Solution needed to visa problem BY MICHELLE NELSON

Mid Canterbury dairy farmers are facing a labour shortage in the fallout from a visa scandal involving Filipino workers. Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury president Willy Leferink raised the issue with Minister of Economic Development Steven Joyce in Ashburton recently. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has confirmed there were 661 Filipino workers on Canterbury dairy farms as at September 17, however it would not give details of the number under investigation. Mid Canterbury dairy farmers are heavily reliant on immigrant labour, and Mr Leferink said a significant number of Filipino workers were under re-

view. Uncertainty about the future was impacting on their ability to concentrate on their work. Mr Joyce said the Filipino visa corruption problem was challenging and “very significant”. Meetings are under way to assess the scope of the problem, he said. Dodgy documentation could catch out anyone from the Philippines who has been issued a work permit in the past six years, according to Filipino Dairy Farm Workers’ Association chairman Earl Magtibay. Corrupt recruiters in the Philippines have been accused of “fixing” immigration documents at costs of up to $15,000, to enable people access to New Zealand visas. In most cases this involved amending the length and extent of their work experience, but often

it was only tweaking details. New Zealand recruitment agencies are required to use a recruitment company based in the Philippines. “We need to make the pathway better for people who have been in a community for three or four years, and have developed an attachment to that community,” Mr Joyce said. “We need to find a practical solution without compromising immigration policy.” INZ is still processing visas from Filipino dairy workers and approving individual applications, the department’s assistant general manager Peter Elms said. Dairy workers who have remained with the same employer are not being disadvantaged by any delay in processing applications, he said.

Meat Loaf rescues abandoned puppy Meat Loaf may do anything for love and he also does anything for abandoned dogs after his crew spotted a pooch being left behind a dumpster. The Bat Out Of Hell singer had finished a rehearsal for the start of his North American tour in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when crew members spotted someone dumping a pooch behind a large bin. The dog, since dubbed Little Miss Karma, was looked after as the tour moved on to Phoenix, Arizona, over the weekend, receiving check-ups from veterinarians. Meat Loaf and his entourage have now found a permanent home for the pooch on a ranch.

Key extends invite to comedian John Key has invited John Oliver to New Zealand to witness one of his regular press conferences – after the Last Week Tonight host deemed the Prime Minister’s admission that he urinates in the shower the “greatest political interview of all time”. Yesterday morning Mr Key said he had not yet been invited to appear on Oliver’s show, despite the British comedian’s apparent “fascination” with his utterings. Last week, Mr Key took part in Hauraki Breakfast’s game Thank You For Your Honesty in which hosts Matt Heath, Jeremy Wells and Laura McGoldrick grill participants with a series of 10 questions, which they then have to answer truthfully. Mr Key admitted that he’d stolen stuff, urinated in the shower and that he didn’t think the Virgin Mary was a virgin. However, he didn’t “trim his downstairs” and neither had he sent a “dick pic”. Oliver called it “one ray of pure joyful light” after a bleak news week and “the greatest political interview of all time”.

Smith to make comeback Will Smith is set to take to the stage for his first musical performance in years at the Latin Grammy Awards next month. The Independence Day star, who last released an album in 2005, has made a comeback with Fiesta, his collaboration with Colombian band Bomba Estereo. Will raps in both English and Spanish for a song, and is scheduled to perform with the electro group at the awards show in Las Vegas on 19 November. “Performing at the Latin Grammy Awards is a huge honour for me,” he says, “I’ll be surrounded by so many talented artists whose music has such profound global impact. I can’t think of a more perfect place for Bomba Estereo and I to perform Fiesta Remix for the first time onstage.” Will recently announced he was back in the studio working on his own material.

US couple renews vows An American couple have “brought Rotorua into their lives forever” after they renewed their wedding vows with a Maori-themed ceremony. Spider Mattos surprised her husband Richard last week at the Rotorua Band Rotunda with the ceremony conducted by celebrant Darren Brown and his wife, Michelle of New Zealand Maori Weddings. The couple, who have been married for more than 27 years, donned korowai, were welcomed on to the rotunda to the strains of a conch shell and heard of the Te Arawa legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai before reciting their vows to each other. Mr and Mrs Brown closed the ceremony by singing the waiata, Pokarekare Ana. Mrs Matttos is of American Indian descent and their visit to Rotorua was part of their travels around the world. “I chose this [ceremony] for the Maori culture, especially being Native American, there is so many similarities to the two cultures.”

■ CHILDHOOD OBESITY PLAN

In brief

‘We’re in this together’ By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury schools are well ahead of the game when it comes to strategies to help prevent childhood obesity. Commenting on Health Minister Jonathan Coleman’s new Childhood Obesity Plan, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association chairman Chris Murphy said local schools were already aware of the need to promote healthy choices. The district was also fortunate obesity was not at an “epidemic level” due to the fact many Mid Cantabrians embraced healthy choices and active lifestyles, he said. Announced this week, Dr Coleman said the plan was created in an effort to prevent and effectively manage obesity in children and young people. Dr Coleman said being overweight or obese was expected to overtake tobacco as the leading preventable health risk in New Zealand within the next 12 months. Currently, one in nine New Zealand kids are obese and a further two are overweight. Particularly concerning in children, obesity is associated with a wide range of health conditions and an increased risk of premature onset illness. Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said his school has healthy eating and exercise initiatives in place, including a ban on fizzy drinks and fast food, and. The school also works with a sports cluster co-ordinator, has healthy eating programmes within its curriculum and also has a number of playgrounds, a bike track and scooter track which encourages kids to keep busy. Mr Melrose said even though the school was well ahead, people’s attitudes and perspectives needed to change in order to curb the country’s obesity problem. “The children aren’t the ones making the decisions,” he said.

Fire not suspicious There was no suspicious activity behind a fatal house fire in which one man died, police said yesterday. The man died in a blaze at his Petone, Hutt Valley, flat last Thursday. Neighbours tried to save him, a local resident said. Yesterday, police said the matter would be referred to the coroner and police were awaiting a Fire Safety Officer’s report. Local residents said a man moved in to the Hardham Crescent property a few weeks ago and lived alone. - NZME

Incorrect readings About 80 people could have been given incorrect blood alcohol readings, due to a fault with police breath-testing devices. Four hundred Drager 7510 devices have been withdrawn from rural police stations around the country. The police say they are working to identify and contact any people affected the fault. Police will waive infringements charges resulting from using the devices, national road policing manager Superintendent Steve Greally said. The devices failed by a small margin, he said, but the police want to avoid any doubt. The devices were rolled out in July to stations with three or fewer staff. - NZME

Porn in school email

Hampstead School pupil Cody Robin, 11, is one of the many children who keeps active on the school’s scooter and bike tracks, says principal Peter Melrose. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 201015-TM-050 “It’s the homes, the families, there’s a different attitude out there in society where fast food has become a lot more part of a family’s weekly diet.” In order to better target children and their families, children identified as obese during their free health and development B4 School Check will be referred to an appropriate health professional. However, Allenton Medical Centre nurse manager Angela Kinley said this is already happening. “We were, already, if we had

concerns referring on through a GP or dieticians anyway,” she said. Dr Coleman said by December 2017 95 per cent of children identified as obese during the checks will be referred to the appropriate professionals. “Childhood obesity is a serious issue which means some of our kids could end up living shorter lives than their parents,” he said. Plunket said it was also concerned at the escalating risk to young children’s health due to obesity, and while it welcomed a greater government focus on the

issue it would like to see policies that took a broader societal approach. “We’re seeing more children who are obese and suffering immediate health problems, such as poor dental health [and] children who are obese are more likely to be obese as adults and have a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, some cancers and arthritis,” said Plunket senior policy analyst Clair Trainor. For further information on the Childhood Obesity Plan go to www.health.govt.nz.

An investigation is under way after an Auckland college student hacked into the school’s database and sent pornographic images to all students. Radio New Zealand reported that a student at Mount Albert Grammar school created a fake Gmail account, hacked into the school’s email database and sent pornographic images to all 2700 students. The email address was then deactivated. Mount Albert Grammar school headmaster Dale Burden said the database was immediately closed down after parents notified the school. NetSafe executive director Martin Cocker said email database hacking happened from time to time. “School networks are more vulnerable to an insider attack. It’s a challenge for schools to face,” he said. He said it was a serious offence to unlawfully access a computer network. - NZME

■ HISTORIC STEAM TRAIN JOURNEY

Chuffed with Passchendaele BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Passengers from as far afield as the UK and Denmark disembarked from the historic steam train Passchendaele when it pulled up to take on water in Ashburton yesterday. Locomotive Ab 608 also attracted a sizeable crowd of locals who lined the tracks or secured a spot on the railway footbridge, waiting for the distinctive whistle and the gentle chuffing announcing the arrival of Passchendaele. Now domiciled in Steam Incorporated’s Paekakariki engine shed, the train is on a journey home to Dunedin when it went into service in October 1915, volunteer guard Graeme Glover said. The locomotive was written off in 1967. “It was a wreck when it arrived in Paekakariki in 1993,” Mr Glover said. “It’s been a lot of hard work restoring it – we only got her back into service last year.” Passchendaele started this week’s journey in Picton and after overnighting in Christchurch continued on to Oamaru yesterday. The trip will also take in Dunedin, Invercargill and Bluff, with an excursion on the historic Taieri Gorge Railway, before re-

turning to Christchurch. For passengers Elizabeth Gibson, Leoni and Greg Wilson and Pat Thompson, members of the New South Wales division of the Australian Railway Historical Society, the trip offered a chance to

get off the beaten track. “We will see parts of the country we wouldn’t otherwise get to,” Mrs Gibson said. The self-confessed railway junkies have travelled in New Zealand before, including a trip

encompassing the North Island last year. “It’s just gorgeous to see people jump out of their vehicles at railway crossings to take photos,” Mrs Wilson said. “Some people have been fol-

lowing us in cars for two days now.” Most of the 37 Australians on the train boarded in Picton on October 18, and will ride the length of the South Island before making their way home from Queenstown early next month. Mr Glover said Passchendaele is the only Ab locomotive to be named. Passchendaele, was chosen for the notorious battle of the same name, to commemorate the loss of 444 railwaymen during World War One, almost 10 per cent of those who served. The locomotive is in the hands of Kiwi Rail diesel train drivers with steam qualifications and serviced by Steam Incorporated volunteers. It was carrying 170 passengers when it passed through Ashburton yesterday, but numbers fluctuated as people embarked and disembarked at different points on the journey. As a rule of thumb it stops to take on 3000 gallons (11,356 litres) of water every 100 kilometres, and uses a tonne of coal per 50 kilometres. Passchendaele will pass through Ashburton again on October 28 bound for Christchurch. The following day it will depart for a two-night stay in Greymouth travelling the Tranz Alpine route through the Southern Alps.

■ BIRD OF THE YEAR COMPETITION

Kea build on their infamous reputation at Mt Hutt BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mt Hutt’s maverick keas built on their infamous reputation at the skifield this year, but they still deserve to win the Bird of the Year 2015 competition. So says Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie, who remains perplexed at the birds’ ability to chew their way through just about anything after several years in the job. In September they stopped

the triple chairlift for about two hours after pecking through conduit to wires underneath at the chairlift’s new terminal. “We have to do a bit of work over the summer to make that kea proof,” Mr McKenzie said. The birds hung around the skifield each winter, attracted by the activity, and this year there had been about a dozen. They included groups of up to four birds, with each group having a ringleader.

GET SOLAR INSTALLED FROM $6499

The damage wreaked this year followed the worst vandalism ever perpetrated by the birds on the skifield last year, when they managed to halt a $250,000 drilling project for a couple of days. Nevertheless, Mr McKenzie is among those taken by the birds’ charisma, inquisitive nature and ability to survive in a harsh climate. He would be voting for the birds in the Bird of the Year 2015, and urged others to do so as well.

The online competition closes on Sunday. It seems Mr McKenzie is not the only one taken by the bird, as it had 482 votes as of yesterday afternoon, coming fourth out of 52 birds, with the kokako, kaka and bar tailed godwit ahead, the latter in the lead on 927 votes. Ashburton’s black billed gull is trailing the field alongside a number of other species in double digits, with just 38 votes. Ashburton Forest and Bird is pro-

moting the bird as deserving of Mid Cantabrians’ votes, and has appointed mayor Angus McKay as its celebrity supporter. Chairwoman Edith Smith said yesterday she was not disheartened by losing votes to the kea. There were only 5000 left, down from 150,000, and until the 1970s they had a bounty on their beaks. “I don’t mind people making some amends for the terrible things we have done to the kea,” Mrs Smith said.

■ ANNIVERSARY

In brief

Mt Somers marks 150 years

Weather warning A weather warning remains in place for much of Canterbury as a strong front is set to cross the South Island today and tomorrow. Heavy rain on the West Coast could result in spillover into the Canterbury headwaters. MetService also forecasts damaging north-west wind gusts of 140km/h about exposed areas of the Canterbury high country and foothills.

Design and fly your own flag at Mt Somers to celebrate 150 years since the village was established. An organising committee has been hard at work putting together a programme of events for the November 7 party, including the flag design competition for children aged between five and 13 years. Committee member Rhonda Huggins said the winning flag will be made up to fly in the village and is hoping a sponsor will come forward to help with the cost. The designs must be submitted on A4-sized paper, contain no more than four colours and have the words Mt Somers 150 years in it. Entries should be at the Mt Somers Springburn School office before November 6. Other events planned for the day include historical walks, bus tours to Mt Somers and Inverary stations and other places of interest – all four just $5 a seat including afternoon tea. Old fashioned games will keep the kids amused, as will buggy rides, fossicking for fossils and limestone carving. Saturday evening’s entertainment will kick off with the Foothills Band’s old time dance music before switching to DJ Linda at about 9pm. To keep costs down the dance with be a BYO supper plate and drinks affair. Mrs Huggins said the committee had put together a collection of historic documents, photos and memorabilia which will be on display in the village hall. “If anyone has got any historical items they would lend us we would love to hear from them,” she said. For more information about the 150th celebrations call Mrs Huggins on 303 9884 or 027 419 2660.

Fishermen named The three fishermen missing after their trawler sank off the Canterbury coast at the weekend have been officially named by police. Jared Reese Husband, 47, of Timaru, Paul Russell Bennett, 35, of Motueka, and 55-year-old Terry Donald Booth, Nelson region, are feared dead after their Ocean Fisheries fishing vessel FV Jubilee was caught up in a “brutal” storm in the early hours of Sunday. The Royal New Zealand Navy will join the recovery operation, police confirmed yesterday. Navy diving support vessel HMNZS Manawanui will depart Devonport Naval Base today and make its way south to Canterbury. It will then be met by members of their operational dive team and the Wellington-based NZ Police dive squad when she arrives at the end of the week. Inspector Craig McKay said that, at this stage, the intention is to deploy the Navy’s remote operated vehicle (ROV) to confirm the identity and orientation of what police say is an “item of interest” located in 40m of water. - NZME

■ CARDIFF CROWN COURT

‘No stain on my character’ World Cup winning All Black Mils Muliaina says he can hold his head up high after a prosecution against him for allegedly groping a young woman’s backside in a crowded Welsh nightclub was thrown out. The 100-test international also spoke out against the manner of his arrest, which was aired on live TV straight after a top flight European rugby match. A sexual assault charge against Muliaina was dropped yesterday when the Crown conceded there was not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction. After an appearance in the Cardiff Crown Court, an emotional Muliaina, who strenuously denied any wrongdoing, told reporters he’d had a tough seven months. “When I heard that the charges were to be withdrawn, my immediate thoughts were with

Mils Muliaina my son. He should never have been put through what he went through. “I’m looking forward to going back to New Zealand in a few days. We want to put this behind us and move on. It’s been a long process. “I don’t know the girl or know what happened. All I know is that I’m not the person that had done what she said.” Muliaina, 35, was accused of

touching a 19-year-old woman “on the bottom over her trousers” on a busy nightclub nightclub dance floor. It was alleged the incident took place in the Welsh capital of Cardiff on March 7, hours after Muliaina played for Irish side Connacht in an away game against the Cardiff Blues. The fullback was arrested after the final whistle of his team’s European Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat at Gloucester in April. Still in his team tracksuit, he was captured by TV cameras as he was led away to a police van. “I always knew I never did anything wrong. The way I was treated, I suppose I was a bit aggrieved by it,” Muliaina said. “Not being able to comment publicly has been very frustrating. While I understand the police have a job to do, the manner in which I was arrested I find dif-

ficult to understand. “I can still hold my head up high and, as the judge said, this is no stain on my character.” Muliaina thanked friends, family, his new club, Zebre in Italy, and even strangers for supporting him. Wales News reported Muliaina’s defence lawyer John Charles Rees, QC, saying the decision to prosecute was “outrageous”. “My client’s reputation has been traduced while the complainant remains anonymous.” Muliaina wanted the trial to go ahead, so he could be found not guilty and clear his name, Mr Rees said. “It’s just wrong that they’ve now offered no evidence at this late stage. My client has had this matter hanging over his head for some time. “He’s a professional rugby player and this case has damaged his reputation.” - NZME

■ METHVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Students help solve parking woes

An 18-year-old man has been arrested after a small group of Victoria University hall residents went on a rampage – smashing up an entire floor which was now uninhabitable. The eighth floor of Victoria University’s Katharine Jermyn Hall was trashed so badly on Saturday night, the floor was now locked, Radio New Zealand reported. Last weekend was the final week of classes before exams began. One man who spoke to Radio New Zealand said someone was “walking around with a golf club, smashing s*** up and all that”. Another student told Radio NZ it was “like a warzone”. - NZME

Naming bid rejected A bid by two sisters to have name suppression of a man who sexually abused them 40 years ago quashed has been rejected by a judge. Christchurch sisters Karen Beaumont and Anne-Marie Forsyth wanted to expose the man who sexually abused them when they were aged between 10 and 14 in the 1970s. They took their battle to name and shame the man, referred to in court simply as ‘A’, to the High Court at Christchurch in what was considered a landmark judicial review. However, in a judgement released yesterday, Justice Cameron Mander ruled that since it’s been two decades since the man was convicted, publication of his name now would likely cause him “extreme hardship”. - NZME Wanganui mum Lissa Mansell was not going to let a little thing like having a baby stop her from attending her computer class. So she turned up at Tawhero School just five hours after giving birth to daughter Leslee. “I had to take my daughter Shelby to kindergarten anyway so I thought I may as well come to class rather than miss out on learning,” she said. Leslee was born at home at 4.50am yesterday weighing in at 7lb 11oz (3.22kg) after what her mother described as a “good but painful” labour. “She was four days overdue and the contractions started at about 5pm yesterday [Monday] - I had stuff to do so I just carried on with it.” The dad was sleeping off his ordeal while his partner carried on her Computers in Homes class with Leslee in attendance. - NZME

Free fruit for kids at supermarket Countdown Ashburton is part of a national roll-out that will see kids munching on free fruit. The Free Fruit For Kids programme launched in Ashburton on Monday,

which lets children snack on fruit while their parents shop. Countdown Ashburton store manager Maria Henley said it’s good to have healthy options for kids.

The free fruit is available in clearly marked baskets in the fruit and vegetable section. The fruit selection will change week by week – this week apples and bananas are on offer.

Ashburton College’s junior choir, Phoenix Rising, has organised a family portrait fundraiser to raise money for their Top of the South tour in December. Choral manager Carolyn Clough said they decided to offer families the chance to have a portrait taken as an original way to raise money for their trip. She also felt it would be nice for families leading up to Christmas. Their aim had been for the kids to fundraise the entire cost of their trip. “That’s part of the teambuilding.’’ The nearly 50-strong choir has been training hard for their biennial tour which will see them do a variety of performances and workshops around the top of the South Island. “It’s a huge undertaking,’’ she said. They had learnt nearly all the songs off by heart and were fine-tuning their

harmony, Mrs Clough said. “It’s starting to become real for them now. “They are getting really excited.’’ The five-day tour is a great opportunity for the students to develop their singing, she said. “I love seeing the growth in the children both musically and socially.’’ The tour would include visits to a rest home and various schools. “We’ve made a lovely connection with a rest home in Motueka.’’ They would also be surprising members of the public with several flash mobs. Phoenix Rising, for Year 9 and 10 students acted as a feeder for the school’s main choir Phoenix Chorus. Anyone interested in purchasing a family portrait, which will be taken on Thursday, October 29, from 4pm-9pm, can contact Mrs Clough on 03 308 4193.

The 10 dark secrets John Key told a nation Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

ou don’t have to love John Key but you do have to admire his willingness to reveal all on the nation’s airwaves. He’s a man well accustomed to being put on the spot with tricky questions. He’s accomplished at the smooth side step and while he might never admit to failing to tell the truth, there have been plenty of occasions when he’s dished out an answer that has left the questioner wondering what he actually meant. Not so last week when he fronted up as a guest on Radio Hauraki; it’s an odds-on bet Mr Key had little idea what was in store, but the on-air jock had plenty that was startling up his sleeve. He might have known he was on air to answer 10 personal questions, but could never have dreamed how personal those questions would be; they were things you’d never tell your mother, probably not your best mate. It was screamingly funny air time, by anyone’s standards, even more so when it was our Prime Minister in the spotlight. But good on him for having the willingness to front up, take it on the chin and answer with good humour and apparent honesty, questions that must have made him squirm. There have been claims by British comedian John Oliver that the 10-question slot was the best political interview ever; John Key is probably unsure. By all accounts he’s pretty philosophical about having revealed 10 very private facts on air and no doubt hopes they’ll have struck a chord of familiarity with his fellow New Zealanders. He’s said he’s unfazed that his personal foibles are now public fodder. He was in a situation where he had little choice but to front up and speak up. His greatest fear now could be that he’ll be criticised, for breaking new political ground – being too honest.

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you think Countdown supermarkets offering free fruit to kids is a good idea?

or me, farming in the Ashburton District is about as good as it gets – the cold winters that refresh the soil, the dry summers that provide superb growing conditions for crops and pastures and the plentiful supply of water from our braided rivers. Throw into the mix, the innovative farmers who make the most of this environment and you have one of the world’s leading agricultural areas. Often, it is not until overseas farmers come to visit and we see how envious they are, that we can fully appreciate our environment. Like us, foreign farmers are selling their produce on the world market, but are unlikely to have the growing conditions, strong community or supportive infrastructure that assist our region to thrive. Even at a national level, we are doing well. In the past 10 years, Ashburton has had a growth rate of 4 per cent, twice that of the country as a whole. Checking back though my emails from Fonterra’s chairman John Wilson I found that in July he wrote: “Whole milk powder auction price down 10.3 per cent to $US1590 per metric ton.” In September came better news from him – global diary trade up 16.5 per cent. The “farm gate” price for 2015/16 season increased by 75 cents to $4.60. On October 7, global dairy trade went up again 9.9 per cent. Times are challenging at the moment for the dairy and related industries. However, from my experience of farming in this district it is part of the ebb and flow of the agricultural sector. Since I began farming, I have experienced high wool, grain, herbage seed and meat prices, as well as low prices and very high interest rates (20 to 25 per cent). Yes it was not much fun farming in the mid-80s. Thankfully, there is considerably more support for farmers now when times are tough. Family wellness was not mentioned or talked about back in the early 80s, but today

In brief

■ GERMANY

Germany offers ‘sweetener’ Germany offered Turkey the prospect of faster progress on its hope of joining the European Union in exchange for badly needed help in stemming the flow of refugees to Europe. As the migrant crisis continued to escalate, with thousands entering Slovenia from Croatia after Hungary sealed off another border, Angela Merkel met her Turkish counterparts in Istanbul to urge them to stop peoplesmugglers ferrying refugees to European shores. Speaking at a joint news conference with Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish Prime Minister yesterday, the German Chancellor said Germany could help accelerate Turkey’s path to visa liberalisation in the EU for its citizens and push forward Ankara’s drawn-out EU membership talks. She expected Turkey in return to agree to take back migrants rejected by the EU, which Davutoglu has said he will agree to only if there is progress on the issue of visas. “Germany is ready to offer support. “If we take the question of visa liberalisation, we can talk in the German-Turkish working group about specific possibilities to push through visa facilitation,” Merkel said. The leaders agreed there could be no lasting solution to the migration crisis without resolving the conflict in Syria. More than two million refugees have now fled to Turkey. Thousands of migrants entered Slovenia from Croatia after Hungary forged ahead with a unilateral crackdown in the absence of EU unity. Croatia ran trains to take 4000 migrants from the town of Tovarnik on its eastern Serbian bor-

Extremist Islamists and hate preachers will be treated like paedophiles and banned from all contact with children in Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron said. He said that defeating Islamist extremism “will be the struggle of our generation” as he reveals new laws to “disrupt” radicals operating in Britain. He announced sweeping new powers for the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure that anyone with a conviction for terrorist or extremist activity is automatically banned from working with children and vulnerable people - in the same way as those convicted of sexual offences against children. - AFP

Trudeau name returns

After crossing through Macedonia and into Serbia, Mohammed al-Haj ended up in another bottleneck-turned-madhouse, the town of Presevo. The city was teeming with migrants trying to get Serbian registration papers required before they could continue on to Hungary. PHOTO AP der, according to the UN’s refugee agency. Until Hungary closed its border with Croatia on Saturday, Slovenia had only received a few hundred refugees this year, said the UNHCR. More than 3000 people surged into the tiny country on Sunday alone, most intending to travel on to Austria and Germany. The UNHCR has estimated that Slovenia has the capacity to accept around 7000 migrants a day, although Slovenian officials say they can take only 2500 a day, and that new groups will be allowed in only after previous groups leave the country.

At a station near the Slovenian border, the migrants from Tovarnik were split into groups and driven to various border crossings, before being dropped off at registration centres. Tensions rose over the slow registration process, with 400 migrants waiting upwards of six hours at the centre yesterday and many having to queue outside. Khalil, a 40-year-old courier, who had travelled from Homs in Syria, said: “We left Syria because of the war and genocide and massacres. “This journey has been a bit strenuous; it’s been an inconvenience; there’s been much wait-

ing ... for food, for sleeping, for clothes. “It’s a real misery, but what can one say.” Germany’s police union chief Rainer Wendt called for a fence to be built along the country’s border. “If we want to carry out serious border controls, we must build a fence along the German border,” he told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag yesterday, adding that the move would prompt other European countries which have seen hundreds of thousands of refugees cross their borders to follow suit. - AFP

Stem cells trial for diabetes patients A new clinical trial has been launched using stem cells to slow the advance of kidney disease caused by diabetes. NHS Blood and Transplant is to grow stromal stem cells to create about 800 million cells ready for use in patients. Stromal stem cells can differentiate into a variety of cell types such as bone cells, cartilage cells and fat cells. In the case of diabetic kidney disease, the stem cells are thought to work by reducing inflammation in the kidney. Kidney disease affects about 75 per cent of people with diabetes at some point and develops slowly over many years. Tests conducted on animals have shown that a single injection of stem cells is enough to substantially slow the rate of

progression of diabetic kidney disease. A clinical trial has been launched involving 48 patients with Type 2 diabetes at sites including the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. Professor Timothy O’Brien, who is the project leader and also director of the Regenerative Medicine Institute at the National University of Ireland Galway, said: “The cells work by reducing inflammation in the kidney. “From the patient’s perspective, the aim is that you can halt the progression of the disease towards end stage kidney disease.” Prof O’Brien said health care systems are facing a “huge task

in managing the complications caused by ever-increasing numbers of patients with diabetes”. “Chief among such complications will be kidney disease, which has a huge financial cost in terms of current treatments and takes a massive personal toll on patients,” Prof O’Brien said. “Diabetes is currently the most common cause of end

stage kidney disease resulting in the need for dialysis or transplantation. “We are confident that by harnessing the most modern approaches in stromal cell therapeutics, there may well be a way to halt the progression of diabetic kidney disease using this therapy.” Dr Richard Elliott, research communications manager at Diabetes UK, said: “Diabetes is the leading cause of end stage kidney disease requiring dialysis or transplant, despite the fact that kidney disease in people with diabetes develops very slowly over many years.” “There is an urgent need for new treatments to help us manage kidney disease more effectively, so we will await the results of this trial with interest.” - PA

Canadians voted for a sharp change in their government yesterday, returning a legendary name for liberals, Trudeau, to the prime minister’s office and resoundingly ending Conservative Stephen Harper’s near-decade in office. Justin Trudeau, the son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, became Canada’s new prime minister after his Liberal Party won a majority of Parliament’s 338 seats. Trudeau’s Liberals had been favoured to win the most seats, but few expected the final margin of victory. - AP

Mystery star lights up A mysterious star located about 1500 light-years from the earth has stirred controversy due to unusual fluctuations of light, leading some to theorise that an alien civilisation could have been found. Not so fast, says NASA. “The mysterious star, KIC 8462852, does have an odd light curve,” said Steve Howell, a US space agency scientist working on the Kepler space telescope’s planet-hunting mission, which launched in 2009. “However, I think that saying that it immediately is alien is a bit of a stretch,” Howell said. - AFP

Ex-agent sent to jail A former US Drug Enforcement Administration agent has been sentenced to 6.5 years jail for extortion and money laundering in connection with the Silk Road investigation.

Pistorius ‘broken’ At the 2012 London Olympics, before 80,000 roaring fans and a constellation of camera flashes, it took Oscar Pistorius 45.44 seconds to become a global icon. Then on Valentine’s Day in 2013, his achievements were just as quickly demolished. In the early hours of the morning he shot and killed his girlfriend, 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp. He was found guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced in October 2014 to five years in jail. After serving one year of that term, he was released under house arrest late on Monday. - AFP

■ RAISING CASH

In brief

Cheap borrowing spurs bonds The NZDX has struggled to attract much interest in recent years, with New Zealand’s utility dominated stock market offering stable dividend returns to investors against a backdrop of low interest rates eroding the lure of bank deposits. The number of debt market transactions accounted for just 2.2 per cent of trading activity on the NZX last month, although some $1.78 billion of new debt has been issued in the year-todate compared to $570m of new equity though initial public offerings and compliance listings. Hassell said the listed market will be for the first port of call for an increase in corporate bond issuance, and after a soft September quarter for equities, that might increase the allure of listed debt. - NZME

■ OPINION

Losing interest in term deposits

erm deposits have been a reliable investment for Kiwis over the years for those who didn’t mind parting with their money for a while in return for an acceptable interest rate from the bank. Times have changed however, and deposit rates have been falling quickly - the RBNZ has cut rates three times already this year and the average 1-year deposit rates among the banks is now a paltry 3.6 per cent. There is a growing view among analysts that lower rates are “the new norm” and not even the recent bounce back in dairy prices or the rampant Auckland housing market seem capable of stopping further cuts in the short term. Lower interest rates is great news for new borrowers and those with floating rate loans, however it’s often overlooked that savers are the losers in the equation. Lower interest rates means lower returns on “fixed interest” investments such as bank and term deposits. Unfortunately this happens to be just where the bulk of New Zealand’s retirees, and also those approaching retire-

Chris Crouchley MONEY TALKS

ment, have their savings. Fixed-interest investments are typically lower risk and therefore more suitable for those looking to preserve their capital into retirement. “Growth” investments such as shares on the other hand are higher risk and more suitable for younger investors who have the luxury of time to withstand market volatility. Unfortunately some of those who have been happily living off interest will now be chewing off some of their capital as well. This has prompted a lot of older investors to seek higher risk investments in search of higher returns. So where does someone with a retirement nest egg look to invest? We believe some of the most attractive investments at the moment are “income investments”.

A portfolio consisting of high quality fixed-interest securities (such as corporate bonds) and stable, high dividend shares can provide good income relative to risk as well as potential for capital appreciation and inflation protection. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) which invest in commercial property have performed extremely well over the previous few years and still have relatively attractive valuations. REITs generally have more predictable and longer term cash flow streams than residential property and like shares, provide good potential for capital appreciation. Such a portfolio that is well diversified and managed can allow an investor to produce sufficient income into retirement and more importantly – can do so without taking on excessive levels of risk.

A Statistics New Zealand study of trends in occupational segregation between women and men shows the most common job for males in 2013 was general manager, while the most common for women was sales assistant. A chart of the top 20 occupations for women and men in 2013 shows 3.9 per cent of all employed men were general manag-

ers, about twice the percentage of women in that role at 1.9 per cent. It also shows 5.9 per cent of employed women are sales assistants, outpacing a 3.6 per cent rate for men. The report uses census data from the 20 years to 2013 to look at trends in occupational segregation between women and men, which could be useful for the joint employer and union work-

Genesis Energy said it has seen growth in electricity sales in the first three months of the new financial year after New Zealand’s biggest electricity and gas retailer halted a slide in customers in the face of “aggressive” competition.

New Zealand’s relatively cheap local borrowing costs are spurring companies to raise cash by selling bonds, according to fund manager AMP Capital Investors (New Zealand). The Wellington-based firm, which manages more than $19 billion of assets, predicts more companies will tap New Zealand’s corporate bond market as low interest rates encourage them to borrow locally. Managing director and head of fixed income Grant Hassell told a briefing in Wellington the fund manager had started increasing its exposure to New Zealand corporate debt, which it had previously avoided because local credit spreads - the gap between bond and benchmark rates - hadn’t

widened as they had elsewhere in the world. Hassell compared Fonterra Co-operative Group’s 2021 bond issued in Australia with its New Zealand 2020 counterpart, where the Australian bond was about 120 basis points above the benchmark rate, while the New Zealand security was almost 80 basis points above its benchmark. “For the same credit risk you get half a per cent more investing in Australia in Fonterra than you do New Zealand.” The lower interest rate, or coupon, offered to New Zealand investors has stemmed from local investors moving funds out of term deposits and into bonds of well-known companies, he said. “I think you’re going to see entities like Fonterra coming to the New Zealand market, going ‘it’s

Farewell Mr Cooper By Penny Stilgoe-Rooney After 10 years at Ashburton Intermediate, Mr Cooper has resigned from his position as principal and is making the move up north, so that he can run a camping ground near Auckland. In his time here at AIS, he has made a difference and has certainly impacted on the lives of many children. One of the biggest changes Mr Cooper feels he has made, would be the introduction of the aquatics programme for the Year 7s in Term 1. He mentioned that it was a great way to get to know the Year 7s and their quirky little ways. Working with those that were scared of the water and sailing, watching them get out on the water and the smiles breaking out on their faces, always made a great memory. When questioned about what he has enjoyed the most about being a principal, his reply was being able to run a successful intermediate school for Year 7 and

Mr Cooper 8 students and the fact that it has remained like that for 10 years. He also enjoyed working with the students as they came through the school because you could always have a joke with them and he noted their great sense of humour. Mr Cooper has also enjoyed the challenges that some of the chil-

Below – B grade volleyball team back (from left) Lachie Stockdale, Ronan Kenny, Lochie Deuart, Tau Te Are Daniel. Front: Harriet Leverton, Zoe Beckley, Rita Iakopo, Bailey Longtime.

dren provide and the challenge to make this school the best place that he could for those students. The school leaders have had an important role, working closely with Mr Cooper and he liked that they were a small group of students he got to know really well and that they were generally an intelligent bunch. He said that there were usually one or two that he knew would be special when they grew up. The same can be said for the student council who he enjoyed working with and getting their opinions. For Mr Cooper, Ashburton Intermediate stands out from the rest, because of the dedication of the staff to make this an exciting place for 11 to 13-year-olds and being able to meet their individual needs. While he felt that there wasn’t anything he hadn’t achieved, he would have liked to have seen the new building go up in his time here. The school has got great facilities, people and attitude. It

won’t hurt to have a fresh face to take the school forward, he said. One thing he would say to current/future students is that this school is a place where, if you snooze you lose. Go for all the opportunities that the school provides aplenty. It’s not hard, you just need to find the motivation. Mr Cooper said that he would miss catching up with the students at the end of the day and even reminding some to pull their socks up or tuck their shirts in. As well as the students, he’s going to miss the Christmas holidays, which are six weeks of doing nothing on his boat or wherever he was. Instead, he will now be flat out! Making the move up north, he said he would miss the skifields, the people he has met and his family who are down here. One thing he definitely won’t miss is the cold! Mr Cooper is looking forward to the change of scenery and that he is going to be working for himself.

He is looking forward to not having to drive to work, instead just walk down the stairs in the morning. The new challenges and people are other aspects he is looking forward to. Many of the aspects of being a principal, he feels, will extend into running a camping ground. When up north Mr Cooper would like to try and continue his sailing but isn’t sure if he’ll get too much time with running a camping ground. Mr Cooper will be missed at Ashburton Intermediate, but one thing is for sure, we wish him all the best on his new adventure.

Revved up sausages

he humble sausage has come of age. Gone are the days when it was little more than an unhappy blend of breadcrumbs, fat and a little meat. Today sausages come in a mind-boggling number of varieties, all using good products with each variety reflecting the tastes of its creators. Not only do New Zealand’s butchers create sausages with modern day flavours, they’ve also become adept at replicating traditional sausages from a host of other countries. And so popular has the banger become in New Zealand, we have national sausage competitions and this year, for the first time, our own national sausage day. Tomorrow is the day that’s been set aside to recognise our summer icon – barbecue them, grill them or use them in combination with other ingredients to form a one-pot meal, it doesn’t matter how you eat them. While gourmet sausages beg to be eaten au naturel or with just a sympathetic sauce, high quality pure beef or pork sausages are equally at home alone or combined with a host of other ingredients.

serve 1/2 C rocket or lettuce leaves ■ Preheat oven to 220°C. ■ Place the sausages in a roasting dish with a little oil and the thyme sprigs. ■ Cook for 10 minutes, then add the mushrooms and both kinds of tomatoes. ■ Drizzle over the remaining oil and the balsamic vinegar. ■ Cook for a further 10 minutes, until the sausages are golden brown and cooked. ■ Split the rolls in half and warm them in the oven for the final 5 minutes of the sausage cooking time. ■ Serve the sausages piled on to the rolls and top with the tomatoes, mushrooms, chutney or tomato sauce and a few leaves of rocket.

■ MID CANTERBURY EXHIBITION

Late spring show opens

ARTS DIARY ■

■

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

About 15 painters from throughout Mid Canterbury and further afield are represented at the Ashburton Society of Arts’ late spring show, which opened last night. The show follows hot on the heels of the society’s early spring show, which saw many visitors and 12 paintings of the approximate 50 on display sold. The society holds its seasonal shows at its Short Street Studio, filling the arts calendar throughout the year, breaking only for an extended time over the Christmas holiday period. They are held alongside the society’s main event, its annual exhibition at the Ashburton Art Gallery. Convener Ngaio McKee said the society established its seasonal show itinerary about four years ago. Previously a few shorter shows had been held throughout the year, such as a cash and carry and a Christmas show. Mrs McKee had suggested the idea of holding the seasonal shows to the committee, encouraged by a recent extension of the studio, as this would provide the gallery space required. “It’s gone very well, I think everybody is very happy. The artists are happy with having somewhere they can exhibit, the general public is getting to know about it. And it’s somewhere to go if someone wants to buy a painting.” Mrs McKee, who has been a society member for over 30 years, generally staffs the studio gallery on Saturdays and organises a roster of exhibiting artists for Sundays. The gallery also opens at times when workshops are held in the studio and participants put out the studio sign. It was a commitment that Mrs McKee loved. Not only did she get to meet a wide range of artists, ranging from amateurs to professionals, but she got to meet members of the public who were interested in art. “I enjoy it, it’s a lot of work so I think if I wasn’t enjoying it I would give up on it.”

It is Chris Anderson’s tenth year as a coach in Mid Canterbury, and she remains as passionate as ever in passing on the knowledge she has acquired over a journeyed career. Anderson was born in Southland, before moving to Mid Canterbury as a 10-year-old, and played tennis with her friends and family in Lowcliffe. “I grew up on the side of a tennis court. “My mum and dad played, my family played out at Lowcliffe, and when we played, up to five of our family members were in the team,” she said. Anderson attended the now defunct Lowcliffe School, which closed after 118 years in 2011 due to declining numbers, before moving on to Ashburton College and competed for Mid Canterbury in the Browning Shield as a youngster. Her coaching career began in her late 20s in Christchurch, after moving north for an office job. “When our son was about three years old, I was asked to coach some mid-week ladies,” she said. “It started off as a hobby, but gradually grew like a mushroom. “I was later in to the coaching field than some who come through.” As a coach, Anderson’s career progressed rapidly and soon became involved with the New Zealand paralympic wheelchair tennis team that travelled across the Tasman for the 1990 World Teams Cup. Anderson then headed to the Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, before leading the New Zealand junior wheelchair team

to an excellent third place in Brazil in 2008 at the ITF World Cup. Anderson reflected on her time with the New Zealand wheelchair teams as one of the most enjoyable spells of her varied career. “I think seeing how the players cope with the disabilities they have, to them it’s everyday life, you’re just in awe of those athletes,” she said. “In my schools’ programmes, I always talk about wheelchair tennis, because tennis is for everyone. “It’s a sport that competitively, as an able bodied player, you could play a wheelchair athlete and it would be regarded as a match.” Anderson is a firm believer that tennis is for players of all ages and abilities, and continues to nurture young players’ skills though national programmes like Hot Shots, while encouraging older people to give the sport a try. “I’d say to older players to go for it. “One of the older players I’ve coached was 85, in Christchurch,” she said. “He had a son in Sydney and wanted to get so good that he could surprise him that next Christmas. He actually became a very good tennis player.” After 10 years of coaching in the region, Anderson is showing no signs of letting up and continues to mentor local players with the same passion as a decade ago. “You can’t do the job if you’re not passionate about it,” she said. “It’s just the rewards of seeing the smiles on kids’ faces, when you take a player with not too many skills to achieving, it’s just watching them grow as their skills grow.”

Junior darts league organiser Ken Bailey is hoping for more young darts players to sign up after a disappointing turnout at the Ashburton RSA on Saturday. Bailey said he is confident of more participants in the coming weeks, and plans to enter junior teams into tournaments throughout the South Island when the league takes off. Bailey will include the young players in matches with senior stalwarts on Thursday evenings to improve their skills, while hosting the junior division on Saturday mornings. “The major objective is to introduce darts to younger people and hopefully they’ll become members of the club in the future,” said Bailey. “They could be the darts players of the future, they could be like (Phil) Taylor or (Michael) van Gerwen, on the big money, but you only get better with practice and more practice.” For more information on the junior darts league, Ken Bailey can be contacted on 03 307 0455.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your own happiness isn’t even on the list today. Maybe it was just an oversight on your part. You have had your hands full taking care of your people. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Reach out, and you’ll be immediately accepted. This kind of thing doesn’t happen every day, so take advantage of the special social stardust sprinkled over today’s efforts. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re creative, and therefore many options seem feasible to you. Luxury of choice isn’t always the best thing for your art. Selfimposed limits might force you to excel even more than you thought you could! CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Today gives you the feeling your destiny has been determined. It has — mostly by you. You’ll get early evidence that a wish you made long ago is coming true. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The uncontrollable situation rears its head again. Dwelling on it has the potential to conjure nervous and frustrated energy. Sometimes the best option is to ignore what you can’t change. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your friends have their opinions, none of which apply to you in the straightto-the-heart and logical ways that would cause you to act immediately. You’ll form your own opinions. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Anxious energy looks for a focus. Dissipate uneasy feelings instead through activity. Going for a walk, knitting, reading, cleaning, a movie — they’re all ways to change the mental channel. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): On the cusp of the old you and the new you, you are as mysterious as a midnight moon. Those who are “awake” enough to admire you can’t help but wonder about the side you don’t show the world. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You could be the centre of attention — tempting today. But the truest expression of your charisma will happen when you quietly tend to your agenda. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): So the new road opening up doesn’t look like it’s going to be a pleasant, paved walk in the park. No, this one is rocky with boulders, cliffs and the like. Still, you want to go. Your fortunes beckon you forward. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The ego is a gold fob watch, hypnotising you into believing other people are your problem. While they may help you work on the problem, the root of all conflict is inside the self. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You will get where you need to be at the perfect time regardless of what the clock says. Stay cool, patient and relaxed. You’ll make a better impression in life and in traffic.

Kate Lloyd in action for her Ashburton College team.

‘Over the moon’ with selection BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s very own Kate Lloyd has been named in Netball New Zealand’s National Development Under 21 tier side. The Year 13 Ashburton College student was named among 19 other netballers in yesterday’s announcement.

One of only two Netball Mainland players to be selected, Lloyd said she never expected to be in the team, and was still a bit shocked. “I am over the moon about it,” she said. The announcement of the Under 21 tier came as part of New Zealand’s preparation for the

2017 World Youth Cup in Botswana. The 20 players selected will attend a training camp in December and from there 12 will be selected to tour the Cook Islands. An exceptional basketball and netball player, Lloyd had to make the tough decision earlier this year to only pick one sport, but

choosing the latter has well and truly paid off. This year Lloyd represented Ashburton College during both the Mid Canterbury Netball and Canterbury Secondary Schools’ SuperNet netball competitions, and she was also selected to play for the Mainland Under 19 squad.

Prior to that Lloyd trialed for the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ team to contest the Trans-Tasman Under 19 tournament. Over the summer she trained with the Canterbury Emerging Talent Squad. The full squad list is available at http://www.mynetball.co.nz/

Diamonds maintain their advantage over Silver Ferns The Silver Ferns’ quest for World Cup revenge has got off to a bumpy start as an energised Australia last night picked up from where they left off in Sydney. The world champion Diamonds

side may have had a host of new names in their line-up, but the outcome was familiar to New Zealand as Australia cruised to a 5044 win in the Constellation Cup opener in Christchurch.

A lifetime on the tennis court P16

With the exception of a strong opening period from the New Zealanders, the Australians looked the more clinical and creative of the two sides, while their typically relentless defence proved a prob-

lem for the home side all night. It was the Diamonds’ ninth straight Constellation Cup victory, and it will take some serious homework from the Ferns over the next 24 hours if they are

to avoid their 10th loss in a row in Auckland on Thursday night. The absence of Maria Tutaia was dearly felt in the shooting circle, with her replacement Jodi Brown lacking the same presence.- NZME
