Mid Canterbury criminals have been warned: the district’s police have them firmly in their sights in an operation that has only just begun.

Police confirmed recent raids targeting people suspected of being linked to the drug trade were just the first in a push that will soon enter its next phase.

Operation Webster’s next phase will run much longer than a single day in an approach to tackling crime that police want to be successful and “sustainable”.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield, of Ashburton police, yesterday confirmed planning would soon start for a new and sustained focus on the district’s criminal groups.

“We are planning the next phase in the next couple of weeks,” Mr Banfield said.

“It will just be, again, targeting criminal groups and individuals that we have identified and providing that community reassurance.

“The big long-term thing for us is to make sure it’s sustainable and we will run these kinds of operations in with the likes of the alcohol ones we’ve run recently.”

Meanwhile, police yesterday said they were looking for a person of interest following a series of drugs raids on Mid Canterbury properties on Wednesday.

Search warrants were executed at eight addresses and the raids resulted in 13 arrests and 44 charges.

Four of the 13 people arrested on Wednesday appeared in the Christchurch District Court yesterday and all were bailed with no plea to appear in the Ashburton District Court.

The remaining nine people arrested will also appear in the Ashburton District Court.

Mr Banfield said Operation Webster was a result of months of hard work and planning by police, assisted by information received from the community.

People often offered information to the police and because nothing happened straight away, they assumed they’d done nothing with it.

But often information led to, and formed part of, a bigger picture like that which became clearer with Wednesday’s raids, he said.

Walk on the dark side

Eric Bana’s freaky new crimehorror flick Deliver Us From Evil has hit Australian screens. The Australian actor has taken a walk on the dark side for perhaps the first time since 2000. In this US film directed by Scott Derrickson, Bana stars as New York cop Ralph Sarchie, who finds his beliefs shaken when a series of inexplicable and horrifying crimes start to threaten not only his city, but also his family. He teams up with an unconventional priest, schooled in exorcism to help solve the cases. The movie is based on Sarchie’s book and filled with his chilling, real-life cases that are sure to spook the keenest of horror seekers.

Duran Duran sues fan club Popular 1980s band Duran Duran is suing its own fan club. The group accuses the suburban Chicago-based club of breaching its contract by not paying the band promised revenue. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Duran Duran’s lawsuit names Glenview-based Worldwide Fan Clubs, Inc. as the defendant.

The suit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court this week. It says the band entered a 2010 contract allowing the club to collect memberships and sell merchandise. The contract also allegedly stipulates Duran Duran would get 75 per cent of the profits. Worldwide Fan Clubs said the company had no comment on the lawsuit.

Braff had an Australian friend sitting next to him as he chatted with host Kyle Sandilands and his offsider Jackie O. She told him to ask “why our prime minister wears budgie smugglers,” the confused 39-year-old Scrubs star said. Braff conceded he didn’t know what “a budgie smuggler” was, prompting Sandilands to explain the snug-fitting swimwear’s infamous nickname. Braff said: “I was about to say that’s ballsy ... Australians are very fit, he probably has abs.” But Sandilands clarified Abbott’s abdominals don’t live up to those of fellow Australian Hugh Jackman.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Council eyes gym management

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council is likely to become the owneroperator of the EA Networks Centre’s new gym complex.

Two years ago district councillors decided local gym owners would have an opportunity to tender for the gym lease; yesterday they changed their minds.

Members of the council’s finance and business support committee supported a recommendation that the council revoked the decision to give local

gyms first crack at running the centre, replacing it with a recommendation that brought it under council control for three years.

A decision would then be made whether to keep the business in-house or put it on the open market.

A final vote will be taken at the August 6 council meeting.

In support of council running the gym, service delivery manager Neil McCann said that of the 28 councils owning gyms and swimming pools in the same facility, 27 had integrated

the operation and management of the two functions as a council service.

The experience of other councils should be used as a guide for how Ashburton managed and ran its gym, councillor Darryl Nelson said.

“If it works for them, why wouldn’t it work for us?”

Indicative running costs for the EA Networks gym showed it would make a profit of more than $200,000 a year.

Mayor Angus McKay said he was all for private enterprise but was convinced that a council

run gym was the best way to go for all ratepayers because of the income it would provide.

“Yes it could be seen as a slap in the face for local gym owners but it’s the best way forward.”

Mr McKay said he accepted there would be some disappointed local gym owners but the council had to make the right decisions for ratepayers.

Revoking the earlier decision was about giving a new team of councillors an opportunity to take a fresh look at the gym management issue, councillor Don McLeod said.

“This is just a starting point.

This is an indication of the direction we think we might take.

“We have plenty of time before the council meeting to consider all the issues.”

The council had moved a long way from where it was two years ago and had more management expertise and experience, he said.

“It makes sense to have a look at this ourselves to see if it’s profitable and to see if we can manage it and then make any decisions on whether it goes to tender or not.”

■ BARING SQUARE METHODIST CHURCH

$1m restoration cost ‘not the end of the bills’

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Saving Ashburton’s historic Baring Square church will come with a $1 million price tag, but the spending won’t end there.

At a community meeting last night to discuss ideas for using a restored church and hall, it was made clear by synod strategic planner Jill Hawkey that restoration would not be the end of the bills.

The church was closed after the September 2010 earthquakes and estimates are that it will cost $1 million to repair it. An insurance payout of $830,000 is sitting in the church’s bank account and the Methodist synod will help bridge the $170,000 building gap.

“The real issue is not the finance, it’s the use of the building long term. Can we justify spending $830,000 on repairing a building that’s only used a few hours a week? Would we be better to use this money to upgrade the rest of this place and demolish the old church?” Mrs

Hawkey said. With the church restored, the parish would still have to foot bills for maintenance and insurance and if the building was valued at $4 million, the insurance bill would be high. The parish couldn’t afford it if the church was used just as a church, she said.

Mrs Hawkey said the parish had to understand if there were groups in the community that had a need for the facility or whether there were other facilities already meeting that need before it made a decision.

From the 50 people at the meeting, several ideas were put forward including using the church and the hall for regular craft fairs, tower tours with afternoon tea, marketing it as a wedding or funeral venue, promotion as an intimate theatre and concert venue, creating dedicated music studios for tutoring in the hall with performances in the church and as a community church that was open all day for people to use.

While community ideas were

valuable, the grim reality was that members would have to make the final decision to repair or demolish their church, Mrs

Hawkey said.

“In making that decision, it is important to distinguish between the church and the build-

ings; the church is really the people but this is also a sacred space filled with many memories.”

■ ASHBURTON DRUG RAIDS

Four released on bail Four people arrested in a drug raid conducted by armed police in Ashburton on Wednesday have been released on bail Angela Lee Kim Weir, 24, Christopher Leon Weir, 23, Daniel Joseph Patrick Leahy, 23, and Joshua Bettle, 28, appeared in the Christchurch District Court before Judge Emma Smith yesterday morning, after spending the night in custody.

Angela Weir, from the Lismore district, faces five counts of supplying and one of supplying methamphetamine, five of selling cannabis, and one of possessing cannabis for supply.

Leahy, who also lives at the Lismore address, is charged with supplying methamphetamine, supplying amphetamine and possession of a cannabis bong.

Christopher Weir, of Hampstead, is charged with two counts of supplying metham-

phetamine and one of selling cannabis.

Joshua Aaron Bettle, of Ashburton, faces two charges of supplying methamphetamine, and two of selling cannabis.

All four were remanded without plea to appear in the Ashburton District Court on August 18.

Police did not oppose bail, but imposed conditions stipu-

lating residences and non-association orders. Bettle must report to the Ashburton Police Station three times a week.

The charges relate to offending alleged to have occurred between November last year and July.

The other nine people arrested in the raids were released on police bail, and will appear in the Ashburton court at a later date.

Operation Webster involved 67 police officers, including members of the armed offenders’ squad.

Mid/South Canterbury Area Commander, Inspector Dave Gaskin, said the raids were the result of months of police work, armed at targeting the town’s “drug underbelly” in response to rising crime rates.

Many thefts were committed to pay drugs.

He called on the community to report suspicious activity.

■ NATIONAL EDUCATION STANDARDS

Figures show Ashburton decline

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

National standards education figures which suggest overall primary school level attainment has slipped in the Ashburton District have been likened to comparing “apples with fruit salad”.

The district education profile, released yesterday, suggests overall attainment in reading, writing and maths slipped last year when compared to 2012.

Elsewhere, APNZ reported the number of primary and intermediate school children achieving or bettering the national standard in reading had

either fallen or flatlined in half the country’s 16 regions.

According to the profile, 76.5 per cent of Ashburton District’s primary-aged children were at or above the national standards for reading last year.

That was 3.2 percentage points less than in 2012.

For maths, 76.9 per cent were at or above the national standards, down 0.6 percentage points. For writing, 69.3 per cent were at or above the standards, down 1.8 percentage points.

Primary school girls appeared to do better than boys across all three categories, es-

pecially in reading and writing.

The percentage of qualified 18 year olds with NCEA Level 2 or equivalent improved 2.7 percentage points, to 77.9 per cent. Maori and Pacifica attainment had double-digit rises.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president, primary school principal Chris Murphy, warned local figures may have been affected by an influx of 500 students between 2012 and 2013. The increase made the figures “static” - “so you are not comparing apples with apples, you are comparing apples with a fruit salad really”.

“Even though it says we (pri-

mary schools) have gone down 3.2 per cent in reading and down 0.6 per cent in maths and 1.8 per cent in writing there could actually be a positive gain if you are comparing children that have been in the district, that were here in 2012.”

Roll movements affected other measures. There were 375 Maori students in 2013 but just 285 the year earlier. The number of Pacifica students more than doubled from 115 to 263.

Principals had expressed concern about the growth to the Ministry of Education in the past. This growth made comparisons difficult.

In brief Turia’s farewell Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia handed an olive branch to the party she walked out on 10 years ago in her farewell speech to Parliament last night but said she had absolutely no regrets about doing so, nor about signing up for government with National.

In an often moving valedictory speech, Mrs Turia recalled her decision to leave Labour over the Foreshore and Seabed Act as a turning point in her life. “I am not sorry that I left. It was the most evocative moment of my life – to feel the will of the people, the calling of our tupuna, to reclaim the essence of who we are, to stand up for what we knew was right.” Mrs Turia and fellow founder of the Maori Party Pita Sharples both gave their final addresses to a packed public gallery, full of supporters, and former colleagues including Willie Jackson, John Tamihere and former Governor General Sir Anand Satyanand and his wife Lady Susan.

Woman seriously hurt A 21-year-old Hamilton woman has serious injuries after her car left the road and crashed down a slope about 100m long in Waitomo yesterday. Waikato-King Country Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to the incident about 5.20pm. A spokesman said the woman used her cell phone to direct emergency staff to her whereabouts. “It was lucky that she had that phone otherwise ... it might have taken quite a bit longer to find her and realise she was missing.”

It was impounded by animal control for the second time last week and was reunited with its owner yesterday and walked back from the pound to its 3000 sq m stomping ground. “He’s part of the family, we’ve become very close to him,” Mr Rakei-Clark said. “He’s like one of our dogs.

It’s Hakatere, not Whakatere

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburtonians could be forgiven for thinking TV3 weather coverage during Maori Language Week has incorrectly identified Hakatere as Whakatere – and they would be right.

The spelling was mistakenly provided to the television company by the Maori Language Commission.

While human error was to blame this week, it was once spelt that way many years ago.

Tiipene Philip, of Hakatere Marae, understood Hakatere was originally known as Whangatere in pre-Europe-

an times. It meant “fast river mouth” to the early Maori people due to the nature of the Hakatere River which was large and swift.

Mr Philip said with the arrival of Ngai Tahu and earlier Kati Mamoe people there were dialect differences and the ‘ng’ was changed to ‘k’ which changed the spelling to Whakatere.

“Then somehow due to local useage/dialect the ‘w’ has been dropped,” he said.

Hakatere Marae spokeswoman Janet Benfell said the spelling was centuries old and there were no plans to change the way the marae is known today – without the w.

Gareth Seymour, of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori (Maori Language Commission) said human error was to blame with the addition of a w for Hakatere not picked up in double checking of the information.

He had since notified TV3 of the mistake and apologised to the whanau of Hakatere Marae for the error.

MediaWorks TV senior news and current affairs publicist Amy Prebble said TV3 was previously unaware of the error and it would be corrected.

“Maori is an official language of New Zealand and it is really important to TV3 to get Maori place names right, which is why

we work with the Maori Language Commission,” she said in a statement to the Guardian.

“In this instance, incorrect information was supplied to us.

We appreciate that the error has

been brought to our attention and we will rectify it as soon as possible.”

The place name had been corrected in time for last night’s 6pm news/weather bulletin.

■ GLASGOW COMMONWEALTH GAMES

Opening ceremony ‘electric’

By Erin TaskEr and JonaThan LEask Megan and Brian Ellis have tickets at the ready, and their fingers crossed.

This weekend they’ll be trackside as their daughter, Lauren, races for gold on the velodrome at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and they could not be prouder.

The Ellis family hails from Hinds and Megan and Brian have been behind Lauren every step of her career so far – a career which has already seen her win a silver Commonwealth Games medal in Delhi.

Yesterday morning (NZ time) Megan and Brian were among the large Kiwi contingent packed into Celtic Park for the bright, loud and festive opening ceremony.

“The opening was amazing.

The atmosphere was electric with every country getting a warm welcome from the crowd,” Megan said.

“We were surrounded by

Kiwis so there was a huge roar when New Zealand marched in.”

A number of sports, including Ellis and her fellow track cyclists, the triathletes and swimmers, were not represented at the opening ceremony as they’re competing in the early stages of the Games.

“It will be very exciting getting to watch Lauren compete,” Megan said.

“We managed to catch up with her (yesterday). Her first race is on Friday (Scotland time) so it’s just a waiting game now.

“She has put everything in to her training and our fingers will be crossed.”

Ellis has had limited time on the track at the top level since the London Olympics games and is excited, although a little unsure how she will fare.

“It’s really hard to say where my form is sitting at the moment. I really won’t know until I get into the race and really test my legs,” Ellis said.

She feels there is an expectation to deliver a medal in Glasgow, when she rides in the individual pursuit (July 25), scratch race (26th) and the points race (27th).

“I feel that my best chance of a medal will come from the points and scratch races.

“Bunch races on the track are difficult to control the outcome of. There are so many factors that influence your performance compared to something like the team pursuit where you ride against the clock.”

Ellis may also pick up a fourth ride, as she’s listed as the reserve for the women’s road race.

Snowden takes aim at 2nd gold

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s John Snowden will take his first shot at defending his Commonwealth Games gold medal tonight.

Fullbore rifle shooter Snowden will feature in tonight’s action in Glasgow, combining with Mike Collings for day one of the fullbore pairs competition – the event in which the two won gold at the Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010.

The pairs competition will be held over two days, before three days of individual competition – during which both Snowden and Collings will be aiming for glory.

They’ve been making the most of practice days this week, with Snowden having earlier gained confidence with a strong finish in the United Kingdom Queen’s Final.

Snowden shot well enough at the British Rifle Association’s Imperial Meet to advance to the Queen’s final, which consisted of 15 shots each at 900 and 1000 yards for the top 100 shooters, with some 1200 shooters on the range at the start of the week.

At 900 Snowden scored an impressive 74.7 out of a possible 75 and then at 1000 he scored 71.3 to finish 22nd overall.

There was only a couple of points between first and 30th place.

■ INTERSECTION FEARS RAISED

Resident suggests quick fix

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Phil Lowe says that the quick fix for a dangerous rural intersection could be as simple as swapping a Give Way sign from one road to another.

He’s watched traffic volumes increase along Ashburton River Road and says it has now become a major route for milk tankers. The problems occur when truckies don’t see the Give Way sign at the intersection with Springfield Road West, he said.

Currently Springfield Road West traffic has right of way through the intersection and in theory that should see Ashburton River Road traffic slowing down as it approaches the giveway sign.

The reality is, most of the vehicles just barrel on through, Mr Lowe said.

Earlier this week he watched a near miss between a truck and a school bus. That’s not the first close call and he believes it won’t

be the last. He’s concerned that there will be an accident before something is done.

The solution, Mr Lowe said, is as simple as digging out the Give Way sign and relocating it

on Springfield Road West.

He’s alerted the Ashburton District Council.

■ SUPREME PIE AWARDS

Two local bakeries vie for honours Two Ashburton bakeries will today find out if their best pies have won them national recognition.

Judging started yesterday in the annual New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards, and among the almost 5000 entries were 12 of Matt Harvey’s finest and just one pie baked

by Manny Sim. The pair are pie awards regulars and this year Mr Harvey said he’d decided to go all out, entering most mainstream pie categories as well as the gourmet sections.

In addition to nine more conventional pies, he’s entered a smokey barbecue beef, bacon and cheese and a pear, Thai ginger and caramel pie in the two gourmet sections. He’s also holding out high hopes for his roasted vegetable and camembert cheese in the vegetarian section.

Mr Sim opted for just one pie with which to fly his bakery’s flag, a Thai green chicken curry he’s entered in the gourmet section.

Today gold, silver and bronze awards in each of the 12 categories will be made, with recipients invited to an awards ceremony on July 29 where category and supreme champion awards will be made.

The 5000 pies from 532 bakeries entered in this year’s competition is the highest number in the competition’s 18 year history.

Last year New Zealand’s best was a mince and cheese pie.

“They said it was a good idea but nothing has happened. I’ve called them again and this time they said they’d look at it in the spring time.”

That response is not good enough, he said.

Council contracts manager Brian Fauth said he was aware of Mr Lowe’s concerns.

The council had gathered quite a bit of information on the intersection and already planned to seal a stretch of road – at a farmer’s request and expense.

The council was often alerted to a need for changed controls by residents and this could be done if traffic counts confirmed the change in traffic numbers, Mr Fauth said.

A similar situation on Somerton and Wilkinson Roads where residents had raised concerns, resulted in the relocation of a traffic control sign, he said.

“It’s all about changing use, and if it’s brought to our attention, then we’ll look at it.”

In brief Cold case solved?

A 20-year-old cold case may have been solved after forestry workers in the Brynderwyn Hills discovered the remains of a missing Northland man. Specialist police in the search and rescue squad were at the scene with family members recovering the remains and some personal items yesterday. A team of workers planting pines found the remains close to a tree stump.

Some cards including a bank card were found which helped police quickly identify the man and that he had been reported missing in September 1994.

Resignation rejected Prime Minister John Key has declined to accept Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee’s offer of resignation, after Mr Brownlee and two of his staff deliberately bypassed airport security yesterday. “Running late for a plane I took a door that is normally used for an exit at Christchurch airport onto the forecourt,” Mr Brownlee told reporters. He has now apologised unreservedly for the action.

Police apology Police have apologised to Malcolm Rewa’s victims over the length of time it took to catch the serial rapist and prevent his offending.

This “unquestionably had a devastating impact on his victims”, Assistant Police Commissioner Malcolm Burgess said. The IPCA released a report that found police failed to properly investigate an attack on a woman, known as Ms A, in 1987. Failures included not taking a statement from Ms A who identified Rewa as the offender.

■ ROSE AND THISTLE ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER NO 35

Lodge chapter marks 100th birthday Ashburton’s Rose and Thistle Royal Arch Chapter No 35 members were joined by New Zealand’s First Grand Principal Most Excellent Companion Les Borell this week as they celebrated the 100 year anniversary of their chapter.

Pictured from the men’s fraternity were Merv Green (front left) Mr Borrell, John Burn, Andrew Brown, John Kinvig and Jim Rainey.

Milner Jacob (from back left), Alex Thomson, Dennis Gordon, Ralph Askin, John Soper, Jim Ironside, Ray Gudex and Don Smith.

Royal Arch members and prestigious guests recognised the occasion with a meeting, then celebrated with partners over dinner.

Royal Arch Chapter No 35 secretary Andrew Brown said Masonry

was one of the oldest and largest fraternal organisations. Its members supported hospitals and the aged, gave relief to people in distress and had scholarships for students.

The Ashburton chapter started in 1914 with a modest group of 18 members.

In the past century membership had risen and fallen and was now steady with 30 members.

Royal Arch Masonry was described as a continuation of the journey which began in Craft Masonry.

The name Rose and Thistle Royal Arch reflected “the joining hands of the English and Scottish heritage” found throughout New Zealand.

The next centennial celebration of any other Royal Arch Masonry within Canterbury was not expect until 2048.

In brief

No winners, says Clinton Former US president Bill Clinton says Russia is treating its conflict with Ukraine as a zerosum game.

In a wide-ranging speech in Adelaide yesterday, Mr Clinton paid tribute to the victims of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which crashed in pro-Russia territory in Ukraine’s east, and reflected on time spent in the country during his presidency.

The former president said he believed Kiev had no desire for conflict and wanted to act as a bridge between Russia and Europe. “(But) in Russia, I don’t think so,” he said. “(Russia) insist on a zero-sum game: ‘If Europe is helped by the Ukrainians, then it’s gotta be bad for us’.

“You see the difference in the mindset.

“Are we going to share the future or are we going to fight over it?”

Ashburton Guardian

Mr Clinton was speaking at the official launch of Torrens University Australia, the newest addition to the Laureate International Universities network, of which he is honorary chancellor.

The former president said countries were more interdependent than ever before, which had positive and negative consequences.

The need for trust and co-operation had never been greater, he said.

Mr Clinton also teased the prospect of his wife, Hillary, running for president in 2016, as has been widely speculated.

“The great thing about not being president any more is I can say whatever I want,” he joked.

“The sad thing is no one has to hear what I have to say unless, of course, your wife might run for office (so) don’t screw it up.”

Bill Clinton: ‘Now I can say whatever I want’.

Plane crash toll hits 48 Taiwanese officials are defending a flight clearance given to a plane which crashed while trying to land during stormy weather, killing 48 people.

Flight GE222 was carrying 54 passengers and four crew on a domestic flight when it crashed on Wednesday at Magong on the Penghu island chain, with 10 surviving the disaster.

Two French medical students were among the dead, the foreign ministry in Paris said.

The ATR 72-500 was flying from the southwestern city of Kaohsiung to the islands off the west coast and had been delayed as Typhoon Matmo pounded Taiwan, according to authorities.

It was trying to land a second time after aborting a first attempt during thunder and heavy rain, crashing into two houses near Magong airport and injuring five people on the ground.

Questions have been raised about why the flight was allowed to fly so soon after the typhoon.

“Many people were questioning why the plane took off in typhoon weather ... according to my understanding the meteorology data showed that it met the aviation safety requirements,” transport minister Yeh Kuang-shih told reporters.

Officials said two planes landed safely at Magong airport shortly before the disaster.

Yesterday, the scattered remains of the plane could be seen as more than 100 rescuers - including firefighters and soldiers - worked to remove bodies and

A teenager who doused a woman in petrol and set her alight in inner Sydney says he still has nightmares over his “horrific and evil act”. “I still don’t believe that I’ve done what I’ve done,” he told his sentence hearing at Downing Centre Court yesterday. “I wish I could go back and change things ... it was a horrific and evil act I’ve done.”

The woman suffered third-degree burns to 45 per cent of her face, neck, chest, arms and legs and has several surgeries as a result. - AAP

debris from the scene. It was not clear if all the bodies had been removed.

At a nearby funeral home, dozens of relatives - including the elderly and children - sobbed as they waited to identify whether their loved ones had been killed.

Volunteers tried to comfort them as headshot photographs of the victims were posted on the wall to help with identification.

Penghu county deputy fire chief Hsu Wen-kuang said it took firefighters almost an hour to douse fires after the plane burst into flames on impact.

Investigators are looking into the cause of the crash, including why the plane was cleared to fly in bad weather.

The airline said the pilot was 60-yearold Lee Yi-liang who has 22 years of experience, accumulating nearly 23,000 flight hours. The co-pilot was 39-yearold Chiang Kuan-hsin with two and a half years of experience.

As some relatives arrived in Penghu, others were seen waiting at the airports in Kaohsiung and Taipei to get on a flight to Penghu.

The mother of one survivor said: “My daughter called me. She said ‘mum, my plane crashed’.

She said she climbed out and borrowed a phone from others.”

TransAsia, Taiwan’s first private airline, also runs international flights to China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam.

It is due to launch the island’s first low-cost airline later this year.

Surgeons in India have removed 232 teeth from the mouth of a teenager in what they believe may be a world-record operation. Ashik Gavai, 17, sought medical help for a swelling on the right side of his lower jaw and the case was referred to Mumbai’s JJ Hospital, where they found he was suffering from a condition known as complex odontoma, head of dentistry Sunanda Dhivare-Palwankar said. “We operated on Monday and it took us almost seven hours. We thought it may be a simple surgery, but once we opened it there were multiple pearl-like teeth inside the jawbone,” she said. After removing those, they also found a larger “marble-like” structure which they struggled to shift and eventually had to “chisel out”, she added.

OUR VIEW

Keeping interest in rates Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

t just got more expensive to run a household for many Mid Cantabrians – but, even now, many will breathe a sigh of relief.

It got more expensive because the Reserve Bank has hiked the Official Cash Rate and the relief, if there is any, is that the bank looks unlikely to meddle with the rate until at least the end of the year.

But that far-off change will not come before the banks – the major benefactors of our district’s housing boom – start a claw-back from their customers.

That claw-back means the mortgage interest rates will rise.

The first increases were telegraphed as soon as the OCR rate rose yesterday morning.

This was the fourth increase to the OCR this year and so, for many borrowers, it is the fourth time they will have had to reassess their finances.

The extent of that reassessment will depend on how much of what they borrowed for their home is on a floating mortgage.

Floating rates are about 1 percentage point more than they were in March. So, some borrowers may pay another $65 a week for every $100,000 they have floating.

If they fix, they might pay a higher rate of interest than they would have this time last week. If they do not, they gamble against the near certainty of future rises.

Even so, people other than residential mortgage holders will be relieved by some of the signals that came out of the bank yesterday.

The bank reckons the New Zealand dollar’s high value is “unjustified and unsustainable” and that there was “potential for a significant fall”.

Some will hope the economists are right: the rate change prompted a drop in the currency, deflating a dollar that has dented what exporters make at market.

That slight correction might suggest further drops even if the bank leaves rates alone. If all this improves confidence and incomes for exporters, then businesses and workers might hope that our rock star economy is not about to stall.

And stalling is not something anyone that works to pay their mortgage will relish.

YOUR VIEW Parking meters Regarding parking meters in the central business district, I would like to ask council what the net gain from the meters is per year.

It would be an interesting exercise to look at, if there were no capital or maintenance of the meters, no paid meter enforcement.

How much would the cost in lost earnings be to the ratepayer?

Maybe free parking would enhance the business in the town, or if parking time abuse is a perceived issue then limited monitoring of 60min parking could be an economic and sensible solution.

David West Andrew Dalziel, CEO of the Ashburton District Council responds: Council received $143,752 in income from parking meter

CRUMB

receipts for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Additional income from meter enforcement was $71,100.

Total parking income was $524,000; $234,360 of that was for registration fines. Total parking expenditure was $300,000.

The net gain from parking was $224,000. That excludes capital expenditure (the one-off purchase of new meters etc.) which was $88,307.

We don’t break the expenditure figure down between parking meters and other areas, so can’t provide a net gain figure specifically for parking meters.

The council has just completed a review of its Transportation and Parking Bylaw.

It was well publicised and reported on by this paper.

Thirty people made submissions. Interestingly, there was only one submission received on metered parking.

by David Fletcher

Freedom of the Press It’s a common misconception that “Freedom of the Press” only relates to the right to report without fear of reprisal.

However, also included (albeit less well known – especially amongst the media themselves these days), is the duty of media to present a balanced and unbiased view, including both sides of a story so that the public can make an infomed opinion based on the facts. To derelict that duty is to become nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece.

How anyone can present killing innocent civilians as an atrocity in one article and then justified in the next with a straight face is beyond me.

Of course there are many unknowns in both situations, but that only makes the stance taken seem even more politically motivated and biased.

One-eyed opinion, baseless

speculation and guilty before proven innocent is the realm of editorial columns and talkback radio, not the news desk.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

hat a week! I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last Sunday night. I was very nervous about my return to breakfast radio on Monday. No I wasn’t worried about getting up at 4.30am again.

After several weeks of mainly recording radio for The Hits, getting back to LIVE radio was pretty daunting. Add to that a bit of pressure on myself not to stuff things up after all the “Hoopla” as one listener called it.

Tuesday I had a silly grin on my face for the whole show and it pretty much hasn’t left my dial since then.

Yes some of the music is a wee bit old for my liking, but that’s a battle any radio station will never win. In saying that though, I found myself humming Moody Blue for the rest of the day on Tuesday after playing the King on the breakfast show.

Our music programmer’s philosophy is pretty simple, “If it’s a great song we are going to play it” no matter what era it comes from. It’s like eating jelly beans from a brown paper bag, most of them are an enjoyable surprise, but every now and then you get an icky black one.

The farming show between noon and 1pm isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but Jamie McKay is a switched on character and I love his presenting style, it’s not all about farming either, I loved his chat with Winston Peters on Wednesday!

On a personal note I am enjoying a bit of freedom within the brand to do some good local stuff, including a live commentary of the Watters Cup final

• ‘Fakecation’ – Real vacationing can be expensive, but not a fake vacation. Fakecationing is all about putting yourself wherever you want to be through technology. All you need is a phone to take pics … and some fingers (masquerading as knees).

• ‘MAMIL’ (middle-aged man in lycra) – A man who is a devotee of cycling or some other sport that requires or encourages the wearing of lycra.

Trade surplus New Zealand posted its eighth monthly trade surplus in June, led by overseas demand for the nation’s primary products such as milk powder, frozen beef and kiwifruit. The country had a trade surplus of $247 million in June, from a revised $270 million in May and $371 million a year earlier. The annual trade balance turned to a surplus of $1.2 billion from a deficit of $819 million a year earlier.

The figures beat expectations for a monthly surplus of $150 million and an annual surplus of $1.15 billion in a Reuters poll of economists.

D

espite plenty of political tension and mounting global conflict, markets have fared well for the week. The S&P500 in the US has pushed to another record high close this week on that back of a strong reporting season so far.

Dominating news flow this week has been the growing unrest in both the Ukraine and Israel. Tensions have continued to mount between the Ukraine and Russia with both blaming each other for the attack on the Malaysian Airlines plane late last week. Russian officials have been handed further sanctions from the EU. The US had called for the EU to place sanctions on the country as well, however this has not happened yet. The Russian share market has fallen significantly since the fighting originally broke out, dropping over 6 per cent since the beginning of the year. It is estimated that the cost of this conflict to Russian financial markets is approximately US$28 billion.

Locally the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) raised the official cash rate (OCR) for the fourth time this year, pushing it to 3.5 per cent. The latest increase was widely expected by economists and the market seems to have taken it as a given, having already priced the rise in. The RBNZ will take a pause now and see the effect the rate rises have had on the economy. This was also picked by economists. The high dol-

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

lar combined with a slump in commodity prices, particularly dairy and logs, has taken away some of the momentum from the economy.

This in conjunction with a lower than anticipated inflation figure for June of just 1.6 per cent will add to the case for holding the rate steady.

Across the Tasman, Australia released Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for the June quarter. The results where inline with market expectations rising 0.5 per cent for the June quarter.

Higher prices for health care, dwellings and tobacco were offset by falling prices in travel, petrol and telecoms equipment and services. Prices for the year rose 3 per cent, up slightly from the May figure of 2.9 per cent.

The Australian dollar rallied against the US after the announcement, although economists are still not picking a rate rise from the Reserve Bank of Australia after this latest piece of inflationary data.

Global reporting season is living up to its hype this round with some better than expected results. Apple reported a 12 per cent increase to earnings and reported strong sales of

its iPhone, selling 35.2 million handsets, for the quarter. iPad sales disappointed, sliding for the second consecutive quarter, however, CEO Tim Cook said that this was not a concern for the company.

This could potentially be because of the partnership deal reached with IBM last week aimed at breaking into the corporate market through the development of more than 100 new apps.

Another tech stock that has had a solid result is Facebook, beating analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings.

With increased mobile usage, mobile advertising continues to make up a bigger share of Facebook’s revenue pie. Mobile ads accounted for 62 percent of the company’s $2.7 billion in ad revenue for the quarter, up from a 59 per cent share in the previous quarter and a 41 per cent share during the same period last year. The share price hit an all time high after the result, up 6 per cent.

Looking ahead to next week, reporting season continues with Cummins and BP as well as a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Reckitt Benckiser.

■ EARNINGS ROCKETING

Facebook on a roll The world’s largest online social network, Facebook, posted sharply higher earnings yesterday as revenue from mobile advertising continued to grow, and more people used it, more often.

The company’s shares climbed nearly 4 per cent in extended trading after the results came out, signaling that they could hit a record high.

Investors who bought - and held on to - Facebook stock during the company’s initial public offering two years ago are now close to doubling their money.

Facebook Inc. (FB) said yesterday that it earned $788 million, or 30 cents per share, in the April-June period.

That’s up from $331 million, or 13 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Adjusted earnings were 42 cents per share, handily beating Wall Street’s expectations of 33 cents, according to a poll by Zacks Investment Research.

Facebook’s revenue jumped 61 per cent to $2.91 billion from $1.81 billion in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts expected $2.8 billion.

This was the fifth quarter in a row that Facebook beat Wall Street’s forecasts.

Advertising revenue jumped 67 per cent to $2.68 billion.

Let there be light An 85 gram solar powered inflatable lantern can give up to 16 hours of light after charging in the sun for six or seven hours. In fact, the Lithium-Polymer Ion battery can hold a full charge for over four months. The cushion-shaped LuminAID packs flat, so it’s easy to ship and to carry. It’s also waterproof and can float. A few puffs blow it up so the LED light is more diffused, creating a more gentle ambient light without glare.

Designed for use in disaster areas, the lantern would also be handy for trampers. That would be very easy to keep in the emergency kit. - NZH

Leaning in to it

Mobile ad revenue, a closely watched figure, was 1.66 billion, or 62 per cent of Facebook’s total advertising revenue for the quarter. In the first three months of the year, mobile ads accounted for 59 per cent of Facebook’s total ad revenue.

The steady increase indicates that Facebook is succeeding in steering advertisers to its mobile platform at a time when most of its users are using mobile devices to access the social network.

Facebook had 1.32 billion active users at the end of June, up 14 per cent from a year earlier.

829 million people used Face-

book every day in June, up 19 per cent from a year earlier.

The number of people who log in at least once a day on mobile devices was 654 million on average in June, up 14 per cent from a year earlier.

“We had a good second quarter,” said CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement.

“Our community has continued to grow, and we see a lot of opportunity ahead as we connect the rest of the world.”

Facebook has been growing its share of the worldwide digital advertising market, but it’s still a long way from catching up to rival Google Inc.

In 2013, Facebook had a nearly 6 per cent share of the market compared with Google’s 32 percent according to research firm eMarketer. This year, Facebook is expected to grow its slice to nearly eight per cent, while Google’s should decline slightly, to just below 32 per cent.

Facebook’s stock jumped $2.77, or 3.9 per cent, to $74.06 in extended trading after the results came out. The stock had closed up $2.02 at $71.29.

Shares of the Menlo Park, California-based company have climbed $16.64, or 30 per cent, to $71.29 since the beginning of the year.

Google rescinds unpopular ‘real name’ policy Google has announced a surprising end to its controversial “Real Name” policy with a contrite post on Google+, telling users that there are “no more restrictions” on the names people can use. This is a dramatic change in policy for the company

In brief

which suspended users en masse in 2011 for using pseudonyms - an event that users have since described as The Nymwars.

The policy had been criticised since for being capriciously enforced, allowing celebrities such as musician Soulja Boy (real

name DeAndre Cortez Way) to use a pseudonym, but ignoring users who wanted to do the same.

Some users who used their real name on the social network even ran afoul of Google because their names did not fit the assumptions that Google em-

ployees made about about what counts as a real name.

Writer Stilgherrian and reporter Violet Blue have both documented their problems with Google’s name policing wrongly affecting them, even though they used their real names.

Honda’s Uni-Cub is a tiny personal mobility device that could perhaps replace something like a bike or a Segway. Riders sit on the device and propel it by posture changes, leaning in the direction they want to go. The Uni-Cub has a single larger omni-directional driving wheel, with a couple of smaller wheels that help with turns. The device could find a use in places like galleries, airports and museums. Bopping to the rhythm of music in headphones could make for an interesting experience. - NZH

Power on the roof A new energy generation installation on the roof of a building in Kingston, Jamaica should produce more than 106,000 kWh of energy every year. The array includes 50 SolarMills from Windstream, that incorporate a wind turbine with a solar panel, each taking up the roof space of a single regular solar panel. The solar panel is split so one part is raised higher than the rest. Holding up the higher part is the wind turbine portion, with a blade spinning around a vertical axis.

Pump up the Rover A rover on another planet may encounter all kinds of terrain, and designing wheels to handle that variety takes a lot of thought. Researchers at Seoul National University have created a wheel that can deform, so it has a large radius to better climb over things, or a smaller radius better for squeezing under things, as required.

The wheel takes its adaptable form from a famous origami trick called the magic ball pattern.

■ COMMONWEALTH GAMES

Ashburton Guardian 17

In brief Repechage for Dyke

Rio looms on the horizon

By Kris shannon Ashburton cyclist Lauren Ellis may have a busy programme in Glasgow but she can hardly help casting a careful eye towards Rio. While Ellis will compete in three events at the Commonwealth Games - the individual pursuit, the scratch race and the points race - the one that attracts most of her attention is conspicuous by its absence.

The 25-year-old has stated her focus lies largely with the team pursuit, an event in which she helped New Zealand to a fifth-place finish at the London Olympics. With that discipline being left off the track cycling programme in Glasgow, the racing she will do in the next week arrives with a dual purpose.

First, of course, is the aim of every athlete at these Games.

Ellis took silver in the points race four years ago in Delhi and, naturally, she has designs on adding to her medal collection this time around.

But then there is the longterm goal of working toward Rio and Ellis, whose first forays into cycling came at the Tinwald Cycling Club, hopes the experiences of these Games

Weather watch

will hold her in good stead for a future full of Olympic-sized dreams.

“For us, the women’s team, because our programme got put on hold after the Olympics, it’s really good us being all together again,” she said.

“Just having the focus on that programme, being together,

training together - it’s been good.

“After this, obviously that’s when the team pursuit will come into focus again ahead of 2016.”

In the meantime, though, Ellis will be attempting to play her part in what many observers expect to be the most suc-

cessful New Zealand team at these Games. Though there are medal hopes on the road and the mountain, Bike NZ expects the track to produce a significant medal haul.

The Kiwi track team took home nine medals from Delhi, one gold, five silver, and three bronze.

■ ASHBURTON RACES

Greg Jones checks out today’s Ashburton fields Recent abandonments of thoroughbred meetings has resulted in the Ashburton club again being the beneficiary of an upgrade from an Industry funded day to a Tier 2 Feature day today. The original programme has now been extended to ten races to provide additional opportunities for stakeholders.

Hopefully this will make for a profitable day for the local club.

This is the second opportunity to race for the good stakes on offer at this time of the year and the committee are pleased with the very good fields attracted. The locals will have a hand to play throughout the day with the McKay, Hay and Champion/Murphy teams each having likely candidates.

While showers are forecast, the track should provide even winter footing with all horses having their chance.

Racing starts at 11.25 and She’s Payback looks the best chance after a very sound run in similar company three weeks ago, being collared late in the piece. Delacroix’s chances will improve if rain arrives.

The second race is a maiden 2100m and often hard to predict, but Need A Wilson’s from the in form Winsloe stable at Gore looks hardest to beat.

The northern visitor Evasive Tracy and Lone Wolf who has form at the distance are also major threats.

Emma Dyke’s New Zealand women’s four will race a repechage this morning at the 2014 World Rowing U-23 Championships in Varese, Italy. In their heat yesterday morning (NZ Time) Dyke, Olivia Loe, Kelsi Walters and Johannah Keraney finished up fourth in their heat in a time of 7:09.150, needing a top two finish to progress directly to the final. The four had a positive start reaching the first 500 metre mark in second place. The New Zealanders hung onto third place through the middle of the race but were charged on the line by a fast finishing German crew. The New Zealand women’s pair and quad progressed through to medal finals. The men’s coxed four also face a repechage this morning while single sculler LonguetHiggins will race the quarter final tomorrow. The remaining New Zealand U23 crews will have raced their heats overnight.

A competitive R65 event contains two real chances from the Jan Hay stable in Commander Cody, dropping in distance and with weight relief, and Sand’ior who is in fair form and due to strike. Amarok, potentially the best horse here and The Bird of Prey, an improver from the season debut look the most likely to stop a local victory.

Race 4 is a rare two-year-old event on the course and three Champion/ Murphy candidates line up in a field lacking raceday experience. The best of the trio might be Supremo which showed good pace in the spring and looks strong enough to cope with the conditions. Two well bred types on debut are Royal Dapper and Them Or Us and a forward showing from either would not surprise, the tote indicating their connections’ expectations. Hot Pants and Sofia Loren are also sound chances.

All runners in the R75 fifth event have form and a chance, such is the depth of the field. Wedgie has come of age this campaign with two recent wins and should go well again. Cheeky Tart was slow to begin last time and powered home for second and with a better beginning is capable of winning. Coup Caprio looked top class in the spring and even though fresh up and untried in softer going, he may very well be

just too good. Miss El Bee Dee and Dowra look best of the rest.

Excuseforfun would be a popular winner of race 6 for Danny Frye and has the form to capitalise on the favourable draw. The Pitman stable has a good chance here with Fair Spoken, so brave at Riccarton and with the benefit of a senior rider here the better option. However Dominator has not had much luck recently and could give a good sight at odds. Putt for Cash impressed on the home surface last time.

The RD Petroleum Winter Cup Trial, a 25k event, is similar to the corresponding event three weeks ago and Jan Hay could again provide the winner. The wetter track will be probably suit Jack’s Run better but Dr Dee Bee really loves the home track. If it rains and becomes a tough test, Electronic Motion could be too seasoned for most.

Gervasio would only need to repeat the last start effort against much better opposition to taking beating in race 8, and the claim aids the chances even more. El Bee Dee is well overdue a winning turn while My Chino has demonstrated real promise in a short career to date.

Absolution won well over a longer distance last time but stablemate Percy Possum could have the edge over the 1400m.

TOP TIPS Best Bets She’s Payback Commander Cody Fair Spoken

(R1) (R3) (R6)

Supremo Czarista Sir Singo

(R4) (R9) (R8)

For Odds

Form from the last meeting should hold up in race 9 with Whiskey Bolero in particular impressing in its southern debut when narrowly being beaten. Local hope Mac Jacy ran a fine race first up and will naturally improve with the experience while Czarista overcame an interrupted passage last time and has a much better draw. Don’t overlook Elusive Princess if she gets back in off the ballot as her trial performance was first rate before encountering a rocky run at Timaru.

The last race looks made to order for Coup Flyer with fine statistics fresh and on wet footing, and an apprentice allowance as well. Zhanim will be the big improver and there was nothing wrong with the winning effort of Give Me a Reason on the course recently.

Footballers will have their fingers crossed for clear weather to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s ground closures that forced Mainland Football to abandon play. In division 4 Methven FC host Universities in pool and Mid Canterbury Eastern away to FC Twenty 11 Falcons in Pool B while the Mid Canterbury Masters are at home to FC Twenty 11 in Masters Group Two. Mid Canterbury 18th are away to Christchurch Boys’ 2nd XI, Mid Canterbury 16th are away to Papanui Redwood and the 15th graders are also away to Cashmere Tech 15A. On Sunday Mid Canterbury Women are hosted by Hornby United.

Blues have the blues Wakanui Blue have a case of the blues after a fifth straight loss, going down to Timaru Boys’ 1-2 in Ashburton in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition on Wednesday night. That loss followed defeats to Wakanui Black, Northern Hearts, Cambridge and Tainui to leave them in fifth – eight points adrift of fourth placed Cambridge with three weeks until the playoffs. Blue face a big challenge to break their losing skid when they meet current runnersup Northern Hearts in Timaru tomorrow. Defending champions and competition leaders, Wakanui Black line up Tainui, the side that handed them their first loss in two seasons four weeks ago, also in Timaru. Both of the women’s teams are in Ashburton after two weeks in Timaru. Hampstead come up against a Craighead side that has had their measure twice this season including a 4-1 win in their last meeting, and Hampstead needs the win to maintain top spot. Hot on their heels is defending champions St Andrews who head to Ashburton to take on Hampstead-Collegians.

Nibali ‘comfortable’ Vincenzo Nibali is winning the Tour de France so easily that the Italian admitted he is actually riding within himself. Since all three past winners of the world’s greatest bicycle race crashed out earlier during the Grand Boucle, Nibali has been in a class of his own. Nibali extended his overall lead to Spaniard Alejandro Valverde to 5min 26sec after finishing third on the 17th stage.

Perry may be Watters Cup starter Tim Perry isn’t required by the Crusaders for their Super 15 semi-final against the Sharks tomorrow night, but the prop may still feature in finals rugby.

Joe Moody has been given the nod to cover Wyatt Crockett from the bench, freeing Perry up to turn out for Rakaia in the Watters Cup final at the Showgrounds tomorrow.

The former Mid Canterbury representative was also available last week and down to start against Celtic in the semi-finals,

but he was recalled to the Crusaders camp as a precaution after Moody had a minor injury scare at training.

Moody is obviously goodto-go and so is Perry for a run around for Rakaia, having played 80 minutes against Darfield earlier in the season.

The Crusaders meanwhile welcome back All Blacks captain Richie McCaw for their home semi-final against the Sharks.

Crusaders coach Todd Black-

adder made two changes to the starting 15 that beat the Highlanders two weeks ago.

Richie McCaw has recovered from a rib injury to return to the line-up and will play at number 6, pushing Jordan Taufua to the bench as Matt Todd retains the number seven jumper.

Corey Flynn will take the starting hooker spot for his 150th Crusaders game, with Ben Funnell providing back-up from the bench.

Blackadder said the team

is preparing for its toughest game yet as both teams will be throwing everything they’ve got at it in their quest to make the final.

“The Sharks have shown this season that they are an extremely classy outfit and a very difficult team to beat,” Blackadder said.

“This is our biggest challenge yet, but we feel ready for it.”

The Waratahs host the Brumbies in Sydney on Saturday night in the other semi-final.

CRUSADERS Crusaders:

1. Wyatt Crockett, 2. Corey Flynn, 3. Owen Franks, 4. Dominic Bird, 5.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) After nearly 8 months in your relationship Mars has reached his final day, giving you one last chance to establish what you’re fighting for.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Saturn is in his early days in direct motion in your relationship sector and Mars returns tomorrow, so ensure good communication.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Just 2 days after you began tying up loose ends on the income front the Moon has returned with the nose for money needed to make it happen.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Just days after the Sun left your sign and your birthday month ran its course the Moon has returned with a chance to narrow down your expectations.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) There is likely to be one last push for a communication breakthrough, at a time when you want and need something more authentic.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) In his last full day in your income sector Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos will be doing everything he can to fuel your passions and fighting spirit.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Mars’ longest visit to your sign in 32 years reaches its final day, with a need to get excited about the quests that will continue to keep you motivated.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) While there are already some massive developments taking shape on the professional front, the spirit of adventure isn’t ready to let go just yet.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) This is a day for being a team player as Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos spends his last full day firing up your team and fighting spirit.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While Mars’ last full day in your career sector requires you to keep your professional hat on, your relationships also need attention.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Although there is something brewing professionally, a sense of rebellion is guarding against life becoming all work and no play.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) In a week where there has already been a huge amount of shifts and changes this is far from over, with a new sense of urgency on the financial front.

Sport Cup supremacy on the line

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two flankers will try to lead their team to Mid Canterbury rugby supremacy tomorrow.

Mark Andrew again captains defending champions Rakaia, and across from him on the Ashburton Showgrounds oval Mitch Sim’s Methven side will be out to overturn last year’s result.

It will be the third time Andrew will lead his side into the end of season showpiece, having lifted the coveted cup twice – including last year’s 13-9 win over Methven.

It will also be Sim’s third final, but first as captain.

Sim is the third-string captain for Methven this season, taking over for Richard Catherwood who has been ruled out of the final with a hamstring injury.

Catherwood had taken over the skipper duties from Simon Fleetwood.

“Rich is a big loss as he provided plenty of punch in the midfield,

but the guys coming in will step up and we’ll need to adapt,” Sim said.

Rakaia has gone the other way with their captaincy, after Andrew missed game time at the start of the year but came back on deck for their finals run in the combined competition.

The river men have

had the wood on the men from the foot of the mountain in the last 12 months.

Rakaia went into the 2013 season without a win over Methven since 1978 but claimed all three wins last season – all by margins of four or less – before a 17-all draw at the start of the sea-

son and then a 20-9 win in a playoff for third in the combined competition.

In all five of those encounters, Rakaia has taken an early lead and done enough to hold onto it.

Andrew expects another rugged battle if Rakaia are to repeat - and be the first back-to-back winner in seven years.

“It will take a lot of hard work to win. It will be a fierce game with the top two sides going at it,” Andrew said.

After the annual captains’ photo the two opposing captains and flankers parted with a ‘have a good training and we’ll see you Saturday’, but things won’t be so cordial tomorrow.

In the curtain raiser Tinwald takes on Hampstead for the Senior B championship kicking off at 1pm, with all grades in action from 11.45am.

Durante discovers hunger for goals

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON Scoring goals has never really been Andrew Durante’s thing.

In more than 250 games during a senior career which began in 2001, the 32-year-old defender has only scored four goals in league games; one for Sydney Olympic in the now-defunct NSL and three for the Wellington Phoenix in the A-League.

But Durante has popped up twice in notable friendly matches where the Phoenix have earned 2-1 victories; firstly, against Ar-

gentinian side Boca Juniors in 2010 and on Wednesday night in Auckland as the Wellingtonians scored a famous win over English Premier League outfit West Ham United.

Being a centre back, Durante isn’t relied upon as a source of goals, but the All White said he wanted to find a way to get himself on the scoresheet with more regularity.

“I try and save it for the big games,” the Phoenix captain joked. “But I’d love to score in the league. It’s something that

Nibali in full control of Tour P17

I think really needs work in my game and can add another level to my game.”

Set-piece is where Durante can be dangerous given a proven ability to head the ball and with new signing Alex Rodriguez providing Wednesday’s goal, there could be more in store during this season’s edition of the A-League.

While the Phoenix don’t get their new campaign underway proper until October 12, Durante said knocking off a Premier League side would help

their enthusiasm levels during the rest of the pre-season.

Wellington have the chance to claim a second Premier League scalp in less than a week when they host Newcastle United at Westpac Stadium tomorrow.

“The boys will be up for it, there’s no doubt,” Durante said.

“Again, another big occasion for us to play a Premier League team, so, mentally, the boys will ready..”

It remains to be seen whether Michael McGlinchey will be given the chance to play. He is

in the middle of a contractual dispute, with both the Phoenix and the Mariners of the belief they have the 27-year-old under contract. The A-League’s governing body, the FFA, have been reviewing the matter but Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick was disappointed with how long the saga had dragged on for.

“I’m appalled by the lack of speed in decision-making,” Merrick said. “To leave him in limbo for this long is totally out of order. I’m hugely disappointed.”
