health Board to identify a room at Ashburton Hospital where doctors could meet patients after-hours.

which would enable doctors to access their surgery’s patient records from the site.

The organisation had a contract with a security firm through to the end of November and he expected the room to be established by then.

The organisation had conducted a survey of Ashburton GPs; half were wary of vio-

lence on night calls and two reported encountering violence.

Mr Eschenbach could give no further information on those incidents.

Ashburton GP spokesperson John Guthrie said after the Winz shootings on September 1, two concerned GPs had contacted the RCPHO to arrange for GPs to have the option of having a security guard at their surgeries with them when they attended a night call.

Kiwi authors win PM’s award Three Kiwi authors have been honoured for their life’s work on what it means to be a New Zealander with the Prime Minister’s Awards for Literary Achievement. Jock Phillips, Jack Lasenby and Ian Wedde will be awarded $60,000 each for their contributions to New Zealand literature by national arts agency Creative New Zealand.

Phillips has been recognised for his work in non-fiction, Fiction writer Lasenby has written more than 30 books for children and Wedde’s poetry has been published in anthologies in New Zealand and internationally.

Tatum was teen stripper Footage has surfaced online of Channing Tatum busting his now famous dance moves as an 18-yearold male stripper. Tatum, now 34, has been open about how his past as a stripper and how Magic Mike is loosely based on his own experience.

The 2012 movie was a box office hit and Tatum is now busy filming a sequel in Savannah, Georgia. But for those wanting to see where it all began, US Weekly recently found footage of a teenage Tatum performing as Chan Crawford. In the clip, the young Tatum wears baggy 90s boy band-style clothes (think Backstreet Boys) and breaks out some of his original moves in the now-closed Florida club Male Encounter.

Susan Boyle plans to adopt a child Scottish singer Susan Boyle is planning to become a mother at the age of 53 by adopting a child. The I Dreamed A Dream hitmaker admits she has always longed to have a family of her own, so she has contacted social services in the UK and has started the adoption process. “I have so much love to give, I have so much to give someone that I want to adopt,” Boyle told Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper. “I want to adopt a child who doesn’t have much, someone who I can really give something to. It’s a way of giving back for me. I have been considering it for about a year now, I love children, I always have but I couldn’t have them. I want to give a youngster what I didn’t have, and now I can do that. For the last couple of weeks it (the adoption process) has got serious, I hope that they see what I can give. I know I’m not married and I’m over 50 but I am waiting to see. I know it is all a long process but I’ve never been more keen to do it. The rules can be quite strict but let’s hope.

We’ll have to see what social-services say but it would make me so happy.”

For the past three weeks, drivers whose trucks are kept at the Toll Freight Depot have arrived to find their vehicles covered with an increasing amount of graffiti. Toll New Zealand group national manager Mark Allan said the graffiti was a massive financial hit to the depot. “I think it could cost us over $100,000 ... If we’ve got to re-brand each truck, it costs as much as $30-35,000 per truck and trailer unit and we have 10 different units.” The depot holds a mixture of company and privately-owned trucks.

■ CAREW PEEL FOREST SCHOOL

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury principal has expressed her disappointment with the Ministry of Education after they failed to advise her that she had not reported her school’s National Standards data.

An article appeared in The Press last week in which the Ministry of Education referred to a number of schools who had not reported their Na-

tional Standards data, including Carew Peel Forest School.

However, Carew Peel Forest School principal Kay Ward said she was “quite surprised” by the claim, as she believed she had sent the data to the ministry in March.

After going back over her emails, Mrs Ward realised she had accidentally sent a blank spreadsheet to the ministry, rather than the school’s data.

“It appears there’s been a bit of a glitch, and I thought

I’d sent all the data there,” she said. However, Mrs Ward said she was disappointed the mistake was not discovered by the ministry, and she only learned of the mistake through the media.

“We’re a bit disappointed that it wasn’t picked up,” she said.

Ministry of Education head of sector enablement and support Katrina Casey said parents could be confident the school had assessed its students against National Stand-

ards and the ministry expected to be getting that information through soon.

“It isn’t a problem, because the school holds that information.

“We did follow up with the school, but it now appears that initial follow-up call didn’t get through to the right person,” she said.

Ms Casey said seven out of 2099 schools had so far not submitted national standards data.

■ ASHBURTON ARACHNIDS

Reward call goes out for nasty predators By susan sanDys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton man Mike Ward is offering a reward for whitetailed spiders as he adds to his collection of the predatory arachnids.

Mr Ward operates his own pest control business, and regularly visits A&P shows throughout Canterbury. As part of his display at the shows, he likes to have plenty of live white-tailed spiders.

He is currently building up a collection for the Ashburton show; he has one spider and is appealing for more.

Mr Ward is offering $5 for each live white-tailed spider anyone may be able to bring him, and is contactable on 3080051.

Mr Ward has been a pest controller in Ashburton for the past five years, and operated in Christchurch for 15 years prior.

He said at shows many people shared their spider experiences with him, and he had talked to hundreds of people who had been bitten, many with the scars to prove it.

“The majority of people know what they look like, and then they show me their bites,” he said.

Mr Ward’s appeal for live spiders comes after the Guardian featured a story on a suspected spider-bite victim on

Car impounded A man had his car impounded and was spoken to by police after allegedly doing skids on Singletree Road on Sunday night.

Domestic incident Police were called to a domestic incident on Friday night, no arrests were made.

Ambulance calls Ashburton’s St John ambulance travelled 3310 kilometres last week attending 82 callouts. Of those 31 were listed as urgent. Forty-six of the calls were medical in nature and 22 were to accidents.

Murder remand David Owen Lyttle, 49, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering Wanganui man Brett Hall, will reappear in court on December 15.

Lyttle appeared in the High Court at Wanganui yesterday before Justice Simon France and the callover date was set. Mr Hall disappeared more than three years ago. He was last seen at his Pitangi property on the Whanganui River on May 27, 2011.

Saturday. Sam Ward was left in excruciating pain and nursing a wound the size of a bread and butter plate after being bitten this month.

Mr Ward feeds his whitetails other live spiders, and said watching them attack and eat their prey left him in no doubt

they were an aggressive species.

He said he will hold onto his current collection, which he hopes will build to at least one dozen, until the season of shows is over next year.

As much as Mr Ward said he does not have a soft spot for the

spiders, he said he did not plan to dispatch them once show season was over.

He would instead let them go out in the country, far from anyone’s home.

“I don’t sort of like to murder them or anything like that,” he said.

In brief

Feedback lack ‘disappointing’

By Daisy HuDson

Ashburton Guardian

“Because GPs are in a caring profession, they generally expect calls to be genuine calls for help and may be ill-prepared for those who have evil intentions.”

While general practices were unlikely to have significant sums of money or drugs on

site, “such logic may not be evident to a person who is under the influence of drugs, and we know that consumers of P and synthetic cannabis can also be quite violent”.

Dr Guthrie said the new room at the hospital would of-

fer close proximity to the oncall hospital staff.

“Patients should not take offence if they are asked to meet the GP at the hospital, but should consider it a safer environment for both themselves and the doctor,” he said.

A man has critical head injuries after falling from rocks at Whangarei Heads last evening.

The man, aged in his 40s, had fallen off rocks and into the water at Urquharts Bay Rd about 6pm, Norm Ngatai of St John Ambulance northern communications centre said. He was in a critical condition with head injuries when paramedics arrived at the scene, he said.

The man was airlifted to Northland Base Hospital where he would be stabilised before being flown to Auckland for further treatment, Mr Ngatai said.

Boy buried Two investigations have been launched to examine how a 3m dirt pile collapsed on top of a boy, almost suffocating him, in Twizel over the weekend. Deon Miller, 12, had been playing with friends digging holes in the mound of top soil when he was almost buried about 10am on Saturday. His friends tried to rescue him, before his father, Craig Miller, managed to drag him out from under the soil.

Deon was unconscious, but started breathing again once his airways were cleared, Mr Miller said. “Once the airways were cleared out he was back breathing by himself.

The boy spent time in the intensive care unit at Dunedin Hospital where he is now on the improve.

■ ART GALLERY, HERITAGE CENTRE

Ratepayers left to foot vandals’ bill

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ratepayers will end up footing the bill for repair costs after vandals smashed the main doors into Ashburton’s art and heritage centre over the weekend.

While the complex is insured, there would be costs around the repair work that would spill over into the public purse, Ashburton District Council commercial manager John Rooney said. He’s confident the offenders will be caught but he’s furious at the act of vandalism that saw standard 12mm glass doors smashed by a rock.

“You have two choices, build something that’s welcoming and attractive or build a prison. If you go to some parts of the country they have glass doors with steel roller doors pulled down over the top but this doesn’t create an attractive street frontage; our aim was for the building to be attractive – and secure,” he said.

No matter how high the level of security, locks and bolts would only keep honest people

out; if someone was determined enough they would always find a way into a building, Mr Rooney said.

“You can’t design to the lowest common denominator. If everyone in the community was sensible, building owners wouldn’t have to spend enormous amounts of money on security and increased design costs.”

While the front door to the art and history building was smashed, entry was only gained into the lobby area, security of the complex was not compromised, he said.

“When security was breached, our security system kicked in. What occurred shows an absolute lack of respect for other people’s property.”

The cost of replacement doors was still being assessed.

Replacement may take some time because the doors will need to be specially manufactured to specific balance requirements.

The etched glass work will need to be matched to work on the rest of the entrance area.

■ ASHBURTON WHITE RIBBON DAY

Survey shows violence not tolerated

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

Most Mid Cantabrians would seek help if they witnessed family violence, and not just ignore it, results of a survey suggest.

Ashburton White Ribbon Day working committee members have surveyed the public and will promote results on White Ribbon Day next month.

Ashburton Families Without Violence co-ordinator Poppy Cooper-Vear said she estimated about 200 people had participated in the survey, which had been undertaken at a number of loca-

tions in the town, including at a free barbecue at The Warehouse on Sunday. In addition eight to 14-year-olds had been surveyed in schools.

Mrs Cooper-Vear had not yet compiled the results, but said it appeared that most had positively responded to questions such as would they take action if they witnessed family violence, would they know where to seek help locally and did they know what White Ribbon Day was.

“It means family violence is just not going to be tolerated

within our community or in the district anymore.”

Meanwhile, Mrs Cooper-Vear is inviting members of the public to a march on White Ribbon Day, November 25, a Tuesday.

Organisers would be handing out white ribbons for people to wear and were inviting marchers to bring placards if they wished.

They would meet at midday at the corner of Moore and East Streets, and march down the East Street footpath. A free community barbecue would follow on the town chess board.

Police believe a mother and her young daughter were killed at the Howick property where they were living.

Two men appeared in Manukau District Court yesterday charged over the deaths of Mubarak Yusef, more commonly known as Pakeeza Faizal, and her daughter Juwairiyah Kalim, also known as ‘Jojo’ after human remains were discovered under the Takapuna overbridge.

Ms Faizal and Jojo were killed in late December 2006 or early 2007, police said yesterday.

‘Jojo’ was believed to be 3 years old when she died.

A 40-year-old man who was known to both victims was charged with the murders and a 64-year man was charged with being an accessory after the fact to both murders.

Ms Faizal Pakeeza and Jojo were not reported missing to police until last January and an investigation revealed the pair had been subject to foul play.

Human remains were found under the Takapuna Landing Bridge on Saturday, police said.

Mr Lynch said yesterday that Ms Faizal’s mother alerted police to her

daughter and granddaughter’s disappearance in January, 2013.

“We believe they were killed at an address in Howick where Pakeeza and Jojo were living,” Mr Lynch said.

Mr Lynch said there had been no earlier pleas to the public for information in the case.

Before police were alerted, Jojo’s father had been desperately trying to find her and enlisted the help of a private investigator.

“Jojo’s father did not have custody ...

He had made enquiries to find Jojo.”

Mr Lynch would not reveal how police had come to locate the remains.

He said the two charged men were related to each other but would not reveal how the pair were connected to Ms Faizal and Jojo.

Mr Lynch said the discovery of the bodies had answered some questions the family had had for many years.

“For them it was around providing some answers.”

A team of around dozen search specialists, ESR units and pathologists were at the site where the remains were discovered in Takapuna and it could be some time before they were recovered.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

In brief

Community work sentence “Sorry bro – I think I’ve got some of your pipe,” a man who had scaffolding on the back of his ute, told the rightful owner of the property, before unloading it and driving off.

But the matter didn’t end there.

Che Mapu defended himself against charges of theft, and of being in an enclosed yard without reasonable excuse, during a hearing before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

However, Judge Maze found the charges proved and sentenced Mapu to 100 hours of community work.

Prosecution witness Duncan Leadley told the court of arriving at the yard he uses to store large items associated with his building business on February 2.

Behind the building he saw a red ute, onto which two people were loading pipes.

Mapu said; “sorry bro’ – I think I’ve got some of your

pipes.” After unloading the property he offered to help Mr Leadley load his own trailer.

He took note of the ute’s number plate, and a large amount of empty bottles in the back. When Mapu drove off he called police, tipping them off that the offender may be heading to the nearby recycle facility.

Mapu alleged he had entered the property to relieve himself, and intended to use the pipe on a concrete pad on the property,

to lift his vehicle to check a fault with the gearbox. His argument was that he never intended to remove them from the property.

He also argued against the charge of being found in an enclosed yard, on the basis that the yard was unfenced and therefore not enclosed.

Judge Maze said Mapu’s comment to Mr Duncan leant weight to the charges, and his statement to police lacked credibility and found both charges proven by the prosecution.

And it is those people the Ashburton District Council wants to acknowledge this year in its community honours awards.

Nominations for these awards are currently open and mayor Angus McKay said

Ashburton Guardian 5

putting a person’s name forward was a way of recognising, thanking and celebrating a volunteer’s contribution to the wider community.

“We have a lot of incredible people who work so selflessly for the benefit of others and it’s important to show them how much the community appreciates what they do.”

Selecting the recipients from the nominations will be Mayor Angus McKay, councillors Ken Cutforth, Donna Favel and Martin Nordqvist.

“The awards sub-committee is looking for individuals who, through their volunteer work, make this community a better place to live and I know there are many people who do this,” Mr McKay said.

Nominations are open until November 13th and volunteers of any age can be nominated.

Individuals can be nominated by organisations, associations, societies or clubs with two members as nominators.

The nominee doesn’t have to know they‘ve been put forward,

but if selected their agreement is required before an award is made.

The names and information on those not selected remains confidential.

“Let’s celebrate our wonderful volunteers and their contributions in our community,” he said.

Nomination forms can be downloaded or completed online via the council’s website www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or hard copies can be collected from council offices.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Accepting invite to powhiri ‘appropriate’

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A decision to fly Ashburton College staff and students to a powhiri in Levin should be measured in terms of its value rather than its monetary cost, principal Grant McMillan says.

The powhiri, at Horowhenua College, was held to formally welcome former Ashburton College deputy principal Grant Congdon, who is now the school’s principal.

Its cost was easily quantified: it cost $3228, of which $3210 was donated from a stipend Mr McMillan is paid as

a member of the University of Canterbury’s strategic advisory committee, Mr McMillan said.

After the donation, the cost of the trip per person, including flights, travel insurance, transport, parking and food, came to $1.80, Mr McMillan confirmed in an interview yesterday.

The delegation was in Levin for about three-and-a-half hours and returned to Ashburton that evening.

Mr McMillan was responding to questions raised in a pair of letters to the editor published in the Ashburton Guardian last week.

He declined to answer all the correspondent’s questions last week and yesterday, he questioned whether the same concerns would have been raised in relation to a sports or music excursion.

“It’s not about the cost of the trip, it’s about the value,” he said.

Accepting the invitation to the powhiri was “the appropriate thing to do”.

Feedback from the students who went on the trip was positive, with many reporting they enjoyed participating in the cultural aspects of the trip, and they felt it was a good send off for Mr Congdon.

Kobane, but Ankara is reluctant to arm Kurds and intervene militarily against the militants, fearing an effective fighting force from its historic foes on its border.

On the prickly subject of whether the Turkish government has been informed beforehand of the resupply drop, a senior administration official in Washington said President Barack Obama spoke to his counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday “and was able to notify him of our intent to do this and importance we put on it”.

The official added: “We understand the longstanding Turkish concern with the range of groups, including Kurdish groups, they have been engaged in conflict with and in peace talks with.”

However, the official said, Islamic State was “a common enemy” for the United States and Turkey.

Washington had been in contact with Ankara in recent days to stress the “urgency” of the need to resupply Kurdish fighters in Kobane.

The airdrops were the fastest way to get supplies to Kurdish

fighters, one senior administration official said, “and an opportunity to strike a blow against (IS).

“When we see an opportunity to target (IS) we will take them”.

Separately, American-led warplanes launched 11 air strikes near Kobane on Saturday and Sunday, CENTCOM said, helping Kurdish fighters repulse a new IS attempt to cut their supply lines from Turkey.

So far, US forces have conducted more than 135 airstrikes against IS in Kobane alone.

Obama confronting ebola head-on President Barack Obama delayed acting on immigration and an attorney general nomination this fall to dodge the politics of the midterm campaign season.

But there was one topic he could not push aside — ebola.

The past week’s jarring ebola developments have put a spotlight on the president’s management skills just as he was earning praise for acting militarily against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.

In recent months, Obama caught criticism for going golf-

In brief

■ SYRIA

The American military for the first time has airdropped weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to Syrian Kurds in the battleground city of Kobane, in a move likely to anger key ally Turkey.

Kurdish defenders have been under IS assault for more than a month in Kobane, which has become a key prize and is being fought under the gaze of the world media massed just across the border in Turkey.

Three C-130 cargo aircraft carried out what US Central Command (CENTCOM) called “multiple” successful airdrops of supplies in the vicinity of Kobane, including small-arms weapons, provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq.

The aircraft faced no resistance from the air or the ground, were not accompanied by fighter jets and exited the area safely, a senior Obama administration official said, refusing to rule out a repeat of the action if needed, possibly in the near future.

The supplies were “intended to enable continued resistance against (IS’s) attempts to overtake Kobane,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

One senior Obama administration official said Kurdish fighters had put up an “impressive” effort in the face of an emboldened IS, but cautioned that Kobane could still fall to the IS and the security situation was “fluid.”

Nevertheless, “hundreds” of IS fighters had been killed in the escalating campaign in Kobane.

Washington and its Western allies have been pressing Turkey to take a more direct role in taking on the IS group in

ing immediately after speaking about the beheading of an American by IS, and for attending a fundraiser after an airliner was shot down in Ukraine.

This time, as the ebola threat hit home in America, the president suddenly cleared his schedule, cancelling travel and appearances to consult with Cabinet members and talk with world leaders about how to contain the epidemic which has killed more than 4500 people in West Africa.

By Friday, he had named a point man for the US response

just as the clamour for an ebola “czar” was nearing fever pitch.

“They are resisting their usual impulse to hunker down and wait it out,” said Jim Manley, a former top aide to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid who has in the past consulted with the White House.

“This time they’ve decided to switch gears if only because it hasn’t worked in the past.”

The week began with the news that a nurse in Dallas had become the first known case of ebola being transmitted within the United States.

By week’s end, a second Dallas nurse had been diagnosed, and the hunt for possible exposures to the disease expanded from Texas to Ohio, from multiple domestic airline flights to a cruise ship which was denied a port-of-call in the Caribbean.

White House officials say that the president’s approach this time reflected the unfolding, real-time developments that needed ongoing decisions to help reassure an increasingly alarmed American public.

OUR VIEW

Security fears a sad indictment Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

his month, we learned of a drop in recorded crime in our region. Yesterday, we heard about expensive petty vandalism at Ashburton’s new cultural centre and today we learn some Ashburton GPs have asked security guards to attend after-hours surgery calls.

That recorded crime dropped 7.6 per cent in the year ending June 30 tells only part of the story of perceptions of public safety in Mid Canterbury and the depths to which some people will stoop to impose their addled world view on others.

And you have to plumb some dark depths to dint these perceptions in a district where a sense of community still matters and where so much of what the community enjoys is provided through the goodwill and graft of the people who live here.

No matter your position on the controversial Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre, it is sad to read that the council’s property boss felt the need to discount installing a metal roller door to protect the building’s main glass door, which was smashed by a vandal on Sunday.

It is sad because it conjures images of caged and protected shop fronts in much bigger cities, where crime and desperation go hand-in-hand with the breakdown of community, social dislocation and the dog-eat-dog sense that it is every person for themselves.

This sense of insecurity is highlighted by the shocking news that some local GPs now have security workers with them when they attend night-time surgery calls.

It is shocking because they are called to night-time surgery to help people in need and yet some have been confronted with violence or are now wary of violence during after-hours calls.

And it is shocking because it will herald new measures that show how much times have changed.

The Ashburton Winz shootings changed the way organisations approach frontline security and a plan to provide a safe night-time surgery space at Ashburton Hospital must be commended. But, as with the gallery door, it is sad to think even the most everyday of things needs to be made more secure.

YOUR VIEW Seeking a super market If what I read in the media is correct, that there is to be a new, larger Countdown Supermarket to be built in the not too distant future.

I went to Countdown on Saturday morning to shop firstly I found that there were still no Brazil nuts in the bulk bin – that’s nothing new it is empty more often than not and had been empty when I was in the shop earlier in the week.

I am now in the breakfast aisle where I find there is no plain oat bran available – that’s nothing new either but I was really taken aback when there was also no Kelloggs All Bran 530grm available.

There was the fancy stuff with added bits and pieces but some of us just like it plain and it’s also much cheaper.

On to the baking aisle. We are told buy Homebrand – cheaper and just as good. That statement I agree with but once again no paper bags of self raising flour.

During my journey round the shop I talked to several other disgruntled shoppers who also could not get the goods they required.

The point I would like to make is what good is building a new supermarket when the existing one can’t even keep their shelves stocked, a bigger shop would be simply a bigger walk to discover what you want is not available.

I asked the checkout operator if I could speak to the supervi-

sor which I did and was treated by both with courtesy and told by the supervisor that she would look into it, after a few minutes wait I went along to the Customer Services counter to find the supervisor dealing with another customer.

I told her I had to go and left the shop, should I return I don’t know but probably will do.

Countdown you really need to get your act together.

Ann McKay Countdown Ashburton store manager Jeremy Samuels responds: Thanks for the opportunity to respond to Ms McKay’s complaint and I’m sorry to hear that she didn’t have a good experience over the weekend.

From time to time we can be out of stock on some items, but we work with our suppliers to make sure our shelves are filled as quickly as possible and minimise any inconvenience to customers.

We do have a current supply shortage of bulk bin Brazil nuts which we’re working with our supplier to resolve.

There are Brazil nuts in the baking aisle and I’ll make sure this is clearly communicated in the bulk bin section so customers know there is another option.

Our Ashburton store is very busy and that’s why we’re looking to extend our Countdown offer here in town with another store.

Customer service is really important to me and my team and I’d like to thank Ms McKay for bringing this to my attention.

Poor placement Do you really think it is appropriate to have the combined articles on page 3 (the next page looked at, after the front page) showing a great picture of young guys striving to win a sprint race, with another article above with the headline “Threat to kill ‘frustration’” (Ashburton Guardian, October 17).

Surely you have some intelligent staff who can make a competent layout decision to place the relevant news in the right place?

The mix of Ashburton District Court, and Combined Schools Athletics Day doesn’t work for me.

Max Smith The editor responds: I allocated the articles to the page. The photograph was among the best of the day and the story – about an Ashburton person threatening to kill a Housing New Zealand worker – was, in light of recent tragic events, of sufficient public interest to have prominence in the newspaper.

There are many uncomfortable juxtapositions in our community and the newspaper cannot shy from them.

Levy not so woolly Rick Powdrell

W

hile the decision of wool growers is clear, the wool levy referendum hasn’t put to bed the issues behind why it was held.

Over the weekend, two schools played out. One held that Federated Farmers should impassively sit on the fence, giving out information for sure, but when asked for a perspective, “we should express none”.

Another view is that Federated Farmers should take a stance on major industry issues. That’s how our members helped to form industry stalwarts like FMG and Ravensdown.

So yes, the Wool Levy Referendum was voted down but you need to understand the margins on a per farmer basis. A 57.19 per cent “no vote” to a 42.81 per cent “yes vote” sounds decisive until you realise the numbers behind the percentages. It boils down to 3295 Nos versus the 2466 growers who voted Yes’. Clear, yes, decisive, no.

This highlights how much of New Zealand’s multi-billion dollar primary industries hinge on very few people. The levy packs having gone out to just 12,201 growers.

While the result wasn’t as Federated Farmers preferred, the record voter turnout of 47.22 per cent was. Not only was it up on the 39 per cent who voted in 2009, it was way up on the 35 per cent these kind of votes normally attract.

CRUMB

The issues that sparked the wool levy vote are still out there despite the levy bid being rejected.

It also easily beat the 41.3 per cent turnout from last year’s local elections too.

So what conclusions should we draw?

For one, it shows the wool industry is nearly split down the middle. There’s a strong desire, especially among the 2466 growers who said yes, for an industry good body.

The wool industry needs to work on issues arising from the levy discussions about how we can promote and grow value.

This includes funding for the Campaign for Wool; a Campaign aimed at reconnecting a product we farmers believe in to consumers and the people who specify it.

A project the Campaign for Wool is keen to look into is wool’s role in health and safety.

When firefighters go into a fire, the flames are the least of their worries, because the fumes they encounter are from synthetics. We all know the fire retardant attributes of wool are well proven but are they well known?

We need real work around this area and particularly in schools, universities and among policymakers.

Proving “what we know” may not be “well known,” the other day Beef+Lamb NZ’s Chief Executive, Dr Scott Champion, relayed a story from the United States involving in-store taste tests. When offered lamb one customer told the taster, “sorry I am a vegetarian,” to which the taster replied, “don’t worry so was the lamb”.

Believe it or not, one of the planks for promoting grass-fed beef and lamb in the United States is that it is “vegetarian fed”.

One person replied to us on Twitter saying that people need more education. That point was a reason behind the wool levy. People do not know how good wool is, in fact, what wool is.

Want more examples?

In the United States, other promotional points include that beef and lamb comes from small family owned ranches and guess what? So does wool.

The past 17 years tells a worrying story for wool. Lamb values have climbed some 500 per cent but wool has only gone up by a miserly 10 per cent.

The old Wool Board deserved to be put down and the former

levy which followed it, did lose its way come 2009.

The shame is that instead of looking at what a modern farmer-led levy promised, too many of our guys were wrongly thinking producer board.

The Campaign for Wool exists to make the case for wool and its work programme mixes many things. It ranges from the global Wool Modern Exhibition aimed at hipster designers to make wool a modern, dynamic and relevant product, right through to combatting some real regulatory roadblocks.

Despite the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales, the Campaign is struggling for funding. This means some of what we want from a New Zealand perspective will not possibly happen.

It feels gutting to be a farmer from one of the world’s biggest producers of wool but we don’t contribute much to the wider global effort; an effort designed to enhance wool’s value.

There’s another point to why we need to do something in the wool industry; information and statistics. That was one of the things that the wool levy group pushed but that’s not going to happen either.

Federated Farmers, being the only non-commercial body representing wool growers, calls on all wool industry participants to take stock.

The next step for us will be our Meat & Fibre Council in Wellington next month where we will review the levy outcome, the past four years and of course, our future strategy.

■ ANZ-ROY MORGAN CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX

Confidence slips to 12-month low

By Paul McBeth New Zealand consumer confidence fell to a 12-month low in October as households felt less cheery about the future, with economic growth coming off the boil.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index fell 4.3 points to 123.4 in October to its lowest reading in 12 months, though still above its long-term average of 118.8.

The current conditions index edged up 0.3 of a point to 124.4, while future conditions dropped 7.4 points to 122.8.

“Consumer and business confidence have eased from their highs,” ANZ Bank New Zealand chief economist Cameron Bagrie said in his report.

“Nonetheless, our composite confidence gauge (which combines both sentiment measures) is still projecting a strong economy into 2015.”

The dip comes as the Reserve

Bank signals a pause in its interest rate hiking cycle to assess the impact of its four increases this year, and as the pace of economic growth looks set to slow from a peak in the first half of the year.

The survey shows households still feel better off financially, compared to a year ago, with a net 9 per cent of respondents more upbeat about their current position, compared to a net 10 per cent in September, and a net 32 per cent expect to be better off in a year’s time, compared to 39 per cent a month ago.

Of the 1017 people surveyed, a net 17 per cent predict New Zealand’s economy will enjoy good times over the next 12 months, compared to 24 per cent in September, and a net 19 per cent are optimistic about the economy’s five-year horizon, down from 27 per cent in September.

Households were largely upbeat about buying major appli-

Lifting R&D spend key focus this term

By Fiona RotheRhaM Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce says his top priorities for the next three years are to lift private sector spending on research and development, alleviate a shortage of engineers and ICT workers, and keep New Zealand on track to boost exports as a percentage of the economy.

Joyce, whose ministerial portfolios include science and innovation, tertiary education, skills and employment, and regulatory reform, said the government needs to press on with the Business Growth Agenda introduced in 2012. The government trimmed down its growth strategy, which covers exports, capital markets, innovation, skilled and safe workplaces, natural resources and infrastructure, to 62 priorities in June. When asked what hadn’t worked so well yet, Joyce said “I want to do it all faster”.

“The Australians are looking

over here and they will come back,” he said. “It’s a competitive world and we have to keep working to stay ahead.”

One of the biggest challenges is a shortage of engineering, information and communication technology workers. Tertiary institutions have lifted the number of higher ICT students by 19 per cent since 2010, but Joyce said employer demand for skilled ICT workers is still not being met in New Zealand.

The government is investing $28.6 million over four years in ICT Graduate Schools in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch whose courses are industry-driven, with the first students expected to start study in the second semester next year, Joyce said. The government is also trying to encourage more secondary students into the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.

Joyce said he is confident New Zealand can meet the govern-

ment’s target of boosting exports from 30 per cent to 40 per cent of gross domestic product by 2025 despite a lack of progress in the past three years.

The nation continues to have a strong reliance on commodity exports and an increasing dependence on China.

To achieve the target, the value of exports needed to double in real terms, whereas the growth rate in the four years to March 2012 was 5.6 per cent annually.

“Reaching 40 per cent of GDP is not an easy target,” Joyce said. “But it is a worthwhile target for New Zealand.”

The goal for business-led R&D spending was to lift it to 1 per cent of GDP by 2018 from just under 0.45 per cent currently.

“We have to really lift that very aggressively which is what we’re doing with the R&D programme,” he said.

By Suze MetheRell BurgerFuel Worldwide, the NZAX-listed fast food chain franchisor, is opening five new Australian stores and expects to announce the timing of its US expansion soon.

The Auckland-based company will sign agreements for five

franchise restaurants in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast before the end of March 2015.

“Although our biggest project is the upcoming expansion into the US, our Australasian team is focusing heavily on the Australian market,” chief executive Josef Roberts said.

Last month the burger chain

announced plans to bring franchise stores in-house to boost profit, and said it had bought an outlet in Henderson, for an undisclosed sum. It is targeting at least a 20 per cent return on investment from company-owned stores, and is considering opening its own restaurants in New Zealand.

National convener Chris Keeping said organisers were hopeful of similar numbers this year, when 572 entered the three competitions.

“One of our key messages this year will be to encourage people to enter so they are better positioned to capitalise on any opportunities that may arise from a forecast period of lower milk payout,” Mrs Keeping said.

“People use the entry process to do some strategic planning for their business and career, and the judging process

to fine-tune their budget. The judges may also identify opportunities where other gains can be made.”

Mrs Keeping said the phenomenal response to this year’s dairy trainee competition, which received nearly 300 entries, had led to some changes, particularly around the timing of entries.

The trainee competition began in 2008 with just over 100 entries received and grew to 292 entries this year.

Entrants first compete in one of 11 regional competitions held around the country, with all regional winners progressing to a national final.

All entries are received online at www. dairyindustryawards.co.nz and need to be completed by November 30.

T-L irrigation coming to town Ashburton-based New Zealand Agricultural Machinery Group (NZAMG) has been appointed as a T-L Irrigation distributor for New Zealand, owned by the Carr Group.

The appointment has created 10 new jobs across Canterbury and Central Otago. Six people were employed last month and four more positions are under recruitment putting the new T-L Irrigation distributor on track for the start of the irrigation season, NZAMG’s national sales manager Matthew Keen said.

“By later next month we expect to be fully operational with parts in the country and fully-staffed with teams ready to assist clients in both regions,” he said.

Brendan Hawes has been appointed T-L Irrigation national sales manager and starts work later this month from the Ashburton office.

He comes to the role after nine years’ experience as an irrigation designer, specialising in the design and construction of large-scale irrigation distribu-

tion networks, and had previously sold T-L Irrigation equipment.

The Central Otago office will be headed up by Shane Allan who has worked in the irrigation sector for many years co-ordinating and overseeing irrigation projects including installation, commissioning of systems and service contracts. As branch manager he will be based in Alexandra.

Adding irrigation equipment, parts and service to NZAMG is a natural evolution for the Carr Group-owned business.

“T-L Irrigation approached the Carr Group directly and we felt their products were a good fit with what we are already doing in the agricultural industry and complement our current machinery business,” Mr Keen said.

Like the Carr Group, the Nebraskanbased T-L Irrigation is a family-owned business with a strong focus on aftersales service and continuing to innovate to service the agricultural industry.

Farmers say no to wool levy

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A referendum to form a levyfunded industry good organisation attracted a good turn-out but delivered disappointment for the Wool Levy Group.

Farmers voted 57.19 per cent against the levy and 42.81 per cent in favour. The weighted stock vote was against the levy 59.88 per cent.

The group had indicated the disappointing result on Thursday, a day ahead of the final count. However, the group was encouraged by voter turn-out, with 47 per cent of sheep farmers polling.

The group had hoped to reinstate the levy, which would have generated $4.2 million a year to represent and develop the industry. The levy was based on a 2.75 cents a kilogram for the 154,000 tonnes of wool produced each year.

Wool Levy Group chairwoman Sandra Faulkner said the record voter turn-out of 47.22 per cent showed farmers were concerned about the future of the wool industry and wanted to be heard.

“The turn-out is significantly

higher than the last wool levy referendum of 39 per cent and of most commodity levy orders which are around 35 per cent,” she said.

New Zealand is the world’s third-largest wool exporter, and the industry is estimated to generate $700 million a year. In light of the failed vote, farmers will continue to depend on commercial companies and co-operatives for support.

Federated Farmers meat and fibre chairman Rick Powdrell was also disappointed in the result, but was heartened by the participation.

“Whilst we are disappointed in the result, we are pleased with the voter turn-out of 47 per cent, which was larger the Local Government Elections last year,” he said. “This tells us that there is still a strong desire for an industry good body to represent wool growers, especially from the smaller sheep farmers. At the moment their only non-commercial representative is Federated Farmers, which represents six other industry groups, whilst other industries tend to have more than one representative.”

Jersey bulls were in demand at the recent Tinwald dairy bull sale.

■ BULL SALE

Bulls sell well at Tinwald sale A small yarding of stock met with strong demand at the Tinwald dairy bull sale last week.

A line of 21 herefords, sold on behalf of Paul and Fiona Scott’s Matatoki Stud in the Maungati district, made $1850 a head and achieved 100 per cent clearance.

A line of 12 recorded jersey two-year-old bulls attracted strong interest, with the top bid reaching the $2500 mark.

Of the 41 animals offered, 36 sold.

“It wasn’t a big yarding, but what we lacked in numbers was made up for in quality,” PGG Wrightson Mid-South Canterbury stud stock rep Callum Dunnett said.

“There was not a massive gallery but there were a lot of agent bidders, and we were very pleased with the result.”

MARKET REPORT LAMB

Frozen inventory levels in NZ are low at the moment and processers are starting the new season with very little product in storage, well down on previous years when a carry-over of product from the previous season has lingered as the new season gets into gear.

This enables exporters to start the season on the right foot, and with a good proportion of the early season lamb sold chilled for immediate shipment, inventories are not expected to build up before the New Year. However, inventories have built up in China, although this is typical for this time of year. The situation has not been helped by high exports of lamb and mutton from Australia.

Frozen mutton supplies in China are reportedly still high, and exporters will be hoping for a good winter consumption period in the coming months.

BEEF

Imported US beef markets recorded only small movements this week, although volumes from NZ are still low. Prices for 95CL bull meat were largely unchanged at $US3.01/lb and 90CL cow traded at similar levels priced at $US2.81/lb. Exporters in Australia have been a lot more prominent in the last few weeks, after holding on to supply and prices rose they are now looking to offload big volumes before the US autumn cow kill and NZ bull kill season takes off in another month swamping the market. US buyers have found imported product easy to come by limiting any further upward scope in pricing. US domestic supplies of 90CL meat are still very tight, with prices nudging higher to 297c/lb this week, but it will take a significant jump of 5-10c to move the imported product much higher now.

FORESTRY

NZ wharf-gate prices for export logs have increased by nearly 10 per cent in the past month, mostly due to foreign exchange movements. The price for logs delivered to a port in China has been flat, as inventories in this market aren’t showing the declines that have been expected. This means that although increasing prices in NZ are encouraging for harvesting, the demand in China is actually flat.

Large scale forest owners have indicated that they won’t be increasing harvests this year while inventories in China are still too high.

The domestic log market is mostly flat, though there have been slight increases in prices for pruned and pulp logs. Supply of these logs is tight, especially in the Central North Island, and this is likely to lead to increased competition for logs in the New Year. Pulp processors are buying low grade sawlogs to top up supply in the North Island, as they are growing concerned that inventories are declining. Exports of lumber and panels have continued to decline in the past months, down 11 per cent and 7 per cent respectively. However, MPI figures suggest that production has remained constant and domestic consumption has increased to offset the decline in exports.

A symbol of tension

By Kathleen Stringer

A

while ago we were asked to look at some material the hospital was unsure what to do with. Amidst the huge collection of rather gruesome medical equipment and very interesting archives we came across the object above.

Some people will recognise it as a hot water bottle.

While it was used to warm the bed (and then was re-

“

as people began to arrive in Canterbury, people were approaching the then provincial government for assistance due to illness, unemployment or other strained circumstances.

When the provincial governments were abolished (1876), Christchurch let it be known that they were establishing a hospital and charitable aid board and invited other Canterbury councils to join them.

Ashburton did so, but under

ally. This Ashburton money, comprising some of the largest payments made to the board, went into such institutions as the Lyttelton Orphanage, Woolston Old Ladies Home and the Ashburton Old Men’s Home.

While they were worthy of people’s charity, Ashburton people were concerned by the large amount they had to pay to support them. The Old Men’s Home was particularly irksome

The Old Men’s Home was particularly irksome as, although it was situated within the town, local residents relied on the board, made up of largely Christchurch men, to admit “inmates”

moved), another use for it was as a foot warmer. We have a few foot warmers in the collection and although it is in good condition we might have let it pass, except that it is stamped North Canterbury Hospital Board, so is part of our area’s history.

People may challenge my statement by pointing out that it is stamped, not Ashburton but North Canterbury. And there begins a long and sometimes complex story of charitable aid in our district.

“The poor are always with you”, so it is said and as soon

the proviso that it was only until they were in a position to form a similar board for themselves.

Frustratingly for Ashburton, it became locked in an agreement that letters of complaint and even petitions to the premier could not release them from.

Each year both the county and borough furnished valuations of the property within each area and with that information, Christchurch would issue them with a request for a contribution to be paid annu-

as, although it was situated within the town, local residents relied on the board, made up of largely Christchurch men, to admit “inmates”.

There were many instances where hard-working and likeable local old men were forced to wait for a bed in the police cells (arrested as vagrants) or camp out on the banks of the Ashburton River while supposedly drunken, lazy non-locals had a relatively comfortable bed. In one year 60 men passed through the Old Men’s Home, but only nine were local.

Emergency relief, such as when the mayor provided clothes for the Brown family when their Tinwald house burned down, ran the risk of not being compensated if the committee didn’t think it was a worthy or suitable case.

It was not until 1910 that Ashburton finally became free of Christchurch and established its own board.

So how does this help us tell a story about the bed/foot warmer? Firstly, it would have been used at the Old Men’s Home in Short Street and later Tuarangi.

The complicated story of committees and boards is made more complex by the fact that the Ashburton County established their own hospital when charitable aid was being delivered from Christchurch. So any equipment from our hospital would be unlikely to be labelled North Canterbury.

While the name North Canterbury implies that the warmer was purchased pre-1885 (when the hospital board managed both the hospital in Christchurch and aid in the majority of Canterbury) it could be later.

The official title of the new board was the Ashburton and North Canterbury United Charitable Aid Board, however most people still called it North Canterbury.

After all the money it gave, poor Ashburton even had to fight to get its name in the title, relying on the central government to issue the name.

Even then Christchurch folk complained arrogantly that as Christchurch was bigger it should be mentioned first, however, it was decreed that as A came before C, Ashburton would be first.

Perhaps it was spite, not convenience which saw Ashburton’s name dropped off all but the most official of documents.

It’s this background that makes an otherwise rather dull hot-water bottle a real treasure.

Five little words on it turns it from “just another object” into a symbol of tension between two neighbours and a reminder of how early social welfare was not so readily obtained as it is today.

Neesham to open The tussle for World Cup opening spots starts at Blake Park today, with Jimmy Neesham getting first dibs on a job at the top.

Allrounder Neesham and specialist Martin Guptill will open in the first of three ODIs against South Africa. The game introduces New Zealand’s 13th international venue and kicks off the biggest home summer for 22 years, the last time the cup was held here.

Unless South African skipper AB de Villiers is a man of a thousand faces, the news clearly surprised him yesterday when he was told at a press conference. “He’s opening the batting? Fantastic, thank you for that,” was the champion batsman’s lighthearted response.

First win for Fox Auckland professional Ryan Fox has claimed his first win on the PGA Tour of Australasia in emphatic style. The 27-year-old golfer, who began the final round in a share of the lead with South Australian pro Paul Spargo on 18-under par, was in a class of his own at the Cottesloe Golf Club in Perth as he recorded a six shot victory from Western Australian Stephen Dartnall (69).

Cheika in charge?

NSW Waratahs Super Rugby titlewinning coach Michael Cheika has reportedly agreed to coach the Wallabies. The position fell vacant after Ewen McKenzie announced his resignation following Saturday’s loss to New Zealand in Brisbane. Yesterday afternoon, a number of websites reported Cheika had agreed to take on the job. However, the Australian Rugby Union, had yet to confirm any appointment. The Wallabies are due to leave for their spring tour of the northern hemisphere at the end of this week. Cheika’s coaching track record includes winning the Heineken Cup with Irish side Leinster.

Big-time beckons for Ryan

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ryan Feutz’ dreams of being a professional footballer take a huge leap forward in six days.

The 13-year-old will fly to Spain to attend the CF Cracks Football Academy in Valencia, with the potential to pick up an academy contract or at the very least an incredible experience of what his future could hold.

“I’m pretty excited, but starting to get a bit nervous too,” Ryan said.

The academy has links to Valencia and Barcelona - Ryan’s dream destination.

He will spend the month training seven days a week with top Spanish coaches and playing games gaining valuable experience, but it also acts as an audition to the talent scouts.

It is a massive opportunity and one the young striker wants

to take his best shot at.

Thousands of hopeful juniors get turned away every year with only a select few making it through the screening process.

That’s plenty of pressure on his young shoulders, but aside from a few nerves he seems undaunted by the proposition knowing exactly what is at stake.

“My dream would be to play in Spain. I just prefer their style of play.”

Ryan has been training with the International Football Academy of New Zealand

(IFANZ) which is partnered with sports management company Player Profiles, and it was through them that Ryan was scouted by Spanish agent Ignaciao Labernia to attend the academy in Spain.

He has put in the hard yards to get this incredible opportunity and has taken the steps to make sure he’s ready – even sitting out the recent South Island football tournaments to avoid any potential injury.

In preparation for the trip he has been home-stayed in Rolleston, and also transferred

from Ashburton Intermediate, so he could increase his training hours, spending five nights a week with IFANZ. He also goes in with some recent experience of what to expect having spent seven days in Perth with the HPC Football Balcatta Academy in January.

This will be tougher, with four times the football and in similar heat.

If a contract is forthcoming, Ryan will move to Spain – with the rest of his family in tow.

“There is a lot that could or couldn’t happen so it’s all unknown,” Ryan’s father Greg said.

“If he can impress them, ticks all the boxes and gets a contract to play over there we would go to.

“There are certainly worse places to live.”

Ashburton may have written itself into the racing record books for all the wrong reasons - and that record came with a price tag of more than $30,000.

On Saturday the Ashburton Racing Club’s big race meeting of the year was postponed, one race down, after jockeys and trainers decided the track was unsafe.

A skiff of rain overnight meant the track posed too great a danger to horses and riders.

They called in the Judicial Control Authority and following a track walk the meeting was called off because an area between the 900 metre and 700 metre markers was deemed unsafe for racing.

Racing Victoria’s chief handicapper Greg Carpenter announced the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup winner’s penalty yesterday. No horse has won the Melbourne Cup with 58.5kg or more since Think Big in 1975.

Ability no problem Kris Lees is optimistic that Lucia Valentina can master the 3200 metres of the $A6m Gr.1 Melbourne Cup. Lees was buoyed by the New Zealand-bred mare’s effort to finish third in Saturday’s Gr.1 Caulfield Cup. “I’m confident she could finish in the first five on that run,” he said.

“I like the way she copped a fair bit of adversity and still savaged the line with the quickest last 200 metres of the race.

rescheduling of the meeting.

Yesterday became postponement day, the horses were loaded and trainers headed home with the large number of out of region teams left to find stabling and feed for horses over the weekend.

To keep the horses sharp for yesterday’s meeting Riccarton opened its track over the weekend for workouts.

Race one ran on time yesterday, but once again the jockeys complained saying the ground was shifting around the track and that, once again, made it unsafe, said racing secretary Gareth Murfitt.

As a result, Ashburton has lost its main race day of the season, with the open class Ray Coupland stakes now to be raced at Riccarton.

Three other races scheduled for Ashburton will also be transferred to the Riccarton meeting.

The postponement followed by abandonment was an ex-

The Ashburton track was deemed unsafe to ride on yesterday.

pensive first for Ashburton, Mr Murfitt said.

“The track team had done a great job preparing the surface but the odd weather patterns meant the ground had baked and then the water just sat on top,” he said.

The race meeting was traditionally the racing club’s most profitable of the year, and the lost revenue from on and offcourse betting was likely to be

between $30,000 and $40,000, Mr Murfitt said.

While it was disappointing to have lost the meeting, there had been a number of serious racing accidents in Australia recently that added an edge of caution to race days, he said.

In terms of losses for Ashburton Raceway, manager Fiona Tonks said this would be small, and counted only in staff hours.

■ HALL OF FAMER

John joins elite group

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a big year for ex-Ashburtonian John Lischner.

The man who made a name for himself as a harness racing trainer in 1988 and went on to produce winners of 563 races during his training career, retired this year from active industry involvement.

And over the weekend he was rewarded for his contributions to racing over a 25-plus year career with induction to the Addington Raceway Harness Hall of Fame.

During his years as a butcher in Tapanui, Lischner tried training as a hobby for several years, chalking up his first raceday win at Invercargill in 1982 with Lord Bijou.

In 1988 he decided to commit to harness racing full time, moving from Tapanui up to Ashburton.

Ashburton was perhaps a random choice, but during a stay in the district he decided it felt good, felt like home.

“You could say I had a senior moment.

“I’d sold my business and we (wife Eleanor) were looking around New Zealand for the place we’d like to live.

“Ashburton felt comfortable.”

The decision was aided by

finding the perfect property, a purpose-built training establishment which had been set up by Robert Cameron.

While Cameron was semi-retired, he stayed on with Lischner, putting a few good horses his way.

“We have four or five horses we brought up with us but the place could handle 30-odd, so Robert stayed on for a while and he helped us into one or two good ones.”

Lischner looks back and says it’s hard to pick the stars in what was to become a huge and changing stable of horses.

“They’re all good in their own way and we’ve been lucky, we’ve had a lot of good ones,” he said.

Some of those were Emcee, Gee du Jour (17 wins), Eastburn Grant (13 wins) Stars and Stripes, (11 wins) Tartan Clansman (9 wins), and the list goes on.

Ricky May figured prominently as Lischner’s stable driver for a few years, with Ken Barron coming on board as stable foreman and number one driver in 1994/5.

It was to be the partnership with Barron that would be the catalyst for Lischner moving from Ashburton .

“Ken wanted to go out on his

own, make his own way in life and at that stage we were up at Addington 30-odd hours every week, a dairy farmer wanted my farm and we decided to move and set a new property up.”

The Barron-Lischner partnership was established in 2001 and at that time Lischner made it clear, he’d be in for three years and then he’d pull the pin.

The partnership proved fruitful, with 99 winners from 867 starters over three years.

And he had no regrets.

“The trouble with horse training is not that it’s hard work, it’s the bloody long hours.

“You’re up at 6am every day and you mightn’t get home from Forbury until 2am and then you still have to be back up at 6 again.”

When Lischner stepped back as a trainer, he remained involved in the industry serving time on several committees including handicapping committees and trainers’ and drivers’ associations.

Becoming a member of the Addington Hall of Fame is a significant honour, he said.

“It’s pretty prestigious when you look at the names up there, it’s quite an honour.”

Lischner is now retired and has lived in Wanaka for the past three years.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) This is a day for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground on the work front, as new professional doors prepare to open.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) In the lead up to Friday’s solar eclipse in your relationship sector take a look at what you really want and need from your relationships.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) As a mission to redefine your needs and priorities in terms of job satisfaction and a sense of purpose nears an end it will soon be time to walk the talk.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With job satisfaction and a sense of purpose due to become a lot more important, pay attention to what inspires your passions and fighting spirit.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Find the confidence to speak out and to speak up, knowing you’ve reached a point where old challenges have cleared the way for a breakthrough.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) If you’re spending time on home and family matters, whether it’s clearing out the garage, spring cleaning or DIY projects, focus on what excites you.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Before the money gods start creating serious traction you have a chance to pick which battles are worth waging and which ask too much in return.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) While a sense of what the future might hold could seem more like wishful thinking, this is a chance to craft the kind of future you want.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Today’s competitively charged lunar vibes bring clues to what will keep you motivated, with a chance to pick the battles that excite you.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Both professionally and in every aspect of your life there is a reminder that it’s all about the journey and the futility of sweating the small stuff.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Take time before Friday’s solar eclipse in your career sector to define your professional priorities and especially your definition of success.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) As well as embracing your professional passions and fighting spirit start trusting a gut sense that something big is building, just over the horizon.

Letham goes one better After being within a tyre width of victory a week earlier, Sam Letham went one better in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 45km handicap event around the Dawsons Road block on Sunday.

Letham, a former New Zealand age group World Duathlon Championship representative, displayed his strength in the fi-

nal push to the line to take the win from Michael Gallagher and Matt Marshall. Marty Cuttle, Ross Templeton and Rob Hooper rounded out the top six.

The podium finishers only found the front inside the final 1.5km after a solid group of 13 riders had kept the chasing riders at bay.

Craig Domigan rode the course in 63.41 to set the fastest time honours.

A top field of 20 juniors contested a 15km handicap event.

Maddie Lowry backed up last week’s victory with another top shelf ride to claim the win again.

Rosie Gray continued her progression with a hard earned sec-

ond and Abe O’Donnell charged through the field to secure third, and in doing so set the third fastest time.

Henry Smith pushed him to the line to secure fourth place with Jaxson White and Luke Skinner filling the top six spots.

Scratch rider Bailey O’Donnell

covered the course in 25.47 minutes for the fastest time after a sprint finish with co-marker Bailey Kershaw.

Andy Skinner led home the division 2 riders from Keryn O’Donnell Next week the club will contest a graded scratch event around the Blackbridge block.

Lock Romano the All Blacks’ lucky 34th man

BY CAMPBELL BURNES The big winners out of yesterday’s All Blacks touring squad announcement are Dan Carter, Victor Vito and Luke Romano.

Conversely, the unlucky ones are certainly Colin Slade and Steven Luatua.

There are no bolters, unless

you include the lifeline given to lock Romano, who last played for the All Blacks against England in November last year.

He specifically mentioned Canterbury’s Matt Todd as a player who continues to be unlucky thanks to the competition at openside, and the fact they have selected only six loose for-

wards, and yet five locks and five props.

The fitness of Carter continues to be a hot topic. The 100test All Blacks has played just 40 minutes of ITM Cup. “We’ve spoken to Colin Slade about the DC situation. We will monitor DC this week, and if he cannot make the trip because of

his leg, then Sladey will come back in,” said Hansen. “[Slade] has played extremely well for us all season when given the opportunity. He’s got real versatility. There aren’t too many who can say they have played for the All Blacks at halfback, first five, wing and fullback, and he slotted the winning

goal on the weekend. There’s not much between all four of our five-eighths. It’s just unfortunate for him.”

It certainly is, whereas Sonny Bill Williams has the good fortune of being given a free pass into the team, despite just 70 minutes of action for the Steelers.
