■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Seclusion rooms outdated, in the past

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Seclusion rooms in Ashburton schools are outdated and a thing of the past.

The Ministry of Education has begun a reviewal of all schools in New Zealand to determine if seclusion rooms are still being used.

Allenton School Principal Graham Smith said he had been contacted by the Ministry yesterday and reassured them there were no seclusion rooms at Allenton School and would find it difficult to find any in Ashburton.

“No Ashburton schools are using seclusion rooms,” he said.

Smith said the only time he could remember a seclusion room being used in the Canterbury region was the McKenzie Residential School, a school that provided special education to students with behavioural difficulties, which was closed by the Ministry in January, 2013.

The Chief Ombudsman called for an investigation into schools using seclusion rooms after a Wellington primary, Marama Central School, was revealed to have locked an 11-year-old autistic boy in a seclusion room 13 times over nine days.

Smith said he felt sorry

for the school because it clearly indicated they were under resourced and had not been provided with the necessary tools to deal with problematic students.

“It’s probably because they had no support.”

The closest Allenton School had to a seclusion room is to sit the student in a room connected to the office and they are monitored by a teacher, he said.

“The only time we would physically restrain a child is if they are physically endangering themselves or others.”

Hampstead School Principal Peter Melrose said using seclusion rooms to control children was an outdated practice.

“It’s not something we have seen as an option.”

Tinwald School Principal Peter Livingstone said he understood why some schools used seclusion rooms but he did not see it as an effective way to stop misbehaving students.

He said there were times when students need to be put in an easily accessed and monitored room by themselves to calm down before they can be reasoned with.

Seclusion rooms are a short-term solution and do neither the school nor the student any long-term benefit, Livingstone said.

■ CHERTSEY SCHOOL

Pets take over the school playground

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Baas and barks alike could be heard yesterday afternoon at Chertsey School as part of their annual Pet Day. More than 100 students from Chertsey School and Dorie School relished the chance to show off their pampered pets.

Chertsey School principal Sean

Wansbrough said lambs, calves, big and small dogs, fish, cats, guinea pigs, budgies and soft toys were all on show.

Along with the animals the year one to eight could take part in some activities which included lassoing a wooden horse, naming farming tools, go-karts and milk drinking competition and a cake raffle, he said.

Wansbrough said the students had

a chance to win themselves a ribbon or a certificate when they were judged by ANZ. He said they were judged on the breed, what they knew about their pet and what it took to look after them.

Wansbrough said they also held a parade for the animals and was marked on the best dressed, the most obedient and friendliest animal – which there were plenty.

Odd shoes fashionable at Allenton

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Wearing odd shoes was the fashion of choice at Allenton School yesterday to raise money for children affected by cancer.

From gold coin donations, the 390 Allenton School students managed to raise more than $500 for the southern regions Camp Quality as

part of their annual Odd Shoe Day. The premise behind the day was for the students to wear mufti for the day and donate a gold coin donation with a catch – the students had to wear odd shoes.

Allenton School Principal Graham Smith said the money was going to a “wonderful cause”.

He said it was the third year the

school had run the event and they loved doing it.

“I’m very pleased with how much we have managed to get.”

Smith said there was a lot of support not just from the parents but from the other staff as well who liked to get involved.

“Even the staff seem to put the odd shoes on.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT

District on a growth roll

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District’s population is growing at a faster rate than many of its neighbours, but its number of over 65s is also increasing at a faster rate than many parts of the country.

And that, says mayor elect Donna Favel, means the district needs to make sure it is well prepared for a growing group of people who will have different needs.

There were already many good facilities that were senior friendly but there were always things that could be done better, she said.

“Possibly we can improve our footpaths to remove tripping hazards, provide more ageing related fitness programmes. Community House have networking meetings every two months and many of the programmes discussed are specifically targeted to the ageing population.”

Provisional figures released by Statistics New Zealand put the district’s population at 33,700, up 1.6 per cent in one year. While that population continues to be weighted towards the 40-64 age group, numbers have now dropped from 32.8 per cent of the

population in 2013 to 32 per cent today.

At the same time the over 65s have moved from representing 6.4 per cent of the population in 2013 to 7.1 per cent today.

The district’s median age is 39.2 years almost two years higher than the national median.

In terms of housing needs for an ageing population, Favel said the council had no plans to increase its own housing stocks.

Staff, howere were currently analysing the data around population dynamics to look at the strategic issues of housing stock and ac-

cess to services for people as they retire. This data would help when the council looked at spending in the next long term plan, she said.

“Commercial ventures in this area will determine economic viability around supply and demand.”

Queenstown Lakes (7.1 per cent) and Selwyn (6.7 per cent) are the two fastest growing areas in New Zealand., The national growth average was 2.1 per cent.

The youngest median is in Hamilton, 31.8 years and the oldest in Thames Coromandel, 52. 4 years.

Bucking good fun at Methven Rodeo By michelle NelSoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Twenty-four broncs are primed and ready for action when the gates open for the Methven Rodeo tomorrow.

The horses spent the best part of the year running free on Rakaia Gorge stations before they were trucked down to Methven a couple of weeks ago.

Since then they have all been run through the chute several times to familiarise them with the set up before the big day. Yesterday they were all checked by a vet to ensure they are fit for the task ahead of them.

The horses will be joined by up to 18 others borrowed from the Waimate Rodeo. Each will buck for just a few seconds at tomorrow’s event, before returning to their high country homes until next year.

While the sport of rodeo has courted controversy in recent years, all the horses in tomorrow’s lineup would have been long dead had they not found a new career as broncs, committee member Sarah Sauer said.

With the exception of one horse, all have been broken to saddle but proved unsuitable for the task.

Take for example Right as Rain,

Methven Rodeo committee member Andrew Hart has a chat with veteran bronc Stag ahead of tomorrow’s event.

bronc. Bulls and steers will arrive on site tomorrow morning, along with the 310 competitors registered for the second rodeo of this season’s circuit.

The rodeo will get underway at 8.30am with the second division calf rope-and-tie and will culminate with the open bull ride.

As well as the rodeo action

there will be plenty of action outside of the ring, along with food and clothing stalls.

Students from a Methven school have been enlisted to pick up rubbish as a fundraiser on Monday.

Proceeds from the rodeo are redistributed to community groups.

Neil Brown named deputy mayor Ashburton District Mayor-elect Donna Favel has announced her deputy mayor will be councillor Neil Brown.

Favel announced his appointment and her team of committee chairs for the new council yesterday.

Brown will also return for his third term as chair of the Finance and Business Support Committee.

His deputy chair will be new councillor Leen Braam.

Councillor Stuart Wilson will return as chair of the Service Delivery Committee, with councillor Russell Ellis as deputy chair.

The Environmental Services Committee will be chaired by councillor Peter Reveley and deputy chair will be new councillor Diane Rawlinson.

Favel said the appointments achieved a balance of experience and diversity.

“With seven new faces around the table, we are lucky to have councillors Brown and Wilson returning to their committee chairs to offer their wealth of experience and I am confident our new councillors will work hard to overcome the steep learning curve ahead.”

The new councillors and Mayor underwent two days of induction with Ashburton District Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel this week where legislation, a general and financial overview, and important matters for council and were discussed.

“These councillors were chosen by the community to represent the district and I am excited about the enthusiasm all councillors have shown for starting the new term,” Favel said.

The new council will be sworn in at the inaugural meeting on October 26.

■ ADVANCE ASHBURTON

Scholarship changed his life

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 201016-TM-0070

Sam Ruck was a guest speaker at a recent Advance Ashburton celebration.

When Sam Ruck headed to Otago University the only plan he had was never to return to Mid Canterbury to live and work; five years later he’s happily employed by a local law firm.

And that change of heart had everything to do with winning a scholarship from Advance Ashburton, he says.

Ruck was a guest speaker on Thursday night at an Advance Ashburton celebration and said that winning a scholarship from a home-grown organisation made him realise how much the Ashburton community cared about its young people and their future.

His change of heart started during his third year of study when he went on an Outward Bound course. Three days solo in the bush meant plenty of time for looking at life and where he wanted his to go.

Winning the scholarship firmed those ideas up. Travel cemented them.

“It provided the catalyst to achieve and it provided the realisation that this was a place to return to for your career.

“The entire time I was away I realised how lucky we are to live in a place like this, to be part of a community that cares.”

His Advance Ashburton scholarship was the sole reason he was a solicitor in Ash-

burton not in Auckland or Wellington, Ruck said. He was offered a job in Ashburton and one in Auckland. His friends thought he was mad to turn down the chance of life in the city for life in the country. Ruck knew something they didn’t.

“The feeling that your community wants you is not to be under-estimated. All it took was for one local firm to want to invest their time in me and instead of leaving Mid Canterbury probably for ever I’m here.”

As a community the Ashburton District produced some remarkable individuals across a range of fields and they would all benefit the community if they returned home to live and work, he said.

“We grow talent then we should let it go and grow and then bring it back.”

Ruck was Ashburton College head boy in 2010 and now works for Argyle, Welsh, Finnigan.

Applications are now open for scholarships for 2017. Almost $50,000 is on offer from the Advance Ashburton Community Foundation across a range of areas.

A new scholarship has been introduced this year for an environmental studies student.

Applications close on November 14 and more information and application forms are available on www.advanceashburton. org.nz.

Advance Ashburton, from zero to hero in 13 years

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Thirteen years ago the Advance Ashburton Foundation was a big idea known only to a few people.

Over those years, however, a small team of supporters who had a big commitment to their community have worked tirelessly to raise not only the organisation’s profile but also the amount of money it has invested.

It was established as a foundation that would invest donations and bequests and from the interest generated, would fund community organisations and projects and provide individual scholarships.

During its early years the foundation’s trustees worked tirelessly to raise its profile and slowly the

donations and bequests started to flow.

Today investments have just topped $10 million with a further $21 million promised in bequests.

This week the foundation showed how far it had come when it announced a new $450,000 funding deal over three years for Ashburton Hospital that will see it become a Rural Health Academic Centre.

Two training simulators have also been funded and these will be an integral part of the project which has been described as “catalytic’ by the health sector.

“The new centre is a wonderful development for our hospital, the rural medical profession and provides further stability for health

Trevor Croy services in the Ashburton District,” he said. In announcing the hospital project Advance Ashburton chairman Trevor Croy said it

had been developed because local donors wanted to support the hospital and our health services.

As the only Rural Health Academic Centre in New Zealand with two “high fidelity” simulators, Ashburton would be unique in the field of rural medicine training.

Groups of rural specialist doctors and nurses will now be able to train at the hospital. It will also see the appointment of three part-time specialist staff including a rural health researcher.

Through the funds invested, the foundation gives away about $400,000 each year and applications are open for the next round of scholarship applications.

This will see about $50,000 given away to students to help with

study costs in 2017.

Scholarship are granted across a range of areas including health sciences and trades training.

This year a new scholarship is available for students of environmental studies through a bequest in the will of Ian Glassey.

Scholarships are also given to young people to attend Outward Bound courses.

The generosity of people in the Ashburton District meant major transformational projects were able to be supported, Croy said.

Investments are overseen by a local committee and a grants committee made up of trustees and independent experts from within the community assesses project proposals to decide where those funds are distributed.

Motorcyclist injured A person has been transported to Christchurch Hospital following a motorcycle accident on the Methven Rakaia Highway.

Ashburton Volunteer Firefighters were called out but were stood down by police. A motorcyclist was hit by a flicked up stone and St John was alerted at 12.22pm.

Ambulance crew at the scene called for a helicopter to transport him to Christchurch hospital because of the nature of the patient’s injuries.

Ferry turned back It’s been a frustrating start to the weekend for some travellers on one of the Interislander ferries.

A sailing of the Aratere from Wellington to Picton was turned back yesterday, due to technical issues affecting the propulsion system. A KiwiRail spokesperson said the ship has been returned to Wellington as a safety precaution.

They said the safety of the ship and its passengers was never compromised, engineers are working to remedy the problem and they hoped to have it fixed yesterday .

Prison assaults rise Assaults on prison guards by inmates have increased by more than 100 in the last year. But the Department of Corrections say that a three-year staff safety plan will “directly contribute to making prisons a safer environment”.

The Department of Corrections Annual Report was released at 4pm yesterday and revealed that in the 2015/16 year just under 20 staff were seriously assaulted by inmates while on the job, and more than 450 minor and non-injury assaults were also reported. In 2014/15 there were less than 10 assaults on staff classed as serious.

■ ASHBURTON HOSING RESTRICTIONS

Focus on SMART watering Ashburton residents might not have a hosing restriction-free summer this year but they will have access to an education programme that will show them how to make the best of the water they have.

The SMART watering campaign was trialled in Ashburton last year. It is built on a similar

programme that helps farmers achieve targeted and efficient water use.

Last year the programme was hailed a success when it was run in conjunction with a hosing restriction-free summer.

Ashburton District councillors decided that canning hosing restrictions would not be repeated

this year in spite of water consumption levels remaining well under allocation limits.

The focus of this year’s water efficiency campaign will be on drip irrigation using timers and controllers.

It also focuses on storing and using rainwater and on watering in the early morning or evening

to maximise impact.

IrrigationNZ is the driver behind the SMART watering programme and while it is based around the rural experience, it has been adapted to urban needs.

Its driver is sustainable watering that conserves the water supply.

■ BLACK BIRD RETIRED

Crumb cartoons come to an end

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Those of you who have read the Guardian for a number of years may have noticed something has been missing.

The much loved Crumb cartoon retired earlier this month, at the old age of over 2500 strips, not years.

Cartoonist David Fletcher, who lives in Auckland, said he decided to retire the cartoon strip after eight years.

“I’m still working as a cartoonist, but after two and a half thousand Crumb strips I decided it was time for a change,” he said.

The strip first started around 2008 and appeared six days a week, every week, something which is no easy feat.

Fletcher said it usually takes about two hours to make a cartoon, the first hour is usually spent coming up with an idea and then another hour is needed to draw it.

Fletcher said this dictated a lot of how he could live his life, because he needed to have a strip six days a week he would often end up doing two on a Friday so he could have a weekend off.

Cartooning started as a hobby for Fletcher, who began doodling as a child while growing up in the UK. He first started working in the industry in 1983 as an il-

The Last Crumb. lustrator and cartoonist for the New Zealand Herald.

Fletcher said he never considered cartooning as an occupation, but rather as a hobby.

After the Footrot Flats cartoons had some success he decided to go freelance and drew for a number of organisations, including doing The Politician which appeared in the Dominion Post and the New Zealand Herald for a number of years.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

The strip now runs in papers in Europe and is reaching up to 6000 strips made.

However, Crumb was the last cartoon of his to feature in New Zealand publications.

Fletcher said most of his work is now for private companies in America or Europe who want cartoons for their websites.

One of the companies is CA Technologies, a US software

company, that has been keeping him busy leading up to a convention on November 14.

As for Crumb, and cartoon strips, Fletcher said he quite enjoyed doing them and it was nice getting reader reaction from the strips.

“After 2500 strips, there’s less and less things you can come up with.

“There’s only so many things a black bird can do,” he said.

■ CHANDLER HOUSE

House sell-off a success

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the Billy Thomas house at 9 Mona Square has gone from Ashburton’s townscape, many of its special features will live on in building projects around the Ashburton District.

Last weekend owners Alister Lilley and Graeme Church held a pre-demolition sale where any and everything that could be unhinged, un-nailed, lifted up or dug out was sold off.

They’d tried to sell the old house that had for many years served as one of Ashburton’s busiest and most loved restaurants and bars, Chandler House, but the removal challenge was just too tough.

They decided instead to offer the community a chance to buy whatever they could take away before the demolition crews moved in.

And that sell-off was a huge success, Lilley said.

“We were delighted with the response. There were about 50 people queued up and waiting when we opened the door on Saturday. A lot were there to buy but there were plenty of people just wanting to have a look around and most of those had stories to tell.

“The first item to sell was a half round window and the next a room full of wall panels and a wooden fire surround. Some people bought small items just as memorabilia, with one man taking a shelf from the dining room ‘snug’ where he’d proposed to his wife.”

While the sale is officially over, Lilley said he’s still keen to find

buyers for two items he says are too special to let go to demolition – a wooden mantlepiece and a beautiful three section window complete with leadlighting. And there are still rough sawn weather boards available.

“We’re not going to waste anything and I’d love to be able to find good homes for those two pieces.”

Dairy farmers’ ability to remain internationally competitive is likely to be a hot topic when dairy industry and research body DairyNZ meets in Ashburton for its annual general meeting next week.

The meeting, at the Hotel Ashburton on October 27, will review the 2015-16 season, including the low milk price challenges, says chairman Michael Spaans. It will also discuss DairyNZ’s highlights for the year and future direction.

“All New Zealand dairy farmers contribute funding to DairyNZ via a milksolids levy so we are here to work for all farmers.”

He said the cyclical nature of farming meant farmers had to ensure their businesses could cope with greater price volatility.

“The long period of low milk prices our industry has faced reminds us all how important it is to run productive and profitable businesses.”

In the past season $67 million was collected through the milksolids levy.

Canterbury farmers produced 385 million kilograms of milksolids, worth $1.5 billion, in the same season, benefiting the regional economy by $830m and providing over 6300 jobs on farm and another 1200 in milk processing.

“This is around 7500 jobs. Dairy is a big part of the local Canterbury economy and many others nationwide, so it is vital to ensure the industry is competitive internationally and product is produced by resilient, responsible businesses.”

Spaans said next season could continue to be challenging for dairy farmers, as they continued to focus on operating under the low milk price.

Helping hand for endangered turtle A critically endangered turtle is on its way back home to the Kermadecs (1000km north-east of New Zealand).

The turtle, named Koha, is a hawksbill sea turtle, and has been nursed back to health at Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium after being found weak and emaciated near Dargaville in September, 2014.

Koha was blessed at Auckland’s Wynyard Wharf by Ngati Whatua and Ngati Kuri leaders, before being carried aboard Niwa’s flagship research vessel Tangaroa bound for the Kermadecs.

The name Koha was chosen to represent a gift being returned to Te moana nui a Kiwa, the turtle’s home in the Pacific Ocean.

Scientists aboard Tangaroa are on a 20-day scientific expedition in the region.

Voyage leader and Niwa principal scientist Dr Malcolm Clark said the team were honoured to have Koha aboard for the first part of the trip. “It is a rare privilege to be able to return a critically endangered creature to its natural habitat. We are very much looking forward to releasing it, knowing we have played a small part in helping the conservation of this magnificent species.”

Harry Josephson-Rutter said it was likely Koha was swimming in New Zealand waters as part of its early years, where turtles typically travel the world’s oceans via major ocean currents.

“The hawksbill sea turtle is listed as critically endangered. Having already been hunted to near extinction throughout history for its attractive shell, sea turtles

are now under threat from ocean pollution and habitat destruction. They prefer the warmer waters well north of New Zealand, and as a juvenile, Koha eats coral, shellfish and crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps,” he said.

Koha was found in a severely emaciated and lethargic state near Dargaville two years ago. He has been tube-fed a special diet

and antibiotics, to gain strength and fitness.

The plan is to release Koha this morning near Raoul Island, providing the weather is calm.

The voyage to the Kermadec region is a collaborative expedition between Niwa, Auckland Museum, Kelly Tarlton’s, Department of Conservation, Auckland and Massey universities, PEW Foun-

dation and Te Papa.

Scientists want to learn more about the habitats and diversity of the region, especially in the deeper waters where little work has been undertaken.

They will undertake sampling between 50 and 3000m deep on the eastern flank of the Kermadec Ridge.

‘Major response’ to CBD fire Firefighters are responding to a multi-storey building fire at Swanson Towers in Auckland’s Hobson St, the fire service has tweeted.

It was a “major response”, they tweeted.

It’s understood fire appliances are being sent to the fire from as far away as Mt Roskill, Devonport and Ellerslie.

The high rise is heavily smoke logged, the fire service has tweeted.

“Firefighters are now carrying out search of entire building floor by floor to ensure full evacuation.”

The fire service tweeted 16 fire trucks and an ambulance are already at the scene, including a Fire Rescue vehicle.

Herald reporter Moana Tapaleao said she could not see any smoke or flames, but an aerial appliance was being deployed.

Firefighters were being sent to the third floor, where the fire was believed to have started.

Ambulance officers have also entered the building.

No flames can be seen and there is no smell of smoke.

Death costs $255,000 Auckland Council and its contractors have been ordered to pay $255,000 in fines and reparations over the death of a 19-year-old woman. Refuse worker Jane Devonshire was killed in August last year when a rubbish truck, owned by Auckland Council contractor Onyx, went over a cliff in Birkenhead on the North Shore.

Devonshire, of West Harbour, was in her fifth week on the job working as a rubbish runner. She was standing on the left side of the cab when the brakes failed, causing it to careen 120m down a hill and off a cliff.

Hip claims derailed

Firefighters prepare to enter the Auckland building. putting up a crane from one of its trucks. The bottom of Hobson Road and the whole of Swanson Street have been cordoned off by police.

Members of the public have been evacuated and a large crowd had gathered around the area.

A few people can be seen poking their heads out from windows at the building next door.

The building, Ntec Tower, contains the Ntec Tertiary Group, which is made up of five tertiary providers.

It occupies the tower at 20 Hobson St as well as two adjoining buildings.

“Ntec prepares students for careers in accounting, business, computing, cookery, hospitality, and health services, and offers a wide selection of English cours-

es, including general, business, academic, IELTS and TESOL,” Ntec’s website said.

“Students have the option of completing short-term English and hospitality courses, one and two year diploma programmes, and one-year top-up programmes to the University of Northampton’s MBA and BA (Hons) Business and Management degrees.”

Kiwis injured by faulty hip implants have hit another legal roadblock in their bid to hold the manufacturer to account, but say they are not giving up. In the High Court at Wellington, Justice David Collins ruled that New Zealand’s accident compensation scheme prevents the three plaintiffs, representing a group of 38 claimants, bringing a claim for damages against DePuy International, which made the implants. But one of the claimants, James Elliott, said the group would press on. “Our claim includes claims for compensatory damages and separately for exemplary damages.

Therefore, at this stage, we will be pursuing the claim for exemplary damages.”

The Plains Museum celebr From small beginnings the Tinwald Domain’s historic precinct The Plains has grown to become a significant player in the Ashburton District’s armoury of tourist attractions. One of its founders, John French, talks to reporter Sue Newman about the journey from paddock to village.

F

or 45 years a small group of volunteers have given thousands of hours of love and labour to create what is today the Plains Museum.

Those volunteers and their efforts largely fly under the radar, but what they have created from a patch of bare land in the Tinwald Domain has earned them a reputation that stretches internationally.

In just over four decades Tinwald’s Plains Railway has become its own vintage world where elderly trains restored with thousands of hours of love ply the remaining tracks of the old Mt Somers branch line.

And over those years what started out as the Ashburton Railway and Preservation Society has grown from a precinct dedicated to rail history to include a woodworking museum and a fire museum. It has also become home to a group of model engineers with their own miniature railway and to the district’s woodturners.

The Plains might be celebrating its 45th birthday, but the journey has been a few years longer, says one of the hardy originals John French.

At that time the Mt SomersSpringburn branch railway line had closed and this was being removed.

“The idea came up in 1968 when the line was closing. I suggested we buy a bit of the line, we enquired but the price was $1500 a mile and that was a lot of money back then,” John said.

It would have been easy to walk away, to abandon the idea of creating a small railway where the group of rail and steam enthusiasts could tinker with old engines and take them on a short journey down the line.

And the project did falter for a couple of years, but John and his mates decided to give it another go. They held a public meeting to test the waters. The community support was good. A second meeting was held and the first plans were made for what would eventually become the Plains Museum.

The fledgling organisation found

What is now The Plains historic precinct, was a bare paddock. Today it is home to several organisations manned by volunteers, a range of historic buildings and a railway, all of which are celebrating their 45th birthday this weekend.

itself with a pile of railway tracks and an old Dubs A Class locomotive that had been sitting in the playground in the Ashburton Domain.

“This was just a bare paddock.

We built a two-bay shed that was two tracks wide, just enough to put the Dubs in,” he said.

The early station was a small hut from the nearby Ministry of Works Camp. It was modest but served its purpose for smoko or for sharing a flagon of beer at the end of a working Saturday.

The new organisation was working with a shoe-string budget and much of the work was carried out in home garages and backyards by

a group of young men who were juggling fulltime work and raising a family with their passion for preserving rail’s past.

Track laid and the small shed open, the Plains team decided they needed a new station. Chertsey’s was sitting alongside the main trunk line unused. It had been built in 1919 and became redundant in 1975.

Shifting it to the Plains became a challenge for the district’s Jaycees and in February 1976 they moved the 69-foot building south to its new home. The journey took two hours over two-and-a-half days and involved a team of 40.

The Plains then had a shed, a

station and an engine, but that engine needed something to tow.

“A farmer down the road had an old wooden chassis wagon so we got that and used it to cart kids down the line. We had kids hanging out the sides and we did that for years, but you couldn’t do it today. Too many bloody regulations,” John said.

While a number of development plans have been drawn up for the Plains over its 45 years, most times, what is now a well-established village, has grown like “topsy”.

That growth took money, it took energy and it took time and ingenuity.

“We were the biggest scavengers

this side of the black stump and our idea was always to make a village, a bit like a Canterbury-style Shanty Town.”

Any building that was pulled down in Ashburton, the Plains team were first on site, salvaging anything that could possibly have a re-use.

As that village developed, the Waterton Church was the next elderly building moved on site in 1976 and this was followed by the pioneer cottage in 1978.

“We were lucky with this, it was shifted at no charge; today it would cost thousands, but you probably wouldn’t even be able to do it. I guess we started doing this

at the right time.”

The cottage was moved from Princes Street after being donated by local builder Bill Turner. It had been occupied until a year before its relocation and once on site it was renovated and decorated in original style.

A shopping cluster was next with replica shop facades built around the Ashburton Intermediate School’s old wool-classing room. Today that complex houses a chemist, hairdresser and tobacconists, shoe store and printing works.

This was followed by the establishment of a blacksmith shop, which opened in 1981 and later by

the fire service museum.

While the historic village developed and added to the attractions at the Plains, the founders remained true to their original passion, old trains and railway memorabilia.

That founding love of trains saw the Plains build up a collection of old, interesting and rare engines, wagons and other items that were lovingly restored by teams of volunteers. One that attracts huge international attention from rail enthusiasts is K88 and this, along with the first engine the Dubs, will be plying the rails this weekend as the Plains celebrates its 45th birthday.

Reaching that milestone doesn’t mean the work has finished.

Currently under restoration are a DSA218 engine, an Aa 1024 rail carriage built in 1908, a 1912 Marshall traction engine, a Ja 1260 engine and a 70-foot turntable.

Work is ongoing, limited only by volunteer hours and cold, hard cash.

And growth hasn’t stopped in the village either. Negotiations are under way to have the Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery group move in and for John, there’s a natural synergy in having the group as part of the complex.

Money – or the lack of it – is always an issue, John said.

There are basic costs such as rent, rates, maintenance across the whole complex to cover and there are individual costs for each group too.

“Twenty-five years ago we started growing spuds and peas for funds, but it’s got to the stage now that we’re all octogenarians doing it and it’s hard work. A lot of people don’t realise what we did and went through to raise money for this,” he said.

He reckons it costs around $16,000 a year to run the village, but the hard yards are still done by volunteers who paint, clean, repair and maintain buildings and exhibits.

“Train rides will never cover the expenses, you need alternative income.”

New health and safety regulations make it difficult for volunteers to do the work they once did, John said, and he worries for the future.

“Those regulations will kill a lot of volunteer organisations.”

He looks back at what’s been achieved by a small group of passionate people and admits he’s pretty proud of the Plains today.

“I honestly didn’t think it would get this big.”

The Plains celebrates its 45th birthday this weekend with open days on tomorrow and on Monday.

Methven Rodeo 2016

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23

BY CRAIG WIGGINS When asked to write about Sunday’s Methven Rodeo one automatically thinks of the top quality cowboys, cowgirls and the incredible stock that they will be competing with to win some of the highest prize money on offer in the South Island’s biggest rodeo.

However let’s take a look at the event itself; The Methven Rodeo will bring into the community a huge amount of revenue for businesses in the accommodation, fuel, food and hospitality trades with not only the many competitors and their families but the thousands of supporters of the sport and the

Agricultural Building Specialists

entertainment around this iconic rural event in Methven held annually.

The Methven Rodeo club is appreciative of the sponsorship that these businesses and others put towards this event and, in turn, redirect income made from the event back into the community in the form of grants to worthy causes who apply, The Methven Care Trust being the latest recipient. Also the Lions club do the admission for a percentage, the fire brigade do the steak sandwiches and the list goes on.

Rodeos in NZ bring small communities together and tomorrow will be no different.

Bring your family, friends and anyone who wants to sit on the bank enjoy the entertainment, grab a steak sandwich, drink a beer and have some fun knowing that you are part of the big picture in keeping rural events and rural communities alive and well.

Junior, novice events and heats are in the morning with the main performance after 1 pm. Entertainment will be on the grounds for a while after the rodeo and then I am sure the town will come alive as it has done for decades. There is guaranteed action and great music to keep you entertained from start to finish, all you need to do is turn up.

FarmBuild's designs have been developed with more than 70 years of input from countless farmers, their families, managers, stockmen and advisers. From woolsheds to homesteads, the knowledge gained from this experience is applied to every new project, and every client's individual needs and challenges are put first.

History beckons for ABs

By GreGor Paul Tonight’s test at Eden Park is not just another game says All Blacks captain Kieran Read.

It would be wrong, or maybe just silly, for the All Blacks to try to play down the size of thte opportunity that lies ahead.

They can make history if they win. They can become the first Tier One side to win 18 consecutive tests and earn themselves a world record.

Read has been here before with the All Blacks.

He was an integral part of the side that drew in 2014 when they were going for their 17th consecutive victory.

He was also part of the All Blacks side that lost in Hong Kong when they were again closing in on the record.

On those occasions, the All Blacks tried to pretend it was business as usual – something they haven’t tried this time.

“We have learned that it isn’t just another game I guess,” says Read.

“When you have got something

on the line, the opposition raise their game and we have got to raise ours.

“That’s probably the biggest lesson that there is a bit of an extra.

“And it is a bit of an extra for both teams.

“It is not just our record, it is the Australians’ record to try to stop us from making it.

“It is going to put a bit of extra spice on but we are pretty glad we are here at Eden Park.”

That extra spice has been relished by the All Blacks who have historically struggled with this

fixture in the past. The travel burden of recent weeks has been demanding and the Bledisloe has already been secured.

That has been the way of things for the last few years and goes some way to explaining why the All Blacks drew the third Bledisloe in 2012 and needed a late escape – a last second try and conversion – to salvage victory in 2014.

The world record attempt has rejuvenated the All Blacks and given them a huge lift this week, says Read.

“I think it is a great thing from

our mental point of view that we have acknowledged what it is at stake,” says Read.

“The Australians clearly know what is at stake as well and I am sure they will be coming with as much attitude to try to knock us off.

“It is going to be massive as it has never been done in the history of Tier One nations.

“But we have just go and take it a game against Australia and prepare like we have for all the other games where we have been successful.”

Plunket Shield kicks off

By DaviD Leggat

Kane Williamson on his way to a high-quality century against India during their second one-day international cricket match in New Delhi yesterday.

PHOTO AP

■ CRICKET

Leading from the front

By DaviD Leggat He’s a gem, that Kane Williamson.

His fine century, 118 off 128 balls at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla, gave New Zealand just enough runs to hold off India and put themselves on the board for the first time on tour.

It was his eighth ODI century, level with Stephen Fleming and with only Nathan Astle (16), Ross Taylor (15) and Martin Guptill (10) ahead of him.

Give him time.

Williamson was sketchy through the first few overs, playing and missing outside off, chasing runs as opposed to being especially patient.

He was dropped twice too, so

you couldn’t call it his finest innings by a long chalk.

But it was still a terrific performance when his team badly needed a lift, clearly battling fatigue, and a problem with his left arm.

He is a special player.

Even Sunil Gavaskar was moved to say “It is a joy to watch the New Zealand skipper bat”.

This was around the time Gavaskar got angry at all the water stops the New Zealand batsmen were taking, claiming players in his day had a drink every two hours at the scheduled breaks. A ridiculous comment.

Williamson is now in elite company, averaging over 50 in ODIs away from home. He is going at 50.82, a fabulous achievement.

New Zealand’s tail failed to wag, but they felt they had enough runs on a pitch known not to be a 320 v 310 strip, and so it proved.

The bowlers worked hard and Tim Southee managed a spectacular catch off his own bowling, to remove MS Dhoni, changing direction and clutching the ball low to his right in a fine piece of athleticism.

It wasn’t in the league of Shane Bond’s wonder take off Cameron White in Wellington in 2007, but if you saw that you’ll always remember it.

Then Southee was on the job in the final over, 10 needed, when he yorked Jasprit Bumrah, in a case of the biter being bitten, Bumrah having done precisely

the same to Southee about three hours earlier.

Add in the bizarre over from Guptill, a 10-baller including four wides and two wickets, and it was a game full of interesting moments.

Most significantly it was a win for New Zealand, and right now they’ll take them any way they can.

It has breathed fresh life into a tour which was going down the pan.

Five games, five lost tosses though. Some things don’t change.

On to Mohali and a chance to get their nose in front in game three of the five-match ODI series.

Now after all that’s gone on so far on tour, that would mark a significant moment.

New Zealand’s batting problems in their test series in India add an extra zing to the Plunket Shield, which starts around the country today.

There’s a tendency among the New Zealand hierarchy to downplay the value of the shield on the basis that the country’s best bowlers spend little time playing in the domestic first-class competition.

They’re on national duty, therefore runs are more easily made.

It’s not hard to find a first-class coach or two who will dispatch that idea into the nearest round filing cabinet.

Even if it’s true, the simple answer for the country’s up-andcoming batsmen is to make runs, buckets of them.

That’s the currency that sticks in selectorial minds.

So with the national jury out on at least a couple of batting spots – opener and No5 – there’s no time like the present for those challengers.

Add into it the context that players are striving to succeed in a competitive environment, as opposed to staged matches aimed at providing game practice.

Auckland will start the shield as, if not favourites, then at least in a position to contend strongly.

They won the shield, and the T20 crowns last summer but coach Mark O’Donnell banishes talk of defending titles.

“It’s a different season, a different team. Maybe if we had exactly the same personnel, but we’re not trying to defend anything,” he said.

Canterbury were second last season and coach Gary Stead knows the qualities a side needs.

“The shield is the special one to win. It’s 40 days of the season, it’s tough, you have to play consistently well and it’s a really good gauge of where you’re at,” the former international said. - NZME

■ HALF MARATHON BID

■ NETBALL

Buddy a great motivator

Umpires in the spotlight

A

couple of weeks ago, my neighbour Kirsty contacted me, wondering if she could tag along and if I’d be interested in running with her once or twice a week.

As you know, I have been running on my own (with music as a buddy) and so I wasn’t sure I would enjoy running with a human being.

Kirsty is a former colleague of mine and I have always liked her (I better say that in case she reads my column this weekend. Haha! No seriously she is a really nice woman) so I thought I would take her up on her offer.

Kirsty was a bit worried she would slow me down, but I reassured her that I was a turtle, so she wouldn’t slow me down and that I am not really fit yet so I may be the one slowing her down.

We met on a Wednesday night for a half an hour run and here is what I found:

* Motivation: That night I wasn’t really in the mood for a run but the thought of letting her down wasn’t sitting well with me at all.

So away we went. If it wasn’t for her, I would probably (certainly) have pushed the run to the day after that night.

A buddy definitely is a great motivator! And once we have our regular runs together, I hope she tells me off if I say “can’t be bothered today” and give me a pep talk when I need one. * Conversation: “There’s nothing like a good conversation to make a run fly by”.

Kirsty and I were chatting nearly all the way from start to finish and it made the run very enjoyable.

Ah girls together, they always have a lot to say and share. Here and there, we stopped talking to keep our breathing going well and even the silences were nice.

You still have someone by your side which makes the experience

EMMA ON THE RUN

of running or exercising really pleasant. * Distraction: It distracts you from negative thoughts or tiredness.

Sometimes when I run, it is hard to fight my tiredness or my negative thoughts. To shake them off can take lots of energy and time, but the distraction of a conversation with a buddy has instant results.

You can focus on what the person is saying to you (Kirsty, please keep talking) and that helps you to stop thinking about yourself and stay positive. Great diversion.

And I am telling you now, when I ran with Kirsty, there was no way I would stop and walk so I really think a buddy keeps you going.

* Breaking routine: It helps break the routine.

Always running on your own can be a bit repetitive – same old same old – and having some of your runs with someone brings diversity.

You may run a different path too. There is an area not far from our houses (a trail with big trees) that I haven’t run on yet – despite really wanting to – because it doesn’t feel safe to run it on my own as a woman. Running with a buddy brings safety so I hope we go on this track together sometime soon.

Plus she can save me if I have another encounter with a furry canine. She might be better with dogs than I am. I must ask her.

So as you can read, no disappointments here. Far from it. I have only found advantages to running with a buddy, so I hope to run with Kirsty more often and regularly.

If you are hesitant to start running or exercising, a buddy might be just what you need …

PS: Thank you Kirsty for contacting me! I am really pleased to have you as a running buddy.

The standard of international netball umpiring is once again in the spotlight following a spiteful end to the Constellation Cup on Thursday night.

The Diamonds wrapped up the series 3-1 in Invercargill, edging out the Silver Ferns 49-45 in a lowscoring slug fest.

After a fairly brutal clash in game three, the physicality was ramped up another level as both sides showed a hunger to win.

Umpires Jackie Mizon (England) and Theresa Prince (South Africa) attempted to rein in the aggression, handing out cautions late in the match like they were fliers for a concert.

But Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby believes the umpires still let a lot of indiscretions go unpunished, which saw the game descend into an ill-heated affair as players became frustrated with the attention they were copping.

“We don’t want to see players sent off, but there is a system in place to keep things skillful.

“Some of the stuff that wasn’t being picked up was probably a bit more concerning,” said Southby.

■ BOXING

Could Joseph Parker sell out Eden Park?

By Patrick Mckendry Eden Park is firming as the likely venue for the Joseph Parker-Andy Ruiz world championship showdown.

Duco Events’ Dean Lonergan has hinted strongly that the December 10 bout in Auckland will be held at an outdoor venue.

Vector Arena, Eden Park and Mt Smart have been mooted as likely venues for an event some claim will be the biggest in New Zealand sporting history.

All three venues are free on December 10.

American boxing websites are reporting the fight will happen at Vector Arena, but the indoor stadium’s limited capacity could be an impediment.

It is estimated around 10,000 fans could attend a fight at Vector.

Eden Park has a seated capacity of 48,000 but could probably take another 10,000 in temporary seating on the field itself.

Mt Smart’s capacity for a rugby league game is about 30,000 but it could also squeeze in another 10,000 in temporary seating.

It will be intriguing to see if the bout would sell out an outdoor stadium.

The other issue will be the weather.

Auckland’s climate in December is forever changing with rain a potential any day of the month.

However, outdoor fights at major venues are hardly new – even in this part of the world.

Australian Jeff Fenech fought Azumah Nelson for a world title at football ground

Labour Day Monday, October 24 Joseph Parker Princes Park in Melbourne in 1992.

How the event was protected from potentially inclement weather will be the template for Duco to follow.

Chief Executive of Heart of the City Viv Beck said the fight was a very exciting opportunity for Auckland, and New Zealand.

“It’s certainly putting New Zealand onto the world stage in another new and exciting way,” she said.

Ms Beck said the city’s only got a short time to prepare for the fight, but will be up for it.

“We’re very familiar with running major events in the city and we have hosted major events,” she said.

“Planning will have to move fast, but it’s definitely an opportunity we can’t let go by.”

Hammers eye final berth

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will be out to put their Meads Cup disappointment behind them and book a place in the Lochore Cup final with a win over old rivals North Otago at the Ashburton Showgrounds today.

The Hammers’ Meads Cup aspirations went up in smoke in a frustrating 14-0 defeat to South Canterbury in Timaru last week.

The loss also saw Mid Canterbury relinquish the Hanan Shield on the seventh time of asking.

Mid Canterbury will now be gunning to salvage their season with some silverware.

It’s not the first time this term that the Old Golds have visited the showgrounds.

Mid Canterbury downed North Otago 40-32 in week one the Heartland Championships.

Should the Hammers get past North Otago today, they will lock horns with either King Country or Poverty Bay in the Lochore Cup final on October 29.

Mid Canterbury’s loss last week handed Wairarapa Bush the chance to snatch the final Meads Cup spot, and they did just that with a 44-22 victory over a winless East Coast in Masterton.

Bush will now have the tough task of trying to dump Meads Cup holders Wanganui out of the competition.

The Butcher Boys have set the pace throughout the round robin stage with eight wins from eight outings, while picking up the bonus point in all but one match.

Meanwhile, South Canterbury will play host to New Zealand’s smallest union, Buller, at the Alpine Energy Stadium in the opposite Meads Cup semi-final.

Will Mackenzie will be guiding his team around the park when the Hammers take on North Otago at the Ashburton Showgrounds today.

HEARTLAND FINALS SERIES Heartland Championship finals series Lochore Cup semi-finals: Mid Canterbury v North Otago, Ashburton Showgrounds, 2.30pm. King Country v Poverty Bay, Taupo, 2.30pm.

Scalpers hit Bledisloe Tickets to this weekend’s sold-out Bledisloe Cup match are being resold at more than three times their original price on Trade Me. Standard tickets to the Eden Park game originally cost between $75 and $95, but tickets listed on Trade Me yesterdayday have bids of up $260.

There are 20 tickets listed on the auction site – and with as many as 46 people watching some of the listings, the prices are likely to go up further as the auction heats up nearer to the closing time.

The match, which kicks off at 7.35pm tonight, is the third and final game between the All Blacks and Wallabies at Eden Park.

Auckland Rugby Union project manager Grant McKenzie said public tickets for Saturday’s game went on sale on July 18 and were all sold out within three to four weeks except for some scattered single seats.

“This now happens with all All Black test matches,” he said.

McKenzie said Auckland Rugby Union was aware of the secondary sales of tickets on some resale sites but did not have a position on the matter.

“We neither support or condone this method.”

The Major Events Management Act, introduced ahead of the 2011 Rugby World Cup, gives officials greater powers to combat scalpers.

However, the law only applies to major sporting tournaments.

Last year, after tickets to the Super Rugby final fetched up to $1500 online, Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce ruled out new laws targeting scalpers.

Betting agency TAB has the Wallabies paying $10 to win.

The All Blacks are raging hot favourites at $1.30.

Wynne Gray muses on his All Blacks dream team

By Wynne Gray Accolades for this All Black squad have been rising as regularly as house prices in Auckland.

And for good reason, with 17 test victories in a row and a world record beckoning in front of a full house at a manicured Eden Park.

Whatever the outcome, these All Blacks deserve every plaudit for an unchecked list of results which began at the same venue on August 15, 2015.

Six men from the starting XV who began the run – Ben Smith, Julian Savea, Kieran Read, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick and Dane Coles – return to seek the record against the Wallabies, who have spoiled several previous attempts.

They are part of a high quality side which has taken rugby to new levels of skill and total immersion for themselves and those who follow the sport.

They deserve the nation’s admiration and pride.

In the absence of consistent combat for sporting praise from cricket, league and netball, the All Blacks have dominated the acres of admiration.

Like the coverage of Aaron Smith and Dunnygate, some has gone too far.

These All Blacks are outstanding and rank with previous groups who built and sustained legacies for the nation’s rugby players to try to emulate.

As the hype builds, a sense of proportion evaporates and memories are blurred about those who went before.

Let’s mix it up a bit and mesh the current squad with those All Blacks of the late 1960s and the late 1980s who brought imposing players and sequences of international success.

The team in the late 1960s had to sustain their excellence across

five years with truncated bursts of tests, while the initial World Cup winners motored through three seasons.

It’s been a shade over two years for the current men in black, who play a frenzied 14 tests in a season.

Who would be captain?

Wilson Whineray, Brian Lochore, Wayne Shelford, Sean Fitzpatrick, Richie McCaw or Kieran Read – two of the three exceptional No8s are going to miss the cut. It also leaves out Zinzan Brooke, whose best test years came later.

That one example shows the immense depth in this country, where separating individuals is the stuff of fractions.

Who is your backline boss?

Beauden Barrett is playing with great aplomb and causing defences all sorts of grief with his speed and tactical kicking.

He’s won rapturous approval, with the one frown his goal-kicking inconsistency.

That was a gold standard in the late 1980s for current selector Grant Fox, whose delivery on the basics, sharp tactical brain and kicking magnificence drove the All Blacks.

Who do you pair your fiveeighths with?

Is it the smooth passing of Chris Laidlaw, the steel-wristed snap of Graeme Bachop’s delivery to compare with the modern-day Smith or the brilliantly unorthodox Sid Going?

If McCaw wears the No7 jersey, does that eliminate the exceptional Michael Jones?

If we shift Jones to blindside, then Ian Kirkpatrick, Jerome Kaino, Kel Tremain and Alan Whetton have to fight out a spot on the bench.

The modern hooker has become another power-packed loosie with the ability to scrum hard and hit lineout targets. Dane Coles is monstering those standards,

as did Fitzpatrick and in the late 1960s, Bruce McLeod, who was a hard-charging mobile athlete.

Why not wrestle with the pros and cons of this composite group from the three eras and see how New Zealand has painted it black for so many of their rivals?

Chairman Fundraising Committee Ashburton Stadium Complex Trust Inc

The Ashburton Stadium Complex Trust is delighted to introduce to you this supplement and, in doing so provide insight into the first 17 months of operations since its opening on Saturday, May 9, 2015.

We must, once again, give our sincere thanks to approximately 400 sponsors who gave so generously in time, effort and cash to enable EA Networks Centre

to become the vibrant asset that it now is for the Mid Canterbury community.

The trust is also pleased to confirm that it has exceeded the $5 million fundraising target set by the Ashburton District Council. In doing so it has exceeded $6 million of gross sponsorship commitment.

These extra funds and investment income earned from them have

been able to assist the EA Networks Centre since opening in: • The installation and assisting with the funding of the timing system within the aquatic centre at a cost of $189,497 • With the assistance of the Lion Foundation, the installation of the concertina seating of the stadium at total cost of $370,391 • The installation of reflection

blinds in the stadium costing $26,589 • Summertime outdoor gym equipment costing $8118 We once again thank the people of Mid Canterbury in enabling and supporting us to bring the EA Networks Centre into realisation which will be an asset for both today’s and future generations.

grow and has over 1000 members.

The group fitness continues to attract great numbers and we are always looking at ways to stimulate interest, with activities like boot camp, across the line, baby boot camp and rehab classes.

The pool has had over 300,000 visitations and this number has stayed consistent with no dropoff in numbers. The Ashburton Pool Trust, Lion Foundation and Foodstuff have been very supportive of the centre and without them we would not have been able to get the extras which help us provide a fantastic facility for people to use.

The above groups have helped us purchase concertina seating, outside gym, blinds for the stadium and covers for our start blocks in the pool. The concertina seating has

been well received and we have had a number of requests from outside groups about the possible hire of the venue now that we have the ability to hold at least 1500 people seated, we are also looking at the possibility of holding a pre-season Breakers game here.

This is being explored and we hope to know by the end of October whether this will take place.

The blinds at the end of the stadium have helped us eliminate the glare from the natural light.

It was causing major issues with players and officials not being able to see the court markings.

The outside gym will allow us to use the outside space in the summer which will lessen the pressure on the weights area which causes some issues in the busy times.

Assisting in all areas of the facility to make a customer’s visit as seemless and enjoyable as possible whilst continuing to develop new ways to expand the services we offer the community.

I really enjoy being able to assist all of our customers become more active and improve their wellbeing.

The EA Networks Centre is a real asset to the Ashburton community that we should all be hugely proud of and utilise to its full potential.

A large portion of my role encompasses overseeing and operating the aquatic side of the business and ensuring that the fantastic team of supervisors and lifeguards are putting the health and safety of our customers at the forefront of our goals.

The expertise driven from the supervisors ensures that the aquatic centre is always a clean, safe and friendly place that develops excellent aquatic services for all pool users.

I am passionate about ensuring that the EA Networks Centre and its offerings to customers remain effective and that the EA Networks Centre continues to be an industryleading aquatic and sports facility.

ADC Gym supervisor Anna Johnson

ADC Head swimming coach - Shane Jones

ADC Swim school Stacey Hoets

The EA Networks Gym encompasses as many forms of fitness as we possibly can.

The gym floor consists of a massive range of cardio machines, weight machines and a free weight area. The majority of the time we have two instructors present who are trained to provide assistance with technique and keeping the gym safe. The instructors are also able to carry out full assessments and write programmes specifically for our members.

The group fitness area consists of a range of classes both from beginner to advanced.

They are carried out in three different areas, the group fitness room where there is a mix of Body balance, yoga, bodystep, etc. Then there is the spin room where you can do RPM, spin, beginners spin and sprint.

Finally there is the pool where we run a range of different Aqua classes for different fitness and abilities. Small group training through the year we run small group block programmes. These range from boot camps, yoga, baby boot camp etc.

Finally we provide personal trainers. These can be for the individual, couple or small group.

This is a great opportunity to really achieve your goals with one of the instructors motivating you.

My role consists of looking after about 70 swimmers that are spread over six different squads. Starting with the development squad, which we consider the end of learn to swim. From here they move into bronze squad, which is the first of our three competitive squads.

This squad competes at local and regional meets. As the swimmers continue to develop their skills they then move to silver where they hope to qualify for a national or South Island championships. Our top competitive squad (gold) will train up to nine sessions a week and aim to be competitive at national age group level. The squad is classed as a development squad due to the fact that once the squad members have finished secondary school they move away and end up in the larger squads in Christchurch or Dunedin and sometimes further afield like the States. Over the years Ashburton has produced some outstanding swimmers who have gone on to represent both the province and New Zealand.

We also have master squads that train in the mornings for competition, triathlons or general fitness. Our day starts at 5.30am Monday to Saturday with a break in the middle of the day then returning to coaching around 3pm in the afternoon, with the final squad finishing at 7pm.

The EA Networks Centre Swim School is a Swimming New Zealand-recognised quality swim school with a great bunch of tutors who are qualified through, or are working towards, a Swimming New Zealand qualification.

We teach approximately 900 kids a week, growing to around 1000 over the summer months, through our water-babies, preschool, after school and adult classes. We also offer individual lessons for a more tailored lesson. Our water-babies, preschool and after-school classes have a strong water safety focus as well as working children through a clear seven level programme. They will learn everything from water confidence all the way up to Level 7 where we work on technique and distance. We also run a block programme in the school holidays where children can attend lessons every day for a week.

On top of this, we have schools from the Mid Canterbury area come to us for lessons throughout the term. These are run through the school day and in a week or two-week block. This programme is funded by Kiwisport, Lions Foundation and Four Winds Foundation and is a great way to get all children in the area exposed to the aquatic environment and learn vital swimming and water safety skills.

This is a positive outcome although one which needs to be managed. The EA Networks Centre Sports House works fantastically for the sports organisations occupying space within.

It provides sporting clubs and Sport Canterbury with an ideal location to showcase sport in the community. It is a reality of sports finding themselves in a tough economy where volunteers try to maintain clubs or their sporting code without a lot of resources, finance or support.

The Sports House provides an office suite, IT infrastructure, shared use of the meeting room, workshop space, activity spaces and an area for Green Prescription consults. Add this to the mentoring, networking and support by Sport Canterbury and it all creates an

Netball

BY RUBY HARFIELD

The popularity of netball in Ashburton has increased rapidly over the past two years following the Mid Canterbury Netball Association’s move to the EA Networks Centre.

Mid Canterbury Netball president Karla Newlands said the new facility has caused a rise in player numbers, especially in the social grade, because it has a spring floor, is indoor and has enabled games to be played during the week.

“We’re really happy with the stadium, the facility is great.”

Karla believes the spring floor, with its cushioning effect, has attracted many players who had previously left the game due to the impact on their joints from playing on concrete. It also means people’s playing days can be prolonged.

“It’s so much easier on their bodies.”

Not having to play outdoors in winter weather has also been greatly appreciated by all involved in the sport, she said.

“The comments from players and spectators has been 100 per cent positive.”

It has made the season run a lot more smoothly as they don’t have to cancel games due to the weather.

Since the move from the Middle Road courts to the centre in 2014, the social grade has grown from six teams to 17 and netball is now played there five days a week.

“We’re pretty much at capacity for the juniors and at capacity for social.”

Moving social netball from a

Premiership final - Celtic vs Methven teams.

Saturday to a weeknight has let many mums start playing again because it doesn’t conflict with children’s sport, Karla said.

The growth in netball due to the new facility has completely exceeded her expectations.

“It has really helped netball to grow in the area, there are a lot more people playing the sport.

“I hope that it continues to grow.”

Because the facility is of such a high standard, the district has been able to host top quality competitions such as the New Zealand Secondary Schools Netball Tournament which was held at the EA Networks Centre last year, she said. “It’s great to be able to put our name forward for those types of events.”

The recent addition of concertina courtside seating for an extra 966 people has added to this as well as making it more exciting for our home-grown players in events such

as this season’s premiership final between Celtic and Methven in August.

Sally Williams, from the Methven club, said the final felt impressive with rows of spectators in the stands.

“The final was great. It’s a fantastic facility that we’re lucky to have.”

All players at the club love playing indoors and on the spring floor which is better for the body, she said.

“We don’t feel so sore after a game.”

Celtic coach Angela Leadley said her club has moved its training into the indoor centre.

“It’s amazing to have this kind of facility in Ashburton, all our girls use it.

We use it for training, but then a lot of them also use the gym and the pool.

“We’re really lucky to have it.”

The Mid Canterbury Badminton Club has been a regular user of the EA Networks Centre since it first opened in 2015. Previous to this the club utilised the Sports Hall on Tancred Street.

With the additional capacity that the club now has at EA (eight badminton courts) there has been a

large jump in the number of players on Tuesday night and Thursday morning sessions. It’s not uncommon to see 40 players on a Tuesday night.

A lot of new players are coming along to try out badminton which could, in part, be due to the exposure generated due to the mixed use nature of the facility.

What our customers say I have been to a few Body Balance classes which I have enjoyed. On Monday of this week I finally got along to a yoga class, which is what I really wanted to do. The class was just awesome, amazing, caring, informative knowledgeable teacher.

Basketball Mid Canterbury president Wayne Rodgers said the facility enabled the association to host a Tall Ferns vs Japan game last year, the 2015 Zone 4 A Secondary Schools Premierships basketball tournament and the South Island Secondary Schools’ Senior Boys Basketball Tournament.

“Since the opening of the EA it has brought new opportunities to town for us,” he said.

Basketball New Zealand is now looking at holding the National Talent Programme Camp in Ashburton and the district is in consideration for hosting national tournaments alongside Nelson, Dunedin and Invercargill, he said.

“You have to have a minimum of four courts to host South Island zonal tournaments.

“This is some future proofing for the town with these tournaments producing some high level of basketball.”

What our customers say It was great to watch our two-year-old grandson splash, jump and run around the beach area. He moved between the two toddler pools and loved being taken through waterspouts in the lazy river. Well done and congratulations on providing such a safe and enjoyable “water playground” for the young ones.

Sports hub The land north of the EA Networks Centre has been suggested as an area where a sports hub could be developed and there has been keen interest from a number of community groups for this to happen.

The Council is undertaking ground testing to see if the area can be used

for future development.

Any future development requiring further funding will need to be identified in the 2018 long term plan for public consultation.

The EA Networks centre project has been recognised nationally and consequently received two architecture awards.

EAT Café is a nice addition to the centre. It provides contemporary food with a healthy twist. Keep up your great options of amazing fresh salads, healthy raw slices and smoothies.

The EA Networks Centre is accredited as “pool safe”, which means all the requirements on pool operating standards from life guarding to pool chemistry are met, which is commendable given the centre has only been in operation for 18 months.

College benefits Ashburton College benefits from the EA Networks Centre.

Ashburton College was an early financial contributor, via Student Work Day fundraising, to the EA Networks Centre community fundraising project. The College quickly saw the advantages of this facility for the district and its population, of which the College is an integral part.

The benefits of an attractive, modern, airy, user-friendly, multiuse facility are significant and, as a college, we are proud to now be able to promote the use of this facility to our visiting sportspeople.

Since opening, the benefits from the college’s perspective have included a wide range of events, involving both teams and individuals who, through their various endeavours perform under the college’s name or are linked in with college successes.

The ability to, and benefits of, hosting fixtures indoors and playing on a quality sprung-wooden floor raises the mana of events, the standard of play and lessens the long-term impacts on, and damage to, sporting bodies.

Over the past 12 months the availability of this facility has seen the continuation of regular swimming activities, but in a more aesthetic environment, and the inclusion of options not previously available in Mid Canterbury.

•

•

•

These have included, but are not exclusive to:

The regular Year 9 swim programme.

A student learning support unit swim/games event, organised by the college’s student sports committee. It is hoped this can be a precursor to a wider sporting event for ‘para’ games against special needs students from other schools. The availability of mobility aids for pool access was a real asset, along with lifeguard support.

For the first time, our ability to host basketball and netball inter-school exchange fixtures indoors on the sprung wooden floor. This year this was against Burnside High School while, in 2017, the fixtures against Lincoln and Rangiora high schools will both be hosted by College.

Veteran No.6 calls time

By Colin engelBreCht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

One of MC Hammers’ players will be retiring soon.

Tevita Ula will be hanging up his boots at the end of this rugby season after four years with the team.

The 30-year-old has played as

a loose forward during his time, as well as previously playing for the South Canterbury team in Timaru.

Ula also played for Tonga in 2011 and won a test between Tonga and Fiji in July 2 that year.

Ula said one of his favourite memories is winning the Meads

Cup in their 26-20 win over North Otago in the 2013 Heartland Rugby Championship.

After the season Ula said he wants to stay and be a part of Mid Canterbury Rugby and is a member of the Hampstead Rugby Club.

Ula, who has played over 30

games for the MC Hammers, said he’s going to miss playing rugby with the boys.

However, he’ll be enjoying the time off and will watch plenty of rugby.

As for today’s game, Ula is feeling confident about the team’s chances of making the big final.

Pocock on the bench for Wallabies Quade Cooper has been dumped to the bench in a backline reshuffle for Australia’s Bledisloe Cup clash with the All Blacks in Auckland today.

While loose forward David Pocock returns from injury via the bench in an unchanged forward pack, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has opted to restore Bernard Foley to five-eighth and use Reece Hodge’s strength and skills in his preferred second fiveeighths position.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen on Thursday mischievously picked what he thought Australia would put out in the backline, with remarkable success.

He picked Cooper would be dropped as well as Hodge coming into second-five and Samu Kerevi at centre.

Cooper had an unhappy experience the last time he played at Eden Park.

He was overshadowed by his

David Pocock opposite, Dan Carter, in the All Blacks’ 41-13 win in August 2015 and it was almost merciful when he was sinbinned with 30 minutes remaining.

The Wallabies resisted the temptation to rush Pocock straight back into the starting line-up after a month on the sidelines, instead opting to use him as an impact weapon off the bench.

With Pocock returning, there is no room for long-time regular Scott Fardy in the match-day 23.

Cheika kept the All Blacks guessing until midday on match eve of the final trans-Tasman showdown of the year before revealing his side.

“We’ve been trying guys in different combinations at training and trying to find the best ways to maximise the talents of the guys that we have,” Australian defence coach Nathan Grey said.

“He’s got a lot of experience playing in that position at Super Rugby. He’s a big body, carries the ball very well and he’s got a good passing game that he uses, and he’s got good speed.

“All those attributes are very positive to have in a 12.

“He defends there at 12 anyway for us so he’s used to being in that environment.”

Cheika agonised over whether or not to thrust rookie locks Rory Arnold and Adam Coleman into the Eden Park cauldron or recalling the reliable second-row pair-

ing of Kane Douglas and chief lineout caller Rob Simmons.

He eventually kept faith in Coleman and Arnold, while also retaining Lopeti Timani at No 8 after his starring role in Australia’s last-start win over Argentina.

The Wallabies are bidding to break a 30-year hoodoo at Eden Park as well as deny the All Blacks a record 18th consecutive win on Saturday night.

- NZME

WALLABIES Israel Folau, Dane Haylett-Petty, Samu Kerevi, Reece Hodge, Henry Speight, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Lopeti Timani, Michael Hooper, Dean Mumm, Adam Coleman, Rory Arnold, Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore (c), Scott Sio. Reserves: James Hanson, Tom Robertson, Allan Ala’alatoa, Rob Simmons, David Pocock, Nick Frisby, Quade Cooper, Sefa Naivalu.

Australia are up against it in the first test against the New Zealand women’s side today in the Eden Park Bledisloe curtain-raiser.

This is their first test match in over two years, in fact since the last Women’s Rugby World Cup, while the start of the 2017 WRWC campaign kicks off now for the Black Ferns, who themselves have been inactive for 15 months.

The Wallaroos have never beaten the Black Ferns and have 12 test debutantes in their matchday squad of 23.

The Black Ferns have some serious firepower in their threequarters, with Portia Woodman slotting in at centre – minus the pink hair that enlivened her appearance in the Farah Palmer Cup final – with fullback Selica Winiata and wings Honey Hireme and Renee Wickliffe chiming in with their pace and guile.

There is no room for Counties Manukau fullback Hazel Tubic, while Black Ferns Sevens rep Kelly Brazier will come off the bench.

Manawatu halfback Kristina Sue will debut off the bench, after several seasons where she has needed patience, rated as the No 3 or No 4 in her position.

In the pack, seasoned hooker and captain Fiao’o Fa’amausili will line up for her 40th international after a fine Farah Palmer Cup, where she was in prolific tryscoring and general play form.

Black Ferns sevens skipper Sarah Goss will wear the No 7 jersey, despite just one outing for the Bay of Plenty Volcanix since her Rio Olympics endeavours.

“We talked about Sarah really early and it looked to us that No 7 could be her natural position.

“She played there for one game for Bay of Plenty and we thought she played well.

“There’s a few things we need to fine-tune, but she’s working really hard and it will be interesting to see how she goes,” says head coach Glenn Moore.

In all, there are 15 back from the 2015 Super series in Canada, which the Black Ferns swept.

Original loose forward selection Sharnita Woodman was rested for precautionary reasons after she took a head knock in the Farah Palmer Cup final earlier this month.

Woodman’s move to centre is not, Moore says, an attempt to shoehorn in all the outside back talent.

Injuries to Stacey Waaka and Theresa Fitzpatrick and the unavailability of Huriana Manuel and Kayla McAlister mean there is a shortage of quality midfielders.

“Her playing at centre is something we’ve talked about trying anyway and she gets that crack on Saturday,” says Moore.

Moore says any Australia-New Zealand international will mean there is an extra edge, regardless of who are favourites.

In brief Big night spoiled Watching an error-strewn loss largely from the bench was hardly how Mika Vukona planned on celebrating his milestone night. But the Breakers skipper was powerless to stop his side from slumping to defeat against the Sydney Kings on Thursday night, spoiling the occasion of his 300th game in club colours. Vukona was a non-factor after a pre-game ceremony honouring the first Breakers to reach that mark, plagued by foul trouble and restricted to 12 minutes on the floor, and his team-mates were unable to avoid falling in a 1-2 hole in the Australian NBL. - NZME

Youngsters serving it up

By Noah Graham More than 100 kids will have aces on their minds and rackets in hand today as they compete in the Ashburton Trust Junior Tennis Open 2016.

Tournament director Tony Brosnahan said there would be children 18 years and younger from around the South Island serving it out over the long weekend in this year’s competition.

Brosnahan said the tourna-

ment consists of 16 different events which are split into a variety of age groups from 16 and 18 under to eight and under.

He said there was a strong chance local players would win events with more than 70 entered.

As long as the weather holds for the weekend as forecast it will be a great time for people to come and watch the tennis stars of the future compete, Brosnahan said.

“Spectators are more than welcome.”

McLaughlin tops Gold Coast 600 practice Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin isn’t wasting time trying to overcome his Bathurst 1000 heartache, posting the fastest time at Gold Coast 600 opening practice.

McLaughlin clocked one minute, 11:32 seconds to top the practice timesheets on the concrete walllined street circuit yesterday.

Supercars series leader Shane van Gisbergen was second fastest ahead of fellow Holden driver David Reynolds.

McLaughlin has hit the ground running at the Gold Coast in a bid to recover from his Mount Panorama drama.

The Volvo driver’s winning Bathurst hopes were ended by a spectacular crash with 11 laps left after contact

with Jamie Whincup and then Holden’s Garth Tander.

Whincup crossed the finish line first at Mount Panorama but was relegated to 11th for his role in the incident. McLaughlin was later penalised 25 competition points over the crash to fall to fifth in the drivers’ championship.

Whincup was fourth fastest in opening practice as he tried to rebound from a failed appeal over his Bathurst penalty.

In the co-drivers’ only stint, Scott Pye’s team-mate D’Alberto clocked one minute 11.77 seconds to be fastest ahead of Holden star Jamie Whincup’s co-driver, Paul Dumbrell.

Van Gisbergen’s co-driver, Alex Premat, was third fastest.

Kiwis going on attack Kiwis five-eighth Thomas Leuluai says the Kiwis will look to attack more off-the-cuff in next week’s Four Nations opener against England in Huddersfield. The Kiwis appeared to play into Australia’s hands in last week’s 26-6 loss, and deviated from tactics that have proved successful in recent seasons by opting to run second-man moves through a deep backline. Chances to create second-phase play were missed, but Leuluai says the Kiwis will look at standing closer to the defence and their ball-carriers to sniff out any offloads and capitalise on any half-breaks. - NZME

Crutchlow quickest

Scott McLaughlin is making the pace early on the Gold Coast.

British rider Cal Crutchlow has topped the standings after the first free practice session of the Australian MotoGP at a wet Phillip Island.

Yesterday’s first session got under way in drizzling rain and conditions worsened throughout the 45-minute free practice, with Crutchlow setting the quickest time on his LCR Honda. Nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi is second in the standings, but his Movistar Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo struggled in the conditions to clock the 20th fastest time. In Moto2 action, Remy Gardner put a week of turmoil behind him to be 10th quickest at the end of first practice.

Cyprus still holds the real record

Kody Stuthridge was a key player for the Ashburton College 1st XV in recent years and has been doing his bit to raise the profile of rugby overseas.

Spreading the rugby word

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton rugby player Kody Stuthridge has been helping raise the profile of rugby in the United States of America.

The 19-year-old was part of a rugby team representing the New Zealand Institute of Sport that visited the country this month to play and share their skills.

Stuthridge is studying for a Diploma in Sports Management and Exercise Prescription at the institute in Christchurch.

The former Ashburton College First XV backline player was among six NZIS students from Christchurch who flew out to Los Angeles on October 4 for 12 days.

They met up with players from Wellington and Auckland campuses for three games.

Stuthridge said the group spent two days in a training camp getting to know each other before playing two teams from the Rhinos Rugby Training Academy and another from Santa Barbara.

The NZIS boys easily beat both Rhinos sides, but lost narrowly in the third.

Stuthridge scored a couple of tries in the process, playing on the right wing.

He said the Rhinos academy included players who were relatively new to the sport, while the Santa Barbara side was more experienced.

“They were bigger and tougher and had some people playing professionally. They knew how to play.”

Stuthridge said off the field, the Kiwis spent time teaching kids between 7-18 years some basic skills and strategies about rugby.

He was working with the 10-12 year group and said about half knew who the All Blacks were.

“Two or three were wearing All Blacks’ training tops.”

A surprising number knew about the game, though there were fewer opportunities to play it.

Stuthridge said the Kiwis were keen to help raise interest among

young people who had not grown up with the game.

“I really enjoyed playing rugby over there, meeting new people and helping people get to know the game.”

The winger has played the game since he was a youngster and this season turned out for the Celtic colts, also nabbing a couple of starts in the senior side.

He was also a representative player for the Mid Canterbury colts.

He said he was keen to progress his rugby career and aimed to break into the Ashburton senior competition next year, though he has another 12 months of study remaining in Christchurch.

The All Blacks will set a rugby world record of sorts should they beat the Wallabies tonight.

But they won’t hold THE record.

Not yet.

Kieran Read’s tier one side can make it 18 straight victories when they face 10-1 outsiders Australia.

But the real test record still belongs to real outsiders – the mighty men from Cyprus, population 1.2 million, who went on a 24-game winning run between 2008 and 2014.

Theirs’ is a story of triumph that belongs in another age.

“People have literally put their families on the line, wives threatened divorces, some boys quit their jobs to play,” says their captain Marko Mladenovic, 25, an 86kg openside flanker raised in the coastal city of Limassol.

Speaking from Edinburgh where he lives while playing for Falkirk, Mladenovic – whose Serbian parents arrived in Cyprus seeking refuge from the war in Yugoslavia 25 years ago – reveals the other side of test rugby.

Mladenovic was an unremarkable 13-year-old footballer going off the rails following his parents’ divorce when his mother spied a newspaper advertisement for rugby players. The game already had a natural base at British military bases retained after the 1960 treaty of independence. But a rugby-loving South African wanted to expand the game, thus the advert.

Just four years later, Mladenovic was making his test debut, away to Azerbaijan, in a “horror show” which turned out to be the first match of the 24-game streak.

“It is probably the most famous Cyprus rugby story – it was crazy,” says Mladenovic, recalling the players paid $600 each to play.

“We had to wait two or three hours at border control to get into the country. They didn’t want to issue us a visa.

One Cyprus player lost a tooth.

Another suffered a broken cheekbone. A 37-3 win was secured. The record run was under way. - NZME

Top colt ‘can bounce back’ Lisa Latta (right) will be looking for a positive response at Trentham today from Manhattan Street following the colt’s failure in Melbourne.

The Awapuni trainer is optimistic of a return to form from the

M2

out quickly to tail the field home.

“He was checked by the vet over there and we had our vet to him when he got home and they couldn’t find anything amiss,” Latta said. “He had a week in the paddock before he came back into

work and he has freshened up nicely. He’ll get track conditions to suit him at Trentham.

“He still holds a nomination for the 2000 Guineas, but we’ll see what happens on Saturday first.”

Pumpkin Patch dreams squashed? basically gone from hero to zero,” he said.

“This segment in itself has been incredibly challenging so we’ve seen that over a period of time, this category has just been hit time and time again.”

Pumpkin Patch has a current market valuation of just $10.1 million, after falling from a peak in 2007 of $4.85 per share or more than $800m.

The company posted a full year loss of $15.5m for the year to July.

Debt to lender ANZ Bank rose to $46m from $39.1m.

Wilkinson said while the company had been ahead of its time in terms of its online offering and expansion plans into the US and UK markets, this had also hindered it.

“Pumpkin Patch were always a bit of a darling,” Wilkinson said.

LazyAz founder Aryaman Taore initially ran deliveries himself. said: ‘your going to be buying me a new phone at some point in time so why don’t you invest that same money in to this app?,” he said.

“They didn’t really believe in the idea even after giving me the money.”

The business delivers a range of items – predominantly food – but goods range from flowers to makeup and are delivered by scooters and cars. The company has three to four deliverers working at anyone time.

The public response to the business had been good, Taore said.

“Initially it took time to grow traction but now what we’re seeing is we’ve got about 1,500 loyal customers with us that are ordering once every week, once every two days even.”

LazyAz is hoping to raise between $75,000 up to $200,000.

After just one day into the 21day crowd funding campaign, Taore said there had already been between $43,000 and $45,000 in investment.

He said pledges have been from a mix of investors and the general public who wanted to be part of a brand.

“We’re based in the city in terms of where we are delivering right now and the idea is to take the money and nationally expand

in to Wellington, Hamilton and other cities around, and also in Auckland in terms of other areas outside of the CBD,” he said.

“It’s a scale business and it’s only really profitable when you scale to a large number of orders so that’s what we’re really going to do with the money.”

The crowd-funded money would also be used to work on app technology, he said.

“The current app we have right now is very basic and we’re working on creating an app that is able to aggregate all the stores on it.

What you could have is go on the app have your stores like KFC, Zara, or whatever it is – food, fashion, electronics – and have a catalogue where you can simply order.”

Taore said he had global ambitions for the business.

“New Zealand is a tiny aspect of it. New Zealand is where we do want to test the market, understand it and prove it. But really it’s about global expansion in to a lot of Asian and South American countries where population is very dense.

“There is no competitor out there and there isn’t going to be even in two to three years time so we want to go out there and establish a market.”

The app is free to download from Apple App Store.

Teen turns down Harvard offer An 18-year-old Aucklander is seeking up to $200,000 in a share sale for his start-up after turning down a position at an Ivy League university.

Personal delivery service LazyAz is using AlphaCrowd’s equity crowd-funding platform to expand services to the rest of the country.

LazyAz founder Aryaman Taore recently turned down a place at Harvard University to take full control of the business.

Taore, who is studying engineering at Auckland University as well as running the business, said he had always been businessminded.

“I really wanted to create my own startup when I was 13. I said I would do it at 16, but it started at 17 - it was always something I wanted to do.”

Indian-born Taore, who immigrated to New Zealand with his family at age six, said initially his family and friends didn’t think much of his business idea.

“In all, the usual word I got was a ‘dumb idea’,” he said.

“I remember I was with my friend in a car and I explained to him the idea and he said ‘oh that’s the dumbest idea, what are you doing?’.

“I think a lot of people didn’t really understand where it could head, it was a very new concept but things have of course changed, luckily.”

The start up has been on the market for three months and receives roughly 20 to 25 orders per day. It is already on track to make profit.

“Since we’ve launched we’re about 75 to 80 per cent in terms of breaking even already. By the end of this year we will be profitable and that will allow us to expand in to other areas from the start of next year,” he said.

Taore kicked the business off with $1000 savings and a $750 “investment” from his parents.

“It took a lot of convincing. I

legacy issues they’ve had from this expansion.”

The business has closed some stores but still operates around 150 globally.

Staff at two stores were unaware of its situation yesterday after the retailer issued a statement to the NZX. “I haven’t heard anything, we didn’t know anything about it,” said the Ponsonby manager. “My store manager in Westgate had no idea either - she’s training some new casuals at the moment,” she said. “Does that mean we’re going to lose our jobs?”

Last month directors said the 2016 financial year was the first in a four-year turnaround plan, and “very good progress has been achieved, although this is not immediately apparent from the headline numbers reported”.

The deadline for Pumpkin Patch to give its bank possible solutions to its financial woes has been extended but the clothing retailer has warned that its shares are “highly unlikley” to have any value.

The Kiwi company, which was founded in 1990, has faced difficulties, closing stores and cancelling expansion plans amid shrinking margins.

This culminated in a trading halt yesterday, before which shares were trading at 6c each.

First Retail Group managing director Chris Wilkinson said the childrenswear sector had struggled, with Pumpkin Patch one of several casualties.

“I guess it’s been a while coming,” Wilkinson said. “They’ve been working away at trimming their store portfolio and I think we really feel for them because it’s

Hang on to those precious stat days Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

N

ew Zealand’s early labour reformists would be turning in their graves if they looked at the New Zealand workplace today.

Very few of today’s jobs existed when the fight for the right to an eight-hour working day was fought and, if they did, today they’re in a vastly different form.

The eight-hour working day movement was born in Wellington in 1840, but it took another 50 years before the first labour day. However, while some enjoyed the luxury of an eighthour day, in the late 1890s there were still many who did not and unionists pushed for legislation to be passed enshrining the right for all employees to cap their working day at eight hours.

The official Labour Day holiday was born in 1899, Mondayised in 1910. Over following years Labour Day parades disappeared, but the belief that an eight-hour day was the correct length of working day did not.

Over the years the eight-hour day became almost universally accepted as the norm. Today, however we’ve undone the hard work of the past; there is no such thing as normal when it comes to working hours.

The original eight-hour working day agitators would turn in their graves if they could see today’s workplace. The division between work and recreation they fought so hard to achieve has all but gone; work is worked to meet employers’ requirements.

Those hours could be any day of the week, any time of the day, consecutive days, staggered days, flexi days. And overtime, long the cream in the pay packet for many, is a word that’s almost consigned to the pages of the past.

And yet we still cling on to Labour Day. And so we should, but while some are able to walk out of work on Friday and head away on holiday, for many others it’s just another working day. The wheels of business must continue to turn.

Business is now a 24/7 affair and that’s what many people expect. The open-all-hours philosophy might be good for business but it’s wrecked family life, it’s killed off sports teams, it’s depleted the volunteer pool.

We’ve sacrificed a lot on the altar of commerce; perhaps we’ve sacrificed too much.

Shoddy buildings Being one of a number of residences that back on to the south-western side of the Hotel Ashburton, from our properties we see a line of accommodation buildings, in a very poor state of repair, that desperately require a spruce up.

There is moss and lichen growing everywhere, damaged spouting and the blockwork requires cleaning. How long will the trust leave this when an asset will turn into a major liability.

One other issue that I have that has not been addressed, is the large rubbish skip bin that sits on my boundary.

Every second time this bin is emptied, when it is lifted to be tipped into the truck, all of this light dusty material and light paper blows over the boundary fence into my property.

Here is a challenge for this newly-elected trust board.

enguins may be more closely associated with Antarctica than Australia, but a small town in northern Tasmania is on a mission to change that.

Named for the little blue penguin rookeries in the area, Penguin is home to nearly 4000 people as well as the birds.

Most of them were indoors as we rolled into the town, thanks to the spectacularly Antarctic weather that greeted us – think high winds and raging seas.

Nevertheless, the proliferation of penguin paintings and seabird-themed shop names assured us we were in the right place.

From the Penguin Taxi Service, to the black and white sculpture waving from the roof of the general store, everything centred around the small aquatic flightless birds.

There was even a Penguin Butcher, which, we were glad to learn, does not condone the slaughter of sea birds.

Instead, the whole town is wholeheartedly behind its namesake – so much so, that they even have a penguin mascot. The Big Penguin was erected by the shore in 1975, to celebrate the

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you want a town cycleway?

CONTACTS A bit of penguin love is appropriate in Penguin, northern Tasmania. town’s centenary. At 3m tall, Rebeakah, as the statue is named, is proudly known as the “biggest penguin in the world”. She’d certainly give the Rakaia salmon a run for its money if ever they met in the wild.

Rebeakah is also a top contender for the most stylish penguin in the world and not because of her black and white colouring that resembles a tuxedo.

She has been known to don a super-penguin outfit, complete with “S” on her chest, and masquerades as Santa Claus in the lead-up to Christmas each year – the local school children

measured the 3m bird and sewed a custom red suit for the purpose.

Once we’d ducked out of the storm and found some locals, they were quick to share such stories.

Their favourite was the day in 2010 that wedding bells rung out. That’s right – in case you were eyeing up the shapely form of the Penguin penguin and thinking of asking her out for a plate of fish, it’s too late – Rebeakah is already married.

The lucky groom is also a penguin sculpture, known as Fisher, and he lives across the street.

Dudley Corbett, who oversaw

the service between the two, spoke of “the rights of all beings to be happy … even inanimate objects”.

There’s certainly more than a trace of a grin on the Big Penguin’s beak.

When we entered “Penguin” into the GPS, we were expecting feathers and fish – seabird nuptials, however, was much more than any of us had bargained for.

That’s the thing with these small towns, dotted around the fringes of faraway places; you never quite know what you’re going to get until you actually brave the storms and turn up to have a look for yourself.

Guilt versus shame, let Jesus set you free W

hen Jesus said he came to make people truly free, that freedom has many aspects.

One of them is setting people free from guilt and shame. Those two things are related, but not the same.

Today we see our society moving from a guilt culture to a shame culture. This is reflected in the dramatic increase of phrases such as “name and shame” – 10 times more frequent in the past 20 years than in the previous 200 years.

Shame is not the same as guilt.

Guilt is a status not a feeling. It is a legal term and it describes our relation to an objective standard of right and wrong. When we break the standard we are guilty.

Shame is a feeling of having done something, or failed to do something, which brings social disapproval, perhaps even social humiliation.

In a society that is functioning well, guilt and shame co-exist as

Rev David Bayne

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

cause and effect. The objective breaking of the standard brings the subjective sense of shame.

There are those, of course, who are guilty but who feel no shame – they express no remorse for their actions.

There are also those who feel shame, even though they have no guilt. This is the great downside to moving into a shame culture.

It is scary stuff when a society seeks to control behaviour through expressing outrage to produce shame – apart from guilt, apart from an objective standard of right and wrong. This is truly disturbing. In fact it is not far removed from mob rule.

There is no debate, no appealing to any standard but simply a bare majority and naked power to

crush those who differ.

“Aaron Smith steps down from All Blacks” was the headline in yesterday’s news, along with the explanation that he had “voluntarily stood down”. Is this not peculiar?

Either sex outside of marriage is wrong and therefore it is right to shame, or it is not wrong and therefore there is no cause to shame.

If there is no guilt why should there be shame? To rip guilt and shame apart is a dangerous path to tread.

Denouncing and punishing without a basis in guilt is for vigilantes.

Public opinion in a shame culture is both fickle and frightening.

How many engage in self harm because of shame? Not the shame that results from true guilt, but shame from not fitting in – not having the right face or figure or friends or finances.

Jesus came to rescue us from

both guilt and shame. His life’s work is often described as rescuing us from guilt (real objective guilt) as a consequence of disobedience to God. Jesus also came to rescue us from shame. He rescues us from true shame by removing the guilt that lies behind it.

He rescues us from false shame by refocusing our lives. No longer floating (or sinking) on the changing waves of public opinion, we have a sure foundation.

We have a belonging in the community of faith that is greater than the sense of exclusion that arises in false shame.

Jesus provides wholeness, security, peace and direction. Guilt is not ignored but dealt with. Shame is covered too. May you know the freedom found in following him who died in great shame for our sake.

■ IRAQ

Special forces join fight In a significant escalation of the battle for Mosul, elite Iraqi special forces joined the fight yesterday, unleashing a predawn assault on an Islamic State-held town east of the besieged city, and the US military announced the first American combat death since the operation began.

US officials said the American service member died yesterday from wounds sustained in a roadside bomb explosion north of Mosul. More than 100 US special operations forces are embedded with Iraqi units in the offensive, and hundreds more are playing a support role in staging bases.

The American had been operating as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist in support of the Iraqi Kurdish force known as the peshmerga, the US officials said.

As they charged toward the town of Bartella, 15 kilometres from Mosul’s outskirts, the Iraqi special forces faced another favoured weapon in the Isis arsenal: armoured trucks packed with explosives and driven by suicide bombers.

The militants’ signature battlefield tactic, the weapons offered a glimpse at what Iraqi forces can expect as they close in on the extremists’ biggest urban bastion.

Little spoke ahead of Thursday night’s NZ Music Artisan Awards, at which he won two Tuis – gongs for best producer and best engineer – for his work on Broods’ second album Conscious.

Turkey ramps up fight against Kurdish fighters in Syria

Saving money?

Turkey escalated its offensive against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, pounding them with airstrikes and artillery, and complicating the battle against the Islamic State group by Ankara and Washington, both Nato allies.

In the fight for Aleppo, meanwhile, the Syrian military used a lull in violence to urge residents and rebels to evacuate the besieged opposition-held part of the city.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency said as many as 200 members of the Kurdishled forces were killed in Syria’s Aleppo province by the Turkish bombing and shelling.

A senior commander with the main Syria Kurdish militia confirmed the Turkish attack on his forces north of Aleppo but disputed the casualty toll, saying that no more than 10 fighters were killed.

Kurdish forces in Syria have been battling Isis militants and made significant territorial gains in Aleppo province.

That has dismayed Turkey, which is dealing with a homegrown Kurdish insurgency

This is the reality for those trapped in Aleppo - living among the ruins. and trying to prevent an expansion of Kurdish influence in Syria.

“We will not back down,” senior Kurdish commander Mahmoud Barkhadan of the People’s Protection Units said by telephone from the region.

“We are fighting Daesh.

Why are they striking at us?” he asked, using the Arabic acronym for Isis.

Barkhadan accused Turkey of aiding Isis militants by turning the fight into a Turkish-Kurdish battle.

The Russian military says that in the first day of the pause in fighting over Aleppo, the corridors set up for civilians to escape the besieged city and for rebels to make safe passage came under consistent fire.

Australia’s foreign department, searching for ways to shrink its spending, flew 23 bureaucrats business class from Canberra to Paris to attend a three-day conference and discuss ways to save money, officials said yesterday.

A Senate committee quizzed senior Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials on whether a video conference or a less expensive city had been considered as cheaper alternatives when the department was trying to reduce its spending by $12.6 million a year.

The official who chose Paris, John Fisher, told the committee the agenda of the in-house conference in September included ways to save money.

“We flew people to Paris to talk about how we might do things in a more effective way,” Fisher told the committee.

It was conservatively estimated the cost of flying 23 bureaucrats from their Canberra headquarters on the 34,000-kilometre round trip to Paris plus accommodation at $A215,000.

Pardons for gay sentences Thousands of men who were convicted under now-abolished British laws against homosexuality are to receive posthumous pardons, the government announced yesterday. Those who are still alive can will be eligible to have their criminal records wiped clean.

The Ministry of Justice said the pardons apply to men convicted for consensual same-sex sexual relations before homosexuality was decriminalised several decades ago. Men living with convictions can apply to the government to have their names cleared.

Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said the government was trying “to put right these wrongs.”

“It is hugely important that we pardon people convicted of historical sexual offences who would be innocent of any crime today,” he said.

Calls for a general pardon have been building since World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing was awarded a posthumous royal pardon in 2013.

The computer science pioneer helped crack Nazi Germany’s secret codes by creating the “Turing bombe,” a forerunner of modern computers. His work

helped shorten World War Two, and he was an innovator of artificial intelligence.

After the war, Turing was prosecuted for having sex with a man, stripped of his security clearance and forcibly treated with female hormones. He died in 1954 at age 41 after eating an apple laced with cyanide.

A few other countries, including Canada and New Zealand, are considering pardons for people convicted under now-repealed laws against gay sex.

Gay-rights advocacy groups in the United States said they knew of no US state which had con-

templated similar action.

Sex between men remained illegal in England until 1967 – and even later in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The age of consent for gay people was not lowered to 16, the same as for heterosexuals, until 2001.

Many gay rights campaigners welcomed the announcement.

But some said the government should go further and issue a blanket pardon, rather than making men apply individually to have their criminal records vacated.

Others said they wanted an apology, not a pardon.

In brief Fighting ban overturned Spain’s constitutional court has overturned a ban on bullfighting in Catalonia, declaring it unconstitutional. The court said bullfighting was part of Spanish heritage and therefore any decision on banning it could only be taken by central government.

Bullfighting was banned in Catalonia in 2010 on the grounds that it was incompatible with Catalan tradition. Analysts say similar laws in other regions could now also be reversed.

Real clowns upset Hundreds of professional Latin American clowns have condemned the recent global “creepy clown” craze, saying it is harming their image. The clowns, attending an annual convention in Mexico City, chanted: “We are clowns, not killers”. The craze, in which people dress up as clowns and scare people, spread quickly with the help of social media. Scary clowns were first reported in the US in August and quickly spread to the UK, Australia and Brazil.

Eleventh air-bag death

The video featured animated women with pink circles for breasts.

First lady Michelle Obama waves to the crowd after speaking during a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton yesterday in Phoenix.

■ UNITED STATES

Obama savages Trump at campaign rally Michelle Obama just savaged Donald Trump with a speech so powerful it left many wondering why she isn’t running for president.

The crowd went wild as the First Lady gave an impassioned speech during a rally for Hillary Clinton at the Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

“He just doesn’t understand us,” said the 52-year-old lawyer as she eviscerated the Republican nominee for his views on women and poor communities.

“Heroes who love this country so much they’re willing to die for it. He just can’t see them.

“Maybe it’s easy for him to mock people with disabilities, because he’s unable to see their strength and their contributions. Maybe that’s why he demeans and humiliates women as if we’re objects meant solely for pleasure and entertainment rather than human beings worthy of love and respect.

“Maybe that’s why he calls communities like the one where I was raised ‘hell’ because he can’t see all of the decent hardworking folks like my parents, who took those extra shifts, paid their bills on time, folks who are raising amazing families, sending kids to college.

“Maybe he doesn’t believe people like us really exist because he doesn’t see our shared humanity.”

As her audience whooped and cheered, she gestured around the room. “But here’s the thing,” she said. “Look at us. Just look at us.

“We all know better, we all know better. We all understand that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of us, and we know that that is not who we are.”

The First Lady showed what a skilled orator she is in her final major campaign appearance for Clinton.

Mrs Obama outlined a captivating vision of America and what it stands for.

“Who are we? We are a nation founded as a rebuke to tyranny.

A nation of revolutionaries who refused sovereign reign from afar.

“Hear me, we are a nation that says, give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

“We are a nation built on our differences guided by belief we are all created equal. A nation that fully recognises that we are always stronger together, all of us.”

■ SWEDEN

Facebook apologises Facebook has apologised for removing a video on breast cancer awareness posted by a Swedish group, saying it was incorrectly taken out.

Cancerfonden’s video featured animated women with their breasts represented by pink circles, showing ways to detect suspicious lumps.

The images were considered “offensive” by the social media platform.

The social media website caused outrage last month for removing the “napalm girl” photo, saying it showed nudity.

It later reversed that decision, allowing the publication of the iconic picture which shows a badly burned child fleeing a napalm attack during the Vietnam War. In a statement, a spokeswoman for Facebook said the images of the Swedish campaign had now been approved.

“We’re very sorry, our team processes millions of advertising

images each week, and in some instances we incorrectly prohibit ads,” she said.

“This image does not violate our ad policies. We apologise for the error and have let the advertiser know we are approving their ads.”

Before the decision was reversed, Cancerfonden had said in an open letter to Facebook that the campaign “was not meant to offend”.

It added that it had found a solution to the problem: illustrating breasts using two pink squares (below).

Facebook has also been accused of removing a number of pictures of mothers breastfeeding their children.

Other photos have been removed in similar circumstances, reports say, including one of a mammogram and another of a technician who tattoos nipples and areolas for breast cancer survivors.

Is this taking cubism a bit too far?

A 50-year-old woman who died after a car wreck last month in California is the 11th US victim of Takata Corp’s defective air bag inflators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed the woman’s death yesterday but didn’t release her name. Up to five people also may have been killed by the air bags in Malaysia, bringing the number of deaths globally to as many as 16.

Takata air bags can inflate with too much force, which causes a metal canister to rupture and spew shrapnel into the vehicle.

Tokyo-based Takata, unlike other manufacturers, uses the chemical ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion that inflates air bags in a crash.

Three firefighters, two police officers and three civilians were injured.

Appeal denied A federal judge rejected five appeals by jailed drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to avoid extradition to the United States, a week after Mexico said it aimed to send him north of the border by early next year.

The legendary Sinaloa Cartel leader, who has twice escaped maximum-security prisons in Mexico, can still appeal to higher courts and his legal battle against extradition is expected to continue.

In a statement yesterday, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said the judge reviewed and denied two of Guzman’s appeals, and threw out the other three without considering them. Guzman lawyer, Jose Refugio Rodriguez, said he had not been officially informed of the court’s decision.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The one you had so many opinions about, well, those opinions will change as you get to know the person better. However, first impressions are true impressions. Don’t forget them!

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Everything is fitting together for you. So why does that not have a relaxing effect on your life? You’re more determined than ever to attain a higher level of mastery or means.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your partners in this journey will share your enthusiasm for it, but you’ll have to get things started. This weekend they’ll need to be wound tight, revved up and cheered on.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Go on: Walk in. They’ll wonder who you are and what you do. The assumption will be made that you are a VIP. The confidence you exude will send up smoke signals.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You can’t control it all, and yet you take full responsibility for the way things turn out. It’s not always good, but even when it’s bad you learn something valuable.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your belief will set you apart from the others, not because it’s so different, but because you believe it so thoroughly. You are truly the best example of this belief. You live it.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The root of intelligence is curiosity. Give credit to the person who asks you many questions. Be wary of the one who is not curious enough. A Capricorn or Virgo will be an asset to your business.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The subconscious is genius. When you drive or generally “veg out” the most interesting mental stuff will come up. Getting lost in your thoughts will be the perfect way to solve a puzzle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Nature doesn’t make exactly straight lines. While trying to draw your boundaries you’ll be faced with plenty of inconsistencies and variations! Life is an imperfect process. Keep going.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): As for that person who is one above you, well – maybe not. Stop comparing. It’s been filtered. There’s not that much sunshine on anybody’s face. Relax.

Everyone will get his or her due.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It’s all tight spaces and limited funds today, but the creativity that springs from this frustrated circumstance is truly inspired. No complaints; march on.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Research and plan.

Learning as much as you can about upcoming events will be your ticket to comfortable confidence when the special day finally comes to pass.
