Tax write-off puts trust into the red BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Nothing in way of shield P18

The Ashburton Trust turned over $18.6 million in its last financial year, but on the back of a significant tax write-off, it ended the year $300,747 in the red. In a year that trust board chairman Alister Lilley described as at best average, the positives were around cashflow. Although this was $300,000 down on the previous year, most of the decline was attributable to the closure of the Shed nightclub, he said. “It was losing money and we’ve closed it, plain and simple.” The biggest contributor to this year’s big loss was a tax write-off on losses incurred two or three years ago. This was an accounting standards requirement. Last year the trust group had a $47,986 loss. Changes to the financing of Somer-

set House have also impacted on this year’s books. Initially the trust loaned money, interest free, to Somerset Ashburton Limited. This has penalised the trust over seven years to the tune of $1.8 million in lost interest. “The trust has had to suck this up and that’s been a real challenge. If we hadn’t done this we would have been profitable and we would have used our tax losses,” Mr Lilley said. When debt free, Somerset House will generate an annual income from rentals and leases of $1 million. This money will be distributed to the community through the Braided Rivers Trust. While the trust had made a significant loss for the year, Mr Lilley said he was happy with the way the business was trading. “Our cashflow is very strong but looking ahead, this year will have its

challenges too with the new alcohol policy, drink driving law changes, dairy downturn and a late start for the works.” A trading environment that was likely to remain challenging and everincreasing compliance costs meant the trust was taking a hard look at planned expenditure in terms of maintenance and redevelopment, he said. “It’s how we react to those challenges that will be the key; we have to be responsible with our governance. While you can handle one challenge at a time, we’ve been handling three or four and that’s tough.” The trust has plans this year to revamp the Speight’s Alehouse and to pick up deferred maintenance and upgrade work at the Hotel Ashburton but is taking a cautious approach to both projects.

Lorde backs lunch service Lorde has expressed her support for a lunch delivery programme that helps our most vulnerable Kiwi kids. The singer, real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor, posted an image on Instagram of lunches from Eat My Lunch. For every lunch ordered through Eat My Lunch, another is provided for a child in New Zealand who can’t afford their own. “A really appalling one in four kids are living in poverty, and going to school without lunch,” the singer wrote. “It makes me wanna cry thinking about kids who can’t eat at school, and therefore probably find it pretty tough to focus and learn too.” Lorde said she had contacted the service to ask: “I travel too much to eat a lunch, but how can I GIVE TWO instead?” “This week, I’m sponsoring Te Papapa school in Onehunga for all the lunches that they need, and I’ve also subscribed to GIVE TWO as their first subscriber.”

Jet ski crew key to Fanning’s survival A shark expert has praised the quick response of a jet ski crew, saying they helped save Aussie surfer Mick Fanning from becoming shark bait. Fanning’s miraculous escape has captured worldwide attention after a large shark stalked, then attacked him during the final of the J-Bay Open at South Africa’s Jeffreys Bay. The 34-yearold escaped without a scratch but spent a terrifying 40 seconds in the water after the shark approached him from behind, apparently becoming tangled in the surfer’s leg rope. Mark Meekan, from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, said the attack bore all the hallmarks of the great white’s hunting style, and the quick response of the jet ski crew that rescued him could not be underestimated. “The white shark is an ambush predator so they will take a bite, retreat off and wait for the prey to die,” he said. “So there is an opportunity in that window for people to be rescued.” Dr Meekan said Fanning had done everything possible to scare the shark off, with the surfer later telling reporters he punched the predator in the back during his struggle for life. “People say (punching sharks in) the nose and eye can work,” he said. “They do have a lot of sensory systems around the head but they are very tough animals so whether or not that is likely to have an effect - the jury is still out.”

Director Sam Mendes has ruled out making a third James Bond movie. Mendes was behind the camera for the record-breaking Skyfall in 2012 and he admits he was “pilloried” by his friends to make the follow-up Spectre, which will be out later this year. He expects Spectre to be the end of his 007 adventure. “I do think this is probably it. I don’t think I could go down that road again. You do have to put everything else on hold .... It really is more a lifestyle choice than a job,” he told BBC News. Mendes filmed the new Bond movie in London, Mexico, Italy and Morocco with a cast and crew of more than 1000.

Prime Minister John Key says he does not vet his son Max’s social media use and doubts his son would listen even if he tried. Max Key released a YouTube clip of his holiday in Hawaii with girlfriend Amelia Finlayson, which included a cameo appearance by Mr Key standing pensively on some rocks. Mr Key said he was a “reluctant participant” and while he had seen the clip before Max posted it online he had not vetted it. “The question is if they’d listen to me and I think that’s highly debatable. They might.” Mr Key said it would not be fair to restrict his children’s use of social media. “Some people will make the case I should be the censor, but on the other side of the coin I’m Prime Minister, but I’m also a father. Most fathers let their kids have social media pages,” he said. “I’ve wanted my kids to grow up naturally as much as they can, to run their own lives. They’ve got to take the good and the bad that comes with that. And there will be plenty of bad that comes along and there will be plenty of good as well.”

Enforced name change A Tauranga business owner has been forced to change her company name from Isis Financial Services after a stranger told her they hoped she would get her head cut off. Lisa Hotton in 2004 named her Tauranga debt-collection business after the Egyptian goddess Isis – one of the principal deities of the ancient Egyptian religion. However, she came under increasing pressure to change the name once the Islamic militant group Isis became well known around the world. “I didn’t expect to get messages from people saying ‘how could you?’ and ‘I hope you get your head chopped off ’,” she said. “It shows there’s a few ignorant people out there.” The messages of abuse continued, but she was surprised that she also got many messages of support. She had been adamant that she would not change the name. “I was still adamant, but the [bad] messages kept coming,” Ms Hotton said.

Get vaccinated, and quickly Caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

The flu is believed to have contributed to the death of a Mid Canterbury man as flu numbers continue to soar in Canterbury. The Guardian understands the man, believed to be in his 60s had recently arrived home from holiday and died early last week. The Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) could not confirm the cause of death but a spokeswoman added most people who contract the flu died from other diseases such as pneumonia.

health Dr Ramon Pink said while Canterbury’s flu numbers typically peak around September, it was important to get vaccinated quickly as it could take up to two weeks to develop immunity. “It’s important we don’t get complacent as we have been caught out unexpectedly in the past. “Flu struck particularly early in June and July 2012, causing havoc in the community and in hospital,” he said. During that period 490 people required hospital care. This year there are two prevalent strains of the flu,

the A-strain and B-strain. The A-strain is being reported in greater numbers in the North Island and is said to predominantly affect the elderly and the very young. The B-strain is more prevalent in the South Island. The latest influenza update from Environmental Science Research centre shows 32 reported cases of the A-strain and 122 of the B-strain within the Canterbury area. In a bid to ensure people have adequate protection against the flu, free access to the flu vaccine for people most at risk has been extended to August 31, Health

Minister Jonathan Coleman announced last week. The flu vaccine is free for people aged over 65 years old, pregnant women, people with long-term health conditions such as severe asthma and children under five years of age who have been hospitalised for a respiratory illness. It has also been extended to people with Down Syndrome and cochlear implants. Those not covered by the free programme can still get vaccinated, though there is a fee involved. To date almost 1.2 million flu vaccine doses have been distributed across the country.

Cop car hits cow A cop car and a cow collided in Canterbury last night, killing the animal and seriously damaging the patrol car. Police said a constable from Darfield was uninjured in the crash on Clintons Road, Darfield, about 6.15pm. However, Senior Sergeant Roy Appley said there was “substantial damage to the police vehicle which he was driving”. “The cattle beast that was hit has not survived the crash,” he said. “Inquiries are under way to locate the owner of the cattle beast.” Mr Appley said no other motorists were involved. A crash investigation was under way but police were not looking for anyone else in relation to the matter. - NZME

Duckshooters charged Four Maniototo men have been charged after a shotgun discharged, leaving a duck shooter with a “big hole in his arm” earlier this year. The four men, who have been charged with a variety of firearms offences, will all appear in the Alexandra District Court next week. Police said, at the time of the incident, a group of five duck shooters were travelling in an all-terrain vehicle on farmland near Paerau when the vehicle went over a rise and one hunter and two shotguns fell out. One shotgun discharged, hitting the man in the arm. The man’s arm had a “large entry and exit wound” as the gun had discharged at near point-blank range. - NZME

Smile, you’re on CCTV Dunedin police monitoring CCTV footage are now able to keep an eye on Queenstown and Wanaka and will soon be watching Southland. The Dunedin Central Police Station has gained access to 18 surveillance cameras in Queenstown and seven in Wanaka. The cameras, like 27 set up across Dunedin, are live 24 hours a day and monitored by police staff at the station’s Southern District Command centre. District prevention manager Acting Senior Sergeant Mike McIlraith said the camera surveillance was another safeguard for the region. “It gives the community some additional reassurance that, if required, police can look at the footage that’s available.” - NZME

White delight High winds caused some Mt Hutt skiers and snowboarders to get off to a late start on Sunday, but yesterday it was business as usual. Mt Hutt Ski Area media co-ordinator Bindy Egden said high winds caused visibility issues on the access road on Sunday until around midday, however the “awesome new snow” was worth the wait. All the main trails were groomed on Sunday night and skiers and snowboarders alike enjoyed a fine and sunny afternoon up the mountain yesterday.

Key wants house data before changing rules Prime Minister John Key has opened the door to possible restrictions on foreign buyers, saying if information gained under new rules showed high numbers of foreigners were buying in New Zealand he will act. From October 1, the Government will be able to collect data on how many houses were being sold to non-resident buyers after a new requirement for those buyers to get a New Zealand tax number or register an overseas

tax number with the IRD. Mr Key said the details of what information would be released were still being worked out, but it would give a clearer picture than Labour’s figures based on Chinese surnames. “If we think we need to take steps to address an issue we see as becoming of great concern we are prepared to look at that.” He refused to specify what levels of foreign buying he was happy with, but said if it was

close to the 40 per cent Labour had assessed as Chinese buyers in its Auckland’s figures it would be much bigger than he expected and a problem. However, he doubted that was the case, even at the lower 30 per cent figure. “Around New Zealand I very much doubt that is the case. Even in Auckland I’d be staggered if that was the case. But let’s wait and see.” He said the new data would

not be a perfect measure because it would include New Zealanders overseas buying homes to move back to. That could distort the figures from Australia and the UK, where a lot of Kiwis were based. “In a place like China, there are a hell of a lot less New Zealanders who actually live in China. So we look at the non-resident tax data out of China and assess the bulk would probably not be New Zealanders.” - NZME

Madill laid to rest The Canadian partner of ex-All Black Jerry Collins, who also died in a car crash in France last month, will finally be laid to rest. Alana Madill and Collins were killed when their car was struck by a bus on a French motorway on June 5. Their infant daughter Ayla, now nearly 4 months old, was injured in the smash but is now safely in Canada with Ms Madill’s parents, Ruth and Darrell Madill. While 34-year-old Collins was laid to rest in an emotional funeral attended by thousands including the Madills, friends, fans, and former teammates at Porirua’s Te Rauparaha Arena on June 17, Ms Madill’s family and friends have had to wait to say their final goodbyes as their priority has been caring for baby Ayla. Ms Madill’s close friend Jordan McDonald said a funeral service will be held on August 1. - NZME

More rooms for new pupils By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

A massive roll surge has a Mid Canterbury school scrambling to find room for dozens of pupils. Sixteen new faces walked through the gates of Methven Primary School for the first time yesterday - the most the school has ever started in one day. The influx of new pupils has brought the school’s total roll up to 303. The school has been one of the most affected by Mid Canterbury’s recent roll boom, which has seen new classrooms popping up at schools around the district. However Methven Primary School will have more new classrooms than most. Three new classrooms have been approved by the Ministry of Education and are in the design stage. The school is also planning to apply for a further three rooms, according to principal Chris Murphy. “We’re booming,” he said. Predictions earlier in the year did not have the school roll hitting 303 until September but it is now tracking far ahead of that, he said. He expected a further 25 fiveyear-olds to start at the school before the end of the year. The school would likely finish the year with more than 330 students, making the need for new classrooms all the more

Dead man named The Ashburton man killed in a crash between Burnham and Dunsandel last week has been named as 60-year-old Anthony Newton. In a statement released yesterday, senior sergeant Peter Stills said Mr Newton was northbound on State Highway 1 last Thursday afternoon when his vehicle crossed the centre line at Norwood. “His vehicle collided with a trailer being towed southbound before colliding with another south-bound vehicle,” Mr Stills said. The driver of the second vehicle, a man in his 40s, was taken to Christchurch Hospital where he was treated for chest injuries. The driver of the towing vehicle was assessed at the scene. Mr Newton’s death has been referred to the coroner and Police are continuing their investigation into the crash.

imperative. “We’re putting a lot of pressure on to get these three new classrooms built,” he said. However even once those classrooms were built the school would only have the space to cater for 285 pupils, he said. It currently only had enough teaching space for 240 pupils,

meaning two classes were being taught in the school library. Despite the challenges of catering for such rapid roll growth, Mr Murphy said it was “a good problem to have”. The flurry of building work at Mid Canterbury schools is not set to slow down any time soon. Rakaia School is also await-

ing the construction of four new classrooms to cater for its current and future roll growth. Principal Mark Ellis said progress was moving slower than he would like, but tenders for the project close at the end of July. He was hoping construction would start in August or September.

An incorrect figure was quoted in a story in Saturday’s Guardian detailing how banks were dealing with cash-strapped farmers. While rural lending makes up about 40 per cent of Heartland Bank’s business, just 8 per cent of all loans are exposed to the dairy industry.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Police concerned man’s behaviour escalating A man who armed himself with a kitchen knife and threatened police officers shortly after he was released on bail is in custody. Raymond Rawiri Hemi, 22, of Ashburton, appeared in the Ashburton District Court before Judge Joanna Maze two weeks ago. He faced charges of assaulting a police officer, assault, animal cruelty, disorderly behaviour and a driving matter. Judge Maze had ordered a medical report at an earlier hearing, however Hemi failed to comply and the report was not available. Due to Hemi’s “significant personal difficulties” his lawyer was unable to take instructions and no pleas were entered. New arrangements were made for the assessment interview and Hemi was released on bail. Shortly after leaving the courthouse he allegedly be-

came involved in an altercation on Dobson Street. It was alleged Hemi then fetched a “large kitchen” knife to the Ashburton Police Station where he entered the yard, threatened and assaulted officers and damaged a police car. He was arrested and remanded in custody during the afternoon court sitting.

Hemi returned to court yesterday where he faced charges of possessing an offensive weapon, threatening to kill, assaulting police officers, wilful damage, and aggravated burglary. Yesterday defence lawyer Douglas Brown, asked Judge Maze to release Hemi on bail, however the police prosecutor objected on the grounds the new

offences were committed while he was on bail, and straight after his last appearance. Police were also concerned Hemi’s behaviour had been escalating, the court was told. Judge Maze said the new allegations, if proven, were serious and a custodial sentence was likely. She acknowledged Hemi’s personal circumstances, but said

she was unable to remand him on bail, and as she was in Ashburton, unable to access other options. However, Judge Maze said arrangements for Hemi to be transferred to a secure hospital could be made upon his arrival at the prison. Hemi offered no pleas to any of the charges. He will return to court on August 3.

Inquiry into jail fights

Two weeks ago Monica and Falaniko Taumaoe were homeless. An overnight fire had destroyed their rental property and all of their possessions, and the couple and their two children, Gregory, almost 9, and Poe-Joseph, 7, were forced to flee their home in their pyjamas. Today, the Taumaoe family is safe, happy and warm in a new home and they’re slowly rebuilding their lives. But none of that could have happened without the help of the Ashburton community, Mrs Taumaoe said. “Ashburton has been absolutely amazing, we’ve had so many people, even strangers, show up on our doorstep with things for us. I’ve tried to keep a list of all the people who have helped us but there are many I don’t know, who were anonymous,” she said. An example of the generosity of strangers was the offer of a car and trailer while they were at a petrol station accompanied by a $500 gift. “We said a prayer at the petrol station. We felt so blessed.” In the hours after the July 3 fire, the Meehan family gave them a house to use as temporary accommodation while they looked for a new flat and they have had support from their own church, Holy Name and from the New Life Church and the Baptist Church. “This makes us feel special.

Private prison company Serco has admitted it received reports of organised “fight clubs” in its prisons two months ago but will only investigate now, after fight footage was shot and shared online. The fight clubs were a “disgrace” and showed private companies should not run prisons, the Public Service Association said. Serco said it would work with the Department of Corrections, the Ombudsman, and Serco staff from outside Mt Eden Corrections Facility (MECF) to investigate the fight clubs. A report is due on August 28. “I am currently at the prison, overseeing and supporting management myself,” Serco director of operations Scott McNairn said. “We have tough new measures in place to further enhance our regime. This is on top of the existing security activity, which has included a full lockdown search of the prison. There will be more to come.” Mr McNairn said Serco had received relevant parts of Corrections’ report on allegations of organised fights in prisons. “We noted that the allegations were not substantiated, and confirmed that recommended steps were already in place at MECF.” Corrections Association president Beven Hanlon said he’d raised concerns about the prison 18 months ago. - NZME

ADC keen to increase shared smokefree spaces By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton is one of a growing number of district councils around New Zealand looking to up the ante in terms of creating smokefree community spaces. Several years ago Ashburton led the way in creating smokefree environments when it designated urban sportsfields and the Ashburton Skatepark smokefree zones. And on Sunday at this year’s local government New Zealand conference in Rotorua, Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said there was an overwhelming vote by delegates to push smokefree legislation even further, to include prohibiting smoking outside cafes, restaurants and bars. Ashburton supported the remit. During hearings on the council’s longterm plan earlier this year, the Ashburton Cancer Support group made a pitch for the council to extend its smoking ban to include not only areas outside bars and restaurants but to entrances, parking areas and perimeters of libraries, museums, sports, art and heritage centres. Shortly after, Columbus Café opted to

create a smokefree zone around its café. While the council has not yet acted on the request for more areas to be designated smokefree, Mr McKay said this will be considered when the council’s smokefree playgrounds and sports fields policy comes up for review. This is done at least once every three years. “We got a clear message from their submission. This will be taken into account and the public will also have an opportunity to have a say,” Mr McKay said. Another remit on day one of the conference to gain strong support was for the Government to impose a levy on plastic shopping bags at point of sale. For this to be effective Mr McKay said it would have to be applied across the board rather than by individual shops. “If one does it then that immediately creates a price point of difference.” Ashburton also supported a remit calling for the reintroduction of the government’s water and wastewater scheme subsidies. Local authorities have asked the Government to set aside $20 million per year for water supplies and at least the same for wastewater schemes.

the move has a big upside – their school, St Joseph’s is just down the road. “We’ll try to make some new memories and move on with life but we couldn’t have done this without the help and support of our community. We’ll remember these people in our prayers and in our thoughts,” she said.

Arty leaper takes young hunter’s eye By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ben Schikker likes hunting, but would not shoot the hare which is portrayed in Autumn Hare at the Ashburton Art Gallery. The Mt Somers 13-year-old is the owner of the oil on canvas work by Methven artist Clare Naden. It was announced yesterday as the winner of the Ashburton Society of Arts annual exhibition People’s Choice Award. Ben’s parents Kath and Robert Schikker bought the $180 painting for their son after viewing it at the exhibition opening earlier this month. “We walked in here and spotted it and thought this won’t last, and we went and bought it straight away,” Mrs Schikker said. Ben said he received a photo of it sent from his mother’s phone on the night, and was impressed. “It stands out,” he said. He had earlier been to a hare drive and had lots of hare tails

which he would be displaying in his newly-painted bedroom alongside the art work, but thinks the hare in the picture looked too “cool” to shoot. Autumn Hare received 27 of the 660 votes submitted for the People’s Choice Award. Receiving the next highest number of votes was Autumn Fishing on the Matukituki by Galina Kim, priced at $2800. It has also sold. There has been 93 of the 456 works in the exhibition sold to date, and about 2860 people through the art gallery doors to see it, which is a record high. It closes at 4pm on Friday.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

No conviction for unlicensed farmer Charles Richard Collett has been discharged without conviction for illegal possession of a gun. During a sentencing appearance in the Ashburton District Court yesterday, Judge Joanna Maze accepted Collett had used the gun under extenuating circumstances. The court was told Collett, a farmer, was only days away from acquiring a firearms licence when he used an employee’s gun to destroy an animal promptly and fulfil his obligations under the Animal Welfare Act. Under normal circumstances the employee would have destroyed the animal, however a medical emergency prevented this. Judge Maze said a conviction could threaten an established business, and was satisfied it would be out of proportion for the level of offending. She also took into account Collett’s efforts to obtain a firearms licence. Luke Jeffrey Henderson, 36, of Timaru, admitted charges of cultivating and possessing cannabis. Police turned up four cannabis plant in an indoor cultivation operation at Henderson’s address on July 1. They also found 21 grams of harvested cannabis. Henderson was convicted and remanded at large for sentencing on August 17. Anton William Wallace, 36, of Allenton, admitted assault-

ing a woman. He was remanded on bail for sentencing on September 8 to allow time for a restorative justice conference to be convened. Heidi Michelle Birse, of Ashburton, admitted charges of theft and resisting arrest. She will be sentenced on September 8. Stephanie Lynn-Louise Williams, 21, of Hampstead, was convicted and discharged on a theft charge. The stolen property was recovered. Malcolm Joseph Fredrick Stuart Wichman, of Ashburton, was convicted and discharged on an assault charge. Jedekiah Edward DobieCurran, of Ashburton, was convicted on charges of dishonestly getting into a motor vehicle and possessing instruments for car conversion. Dobie-Curran was found in a vehicle which had been stolen from Christchurch some three weeks earlier. A search uncovered the conversion tool kit. He was convicted and remanded at large to return to court for sentencing on September 8. Nicola Jane O’Reilly, 43, of Hampstead admitted a fresh charge of fraud. O’Reilly attempted to cash a stolen cheque but bank staff became suspi-

cious and called the account owner. She was on bail awaiting sentence on a number of other fraud matters, possessing cannabis, drink driving and giving false details to police at the time. She will return to court on September 29. Lloyd Hayes Roper, 17 of Methven, appeared for sentencing on charges of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, careless driving, burglary, two charges of threatening and two of escaping police custody. Defence lawyer Paul Bradford said the offending occurred during a low patch in Roper’s life when he was struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship. He had since returned to school and was keen to pay reparations to the tune of $1100 when he was able to. Judge Maze acknowledged Roper’s remorse and effort to turn his life around before sentencing him to 100 hours community work, nine months supervision and disqualifying him from driving for six months. Bridget Kiri Heke, of Ashburton, admitted charges of burglary and receiving stolen property. The court was told Heke took possession of stolen car tyres worth $7000 in April which she planned to use on her vehicle. Later in the same month she went to an Ashburton recycling business where she as-

sisted another person to remove tools, batteries and other items. Heke was convicted and will be sentenced on September 29. Teautuaine Dean, 23, of Ashburton, admitted two counts of assault, one of wilful damage and one of fraud. He was remanded on bail for sentencing on September 8. Kiri Awhina Albert, 28, of Ashburton, admitted a charge of driving while disqualified. She was disqualified from driving for six month. She was convicted and remanded at large on a charge of breaching community work sentence, which will be dealt with on August 17. Mahaka Aranui, 26, of Netherby met up with some mates at the local Four Square, but instead of going through the door they broke a window to gain after-hours access. Once inside the trio headed straight for the booze aisle – but made enough noise to disturb a baker working in the back of the premises. Police were summoned and officers recognised Aranui on security camera footage. They found him at a McDonald Street address with the stolen alcohol. His excuse? He was out of work and had no money to buy alcohol. Judge Maze noted Aranui’s three previous burglary convictions, saying a custodial sentence was an inevitable starting

point and ordering the presentence report writer to consider all options. He was remanded on bail for sentencing on September 8. Michael Robert Young, 29, of Ashburton, failed to turn up to a restorative justice conference or to report to probation services for a presentencing interview relating to charges of assault and cultivating cannabis. Yesterday he was remanded on bail with strict instructions to report to probation services before 4pm, and to report to police every Monday. Failure to comply would result in a custodial remand, Judge Maze said. Young will be sentenced on September 8. Adam Michael Scott, 26, was sentenced to three months community detention on a charge of assault with intent to injure. The court was told Scott was intoxicated when he threw a hammer at another man during a fight. While police agreed there was an element of self-defence, it was deemed excessive. Scott then repeatedly punched his victim in the head, causing him to collapse. The injured man was eventually helped outside where help was sought. Judge Maze sentenced Scott to three months community detention and 12 months supervision to include judicial monitoring.

In brief

■ UNITED STATES

Mitsubishi apologise to ex-POWs He was forced to toil in enemy mines as a prisoner of war, but James Murphy wasn’t angry or bitter. He was just happy to have lived long enough to hear the Japanese apology he had sought for seven decades. Murphy, a POW during World War Two and now 94 years old, accepted an unprecedented apology from Mitsubishi Materials Corp yesterday on behalf of his fellow POWs, few of whom remain alive, in a ceremony that was both solemn and joyful. “This is a glorious day,” said Murphy, who stood tall and slender in a grey suit at the ceremony and looked much younger than his 94 years. “For 70 years, we wanted this.” Saying they felt a “deep sense of ethical responsibility for a past tragedy,” Mitsubishi’s executives presented the apology privately then publicly to Murphy, of Santa Maria, California, at the Museum of Tolerance at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles.

James Murphy, former POW.

Hikaru Kimura, senior executive officer for Mitsubishi, said through a translator that the company offered a “most remorseful apology” to the about 900 POWs who suffered “harsh, severe hardships” while forced to work in Mitsubishi mines and industrial plants. Murphy, who worked in Mitsubishi’s copper mines in the

war, called the apology sincere, humble and revealing. He stood and shook hands with Kimura and others as cameras clicked throughout the dimly lit museum theatre, with giant American and Japanese flags projected side-by-side behind them. Other POWs subjected sat in the audience along with many

members of Murphy’s family. Stanley Gibson, whose late father worked alongside Murphy in the mines, overcame his fear of flight to come from Scotland to Los Angeles for the ceremony to represent his family after hearing about it in news reports just a few days earlier. On the stage was a photo of the two men being liberated from their captors. “Considering what my father went through it was the least I could do,” Gibson said. The Japanese government has twice apologised to US POWs used as forced laborers during World War Two. But Rabbi Abraham Cooper, an associate dean at the centre whose primary focus in the past has been Holocaust education, said he and the event’s other organisers believe the apology is unprecedented from a major Japanese company. Cooper, Murphy and others who spoke urged more Japanese companies to come forward to express their own remorse. - AP

Italians kidnapped Four Italian construction workers have been kidnapped in Libya near an industrial complex owned by the Italian energy giant Eni in the western city of Mellitah, Italy’s Foreign Ministry said. A ministry statement said the four were employees of the Bonatti construction company. The kidnapping occurred Sunday evening and family members had been informed overnight, Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said in Brussels, adding that intelligence agents were working to get more information on the circumstances of the kidnapping. Libya has slid into chaos since the 2011 overthrow and killing of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. - AP

China cattle deal The federal government in Australia has signed off one of the key conditions to open up live cattle export trade with China. Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce gave his tick of approval to the animal health certification requirements yesterday, which once signed by China, will allow commercial arrangements to commence. A new commercial agreement would be a win for Australia’s live cattle industry, which recently suffered a blow when Indonesia dramatically reduced import quota. - AAP

Smoking cuts need to be evenly applied Stu Oldham

EDITOR

C

ouncils should tighten their own non-smoking rules before asking the government to impose new regulations on rate-paying businesses. That does not mean a new law is a waste of time – if it saves lives, it must be considered – but the dedication to cut smoking must be evenly applied. Local Government New Zealand – of which the Ashburton District Council is a member – wants the government to prohibit smoking in the outdoor areas of cafes, restaurants and bars. LGNZ’s chief executive says it’s a health and education issue. Of course it is: smoking kills and smokers must be reminded of the harm that their habit could cause. Businesses, including bars and cafes, have been smoke-free since the mid-2000s. If they wanted smokers, they had to provide specially designated places for them to smoke. Health officials reckon the change saved 75,000 lives between 2003 and 2008. Meanwhile, businesses expecting patronage to drop attracted many more nonsmokers. This helps explain why some have banned smoking outside and why others acknowledge the slow but sure drift away from smoking made LGNZ’s proposal inevitable. But there remains justified concern that councils are going after the low-hanging fruit in targeting the uber-regulated hospitality sector to test a total, social ban. They have not proposed an outright ban on smoking in all public places and they continue to let people smoke in places over which they wield the most influence. Smokers mightn’t be allowed to smoke in a formerly, specially designated place but they can still smoke at bus stops, outside public buildings, in council car parks and on street furniture. The Ashburton District Council was one of the first in Canterbury to ban smoking in all council playgrounds. It should be bold enough to extend the bans and lead by example. If nothing else, it might help policy makers learn whether people are ready for personal – and sometimes commercial – choices to be made for them.

YOUR VIEW Plastic bags With all the ho-ha over plastic shopping bags and packaging I have often wondered why supermarkets don’t go back to having boxes at the checkout? When I was a child it was so much fun to put the groceries into the boxes and then play with them afterwards at home. Seems a win-win situation to me – helps the supermarkets get rid of their excess cardboard too! I thought perhaps there was some silly law against it nowadays but I was in Queenstown last week and their New World has boxes for you to use! Awesome!

It will be trialled in Auckland before rolling out to Countdown stores in other regions, including Canterbury. Meanwhile, councils at the Local Government New Zealand conference have voted to support a levy on bags to reduce their use. - Editor

onterra is under the gun like never before. Politicians, commentators and journalists are hounding New Zealand’s one and only genuine multi-national from every direction. Two huge drops in a row in the Global Dairy Trade have made our leading dairy processor and exporter vulnerable to intense scrutiny. Fonterra must ask itself fundamental questions. These are about ideal national production levels, the risks in longterm environmental regulatory requirements, international marketing strategies, farmer exposure to the full force of market fluctuations and the nature of Fonterra’s strategic alliances with other big players in the dairy world. Then there is the big one – is Fonterra’s apparent slow progress towards value added product a sensible assessment of the risks and costs inherent in this, or is it just plain indolence and lack of imagination? Fonterra action so far is to announce it will shed 523 jobs. Its leadership seemed reluctant to front this past week and explain to New Zealand farmers how this was going to help by any means other than save $60m a year in salary payments. And there would have been a few farmers doing sums on how much they were paid on average, and, if they were the correct choice to hire in the first place, then why is it also the correct choice to sack them now. Fonterra certainly has the resources to tell its story. It can put the case that we are not dealing with an industry crashing into oblivion. There are clear signs of farmers for their part responding to the dismal market signals of the GDT. The cull rate is higher than normal, which will flow through to fewer cows being milked. Imports of feed supplements, in particular PKE, are down so the milking period

But so much for the farmer adaptions and optimistic medium term outlook. It’s Fonterra and its strategy which is under the critical microscope. That strategy at its core is to produce more and more milk, here in New Zealand and overseas. New Zealand dairy

farmers, as stakeholders in this enterprise, have been led to believe that sheer market power is the best way to a profitable future. It certainly has worked in the past, with other New Zealand processers variously coatailing, niche processing and keeping Fonterra honest. Yet it is Fonterra which dominates the issue of whether agriculture thrives in this country – and therefore the whole national economy. The drive to increase volumes may not be the best or only strategy for the future. The resources within Fonterra are the best and richest for considering such a fundamental question. I just hope that those valuable staff remaining in Fonterra are able to quickly, objectively, imaginatively and bravely confront the present model to make sure it is the best one. And, if it is not, to chuck that model out. If Fonterra doesn’t get it right then I do not expect dairy farmers to be very forgiving.

■ TIWAI POINT

No more ‘sweeteners’ BY PATTRICK SMELLIE The foreign owners of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter have had discussions with Finance Minister Bill English about further sweeteners to keep the New Zealand’s most energy-intensive industrial plant open and been told there is no scope for further assistance, says Prime Minister John Key. The smelter’s majority owner, Anglo-Australian metals giant Rio Tinto, wrung $30 million in cash out of the government in 2013 when it forced its electricity supplier, Meridian Energy, to cut the price of electricity to the smelter. That was following a collapse in global metal prices after the global financial crisis, using the government’s desire to partially privatise Meridian as a bargaining chip to gain both the lower

power price and the additional taxpayer-funded sweetener. It pushed for a $60 million payment, which the government refused, and announced a new contract with Meridian with a trigger date of July 1, 2015 for a decision on whether to keep the plant, which uses one-seventh of the country’s total electricity production, open or to close it in 2017. That deadline was extended late last month to August 3.

Energy industry analysts spoken to yesterday by BusinessDesk believe Rio Tinto and its minority shareholder in the smelter, Sumitomo of Japan, will keep the plant open but may opt to drop 172 Megawatts of the 572 MW available to it under the contracts renegotiated in 2013. Meridian is seeking to stitch together a deal that could see Contact Energy, Genesis Energy and possibly Todd Energy

in a supporting role, stumping up the 172MW that, if Meridian is to supply it, will be more expensive than the deal struck two years ago. The smelter is a major employer in Southland and has invested heavily in more efficient technology and processes, but still struggles for profitability amid low metal prices and oversupply from newer, lower cost Chinese smelters. The lower New Zealand dollar exchange rate is expected to improve its prospects and the current owners are looking for a buyer. Whoever owns the smelter would be liable for perhaps $400 million in site remediation costs if they closed the smelter, meaning Rio Tinto may prefer to run it at a loss than to face the up-front costs of the cleanup required if the smelter closes. - NZME

Water storage ‘next big thing’ BY JAMIE GRAY New Zealand already has about 750,000ha of land under irrigation and has potential to go to 1.1 million ha, but the days of “easy water” are over, Irrigation New Zealand chief executive Andrew Curtis says. He said the next big thing for irrigation would be water storage, which required far more investment and which broadened the scope of what can be achieved. As it stands, about 80 per cent of the country’s irrigation is in the Canterbury-North Otago region, but other parts of the country - such as the drought-prone Far North would clearly benefit, he said. Curtis said there was potential for an additional 200,000ha of land to go under irrigation in Canterbury and North Otago. “There are also some unique opportunities, particularly in Northland. “In the far North, for example, it has been recognised that there is about 10,000ha that can be done,” he said. He said irrigation in Northland could open up opportunities to growers to get vegetables into the Auckland market,

with an early season premium. Parts of the Bay of Plenty held similar potential. For the most part though, the potential was in the Canterbury Plains, which is where most of New Zealand’s flat land lies. Curtis said he expects most of New Zealand’s big ticket irrigation projects to be in place by 2025. In the South Island, irrigation is mostly confined to pastoral use - dairy and more intensive beef and sheep farming. In the North, the potential was in high value crops, such as fruit and vegetables. The problem with irrigation was that too much water going on the land could promote nutrient leaching, but Curtis said technology had gone ahead in leaps and bounds over the last 10 years. These days soil moisture sensors can ensure that the right amount of water goes on the right piece of land at the right time. Curtis said storage schemes can help augment augment river flows and can mimic natural “fresh” to flush out the river system, and can supplement town water supplies water two - NZME water supplies.

In brief Ringing the changes Mega, the file storage and encryption firm, has reshuffled its board after ownership changes last week, with Auckland lawyer Jesse Nguy and investor John Sorensen appointed directors. Sorensen and Nguy, whose firm Jesse & Associates holds the frozen Mega shares owned by Auckland businessman William Yan, replace Shen Zhao Wu, who was Mega’s biggest investor until he exited this month, and Australia-based Brian Clarkson, who left the board yesterday, according to Companies Office filings. - NZME

Chips on hold Food giant Bluebird has clung onto the CC’s corn chip trademarks in New Zealand after facing what it called a “bad faith smash and grab” attempt on the brand by rival Griffin’s. Bluebird retained the trademarks - including the slogan “only CC’s is tasting like these” - despite not using them from 2010 when it introduced Doritos chips into the market instead. While Bluebird, which is owned by Pepsi, began using the trademarks again on some products from February this year, this was well after the intellectual property stoush between it and Griffin’s kicked off. - NZME

Service sector buoyant New Zealand’s services sector, which accounts for about twothirds of the economy, was at its most buoyant level in 11 months in June. The BNZ-BusinessNZ performance of services index rose 0.1 point to a seasonally adjusted 58.2 last month, its highest level since July 2014, and extending a run of continuous expansion since October 2009. All of the five sub-indices were above the 50 reading that separates contraction from expansion. The improved performance in the services sector comes after a similarly upbeat gauge of the manufacturing sector last week. - NZME

Exporters happy Sharemarket analysts are expecting a slew of profit upgrades and new commentary from stock exchange-listed exporters in the upcoming earnings season following the recent slump in the value of the New Zealand dollar, says Andrew Bascand, the managing director of Wellington-based funds manager Harbour Asset Management. Among likely beneficiaries are businesses such as Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Nuplex Industries, Xero and Diligent. “The kiwi dollar is 15 per cent lower than its average year to date,” he told BusinessDesk. - NZME

Summerset buying up Summerset Group, New Zealand’s third-largest listed retirement village operator, has bought land in Warkworth, enabling it to extend its existing village. The Wellingtonbased company bought an extra 2.4 hectares, which would allow it to build 77 retirement units adjacent to its existing Summerset Falls village, it said in a statement. The current village has 220 residents and is almost complete, with a care apartment building due for completion next year, it said. Shares in Summerset last traded at $3.92. The stock has gained 42 per cent so far this year. - NZME

Mental health and keeping young people in the industry are high on the DairyNZ agenda as the industry body prepares to support farmers through the tight times ahead. DairyNZ general manager of development and extension David McCall said last week’s news of a significant tumble in global dairy prices was not good news. The full impact it will have on farmgate milk prices will not be known until Fonterra releases its new forecast in early August. “That will give us a better steer – farmers are prepared for the worst and hoping for the best,” Mr McCall said. DairyNZ will be “upping the ante” and providing more support over the next few months, focusing on three key areas. “The first is to improve the resilience of farmers’ businesses, helping them find ways to capture another $1 per kilo of milksolids to reduce the size of the deficits to get closer to the break-even mark,” Mr McCall said. “The average farmer will lose some-

where between $150k and $200k – they’ve been paying off debt for the past two years and now they are back to square one.” The second focus is to retain good young people in the industry. Mr McCall said sharemilkers in particular will be vulnerable this season. Mental wellbeing is the third area of focus. DairyNZ is targeting a 60 cent cost reduction in producing each kilo of milksolids, bringing the cost down to $3.60, and another 30 to 40c saving in achieving extra production from pasture. “Farmers can either drop out extra feed or make more milk with the same feed they are putting in,” he said. “This will be achieved with really tight spring grazing management, and will be where we will be putting in a lot of support.” We have been working with young sharemilkers and there’s more to do. We need to ensure they know exactly what they are doing with their budgets and to equip them to have conversations with their owners if they are in bother – because it’s in both parties interest to get them through.”

Farmers urged to clear grai By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Arable farmers need to clear all free grain before next season and need to spread their risk across many industries that use feed grain instead of relying on the dairy market, according to a PGG Wrightson grain representative. Andy Wilson told the FAR arable Y’s group that there was “no doubt” that the dairy industry had increased feed grain prices by $100/tonne and that had made growing cereals sustainable. “But I think everybody swung too far to dairy and forgot other opportunities.” Mr Wilson said history told growers that if they had an opportunity to sell grain at $400/tonne they should “throw the kitchen sink at it”. He advised farmers to sell little and often so that the industry was not left with a bottleneck of grain come the end of the year, which then led to pressurised selling and a corresponding drop in grain price. “Keep grain moving. Don’t be afraid to sell one unit load but keep stocks moving. The strength of new crop val-

ues is largely about clearing the decks of old crops.” Farmers needed to understand what was happening in their sector as local market over-supply came about because of a lack of grower market awareness. “It’s you that can really make a difference in profitability through being aware of the factors in the market.” Mr Wilson said he wanted to “ram home” the importance of having a balanced portfolio going forward. “I think for us in Mid Canterbury we’ve got a number of markets we can sell into.” He believed the poultry industry would be coming back into the market once long-term Bulgarian maize and corn purchases costing $360 to $380/tonne landing in Auckland and Christchurch, had dried up. PGG Wrightson continued to talk regularly with the poultry industry, he said. “Certainly poultry will be a factor to a certain extent at the end of this year but more so at the beginning of next year.” Although many thought pork was a

sunset industry, Mr Wilson said PGG Wrightson had continued to work hard to win over support as pig farmers used grain every day. “Dairy has been good and will continue to be there albeit at a different pricing structure but at the same time we have these other markets ticking away in the background.” He warned farmers that there will be nothing sexy about selling barley to dairy farmers this spring. “It’s going to be about price.” Farmers should not be afraid of contracts, he said. “I think contracts are your friends. Don’t be afraid of slow delivery. It’s a reality.” New Zealand grain pricing was “probably” the best in the world at $100 to $150/tonne ahead at the farmgate. However farmers needed to stay engaged in the market and keep stocks moving. “Because if that white knight doesn’t come in spring it’s inevitably going to be carryover. But if we continue to take options it will limit the carryover and make the new crop price more sustainable.”

Farmers are being told to clear any grain left over f

Farmers, sharemilkers need to look after e By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Federated Farmers is urging farm owners and sharemilkers to sit down and negotiate sooner rather than later. In the face of a disastrous GlobalDairyTrade auction where prices declined by 10.7 per cent, national dairy policy advisor Anne Thompson said although the lobby group’s legal team had not yet

dealt with disputes stemming from the current slump, it was important both parties talked about problems as soon as possible. Following reports of two contract milkers allegedly being terminated in the North Island, Ms Thompson said any farmer looking to dismiss contract milkers so that they could take over would need to negotiate a suitable ending as per

their contract terms. A lot of mediation would need to happen this season, she said. “I really suggest it happens around the kitchen table to discuss a sensible outcome because it’s going to be expensive if they do it any other way.” She advised both parties to be honest with each other and not to get angry at the situation.

“You’ve got to get a win-win as both the sharemilker and the farmer are part of that business.” Ms Thompson reiterated the importance of looking after animal health on farm. “Because that’s what they are in the business for. They’ve got to concentrate on doing the best for the animals and the best for their family.”

I really fear for them but they need to concentrate on what they can do …they can’t alter the price of milk.” She said farmers needed to focus on pre-empting practical issues that might

MARKET REPORT DAIRY July weather continues to put pressure on feed as managers carefully ration supplies as they plan toward calving, but lower than average soil temperatures slow growth on saved calving pastures. Whilst many are locked into this years feeding systems, advisers suggest feed should be no more than 5% of total farm costs as budgets and stocking rates are meticulously reviewed, and the price of feed grains and pke are falling steadily. Last weeks auction result was described as disastrous on another 10 per cent fall, driven by an even bigger drop for whole milk powder, and the ANZ dropped its forecast to $3.75 to $4.00/ kg ms. The currency did fall on the back of this poor auction, and economists predict further falls in interest rates, as more debt may be the only solution in the short term. All eyes will be on Fonterra’s 7th August announcement of the advanced rate which will show the market’s true position, and determine the extent of the overdraft pressures for the coming season. Dairy farmers are being urged to use beef genes for non breeding cows to cash in on strong demand for beef, and increase returns from this by-product of milking.

go wrong on farm. “It’s like looking under the bonnet of a tractor to see if a bird built a nest there before they start the tractor up.” Sharemilkers needed to do their numbers, and to take comfort in family and friends, she said. “Just lift your eyes. Take notice of the blue sky … have your child read to you. There are good things out there.”

Some more chilled lamb schedule price lifts this week, but frozen product demand is weak with price levels falling, as processors look to reduce stocks. Lack of confidence remains in our two main markets of the UK and China, and although this week’s big fall in the currency will help, weak short term demand is the main issue. Local trade lamb prices have lifted in the south as butchers compete in a market rapidly running out of supply, and saleyard prime lamb prices moved upwards after months of stagnant values.

Silver Fern Farms state they are on track to reduce their debt to $150 million, and the announcement of the capital readjustment plan is awaited with interest. More scanning results in Canterbury reveal areas affected by the drought have seen a 25 per cent reduction in conception as these farmers feel the effects of the adverse weather.

WOOL Last week’s South Island auction saw a weaker currency help stimulate prices from the last North Island sale, but prices were back from the previous southern sale in late June. Indicator values are ahead 60 to 90c clean per kilogram on last year, and with a shortage of supply some of which is climate induced, prospects look good to maintain these price levels.

BEEF Beef schedule prices continue to lift even in the face of a record Australian drought enforced kill, but with herd rebuilding due to start soon the resulting reduced global supply should ensure NZ’s current strong beef prices should continue. Beef contracts have reached $6/kg for supply in the spring and reports suggest there is strong demand for dairy beef bull calves to rear. AgResearch has developed a new skin test for TB that show less false positives than the present test and if implemented will return big savings to the sector.

DEER The venison schedule rise continues as the chilled season commences and industry plans to expand this business should improve returns at the farm gate. The weakening Euro is helpful in improving the competitiveness of this product but on- farm production levels need to be lifted for better profits.

Piecing together electricity story BY MICHAEL HANRAHAN Sometimes, in historical research, the pieces of a jigsaw can just fall into place without having to search them out. That is what has happened recently in regard to the story of electricity generation in early Ashburton. Electricity was first generated for Ashburton in 1906 by Craddock & Co using a steam engine at a flour mill, and later a traction engine. In 1911 the Ashburton Borough Council took over and installed a single-cylinder engine to pump water in a building in Kermode Street as well as generating electricity. The following year, two more twin-cylinder engines were bought and installed in the same Kermode Street building. We had an article on the subject on this page on September 6, 2011, but it finished at that point. The story had an unfinished feel – were those engines the last the council owned before the Government began supplying electricity to the area? Before the building was demolished earlier this year we examined it and photographed it, but there were few signs of its former use and few of the building features apparent in the old photos were still visible. More recently the second part of the jigsaw dropped into place. We were contacted by a repre-

The first engine used to generate electricity in Ashburton – a single cylinder engine made by Tangyes of Birmingham

sentative of the National Steam Centre in Melbourne, Australia, an organisation that operates a large industrial machinery museum. He enclosed a photo from a 1922 Shell catalogue showing a large three-cylinder diesel engine generating electricity in Ashburton, New Zealand, and said their museum had a similar engine in its collection that was being restored.

The final Ashburton plant – A 200hp Willans three-cylinder air blast diesel engine purchased by the Ashburton Borough Council from the Woolston Tanneries Company after the Ross Goldmining Company was placed in liquidation.

His specific request was to find the make of the Ashburton engine as he was researching the Willans make. The only references he had found to Willans engines in New Zealand were at Ross, Feilding and Miramar. The next part of the jigsaw came easily. A quick search on the Papers Past website found in the West Coast Times that Ross Goldfields Ltd had in 1912 accepted a tender from Willans agents Turnbull and Jones to install a 250hp three-cylinder diesel engine. Then, in 1916, the Goldfields company went into liquidation with the Christchurch firm Woolston Tanneries purchasing all their assets. That might have been the end of the story, with no proof the Ross engine came to Ashburton, except for the next piece of the jigsaw. The museum is in the process of rehousing the Ashburton District Council archives and already has the Ashburton Borough Council minute books. With an idea of the dates we were able to quickly find the right entry.

In July 1916 the Borough Council came to an agreement with the Ashburton Electric

Supply Company to purchase from Woolston Tanneries a three-cylinder diesel engine situated at Ross. The council’s water engineer, George Guild, was authorised to purchase the engine and to travel to Ross to supervise its dismantling. It was March the following year before the engine was installed in Ashburton – the power house had to be enlarged and new generators bought. Finally, in the museum’s archives is a report written by H. G. Kemp, who for many years was secretary of the Ashburton Electric Power Board. He says that in 1923 the Borough Council ceased generating power and the plant was taken over by the Ashburton Electric Power Board. Supply was then obtained from the Coleridge Power Station with the diesel engine being kept as a standby plant. It ran until 1938 when the crankshaft broke and the engine was scrapped, ending the story of electrical generation in Ashburton as well as giving our Australian contact more information for his research.

Another view of the three-cylinder Willans engine.

The building where Ashburton’s electricity was generated for many years. It was demolished earlier this year.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return - almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 - the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. This week the Ashburton Museum honours:

In brief Warning for time-wasters Former Springboks coach Nick Mallett has sent out a World Cup warning to teams who attempt to protect small leads by running down the clock. Mallett said Welshman Nigel Owens’ officiating in the test at Brisbane needs to be noted on a key point. “You have to be very careful to play out the clock by using your forwards in little pods off the loose scrums because northern hemisphere refs don’t like it,” Mallett wrote. “They look to the side with the ball and their players for sealing off the ball, and that’s exactly what happened. We were penalised and it gave them the opportunity to kick for the corner.” - AFP

Still a Roosters man Sonny Bill Williams insists he is still in All Black mode after visiting Sydney - just two days after the All Blacks beat Argentina in Christchurch. The 29-year-old has struggled with injuries during this year’s Super Rugby campaign and he’s not travelling to South Africa this week with the All Blacks. Williams was in Sydney to witness the Roosters hammer the Warriors 24-0 in the NRL and he was in the sheds after the game. Daniel Carter also hasn’t travelled to South Africa for the next round of Rugby Championship fixtures but Steve Hansen assured the decision to leave the pair at home reflects the All Blacks long term ambitions for this year. Hansen said: “Sonny has got a busy schedule so we thought he’d be better having some time at home.” - NZME

■ RUGBY

Draw disappoints both sides By Erin TaskEr An 8-all draw left both Ashburton College and Marlborough Boys’ College first XVs feeling somewhat deflated on Saturday. The UC Championship secondary schools’ rugby match was played at the Ashburton Showgrounds in cold conditions, and Ashburton College was eager to get a win to move it up the leaderboard towards the top eight as the competition heads into its final stages. While they didn’t get that win, they did come away with some points to put on the board.

Ashburton College coach Dave McCrea said his side started strongly and was rewarded early. “We scored a really good try to Junior Fulvasau on the wing. “We were attacking down the right side and he went over in the corner,” McCrea said. A shoulder injury to influential number eight Cam McLeod - which means he’s unlikely to play against St Bede’s this weekend - followed and Ashburton College went off the boil. “They dominated our lineouts; we didn’t get much lineout ball at all,” McCrea said.

“Then they scored a try with about 10 minutes to go in the first half.” Five-all at half-time, the game was anyone’s. Marlborough struck first in the second half, landing a penalty to put them ahead by three, before Ashburton College’s Kieran Hunt – making a comeback after a long stint on the sideline with a cheek injury – levelled the scores up again with a penalty of his own. Both teams produced attacking opportunities as the clock wound down, and the last throw of the dice was the home side’s.

“We put a kick up for the wing in the corner and both wingers went up for it, and they caught it, and we didn’t,” McCrea said. It was an exciting end to what had been a “stop-starty” game, McCrea said, and while he was disappointed not to win, he knows his team played well and produced plenty of opportunities – that was something to be pleased with. “We played a lot better than the game before,” McCrea said. That game was a hefty loss to St Andrew’s, and next up for College is an away trip to play St Bede’s in Christchurch.

All Black Thomson joins the Rebels’ cause The Melbourne Rebels have found their replacement for departed co-captain Scott Higginbotham, with former All Black and ex-pat Ashburtonian Adam Thomson signing on for the 2016 Super Rugby season.

A blindside flanker or No.8, Thomson was a member of the New Zealand squad which won the 2011 World Cup and played 29 Tests. Like Higginbotham, Thomson is a big ball-running forward

with a knack for scoring tries, having bagged 21 in 83 Super Rugby games. He made his name in Super Rugby with the Highlanders and played consistently in a struggling Queensland Reds team last season.

The 32-year Thomson said he was looking forward to joining a young team on the rise. “I think my game will fit well with the Rebels and allow me to play some quality football.” - AAP

Veteran All Black centre Conrad Smith has described the Wallabies’ last-gasp victory over the Springboks as a “strange result”. “I thought a lot of what South Africa did was pretty impressive,” Smith said, shortly after the All Blacks arrived in Johannesburg where they will play South Africa on Sunday morning. “I was pretty impressed with not just the (Springboks’) midfield, but the way the whole team played.” - NZME

Giteau ruled out The intriguing battle for Wallabies inside backs spots has taken another twist after Matt Giteau was ruled out of Saturday’s Test against Argentina. Giteau was cleared of any serious damage after scans on his nose and chest after he copped a battering during his first Test appearance in four years in Saturday’s 24-20 comeback win over South Africa. But coach Michael Cheika ruled the inside centre out of the Test against the Pumas in Mendoza as a precautionary move because of his sternum soreness, with Christian Leali’ifano called into the travelling squad. - AAP

Crackdown on bars Auckland Council will be cracking down on bars that want to screen Rugby World Cup games after hours, with each venue having to put on special events to stay open. Half the All Blacks’ UK pool games in September and early October will be outside normal opening hours for most bars. New Zealand’s first match, against Argentina, is at 3.45am (NZ time), the next one at 7am and the last two at 8am. - NZME

In brief

■ RUGBY

‘We’re real contenders’ By Erin Tasker When Mid Canterbury challenged for rugby’s Ranfurly Shield last year, prop Simon Fleetwood wasn’t there. He had a more pressing engagement. Fleetwood, 37, missed the game against Counties-Manukau because he was in the United Kingdom getting married. The wedding had already been and gone come game day, and new wife Vicki did give him permission to cut the trip short and fly home to play. But he didn’t. The wedding was planned before the shield challenge date was set, and Fleetwood wanted to relax and enjoy the start of his married life. This year though, Fleetwood will be there. He’s part of the 23-man squad that will travel to Napier tomorrow to take on Hawke’s Bay in a Ranfurly Shield challenge; something few players get to experience in their playing careers. For Fleetwood, whether he starts the game or comes off the bench, he knows Thursday night’s game is going to be special. He’s never played at McLean Park in Napier, and he’s never played in a Ranfurly Shield challenge. It will be a night to remember, whatever the outcome. “It’s going to be something that I won’t forget. “You talk to the likes of Geoff Frew and people like that, they had a very strong team in that era and it was pretty exciting times and they got pretty close. “To just have the opportunity is great.

“But it’s on television so you want to make a decent fist of it and promote Mid Canterbury rugby.” Fleetwood said he and his teammates were heading north with belief; belief that they had what it took to win. “It’s all about doing the basics right. It’s just another game,” he said. “It will be about playing for 80 minutes, and that will be the difference.” He’s watched the two other Heartland team challenges over the past fortnight. “Wairarapa Bush tried hard, but they didn’t scrummage very well. “You need to be aggressive and in their face, and I was impressed with the way Horowhenua-Kapiti stuck to a pretty simple game plan, but they were all on the same page and stuck with it. “To be four points off the pace with 15 to 20 minutes to go is pretty good.” Having Auckland-based import Murray Williams – a former Japanese international – at first-five will mean the Mid Canterbury ship is in good hands, and across the park there’s a mixture of youth and experience which will gel well together. Fleetwood knows he’s the grandad of the team at 37, and knows that his days playing rugby at representative level may be numbered, so to play in a Ranfurly Shield challenge – and even win the prestigious shield – could top off a long and fruitful career. “We are going up there to more than give it a go. We fancy ourselves as real contenders.” The game will kick off at 7.35pm on Thursday night.

The New Zealand Para-Swimming team have shown themselves as a force to be reckoned with at next year’s Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. The team of eight has been in stunning form across the six-day IPC Swimming World Championships, wrapping up the event with 16 medals and securing five Rio 2016 slots for the nation. Mary Fisher and Sophie Pascoe were the biggest contributors to the medal haul with a total of 11 medals between them including a staggering six gold, three silver and two bronze, while team-mate Nikita Howarth won the further two gold medals. - NZME

Advantage over in V8s

Simon Fleetwood has won plenty wearing the black and white of Methven - now he’s chasing a Ranfurly Shield.

Steve Smith’s star continues to rise Steve Smith continues to be mentioned in the same breath as Don Bradman, having led Australia to their biggest turnaround in Ashes history. The tourists bounced back from a 169-run loss in Cardiff, thumping England by 405 runs at Lord’s yesterday. Based purely on run margins, there has never been such a big difference between two Tests in an Ashes series. Smith was the unmovable force behind it, posting his maiden double-century in the first innings to lift Australia to a total of 8(dec)-566 and then scoring 58 in the second innings. His match aggregate re-

turned him to the top of the world batting rankings ahead of South African AB de Villiers. Smith’s knock of 215 is the second highest Australian score at the home of cricket, bettered only by Bradman’s 254 in 1930. The 26-year-old is also the first Australian since Bradman in 1934 to make a 200-plus score and a 50-plus score in an Ashes Test. His Test average is now 58.52. That figure is topped by only one Australian to have played more than 15 Tests - Bradman. In the 20 out of 30 Tests that he has played, Smith averages 96.61 as compared to Bradman’s 113.66 when Australia have batted first. Smith’s incredible purple

The Ashburton Indoor Bowls Paterson Trophy side were unsuccessful in their bid for a third consecutive victory on the weekend. The title fell the way of Canterbury, but not without the Ashburton side making them work. Heading into the final round of play on Sunday morning in Blenheim, Ashburton were within range of chasing down Canterbury but were unable to pin them back and finished in second. Canterbury finished up with 122 points while Ashburton were next on 113.5. Mat Bassett finished up leading point scorer across all six teams in the playoff. He won 13 of his 15 matches over the weekend and also drew in one other. Mike Lawson was next best with 11 wins and a draw while Matt Markham picked up 11 wins. Ashburton will now focus on retaining the annual quadrangular representative tournament this weekend when they head to Dunedin to take on South Canterbury, Otago and North Otago.

■ CRICKET

By Rob Forsaith

Bowlers miss hat-trick

patch shows no sign of stopping, but the gifted righthander has plenty of work to do before comparisons extend beyond the statistical realm and into reality. Named man of the match, Smith was simply happy to bank a big score after missing out in the first Test. “We were all disappointed with the way we performed in Cardiff,” Smith said. “I was pretty keen to do well this time around, I haven’t had such a great run with the bat at Lord’s.” Smith suggested he had to tweak his approach in England. “The wickets are generally a little bit slower than they are back home,” he said. “You’ve got to wait for the ball a lot

more. The ball does a lot more than it does back home. “You need to be really patient, it’s about letting balls go.” That may have been the case during Smith’s 512-minute masterclass on days one and two, but yesterday was more about hit and giggle. Smith embraced his inner funkmeister at the crease, shuffling around the crease and making good use of trick shots to score 58 off 48. “It was a little bit of fun,” Smith said of the knock. Michael Clarke paid tribute to Smith and Chris Rogers, who shared a record 284-run partnership. “They deserve a lot of credit in halting the momentum that England had from the first Test,” Clarke said. - AAP

V8 Supercars has dismissed pitlane speculation Ford’s Prodrive Racing Australia might be gaining an unfair aerodynamic edge on its rivals. Concerns over the team’s new FG-X Falcons were aired publicly during the Townsville 400 event earlier this month, where Prodrive’s Mark Winterbottom extended his championship lead with a clean sweep of race wins. Holden Racing Team owner Ryan Walkinshaw quipped during that weekend’s television coverage that he was “a big fan of their aero package, not so much them as a team” when asked about Prodrive’s recent domination. - AAP

Luke back for Bunnies South Sydney hooker Issac Luke says his week on the sidelines has stoked his competitive fires as the club faces being without Cameron McInnes for the rest of the NRL season. After serving a week’s suspension, Luke will make his timely comeback against Newcastle at ANZ Stadium on Saturday. Luke is winding down on his nine-year tenure at Redfern and will hand the reins to McInnes next season when he join the Warriors. - AAP

In brief

■ XTRAVAGANT

Colt eyes Guineas start The optimism behind the naming of Xtravagant was rewarded on debut and the rising three-year-old is now taking his first early steps toward a Group One spring target. He delivered in fine style at the first time of asking with a runaway victory at Hastings in the autumn. “Of our colts to race, he is right at the top of the pecking order,” said Jamie Richards, who prepares Xtravagant with Stephen Autridge. “Obviously we will be shooting for the stars with him and the 2000 Guineas at Riccarton is the logical place to go. “He’s had his first easy gallop and he’ll be headed to the Te Teko trials and we’ll make a plan from there. “He’ll probably have a run somewhere and then perhaps go to Hastings for the Guineas. “He’s coming up very well and he’s an exciting colt.” The stable wasn’t surprised with Xtravagant’s first-up performance following a patient preparation. “He needed quite a bit of early education at the trials and we always rode him back and taught him to come through horses,” Richards said. “When we took him to the races he jumped and led, got further in front and he ran time. He had a month off after that and he’s coming up well again.” - NZME

Cameron looking good Matt Cameron has taken the rest of the season off with consecutive jockeys’ premierships all but in the bag. Currently holidaying in Hawaii, the 28-year-old won the crown in 2013-14 with 143 winners with his tally this season at 154 and 18 clear of Danielle Johnson. Cameron has won nine stakes races this term with a highlight his victory in the Gr.1 New Zealand Stakes aboard Sakhee’s Soldier. - NZME

Cup preparation While a number of North Island trainers have had their Winter Cup plans disrupted, it’s game on for Kenny and Lisa Rae. The Ruakaka duo’s hopes for Absolut Excelencia in the eStar-sponsored feature at Riccarton on August 1 were boosted on Sunday when the five-year-old won the Oamaru Cup. The abandonment the previous day of the New Plymouth meeting denied cup hopes including Authentic Paddy, Duffers Creek, Biologist, North And South, Khemosabi and Illuminati a vital lead-up outing. - NZME

21/7

YOUR STARS ARIES (MAR 21-APR 19): A dedicated and careful approach to work will bring success your way. Family or children may prefer to have more daily structure or a sense of security and you’ll know how to provide this. TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20): If you’re looking for a commitment from a partner (business or personal) you could find it now. It’s a good day to ask someone if you can depend on them more. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21): A work incentive should begin to provide you with a more structured routine. Finances could begin to even out, especially if you’ve blown the budget, although careful planning may still be necessary. CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 22): If you’re super-clear about your intentions, someone close will respond favourably. It’s a good day to set yourself or someone close clear boundaries. LEO (JUL 23-AUG 22): If you’ve been waiting for news, it should arrive today, and it will provide you with security, if only because you’ll know where you stand. Someone close may present you with a mystery. VIRGO (AUG 23-SEP 22): You’ll gain a great deal of stability or an improved sense of purpose today especially in connection with a group, a friend, an organisation or a club. You’ll enjoy a boost in finances or in self-esteem. LIBRA (SEP 23-OCT 23): If you’re looking for security at work or within your direction in general, today’s events should provide it. It’s a good day to look for work or to improve your looks and self-esteem. SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 21): You’ll gain the sense that your plans can work out, especially regarding travel, study or a hobby. Check details of plans to avoid disappointment. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22-DEC 21): Work and health should benefit from clear signs of progress, even if you must put in extra effort today. A reunion should bring a smile to your face, although it may impress on you how fast time flies! CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 19): Your relationship with a friend, a group or an organisation should run more smoothly as you begin to appreciate the stability and security of a mutually beneficial arrangement. AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 18): This is an excellent day to seek direction, especially at work and regarding health. If you’re on holiday, you’ll enjoy looking at new ways to structure your days and to enjoy spare time. PISCES (FEB 19-MAR 20): Travel, study and your spiritual interests should provide you with fulfilment. Build strength through favourite hobbies. Someone may prove their loyalty.

Mid Canty dominates turf war Mid Canterbury’s recent dominance against the West Coast on the hockey turf continued on Sunday. The two regions’ A and B men’s representative hockey teams faced off in Ashburton

on Sunday in an annual fixture, and the Mid Canterbury B team came away with a 3-all draw, while the A team won 4-3. Mid Canterbury A’s Hugh Copland said that his side was

looking comfortable ahead 4-1 before the West Coast came back at them and got back to 4-3. “We were pretty comfortable all the way through the match though, apart from the final

five minutes, but even then we were right on attack,” Copland said. Mid Canterbury A’s goals came from Copland, Paul Everest, Ryan Wilson and Hayden Sinclair.

The unbeaten day continued Mid Canterbury’s recent good form in the annual hockey matches played against the West Coast side, including last year’s win over on the West Coast.
