Santa parade saved

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An 11th hour gesture of goodwill by a local business has saved Ashburton’s Santa parade.

Organiser Carol Johns was within 24 hours of pulling the pin on this year’s parade because she couldn’t find a sponsor, when Hyundai Mid Canterbury manager Gregg Kennedy stepped up

to the plate. He saved the day by offering to foot the bill for the parade and that, together with the Ashburton District Council paying road closure costs and the now defunct Ashburton Business Association gifting the parade its reindeer and sleigh, means Christmas will now come to town, Ms Johns said.

Securing a sponsor might

guarantee the parade is held, but its success is still in the hands of the community, she said.

“We want to step our parade up a notch this year and that means we need more people taking part.

Our parade will only be as good as the people who get in behind and support it.”

A radio appeal for people to sponsor fantasy costumes netted

a good response and Ms Johns hopes more businesses will come forward with the $125 needed to start building up costume stocks that can be used each year.

“If we could get 20 of these that would be fantastic, but even with 10 I’d be happy and if we were able to add 10 more each year, that would be great,” she said. In addition, Variety Thea-

tre’s Party People has offered to open its vast costume stocks up for the parade, free of charge.

Having big stocks of costumes available opened the door for anyone to dress up and take part in the parade, she said.

Minaj struggled to keep her eyes open for her interview with reporter Taffy Brodesser-Akner from GQ Magainze and dozed off four times. The interview was conducted in Minaj’s dressing room at the Barclays Center in New York. Brodesser-Akner writes in her feature for GQ: “Her eyelashes are even and delicate, like wisps from a dandelion, and I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen her without prosthetic versions.

I have had plenty of time to search my memory, though, because here on this couch, in this room, during this interview, with me sitting next to her, Nicki Minaj has fallen asleep.”

Six months after a heavily pregnant Megan Gale posed nude for Marie Claire, the glowing new mum has gone topless for the cover of another magazine. A sultry Gale graces the cover of Who Magazine’s sexiest people issue, marking her first photoshoot since the birth of her first son River in May. Wearing nothing but a leather jacket hanging off one shoulder, the 39-year-old model told the magazine motherhood has changed the way she feels about her body. “I have such a respect for what my body is capable of, all of it has been such an extraordinary experience,” she said.

Renee Zellweger has hit back at the online furore triggered by her new-look face, saying she was simply older and happier.

The 45-year-old Oscar-winner, whose first film in five years is out next year, told People magazine she had not been “taking care of myself” and was exhausted, but is now back to health. “I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows,” Zellweger said, calling the storm about her appearance silly. “It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door,” the Bridget Jones star told People as she explained her decision to speak out. Zellweger sparked a global firestorm of online comment after she appeared at a Hollywood women’s awards show on Tuesday. Her face appeared radically different, fuelling talk that she had had plastic surgery.

■ BUSINESS MID CANTERBURY

Minister highlights skills shortage woes

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury businesses are struggling to get skilled staff, and changing the immigration point system could help them, says Minister of Economic Development Steven Joyce.

The skills shortage was among issues Mr Joyce covered at Business Mid Canterbury’s first function, held at Brinkley Resort in Methven, last night.

Mr Joyce, who holds a range of portfolios which also includes Minister of Science and Innovation, began his address with taking a photo of the 75 seated attendants on his smart phone, saying he would be tweeting it and “nothing happens these days unless it’s on social media”.

In talking about the government’s business growth

agenda in answer to a question from the floor, he said government wanted to look at a more regional approach to immigration.

The South Island’s unemployment rate was just 3.2 per cent compared to 6.2 per cent in the North Island, and there was an argument the immigration points should be different between the two islands to try and encourage more immigrants to the mainland.

“These businesses are struggling to get people, that’s an opportunity to potentially bring more skilled people in,” Mr Joyce said.

Earlier in the meeting he had said it was “a brilliant time” for businesses in New Zealand with an emerging middle income sector in developing countries that New Zealand could supply to.

He also addressed questions on the unreliability of the Overseer nutrient measurement tool used by farmers, a lack of central government funding for rural roads, and the need for Resource Management Act reforms.

Federated Farmers’ Willy Leferink, a Mid Canterbury dairy farmer, said Overseer was a tool on which billions of dollars of farm assets rested, but it had “some real funny outcomes”.

“Is it not very important that we get a good solid tool to at least get some credible outcomes?” Mr Leferink asked.

Mr Joyce said he was to get an update on the tool, and he mentioned government investment in it, but that drew the comeback from Mr Leferink that the $5 million government had put in was “a pittance”.

■ ASHBURTON CHRISTMAS PARADE

Eleventh hour gesture saves parade from page 1 “We’re also wanting to attract more floats. Come and tell us you want to be involved and we’ll get you involved because if people don’t get involved, there’s nothing for the community to see.”

A float could be anything from a car and trailer, to a car or a large truck that was decorated for the occasion, Ms Johns said.

“The key here is decorating

it, doing it up. Don’t just put a car in the parade, it’s a Christmas parade, not Wheels Week.

We want people to get into the spirit of the parade.”

With the parade saved at the 11th hour, it would be a rush to pull the event together in just five weeks, but with community support, this year’s parade could be the best ever, she said.

“This is for our kids. They don’t ask for a lot, it doesn’t take much to make kids happy.

I’d like this to be the best pa-

rade we’ve ever had because we’re lucky to be having one at all. It’s been saved at the last minute.”

The parade will be held on December 6, starting in Mona Square at 12.30pm.

A pre-parade event will be held on the East Street Chess Board with Ronald McDonald running a colouring competition and a Santa sack competition to find the lucky youngster who gets to ride with Santa on his sleigh.

Unusual visitor drops in Staff on a coastal Dorie dairy farm had a surprise visitor yesterday in the form of a wandering seal.

Farmer Gretchen McGuire said the seal was about 300m inland and it gave her co-worker a fright when he went to extend a feed paddock strip for the cows about 7am. He got a fright, the

nearby cows were intrigued and confused at the strange creature sharing their paddock.

“By lunchtime it had moved on on it’s own accord, luckily because they can be so aggressive,” she said.

■ WOODBURNER REPLACEMENT

Air clean up plan struggling

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The drive to clean up Ashburton’s winter air quality is still struggling to find buy-in from homeowners determined to cling on to ageing woodburners.

Environment Canterbury held a series of workshops in June. It asked residents to comment on a range of issues around air quality and the results are now part of a new report and consultation document.

Two issues were uppermost in most people’s minds – home heating and outdoor burning.

In spite of a long running education programme, many people have not replaced their older log burners. Out of 2550 log burners in Ashburton 1060 are still listed as non complying

(over 15 years old) and there are 170 houses with open fires.

Comments ranged from outright opposition to the old woodburner ban to suggestions that a woodburner’s condition rather than its age should determine whether or not it should be used.

National air standards require no more than three high pollution nights a year by 2016 and no more than one by 2020.

Based on research that shows most pollution is generated by home fires, ECan developed its log burner replacement policy.

ECan principal strategy advisor Nadeine Dommisse said the new air plan was unlikely to include any changes around woodburner replacement. There was clear evidence that new burners burned more cleanly than their older coun-

terparts, she said.

Last winter ECan staff used thermal imaging to detect hot chimneys, checking these against property details to identify older burners that were still in use.

“We took a targeted approach to this, using specific areas that were smoky or where there had been complaints, Ms Dommisse said.

In virtually every case, when homeowners were contacted, they agreed to upgrade their heating appliances, she said.

Thermal imaging will be used again next winter.

Limited subsidies are available, on a case-by-case basis, for home owners who may need financial assistance to replace older heating.

A proposed air plan will be released in February. This will

STUBBLE BURNING Many urban homeowners say stubble burning causes more issues than smoke from log burners.

When it came to outdoor burning, there was a high level of concern in urban areas across Canterbury about the impact on air quality.

Some respondents wanted tougher rules around stubble burning, others wanted it banned. Concerns related to both the health and nuisance value of smoke from rural fires.

Education and raised awareness of burning only dry organic waste was also suggested.

be open for submissions. Hearings will be held later in the year and the revised air plan will be operative by December 2016.

Domain picture perfect for 150th birthday When its 150th birthday celebrations begin on Sunday the Ashburton Domain will be picture perfect, but planning for that perfection started almost seven months ago.

Ashburton District Council open spaces manager David Askin and his team have been working overtime to have the domain in perfect condition for the month of celebrations that start with a tree planting by mayor Angus McKay on Sunday.

The domain might look immaculate today, but that’s the goal every day of the year, Mr Askin said.

A Parrotia Perfica (Persian Ironbark) has been chosen as the commemorative tree. Two others are planted in the domain and Mr Askin said it was chosen because of its unique sculptural qualities.

The tree will be planted between the Walnut Avenue paddling pool and the skateboard area. When mature it is notable for having a trunk and branches that grow at irregular angles, for its yellow colour in autumn and the attractiveness of the flaky bark of mature specimens.

In brief Rural thefts inquiry A person of interest is being dealt with by Christchurch Police following a spate of rural thefts across Canterbury. Mid Canterbury farms were among those hit in the crime spree, with one Mt Somers farmer even losing a $75,000 John Deere tractor in one theft.

Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said no new rural thefts had been reported in recent days and police were following lines of inquiry.

Domestic incident Ashburton Police attended a domestic incident at 11.57pm on Wednesday night.

Armed police raid Armed police raided a South Auckland house last night after reports of a man brandishing a gun. The raid in Papatoetoe about 7.45pm came after members of the public reported the man waving a handgun from a vehicle. The vehicle was traced to a house in Trimmer Terrace and the police helicopter assisted armed police in the raid. Officers recovered a toy gun from the house. Police were speaking to the house’s occupants and were yet to decide whether charges would be laid.

Burnham scrub fire A “sizeable” scrub fire in Canterbury has been doused by firefighters. The rural blaze stretched across 5000sq m near Grange Rd in Burnham at its height, Tim Reynolds, of the Fire Service southern communication centre, said. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly before 4pm, and seven fire engines and one helicopter were used to extinguish the flames.

Taking my art seriously A broken down piano, ties, and a whole lot of talent has won Aoraki Polytechnic graduate Christeena Macdonald Paea a prize at WOW.

Her Roman-armour inspired creation called Battle Suite was runnerup in the Sustainability Award section of the World of Wearable Arts (WOW) competition, held in Wellington recently. The design was made from 80 per cent recycled material.

Christeena was at the show and was elated and humbled by her achievement.

“It was a real thrill for me to be placed second in a section I am passionate about. I love making things from recycled material so there was no better prize for me to win.’’

The Timaru mum is an established artist, who honed her skills while studying at Aoraki Polytechnic. She spent six years studying painting and fine art at the Timaru campus.

“I had always painted, but studying at Aoraki was when I started to take my art seriously.’’

Christeena was encouraged by supportive tutors who urged her to follow her passion to become a full-time artist.

“I really enjoyed looking at artists and how they fit in history with (tutor) Gail Tatham in art history at the polytechnic. It helped me to work out what I want to develop in my own work.

“Michael Armstrong and Paul van den Bergh were the right teachers for me. They helped me stretch myself as an artist more than I would ever have been able to on my own.’’

Christeena has since gone on to establish a successful career in art.

Her WOW creation saw her use the guts of a piano and a whole lot of men’s ties to create her suite of armour.

“The inside of a piano is quite beautiful and it’s nice to repurpose something that would otherwise have been trashed.’’

Christeena also credits her father – a hoarder – for sparking her interest in recycled materials.

This year WOW saw 167 national and international designers chosen as part of the show.

Lower speed tolerance again Mustang owners Marion and Trevor Love with their 1966 Mustang Notchback and 2011 Ford Mustang GT Premium.

■ MUSTANG CONVENTION

Big weekend for Mustangs

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

A handful of Mid Canterbury “pony car” enthusiasts are heading north this weekend to join hundreds at the Mustang national convention in Christchurch.

The convention coincides with the vehicle’s 50th anniversary; they launched in October 17, 1964.

Two hundred and twenty-five Mustangs, of all models and variants were expected at the convention, including Ashburtonians Trevor and Marion Love with their 1966 Mustang Notchback and 2011 Ford Mustang GT Premium.

The Loves, along with a number of other Mid Cantabrians, are members of the Canterbury Mustang Owners’ Club.

Mustang clubs have been in New Zealand since 1975.

“They are a great crew (the Mustang Club members), very friendly and hospitable,” Mr Love said.

Their son Donald Love and his wife Kay will drive the Notchback to the convention but another son, Malcom and his wife Kim, would drive their own 2012 Ford Mustang GT. Mr and Mrs Love (senior) were long time Ford supporters and got their first Mustang – the Notchback – four years ago.

The silver/grey coupe had a 289 cubic inch V8 producing 200 horsepower.

It has a three-speed automatic gearbox.

The later model, a racing red 2011 Ford Mustang GT Premium was bought second-hand two years ago.

The convertible had a five litre Coyote Ford motor producing 412 horsepower.

It has a six-speed automatic gearbox.

While the older model Mustang allowed Mr Love the chance to tinker under the bonnet when needed, there was no chance with the newer car; it got specialist treatment due to its electronic systems which includes heated seats.

Mr and Mrs Love enjoy the camaraderie of the club membership. They bought their vehicles for use, not display, and take any chance to get out on the open road and travel in style.

They are definitely for using, we do runs around the countryside, Mrs Love said.

“We love it,” she said.

It was estimated around 3000 privately imported Mustangs were in the country and this weekend hundreds of cars will be on display.

The three-day event includes an undercover public display at Turners Car Auctions on Saturday and a pony run on Sunday.

There will also be a track day at Ruapuna raceway on Monday and the chance for some owners to unleash their pony’s horsepower.

Community Honours Awards 2014 The Ashburton District Council recognises the district’s outstanding community service volunteers through it’s Community Honours Awards.

Nominations are now open and forms are available from the Council website www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or from the Council offices at 5 Baring Square West, Ashburton.

Nominations close on Thursday, 13 November 2014.

All nominations are treated as confidential. www.ashburtondc.govt.nz

Canterbury’s top road cop is warning motorists that if they venture even 4km/h over the speed limit this Labour Weekend, they can expect a ticket.

Police are again enforcing a lower speed tolerance this long weekend and at the same time, will be increasing their presence in terms of prevention work.

“We’re lowering and enforcing a 4km/h speed tolerance again this holiday weekend as regardless of the cause speed can be the difference between walking away from a crash or living with life-long injuries or a fatality in the family,” Canterbury road policing manager, inspector Al Stewart said.

“Driving to the conditions and speed limits is just one way to reduce the likelihood of a crash. Sharing the driving or taking regular breaks on long journeys is another. Police want all journeys on our roads to be safe so make sure you use appropriate restraints in the car whether you’re driving or a passenger.

“Driving socially is not just about looking after the community with you in

your vehicle but looking out for the community around you as well. Tired, distracted drivers put not only themselves but others on the road at risk.”

The official holiday period for Labour weekend this year is from 4pm today, to 6am on Tuesday.

In Canterbury between 2009 and 2013 there have been two fatal crashes, 13 serious injury crashes, 42 minor injury crashes and 89 non-injury crashes in the district over Labour weekend.

“Police are working with other agencies such as the NZ Transport Agency to keep traffic moving and everyone safe, but remind drivers to be patient as the roads will be busy. Allow extra time for your trips and avoid taking unnecessary risks,” Mr Stewart said.

The public can free phone *555 from any mobile to report any non-life threatening road incidents such as erratic driving, non-injury crashes, traffic congestion, breakdowns and obstructions to the highway. In an emergency always call emergency services on 111.

■ ASHBURTON CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION

Group marks third birthday

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s Citizens’ Association has celebrated its third birthday and secretary Diane Rawlinson believes the group has built itself a reputation as a strong voice on community issues.

It was formed during discontent over Ashburton’s new art and heritage centre, spearheading a petition calling on the council to stop the art and heritage project and to take a second look at what was planned and it initiated a public rally that attracted several thousand people.

The association also spread into the Bridge Action group that fought the Ashburton District Council over the route for a second bridge. Its role, however, was much wider than just single issues, Ms Rawlinson said.

There were many smaller issues that the group was involved with and had input to that ensured the community’s voice would be heard,

she said. “Sometimes we look at ourselves and wonder if we’re making a difference, but we are. We give the community a voice.”

Through the association, the community was able to have input into a council initiated review on the art gallery and museum project. Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel last month called for an independent review of the project after it ran over time by more than a year and over budget by more than $3 million.

“We believed we were a stakeholder in this project and we wanted to contribute so we prepared a timeline of events, of what happened while we were involved and we forwarded that as well as the document that was presented with our petition along with a letter we sent to the Ombudsman,” she said.

One of the association’s goals was to encourage more people to make submissions on council issues, because this was often the only way the community voice could be heard.

St Joseph’s School pupils and their families made the most of yesterday’s sunshine by holding their annual celebration of grandparents, complete with a very special sausage sizzle.

The annual event, which includes a special mass and morning tea, celebrated the role grandparents play in family life, with pupils’ grandparents invited to share in the day.

St Joseph’s School principal Janet Cummings said Grandparents’ Day was a long-held tradition at the school, and it acknowledged the part grandparents played in pupils’ lives.

“People come from as far as Timaru and Christchurch,” she said.

She believed about 50 grandparents attended the event, and she thought the turnout was “very good”.

Those in attendance were also lucky enough to sample a barbecue, with Allenton Meat Centre’s Paddy Kennedy donating a large number of his Supreme Sausage award winning beef and blue cheese sausages.

Mr Kennedy said his children, who attend St Joseph’s, were “proud as punch” about his win, and they wanted to bring his trophy to school.

A line of pupils and family members wanting to try the sausages stretched across the courtyard, and plenty went back for seconds.

“I haven’t heard anyone say yuk yet,” Mr Kennedy said.

In years gone by, the Methven Rodeo weekend was a busy one for police.

Drunken antics kept them on their toes and violence and drink driving meant Labour weekend Sunday saw police from both Ashburton and wider Canterbury converge on the town to keep the situation under control.

But today, police are happy. Changes made by the rodeo’s organisers over the years around alcohol and security have ensured the event is now what they always wanted it to be – family friendly.

Ashburton’s senior sergeant Scott Banfield was a sergeant in the Christchurch team policing unit years ago and remembers well what the rodeo used to be like after the final bull ride.

“Basically it was a riot in the car park at the end of the night,” Mr Banfield said.

Those days are well and truly gone though and there was now no need to roster large numbers of police on to keep the peace.

Mr Banfield said police would have a

presence both at the rodeo and in Methven after the event, but that presence would be nothing compared to the levels of a few years ago.

The Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service will also be there on Sunday and they’re urging people to plan ahead and keep safe.

Acads manager Chris Clark said rodeo-goers needed to organise a safe, sober ride home or plan somewhere to stay the night – for both themselves and their friends.

She’s asking people to be mindful of their alcohol intake and to make sure they don’t drive too early the following day, if they’ve been drinking.

“Only having a few hours’ sleep is not enough to sober you up if you have had a big night out, the only thing that will is time,” Ms Clark said. The Acads’ youth team will be at the rodeo providing a safe, chill-out area for anyone needing assistance.

Free bottled water will also be available, plus free sunscreen.

The chill-out tent will be situated just inside the rodeo admission gate.

In brief Paedophile charges New information has emerged about a paedophile wanted for questioning in relation to the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann. Roderick William Macdonald, 76, also known as Roderick Robinson, is also wanted on child molestation charges in New Zealand. Court documents released to media yesterday showed Macdonald faced three indecent assault charges on a child aged under 12.

The alleged offences happened between November 3 and November 8, 2008. He was granted bail in August 2009.

In September 2009, the case was committed to the High Court at Hamilton. Macdonald, who was living in Mangere Bridge, South Auckland, disappeared some time before Christmas that year. - APNZ

Difficult call Two Queenstown climbers flown off Mt Tasman on Wednesday had faced a difficult “judgment call” and do not deserve criticism, an alpine rescue leader says.

Queenstown-based Alpine Cliff Rescue Team co-leader Chris Prudden said most climbers called for rescue only when they thought “life and limb” were in danger. The pair have returned to the climbing area, and police would not confirm their identities. The experience would have been a “learning curve” for them.

Precedent-setting Crown Law is urging the Supreme Court to accept “Tindallgate” bouncer Jonathan Dixon’s appeal to fix a precedent-setting decision about stolen digital files. Without the hearing, parliamentary intervention would be needed to overturn the Court of Appeal decision, which Crown Law says has broad ramifications and is “wrong”. Dixon was at the centre of a 2011 Rugby World Cup media storm over a Queenstown bar’s security footage which showed then-England captain Mike Tindall appearing to flirt with an old flame.

Body found in lake A man’s body has been recovered from Lake Wairarapa, opposite the reserve where Karl Richard Morris’ abandoned car was discovered this month. Police have been searching for the Wellington man, 71, since October 4, when they were told a car had been parked at a scenic reserve on Western Lake Rd, west of Featherston, for several days.

The man is yet to be formally identified and police say DNA testing may be required. - APNZ

Auckland Santa saved Auckland’s much loved Whitcoulls Santa has been saved. Auckland property development firm Mansons TCLM has pledged to take on responsibility for storing, installing and maintaining the 18m, five tonne Father Christmas.

SkyCity has also pledged $50,000 to the effort, that Auckland’s downtown business association Heart of the City on Wednesday said it could no longer afford to pay. The association said it cost $180,000 annually to erect Santa every Christmas and keep him safe in the off season.

■ POLICE BOOZE BUSES

No escaping technology

By ReBecca Quilliam New technology that effectively brings police stations on to the road means boozed-up drivers will be processed faster and their identities confirmed instantly, police say.

The Booze Bus Biometrics system was launched yesterday by Police Minister Michael Woodhouse – who was given a taste of what offenders would go through if they failed a breath test.

His fingerprints and photo

were taken inside the bus at the police crash and calibrations unit just north of Wellington.

“I’d better put on my serious face,” he said as his mug shot was snapped.

The 21 buses would be rolled out to “hotspots” nationwide over the next month at a cost of just over $400,000, he said.

The new technology would confirm within minutes the identities of people police intended to charge with certain drink-driving offences, by electronically scanning finger-

prints, taking digital photographs and comparing the data to existing police records.

A trial of the system has been run in Wellington over the past few weeks.

Mr Woodhouse said it would help make police’s job more efficient.

“It’s going to identify those recidivist drivers, it’s going to more efficiently process them and get them off the road faster.”

If the driver who had their fingerprints and photo taken

was not prosecuted, their information would be destroyed.

Assistant Commissioner of road policing Dave Cliff said the technology was effectively bringing the police station out on to the road.

“It just brings 21st century technology into the mobility platform, which is what we’ve been doing.

“We’ve given our staff iPads, iPhones, which means they can carry out checks and this is sort of the next iteration of what we’re doing.”

■ ASHBURTON EMBROIDERERS GUILD

Local poppies to make up national total

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Lengths of material, metres of thread, beads, buttons and ribbons are part of the poppy creations being crafted by Ashburton Embroiderers Guild members making poppies for the nationwide 5000 Poppies project.

The project was set up to mark New Zealanders involvement in World War One. It was one of the many activities commemorating 100 years since the Anzac Gallipoli landing.

Ashburton Embroiderers Guild committee member Roylyn Austin said the 37 Ashburton members had been asked by the association to help out with the event. There were hundreds of people contributing nationwide; more than 500 members had joined the 5000 Poppies NZ Facebook page.

Mrs Austin said around 18,500 poppies were wanted nationwide to commemorate the number of New Zealanders who died.

The poppies were sent to an Auckland coordinator and placed on hessian material for display.

Three completed panels holding more than 2000 poppies were currently at Expressions Art Gallery in Wellington. And as of this week, New Zealand organisers were just nine poppies short of the 10,000 mark.

Mrs Austin said anyone could log on and the website www.5000poppies listed a variety of patterns people could try, including material and knitted versions.

The project was tipped as an ambitious community tribute of respect and remembrance; they could be created by anyone.

Mrs Austin’s granddaughter Grace, 8, made a selection of poppies to remember her great, great grandfather who fought in the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917.

It was a meaningful and heartfelt project.

The Ashburton guild members planned an open day for anyone who wanted to make their own poppies for the project.

The open day will be at the Seniors Centre on November 13, between 1pm and 3pm.

Once completed all 18,500 poppies will be displayed at the RNZAF AirForce Museum in Christchurch, from February until July.

Ashburton Embroiderers Guild members Jeanette Crutch and Helen Gallagher craft poppies during their monthly workday yesterday. The finished poppies will go toward the nationwide ‘5000 Project’ to commemorate New Zealand soldiers.

OUR VIEW

ACC needs to restore faith in its service Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

ncoming Accident Compensation Corporation minister Nikki Kaye has some work ahead of her if she is to improve public confidence in her new charge.

ACC may have improved its finances – it this week announced a $2.1 billion surplus, turning around a $4.8 billion loss in 2009 – but there remains a gulf between what it does and what the public expects.

Expectations can be measured by how confident people are that ACC does a good job.

ACC records show 54 per cent of people had confidence in the organisation over the past year.

Much of this gulf is linked to the distrust the corporation has sown through its year-on-year consistency in its breaches of client privacy.

ACC collects and stores millions of pages of confidential data about the people who make claims against its funds. A lot of it is stored in such a way that a series of keyboard strokes can send it far and wide.

There have been plenty of errant emails in the recent past.

Each time, ACC has apologised and an investigation has ensued.

And, each time, another case popped up somewhere else.

Last year, it was ACC’s goal to have no more than 23 privacy breaches occur each month and its just-released annual report shows it came in under budget, as it were, with 19 a month.

On one hand, this shows ACC has cut breaches from more than 30 a month but, on the other, it shows the same sloppiness that allowed so many breaches previously is still there.

To err is human – it would be churlish for a publisher of corrections to say anything else – but erring as to the application of the law is another matter.

Ms Kaye must make it clear that ACC’s progress must be underpinned by the belief that there is no acceptable margin for error when it comes to something so crucial to restoring public trust.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Are you going away for Labour Weekend?

No 83%

Yes 17%

Today’s online poll question Q: Have you been to the Ashburton Domain in the past 12 months?

Should we give up on Flowrider?

I

have been scratching my head over what to do next in my/our quest to get a Flowrider to town.

After the Ashburton District Council announced they were seeking public feedback on hydroslides only and excluded a Flowrider from that survey form, I had a lengthy chat with Steve Prescott, the facility manager for the new EA Networks Stadium and he made it perfectly clear, that in his opinion it wasn’t a good idea for the new pool complex.

Yes, Steve made some valid points, but I’m pretty sure most of them could be tackled and resolved.

There’s not much we can do about the height restrictions, but it is only 20cm more than most hydroslides.

Only one rider can go on it at a time, unless you put an inflatable divider down the middle of it so two can ride at the same time.

Yes, some really good surfers may be able to stay up on it for 10 minutes or more, so can’t we put a time limit on each ride?

There’s no room for a Flowrider in the current complex building, so surely we could

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

come up with something to house it? Perhaps a large Skyline Garage-type structure with enough room for the Flowrider and the spectators. That’s paying spectators, who would help with some return on the investment.

Steve was also concerned that Mid Canterbury didn’t have the population base to make a Flowrider work, I understand and share his concerns, BUT if we are going to spend the same amount on hydroslides (everything I read says they lose money from day one) why not try something NEW. It is something that might draw people to our region.

Wouldn’t it be cool to hear people in Auckland saying: “A Flowrider in Ashburton? How did that happen?”

On population, Phuket has a Flowrider and their population is 230,000 plus 35,000 visitors

at any one time, the population of the South Island is 1,038,000. Just saying!

Just as I was about to throw in the towel and give up on the idea, I got this from Lucy on the Flowrider 4 Ashburton Facebook page: “Recently on a family holiday to Phuket, Thailand, we had a go on a Flowrider. It was the coolest activity we did in Phuket!

“It was challenging, fun and even my dad had a go! As a competitive swimmer I have swum in many pools and have been on many hydroslides – my favourite being the QEII hydroslides. However, the new Ashburton pool will not be able to have such a great set-up like they did in Christchurch.

“My understanding is that we are planning to get one or two hydroslides.

“As a teenager in the community I would use it once and then never again as it would get boring and repetitive.

“The Flowrider gives the rider endless opportunities to improve their skills and have a lot of fun.

“I can guarantee that my friends from Christchurch and

Timaru would fill up a car and come down for the day, just to ride the Flowrider. It is such a practical solution for our town as there is not much for the youth to do except movies, sports and cafés.

“It will be a very popular attraction and as far as I know, we would be one of the only pools to have one in the South Island.

“I’m in full support of the Flowrider, because I believe it would bring many more families to Ashburton (increasing business), the children and teenagers of Ashburton will have a cool, new challenge to master and I believe it would never get old and boring. Bring the Flowrider to Ashburton!”

So if you agree with Lucy and I and would love to see a Flowrider added to the new pool complex, please make the effort to write “Flowrider” on the public survey form.

Till next week.

In brief

■ CANADA

‘Resolve strengthened’

By Michel coMte A gunman whose name was on a terror watch list killed a soldier and attempted to storm Canada’s parliament before being shot dead in turn by the assembly’s sergeant-at-arms.

The attack - the second this week targeting Canadian military personnel - came as Canadian jets were to join the USled bombing campaign against Islamist militants in Iraq.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged not to waver, saying Canada won’t be “intimidated” and would bolster its efforts to combat “terrorist” groups abroad.

The attacker, identified in the Canadian media as 32-yearold Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was considered a “high risk” suspect whose passport had been confiscated to prevent him fighting abroad.

Instead, he shot and killed a Canadian soldier who was mounting a ceremonial guard at a war memorial in downtown Ottawa before storming into the nearby parliament building.

The soldier was named in reports as Corporal Nathan Cirillo, part of a detachment on ceremonial duties at Parliament Hill, the heart of Canada’s national government and home to its legislature.

At least three people were admitted to hospital with minor injuries.

The attacker was killed, reportedly by a shot fired by the bearer of the House of Commons’ ceremonial mace, Sergeant-At-Arms Kevin Vickers, who was hailed as a hero by MPs. Police said an investigation was continuing, but Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said a lockdown in certain downtown areas was over, and that it ap-

peared the shooter had acted alone.

“It appears there was just one shooter. And that shooter is dead,” Watson told CNN. The attack came two days after an alleged Islamist ran over two soldiers, killing one of them, in what authorities branded a terrorist attack.

Authorities had raised the security threat level from low to medium after the car attack.

“Canada will never be intimidated,” Harper told the nation in a televised address.

“In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts... to fight against the terrorist organisations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores.”

MPs, staff and reporters, evacuated from the historic building on Parliament Hill,

spoke of intense gunfire inside.

Video footage posted online by the Globe and Mail newspaper showed police ducking for cover as they advanced along a stone hallway, loud gunfire echoing among parliament’s stone columns.

A member of parliament, Maurice Vellacott, said House of Commons security had told one of his aides the suspect had been killed inside parliament.

“I literally had just taken off my jacket to go into caucus. I hear this ‘pop, pop, pop’ - possibly 10 shots, don’t really know,” Liberal Party member John McKay told reporters outside.

“Suddenly security guards come rushing down the hallways and usher us all out to the back of the parliament buildings,” he said, as people scurried from the area.

Witnesses at the scene said they saw a man armed with a

rifle running into parliament after shooting a guard at the war memorial.

Passers-by told reporters that a bearded man had gunned down the soldier and hijacked a passing vehicle to take him the short distance to Parliament Hill. One witness, parliamentary aide Marc-Andre Viau, said he saw a man run past a caucus meeting, chased by police armed with rifles.

That was followed by “10, 15, maybe 20 shots,” possibly from an automatic weapon, Viau said.

Police raced to seal off the parliament building and Harper’s office, pushing reporters and bystanders back and blocking roads.

In Canada’s southern neighbour the US, President Barack Obama condemned the attack as “outrageous” after talking by telephone with Harper, the White House said.

Eightyear-old Sharni Bailey was thrilled to present Anne with a stuffed koala toy. But her grandmother Lyn Bailey said the princess seemed relieved she didn’t have to handle the real thing. “She turned the bear upside down and she said, ‘I think this is more friendly than the real ones’.”

MH17 over eastern Ukraine.

Russia has itself in the past been accused of failing to cooperate with the international investigation into the disaster, and of hampering efforts of investigators to reach the crash site.

The development comes after Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott last week said he would confront Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Brisbane, and demand that he fully cooperate

with the ongoing investigation.

The senior Russian official told a committee of the UN General Assembly that investigations into a number of incidents in Ukraine, including recently discovered mass graves in the country’s east and the MH17 disaster, had been poor. “[No-one] has been brought [to] account in connection with the recently discovered mass burials near Donetsk,” Mr Zaitsev said, according to the Russian news agency TASS.

“The investigation into the crash of MH17 flight of the Malaysia Airlines in fact reached its dead-end.”

Support for Palestine Ireland’s upper house of parliament has passed a motion calling on the Dublin government to recognise the state of Palestine in a symbolic move that is unlikely to change policy. The vote is the latest boost for Palestinian authorities campaigning for international recognition, coming after a similar vote by the British House of Commons and Sweden’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state. The motion called on the “government to formally recognise the state of Palestine and do everything it can to help secure a viable two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so that citizens of both states can live in peace and security”. - AFP

Game of Thrones Fans of the Game of Thrones fantasy TV series are flocking to the historic Spanish town of Osuna, where part of its fifth season is being filmed, fuelling hopes the show will deliver a lasting boost.

The tourism information centre in the southern town has extended its hours since filming began on October 16 to deal with the influx and hotels are fully booked until the end of the month when filming ends. Producers have kept details of the shoot in Osuna a secret but the town’s bull ring will reportedly be used for a battle scene involving hundreds of extras. - AFP

Inflation flat – OCR may stay low

Lower than expected inflation stats mean interest rates are likely to remain lower.

central bank’s target band of between 1 and 3 per cent.

“New Zealand looks ripe for an inflation blow out but the global environment is, fortuitously, conspiring against this,”

Bank of New Zealand head of research Stephen Toplis said in a note before the release.

“Taking all things into consideration, we have thus lowered both our short and medium

term inflation forecasts.”

BNZ expected the annual pace of inflation to be 1.2 per cent this quarter, and economists have been preparing to push out their interest rate expectations on the prospect of tepid inflation.

The New Zealand dollar dropped as low as 78.64 US cents from 79.09 cents immediately before the 10:45am release.

It was recently trading at 78.73 US cents.

Yesterday’s data showed cheaper household contents and services and communication kept a lid on inflation, while food prices, which account for about 19 per cent of the CPI, were flat in the quarter.

Prices of household contents and services fell 1.3 per cent in the quarter for an annual decline of 0.4 per cent. Retailers increased discounting of furniture and furnishings, carpets, and small household appliances

local economy. However, the long-term outlook for consumption in China is strong.

The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released this week, holding steady at 0.3 per cent for the quarter. This has slowed the annual rate from 1.6 per cent in the second quarter to 1.0 per cent, only just within the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) target range. The CPI is a measure of inflation and was influenced this quarter by a fall in groceries, communications and household services. Increases were seen in the cost of rates, rent and the new builds.

The rate was below both analyst and RBNZ estimates for quarterly increases of 0.5 percent and 0.7 per cent respectively. This is expected to further delay interest rate hikes by the RBNZ Governor.

Meanwhile in the US, investors were able to look at the earnings season for some positivity. So far this earnings season 63 of the 115 companies have reported from the S&P500.

Of these 54.8 per cent have beaten estimates and a further 22.6 per cent have met estimates. The tech sector has been

the winner so far, seeing sales growth of 6.25 per cent and earnings growth of 7.01 per cent, largely helped by market heavyweight Apple.

Apple has been the standout result so far beating expectations across the board. In what is traditionally a strong quarter for the technology company, estimates were blown out of the water as sales figures for iPhones smashed expectations by over a million units. The share price appreciated following the result and even stretched to a new all-time high of $104.11 per share.

Also in the tech sector, IBM’s result disappointed investors with lackluster sales showing that the company has lost momentum in the third quarter.

The company saw good growth in its strategic initiatives sector however this gain was erased by performances in most other areas. The company is continuing to implement cost saving initiatives and is refining its product mix. Management revised down IBMs full year earnings guidance by 2-4 per cent as well as future guidance.

Results due out next week in the US include Facebook, BP, Cummins, Statoil and Visa.

Markets plagued by volatility M arkets continue to be plagued by volatility this week as they digest results from the global reporting season, geopolitical risks and economic data.

Although most major indices have made gains for the week, intraday fluctuations have not been reflected but have characterised market performances.

Key economic data released this week from China did little to dispel fears of a slowdown in the world’s second largest economy. Third quarter GDP was the main piece of data, showing growth of 7.3 per cent for the year ended 30 September 2014. This was above analyst estimates of 7.2 per cent but still below the government’s targeted rate of 7.5 per cent.

China is now in serious danger of missing its official targeted growth rate for the first time in 15 years. Premier Li Keqiang has repeatedly said that slightly slower growth will be tolerated as they continue to reshape the economy, moving away from a nation that relies heavily on exports and instead sees growth from domestic demand.

China remains an area of concern for investors, as economic data continues look subdued in the wake of a cooling manufacturing sector and a weakening property market.

China is the biggest export market for both New Zealand and Australia, so any economic weakness would impact the

in the quarter.

Communication prices fell 1.4 per cent, led by a 7.5 per cent drop in prices for telecommunications equipment, which were down almost 25 per cent on the year.

Prices for housing and household utilities rose 1 per cent in the quarter for an annual increase of 3.4 per cent. New housing prices rose 1.1 per cent in the three month period, for an annual increase of 4.8 per cent, largely driven by booming property markets in Auckland and Christchurch.

House price inflation has been a major concern for the Reserve Bank, which last year imposed restrictions on low-equity home loans to try and quell demand and delay interest rate hikes, with a lack of supply in Auckland and the Canterbury rebuild seen as threatening to spill over into broader consumer price increases.

New Zealand inflation was steady in the third quarter of the year, slowing the annual pace of price increases, and raising the prospect of interest rates staying lower for longer after the data fell short of expectations. The New Zealand dollar fell.

The consumers price index was unchanged at 0.3 per cent in the three months ended September 30 from the second quarter, for an annual pace of 1 per cent, according to Statistics New Zealand.

The quarterly pace was lower than the 0.5 per cent expected in a Reuters survey of economists, and below the Reserve Bank’s 0.7 per cent forecast, opening up the possibility governor Graeme Wheeler will delay the resumption of hiking interest rates.

The annual pace slowed from 1.6 per cent in the second quarter, and was only just with the

■ SECURITY WARNING

In brief Follow the Brits

Attacks taken seriously Apple has posted a new security warning for users of its iCloud online storage service amid reports of a concerted effort to steal passwords and other data from people who use the popular service in China.

“We’re aware of intermittent organised network attacks using insecure certificates to obtain user information, and we take this very seriously,” the computer-maker said in a post on its support website.

The post said Apple’s own servers have not been compromised.

Apple’s post did not mention China or provide any details on the attacks.

But several news outlets reported that some Chinese Internet users have begun seeing warnings that indicate they had been diverted to an unauthorised website when they attempted to sign into their iCloud accounts.

That kind of diversion, known to computer security

experts as a “man in the middle” attack, could allow a third party to copy and steal the passwords that users enter when they think they are signing into Apple’s service.

Hackers could then use the passwords to collect other data from the users’ accounts.

Chinese activists blamed the attacks on that country’s government, according to news reports and the Chinese activist website GreatFire.org, which suggested the campaign was spurred by the fact that Apple recently began selling its new-

est iPhone models, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, in China.

The new smartphones have software with enhanced encryption features to protect Apple users’ data.

Apple, which is based in Cupertino, California, said in its post that the attacks have not affected users who sign into iCloud from their iPhones or iPads, or on Mac computers while using the latest Mac operating system and Apple’s Safari browser.

But the company suggested users should verify they are

connecting to a legitimate iCloud server by using the security features built into Safari and other browsers such as Firefox and Google’s Chrome.

The browsers will show a message that warns users when they are connecting to a site that doesn’t have a digital certificate verifying it is authentic.

“If users get an invalid certificate warning in their browser while visiting www.icloud.com, they should pay attention to the warning and not proceed,” Apple said in the post.

The attacks appear unrelated to an episode last month in which hackers stole nude photos from the iCloud accounts of several US celebrities.

In that case, Apple said its investigation concluded the hackers had obtained the users’ passwords through so-called “phishing attacks” or by guessing at the answers to the security questions that allowed access.

■ REVENUE $1.15BN

Yahoo turns in a massive profit Yahoo’s quarterly profit has surged with its sale of shares in Chinese internet powerhouse Alibaba.

It’s also seen improving results from its mobile internet initiatives.

Net profit jumped to US$6.8 billion ($8.5 billion), which included US$6.3 billion from its Alibaba shares. Profits excluding one-time items were stronger than expected.

Revenue from operations inched up a per cent to US$1.15 billion, according to third quarter results welcomed by chief executive Marissa Mayer, who is under pressure to show the company can flourish apart from its lucrative investment in Alibaba.

“We had a good, solid third quarter,” Mayer said. “We achieved this revenue growth through strong growth in our

new areas of investment - mobile, social, native and video - despite industry headwinds in some of our large, legacy businesses.”

More than US$200 million in revenue came from mobile devices, with gross revenue from ads served up on devices such as smartphones or tablet computers projected to bring in more than US$1.2 billion for Yahoo this year, according to Mayer.

Hoverboard that works Hoverboards aren’t in short supply on Kickstarter, and you can in fact make your own makeshift version with a leaf blower and a bit of plywood, but this latest version from Hendo works on the method the Back to the Future trilogy envisioned, using a magnetic field to generate lift. “The magic behind the hoverboard lies in its four discshaped hover engines,” creators Hendo Hover explain on Kickstarter.

“These create a special magnetic field which literally pushes against itself, generating the lift which levitates our board off the ground.”

No need for a raise Satya Nadella won’t need to worry too much about asking for a raise.

The Microsoft CEO, who found himself in the hot seat earlier this month after making controversial remarks about women and raises, was awarded compensation valued at more than $US84 million (NZ$105.45m), according to a securities filing released on Monday.

Nadella’s compensation is composed of a nearly $919,000 salary, an annual bonus of $3.6m and stock awards valued at nearly $80m.- NZH

mobile and we are seeing those investments pay off,” she said.

“Not only are our mobile products attracting praise from users and industry awards, they are generating meaningful revenue for Yahoo.”

People found guilty of internet “trolling” in Britain could be jailed for up to two years under new government proposals, following a number of high-profile cases of abusive and threatening behaviour on Twitter. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told the Mail on Sunday: “This is a law to combat cruelty - and marks our determination to take a stand against a baying cyber-mob.” There has been increasing concern in Britain about the growing scourge of internet “trolls” who post hate-filled messages on social media. - NZH

Softball tries again

Softball struck out on its scheduled opening day as rain washed out play last Saturday. Tomorrow the teams, from T-ball to senior mixed, will be itching to get out on the diamond for the first time this summer. T-Ballers and Little League step up to the plate from 9am with the senior mixed grade at 1pm at Argyle Park.

Battle of Blackridge The Tinwald Cycling Club resume battle around the Blackridge block in the fifth week of road racing season on Sunday. The open grade riders are on the road from 2pm for a graded scratch, with a 60km haul for the A and B riders, 40km for C and D. The juniors and Division two riders have a 2okm handicap starting at 12.45pm.

Odd shirt swap Fuming Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will take action against Mario Balotelli after he swapped shirts with Real Madrid’s Pepe at halftime of Wednesday’s 3-0 Champions League defeat against the holders at Anfield. Rodgers already planned to haul off Balotelli during the interval after growing frustrated with the latest in a growing list of lacklustre displays from the eccentric Italy striker since his August move from AC Milan.

Podolksi the hero Late goals by Kieran Gibbs and Lukas Podolski handed Arsenal a dramatic 2-1 win away to Anderlecht in their Champions League clash in Brussels on Wednesday evening.

An Andy Najar header in the 71st minute looked set to give the Belgian champions a rare European victory at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium until Gibbs volleyed in a Calum Chambers cross with a minute left. Substitute Podolski then struck a minute into injury time to seal all three points, to the great relief of Gunners’ manager Arsene Wenger on his 65th birthday. After a run of just two wins in nine games in all competitions, it looked set to be another evening to forget for Wenger, but the Frenchman can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to a result that leaves the Premier League club in a strong position in Group D. - AFP

Calculator to decide finalists

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The calculators are certain to come out to determine who will play in senior cricket’s Twenty20 final tomorrow with Tech’s stranglehold on the trophy hanging in the balance.

With the two matches rained off last weekend the road to the final will likely be determined by net run-rate, with Tech facing a knockout match

that, whatever the result, will produce a tie for second place.

Allenton and Coldstream are the only two teams with two wins from the opening round and they meet each other tomorrow with the winner advancing to the final.

All is not lost for the loser as if they can maintain a healthy run rate they will still be in the running when the calculators come out.

The other match of significance sees the two one-win teams, Lauriston and Tech, go head-to-head to decide which team will finish second equaland a chance to advance to the final.

Six-time winners, Tech, are the only team to have ever won the Twenty20 competition, and they snuck into last year’s final when results went their way at the end of the round robin.

They then turned on a trademark performance of big hitting and restrictive bowling to beat Allenton by 66 runs in the final - Allenton’s second Twenty20 finals defeat.

In the other match the winless Methven and Lauriston B get the chance to notch up a consolation win ahead of the start of the Pritchard Shield 45-over competition next weekend.

Parker avoids Klitschko Rather than take a big step up in quality for his next fight in December, Joseph Parker will be forced to go sideways with his next opponent, likely to be American brawler Vinny Maddalone, but the continued interest shown from Wladimir Klitschko should provide its own boost. The Klitschko camp have again made contact with Parker’s promoters, however, the Parker camp have once again had to say no, due to the closeness of their man’s bout which will headline the Fight for Life event in Hamilton on December 6. - APNZ

Ryder’s lightning ton Jesse Ryder has sent the New Zealand selectors a timely reminder of his abilities, smoking a 39-ball century against Ireland yesterday.

With the Black Caps currently searching for an opener ahead of next year’s World Cup, Ryder hit 15 boundaries and five sixes as he raced to triple figures in Lincoln.

Ryder has been overlooked for the national side after a number of behavioural issues but he let his bat do the talking in the one-day match at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval.

Improved fitness key in Fruean return

By Patrick Mckendry Cut by the Chiefs after just one season, Robbie Fruean’s improved fitness will see him make a dramatic return to the Crusaders next year.

Centre Fruean will next week be announced as a full squad member of the Crusaders after his impressive showing with Hawkes Bay, who will contest the ITM Cup championship final against Manawatu tonight.

Fruean, 26, has played 11 matches for the Magpies this season, at an average of 79 minutes each - a far cry from the four matches he played for

the Chiefs this year following more difficulties with his heart.

The powerful runner had to undergo his second heart operation last year to replace a faulty valve, and moved to the Chiefs after the Crusaders were prepared to offer him only a wider training group place.

He started well for the Chiefs, scoring against his former team in Christchurch in the first match, but later suffered from an accelerated heartbeat which restricted his appearances.

Fruean’s signing at the Chiefs was made with much fanfare but Sonny Bill Williams’ return has helped to squeeze him out

Robbie Fruean: Crusader again.

and the Crusaders, impressed with the improvements Fruean has made, have swooped once again after first signing him from the Hurricanes for the 2010 season.

Fruean is said to have run 10km during the Magpies’ 26-21 semi-final victory over

Northland at McLean Park last weekend, a testament to his improvement fitness and workrate.

Fruean, who has offloaded 19 times in this season’s ITM Cup - the fourth best in the competition - will be a powerful addition to the Crusaders’ midfield.

Fruean, Ryan Crotty and Kieron Fonotia will be the main options for Todd Blackadder, but, with Colin Slade performing well at No10 this year, Dan Carter could again be used as a second-five.

New Zealand’s Super Rugby squads will be announced next Wednesday.

Ford star Mark Winterbottom can get by V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup - with a little help from his friends. Winterbottom heads into this weekend’s Gold Coast 600 trailing Whincup in the standings by 297 points. Three events remain in 2014, meaning time is running out for Winterbottom to close the gap on his rival.

A maximum haul of 300 points is potentially on offer if the 2013 Bathurst champion can win both races at Surfers Paradise.

Fans wary of Packer South Sydney fans welcome James Packer’s money but some question his intentions. The billionaire gambling mogul agreed to take over Peter Holmes a Court’s 37.5 per cent club share yesterday. Many were quick to welcome the commercial opportunities Packer’s involvement could bring to the club. Others are wondering what satisfaction the lifetime fan of the Bunnies’ Sydney rivals, the Roosters, can get from his multimillion-dollar investment.- AAP

World Series levelled Omar Infante smashed his first playoff home run to cap a fiverun outburst yesterday, giving the Kansas City Royals a 7-2 victory over San Francisco to level the 110th World Series. By breaking open a 2-2 game in the sixth inning, the Royals deadlocked the best-ofseven Major League Baseball final with the Giants at 1-1 as the scene shifts to San Francisco for games three through five today, Saturday and Sunday.

Caterham in crisis Formula One strugglers Caterham were plunged into a fresh crisis yesterday when the team’s new owners launched a bitter attack on former supremo Tony Fernandes.

Caterham were bought in June by a consortium of Swiss and Middle Eastern interests. But they claimed they have been running the backmarkers without being the legal owners after a row over transfer of shares.

Hammers up for big final

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hooker Jon Sharpe has not been able to recover from injury to return for Mid Canterbury in the Meads Cup final against Buller in Westport tomorrow.

The Hammers have named an unchanged line-up from the side that took down Poverty Bay 29-22 in Gisborne last week.

Sharpe strained his calf in the opening minutes of the win over North Otago three weeks ago, with Jackson Donlan filling in superbly in his absence.

Donlan will start at hooker again after Sharpe was unable to pass a fitness test last night.

The versatile Seta Koroitamana has retained the left wing spot, keeping Willie McGoon on the bench with Koroitamana also providing loose forward cover.

The reserves are again a 3-4 forward-back split, with 13 of the match-day 22 featured in last year’s final winning team, while Eric Duff was on the losing North Otago side.

Buller beat Mid Canterbury 29-19 in Ashburton and had a tough - albeit unbeaten - run to the final, including last week’s injury-time win over Horowhenua Kapiti.

Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore has taken a look back at the game tapes and doesn’t believe they need to change too much from the last time around.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) You have reached an utterly extraordinary day for financial and money matters, with a solar eclipse creating a chance for a fresh start.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) A powerful turning point on the relationship front is the point where the last 2 years prove to be a practice run for an incredible 2 months ahead.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The Sun’s return to your work sector today will not only shift the solar focus onto work matters, it’s likely to draw a major new line in the sand.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) A dramatic push to make matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, creative and romantic a priority means all work and no play isn’t an option.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Just hours after the Sun and Venus return to your home and family sector, today’s solar eclipse brings a chance to draw a major line in the sand.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) It’s your relationships in particular that will benefit from the extraordinary chance today’s solar eclipse creates for a communication breakthrough.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) As the Sun, Venus and the Moon return to your income sector this will trigger a solar eclipse, opening the door to new possibilities and options.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The Sun’s return to your sign today not only kicks off your birthday month and the start of a new solar year, but in a fairly dramatic way.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Don’t be surprised if all of a sudden it feels like the wind has been taken out of your sails, as the month long wind down of your old solar year begins.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While the professional momentum will continue it becomes more a review phase, with the focus shifting to personal and professional networking.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) On the same day that Saturn moves into his final 2 months in your career sector a tailwind kicks in, new doors open and a line in the sand is drawn.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) All of a sudden money becomes simply a means to an end, as life’s other options open up. Life is no longer just about the money.

Breakers crash to second loss

BY KRIS SHANNON The positivity surrounding the Breakers’ fast start to the season took another hit last night, being narrowly edged by the tabletopping Cairns Taipans.

After beginning what they hope will be a bounce back campaign with wins over both of last year’s grand finalists, the Breakers slipped to 2-2 on a

tough night at the North Shore Events Centre.

The home side’s offence was again out of sorts and, with none of the Breakers’ key men taking charge of proceedings, the Taipans’ team game saw them run their record to 5-0 on the new season.

A 29-15 advantage in the third quarter proved decisive for the visitors and, although they

Balotelli upsets the coach - again P16

briefly threatened, the Breakers were unable to complete the desired comeback as the clock wore down.

Following a small setback against Melbourne on Sunday, last night’s defeat left the true quality of these Breakers in question.

Will they be the side that survived a fierce fightback from defending champions Perth on

opening night or the one that could never quite kick into gear for a second straight game?

The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle but the Breakers’ fortunes will certainly be improved if they can halt this slide when they visit Wollongong on Sunday.

If they wish to avoid a losing record, the Breakers will need to make improvements on both

ends of the floor. Only a poor shooting display from Cairns avoided further damage, while the Breakers were seriously deficient with ball in hand.

They struggled without an influential contribution from a key man, with Cedric Jackson experiencing something of an off night as he battled standout Taipans import Scottie Wilbekin.
