News 2 Ashburton Guardian

New boss takes ATS helm There’s been a change in the senior leadership team at ATS. Group CEO executive Neal Shaw has resigned to work for a competitor and will be replaced in the interim by general manager Rob Sharkie. Mr Sharkie has been with ATS for 14 months and came to the co-operative from Hazlett Rural Ltd. He has a 35-year history in the stock and station industry, since hitting the road as a rep when he was 17.

ATS chairman Phil McKendry said Mr Sharkie’s experience across the industry and around New Zealand was valuable for the co-operative.

His experience covered rural supplies, insurance, livestock and real estate.

Mr Sharkie said ATS was an exciting business able to provide services outside the traditional bricks and mortar bases and had a special clientele.

He said while the dairy industry had supported farming growth in the district, Mid Canterbury had diverse and innovative farming operations because of its access to water.

ATS was a unique player in the industry in that its customers were friends and shareholders with longterm relationships with the business. The challenge was making sure they remained repeat customers, he said.

Mr McKendry said Mr Shaw’s departure had been amicable and he had been a leader in the group for 23 years.

He said the ATS/Ruralco board had full confidence Mr Sharkie would lead the organisation as acting group CEO while a search for Mr Shaw’s replacement was conducted.

“The business is going well and we have a good team in place.

While others in the industry are currently restructuring, we did that a while ago and now have a platform for growth.”

Mr Shaw said he intends moving to Christchurch to work for Farmlands.

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF ARTS

Artwork pouring in for exhibition PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 240616-AK-012

By Emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

The annual Ashburton Society of Arts exhibition is only 10 days away and artists have brought in around 400 pieces of original artwork.

Yesterday was receiving day at the Ashburton Art Gallery, where the exhibition will be held, and over 130 artists contributed their works.

Most of the art will be for sale and the salespeople will be volunteers who also helped the society’s committee collect the works.

Some of the work submitted will be by six guest artists, including acclaimed portrait artist Stephan Martyn Welch, who will also give an artist’s talk on July 5.

Entries to the exhibition have come from as far as Whangarei, Invercargill and Australia, as well as places closer to home, such as Christchurch and Timaru.

The artwork varies from classic landscape paintings, to the cast of a bust which has been bejewelled and buttoned.

The works will cover the walls of the Ashburton Art Gallery

from top to bottom and society spokesperson Mandy Casey said the space was providing an attraction to a wide variety of artists.

Opening night for the exhibition is July 4, where exhibition winners will be announced.

It opens to the public on July 5 and runs until July 29.

Court appearance after gang-related attack Eight people who live at the same Ashburton address have appeared in the Christchurch District Court in relation to a gang attack last weekend.

They were arrested on Wednesday and remanded in custody pending Thursday’s court appearance.

Jimmy James Aranui, 48, Emitana Reece Aranui, 31, Mahaki Hemi Aranui, 27, Billy Davis Aranui, 26, Harley Aranui, 25, Maria Aranui, 23, Chase Aranui, 23

and Breeze Hunt-Weston, 23, all face serious charges ranging from intent to cause grievous bodily harm to assault.

Hunt-Weston was remanded on bail to appear in the Ashburton District Court on July 18, along with Shona Marie Thompson who was already on bail.

Two of the women also face charges of intentionally damaging a vehicle during the stoush.

The remaining seven accused were remanded in custody pend-

ing bail applications over the coming days. Police alleged the group, described as gang affiliates, attacked three men in Ashburton’s Mona Square at about 3.30pm on Saturday, using sticks and a wheel brace as weapons.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said the victims were badly beaten around the head and body.

If members of the public had not intervened the outcome could have been more serious, Mr Banfield said. It was the third

gang-related incident police had dealt with in 12 months.

Two groups clashed in a park on Davis Crescent in August last year and festering emotions boiled over again outside the Ashburton Courthouse soon after, when some of the accused were appearing.

Mr Banfield said the two rival groups aligned themselves with the Black Power and Mongrel Mob gangs by wearing associated colours.

Meat workers fed up michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Fairton meat workers have had a gutsful of their treatment at the hands of Silver Fern Farms.

Yesterday a group of meat workers met with the Guardian to outline their grievances.

Central to those are claims workers turned down an offer to split the bobby calf kill, set to get under way at Silver Fern Farm’s Pareora plant next month.

The Fairton men said they were told the calf kill was “guaranteed” to have been split between the two processing plants if they agreed to include weekend work in the five-day flat-rate

roster, forgoing the time-and-ahalf arrangement for Saturday and Sunday work in their standing employment contracts.

Workers at both plants voted unanimously against the proposal and the company responded with a decision the calf kill would go to Pareora for the second season running, delaying the start of the Fairton season by about three months.

As Fairton and Pareora are members of the same union collective, Pareora workers will receive the weekend allowance plus a two per cent wage increase for agreeing to a 2pm start time.

It was later reported Fairton workers turned down the 2pm start time, however workers denied that.

The men believe Silver Fern Farms never had any intention of opening the Fairton shed for the calf kill and the negotiations were an attempt to knock penal rates out of worker’s contracts.

This in turn could be used to bargain against Pareora workers.

They believe the company’s ultimate goal is to shut down Fairton in line with recently disclosed documentation provided to Shanghai Maling, the Chinese company angling to acquire a 50

per cent shareholding in Silver Fern Farms. The deal is awaiting approval from the Overseas Investment Office.

Fairton is a single use shed, only fitted out to kill sheep and bobby calves, whereas venison and cattle can also be processed at Pareora.

Many Fairton workers think the writing is on the wall but by offering increasingly short seasons employees will quit foregoing redundancy simply because they can’t afford to wait for work to start.

If you have been affected by Silver Fern Farm’s decisions we would like to hear from you.

■ ASHBURTON HEARING ASSOCIATION

Decades of service pays off for Ashburton man By coliN eNgelBrecht colin.e@theguardian.co.nz

Decades of loyal service to the Hearing Association has paid off with a life membership for Russell Anstiss.

The president of the Ashburton Hearing Association was presented with the award after 31 years of membership.

Mr Anstiss, who was lost for words, said he never expected to get the award, despite “probably 25 years” on the executive board. “I’m usually a bit of a yapper but I’m just completely blown away by it,” he said.

After going deaf in Switzerland in 1986, a friend’s suggestion led him to join the association.

He says along with the Senior Centre, the Hearing Association is the group he gets the most enjoyment out of because of the camaraderie between members.

Mr Anstiss said he doesn’t plan on making any changes and hopes to stay in the association as long as he can. Along with the award, the Ashburton Hearing Association is buying him a frame of his choosing to suit the décor of his new home.

A wanted man has cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and is believed to be on the run in Christchurch. Michael Raymond Norton is wanted for arrest for burglary and the unlawful taking of vehicles. Police also wish to speak to Norton regarding a number of other incidents in the region.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact Christchurch Central Police on 03 363 7400.

■ $500,000 WIN

In brief

Our lucky little Lotto shop

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Five lucky Ashburton ticketholders who won $500,000 in Wednesday night’s Lotto draw came forward to claim their prize yesterday.

Ashburton’s latest winners – the district’s third big winner in as many months – took home a share of the $1 million first-division prize along with a player from Dunedin.

It’s a win that came hot on the heels of a lucky Ashburton person’s big $22.2 million win in April.

In May, an Ashburton player won Strike Four, taking home $119,611 and, according to a Lotto spokesperson, there’s also been three second-division winners sold in Ashburton this year too.

A cool half a million is pretty exciting for the winner, but it could have been even bigger had they had the winning Powerball number on their ticket too.

Neither of Wednesday night’s big winners had the Powerball number, meaning on Saturday night, a whopping $25 million will be up for grabs.

Ashburton’s latest winning ticket was sold online, via MyLotto, as was the $22.2 million winning ticket, while last month’s Strike Four winning ticket was sold at Ashburton New World.

According to Lotto though, Countdown Ashburton contin-

Sports shoe grant Students from five Mid Canterbury schools have benefited from a generous sports shoe grant. The Malcolm McKenzie Sporting Grant offered 10 sports footwear vouchers, each valued at $50, to Mid Canterbury children whose families have been affected by the dairy downturn. The grant was administered through the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association (MCPA) and vouchers have now been given to students from Our Lady of the Snows School, Ashburton College, Hampstead School, Ashburton Netherby School and Allenton School. MCPA president Hilary Boyce said the association was very appreciative of the grant which was set up to encourage participation in any team sport.

ues to be Ashburton’s luckiest Lotto shop, having sold two Powerball first-division winning tickets, nine first-division winning tickets, and two Strike Four winning tickets.

Since Lotto began, there have been 35 Lotto first-division winning tickets sold in Ashburton,

three Powerball first-division tickets and five Strike Four winners. The big $22.2 million win earlier this year was the biggest prize ever won in the South Island and in 2015 an Ashburton resident won $14.4 million.

Someone could win even more this Saturday night though, with

Powerball having now jackpotted to $25 million – the largest Powerball jackpot since June 2014 when two players from Auckland and Hastings took home $13 million each.

Strike Four has also rolled over to $800,000 and must be won on Saturday.

The source of an unusual smell lingering in Ashburton’s air earlier this week is a mystery.

The Guardian received a report from a concerned member of the public about the odour, which was reported to have been bad in the Allenton and Borough areas on Monday and Tuesday. Posts on the Guardian’s Facebook page likened the smell to fish, rubbish and sulphur. But the Ashburton District Council and ECan can’t shed any light on what it may have been and neither have received any complaints about the smell.

Spur of the moment decision leads to big win

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Five mates who made a spur of the moment decision over a couple of beers are Ashburton’s latest big Lotto winners.

Today they’re raising their glasses to a $500,000 windfall after winning Lotto’s first division on Wednesday night, and sharing the $1 million prize with another lucky punter from Dunedin.

The friends, who wish to remain

anonymous, don’t regularly buy Lotto tickets together but thought they’d give it a go when they realised the Powerball jackpot was getting high.

“We were having a few beers when one of the boys mentioned Powerball was right up there, so we thought we may as well give it a shot and each chipped in a couple of dollars towards a ticket,” one of the friends said.

The mates got together again

on Wednesday evening to watch the footy, not imagining that they would soon be celebrating a win of their own.

“Partway through the game we remembered our tickets so I jumped online to find out whether we’d won anything,” the winner said.

“We’d won a small prize on our other ticket, so I was caught up looking at that – I didn’t even see the big win at first. Then I saw that

we’d won $500,000… I was just stunned. I didn’t say anything to the boys to begin with. Then I saw I had an email from MyLotto letting me know that I’d won something big – that’s when it really hit me that we really had won and I called the guys over to share in the good news.

“We ended up having a bit of a big night, that’s for sure.”

With their winnings safely in their bank accounts, the friends

are now looking forward to enjoying their prize.

“There are lots of ideas buzzing around at the moment, we’re all really excited. We’re not too sure what we’ll end up doing, so are going to take a bit of time to make sure we make the right decision for each of us – I can’t wait to see what everyone does.”

They said the win would definitely help set them up for the future.

■ NEW BAIT

War on wasps

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Contractors work on repairing a burst water main in Tinwald yesterday.

The Mt Somers Walkway Society will wage war on wasps again next summer.

Society chairman Barry Austin said a new wasp bait used last summer had made a dent in the wasp population and walkway users would notice the difference.

Wasps have been a nightmare for trampers and walkers in the foothills, stinging people, driving away native birds and feasting on honeydew in the beech forests.

Mr Austin said the society would apply for a $2500 grant from the Ashburton District Council so it could buy more of the proteinbased Vespex bait to kill the wasps.

The bait was put in about 40 stations at Woodshed Creek carpark, Sharplin Falls carpark and Awa Awa Rata reserve last February; the wasps carry it back to their nests.

Mr Austin said more stations would be set up again this February and along the first 100 metres of the walkway.

He said as well as being a pest for recreational users, the wasps were a problem for beekeepers in the area trying to harvest manuka honey.

Others using the bait in the foothills have reported success in reducing wasp numbers, with one farmer noticing bird life had also returned.

“We are hoping a couple of good years using the bait and we should be able to reduce the population,” Mr Austin said.

The Department of Conservation says wasps are one of the most damaging insect pests in New Zealand, threatening native birds and insects and posing a huge nuisance and health risk to people. They establish new nests each spring, each nest producing up to 2000 queens a season.

Mr Austin said the Vespex had to be set out only by approved users and he wanted more foothills residents to apply to become users so the wasps could be tackled along the foothills.

■ TEMPORARY FLOODING

Burst pipe not a good sign Ashburton District Council’s assets manager Andrew Guthrie is hoping a burst water main at Tinwald yesterday is not a sign the network is deteriorating faster than expected.

Water mains in the Tinwald area are not due for renewal

until at least the end of the decade, but a concrete pipe on Melcombe Street burst yesterday morning, flooding nearby Compton Street and causing its temporary closure.

Mr Guthrie said service connections were the usual cause

of problems, but in this instance the pipe burst.

“It could be an indication it is reaching the end of its life.”

Tinwald’s water mains were installed in the mid-1960s, along with other parts of Ashburton.

Council’s renewal programme is currently replacing water mains installed in the 1920s.

He said a 10m length of pipe was replaced at Tinwald and residents in the area were without water while the repairs were made.

Spending on our roads inadequate, says Moroney A Labour-led government would push for more freight to be moved by rail, MP Sue Moroney said on a visit to Mid Canterbury this week.

Labour’s transport spokesperson said less money was being spent on roading maintenance across Canterbury despite heav-

ier trucks moving around the region.

She said Government spending on roads in Canterbury had dropped from $280 million to $158m, meaning local authorities were receiving less in subsidies.

Beauty pageant for feathered friends

BY EMMA MOODY

EMMA.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s local bird club is having its 49th annual bird show this weekend at the Tinwald Memorial Hall.

There will be close to 500 different birds on show and show manager Debbie Phipps said the public also has an opportunity to buy birds.

Mrs Phipps said the bird show is “kind of like a bird beauty pageant.”

The 480 birds will be judged on a variety of different features such as its shape, the colour of its plume and the colour of its eyes.

A selection of birds will also be judged on their vocal variety, much like the talent portion

of a beauty pageant. “Each bird has two minutes to sing as many notes as it can.

“It’s my favourite part of the show,” Mrs Phipps said.

The birds are awarded points when they win a category and the bird with the most points wins.

Sale birds range from young zebra finches to fully-grown budgies and some you can buy in pairs.

The show runs from 12pm today to Sunday.

■ CALLS ‘SOUND GENUINE’

Police warn of new phone scam Police are warning Mid Canterbury people to be aware of a phone scam currently doing the rounds.

A number of reports have been received by police across the country from people who have been targeted by the scammers, who claim they are calling from Immigration New Zealand or the Inland Revenue Department and that they are “wanted” for tax evasion.

Some demand payment in the form of Apple iTunes cards, with deportation threatened.

“The callers are persistent and aggressive,” says Inspector Dave Glossop. “They have personal details of the person they are scamming which could make the call sound genuine.”

The call may also appear to come from Immigration New Zealand, but it is not.

Calls may also appear to come from an 04 (Wellington) or an 09 (Auckland) prefix.

Members of the public should be aware that New Zealand government agencies such as Immigration or Inland Revenue will never call, email or text demanding payment or threatening deportation.

Banks will never call and ask for online banking passwords. These agencies will also never use money transfer services such as Western Union.

Indian nationals living in New Zealand are particularly targeted, while reports of people being targeted in the Tasman area are also emerging.

Police are aware of several cases where people have purchased between $500 and $5000 worth of iTunes vouchers for the scammers.

“Our advice to anyone who is targeted by this scam is to hang up immediately. Warn others and prevent your friends and family from becoming a victim of this scam,” Mr Glossop said.

Over the past two weeks Inland Revenue has also received reports of a telephone phishing scam from several hundred customers around New Zealand.

The scam calls have been made to landlines and mobile phones, with messages being left on voicemail if the calls haven’t been answered.

The callers state that they are from the Inland Revenue Department and the following scenarios have been reported, that the customer is wanted for tax evasion or avoidance, has a red flag on their file, or is in debt.

Customers have reported the callers as having “foreign sound-

■ METHVEN THEATRE COMPANY

Room for old and new at auditions The Methven Theatre Company is headed out west for its next production.

The group is performing a western-themed musical comedy Calamity Dame – A WildWest Panto in October and will be holding auditions for the 19-strong cast at the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall on July 24 (last day of the school holidays) and July 25.

The company says there is room for old and new faces because there is a large cast to fill and roles vary from singing to non-singing, bit parts with two or three lines to larger roles.

Male and female performers from the age of 16 upwards are needed.

Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy, designed for

family entertainment.

The genre was developed in England and is still performed there generally during the Christmas and New Year season.

Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale, fable or folk tale.

It is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.

If you want to know more, contact president Wayne Pannett on 027 813 8016 or secretary Tammy Dickson on 0274 071 501.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

Toy library gets helping hand

By Emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Toy Library had a special helping hand on Thursday.

Jo Goodhew, MP for Rangitata and the Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, visited the toy library and a number of other voluntary organisations as part of National Volunteer Week.

“The toy library is an absolutely wonderful service for the community,” she said.

Mrs Goodhew started at the toy library, before heading all over town.

“After this, I’m going up to the hospital to do Meals on Wheels, then I’m going to help out the Sallies and I’m going to visit a hospice care centre as well.”

Mrs Goodhew said she was glad she had the time to help the community out.

The Ashburton Toy Library operates out of the Methodist Church every Thursday and Saturday and, along with the 12-member committee, has a wide range of community volunteers who help out.

■ TIMARU HIGH COURT

22 years for CYFS worker A former Child Youth and Family caregiver who sexually assaulted eight victims has been jailed for 22 years, with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years.

Frank Walmsley was sentenced in the High Court in Timaru.

He abused four of the eight victims while he ran a Child Youth and Family home in Oamaru between 1995 and 2000.

He abused the others when he worked as a life coach from 2005 until 2012.

One of the victims was just 10 years old.

Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae and defence counsel Craig Ruane sought a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Justice David Gendall said the children were at very vulnerable stages of their lives and susceptible to grooming.

A man arrested for allegedly forcing his way into a woman’s Porirua home and subjecting her to a prolonged sexual attack will keep his name secret for now.

The 40-year-old, from the Wellington suburb of Johnsonville, briefly appeared in Porirua District Court yesterday.

Duty lawyer Louise Brown successfully asked for tempo-

rary name suppression, meaning applications to film or photograph the man were turned down.

The man faces eight charges over last Friday’s attack on a 65-year-old woman. It’s alleged she was subjected to an assault lasting hours after her attacker knocked on her Waihemo St door claiming he was looking for his daughter.

■ REVIEW

‘A fantastic night’s entertainment’ at music festival The aim of the Heartland Bank Schools Music Festival is to delight the audience with memories of the past, teach the children different styles of music and to have fun with singing.

All these boxes were definitely ticked on the final night of 2016’s festival.

Following the national anthem the massed choirs sang Fight Song, which showcased the power of the voices on the stage.

Fairton was the first school choir to perform. Both of their pieces were fun and lively and the instruments were incorporated well.

Allenton followed with a song that is a school favourite and was an audience favourite as well.

Their New Zealand She’ll Be Right song was a fun way to finish, with a great use of echoes throughout.

The next bracket of jazzy massed choir songs led by Melanie Sloan showed a variety of parts as voices were cleverly used as instruments.

It was great to see Methven singing with the guitar. They sang with obvious enjoyment and we thought the unaccompanied soloists were fantastic.

Open Up Our World was Hampstead’s first song. It had a sweet

ward a good message and had a fun ending. We felt like dancing in our seats during the high-energy

performance of Flash Dance conducted by Kerrin Lester and were impressed with the tuneful parts

during Winter Window.

Ashburton Intermediate also had a strong performance.

Starting off with talented soloist Ellie Lawn, we were transported to Scotland. The special effects, flickering lights, body percussion and rolling thunder set the scene for the well-known Africa Totosong. The drummers showed great rhythm keeping the beat.

The Ashburton College ensemble impressed the audience with their skilful performances.

Their bows danced across the string mesmorising the audience.

Elaine Vallender once again conducted the representative choir to a very polished performance. The soloists Olivia Lill and Lucan Taylor-Culshaw, both from Ashburton Intermediate, were superb.

The Representative choir’s third song was full of tongue-twisters, but the diction was flawless.

The final two Massed Choir items were led by Anna Lischner.

We were entertained with two guest artists during I Wanna Be Like You and You Raise Me Up, a powerful, emotional song to conclude a fantastic night’s entertainment. Well done to all involved.

■ CHRISTCHURCH HIGH COURT

Christchurch man pleads not guilty

BY KURT BAYER The man accused of murdering Marcus Luke Tucker, whose badly bashed body was found burned and dumped by a Canterbury lake pleaded not guilty yesterday.

Peter John Carroll, 51, denies killing Tucker on April 24, the day before his body was found on Anzac Day. Carroll, of Bishopdale, Christchurch, entered the not guilty plea at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday.

George Perry Waata, a 51-yearold of Opawa, also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Tucker on April 24. He appeared in court on crutches. His defence counsel Josh Lucas said he would apply for bail on July 5.

Anthony Richard Dawson, a 28-year-old supervisor from

Leeston, is yet to plea to a charge that he helped Carroll avoid arrest by suppressing evidence.

A 31-year-old woman, who has interim name suppression, has yet to plead to charges of conspiring with Carroll to assault Tucker and with being an accessory to murder.

Justice Cameron Mander remanded all four in custody for a case review hearing on July 29.

A man in the public gallery called each accused a “piece of s***” as they were led back into custody.

The body of Mr Tucker, 36, was found dumped near Lake Ellesmere on Drain Rd, Doyleston on Anzac Day. He was severely assaulted before his body was burned and then reportedly wrapped in some material, police say.

Working together for change J

ohn Sunckell is a third generation dairy farmer with life-saving skills standing for one of seven seats on Environment Canterbury at the local body elections in October. He’s standing for the Mid Canterbury seat, which incorporates Selwyn and Ashburton.

The Leeston farmer, who is also a volunteer paramedic, is well known north of the Rakaia River and wants Mid Canterbury people to know he’s certainly up for the job. ECan will be a mix of commissioners and elected representatives, including four from Christchurch and one each from Mid, North and South Canterbury.

John says the good staff on his dairy farm means he can devote the majority of his time working in and for the community. That said, he still does the accounts, files the GST returns and takes an active role in farm management.

For the past five years he has been on the Selwyn/Waihora Water Zone Committee, helping to navigate the group through complex water issues to improve the environment while taking into account the views and values of a whole community.

He has worked with both Central Plains Water and ECan with advisory roles in compliance, monitoring and mitigation.

The 55-year-old is also an active member of St John, chairing its Selwyn Central Area committee, leading a major station rebuild in Rolleston and is the paramedic on-call in Ellesmere two days a week. He was also Amy Adams’ campaign chairman in the 2014 election.

John and his wife Karen have two children, a son at Otago University and a daughter in Year 12.

“I am standing for ECan because I believe the five years of knowledge gained through the Selwyn/Waihora Zone Committee gives me a real understanding of what our communities want and more importantly the how’s in achieving those goals.

“I am a people person and believe that the only way we can improve our environmental foot-

nutrients lost to the environment and line the pockets of farmers and further desecrate the environment.

The reality is that without CPW the future of agriculture in Selwyn was at the best tenuous and at the worst cataclysmic.

There is no hyperbole in that last sentence, the options faced to rebalance the water model under the plains was to either reduce actual irrigation takes by 75 per cent or find a way to substitute those groundwater takes.

We all need our lowland streams flowing and CPW will achieve his by swapping groundwater takes for stored water channelled through Lake Coleridge.

A 75 per cent reduction in irrigation takes would have wiped out agriculture as we know it, and left a hinterland described by one Runanga representative as Stalinist or in modern terms more like Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, once the breadbasket of Africa but now a basket case.

John Sunckell with his wife Karen and their children Joseph and Sian. print is through working together taking us forward, and to do that we need responsible resource use, simple regulatory processes along with thriving sustainable communities.”

Why am I putting myself forward for election in the Mid Canterbury ward for Environment Canterbury?

We can always do a better job of governing, of finding resolution to issues, to managing our future. That said any thought of a return to the old adversarial council table of the past fills me with dread. We need to be able to work together to take our futures forward. To take us forward we need thriving rural communities that in turn power our rural towns and Canterbury as a whole. Farmers and growers

who are profitable and engaged are able to deliver the environmental change that we need to do. I believe that the last four years on the Selwyn/Waihora Zone Committee has given me not only the ability to strongly represent the rural voice but also understand the aspirations of the wider community in improving our environmental and cultural footprints.

So how important is water?

The importance of water and its management has never been more important than it is today.

Over the past five years I have been part of a team, the Selwyn/ Waihora Zone Committee, tasked with finding a way forward from the environmental space that we are in today.

We are now in the process of implementing that plan that begins the long journey towards restoration. There are no magic bullets, we cannot change 170 years of cumulative effects overnight as some would have us believe. But we can draw a line in the sand, cap the losses of nutrients and then further reduce them and begin to restore our waterways. A long hard journey for those of us on the land.

What’s the solution?

Central Plains Water (CPW) is an integral part of the solution package for Selwyn. Those against it would have us believe that it will only increase the

So what have we done to accommodate CPW and the increased nitrate losses that the scheme will lose to the environment?

We have created headroom by capping nitrate losses from all farms in the zone and then we require them to further reduce nitrate losses over time to achieve the balance required.

This is no easy thing for many farms and farmers to achieve and will for some require significant farm system changes to get to their targets. None of us like change particularly when these changes have the ability to severely impact on us and our families.

But to meet the goals set out

by Government in their National Policy Statement on fresh water and more importantly to us the goals articulated by the local communities, we need to do this.

Mark’s addicted to running After smashing his own expectations at this year’s London Marathon, former Ashburton man Mark Moore has even bigger things in his sights. Erin Tasker reports.

H

e grew up running rings around the lush, green Ashburton Domain, but today, Mark Moore’s training ground is the concrete jungle of London.

The 30-year-old former Ashburton man – who now lives in London – is a runner and recently he competed in the London Marathon, only his second ever marathon, and now he’s preparing himself for another challenge, in the Berlin Marathon.

He smashed his own expectations out of the park in the London Marathon and reckons it’s an experience he’ll remember forever.

“The London Marathon was quite a thrill, not something you would associate with a long duration event,” he said.

“You are effectively followed by a wave of noise as the crowds line nearly the entire course.”

He ran a time up there with some of the best produced by New Zealanders this year. He finished in 2:36:08 hours, well inside his target time of 2:40 hours.

His only previous marathon experience was the Queenstown Marathon, in its inaugural running.

“It was pretty much the polar opposite; far smaller crowds – although still just as supportive – a lot of off-road track instead of pavement and a totally different scenic experience,” Mark said.

“Another element I found different is in a lot of other races, mainly the half marathons I have done, I am focused on the race and performance and it’s not so much about the experience, but London certainly was. The time went very quickly – 2.5 hours felt a lot closer to 1.25.”

In Queenstown he ran a 2:51, which as a rookie, he was happy with.

He may be new to marathon distance, but he’s done plenty of half marathons; the Edinburgh Half Marathon, Scottish Great Run Marathon (in Glasgow) and Golden Gate Half Marathon (in San Francisco) in the past year or so.

“I managed to get third in the Golden Gate Half which was a nice way to finish the year’s running.”

His next goal is the Berlin Marathon, where he’ll be running for a charity – Prostate Cancer UK. “Both my grandfathers passed

away from prostate cancer so it’s an honour to fundraise for a cause aiming to provide better diagnosis, better treatment, better prevention and better support to those who suffer from it.”

For Mark himself, running is about more than just health and fitness. It’s an addiction; an addiction that started early.“I have been running since I was six or seven – whenever you are old enough to start children’s athlet-

ics. I guess it was just what a lot of my friends were doing.

“I ran middle distance all the way through till I went to the university in Otago, where injuries and other interests led to me drifting away from running.”

He was coached by David Wilson and then Joe Ford during his years in Ashburton. He continued training with Joe once he returned from university. “I moved to Wellington about four

years ago and started entering half marathons and increasing my training mileage and devoting a bit more time to it. A friend from university, Sam Kidd, has coached me since then.”

He reckons running ticks a lot of boxes for him.

“I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself and always trying to get better. Also the feeling of accomplishment, whether an easy run or a race, there is always

something to take away from it.

“I also find it a great way to get away from everything and mentally relax; I do often run and train with others, but I also enjoy not having to think and just getting out and running.”

Now living in London, Mark runs home from work most nights and often runs to work.

“It’s a good way to avoid the tubes which is great for saving a bit of cash … and the stress.”

Mark and his fiancé moved to London about 14 months ago with a two-year working visa in hand, and Mark works as a management accountant for an environmental asset management company, Impax Asset Management.

Outside of work, he trains six days a week and in an average week runs around 85 to 100km.

Sometimes it’s 130km-plus.

“Most of my training is done on my commute, which I try to do along the Thames River as opposed to on the streets where possible, as I prefer not to play chicken with all the pedestrians.

“In the weekends I try to get to some of the parks around London or try new areas if I can. We also do a lot of travel so I get to try out some pretty cool running routes when we are away. The past weekend we were in Geneva so it was a great way to explore along the lake.

“A few other interesting locations include a village in Poland while it was snowing and morning runs in the Croatian islands while on a sailing trip.”

Going on big runs while on a holiday like that might sound crazy for some, but when you love what you’re doing, it just happens.

“Basically I love to run, and have found I am kind of addicted to it, so it’s pretty easy to be motivated to get out – most of the time.

“There are sometimes issues with time constraints, but you do what you can. Basically it’s a cliché – the more you put in the more you get out.”

Mark was the third New Zealand runner home in the London Marathon and couldn’t have been happier with his result.

He’s good at what he does, but for him it’s more about having fun.

“I’m just aiming to get the most enjoyment and sense of accomplishment I can out of running right now.”

In saying that, he’s competitive. “I’d say I’m pretty serious, yet realistic, about it right now. As an athlete I’d say I’m competitive and love the thrill of competing whether it be against the clock or other competitors.

“Ultimately I’d like to try get on a few podiums, after all, who doesn’t like winning.”

The Baker brothers retired from retail life recently after four generations selling soft furnishings to the people of Mid Canterbury.

Linda Clarke catches up with them.

Business a family affair T

he Baker brothers are a tight bunch.

Maurice, Graeme and Ken live within a few blocks of each other and, until a couple of weeks ago, worked shoulder-toshoulder at the family business Mont Baker Carpet Court.

Their retirement from the carpet business is the end of a family connection to the East Street retail scene dating back 140 years.

The brothers have sold the Carpet Court franchise to Ashburton couple Paul and Glennis Wallis and say they are happy that it will remain a family operation.

The Baker brothers can trace their history in Ashburton back to their great grandfather James Were Baker, a cabinetmaker who emigrated from Halberton, England, on the Merope, arriving in Lyttelton in October 1873.

After a short time in Christchurch, he shifted to Ashburton and joined a building business with his brothers Charles and John, who had emigrated a couple of years earlier.

James broke ranks to start his own furniture shop in Havelock Street, and later his sons Montague (Mont) and William worked there too.

Graeme Baker Mont and William took over the business in 1901 and after William died the following year it was renamed Mont Baker’s.

In 1920 Mont shifted it to Burnett Street (opposite the Arcade) and then later to East Street, where it still stands today beside the Gluyas family’s Ford dealership.

When Mont died in 1937, his son Percy (Maurice, Graeme and Ken’s father) took over; he and his wife Alice and the three boys and their sister Val worked, lived

and played together there until he retired in 1981.

Maurice said they were good times for the family.

He remembers building toys with cast-off pieces of wood, Alice cooking tea at the shop, which was open until 9pm on a Friday night, then piling into the family car hooked to the caravan for a weekend down at Wakanui Beach.

The car was a Ford, of course, bought from their friends the Gluyas family next door.

Maurice, the eldest, was the first to join the business.

As a 14-year-old he worked after school there, and went back at night with Percy to fit carpet in new houses.

They carried on making furniture as well until 1991, when the shop was gutted by fire.

March 6 that year will be embedded forever on the minds of the brothers, who were all connected, with Percy, to the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade called out to extinguish the blaze.

The fire, which broke out at 2.30pm on a Wednesday, began in the roof and spread quickly to fill the shop with smoke and the cause was put down to an electrical fault.

Maurice Baker While Mont Baker’s was rebuilt, the business moved down to Whitcoulls.

When they returned to the end of East Street, they quit making furniture, concentrating instead on floor coverings and soft furnishings and then in 1993 they became a Carpet Court franchise.

Maurice said there was never any pressure to follow their father into the business, but all three brothers ended up there, and for the past 50 years they have been sharing family and

business life.

He said they worked hard, often going back at night to finish jobs.

Their collective children have all ventured into different fields and are spread around the country.

“People didn’t have a lot of money in the early days and many paid off their purchases over weeks.

“I still remember before the fire we had the biggest amount of Axminster patterned carpet around.”

These days synthetic carpet is as good as wool carpet and customers are up with trends and technology because they can Google search almost anything.

Vinyl and lino have been overtaken by tiles.

As a business, they were known for not having many sales.

“We never believed in that,” Maurice said.

“The price was the price, so sales were few and far between.

One Friday we did have one and we opened to find people lined up at the door.”

The brothers say Ashburton is a town with good vibes for the future.

And they’ll be keeping an eye on their old retail patch.

Natural goodness for your dog A passion for animal nutrition and a desire to put dogs before profit provided the impetus for Geraldine woman Philippa Hanley to launch her tried and proven fresh meat dog rolls on to the market.

Unlike many petfoods, Essentials dog rolls are suitable for all dogs, large and small, working or pets.

Philippa developed the formula to feed her own dogs, dissatisfied with the products on the market.

Having previously completed nutritional training at Massey University, she had already developed a successful line of equine feedstuffs.

“I breed mastiffs which are big dogs and I wanted one complete scientifically evaluated formula, I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I made my own,” she said.

Fresh lamb and venison, fit for human consumption, is used to make the dog rolls. Milk powder, vitamins and minerals complete the formula, with no additives or fillers used.

Essentials is nutritionally dense and, as less is fed, economically very competitive.

The petfood was nutritionally tested at Massey and has consistently proven to be a superior product.

Philippa’s motivation in deciding to market the Essentials dog rolls is entirely altruistic.

She has supplied the Mid Canterbury SPCA and Dog Watch in Christchurch with the product

for several years and has received glowing reviews, especially when it comes to helping sick or injured animals recover.

“I started making it for my own dogs and friends, but the demand got crazy and I decided

to give it a push,” she said.

Profits from Essentials dog rolls are used to support animal shelters and assist with neutering programmes and pay vet bills for cash-strapped pensioners, at the discretion of vets.

Essentials dog roll is available for purchase from Lolly Mania in the Countdown complex on East Street. Free samples and more information on the nutritional benefits can also be picked up from Lolly Mania.

Want the best dog food possible?

Essentials’ purity, along with high nutrient content, means you only feed a fraction of what you would with supermarket rolls.

This makes Essentials more economical than the cheapest, low budget, low quality supermarket roll.

More meat for your dollar and your dog will love it. at

Leicester informed the Football Association on Thursday that terms had been agreed on a four-year deal with Vardy, who had snubbed a proposed move to Arsenal. It ran contrary to the wishes of England manager Roy Hodgson, who had informed the squad prior to the Euros that he wanted them fully focused once they arrived at their training camp.

PSG sack Blanc Coach Laurent Blanc has parted ways with Paris St Germain, putting pen to paper on a ($NZ33.3 million) severance deal.

Blanc’s future at PSG appeared in jeopardy three weeks ago when club president Nasser al Khelaifi described the 2015-16 season as a failure because of the club’s elimination from the Champions League by Manchester City.

PSG achieved their second successive domestic treble by winning Ligue 1, the French Cup and the League Cup. - Reuters

Blue secures bragging rights

By James Ford

Wakanui Blue recorded their second win of the season in an allMid Canterbury affair at the Ashburton Hockey Turf on Thursday evening.

Blue took a 6-3 victory over Wakanui Black in their Mid-South

Canterbury senior men’s division one clash.

The local rivals had faced each other twice this season before Thursday’s clash, with Wakanui Black taking wins in both, but Blue claimed the latest bragging rights in what has been an inconsistent campaign for both teams.

Blue led 3-1 at half-time before extending their lead to 5-1 late in the second half before Adam Wilson and Sam Bennett fired back for Black, but a late penalty corner put the tie out of reach.

Wakanui Blue now face a tough outing against Northern Hearts today, who drew 3-3 with division

leaders Cambridge on Thursday evening after leading throughout.

Meanwhile, Wakanui Black have the bye, while senior ladies’ teams Hampstead and Hampstead-Collegians will both be away from home against Geraldine and Timaru Girls’ High School respectively.

Sherwood shrugs off dislocated knee New Zealand’s Levi Sherwood dislocated his knee in training in Madrid earlier yesterday but will still take his place in the elite 12-rider field gunning to win the world championship in freestyle motocross.

Sherwood shrugged off the

training incident and maintained it would not prevent him performing at his best in the Red Bull X-Fighters championship to be fought out in the famous Plaza de Toros bullring in the centre of the Spanish capital this morning.

Sherwood qualified third out of

12 riders at the qualifying session overnight.

“It’s not a big deal .... it (the knee) slips out pretty easy due to previous injuries I’ve had. I just pushed it back in and away we go again,” the 24-year-old daredevil from Palmerston North said.

England is back in the knockout stage of a major soccer tournament. And that usually means one thing: A strong chance of being involved in a penalty shootout. That’s bad news for the English. England has lost six of its seven shootouts in major tournaments since 1990, making it something of an unwanted tradition. England will play Iceland in the round of 16 at the European Championship, and Wayne Rooney said the team has been practising penalties after every training session at the tournament.

JION International Karate Dojo Ashburton will be well represented at the Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia in September, with three members set to compete.

Charlie Savage, Rosie Gray and Taylah Burrowes, who all represented NZ in last year’s Commonwealth Karate Championships in India, will again be competing in the Kumite age-group division as part of the NZ Karate team.

Eleven-year-old Charlie, who won a bronze medal at the Commonwealths, was recently a finalist in the Mid Canterbury Sport Awards where he received an award for consistent sporting excellence.

Not to be outdone, 12-year-old Rosie recently won two bronze medals in Kata and Kumite at the NZ Open Championships in Christchurch, while Taylah, who also won a bronze medal at the NZ Open Championships, is current Otago-Southland Kumite agegroup champion.

All three JION International Karate Dojo students regularly take part in training seminars with leading New Zealand instructors and former world class competitors including Sensei Dieter Steinegg, who held a session in Ashburton a fortnight ago.

Before travelling to New Caledonia, the trio will have another opportunity to train with Steinegg and other top class instructors at the annual Ashburton Gasshuku (training weekend) in August at Tinwald.

Right - Rosie Gray, Charlie Savage, and Taylah Burrowes will be New Caledonia–bound in September.

Bad day for Black Sticks New Zealand chose a bad time to turn out a poor performance when they were beaten 4-2 by Argentina in their penultimate round robin game at the women’s Champions Trophy in London yesterday. The match statistics were pretty even, but New Zealand frittered away possession too often, conceded a couple of soft goals and were made to pay for it by the world’s No 2-ranked team. The result leaves them out of the running to play for the gold and silver medals.

The Kiwis had plenty of ball against the world number two side but werent able to find the back of the net, the result securing a series win for the Dutch with game three still to play overnight. Despite the loss it was a special day for Black Sticks defender Blair Tarrant who brought up his 150th international cap.

Methven hits top gear

lenge now is to keep improving on converting our own possession.”

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The opening night of Mid Canterbury Netball’s Premier Grade trophy round produced wins for Methven, Ashburton College and Hampstead at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Thursday evening.

Hampstead 23 Southern 15

Methven 37 Celtic 27

The Premier Grade’s two most consistent teams locked horns for the third time this season in another thrilling tie.

Over two tightly contested encounters, Methven recorded a 2724 win in round one, before Celtic edged a 31-29 victory in the second round, but Thursday’s clash was a more one-sided affair.

Methven were quick out of the traps and held a 10-6 lead at quarter time as Celtic struggled to contain the reigning champions.

Greta Currie’s ladies had the better of the early exchanges again in the second quarter, despite a valiant defensive effort from Celtic’s Julia McLeod, and increased their advantage to 20-14 at halftime.

The third quarter was the closest as Ange Leadley’s side worked tirelessly to find a way back into the match, but were still outscored 8-5 by Methven.

Currie had called for a solid display throughout the full 40 minutes, and her team certainly delivered with another 10 goals in the final stanza for a convincing 37-27 win.

Leadley conceded that Celtic were beaten by the better side on the night.

“Last night (Thursday) we just didn’t click, every now and again you have those kind of games,” she said.

“Methven wanted it more than us and their timing and execution was excellent.”

Despite the loss, Leadley is confident her players will return to form, and believes the defeat will spur them on to improved performances throughout the competition’s most pivotal round.

“The girls are pretty disappointed in their game last night (Thurs-

day), which I think will motivate them,” she said.

“I don’t think a loss at this time to a side like Methven will affect the girls’ confidence.”

Currie was pleased with how her players maintained their intensity, and insisted that every game is as important as the last at the business end of the season.

“I think every game is really important now and the competition is really close,” she said.

“Our goal is to fire in every game and start each quarter as if it’s a new game, and I think we did that really well.”

icit in the second stanza – shaving the difference to one at 13-12.

But College showed plenty of maturity in their play with a solid team effort in the second half.

College coach Ange Mitchell said her players returned to their initial game plan – and it proved effective.

“We played more as units on attack and defence rather than trying to do things as individuals,” she said.

College boosted their lead to five in the third quarter, and, despite a late rally from United, saw out the contest for a 27-24 win.

Mitchell praised her players for their determination in the final quarter following a busy netball scheduled.

“It was an important game to set us off in the right direction and great to see we could hold our

composure in the last quarter,” she said. “Especially after playing three games in three days – the last quarter took a big effort and I was pleased that, under pressure, we managed to hold on.”

Despite the defeat, United coach Anne Gilbert was pleased with her side’s progress after maintaining their Premier Grade status with a win over Hampstead under-18 on Tuesday night.

“It was great being able to build on combinations from Tuesday’s game and we were pleased with the progress we have made with our new line up,” she said.

Gilbert said her players will now look ahead to their upcoming games, starting with Celtic next week.

“We won’t lose confidence from the loss as there were so many positives for us,” she said. “Our chal-

After losing out to newly promoted Southern on the opening night of round two last month, Hampstead weren’t about to make the same mistake twice.

Cindy Meadows’ team were dominate over the first two quarters and held a commanding 13-5 lead at half-time.

Hampstead didn’t let up in the third stanza, either, and increased their lead to 10 at 19-9.

Lizzy Bell was in fine form at WD and Makayla Cromie provided fast ball to the shooters in a strong ten minutes of play.

To Southern’s credit, they refused to go lightly, winning the fourth quarter 6-4, but Hampstead had enough of a cushion to secure the win.

Meadows said it was imperative that Hampstead got off to a winning start in round three.

“This is the most important round, so absolutely to come away with a win in the first game is critical for confidence and the competition,” she said.

In contrast, Southern co-coach Jodene Lowe said her players were disappointed with their performance, with a poor start proving costly despite a fourth quarter fight back.

“We were very disappointed with last night’s game, it simply wasn’t good enough and we didn’t really show up to play until the last quarter,” she said.

United are next up for Southern in what has the makings of an exciting clash with both teams out for their first win of the round.

“We will be working hard at training and bounce back as we have done in the past after a bad game,” said Lowe.

“Both Sonya (Frew) and I felt our mid-court worked tirelessly for the full 40 minutes and deserves a mention.”

In brief

Redemption time for Savea

By GreGor Paul The All Black coaches are about as curious as everyone else to see how Julian Savea performs in Dunedin.

They think they have fixed the big wing, or at least got him back into the sort of mental space he needs to be in.

But they can’t be sure until they see how Savea plays tonight.

“We will find out on Saturday, I suppose,” said All Blacks coach Steve Hansen yesterday.

“He has trained really well and he’s a different man to what we got when he first came into camp.

“I am confident we will get a better performance than we got last time.

“Am I confident we will get the top drawer one? Who knows, but if we do, it will be pretty special.”

Hansen is determined to be patient with Savea and coerce him back to his destructive best.

This determination is a show of faith from the coaching group that there is no reason to believe Savea can’t return to being the world’s best wing.

That conviction has been tested. Savea lost form and fitness during Super Rugby last year.

He drifted out of the campaign and had to spend three weeks reconditioning when he joined the All Blacks.

And this year, the story hasn’t been too different.

Savea has lacked effectiveness and confidence and he suffered a difficult night against Wales at Eden Park.

He was so out of sorts that he was given last week off to get his head in better shape.

Hansen felt Savea was crippling his natural instincts by over-thinking his role too much.

The coaches concluded that Savea had too much unnecessary clutter in his head – both game and non-game related – and that there was no quick or easy way to shake it out.

They hope that has changed but, again, are prepared to be patient if they find tonight that it hasn’t.

George of the Jungle Blues team-mate Charlie Faumuina has given Wales a warning that they will find George Moala hard to stop in the third test against the All Black in Dunedin tonight.

Faumuina said Moala is one of the best benchpressers of the backs members in the All Blacks squad.

“It’s probably the reason he’s George of the Jungle in the gym.

He’s not someone you’d want to be marking when he runs straight at you,” the prop said. “I’m looking forward to the battle he has with the Welsh boys and I’m sure he’ll get us some go forward.” - NZME

ABs go flatting

At last year’s Rugby World Cup, Julian Savea was considered the best wing in the world.

Savea’s position in the squad isn’t guaranteed but it is secure.

“No, I don’t think his position is in doubt whether he is good enough,” says Hansen.

“You don’t go from being one of the greatest wings in the world to not being good enough to make the team.

“We fully understand where he is at and what we are doing with him and that he is not far away from being where we need him to be.

“Until Saturday comes, we can’t know totally but I am pretty confident we will get something out of him on Saturday.”

FACT FILE New Zealand might have won their last 10 tests on the trot, but in only one of their last four have they managed to go into the halftime break with the lead.

New Zealand have now won their last 40 consecutive fixtures on home soil, 10 more than their next best streak in Test history.

Wales have conceded only 28 points in the opening half of their last three Tests against New Zealand combined, never trailing at the break in any of those fixtures (leading once, level twice); however they have conceded 81 second half points in those three games.

New Zealand have won all three Tests they’ve played at Forsyth Barr Stadium, though they’ve never won a game there by more than 10 points.

This will be their second fixture against a team from the Northern Hemisphere at the venue.

New Zealand are nine points shy of their 1000th against Wales, only against three other nations (Australia, South Africa, France) have the managed to notch four figures.

Kick off tonight will mark 1302 days since New Zealand last lost a test match against a Northern Hemispheric team (v England, 38-21).

Wales have scored 43 points in their last two away games against New Zealand; they’d managed just 46 in the seven previous iterations of this fixture.

Wales remain winless away from home from five games in 2016 (D1, L4), should they fail to win on the road in 2016 it would be the second time in the last three years that Wales were winless away from home in a calendar year.

Waisake Naholo has made 309 metres in this series so far, more than 50 metres more than the next best tally (Liam Williams – 243m).

Both sides have 100% success rates at the scrum so far in this series, New Zealand winning 12/12 on their own feed and Wales 14/14.

She ran in to her all-female flat and yelled “the All Blacks are outside’’. Joe Moody came to the door and offered to make the flatmates a cup of tea. They shifted drying racks of clothes to make room for Moody, Barrett, Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett, Nathan Harris, Seta Tamanivalu, Tawera Kerr-Barlow and skipper Kieran Read.

■ RUGBY

ABs’ energiser bunny

BY GREGOR PAUL Aaron Smith is the gift that keeps on giving.

He began his All Blacks career four years ago as nervous as everyone else about whether his pass and run game would work at the highest level.

And tonight, he’ll win his 50th cap, in near record time, as the man most would see as the best halfback in the world and a player whose offering may still predominantly be pass and run but now comes with added extras.

Selecting Smith to start against Ireland in 2012 was a risk: his lack of physical stature put him at odds with the game’s power obsession which had long extended to halfbacks.

But like all high risk players, he carried potential rewards.

It’s just no-one, not Smith and probably, in truth, not even head coach Steve Hansen imagined the rewards would be as great as they have been.

Smith hasn’t so much transformed the way the All Blacks play, rather, he’s been able to take them to a higher level with much the same philosophy they have had for he last decade of playing high tempo, ball-in-hand rugby that utilises the full width of the field.

He can’t take all the credit, but his role in enabling the All Blacks to become a devastating final quarter team has been significant.

The speed of their continuity is largely down to him – he’s at every ruck, never late, and the second the ball is clear, his hands are on it, whisking it away.

There’s no stutter steps, killing the space for others, as he winds up the pass.

Three’s no indecision or half-mindedness about his work and there is rarely inaccuracy.

His pass is honed, crisp and of the few things in test football that could be called beautiful.

He played his first test like that and then 48 more, becoming, in what seemed like no time, part of the All Blacks fabric.

“I remember the first time I was named [in the squad] there was only two halfbacks me and Piri [Weepu] and I was thinking to myself that I might get 10 minutes in the first test and I was pretty happy,” says Smith.

“And then bang, in the changing shed, I got named to start and oh my God it was actually happening.

“They just talk about do your job and I definitely feel that I got into knowing what I need to do for this team quickly.

“It is a very simple role for me – just to clear the ball as quick as I could and anything else I could was a bonus.

“I know that it affects my game when I try doing too much so Steve [Hansen] just says to me get there, clear the ball and do what you see. I think I’m at my best when I pass quickly and when the obvious comes I do it.”

It’s not solely the simplicity of his game that sets him apart it’s his abil-

ity to retain such clarity for such a prolonged period of time.

Most international coaches are happy to get 60 good, high-paced minutes out of their respective No 9s.

The All Blacks regularly get 70 out of Smith, if not more and if he has to, he can go the full 80 without the All Blacks losing that sweeping flow they are after.

That’s what breaks so many teams – the relentless speed of the All Blacks attack game.

As Wales have discovered this series, the All Blacks can suddenly go up a gear midway through the second half and hold it for 10 to 15 minutes.

Smith is typically at the vanguard of these deadly blasts. He makes himself the key decisionmaker and biggest influence.

And this is where reward outweighs risk – what he concedes in defensive muscularity, he gains in speed, aerobic longevity and high precision execution.

was all about halfbacks having to be 90kg,” he says.

“They said they had to be able to take tackles and all this and it just wasn’t my game.

“Dave Rennie was Manawatu coach and he said ‘I like the way you play, you do need to get more accurate in the tackle but if you can play the way you play for 30 minutes but push that out to 70, 80 you will be able to go places’.

“So the big thing for me was getting aerobically and anaerobically fitter. What changed was the anaerobic game, being able to play the way I wanted.

“It changed when I changed up my fitness and I got really fit and I could be where I wanted to be for a constant time – maybe 65 to 70 minutes.

“I didn’t used to like running but now I am a big fan of it.”

He’s reached the point where he’s come to see those late periods in tests, when players around him are gasping, as the moments in which he can define himself.

He doesn’t know how long he’ll be asked to play for tonight as with Tawera Kerr-Barlow having only just recovered from injury, the coaches may be keen to see the Chiefs man get some time.

But Smith won’t worry about that or hold anything back – he’ll just run and pass, as hard as he can, until he’s told to stop.

“When it really hurts and when other people would give up, that is when I feel I have to work harder and that is when you find yourself the most,” he says.

“Ireland in 2013 ... I remember thinking we have got to go 70 metres here but we had to.

“So we couldn’t stop until we did it and I can remember Crotts [Ryan Crotty] scoring and I just dropped to the ground. Not because we had scored, but because I could rest.

“Pain is temporary but you remember those games where you didn’t give up because I want to be an old man and look back and say that I went as hard as I could.”

The Spaniards, who aren’t even on the international sevens circuit, shocked Samoa and plenty of others with a fulltime try to win the repechage in Monaco and claim the 12th and final Rio spot.

Kiwi in for England England rugby coach Eddie Jones has picked a street fighter as his side chases history in what he has labelled a titanic third Test against Australia tonight. Jones has made one enforced change for the match, replacing injured flanker James Haskell with Teimana Harrison.

New Zealand-born Harrison, who has one cap, comes in for Haskell, who was outstanding in the first two tests.

■ CROSS COUNTRY

In brief

Mt Hutt runners turn in fine performances Seven Mount Hutt College students represented the Mid Canterbury region at the Canterbury Zones Primary Cross Country race on Wednesday.

The Mount Hutt contingent produced some fine results over a challenging 3km course – all placing in the top half of their races with most fields consisting of more than 120 students.

Origin stars back up Wayne Bennett expects to have all of his available State of Origin stars back-up for Brisbane’s NRL clash with Canterbury. Prop Josh McGuire only took part in light duties at training yesterday but Bennett says that was a precautionary step. Bennett is confident the front-rower will lineup against the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium tonight.

Unwanted record Oh how the NRL mighty have fallen. For the first time since 1992, the powerhouse trio of the Sydney Roosters, South Sydney and Manly are set to all miss the finals in the same season. While for the past six years at least one of the teams reached the last four of the finals, they all now sit dangerously stranded in the bottom quarter of the ladder.

Playmakers spark revival

BY DAVID SKIPWITH A pact between Warriors hooker Issac Luke and halfback Shaun Johnson to lift their respective running games proved the catalyst for the side’s improved attacking play over the past month.

The Warriors 38-12 defeat to Canberra in New Plymouth last month proved the final straw for Luke, frustrated with the team’s submissive performance in the first NRL game to be staged in his home province of Taranaki.

The most memorable part of the night came after fulltime, when the Kiwis international paid

his respects by leading the hundreds of family members, friends and supporters who had travelled from his home town of Hawera, in a spine-tingling haka.

With his teammates lined up behind him, Luke was visibly moved by the emotion of the moment, and was left wiping tears from his eyes as he departed the field.

“I felt really disappointed in myself to have lost down there,” said Luke.

“I know they didn’t really care about the result, they were just happy there was an NRL game in Taranaki.”

The experience inspired some deep reflection in the 29-year-old and after seven losses from the first 11 games, he conferred with Johnson about how they could help turn the Warriors season around.

Both players had been subjected to criticism for their lack of running and Luke knew they needed to lift their involvement with the ball in hand.

The results were evident in their next two wins over the Broncos and Knights, with Luke’s dummyhalf running giving the Warriors enough momentum to allow Johnson to

light up their right-edge attack.

“We had a bit of a talk after the Canberra game,” he said.

“I put a challenge to Shaun that we both have to run, as it will then bring both of us into the game.

“I have to run pretty early just to bring me into the play because I don’t want to be out of the game for too long.

“When Shaun runs the ball, everyone just stands still and they don’t know what to do.

“If he can carry on doing what he’s doing and picking his runs and passes, things are going to look good.”

Gagai’s next job

BY LAINE CLARK Now for his next trick – revitalising NRL cellar dwellers Newcastle.

Winger Dane Gagai pulled off a remarkable turnaround when he overcame a quad strain to bag a rare hat-trick in Queensland’s 26-16 State of Origin II win on Wednesday night.

Incredibly he now has five Origin tries in his first three games, travelling at the same clip as reigning try scoring record holder and Queensland teammate Greg Inglis.

It’s a hard act to follow.

But Gagai reckons he can pull it off by chiming into a NRL revival with the Knights.

“We’ve got a long way to go yet but I enjoy my time with (coach) Nathan Brown, I can see what he is doing and I believe in it,” Gagai said.

“I am sticking by him and doing what I can to help out there and get us in a position where we can start winning games.”

Wigan have announced the signing of Sydney Roosters NRL grand final winner Frank-Paul Nuuausala from the Canberra Raiders. The Warriors are thought to have beaten rivals St Helens to the signature of the 29-yearold prop, who joins them with immediate effect on a threeand-a-half-year contract and is expected to arrive in the next few weeks once he receives his visa. Nuuausala won the 2013 premiership with the Roosters before moving to the Raiders in 2015 and won 15 caps for New Zealand.

Daley on the defensive NSW coach Laurie Daley plans to talk to Phil Gould about his constant criticism of the Blues. Gould was scathing in his assessment of the Blues after they lost another State of Origin series, the 10th in 11 years, on Wednesday night at Suncorp Stadium. NSW’s most successful coach Gould said the Blues fish was rotting from its head and labelled the leadership of Paul Gallen and Robbie Farah as “selfish” and said it was the main reason for the team’s lack of success.

- NZME

Test of character A trip to Townsville to play the NRL premiers on their own ground is probably not the ideal scenario for struggling Manly. They’ll face a North Queensland team boosted by the return of Origin stars Matt Scott, Johnathan Thurston, Justin O’Neill and James Tamou. The Cowboys are chasing 10 straight wins at home, with Sea Eagles hooker Api Koroisau well aware of the challenge that lies ahead. “The best thing about us is that we have nothing to lose. We can throw everything we want at them.

This will be a good test ... see where our character is at.” - AAP

Bulldogs lose four Canterbury coach Des Hasler has been forced to make late changes to his side to meet Brisbane, after losing four players to injury. Josh Morris, Greg Eastwood, Raymond Faitala-Mariner and Tim Browne have all failed fitness tests and will miss tonight’s round 16 NRL clash against the Broncos at ANZ Stadium. However Hasler confirmed NSW stars Josh Jackson and David Klemmer will play. - AAP

Sprinter in top order for Riccarton Rising nine-year-old Toma Valea is in the form of his life and expectations of the sprinter are again understandably high as he chases consecutive Riccarton victories.

The gelding will step out in the Sonia & Garry Thompson Open Handicap today after comfortably accounting for the well-performed

King Montrose, a race rival again, earlier this month.

“He’s going as well as ever and even though he’s been up for a while, he just keeps training on,” said Michael Stokes, who prepares Toma Valea with his wife Tarsha.

“We thought the heavy track may have been an issue, but he

coped with it fine.

“It surprised us a bit because he hasn’t handled them in the past.

“He’s very well and he would have to be a good show again. He looks fantastic and he just keeps racing better and better.”

The only concern is Toma Valea’s continued rise up the handicap,

M4 Avondale gallops

although apprentice Jacob Lowry’s two kilo claim will help the cause.

“The weight is becoming an issue now,” Stokes said. “We’ll see how he goes on Saturday and we might give him a bit of a break and then bring him back for the Grand National meeting – there’s a $40,000 race for him.”

Community backing for Fire Museum Help is being sought from within the Ashburton Community to complete funding for the new Ashburton Fire Museum development at The Plains Historic Village in Tinwald.

MAJOR DONORS to date

The Lion Foundation/ Ashburton Trust The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury

The museum is the heritage collection of the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade which boasts one of, if not the most comprehensive collections of vintage gear in New Zealand relating to its 142 year history.

Says Ashburton Fire Museum chairman and retired fireman David Eddington. “Following strong support from the Ashburton Trust through the Lion Foundation, The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury, local businesses, service clubs and families, we are now appealing to the community for help to get this under way.”

There may be individuals looking to assist the community with a worthwhile project, family trusts or persons who

respect the long history of service of the Ashburton brigade who would like a tangible way to say “thank you”. This is the perfect opportunity to do that.

The new expanded development will showcase nearly 150 years of local firefighting showing how Ashburton's brigade has progressed from canvas buckets carried on a shoulder-yoke, through the steam age, right through to today's sophisticated cutting-edge operations.

The Ashburton Fire Museum will double as a heritage facility and also as an education centre with a strong message on safety and fire prevention. “This is what makes the project so exciting to us,” David Eddington said.

“To be able to immerse visitors including school and special interest groups in the history of our local brigade and give them messages which may well help save their lives in the process, is for us, hugely satisfying and important.

“We see our role as also significantly contributing to the overall experience at The Plains.”

Potential donors are encouraged to clip the panel below to contact the museum. Or residents can make contact through their legal representatives to discuss bequests, donations or grants.

“With the generous help of the district, we hope to have construction under way in the spring, said Mr Eddington.

NZ dollar tumbles on back of Brexit

Smiths City sales up, profit drops

BY SOPHIE BOOT Smiths City Group reported a 30 per cent decline in annual profit while at the same time lifting sales as the Christchurch-based retailer overhauled its operations to exit low-margin business.

Net profit fell to $5.6 million, or 10.6 cents per share, in the year ended April 30, from $8 million, or 15.2 cents, a year earlier, Smiths City said in a statement. Trading profit rose 54 per cent to $4 million on a 0.2 per cent rise in revenue to $221.9 million. In 2015, Smiths City recognised $8.5 million in other income due to insur-

ance payments to help repair its flagship Colombo St store.

Last May, the company appointed a new chief executive, Roy Campbell, who pushed the company to undertake a strategic review. Yesterday, it said efforts over the past year were “only the beginning of the journey” and the company will reshape its store, online and logistics operations and renew its focus on its finance business.

Smiths City repaid $10.1 million in bank debt in the year, leaving it with none. Its finance business held $66.6 million of finance receivables and owed $56.2 million

at the balance date, compared to receivables of $68.7 million and debt of $57.4 million a year earlier.

Chairman Craig Boyce said significant change had occurred throughout the company, including eliminating loss-making parts of the business such as the appliance retail stores and exiting noncore business activity such as the Alectra appliance service operation.

“We’ve reduced costs and improved our retail performance,” Boyce said. “The changes have successfully unified the company under the core brand and re-energised the business.”

Investment market update Global environment Higher volatility has been a hallmark of 2016, with an initial steep sell-off in credit and equity markets followed by a sharp rebound.

The US continues to lead developed economies and despite low first quarter growth for 2016, forward-looking indicators of the housing market (new home mortgage applications) signal positive momentum.

Wage growth has also started to accelerate and the wider measures of unemployment are approaching pre-GFC averages, suggesting a stronger underlying economy.

In Europe, credit growth has turned more positive and stimulus in China seems to have stabilised growth in this region.

Equity markets All the equity markets Forsyth Barr follow delivered solid positive returns for the quarter, in both local and New Zealand dollar terms.

Australasian markets led the way with double digit returns helped by very strong returns during March.

New Zealand equities continue to be supported by international buying. This is despite the latest

Selwyn Sloan and Michael Coleman MONEY MATTERS

reporting season showing earnings growth was below expectations and positive revisions were driven by lower interest costs rather than more positive revenue growth outlooks.

Australian equities, however, have begun to see some respite and a recovery in the resource sector.

The building sector benefited from the $A50 billion injection into infrastructure spending announced in the Budget, while banks recovered from the lows witnessed in February.

European and Japanese equity markets continue to be supported by central bank initiatives, and the purchase of both sovereign and corporate debt continues to force investors into higher risk assets to achieve adequate returns.

The UK equity market was the laggard, as the EU exit debate dominated the headlines.

Fixed interest markets Fixed interest returns were helped again by long-term interest rates falling over the quarter.

This was a function of negative interest rate policies internationally although US 10-year interest rates were the exception.

It also meant the Republic of Ireland was able to issue a 100year bond at an interest rate of 2.35 per cent and at a rate that was less than US 30-year bonds.

The Spanish followed and were able to issue a 50-year bond despite having defaulted on average, every 26 years.

Domestically, issuance was very strong over the last quarter and in particular, issuance of senior debt securities. This increase in choice has allowed investors to be more selective in participating in offerings and in positioning debt portfolios.

Gold and the yen, typically seen as safe haven investments, both climbed.

“We’ve come out of it relatively unscathed,” Kelleher said. “We’re as far as you can possibly get from all the carnage and we have reasonably attractive yields.”

New Zealand’s two-year swap rate dropped 14 basis points to 2.17 per cent and the 10-year swaps tumbled 21 basis points to 2.65.

The trade-weighted index was recently at 75.36, having earlier soared to 76.90, from 75.99 Thursday.

The kiwi rose to 63.88 euro cents from 63.41 cents and slumped to 71.06 yen from 75.12 yen Thursday.

The local currency dropped to 4.6286 yuan from 4.7222 yuan and rose to 95.53 Australian cents from 95.45 cents yesterday.

The New Zealand dollar tumbled more than US3 cents, or 4.4 per cent and swap rates dropped as the UK voted to leave the European Union, confounding the predictions of bookmakers and pollsters.

The kiwi dollar fell to US69.84 cents at 5pm in Wellington, from as high as 73 cents when voting closed yesterday morning at 9am (NZ time) and down from 71.80 cents late yesterday. The local dollar surged as high as UK52.88 pence, the highest in almost three years, and was recently at 52.21 pence, from 48.55 pence on Thursday.

Financial markets were wrongfooted by the Brexit vote, with polls calling the outcome too close to call as voting got under way and bookmakers predicting strong support for remaining in

tions and quite clearly useless on Brexit. The market got completely wrong-sided,” said Tim Kelleher, head of institutional FX sales at ASB Bank.

“Across the board, there’s risk off”.

Kelleher said there’s a high probability of intervention in currency markets by central banks, possibly acting in concert. “I don’t think the Bank of England has been in yet.”

The vote also “puts any chance of a Fed rate hike on the back foot and absolutely puts an August cut by the RBNZ on the cards,” he said.

New Zealand’s financial markets have been relatively unscathed in the fallout from the Brexit.

The South African rand and Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index tumbled more than 7 per cent, while New Zealand’s S&P/NZX 50 Index has fallen 2.3 per cent.

What would you do if you won?

Erin Tasker

T

he dream of winning big one day is probably a dream most of us have had.

In Ashburton, winning big has become a reality for three people in the past three months; three people have won big prizes in Lotto.

The biggest prize won by an Ashburton Lotto player this year is $22.2 million, while a first division win on Wednesday night nabbed another lucky punter half a million, and a Strike Four winner last month won just shy of $120,000.

None of those amounts are to be sneezed at. They’re all lifechanging amounts and could lead to living a debt-free life.

It’s been one hang of a lucky year for Ashburton Lotto players and all that winning makes you wonder, what would you do?

Our big winners have given hints as to who they might be, but none have gone public.

Would you? Some say they’d buy a car. What would your first purchase be?

It’s something a lot of us have probably given thought to at one time or another. If a whole heap of money was to suddenly come our way, what would we do with it?

I’m a Lotto player; I buy a ticket to every Saturday night draw and kick myself on the odd time I forget. After all, that one week could be the week that I was meant to win.

But I don’t like my chances. My awesome nana had a win on Lotto’s Winning Wheel a few years back, so I figure my chances of now winning big myself aren’t high. How often do you hear of two people from the same family winning big? Not often.

But it’s always a dream and, for the odd lucky person amongst us, it’s a dream that will come true. And no-one knows what they would do, until the situation becomes a reality.

There is one thing everyone must do if they win big though and that’s stay grounded. Don’t make any big, rash decisions.

Take time to think about it; let it all sink in. And carefully consider who you tell.

Winning Lotto is huge and can change lives forever, but money isn’t the answer to everything.

It does help though.

Prime ministerial U-turn

S

o Prime Minister John Key has changed his mind.

The military is to stay in Iraq for 18 months longer than he first stated.

“U-turn”, screams the meddling media, led by Mr “Newshub” Gower and others of his ilk. “Flip-flop”, they shout. “Key changes his mind, again”.

The cartoonists draw the nose of the Prime Minister getting longer and longer even as the observer watches.

In a word – strictly a media word – the Prime Minister has “stuffed up”. Implication, it is not possible to trust a word he says.

The leader of the Labour Party, currently, Andrew Little, comments he would “bring the boys home”.

No doubt the Greens too had something to say now they are in a MOU (memorandum of understanding) with Labour, but whatever it was seems not to have made the media.

What a farrago of foolishness!

Any leader, prime minister, president, regardless of political hue, has the right and often the duty to change his mind when fragile, fluid situations alter and the original plans to deal with the issue have become less relevant or even entirely irrelevant. That’s what leaders are paid to do.

Yes, our training troops in Iraq were originally due to end their mission to that benighted country in the near future but the democraticallyelected Prime Minister, in his perceived wisdom, has decided the job there is not yet done so has adapted accordingly to meet the

Nick Lindo

EYE ON POLITICS

changing circumstances. As one would expect him to.

To instantly characterise that as a sign of weakness or of dithering incompetence is an approach of such juvenility it beg-

gars belief.

Many positions change and call for new responses, of which anything involving terrorism or active warfare are about the highest on the list. Any leader who ignores such fluctuations would at once be roundly accused of “having his head in the sand” by the very same people who are now accusing him of a full-blown volte face. And we are not talking here just about John Key. Since the media gained such ascendancy and wild over-confidence in their own importance and status and acquired the selfchosen role of telling us what to think, leaders who had the temerity to indicate their best intentions were not necessarily set in stone, have been hammered.

Of course, leaders have over time, cynically or otherwise, changed their minds for purely political purposes to try to win back lost votes and, in a less than impressive attempt, to curry favour with the people. But this “flip-flop” is not remotely in that category.

If we are to be seen to be doing our bit to bring down and eradicate the “dark forces” at work in the Middle East in support of other West-

ern allies there, then, if we are not actually going to bear arms ourselves, the next best thing is to train the locals to do so.

If it begins to look as if the Iraqi army will never make the grade then some other tactic will have to be employed to defeat Isis and its blood-curdling adherents.

At least give our Prime Minister some legendary “wriggle room” to adjust to the needs of the day and not as they may have looked to him 18 months ago. In military parlance, 18 months make an age.

Meanwhile, back here in Aotearoa, Ta Tai Tokerau to be precise, Hone Harawira, recently a political colleague of the well-known entrepreneur Kim Dotcom is said to be planning a comeback at next year’s election.

He feels the incumbent, the formidable, photogenic Kelvin Davis, who ousted Harawira in 2014, is ripe for picking and then trampling underfoot, while he leads a glorious Mana revival out of the wilderness and back into the Beehive.

I feel he may be fooling himself or simply suffering from quite a nasty case of wishful thinking, a complaint for which there are still few antibiotics.

Mr Davis has, surely, established himself as a power in the Labour land – even been positioned to be a not-too-distant future leader, whose plans seem unlikely to be upset by the aggressive, deliberately controversial Mr Harawira.

Stranger things have happened at sea, I know, but to me this doesn’t seem like becoming one of them.

Final thought for the week: Twenty-six weeks of paid maternity leave; the finance minister isn’t buying it. “Too much,” says Mr English.

Could he be responsibly right or simply a mean-fisted so-andso entirely out of touch with the real world? Your call.

Volunteers - where would be without them?

T oday marks the end of National Volunteer Awareness week.

The Bible reminds us that God has given each of you a talent or skill and we are to use them well to serve others.

Throughout the Bible there are stories and reminders of doing things for others, not for gain, not for profit but to live out the faith.

There is something immensely rewarding about doing for others, volunteering your time to help make someone’s life better or improve something.

When you volunteer you help other people, you help the economy and you may help the environment.

Your time makes a difference to other people and while there is no financial gain from volunteering, there are many rewards – it makes you a better person,

Dellwyn Moylan

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

who makes you feel good about yourself, it improves your health and mental wellbeing, all great reasons to volunteer.

Our community depends on volunteers.

Just take a moment to imagine where we would be without all our volunteers – your house is burning and the fire brigade isn’t there, your elderly relative who lives alone and can’t cook doesn’t get a meal as there are no meals-on-wheels drivers, your child wants to learn football and there are no coaches, the blind lady around the corner doesn’t have anyone phone her as there is no St John Caring Caller, the playgrounds needs attention but

there is no service club, there is a disaster and there is no Red Cross or Civil Defence team to turn up, you are in hospital and there is no family to visit and the staff are busy so there are no Friends of the Hospital to take you to chapel services, take time to have a chat or make your morning tea, and the list goes on.

Last Sunday St Andrew’s hosted the annual St John service – an organisation that couldn’t exist if it weren’t for more than 10,000 volunteers working for them.

As part of the service we heard about an incident of in-house fighting at St Andrew’s Church.

Rev David Brown went into the church one evening and heard a dreadful fight going on.

No, it wasn’t over who had stolen whose carpark. The fighting was coming out of the organ console. Each part of the organ – the peddles, the flute, the

trumpet, the clarinet and all the other parts – were fighting over who was most important.

What they discovered was they each had a talent, each was no more or less important than the other.

And the most important lesson was if they took their gift, used it and worked together they could achieve something magnificent.

It’s the same with us, if we gift some of our time to an organisation or cause in our community then together we can make Mid Canterbury a magnificent place to live.

And that is what many of you are doing by volunteering your time, you make the Ashburton District the great place it is.

So thank you for volunteering in our community.

Britain to divorce EU after vote Britain has voted to leave the European Union, an outcome that will set the country on an uncertain path and deal the largest setback to European efforts to forge greater unity since World War Two. The BBC made the call based on voter tallies from yesterday’s historic referendum as 304 of 382 areas showed a 51.5/48.5 per cent split for leaving.

World financial markets have dived with the sterling suffering its biggest one-day fall of 9.4 per cent against the US dollar on market fears the decision will hit investment in the world’s fifth largest economy.

The vote to leave also raises questions over London’s role as a global financial capital and ushers in months of political limbo.

The euro slumped nearly 4 per cent against the US dollar on concerns a Brexit vote would do wider economic and political damage to what would become a 27-member union. Investors poured into safe haven assets including gold and the yen surged.

In an early mark of international concern, Japan’s top currency diplomat Masatsugu Asakawa said he would consult with Finance Minister Taro Aso on how to respond to the market moves, describing the foreign exchange moves as very rough.

Yet there was euphoria among Britain’s eurosceptic force.

“Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom,” said Nigel Farage, leader of the eurosceptic UK Independence Party.

“If the predictions are right, this will be a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, a victory for decent people ...

Let June 23 go down in our history as our independence day.”

He called the EU a “doomed project”.

Asked if Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the referendum in 2013 and campaigned to stay in the bloc, should resign if Britain voted for Brexit, Farage said:

A teller counts ballot papers at the Titanic Exhibition Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland, after polls closed in the EU referendum. Britain has voted to leave the EU. – AP “Immediately.” Quitting the EU could cost Britain access to the EU’s trade barrierfree single market and mean it must seek new trade accords with countries around the world. President Barack Obama says it would be at the “back of a queue” for a US pact.

The EU for its part will emerge economically and politically weakened, facing the departure not only of its most free-market proponent, but also a member country that wields a UN Security Council veto and runs a powerful army. In one go, the bloc will lose around a sixth of its total economic output.

Cameron is expected to formally report the result to his European counterparts within days and prepare negotiations for the first exit by a member state from the EU – an exit he has said would be irrevers-

ible. The British leader called the referendum in 2013 in a bid to head off pressure from local eurosceptics, including within his own party. Initially billed as an easy ride, the vote has now put his political future on the line. Party ally Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who became the most recognisable face of the “leave” camp, is now widely tipped to seek his job.

Opinion polls had see-sawed throughout the four-month campaign, but the Remain camp edged ahead last week after a pro-EU member of parliament, Jo Cox, was shot and stabbed to death.

In the end though, the pro-EU camp was powerless to stop a tide of anti-establishment feeling and disenchantment with a Europe that many Britons see as remote, bureaucratic and mired in permanent crises.

Democrats end gun protest

BY SUSAN CORNWELL

Visitors pay their respects at a memorial in front of the Pulse nightclub yesterday in Orlando, Florida, site of the largest mass shooting in modern US history.

PHOTO AP

Democratic lawmakers have ended a daylong protest in the US House of Representatives to protest the lack of action on gun control and Congress looks unlikely to approve meaningful firearms restrictions in the wake of the Orlando massacre.

Democratic house members started a sit-in on the floor of the House on Thursday, chanting and singing, and stayed all night to push for gun control legislation after this month’s shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, which killed 49 people.

Republicans, who hold a majority in the House, adjourned the chamber and went home for a holiday break.

Representative Steny Hoyer, the No.2 Democrat in the House, yesterday said that lawmakers would now go back to their home districts to try to build support for legislation.

As the protest ended, the chances of gun legislation immediately after Orlando appeared to be worsening.

In the Senate, Republicans aimed to vote late yesterday on whether to derail bipartisan compromise gun control legislation that has been under negotiation for several days, Republican Senator Bob Corker told reporters.

Led Zeppelin cleared Led Zeppelin (below) did not lift a guitar riff used in its signature song Stairway to Heaven from the US group Spirit, a Los Angeles jury has found, saying there were substantial differences between the two. The jury’s decision, reached yesterday (NZ time), its second day of deliberations, followed a week-long trial in US District Court in Los Angeles that had called into question the originality of the classic 1971 song of Led Zeppelin, one of the top-selling rock acts of all time.

The jury found that Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page had access to Spirit’s 1967 song Taurus but that the riff they were accused of taking was not intrinsically similar to the opening chords of Stairway.

Police looking for Sinead Chicago police have advised officers to be on the lookout for Irish singersongwriter Sinead O’Connor (below) after receiving a report she threatened to jump from a bridge. Police spokesman Officer Thomas Sweeney said yesterday there isn’t an active police search for O’Connor. He said Irish authorities reported O’Connor contacted her family, saying she was suicidal. Sweeney said officers spotted someone threatening to jump from a bridge over a Chicago expressway, but it turned out to be a 54-year-old man. He was taken to a hospital.

Zombie dog?

Police in New Hampshire say a macabre mammal spotted in a town cemetery is likely a mangy fox — not a “zombie dog” or mythical beast as some have speculated. A photo (below) taken this week by the Merrimack Police Chief Mark Doyle and posted on Facebook attracted speculation about the nearly hairless brown animal with a long tail and square jaw. Many guessed it was a rabid coyote, or perhaps a chupacabra, a purported gargoyle-like creature that drains the blood of goats and other victims. Others suspected a hoax. Lt Matthew Tarleton acknowledges the animal looks “like something out of a horror movie”, but said a game officer believes it is a fox afflicted with mange.

In brief Kidnapped men Australian officials are maintaining close contact with the families and employers of three Australians kidnapped after a deadly attack in Nigeria, foreign minister Julie Bishop says. The men, along with a New Zealander, were in a group driving on the outskirts of the city of Calabar when they were attacked by gunmen this week.

The trio was working for Perthbased mining company Macmahon Holdings in Nigeria’s south-east.

Ms Bishop said the kidnappers had not made any demands.

■ CHINA TORNADO

Rescuers search for survivors

By Paul Traynor Rescuers in eastern China searched yesterday for survivors of a tornado and hailstorm that killed at least 78 people as it swept over a city’s outskirts, destroying buildings, smashing trees and flipping vehicles on their roofs.

The tornado hit a densely populated area of farms and factories Thursday near the city of Yancheng in Jiangsu province, about 800km south of Beijing.

Nearly 500 people were injured, 200 of them critically, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Roads were blocked with trees, downed power lines and other debris. Heavy rain and the possibility of further hailstorms

and more tornadoes complicated rescue efforts, state broadcaster CCTV reported.

Yesterday, rescuers worked to carry injured villagers into ambulances and deliver food and water to others, Xinhua reported.

In badly hit Xintu village, survivors grieved over lost relatives and surveyed the damage wrought on their homes.

“The people inside ran outside but the wind was too strong so they couldn’t,” villager Wang Shuqing told an Associated Press reporter. “My family were all inside, they all died. The police then came and took the bodies out, I can’t bear it.”

The disaster has been declared a national-level emergency and on a trip to Uzbekistan, Chinese

President Xi Jinping ordered central government bodies to provide all necessary assistance.

Tents and other emergency supplies were already being sent from Beijing, CCTV said.

The network showed people carrying the injured to hospitals, cars and trucks lying upside down, street light poles snapped in half, and steel electricity pylons crumpled and lying on their side. Power and telephone communications were knocked out over a broad area.

Jiangsu is a coastal province north of Shanghai. Yancheng is an ancient city with more than 8 million people.

The Jiangsu provincial fire and rescue service provided no word on casualties. It said on its micro-

blog that the storm was accompanied by hail.

Crews were dispatched to evacuate workers and secure chemicals and other potentially dangerous items at a sprawling solar panel factory in a Yancheng suburb, it said. No chemical leaks been reported, CCTV said.

Photos showed a wrecked three-storey school with large trees strewn on its playing field.

Its windows had been blown out and its roof and upper floor torn off, along with those of numerous other buildings.

Bodies were shown lying in the open or buried in rubble. At least one hog farm was hit, its livestock covered in bricks and roofing material.

The US Supreme Court has blocked President Barack Obama’s plan to spare millions of immigrants in the country illegally from deportation in a split ruling that heartened political foes who had accused him of overstepping his powers. Yesterday’s 4-4 ruling, coming seven months before Obama’s term in office ends, marked the latest success that his Republican adversaries have had in thwarting a major policy initiative of the Democratic president.

Used like a ‘sex object’ A man jailed for 22-and-a-half years for raping his own daughter and pimping her to six other men allowed strangers to “treat her as a sexual object”, a Perth judge says. The father, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to 61 offences committed between 2013 and 2015 when the girl was aged between 11 and 13. The 42-yearold’s offending included giving the girl a stupefying drug, watching as others raped her and recording her while she was naked and in bondage.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT�.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier.

Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

To arrange an appointment contact our Resort Manager: Tony Sands on 03 307 9080 | 0800 2727 837 | A/H 03 302 6887 | tony@lochlearesort.co.nz Find us just off Racecourse Road at 25 Charlesworth Drive, Ashburton or visit www.lochlearesort.co.nz

QUICK

25/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): New people inspire new awareness. The mere freshness of an association can cause you to slow down and tune in to what makes life seem more precious and beautiful.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Hearts are among the more resilient organs of the body. Today you’ll do something you wouldn’t have been able to do just weeks ago – proof that your heart has really healed.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Are you having a hard time picturing what your life will be like after you make your move? Maybe that’s because it’s not the right move to make. If it doesn’t spark your imagination, don’t take one step forward.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It wasn’t going to work between you and that certain someone if things stayed the same. Have things changed? And if so, have they changed enough to make a difference?

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s something magical about the way a person looks at you with so much hope, trust and big, pure love that your heart can’t help but melt into the warmth of this gaze.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The people who want you to be nice all the time might actually be trying to control you because your power is a threat. There’s nothing wrong with that edgy, angsty part of you. It’s what will push you to do and be more.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There are times when being very direct and telling people what you really want works beautifully to produce results. Right now you’ll have to do a little more research to get to the desired result. Find out what they want first.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Those who feel oppressed or stuck may currently lack the confidence to revolt, but that doesn’t mean the revolution isn’t coming. Take a picture of the way things are. It won’t stay this way for much longer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If you make the world a better place for you, doesn’t that count as making it a better place in general? At least it’s a start. You can scale it up from there.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It’s always nice to make yourself useful, but don’t for one minute think it’s necessary. You’re valuable because you are.

Give when you want to and are driven to.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re not doing anything to make another person jealous, yet maybe that’s built into the equation. There’s something good in it for you. Just don’t overplay your advantage.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your beautiful smile, the way you listen to people, your gracious manners – these things will matter more than anything else you could do to impress or ingratiate yourself.
