Options for $16m spend revealed

BY SUE NEWMAN

Mmmm, pork recipes P17, 18

Eight options are in the site mix for a $16 million-plus project that will see Ashburton with a new library and civic headquarters.

The Ashburton District Council is taking the first steps in the district’s next big ticket project that will take at least three years to complete. The project has been up for debate for several years, has been deferred on at least one occasion. It is now tagged in its 20152025 long-term plan.

The eight shortlisted site options range from several variations using one or both of the existing library and administration building sites to the Balmoral Hall site on the corner of Cass and Cameron streets, the East-

field development in the central business area and the Ashburton Business Estate. Also in the mix is the option of relocating the library to Ashburton College.

Reaching a final decision, however, will be a long process that will involve plenty of public consultation, said council commercial manager James Webb.

“We’re now at the stage of setting the framework on how we’ll proceed.

The next step will be getting information around the sites. Once the site is determined then we’ll need to understand how things will fit around that,” he said.

With the site identified design work would be commissioned and the project costed to determine whether the

$16 million tagged for the work was sufficient or whether there would be a shortfall.

While potential sites had been identified, between that point and the completion of the project there would be several opportunities for community consultation and input, Mr Webb said.

“Someone independent will be used to review the options, they’ll be workshopped and the council will come up with its preferred option and the project will then go out for public consultation.”

The project was in its early stages and all options were wide open, he said.

Stars join growing opposition to wolf cull Pop star Miley Cyrus and former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson added their voice to opposition to a government plan to shoot wolves in western Canada. British Columbia said the killings are needed to save herds of caribou whose numbers have plummeted to 1500 and are now at risk of extinction. The province’s wolf population, which is estimated to top 8500, is not endangered. Anderson, who hails from the region, said in an open letter to British Columbia Premier Christy Clark that she is “deeply disturbed that my beloved province is allowing people to hunt and kill wolves”.

Murray’s got priorities straight Bill Murray’s no-show at the Emmys raised a few eyebrows, but the comedy legend had an acceptable excuse. Murray was in Philadelphia attending his son Luke’s wedding, meaning he was unable to collect his award for best supporting actor in a limited series or movie for his role in Olive Kitteridge.

The Ghostbusters star is well known for random public appearances and eagerness to pose in photos with fans, and his absence during Sunday’s awards ceremony to pick up his first Emmy in 30 years was the subject of much speculation on Twitter. Murray’s presence at the wedding was confirmed by friend and actress Kelly Lynch, who posted a photo of Murray on stage at the reception.

“Another reason I <3 #BillMurray - he wins an #Emmy but is at his son’s wedding #priorities,” Lynch tweeted. An Instagram post from the wedding also claimed the comedian jumped on stage during the reception and performed with the live band.

What you need to know about bees Who knew that bees could get diarrhoea? Those who do know might be interested to hear that a Wanganui manufacturer has a new product to prevent it. As well as helping the insects’ digestion, VitaBee also improves general bee health and productivity, VitaPower coowner John Palamountain said. It’s being trialled by Wanganui apiarist Neil Farrer at a collection of hives on Bernie Hyland’s farm in the Matarawa Valley. Bees can hold waste in their bodies for a week and void their bowels as they leave their hives.

The waste can spot windows and washing and annoy neighbours.

The “scouring” gets worse when they suffer a version of the bee disease nosema. “They defecate far more because their innards are in a mess,” Mr Farrer said.

A gerbil? Really?

Video of a Family Feud contestant’s hilarious answer to one of the show’s questions has gone viral. In the video of the US version of the quiz show, Family Feud contestant Darci is asked to name something a doctor might pull out of a patient. Her answer was swift but totally unexpected. “A gerbil!” Darci blurted out. “I didn’t say that, I didn’t say that ... I heard about something like that once,” Darci said, cleary surprised by what had come out of her mouth. A gerbil is a small rodent used in the sexual practice known as “gerbilling”. The answer stunned host Steve Harvey and received prolonged applause and laughter from both the instudio audience and fellow contestants.

Battle brews over boundaries

Assault inquiry

By Daisy HuDson

Dotcom hearing on

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury families are in the crossfire as schools battle it out in a contentious transport spat.

It was standing room only at a meeting on Monday night at Ashburton Borough School, where more than 50 parents expressed frustration over the decision of some school boards to not allow other schools to pick up pupils from their Transport Entitlement Zones (TEZ).

The move means that families living outside of a school’s TEZ will have to transport their children to within the boundary if they want their children to attend it.

While some Mid Canterbury principals say their boards are simply exercising their right and protecting their patch, Ashburton Borough School principal Sam Winterbourn has blasted the move as “plain

bloodymindedness”.

For several years Ashburton Borough School enjoyed a reciprocal agreement with many other schools in the district, allowing both parties to bus children in and out of each other’s TEZ. However Mr Winterbourn is concerned that parents will lose

the right to choose where their children are educated after several schools declined to renew their agreements when they expired recently.

“All of a sudden these schools are making it difficult for families across the county,” he said.

“Lots of families are being inconvenienced, probably more than inconvenienced, for no other reason than boards can do what they’re doing.”

Reducing that choice will be detrimental to the whole community, he told parents.

“We actually believe that you’re entitled to a choice,” he said.

“It is the melting pot that allows your children to rub shoulders with everybody else around the district.”

He has encouraged parents to contact other principals and boards of trustees about the issue, which Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone de-

scribed as “unfair”.

“I think that it’s a shame that he’s put it back on his parents to work out a solution when the people who do this are boards of trustees,” he said.

“I would not promote that approach, to ask parents to go out and individually negotiate with schools.”

Any agreements were between boards of trustees, and that was the level at which it would be discussed, he said.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy has urged parents with any complaints to write to the school board in question, rather than calling principals.

It was up to individual schools as to how they applied the TEZ rules, he said.

He confirmed that no formal correspondence regarding the issue had been received by the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association.

Vandalism draws ire of PM, Goodhew

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Prime Minister John Key has condemned an act of political vandalism that saw an unknown tagger attack a local MP’s Ashburton electoral office.

Police are investigating after the words “John Key” and “GCSB” were scrawled in dripping red paint across the doorway of Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew’s office in Allenton on Sunday night.

The move has been condemned by Mrs Goodhew, who says she abhors “faceless vandalism”.

“If constituents want to discuss policies with me I am always open to meeting with them, or having a telephone

conversation if they prefer,” she said.

The vandalism has also been criticised by the Prime Minister’s office.

It was “disappointing” that Mrs Goodhew’s electorate office was vandalised, a spokesperson for John Key said.

“People always have the right to protest against Government policies and are free to do so, as long as they don’t break the law or put anyone in harm’s way.”

The paint has since been removed.

It was not the first time one of Mrs Goodhew’s electorate offices has been targeted, as she has previously had windows broken. She declined to comment on the political nature of

Ashburton police are investigating an assault in Hampstead at 10.00pm on Monday night.

Kim Dotcom’s extradition hearing will go ahead this week despite his protestations it should be delayed.

A hearing was held Monday at Auckland District Court to determine the structure of proceedings over the next four weeks. “The views of the parties are diametrically opposed,” Judge Nevin Dawson said in a judgement yesterday. The US government - represented by Crown Law - argued that the extradition eligibility hearing should be heard first before multiple applications by the defendants for a stay of proceedings. Dotcom, along with Mathias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato, filed material with the court alleging unlawful and unreasonable conduct on the part of the US. - NZME

Refugee on trial A man accused of planning to use a New Zealand passport to fight with extremists in Syria will stand trial tomorrow. Somali-born Amin Mohamed will fight four charges of preparing to enter a foreign state to engage in hostile activities at Melbourne Supreme Court in Australia. Mohamed came to New Zealand as a refugee in the 1990s, attended Lynfield College and graduated with a business degree at AUT. He is determined to fight the charges and prove his innocence but the crown will argue the evidence suggests otherwise, TV3 reported.

Inmate found dead

the vandalism.

“The reason I won’t comment further is that I am then engaging in response to graffiti, when there are other legitimate ways people can engage with me,” she said.

When it comes to vandalism and abuse, Mrs Goodhew is not alone.

A study released earlier this year based on an anonymous

survey of 102 sitting MPs found that most of them had been subjected to property vandalism, assault, harassment, and even death threats.

One MP had a bullet thrown through the window of their home, while another was sent 1080 poison in the mail.

Police are also investigating two commercial burglaries in Allenton on Sunday night.

An inmate found dead at Paremoremo prison on Sunday had spent just four nights at the facility.

Anthony Francis Stillwell, 34, was found dead in Auckland Prison’s maximum and high to medium security B-block about 1am by Corrections staff who had been checking on him hourly. There were no suspicious circumstances.

Stillwell had been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for a string of charges relating to the possession and manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of firearms and car theft.

In brief

Nitrate clusters cause concern

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

The identification of several wells in the Ashburton district with high nitrate levels has sparked controversy with some water users.

Community and Public Health, a division of the Canterbury District Health Board, worked with ECan to review its risk maps of nitrate in groundwater report. The report, compiled in June 2013 and updated in June this year, disclosed two new red zones in Canterbury – one in the upper Hinds River catchment and another in Selwyn’s Greendale district.

This information was presented to the zone committee

last month, with the intention of rekindling the conversation around the health risks to pregnant women and bottle-fed babies linked to high nitrates in drinking water.

Some farmers in the affected area have been critical of the research, saying the five shallow wells sampled were not representative.

Stuart Wilson, who represents the Ashburton District Council on the zone committee, said the five wells in question were not used for drinking water. “One is near a calf shed and one is only used for irrigation,” he said.

Questions have also been asked about the effectiveness

of outdated well heads, which should protect surface water seeping into the test wells.

Yesterday Environment Canterbury (ECan) groundwater scientist Lisa Scott spoke to the Ashburton Zone Committee to clarify the purpose of recently updated nitrate risk maps.

She said updating the nitrate maps was not intended to be a “finger pointing exercise”.

“A small number of people are at risk and should be informed – this is not about who caused the problem in the first place,” Dr Scott said.

“The land use around the sample wells was not an issue – we picked a series of wells which looked like any other

wells and began testing them.

Dr Scott said all wells were purged before sampling, to lessen the likelihood of surface contaminants influencing the results.

There was evidence to suggest nitrate-nitrogen concentrations had been increasing in Hinds-Ealing area since 2005.

By 2009 the concentration was 8 micrograms per litre above the 11.3mg/l maximum acceptable value as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.

Whether this had peaked and if changes in farming practices would result in it declining would only be determined by longterm monitoring, Dr Scott said.

Hangi, art draws crowds

Hundreds of people flocked to Tinwald School on Monday afternoon for a special art exhibition and hangi.

The community event showcased the creative talents of the school’s pupils, as well as providing a delicious dinner for attendees.

Principal Peter Livingstone was impressed with the turnout.

“We had over 420 people, so we had a massive turnout from our families,” he said. “I was really rapt, it was fantastic.”

Showing off some of artwork created by pupils during the term was Madison Trusler-Clark, 11.

Hungry kids Prime Minister John Key has dismissed concerns about the amount of money schools are spending on hungry kids, saying the government is working hard to provide support. The Herald reported in July that schools were digging into their operations budgets, and sometimes relying on donations from staff, to feed children who turned up hungry.

A nationwide survey of lower decile school principals indicated up to 80 per cent of students in the hardest-hit areas were arriving without food.

Former AB appeals A decision on former All Black Andrew Hore’s appeal against a firearms conviction is expected to be released within the next two days. Hore, 37, of Patearoa, was convicted in the Alexandra District Court of supplying a firearm to an unlicensed person. He was fined $400, with court costs of $130.

An appeal was immediately lodged and was heard by Justice Rachel Dunningham in the High Court at Dunedin yesterday. Hore’s counsel, David Robinson, said the consequences of the conviction far outweighed the gravity of the offence, and would affect Hore’s ability to travel to the UK, where he had work lined up during the Rugby World Cup. - NZME

Methven brigade needs daytime crew

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade is seeking new members, and needs people who are in the township during the day time.

Brigade chief Selwyn Allred said as of December the brigade would be two short of its full complement of 24 members.

This was due to long-serving

member Alan Lumsden having recently retired after 35 years of service, and fellow firefighter Mark Allred planning to move to Australia with his young family in December.

Additionally, some of the brigade’s members worked out of town, so were not always available to respond to the fire siren during the daytime.

Mr Allred said he had three or

four on a waiting list to join the brigade, but advertised last week in order to particularly target those who would be around in the daytime. He had had one written application so far.

“We are finding some calls we are just scraping to get some members to attend.

“It hasn’t been a major issue but I’m trying to do something about it before it becomes a

problem,” Mr Allred said.

He was looking for men and women who would be fit and able to pass a medical check, as well as pass a police clearance, and be prepared to dedicate themselves to training.

“It’s a well-respected community service, you really are just doing something worthwhile for your community,” Mr Allred said.

Balmoral Hall, on the corner of Cass and Cameron Streets, is one new site suggested.

The brigade is currently mainly made up of male members, with just one female. Mr Allred said he encouraged both men and women to apply in writing for the new roles, and he was hoping to take on three people.

Anyone interested can send their application to the brigade at PO Box 74, Methven, or phone Mr Allred for further information, on 302-8493.

The former county council building, previously occupied by the museum and art gallery, is another.

Options for $16m ADC spend From P1 “It’s a big opportunity for the district.

The library will win a lot more public favour than the civic building and it could be part of the whole project with the civic building or it could stay on its own.

It’s all about efficiencies.”

One of the key issues council would be looking at was whether there were advantages in moving some or all of its functions into the retail centre of town or stay around Baring Square west and create a civic square, Mr Webb said.

What are the eight site options?

• A large addition to the present administration building for administration and library.

• A new administration building and library on the current Have-

A new administration building and library on the corner of Cass and Cameron Streets.

Rebuild the library on its existing site and build a new administration building on its existing site or if the administration building was relocated then the library could be built on the administration site.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Among new Ashburton Art Gallery staff member Emily Carter’s great passions are meeting people and art.

And that has made her the perfect person to fill the role of front of house coordinator, taking the gallery’s staffing allocation to four full-timers.

The 22-year-old from Christchurch was among more than 30 applicants for the newly-created position.

She began in the role on Sunday, and by yesterday had seen about 200 people through the gallery’s front entrance. Visitors had included a school group, a bus group from Christchurch and attendees of the gallery’s creative Jub Jub Club.

“So she’s really been thrown in the deep end,” publicity officer Nicole Bourke said.

But with a background combining academic study in fine arts, as well as work experience in fashion retail, Ms Carter has found herself relishing every moment.

“I’m just excited about it really, it’s interesting to see how people interact with the artworks,” Ms Carter said.

One of her favourite tasks will be overseeing the gallery’s retail shop, approaching artisans and sourcing works for sale.

Ms Carter graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in film. She enjoys painting and photography, and her plans in the longterm are to remain in the arts field and see where it takes her.

She was born and bred in Christchurch,

Emily bags front seat

and her family would sometimes holiday in Geraldine, so has not spent much time in Mid Canterbury. However, she was planning to move to Ashburton later this year, with her partner.

Curator Shirin Khosraviani said it was fantastic to have the extra staff member on board after staffing had remained at the level of three full-timers for the last

10 years. The size of the new gallery was three times that of the former, so it was a much-needed appointment.

“We are very fortunate, and grateful to the (Ashburton District) Council,” Ms Khosraviani said.

New Ashburton Art Gallery staff member Emily Carter has taken the gallery’s staffing level to four fulltimers.

Chef fired after manhandling claim

By Lauren PrieStLey A chef who was accused of inappropriately touching a pizza cook in a Canterbury restaurant was fired after several staff members allegedly refused to work with him.

The chef, John Bower, claims he was unjustifiably dismissed from Methven establishment The Lodge in 2013 and disadvantaged by being stood down without pay.

He took the case to the Employment Relations Authority but, as the restaurant company has since been struck off, the authority could not make any further findings despite stating he had a “strong claim”.

The authority released its decision about the incident this month.

Mr Bower used to frequent The Lodge as a “local” before being offered the head chef and bar manager job. He did not have a valid manager’s licence at the time.

In his first week on the job, an incident occurred with the pizza cook who was under 16.

Mr Bower said the kitchen was busy and he was trying to keep morale up by suggesting staff sit down for a drink together after work.

He remembered needing to get around the pizza cook and put his hands on her hips to moved her sideways, he said.

A waitress said the meaning of the events had been “misinterpreted”.

“Whilst in the kitchen scrapping [sic] plates, John made the statement to [the pizza cook] ‘after this we can sit outside and both have a drink...[the] meaning was more as a team de-stress after work.

“5 mins later [the kitchen hand] came

to get me as [the pizza cook] was crying that John had touched her,” the waitress said.

Hospitality New Zealand said the personal grievance occurred after Mr Bower “picked up [the pizza cook] and threw her back to her station and on the way back threw [the kitchen hand] against the wall”, but Mr Bower denied the statement.

The kitchen hand was also under 16 at the time. Mr Bower was dismissed the next day.

The Lodge owners Graham and Jillian Houston said they heard about the incident when the pizza cook arrived at the restaurant with her parents and the police that morning.

Mr and Mrs Houston said Mr Bower’s dismissal was “substantially justified” because several staff members refused to work with him after he was accused of inappropriately touching the pizza cook.

A police investigation was launched and Mr Bower was told it had been alleged he “manhandled” two minors during the incident. He was later told no charges would be laid but he would receive a formal warning in relation to assault on a child.

The authority decided that no further action could be taken by Mr Bower because he was officially employed by The Lodge Restaurant & Bar Limited, which has been struck off and no longer exists.

“Accordingly, these proceedings must now come to an end,” it said.

“This is most unfortunate for Mr Bower, who had a strong claim for unjustified disadvantage and unjustified dismissal on the evidence that was before the Authority.”

New role for ultimate fire-chaser

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Alan McQuarters was still a schoolboy in short pants he was out chasing fire engines.

It was war time, manpower was in short supply and two young lads from Hampstead School snared a job that made them the envy of their peers, acting as runners between fire bases during an emergency.

“In those early war years, the town had an emergency precaution scheme and in the event of an air raid they had the brigade and the auxillary to respond to emergencies. Our job was to assist the brigade in the event of an emergency,” he said.

Whenever the fire siren sounded the young runners had to jump on their bikes (in Mr McQuarters’ case his mother’s bike), pedal to the fire station, help load up the fire wagons and trucks, toss their bikes on board and head to the Allenton fire base.

“In those days there were no radios and it was our job to carry messages from the base back to the fire station.”

Through his teens he contin-

ued to nurture an interest in the fire service and in 1954 decided it was time to join up. For the next 25 years he chased fires around the Ashburton District, earning his gold star before deciding he’d done his bit. But that wasn’t to be the end of his fire service.

“I retired in 1989 and I’d been retired for about six months. It was great. Then they were short a station keeper and asked if I’d fill in. I asked, how long and they said just do what you like, it’ll only be a fortnight – 22 1/2 years later I retired,” he said.

During those years as part of the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade, Mr McQuarters became a passionate supporter of Ashburton fire history. He was there from day one when the Ashburton Plains fire museum was planned and built. He was on the wrecking crew for the old St Andrew’s Church hall that would become the basis of the fire museum, and he swung a hammer when it was built.

“We had collections of old gear, memorabilia all over the place and now we’re getting more and more of our old gear

back and we need more room.”

And that need for space has driven the fire museum’s latest project, an extension that will allow more equipment to be displayed. A team of enthusiasts has been pulled together to drive the project that aims to make Ashburton’s fire museum hosts of the biggest and best

collection of fire history in New Zealand.

Mr McQuarters’ 47 plus years of active involvement in the brigade and his countless additional years of support made him the obvious choice when the fire museum went looking for its first patron.

He’s modest about his new

role. “It blew my socks off when they asked me, but it’s not me, it’s recognition of our history over the years,” he said.

That role, however, won’t stop him turning out to help on open days and lending his spare time to help with restoration and maintenance and the new and growing museum.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Scenic shots to provide special gift

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s amateur photographers have an opportunity to have their work published in a book that will find its way to all four corners of the world.

Mayor Angus McKay is on the lookout for a gift that he could present to visitors from overseas he frequently hosts. A gift exchange between mayor and visi-

tor is a feature of many meetings and currently, Mr McKay said he has little other than the district’s coat of arms and Koru to give.

“None of that is really about Ashburton and right now I have nothing that is. I want something that people can take back to their country, that people can look at and say, ‘that looks a nice place, I want to go there’.”

His vision is to have a book filled with photographs that show the best the district has to offer as his gift to future visitors and he wants people who live here to contribute.

“I’m looking for something that is an iconic Ashburton gift and I want the community to help me with this.

“As long as I end up with something that represents our

district, I’ll be happy.”

He anticipates the book will contain up to 40 photos, one per page accompanied by a simple explanation of the location and by the photographer’s name.

While the photos will be largely scenic there will also be an opportunity for the odd photo that shows people having a great time enjoying activities, events and scenery around the

Master class for young readers Well-known author and illustrator Scott Tulloch delighted pupils at Netherby School when he took them through the process of illustration during a visit to the school on Monday.

Mr Tulloch has written and illustrated several books, including The Silly Goat Gruff and I Am Not A Worm!

He visited the school as part of the Duffy Books programme, which provides free books to children.

Pupils and staff got into the spirit of the visit, dressing up as their favourite book characters.

district, he said.

Publishing a book of residents’ photos is a new venture for the council but it was a perfect way for the people who lived here to show the things they believed would appeal to visitors, Mr McKay said.

Information about the photo project will be available from the Ashburton District’s Council’s Boulevard Day stall.

Climate refugee’s appeal fails A last-ditch appeal against the deportation of a man who claimed to be the world’s first climate change refugee has failed.

Associate Immigration Minister Craig Foss has received a briefing on the case of Ioane Teitiota and his family, and has declined to intervene.

That means he will be deported shortly to Kiribati, with his wife and young New Zealandborn children likely to join him.

Mr Teitiota had claimed to be the world’s first climate change refugee, but that was dismissed by the courts, and Labour instead asked Mr Foss to allow him to stay on humanitarian grounds.

Prime Minister John Key said there was no question that Mr Teitiota was an over-stayer, and not a refugee.

Mr Key also dismissed the notion that New Zealand should consider looking at accepting people on the basis that their homeland was threatened by rising sea levels.

In brief

■ EGYPT

Son finds murdered mum

Mass home demolitions Human Rights Watch has accused Egypt’s military of having “violated international law” through mass home demolitions and evictions over the past two years along its border with Gaza.

Egypt’s army in October created a wide buffer zone in the border town of Rafah in the north of the Sinai peninsula, where it says that tunnels have allowed militants and weapons in from the Palestinian enclave.

“The large-scale destruction of at least 3255 buildings in Rafah to counter the threat of smuggling tunnels was likely disproportionate and did not meet Egypt’s obligations under international human rights law or the laws of war,” HRW said.

Since July 2013, “the military has arbitrarily razed thousands of homes in a once-populated buffer zone on the border with the Gaza Strip, destroying entire neighbourhoods and

hundreds of hectares of farmland,” the New York-based rights watchdog said.

Egypt has stepped up its battle against jihadists - including Egypt’s branch of the Islamic State group Sinai Province since then army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted elected

Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

Militants in the Sinai have killed scores of policemen and soldiers since Morsi’s overthrow, vowing revenge against a crackdown on his supporters that has killed more than 1400 people and jailed thousands.

A heavily pregnant woman found dead in her Sydney home was married to a Kiwi and their teenage son made the devastating discovery. Kirralee Paepaerei, 37, was married to Ti Paepaerei for a decade. New South Wales Police said Ms Paepaerei’s 16-year-old son came home to find his mother with fatal head and neck injuries and stab wounds. Her partner was now in police custody.

“Destroying homes, neighbourhoods, and livelihoods is a textbook example of how to lose a counterinsurgency campaign,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW head for the Middle East and North Africa.

The Egyptian government has failed to provide adequately for about 3200 families during and after their eviction from their homes, HRW said.

“The Egyptian authorities provided residents with little or no warning of the evictions, no temporary housing, mostly inadequate compensation for their destroyed homes,” read the report.

When it started work on the buffer zone in October, Egypt said those whose homes were demolished would receive compensation.

Amnesty International has condemned Egypt’s demolition of hundreds of homes and called for a halt to its “unlawful evictions” of residents to create the buffer zone.

Abduction in Philippines Unidentified gunmen have abducted a Norwegian resort manager, two Canadians and a Filipino woman from a southern Philippine island, the military and police said yesterday. Two Japanese resort guests unsuccessfully tried to intervene before the gunmen escaped with their hostages aboard a motorised outrigger.

Air strikes kill IS fighters At least 38 Islamic State group fighters have been killed in air strikes by the Damascus regime against three jihadist-held towns in central Syria. Monday’s strikes hit Palmyra and two other towns in Homs province, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. The Syrian air force has been increasing its strikes against IS in recent days.

31 years and still going strong This is the 31st year of Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre Inc. In the early days, the originator of Children’s theatre, Joan Jones wrote, directed and choreographed the shows.

The Repertory Theatre group, along with parents, did a lot to help with staging, making and painting of trees and scenery, which with the help of lighting, she believed looked quite picturesque.

Shows were staged in the Orange Hall, with years of help from Mr Green from Ashburton College as stage manager, a job later taken up by his son James. Francis Barnett, Simon Barnett’s

mother, helped with music followed later

by Zara Hollis and her sister.

While talking with her, I realised not a great deal has changed as even now we still have clever parents who make and look for costumes, as well as seeking props, and making them where none suitable can be found.

We call on, and receive the most amazing help and support from local people and businesses.

The philosophy of the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre is to allow any youth the chance to experience performing

live on the stage, regardless of their experience.

If you know anyone who may be interested in becoming a part of the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre experience, please contact us: mcctsecretary@ gmail.com or by calling 0274 313 555.

A word from the Director BY

KYLIE MADDREN - DIRECTOR Dorothy thinks she is lost forever when a terrifying tornado crashes through Kansas and whisks her and her dog, Toto, far away to the magical land of Oz. To get home Dorothy must follow the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald

City and find the wonderfully mysterious Wizard of Oz. And so the exciting adventure of the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre 2015 begins. Dorothy’s adventures, along with her companions the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion embark on a strange and enchanting adventure.

Once again this year’s show will have wonderful, colourful and exciting characters to appeal to a wide audience.

After working with many different shows throughout New Zealand, I’m

very excited to be directing this year’s show for the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre.

It has been an exciting season, and I have enjoyed working with our musical director, Matt.

Many Mid Canterbury theatregoers will have seen Matt on stage in Ashburton so it is great to see him involved with our young “up-andcoming” actors, singers and dancers.

So please come and join the fun and support our cast.

We look forward to sharing the adventures with you and your family.

OUR VIEW

Activism doesn’t come from a paint can Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

hese days, there are all sorts of ways you can make a point about the things you do not agree with.

You can tweet about it on Twitter, you can write about it on Facebook and you can post to your heart’s content on Instagram. Crikey, if you feel that strongly, you can even ring talkback radio or – heaven forbid – write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.

Doing any or all of these things will help you get your message to heaps of people. If you do it well, some might even start to see things your way.

You can do most of these things with anonymity but online, on paper and in life, people will engage much more readily if they know who they’re responding to.

If you have the guts to go public with your perspective, and to stand by what you think, then your ideas might gain traction and you might gain respect.

You might even force change.

So what are we to make of the anonymous slogan writer who dabbed a message across the front of our local MP’s office?

What are we to make of this rare bout of activism?

Not much if the slack-tivist wanted to focus the collective consciousness on their message.

Not much, unless they wanted us to worry about a quiet suburban shopping area seeming more grubby and less safe.

The vandal degraded a community space and – perversely – recast their political target as a victim. Their ham-fisted opportunism made it into the paper, but not as they might have wanted.

Perhaps they felt so disenfranchised that they had no other option. But if they have a point, resorting to petty crime is not the way to make it.

YOUR VIEW Ashburton helpers I am from Australia and recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand with my wife Julie.

While in Hanmer Springs on the morning of Sunday, August 13, a young couple from Ashburton informed me my car had a flat tyre.

A couple of minutes later, the couple I only know as Luke and Cas, returned with a car jack and wheel spanner, and Luke proceeded to change the wheel for me.

Five minutes later he was done and, as I thanked them profusely, off they went.

Such kindness is quite unbelievable and my wife Julie and I were very touched.

I don’t feel I thanked them

CRUMB

enough and I would like to acknowledge a wonderful act of kindness from a very special young couple.

They do your wonderful country proud and confirm my belief in the future with quality people such as Luke and Cas in our society.

Education politics The Labour Party complains that students seek out the easiest courses that provide the maximum NCEA credits.

Somehow or other they figure that this is fault of National for introducing targets in schools.

What Labour has not mentioned is the well-established

by David Fletcher

practice whereby schools themselves organise students in order to maximise their overall NCEA pass levels.

This practice includes holding poorer students back a year in order to supposedly benefit the students, but in reality just to ensure that their poorer marks do not affect the overall results.

Typically these students, bored to tears, will drop out, which from the school’s perspective is a good outcome because it actually improves the remaining average.

For as long as we have a top down bureaucratically controlled system, with entrenched teaching staff immune to performance effects then nothing much is going to change in how schools behave.

Every time the Government makes an attempt to introduce some reality to the profession it is Labour and the reactionary teachers’ unions that have killed off the effort.

We have seen it with bulk funding, vouchers, the relaxation of zones and now charter schools is under attack.

Any innovation that is designed to benefit students and families, but has the effect of making teachers more accountable is consistently opposed by the Labour Party and teachers’ unions; and this – not targeting – is the real disgrace in education.

The Government is to be applauded for at least trying to do something to address the problem.

Let’s show why we call Mid Canty home

T

here’s something about the coming of spring, with its warmer weather and longer daylight hours that brings a sense of hope and optimism throughout the district.

Even during some of my harder years in farming, seeing new lambs, new calves, and spring flowers would bring a smile to my face.

Everywhere I look I see a great deal of progress and growth, feeling confident that we are heading in the right direction.

I am cautiously optimistic that with the dairy prices starting to improve, our farming community will feel encouraged and have a more positive outlook for the days ahead.

Our district has had a boost with the revaluations being released last week by Quotable Value Limited.

Our capital and land values have gone up significantly throughout Ashburton District.

Angus McKay

FROM YOUR COUNCIL

While for many people this is music to their ears, for others the concern is increased property values equates to an automatic hike in their rates.

This is a simplistic and incorrect perception and I will explore that in more detail in an upcoming article.

With spring also comes the start of our annual outside event season, with Boulevard Day happening on Monday.

This is a great day for our community to mix and mingle amongst friends, neighbours, stallholders and visitors to celebrate some of the best aspects of living and shopping in Ashburton. The council will be there and we are running

something a little different.

We have international visitors and delegations regularly visit our district and I am proud to host them.

A normal interaction for many of these meetings, plus the ones when I represent Ashburton outside this district, is in the form of a gift exchange between the meeting delegates.

Over the years we have been given some wonderful items that represent the culture of our visitors and we have reciprocated in kind.

However, I’ve yet to find something that is an iconic Ashburton gift, so I’ve decided I would like the community to help me create one.

Many of our residents share the same love of this district as I do and take some wonderful photographs.

What I would like to do is to collate these into a published book to share with visitors and delegates to show the best of what we have to offer.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK.

Our vision is “Ashburton is the district of choice for lifestyle and opportunity” – hence I would like you to share what this means to you in a photograph.

At the district council stall on Boulevard Day, we will have more information about how you can send us your photographs for consideration.

As I expect this book will contain many photographs from a number of people, we won’t be offering monetary prizes, but should your photograph be chosen, it will be credited to you and you’ll receive a copy of the book.

I am quite excited about having our community come together to produce something that truly celebrates the beauty and wonder of our district.

Together, let’s show the world why we call Ashburton home!

■ CANTERBURY DAIRYING

Synlait net profit almost halved

BY JAMIE GRAY Canterbury dairy company Synlait Milk has almost halved its net profit for the July year to $10.6 million, driven by lower than expected sales of the protein lactoferrin, and its decision to prioritise payments to milk suppliers in a period of a very low milk prices.

The company’s underlying net profit after tax was $12.2 million compared with $19.6 million in the previous year.

The $10.6 million net profit was after unrealised foreign exchange losses, which it said would be unwound in future.

Revenue for the period was $448.1 million compared to $600.5 million in the previous year, largely due to falls in dairy prices.

“The underlying net profit after tax, while within market guidance, was down on expectations due to lower-than-anticipated lactoferrin sales and

a very low milk price,” the company said.

At the same time, Synlait

Milk cut its forecast milk price for the current 2015/16 season to $5/kg of milksolids from

$5.50/kg. Synlait Milk paid its milk suppliers a total average milk price of $4.54 per kgMS for the 2014/15 dairy season.

The company said milk prices had fallen to unsustainably low levels, which was reflected in the sharp drop in revenue.

“Our suppliers are an important part of our business and we’ve prioritised paying them higher advances and final payments for their milk, relative to our earnings, in what has turned out to be the first of probably two very challenging years on farm,” chairman Graeme Milne said.

He said there would be an initial focus in 2016 commissioning Synlait’s third large-scale spray dryer and new quality testing laboratory in October, but that focus would then shift towards developing nutritional and infant formula products with key customers.

The board had decided not to pay a dividend.

50% of Kiwis think takeaways the cheaper option The idea that takeaways are cheaper than eating at home is a common myth, but one that has been busted many times, according to New Zealand Food and Grocery Council chief executive Katherine Rich.

Research conducted by online and mobile takeaway ordering company Menulog found more than half of New Zealanders were buying takeaways rather than cooking at home. Nearly a third said they thought takeaways were the cheaper option, however, Rich said this was not the case.

“I think a lot of people do think that eating takeaways is cheaper than eating at home – it’s a popular misconception,” Rich said. “But I’ve seen this myth busted many times and it’s particularly true when you’re trying to feed a family,” she said.

“There is a big gap between perception and reality and I think people eat out for many reasons such as convenience, so they think they might be saving money but in reality if anything they’re just saving time.”

Menulog found more than 50 per cent of the 435 New Zealanders surveyed had ordered takeaways to save money on cooking with more than half spending up to $50 a week. This was highest in 45 to 54 year olds who spent between $50 and $100 a week on eating out.

According to Menulog

spokesperson Julia Snabl, the high price of groceries in New Zealand was turning people towards takeaway food.

“There is a growing demand for takeaway as consumers are very conscious of their household budget and the expense of cooking home meals,” Snabl said. “In New Zealand, everyday staples such as milk and butter have been steadily increasing in price, which increases the expense of even simple homecooked meals.”

Rich said people had fallen out of the routine of cooking at home, adding that if they did their own tests they would realise this wasn’t true.

“Nutrient for nutrient, eating at home is usually cheaper,” Rich said. “Take breakfast for example, the price of breakfast hasn’t

changed dramatically in the last five years and despite what [Snabl] said, milk prices have been relatively stable over the last few years as well so if you were wanting to eat a healthy breakfast, that can cost less than a dollar a day,” she said.

“And it’s the same with lunch and dinner.”

The survey found 53 per cent of consumers ordered takeaways because they thought it was more affordable than cooking a meal from scratch, with 68 per cent saying they ordered takeaways once a week or more.

The average spend was around $15 per person, with 33 per cent saying they would not pay more than that and 39 per cent saying they wouldn’t pay more than $20 per person for a takeaway meal.

Pork’s hard to beat

P

ork is one of our more affordable meats and if you take care to buy a 100 per cent New Zealand product then you’re assured of a meat that’s not only great tasting, but one that’s also as pure as you can get.

In some quarters pork is considered to be less healthy than some meats, but today’s pork producers are motivated to meet the market with a product that is lean and just as healthy as other meats.

In its most untouched form as a roast with crackling, pork takes a lot of beating, but it’s also an incredibly versatile meat that can stand marriage with a wide range of flavours.

Curry kebabs 2 pork fillets 3t red curry paste 1t minced ginger Red peppers Red onion courgettes Skewers for kebabs 2T olive oil 2T honey 2T crushed ginger ■ Cut two pork fillets into bite-sized pieces.

■ Marinate in red curry paste, honey, olive oil and crushed ginger.

■ Alternate pieces of summer vegetables – coloured peppers, red onion and zucchini on pre-soaked skewers.

■ Grill until meat is cooked and vegetables tender.

■ Serve with cucumber, mint and yoghurt salsa.

■ OPINION

Vulnerability of the elderly

T

here has been much publicity recently on the surge of marketing by various big companies who are all in competition with each other offering so-called attractive deals.

Why is it that the most aggressive campaigns seem to come from the essential-service industries, such as power and communication.

This is an area where vulnerable people are at most risk.

Last week I received four telephone calls, plus a door knocker, all trying to offer me a better deal with either my home heating, insulation, lower power prices or online packages.

One even asked me to find my power account and he would show where I could make savings.

Life is confusing enough without unsolicited phone calls at inconvenient hours of the day.

It is hard to be rude, but often politeness reaches its limit.

A good rule to remember: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Decisions should never be made over the telephone or at the door.

Another practice that particularly traps older people, comes from enthusiastic salespeople who often receive a commission for every sale they make.

A perfect example of this practice happened when an older person took her cellphone into the local telco shop to make inquiries about a function she thought would be a good idea.

The salesperson brightly offered the possibility of a later model phone and proceeded to explain all the exciting possibilities.

The customer was enticed into buying the product and completed the deal.

Once home she realised that all the explanations had not registered with her and the technology was too much for her

Jeanette Tarbotton SERVING THE AGEING

to comprehend.

She promptly returned to the shop only to be told that it was company policy that it could not be returned as it had been taken out of the package and activated, which was all carried out in the shop.

Apparently, according to the company, the Comsumers Guarantee Act did not apply as there was a notice on a counter advising of this fact and it was also printed on the receipt – too late after the transaction was completed I would have thought.

This policy had not been pointed out to the customer at the time and she was being served at another location in the shop.

The customer sought help from a family member who took control of the situation and sought a satisfactory solution.

Two fundamental issues arose: Firstly, the retailer should be able to recognise when the item may be beyond the person’s ability to operate and suggest that they seek advice from someone they trust before any transaction is completed.

Secondly, it would be wiser for older people to take someone with them initially, especially when discussing new technology.

We all like our independence, but when it comes to technology we need to take a support person who can take in the good points and point out the difficulties.

A grandchild can often be a great help and they will know what you can cope with. Enjoy new gadget, but find ones that you can cope with.

Crossing boundaries

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton Art Gallery visitors are being invited to cross the boundary between viewer and artist in an exhibition.

Stealing Lines: Drawing from the Collection has one of its exhibition space’s four walls devoted entirely to drawings by visitors.

People walking into the gallery space can pick up a clipboard with blank paper, and pencils, and then get to work, drawing their inspiration from the artists’ works on display.

And visitors have eagerly taken up the challenge, with more than 60 having participated by Monday this week.

The exhibition opened on Wednesday last week, its unveiling held in conjunction with the Ashburton Art Gallery’s 20th anniversary celebration.

About 60 people attended.

Stealing Lines: Drawing from the Collection features over 20 works by a wide range of artists, from the gallery’s extensive collection, going back to 1956. They are all on paper, and include lithographs, etch-

ings and drawings.

The exhibition features an additional two large works, which have been directly painted and drawn on to the art gallery walls. These are themselves interpretations of the collection works.

One is by Ashburton artist Natalia Saegusa and is entitled Another Here. It is a colourful, bold and vibrant abstract work.

The other is by Timaru artist Michael Armstrong. It is a charcoal work entitled System Failure, Statistics and the Downside of the Bell Curve.

Both artists were guests at the unveiling.

Mr Armstrong, along with illustrator David Elliot, feature extensively in the art gallery’s collection.

Curator Shirin Khosraviani said this presented “a challenge of exhibiting these works in innovative and fresh configurations”.

The interpretations by Ms Saegusa and Mr Armstrong, created on opposing walls, had the result of engaging not only with the collection, but with one another.

Hodges eyes Suncorp finale Brisbane captain Justin Hodges admits he is getting a little emotional as he contemplates his final game at Suncorp Stadium.

But he does not expect any sympathy from arch-rival Michael Jennings when the Broncos host defending premiers Sydney Roosters in Friday night’s NRL grand final qualifier.

“We’ve had some great battles. He brings the best out of me,” said 33-year-old Hodges, who will retire at the end of

his 16th NRL season. It will be sad but I can’t wait to run onto Suncorp one last time.”

The winner will play the Melbourne-North Queensland preliminary final victor in next week’s season decider in Sydney.

Meanwhile Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has talked up the other three clubs in the NRL preliminary finals, but says his developing side are ready to take their opportunity.

Bennett won six titles with

the Broncos in his first stint from 1988 to 2008 and returned to Brisbane after spells at St George and Newcastle.

The old maestro has quickly worked his magic, lifting them from eighth in 2014 to second in his first season back.

The team may have achieved more than Bennett possibly anticipated, but that doesn’t mean he would settle for falling short of winning another title earlier than most people might have predicted.

Bench no resting place

By Patrick Mckendry If the All Blacks’ hard-fought victory over Argentina taught the world anything it is that the defending champions have retained their knack for getting out of tricky situations and that the game is now for 23 players, rather than 15.

The quality of the All Blacks’ bench was a massive factor in their 26-16 win at Wembley, but there is now an expectation that the men numbered 16-23 will provide an impact once they take the field.

Sonny Bill Williams, Beauden Barrett and Charlie Faumuina were the standouts, but Sam Cane, Wyatt Crockett and Victor Vito added their own flavour and if the All Blacks are to go deep into this tournament it is the bench which is likely to take them there.

For coach Steve Hansen it’s all a question of what is best for the team rather than the individual.

Sonny Bill Williams: Huge impact coming off the bench.

Asked if tighthead prop Charlie Faumuina, who was his busiest best in his first test of the year when coming on after 50 minutes, is putting pressure on Owen Franks, Hansen said the difference was becoming negligible.

“We got what we expected from Charlie,” Hansen said of the Blues player returning

from neck surgery. “He’s coming along really well. Is he putting pressure on Owen? We need two of them and that’s the beauty of this team - we’ve got some depth.

“Whether Charlie starts and Owen comes off the bench - it’s really a nothing, because they’re both capable of starting.”

Asked about the performance

of his replacements against the Pumas, Hansen said: “I thought they were pretty good last night.

“Both front rowers were great, Sonny was very good, Beauden going back to fullback allowed us to make a tactical shift and move Benny [Smith] to the wing.”

Midfielder Conrad Smith’s return from his yellow card coincided with Williams’ introduction and the pair gelled immediately. Smith took full advantage of the metres Williams was able to make with his charges and offloads.

Smith said: “The impact of the bench now can sway games.

“You can feel under the pump and a couple of guys might bring more energy and a different way of looking at things.

“They might have messages from the coaches, whatever it is they can shift the whole way the game is being played and swing it back in your favour.”

“We get a lot of competitors from Christchurch and several of those compete in the worlds in age group categories. The cool thing about it is you get New Zealand reps competing alongside families,” he said.

The event wrapped up with race four on Sunday.

23/9 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you call everyone you’re supposed to call and show up where they want you to, you won’t have any time left for yourself. The most important person to keep in touch with is you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you talk about your passion, they won’t all get it, but the ones who do will be enthusiastic. It’s like you’re sending out a radio signal that only certain receivers can hear.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The “new” thing seems suspiciously like the old thing in different packaging, and you’re right — and it will work about the same.

Getting to the real novelty will require you to travel out from the hub.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Making a connection is about the exchange of feeling. Take responsibility for the level of connection you have to the people around you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re developing a stronger feeling of belonging to a family, group of friends or organisation. This unity springs from a deeper sense of accepting yourself for who you are.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’d be surprised how people learn about you and what you’re up to. Your word-of-mouth is so excellent that you’re favourably spoken of in the most unlikely of conversations.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your warmth draws people.

They’ll turn to you like flowers turn toward the sun.

Over the next three days, friends will blow through wanting to catch up.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Do what you feel strong enough to do and what you feel good about doing.

As for those duties that feel overly burdensome, they are better put off until tomorrow than approached with a crummy attitude.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The start of your project was hopeful and bright. Now for the real work: holding on to the hope. Remind yourself of your original vision in all its glory.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A task no longer brings you joy but your high level of responsibility won’t allow you to bail, and so you’re stuck. Change your attitude and push through. There’s joy to be wrung out of this.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The people around you irritate you from time to time. That’s normal. Take it as a sign of health and maturity. You’ve developed relationships close enough to create emotional rub.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Giving to others, giving to yourself — what’s the difference? You’ve been withholding from yourself but your generosity to others makes you feel so good you don’t need much else.

Tyler Koning is looking to come back stronger next year after appendicitis brought his Heartland season to an end.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 210915-TM-107

Koning a big loss for Hammers

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Tyler Koning’s Heartland season ended before even crossing the white line following an operation to remove his appendix on Friday morning.

Mid Canterbury coach Grant Keenan said the 22-year-old would have featured against East Coast last Saturday, and will be a big loss for the rest of the season.

Koning, who performed well against Hawke’s Bay in the Ranfurly Shield challenge in July, fell ill last Wednesday evening after a productive

training session on Tuesday.

The flanker was diagnosed with appendicitis on Thursday, taken to Christchurch Hospital by ambulance and operated on at 4am on Friday morning.

Koning was discharged on Saturday before returning to hospital after an infection was discovered from his blood tests.

The Southern player was then released on Sunday, and is now resigned to the fact that his Meads Cup aspirations are over for another year.

Koning’s latest layoff follows a snapped Achilles while playing for Waihora against South-

Gallen gets back in the boxing ring P16

“

It’s all the more disappointing because we’ve got a good campaign ahead of us

bridge last season, the injury keeping him side-lined for almost 10 months.

Anticipating a lengthy recovery, he booked a holiday to the United States and missed the opening three rounds of the Heartland season, but returned

to action for Mid Canterbury Development against South Canterbury in preparation for a senior appearance against East Coast on Saturday.

Despite the disappointment, Koning remains positive, and he’s confident the Hammers’

winning form can continue.

“It’s frustrating, the stop and start nature of it, to come back late and hope for a clean run.

“It’s all the more disappointing because we’ve got a good campaign ahead of us,” he said.

Koning will now focus on making a full recovery, and is looking forward to battling for a place in the Mid Canterbury squad next season.

“I want to make sure I get this Achilles sorted out and make sure I can get the power back in the leg and stay fit and then give next season a good crack.”
