Fiery finish to Hinds crash

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two women had a horror start to the week yesterday when one pulled over after witnessing a serious car crash near Hinds, only to discover that her sister was one of the car’s three occupants.

According to a witness, the

car, which was travelling north on the Hinds Highway near Winslow, flipped and burst into flames after veering off the road and hitting a culvert shortly before 9am yesterday.

The woman, who did not wish to be named, said she was travelling back from Queenstown when she saw the crash.

She said she pulled over to help as she had first aid training, but was shocked to discover her sister was in the vehicle.

“I didn’t even know she was on the road,” she said.

According to the woman, her sister and the other occupants of the vehicle did not sustain serious injuries and were able to

Two fire appliances from Ashburton and one from Hinds attended the scene, as well as police and an ambulance crew.

Hinds chief fire officer Dave Kingsbury said it took fire crews “a reasonable amount of

time” to extinguish the fire in the car, which received significant frontal damage.

“It’s very seldom that a vehicle will actually ignite after an accident,” he said.

Neither Ashburton police or Canterbury police responded to requests for comment by deadline yesterday.

Hawke’s Chardonnay?

Vidal Estate winemaker Hugh Crichton has declared Hawke’s Bay as New Zealand’s “greatest chardonnay-producing region”.

The Vidal Legacy Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2013 won the top prize at the 2014 Air New Zealand Wine Awards on Saturday night.

At the Pettigrew Green Arena with MC Paul Henry, the wine won the supreme Air New Zealand Champion Wine of the Show Trophy and the Rabobank New Zealand Champion Chardonnay Trophy. Vidal picked up a third award, the Waitoa Free Range Chicken Champion Exhibition White or Sparkling Wine Trophy, for its Vidal Legacy Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2012. Mr Crichton said 2012 was “a bloody-tough vintage.

It was probably the coolest and wettest in about 30 years, so it is pleasing to see this sort of wine can be made,” he said. Sir George Fistonich, founder of Villa Maria which owns Vidal, said success was due to Mr Crichton being uniquely “persistent, passionate and totally unrelenting in his ability to push and tell the world New Zealand can make some of the best chardonnay”.

Who wants to be in a movie?

Attention, all aspiring movie stars, Walt Disney Studios wants you. The company has announced it will shoot the action film Pete’s Dragon in New Zealand in early 2015. Filming locations include Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Canterbury and as well as providing work for local craftsmen and crew, a call has gone out for local extras. The film’s production will be based at Stone Street Studios in Wellington. Pete’s Dragon is a reinvention of the 1977 Disney classic, and will blend live action and computer-generated imagery to tell the story of a special bond between an orphan boy named Pete and his best friend, Elliot, a dragon. Producer Barrie Osborne said New Zealand was the best location to shoot the film.

“The New Zealand aesthetic beautifully matches what the screenplay requires,,” he said. David Lowery will direct the film. Oakes Fegley will play Pete.

Gaga thanks Elton John for saving her Lady Gaga has credited Sir Elton John with saving her when she was struggling with drink and drugs. The Bad Romance hitmaker, who is godmother to the superstar’s two sons, realised she needed help after she passed out drunk on the lawn at her boyfriend Taylor Kinney’s brother’s wedding. “I got drunk and fell asleep on the front lawn throughout the ceremony. “It’s like you have no sense of reason. I was even wearing Versace. I’m sorry for that, too. I can laugh about it now but it was f**ked up for a little while,” Gaga told The Sun in London. However, her friend Elton John, who spent years battling his own drug demons, reached out to her in her time of need and urged her to stop smoking so much marijuana. “It’s pretty messed up being friends with people who used to have drug and alcohol problems like Elton. He got me on the straight and narrow. He was telling me: ‘Gaga you’re smoking too much.’

He saved me... I’m sober now.

Sometimes. Not always.

Just when I’m on stage,” Gaga said.

1D split from tour manager One Direction’s long-term tour manager has reportedly quit his job and walked away from the pop group’s promotional trip in the US. Paul Higgins, who was reportedly nicknamed the group’s babysitter, has worked with the band since they formed in 2010, but editors at Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper report there has been friction between Higgins and Zayn Malik in recent days. The article suggests Higgins quit after an argument with Malik and flew back from the US where the boyband is promoting new album Four. A source tells the publication, “There have been issues behind the scenes for a while and they’ve finally come to a head leading to Paul’s relationship with the band coming to an end. In many ways he has completely run the show while they’ve been on tour – they even call him Daddy. He became a friend as well as a key part of their management set-up.”

■ MID CANTERBURY SPCA

Verbal, physical abuse ‘not on’

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Local SPCA volunteers are dealing with huge amounts of verbal and physical abuse, and the manager of the organisation’s Mid Canterbury branch has had enough.

Mid Canterbury SPCA inspector and manager John Keeley believed he was physically threatened “at least half a dozen times per year”, and staff at the local SPCA centre were dealing with increasing amounts of verbal abuse.

Mr Keeley also alleges a man took “three swings” at him over the weekend, after he was called to seize two dogs that had been allegedly left tied up outside with no water for four hours.

“You’ve got no idea the crap we get,” he said.

“You cop it left, right, and centre.”

Mr Keeley said he’d had enough of his staff, who are all volunteers, being subjected to verbal abuse and threats.

“You don’t expect abuse like that,” he said.

“Some of the verbal abuse is just incredible.”

He believed that the verbal abuse directed towards himself and his staff was just as bad as physical abuse.

Royal New Zealand SPCA chief executive officer Ric Odom said SPCA volunteers and employees had always been subject to threats and abuse.

“Sadly, that kind of abuse is

part of the job for an animal welfare officer,” he said.

“It shouldn’t be, but it is.”

Mr Odom said SPCA staff copped a huge amount of verbal abuse, and were occasionally threatened with physical abuse.

He said call outs where there were “high levels of anger” always had the potential to lead to a physical confrontation.

Safety had become such a major concern, some branches in bigger centres insisted on staff wearing stab-proof vests, he said.

Mr Odom said staff usually attended call-outs alone, but they could request that a colleague or member of the police go with them if they felt their safety was at risk.

Six dog attacks in two months Over the past two months there have been six dog attacks in the Ashburton District, with three of the offending dogs destroyed.

In September six sheep were killed by two dogs and while the dogs were shot by the sheep owner, investigations are still continuing into the incident.

A second attack by a dog on sheep also occurred during the month and the offending dog was impounded by the Ashburton District Council’s dog control contractor and later destroyed.

From Cape Reinga to Bluff in 30 days

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Running and cycling the length of New Zealand – from Cape Reinga to Bluff – may sound like an impossible task to many people – but for Sione Paea it is a reality.

Mr Paea passed through Ashburton yesterday, 24 days in to his month-long challenge to raise money and awareness for child cancer.

The nineteen-year-old began his trek at the lighthouse at Cape Reinga on November 1 and aims to be in Bluff by November 30.

Originally from Tonga, he is the only Pacific Islander to take on such a challenge.

Earlier this year he lost a friend to cancer and said he is “doing this to honour him,” by going through 30 days of temporary pain.

So far Mr Paea has encountered no major issues.

“My body is holding up, I think I did my homework right,” he said.

His support team is made up solely of friend Alan Solomon – who drives alongside Mr Paea and cheers him on.

“He’s my Mum and Dad for the whole journey,” Mr Paea joked.

Before taking on the adventure, he was playing semi-professional rugby in Australia and then came back home to train for 13 months to get himself

physically fit.

His toughest experience by far, he said, was traversing the Desert Road.

“It was raining heavily, hailing and snowing and there was a head-wind – I could feel the cold air in my lungs.”

His favourite part of the journey though, was cycling down the beautiful East Coast of the South Island.

As for what is next for him – well rest is not really on the cards. Mr Paea is studying for a Bachelor of Sport Science at Massey University and is set to go back to his job as a sports co-ordinator only a week after getting home.

If that does not sound like enough, he is also chasing a dream to become a fitness industry model.

Rugby could also be on the cards again but after dropping nearly 30 kilograms to be in tiptop shape to traverse the country – he joked that he would need to bulk up first.

So far he has raised $2258.80 towards his $10,000 goal through the Everyday Hero page and has run and cycled more than 1660 kilometres.

Right - Sione Paea stopped in Ashburton yesterday for a well-deserved rest after setting off on a mission to run and cycle the length of New Zealand in 30 days.

two attacks by dogs on people.

In both cases the dogs were seized and impounded.

Both were later classified as menacing and their owners fined under the Dog Control Act. Over the past two months 44 dogs have found their way into the district’s pound, with council serving 32 notices on dog owners after complaints were made about excessive barking.

Of the almost 7000 dogs in the district, 6394 are legally registered with the outstanding registrations being followed up by council staff.

In brief Influenza deaths Each year, it is estimated an average 401 New Zealanders die from influenza-associated causes, according to estimates published for the first time. A University of Otago, Wellington study estimated that between 1990 and 2008, the majority of influenza-associated deaths occurred in those aged 65-years and over. University of Otago, Wellington Department of Public Health professor Michael Baker said unfortunately the numbers were not broken down regionally, as generally influenza sweeps the country as a whole and there would not be a lot of difference between regions.

Police car chase crash A police car and fleeing car smashed into one another yesterday. Yaldhurst Road in Christchurch was partially closed after the collision just before 5pm.

Diversions were in place on Yaldhurst Road and police urged the public to be patient and find alternative routes home where possible. Investigations were ongoing. The fire service also attended the event.

Fatal crash charges A 17-year-old Eketahuna man is facing charges related to a crash in which a teenager was killed and a woman seriously injured. The crash involved a southbound Ford vehicle that collided head-on with a car driven by Sheree Painter on SH2 about 5km south of Pahiatua on July 23. Ms Painter received serious leg and abdominal injuries in the crash. Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan, officer in charge of the Manawatu CIB, said Cheyenne Ihaka, 16, died at the scene and it was suggested he was the driver of the Ford vehicle and a 17-year-old in the car with him was the passenger. “However, it was determined that this was not the case. The man has been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and careless driving causing death.

■ ASHBURTON HOUSING INITIATIVE

Red tape holds up plans

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Gordon Mockford believes he has a solution that will go a long way towards solving Ashburton’s affordable housing shortage.

Since 2009 he’s been battling red tape to establish a settlement of 20 relocatable homes on a 2.8 hectare Bridge Street site that would also be used as a camping ground.

The idea, however, has failed to win the heart or the mind of the Ashburton District Council.

Mr Mockford tried to get planning consent for the camping ground and relocatable homes in 2010. He failed but didn’t give up.

He took his fight to the Environment Court and won, but it was a partial win. The camping ground got the nod and so too did the relocatable houses, but these could be occupied for no longer than 50 days at a stretch.

And that decision effectively stopped the affordable housing project in its tracks. But it hasn’t stymied it, Mr Mockford said.

He’s since moved three relocatable buildings onto his site, one to be used as a cabin, one as an ablution block and the third as a kitchen-lounge for the camping sites. And confident that the council will eventually see sense, he’s continued with undergrounding work that will take power and water to the 20 relocatable homes and waste water away to an on-site treatment plant.

“The concept is fantastic and it’s exactly what’s happening in Australia and it’s happening in the North Island too, where the people owning the units just pay rent on the land. Yes, they’re small, but they’re new, they’re modern and they would be a home”.

He anticipates the one and two bedroom units would go to the market at not too much

over $100,000, putting them within reach of a new group of home buyers.

In refusing to let permanent residents in his camping ground, Mr Mockford said the council was playing by double standards.

“In its own camping ground it has people who’ve been there for seven or eight years. Now they’re policing their own

camping ground and those people will probably be moved on.

I don’t want to see them moving people out, that’s not what I want to achieve, I believe long stay people should be able to stay in their park and in mine.”

He’s determined to see the relocatable housing project through to the end and is pushing ahead, developing the camping ground and completing underground services for the houses. Common sense, he says, must eventually win the day.

From a planning perspective, changing from visitors accommodation to what amounts to permanent residential accommodation for a number of residents would mean a significantly greater density than the one dwelling per site that the zoning anticipates, said council district planning manager Ian Hyde.

For these non-compliances to be formally considered, a resource consent would be required which would be considered “on its merits”, he said.

In terms of long stay residents at the council’s Tinwald camping ground, environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle said that the council had in July made several site visits and its site committee and site manager had been advised about the appropriate legislation around long stayers in camping grounds.

They had then acted on this advice and no enforcement action had been taken by the council.

LED upgrade for street lights Miracle escape

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It might be a big outlay initially but changing to LED street lighting will carve a large slice off the Ashburton District Council’s annual power bill.

The council plans to spend about $1.25 million over the next five years upgrading street lighting and has applied for funding through the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).

The queue for funds, however, might be long, assets manager Andrew Guthrie said, with most other local authorities also intent on a street lighting upgrade.

“The success of the funding application will not be known until April. If the application is not successful, we will still be moving to LEDs, but it will simply take longer to implement,” he said.

Payback in terms of a lower power bill is between five and seven years.

The council plans to tie its conversion in with the underground work programme of EA Networks, with street light poles installed after un-

dergrounding of lines to have LED heads.

Inevitably there would be a post-fit programme to pick up poles in areas that already had undergrounding, Mr Guthrie said.

“Making the change is a no-brainer.

We’d like to do this very smartly but it requires specific NZTA funding and they have a fairly large volume of applicants.

“We’re just in the queue.”

In terms of an investment in street lighting, $1.25 million was modest and in the life of a local authority a five to seven year pay-back period was relatively short term, he said.

The $1.25 million does not include any costs associated with lighting poles.

Ashburton has made a head start on the introduction of LED street lights, with the new heads already installed on a small number of urban poles.

The general feedback once the new lights were installed was that they were more pleasant in terms of light density, Mr Guthrie said.

A Greymouth woman had a remarkable escape yesterday morning when a large rock fell from hillside at the northern end of the Cobden Bridge, crushing the van while she was still sittting inside.

Jess Kersten said she and her partner, Nathan Coll, had only briefly pulled to the side of State Highway 6 to check the load on the trailer they were towing, when a rock came tumbling down and slammed into the passenger’s side.

“Nathan got out of the van to check the load, then he called out, ‘Jess watch out!’ I had no idea what was going on. Nathan came around to the driver’s side, opened the door, then ran away - I was just sitting there, then the rocks hit.”

She said Mr Coll heard a noise first and when he looked up he saw a large rock – about half the size of their van – rolling down the cliff towards them.

The rock split as it rumbled down the hillside.

Ms Kersten said she believed two had crashed on to the vehicle.

“Everything happened within a couple of seconds. I was extremely lucky. If I had been in a car it may have been a different story. Luckily for me, the van, was sturdy.”

Ms Kersten said she went into shock, but was relieved she was able to walk away unscathed.

“When you look at the van, it’s hard to believe I was not hurt,” she said.

In brief Correction Laying of a plaque to mark the location of a significant shrub at Hinds was funded by the Hinds History Group, with assistance from the Ashburton District Council’s parks and open spaces.

Incorrect information on the funding source was provided to the Guardian for its story on the plaque last week. An incorrect name spelling was also provided.

The elderly caretaker of Hinds School in the 1940s was Bert Annett, not Bert Anett.

Police cuts Wanaka will lose its police senior sergeant position and also a rural community constable job in a restructuring of the Otago rural policing area. Otago rural relieving area commander Inspector Olaf Jensen said the senior sergeant level “area prevention manager” position had been located in Wanaka since 2012-13. It was proposed the role be based in Queenstown in future, as part of the area headquarters team.

Wanaka’s only senior sergeant, Allan Grindell, holds the position and is also Wanaka sub-area commander. The rural community constable position to be disestablished is currently vacant.

■ ASHBURTON INCIDENT

Door ripped off taxi in melee

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@thweguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton taxi driver was left shaken on Saturday night after a crowd of late night pub patrons ripped a door off his taxi.

A call for a 3am pick up saw a taxi dispatched to the Print Room alley way. On arrival, the taxi was swamped by two groups of people who both tried to claim the ride home.

In the ensuing melee the taxi

van’s side door was ripped off and the potential passengers fled.

And that was a first for the service, co-owner of Ashburton Taxis, Graeme Bentley said – usually it’s patrons assaulting one another over a taxi ride rather than assaulting the taxi.

“It was an incident that came out of stupidity, rather than malice.

“We’re not really sure how it happened but the driver just

turned around and wallop, the door was gone. I’ve been doing this a while and it’s the first time something like this has happened.”

The upshot of the incident was a call to the police and a taxi that will be off the road for at least three weeks, at a time when business is traditionally extra busy, Mr Bentley said.

The offenders may have left the scene, but police have been notified and footage from CCTV

cameras will be searched to try to identify people who were part of the two groups, he said.

“We know it wasn’t anything against the vehicle or the driver, there were just too many people at one time trying to get in but unfortunately we cop the cost of this.

It would have been nice if someone had taken responsibility for what happened, but we’re hoping to catch the offenders.”

The incident was typical of

many that happened late at night, where alcohol-fuelled individuals were acting stupidly and someone else ended up paying the price for their behaviour, Mr Bentley said.

Incidents such as this made it a tough job finding drivers, particularly on a Friday and Saturday night.

The service is currently one driver down and has been looking for Saturday night staff for some time, he said.

Parking infringement message appears to be getting through The message that parking your car in town with an expired registration or without a warrant of fitness means a hefty fine, appears to be getting through.

Parking infringement income for the Ashburton District Council is dipping and environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson is attributing this to better motorist awareness.

“It’s clear they’ve learned not to bring their vehicles into town as this is the area that’s responsible for the drop in income,” she said.

In September the council earned $17,446 from revenue received from parking infringements paid while this had dropped to $12,318 in October.

Income from money lodged in park-

ing meters is steady, however, at just over $13,000 per month.

New ticket issuing units are now in use by traffic wardens and these come with an ability to provide motorists with expired registration and warrant of fitness warnings rather than immediate fines.

An expiry of less than 10 days will now prompt a warning.

Ashburton is the first South Island council to upgrade to the new devices which use cloud based technology.

They offer additional features such as infringement photos tied directly to the infringement notice number and these are instantly available to show a breach.

■ ASHBURTON DOMAIN 150TH

In brief

Sculpture auction nears

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Excitement is building leading into an auction of sculptures at the Ashburton Domain this weekend.

Ashburton Stone Carving Symposium organiser Brent Holley is pleased there has been hundreds of people milling through a temporary outdoor exhibition space at the domain, to view the 15 works.

They are the result of the two-week symposium, which was based at the domain earlier this month.

Mr Holley said already three people, from Ashburton and Methven, had registered for the auction.

Potential buyers could either register before the auction, or on the day.

Among bidders on at least one or two of the works will be the Ashburton District Council.

Domain-based open spaces manager David Askin has been eyeing up some of the carvings, and believes there are spaces in

Tourists overwhelmed Two Italian tourists who had their bikes stolen from their Rotorua campsite are overwhelmed with the community’s response to their plight. Giorgia Ricci, 28, and Chiara Vignoli, 23, have been given Rotorua accommodation, tours and experiences since their bikes, valued at about $15,000, were stolen just over a week ago.

The pair were on what was meant to be the adventure of a lifetime, cycling around New Zealand.

Bike Barn lent two bikes to Miss Ricci and Miss Vignoli to use while they’re in the area, and will sell them bikes at a discounted rate, manager Michael Mansell said.

Mr Askin has money previously allocated by the council for the domain’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

“There’s a heck of a lot I ac-

The auction is to be held at 1.30pm, with auctioneer Roger Letham, and will be part of a family day out at the domain on

Sunday to round off the 150th anniversary celebrations. It will feature markets, giant kite flying, a teddy bears’ picnic, bowling and croquet open days, fishing in the domain ponds and Bands in the Park.

While the community was calling for a change in the kerbside collection system used in Ashburton, and the council was happy to make a switch from plastic bags to wheelie bins, it opted to push introducing the new scheme out until July 2017. This would allow time for funding changes to become part of its long term plan.

When the new system had bedded in the council intended to extend it to properties in Fairton and Chertsey.

It is now planning to bring the convenience of kerbside collection to the two rural areas much sooner, extending the existing bag and bin system’s reach.

At last week’s service delivery committee meeting councillors agreed to bring forward the introduction of kerbside collection in the two villages to July 2015 and to consult on this through the long term plan as part of the introduction of a targeted district wide rate.

Louisa Mutu, 42, was the principal at Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Whangaroa before she was stood down on December 17 last year and officially fired less than a month later.

The New Zealand Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal’s decision released yesterday found Ms Mutu acted in an “unprofessional manner amounting to serious misconduct” and cancelled her teacher’s registration.

High-end hospital Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has approached the Northern Territory government with the offer of building a $175 million oncology and specialist hospital in Darwin to treat high-end patients. The facility would have about 20 beds, two of which could be reserved for local patients, medical adviser Michael Copeman told AAP. A spokesman for Ms Rinehart said it was hoped the hospital would become a regional leader in cancer treatment that would also attract overseas patients who could afford to seek its treatments.

Hogan-Howe said the threat from so-called “lone wolf ” attacks by individuals or small groups was causing “growing concern”, and warned their ability to act quickly left little time for the security services to intervene.

But he said the public could help by being more vigilant, particularly in crowded places and transport hubs where attacks are more likely to happen.

For a week starting on Monday, police will brief over 6000 people at 80 venues including schools and shopping centres across Britain to let

ordinary people and businesses know how they can help by identifying and reporting any suspicious behaviour they may see.

But he did not comment on a claim by an opposition Labour MP that as many as 2000 Britons are fighting overseas - four times the official estimate of 500.

Boy with toy gun shot by police Police in the US city of Cleveland have shot and killed a 12-year-old African American boy waving around what turned out to be a toy gun at a playground.

The shooting in Ohio comes amid high racial tensions in the US, with a grand jury set to announce whether a white policeman will be indicted for the fatal shooting in August of an unarmed black teenager in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson in Missouri.

Ohio was also the scene of another fatal shooting in August, when police responding to a 911 call shot and killed a black man, John Crawford, in a Walmart store while he was carrying a toy gun sold there.

In brief

UK terror plots foiled British police have foiled four or five suspected terror plots this year.

Scotland Yard commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe has told BBC television he’s launching a week-long campaign to enlist the public’s help in countering the threat.

“We’ve said on average over the last few years it’s been about one (plot) a year, but this year alone we think four or five,” Hogan-Howe said.

“Certainly we’ve seen a change to the momentum ... we’ve seen a change to the frequency and the seriousness of the types of plots that we’re looking at.”

As part of the new measures to counter extremism, Home Secretary Theresa May will announce that insurance companies will be banned from paying out terrorist ransoms.

Counter-terrorism investigations have led to 271 arrests this year, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said.

Most recently, three people were charged in London last week over an alleged plot which media reports said included a plan to behead somebody in Britain.

Rowley warned that the threat posed by extremists has “evolved” and that they are now home grown, as he launched a new awareness campaign to

fired at the boy twice, hitting him at least once in the stomach, after reports that he was pointing a gun at people.

The boy, identified by the county medical examiner’s office as Tamir Rice, died early

Audio released of a 911 call made to police records the call-

Both officers have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, as is standard in such cases, Cleveland police said.

“Upon arrival on scene, officers located the suspect and advised him to raise his hands,” the statement said. “The suspect did not comply with the officers’ orders and reached to his waistband for the gun.

“Shots were fired and the suspect was struck in the torso.”

In response to Saturday’s shooting and the one that killed Crawford in August, state MP Alicia Reese announced she would introduce a bill to require all toy guns to be brightly coloured or have prominent fluorescent stripes.

The shooting sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests and a nationwide debate about police tactics.

OUR VIEW

So who should pay?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

A

shburton’s rats of the sky should be knocked off their perch, but the district should not have to pay for it.

Feral pigeons are making a mess of some buildings in the central business district and they have even established their own guano ghetto in the Ashburton Playcentre.

They are plentiful and they are messy, but just like mice, rats and cockroaches, they are a pest best dealt to by those who are most affected. And they are better culled than coddled.

The council last week decided against a rates-funded pigeon cull to instead take a closer look with the chance of co-ordinating the business community’s eradication programme.

It was unclear whether the public purse should pay for a nuisance on anything other than public property and the door is now open for an equitable, mutually beneficial solution.

The council is well placed to ensure a cull is cost-effective, consistent and co-ordinated. It can consider solutions and prices, and take the package back to property owners who can pay for it.

This seems reasonable given the myriad regulations that require property owners to mitigate against hazards and health risks. And pigeons pose both in messy measure.

Their unsightly nests can clog vents and electrical equipment, and their property-fouling poo contains salmonella. They are creatures of habit so their nuisance won’t wane.

This has been the case at the Ashburton Playcentre, where a fence has been built around a protected douglas fir to keep the children away from the poo from dozens of pigeons.

The playcentre wants rid of them, but cannot afford a cull or to apply for consent to remove the tree. If property owners agree to fund a cull, they could also help the playcentre.

A cull could be controversial. Pigeon pro-lifers have variously blamed progress and buildings and some suggest the endangered gulls nesting at the Ashburton River are as big a problem.

But as opposed to the gulls, the pigeons are plentiful, noxious and have the legislative protection of rats. They should be dealt with the same way.

YOUR VIEW Pigeons I read that there is a problem with a pigeon menace (Town in a flap about pigeon menace, November 19; Council to take closer look, November 20).

Well, what do we do with a duck overburden? We shoot them and eat them. What is wrong with culling pigeons to a reasonable number?

I suggest a contractor to do the job safely under council control, if necessary, and put the carcases on the market. No need to waste good meat.

CRUMB

LETTERS pigeons taking over Ashburton, they’re idiots.

The amount of pigeons I see in the sky in Ashburton town – none, only on roof tops – but the amount of seagulls I see in the day is [mind blowing].

If [people] didn’t pull down the old abandoned buildings where pigeons used to live then the council wouldn’t have to worry about angry businessmen that can more-than-well pay for a cleaner to clean the bird poop off the roof.

But the council decides that a pigeon’s life is not worth more than a dog that poops on the street ... they don’t go saying let’s shoot the dogs. Do I think they should be killed – no, [they] should not.

Entrance Entering Ashburton, there is a pleasant space on the left of the highway, always a tasteful entrance to a very tidy city.

However, eight or 10 kilometres out the trees seem to have been vandalised and debris left, a fire hazard for many months in a rather shameful mess.

Who would authorise this – [LTNZ] or Ashburton [District] Council?

It seems mindless as there obviously was no timber of worth in it.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Will anyone ever beat Richie McCaw’s milestone?

No 75%

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

Yes 25%

A

few weeks back I had to give a presentation to the Environment Compliance conference on Getting on with the Job Environmentally and Economically.

I gave a few examples from my farming career of how that can be more difficult to do than it needs to be.

I used to think that I’d always been an environmentally aware farmer. I’d done the right things, such as keeping the cows out of the waterways and using a low application spreader.

But the formal rules the officials impose, which are meant to protect the environment, can be interpreted by the enforcers in a way which can have a perverse and quite opposite effect.

I’d like to tell a story to illustrate. Our family was looking to sell the old farm at Kaitoke, just north of Upper Hutt, to move up to the Manawatu.

Part of the grazing land was across the Pakuratahi River, one of the tributaries of the Hutt River.

Because we anticipated that it would not be long before there were rules against running cows through waterways, we decided the right thing was to subdivide the 50ha across the river. The subdivision was opposed and we ended up in the Environment Court.

In court we cited the probable future challenges posed by our old farm in relation to stock exclusion.

The judge, however, informed us that there was no rule against having cows in waterways. We were nonetheless permitted to subdivide. But it shows how the rules don’t always marry up with commonsense.

Day to day, in the relationship between a farmer and enforcer, there needs to be mutual respect, common-sense and be focused on outcomes not on process.

For instance, I like prior notification of an inspection on the property, so I can be there with them. Otherwise, when the inspector arrives I may be

busy trying to save a sick cow’s life. I may plan to spend time with family during the inspector’s working week, and, unlike the inspector, intend to work during the weekend.

The farmer should be there.

They need to learn what improvements that they should be thinking about, or changes they may consider to get a better outcome. I look at the effluent inspection as my way of staying ahead of the curve.

But many will say, “oh but if you give the farmers advanced warning they will hide all their naughtiness”.

Really, in two days do you think a farmer could magically make all traces of a spill disappear? When an effluent system goes pear-shaped, be it intentional or unintentional, you cannot clean it up with your handy-wipes.

A farm may be dangerous for an unaccompanied inspector.

For example, the quickest route from my pond to the spreader is down a steep track. It looks like you drive down it. If you value your life, you can’t.

I also feel that the whole unannounced inspection is part of a culture of, “let’s catch them in the act”. It is a culture of automatically assuming the

worst of everyone. One thing that pisses me off about New Zealand is we have this tendency to base everything on the lowest common denominator.

The point of any audit for compliance is to ensure that there is such compliance, not of “let’s catch ‘em out”.

A good example of this was couple of years back, when I had an inspection and at the end of it I got the paperwork.

Everything was all good, which, given a fellow dairy farmer in Feds had got exceptional, meant it wasn’t good enough for me.

I was asking the inspector what I needed to do to get to exceptional. Then he made the comment about how good it was that us farmer leaders were leading from the front “but we weren’t making it easy on them”.

That may be a bit of a Freudian slip on his behalf and he was a top bloke and nothing wrong with his approach at all, but that comment showed that there had been to a degree a culture focused on catching people, not that it was an excellent day if everyone was compliant.

So myself and James, the other farmer, were actually

making it exceptionally easy on that compliance officer.

Another point I focused on was around focusing on outcomes and not the process.

As consents based on nitrogen leaching begin to roll out this will be very important.

A recent case in the Waikato of a farmer who had failed to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s got my blood boiling.

Bas Nelis has a strong history of doing the right thing environmentally.

He decided to clean up a gully that was overgrown in scrub and weeds, and replant it in natives.

He is being prosecuted for that because he didn’t follow the right process.

The Waikato Regional Council has dropped a number of charges and is saying that it hopes the judge doesn’t fine him. Here’s a revolutionary idea, drop the “procesecution” and he won’t be fined. But unfortuntately there is a process that must be carried out, and sometimes the system seems more important at times than the outcome.

R18 entertainment axed

By Jamie Gray The Warehouse Group said it would take R18 video games – such as the violence-laden Grand Theft Auto – and DVDs off the shelves following a review of its range.

As a result the group would no longer be stocking R18 games and DVDs within The Warehouse and Noel Leeming stores and online, reinforcing its family-friendly brand values, it said.

The Warehouse chief executive Mark Powell said the business’ foundations were a result of “putting our people and communities at the core of what we do”.

“This decision to exit R18 games and DVDs has not been made lightly, but has been driven by increasing customer, community and team member feedback,” he said in a statement.

Low equity lending halted Kiwibank has halted lending to low equity mortgage borrowers after getting too close to restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank.

Loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) introduced by the central bank in October 2013 mean lenders must limit new loans to borrowers with less than 20 per cent equity to no more than 10 per cent of the total value of their loan books.

Kiwibank spokesman Bruce Thompson said the bank had stopped its low equity lending last week after nearing its own, self-imposed limit.

“As a consequence we’ve backed off from any lending with less than 20 per cent deposit until we get the book back into balance,” Thompson said.

“That will allow us to resume lending for low equity.”

In the meantime, he said Kiwibank was looking to grow its

overall loan book through competitive interest rates.

“As the overall book grows, then we can of course resume the lending for low equity,” Thompson said. “Hopefully that won’t take terribly long.”

He declined to disclose Kiwibank’s self-imposed limit on

low equity lending, saying it was commercially sensitive.

Pre-approved loans to borrowers with small deposits would still go ahead, he said.

The LVRs were introduced with the aim of cooling down a surging property market, particularly in Auckland.

China’s Lianhua Trading Group has gone to majority control of Invercargill meat processor, Prime Range Meats.

Lianhua, whose parent company Shenzen Lianhua Enterprise Development Co has its own retail network in China, said it had increased its holding to 75 per cent from 24.9

per cent. Prime Meats said the move meant it was “firmly hooked” into a secure supply chain in China through the parent, which has Haidilao Hot Pot Chain and McDonald’s as customers.

The move has been approved by the Overseas Investment Office (OIO), which was required because part of Prime Range Meats assets include 99.1ha of

land used for holding stock for the plant, some of which is sensitive wetlands and bush.

Prime Meats managing director Tony Forde, and shareholder, Southland motor racing personality Inky Tulloch, and associated parties have sold down after diluting their shareholdings earlier this year, through the issue of new shares.

Plan aiming for a pest-free NZ A plan to wipe out all rats, possums, stoats and other introduced predators, has been put on the table.

Scientists and businesses have joined forces with government agencies and environmental groups to launch the Predator Free New Zealand Trust, and hope to engage everyday New Zealanders in their quest.

Working with the Department of Conservation’s Community Conservation Partnerships Fund, the trust unveiled the first stage of its vision at the A Place to Live conference in Whanganui on Tuesday.

It revealed a map displaying predator control areas already undertaken by public and government agencies including OSPRI, DOC and regional councils, demonstrating the huge amount of work already taking place.

Stage two of the trust’s work focuses

on community and private efforts, which are under way or planned.

Chairman of Predator Free New Zealand Devon McLean said the secret weapon in this battle was the countless number of New Zealanders, mainly volunteers, already dedicating millions of hours to controlling predators.

However, he said, becoming predator free would not be an easy task and would require new innovation and real commitment from all New Zealanders.

“We believe the only way that New Zealand can be predator free is if all Kiwis, in every community, in every region, join in the fight.”

Gareth Morgan is one of the business leaders supporting the trust.

Eliminating predators was important to secure a future for our threatened native species, including our national emblem the kiwi, Dr Morgan said.

RURAL WOMEN Anama

The guest speaker at Anama’s October meeting was Helen Whiting, former Plunket and Karitane nurse.

Her life and the many years she spent in working with families in the district sparked many memories as members shared their knowledge and experiences with her.

In general business, president Jackie Ryan thanked those who helped with Meals on Wheels deliveries and those who had catered for the Mayfield Lions.

Lynnford

Members of the Lynnford branch met at Adeline’s residence. In the absence of our president, vice-president Barbara McFarlane took the chair.

It was indeed a pleasure to have Stuart Rattray who spoke of his recent double lung transplant. As he was having serious breathing problems, while having the six monthly visits to Auckland, he was diagnosed with serve lung problems; he explained the many tests that were undertaken, prior to him having the transplant.

The operation took approximately eight hours followed by three days of induced sleep to get his body working normally, and then two months stay in Auckland until his medications were all sorted. He explained blood types have to be compatible and he has to be careful what he eats and is not allowed any food with preservatives. With science today it is amazing what surgery can be performed. Stuart’s talk was very interesting and he was presented with a gift.

Joan was congratulated on her recent life membership and it was lovely to see Alisa back at our morning meeting.

Members were reminded of the provincial’s fundraiser; orders for the baking paper, tin foil and wrap, and were reminded that orders and money had to back by our November meeting.

Our next meeting will be a mystery day out; members will be advised closer

to the day of the arrangements.

Seafield

Members of the Seafield branch gathered at Lois Bradley’s home earlier this month.

In October RWNZ traditionally celebrates International Day of Rural Women. In keeping with this theme, members were very interested to learn about the work and activities of the Newcomers Network in Mid Canterbury.

John Hobbs of Safer Ashburton spoke about the many challenges faced by newcomers, particularly the feelings of isolation many experience both physically and socially.

He also outlined the ways in which residents and RWNZ members in particular could help support people settling into our district.

He expressed a hope that RWNZ may be able to work alongside Safer Ashburton and a network co-ordinator on suitable projects.

During the business meeting, members acknowledged the efforts of Margaret Lamont for knitting cuddly blankets for the Christchurch Hospital children’s cancer ward and Judith Grigg for knitting beautiful baby singlets and beanies for the Ashburton Maternity Hospital. The roster for Meals on Wheels was discused, as was the branch’s contribution of flowers for Ashburton Hospital’s Ward 6.

Winchmore

Members were transported to Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia for our October meeting, the sights, the colours and the landscape were described to us in detail

by Donald and Alison Shearer.

Once again they entertained us with some more of their very interesting and unusual travel adventures.

Their talk was accompanied by some lovely photos of animals, landscape and people. There was a very good attendance of members who were joined by a number of partners.

■ CATTLE TICK

Parasite outbreak linked to Canty An outbreak of a blood-borne parasite that causes anaemia in cattle has been linked to Canterbury.

DairyNZ issued a warning last week after the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) confirmed that a case of theileria had been confirmed on a West Coast farm.

MPI has concluded that a local population of infected ticks in Canterbury or the West Coast was responsible for transmitting infection to the 188-cow dairy herd.

The Guardian could not verify the farm or exact area the parasite came from.

DairyNZ technical veterinary advisor, Dr Nita Harding, says cattle are at risk when moved to areas where infected ticks are present. Likewise, if an infected animal is transported, it can spread infection to ticks in the new location, in turn spreading disease to uninfected animals.

“We are concerned that there may be infected tick populations in the South Island now. This latest case was linked to cows being grazed in the Canterbury area and then being brought back to the West Coast,” Dr Harding said.

“It’s important that farmers remain vigilant and monitor stock, particularly weaned calves at this time of year.”

Theileriosis is a disease caused by a species of theileria, a bloodborne parasite that only affects cattle and is primarily transmitted by ticks. A new strain of theileria orientalis called ikeda was first identified in Northland in late 2012. This strain has been associated with anaemia and death in cattle.

Cases of theileriosis are usu-

ally higher in autumn and spring.

However, at any time of year, if animals present with signs of anaemia, a veterinarian should be consulted.

“We are advising farmers to consider the risk of moving young stock to grazier or run-off properties where the level of tick activity and theileria may be greater than on the home property.”

Stock should be regularly checked for signs of anaemia. Tick treatments may be helpful for reducing the tick load and severity of infection, and farmers should

seek veterinary advice regarding the most appropriate treatment for their animals.

“This is a disease that can result in serious illness and death of cattle, and has affected some herds quite badly,” Dr Harding said.

Until recently theileria has been largely confined to the northern half of the North Island, however it has been steadily moving south.

MPI has reported around 116 new cases since September.

Advice on managing theileria is available on the DairyNZ website www.dairynz.co.nz/theileria

Farmers should regularly check stock for ticks and treat animals as necessary.

Rural crime on the rise

By Cherie Taylor

Rural crime is on the rise and probably “goes on more than farmers realise” but unless it is reported there is little that can be done to shut the farm gate on the problem, according to Federated Farmers.

The farming sector organisation says stock and petrol theft from farms was under reported and unless police had a true picture of what was going on then they won’t get the resources needed to combat the problem.

Earlier this year 100 sheep, with a value of about $9000 were stolen from an Overdale farm.

Senior constable Mike Jackson, from the Rakaia Police Station, said the rustlers appeared to have had a large truck at their disposal, and used a ramp which was already in the paddock to load the hoggets.

It was the second major stock theft in the district, where 60 calves were stolen from a nearby paddock four months earlier.

At the time Mr Jackson said reported stock thefts were not common in Mid Canterbury, but suspected when only one or two animals went missing farmers didn’t bother.

And it’s not only stock at risk, rural homes, vehicles and machinery are also fair game.

Wairarapa Federated Farmers president Jamie Falloon knows first-hand just what thieves can do. Twice last Christmas his home was burgled.

He too thinks rural theft is under reported.

If police don’t know what’s happening they can’t do anything to combat the issue, he said.

“It helps police build a picture. People need to report ... with stock theft, a farmer may be missing just one or two. They aren’t sure if they have been stolen or they have written them off as having died.

“But there is more going on than some farmers know about ... if it’s not reported to police then they won’t get more resources to target the problem. The police do a good job but they are under-resourced. Their hands are tied if they don’t know what is happening.”

“

or are too hard pressed to investigate,” he told the Meat and Fibre Council meeting in Wellington recently.

Federated Farmers surveyed members and farmers have said they don’t bother to report almost two-thirds of stock thefts, he said.

“But a lack of police interest, or their failure to solve a crime, isn’t the full story. Until rural people are prepared to report all the incidents, the police do not have an accurate knowledge of the size of the problem or where

Every time you don’t report a theft or vandalism on your property makes the next crime easier to commit ...

Some farmers have cameras installed to help identify those who target them, which helped also to identify culprits caught by police, but it was a real challenge catching and prosecuting those who targeted rural areas – especially very isolated properties.

Some farmers felt they placed themselves at risk confronting thieves and others had little faith those who were caught would be punished adequately, he said.

Federated Farmers Meat and Fibre Industry Group chairman Rick Powdrell said farmers weren’t diligent enough in reporting stock thefts from their properties.

“Unfortunately they might think the police aren’t interested

the bad hotspots are.

“Every time you don’t report a theft or vandalism on your property makes the next crime easier to commit for the same criminal or anyone else.”

He told delegates that the estimated $120 million loss to the industry each year from stock thefts should be a significant enough incentive to change and improve farmers’ reporting behaviour in this space.

Crimestoppers is proactive in helping rural communities, in recent years running the Stop Crime At The Gate campaign.

MARKET REPORT DAIRY

More wind and patchy rain this week as cooler temperatures and dry soils over the Canterbury area have slowed growth and grasses have rapidly gone to seed.

Rivers in South Canterbury are low and with the Opuha dam only 56 per cent full and Marlborough aquifers reaching 30-year lows, irrigation restrictions are imminent.

Peak milk flows are slowly fading and many managers are pre mow grazing to control seedheads and return pastures to a more palatable state.

The latest global dairytrade auction results again disappointed with powder prices falling by 5 per cent and are now at the lowest level since 2009, and expectations that China will soon re-enter the market are fading.

LAMB

Mixed price signals from lamb processors as the slow start to the season has increased competition for stock but with a flat frozen market buyers are cautious in their pricing.

Early dryland flocks are drafting steadily and with an increasing supply of new season lambs, prime hoggets have rapidly eased in value at saleyards.

WOOL

A small South Island wool sale sold at stronger levels than the last week’s NI sale although merino prices eased to 2009 levels following similar trends seen at the Melbourne offering.

Mid micron wools did lift between 1-6 per cent to near their yearly indicator high and crossbred wools also firmed to maintain their recent settled price levels.

NZ Yarns has finalised the purchase of Christchurch Yarns as Elders Wools and independent investors and growers secured this company to add to its integrated wool business.

BEEF

Southern export schedules held this week but fell back in the north, are maybe signs that the recent frantic peak has been reached and some buyers hold back as the anticipated increase in supply builds.

Increased numbers of prime cattle are being offered at saleyards as farmers look to cash in on the beef boom but dairy bull weaner prices at the Tinwald IHC sale were behind recent NI sale levels.

DEER

More big drops in venison schedules as prices adjust to the frozen market but processors have been happy with chilled sales that even extended to air freight business.

Main cut velvet has now nearly finished and younger animals are being harvested followed by valuable second growth and spiker, grown for the Chinese market.

Care of elderly was left to families

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

T

he multi-generational groups in these photos are occasions many people don’t get much opportunity to capture these days as families spread around the country, or even the world.

Once, however, grandparents and even older relations lived nearby or with families.

It could be a real asset having a grandparent, especially a grandmother, on hand to help.

As grandparents became ill the entire family could help with their care. It was often a positive situation where everyone won.

Originally, what to do with the elderly wasn’t really considered by New Zealand governments.

As with other needy folk – such as the sick and unemployed – it was assumed that most would have a close family member who would volunteer to look after them.

Sometimes this wasn’t the case. As early as 1846 the government passed the Destitute Persons Act. This act and its many amendments made family members legally responsible for their needy relations.

While early acts defined those relations as immediate – children, parents – by the 1890s the degree of proximity extended to grandparents, cousins and even step-siblings. This could see one person liable for the care of a number of people.

No-one really liked these acts.

Naturally, the people who were forced to support people they may not really know, or like, were unhappy; but so too were the recipients of the care.

People who asked for support from organisations such as charitable aid boards were told if they didn’t give the contact details of their next of kin they would get nothing. Often applications were denied with the brief comment “has a daughter”. Sometimes the poor were shipped off to live with relations, regardless of what they wanted, or indeed if the family wanted them.

It could get very messy. One local example was a gentleman who first came to the authorities’ notice when he tried to kill himself in Christchurch.

He had left his home in Ashburton for Christchurch. There, he found work with a kindly man who supported him with food and free board.

Sadly he fell into bad company, moved in with a woman and drank what money he had.

He ended up in a hovel with only a horse cover for warmth.

Desperate, he asked the Christchurch board if he could be accommodated in their home and when they didn’t act imme-

diately, he tried to kill himself.

The authorities told his son in Ashburton that he needed to look after him.

Such was the son’s frustration that he wrote to the Guardian, and said he too was poor but he would have his father live with him, but would not give him money as he would only drink it.

The board said the father couldn’t be admitted to the Old Men’s Home (which was situated in Ashburton) as he seemed

strong and healthy and should be able to find work (he was 79).

Presumably he did move in with his son’s family as the old man died the following year and his burial plot was paid for by his son.

We have no idea how the family coped being trapped together because of the Destitute Persons Act, but one imagines they wouldn’t have posed for such wholesome photos as the ones above.

The Olympic title was in the doubles with Stan Wawrinka in Beijing in 2008, so he has yet to match Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi as the only men to have won all four Grand Slam titles, Olympic singles gold and the Davis Cup during the course of their careers. But it’s still an astonishing record for a player many consider to be the greatest of all time. - AFP

Last-gasp win for Spurs Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen scored a last-minute winner as Tottenham Hotspur snatched a 2-1 victory over 10-man Hull City yesterday in the English Premier League. Former Spurs midfielder Jake Livermore gave Hull an early lead at the KC Stadium, but the hosts lost their way after Gaston Ramirez was sent off in the 50th minute for lashing out at Jan Vertonghen. Harry Kane equalised just after the hour before Eriksen drove home the winning goal to lift Mauricio Pochettino’s side into the top half of the table.

Backlash expected Brisbane Roar managing director Sean Dobson says he expects a fan backlash over the A-League club’s poor handling of coach Mike Mulvey’s sacking. A clearly angry Dobson said the club would investigate how news that Mulvey had been axed reached the media before the championship-winning coach knew of his fate on Sunday. Dobson said he also understood why fans would be angry and frustrated as he officially unveiled Former Dutch international Frans Thijssen as interim coach for the rest of the season. “Obviously we had a leak, we had a breach and we are investigating that breach. It is not something we take lightly.” - AAP

New boys impress

1st XI in last-over thriller

The Ashburton College 1st XI had a big win to finish their double header weekend of secondary school cricket.

They had the first day of a two-day game against Christchurch Boys’ High School 3rd XI in the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Competition on Saturday before winning game two of a three match grading series with Timaru Boys’ High School with three balls to spare.

Having lost the opening game of the series to determine which team plays in the higher grade when the Canterbury Secondary School competition re-starts in the New Year, College needed to secure the win to send the series to a decider and came up with a win in the final over.

College started the weekend with an improved effort with the bat to be in a strong position hosting Christchurch Boys’ High School 3rd XI. They made 180 all out in their first innings with 56 from Michael Burton and 50 from Andrew Jopson, they restricting Boys’ High to 80/4 for a lead

An inexperienced Mid Canterbury Sevens team performed well at the Canterbury International Sevens tournament on Saturday.

The Mark Cousins-coached squad featured several new players in their first hit out of the summer.

Todd Houston, Hush Tohovaka, Heartland representative Sam Watt, and secondary school players Jesse Houston (Christchurch Boys’ High School) and Xavier Bartlett (Ashburton College) all played well against topclass opposition.

Corey Sinclair, Richard Burns and Seta Koroitamana were standout players on the day as Mid Canterbury builds their preparations towards the South Island tournament on December 13 in Timaru.

From there the top teams will advance to the nationals in Rotorua in January.

Mid Canterbury finished fourth in the South Island last year to qualify for nationals - one of only two Heartland teams to attend the nationals.

of 100 as they chased their first win in the two day competition.

Then on Sunday College sent Timaru into bat and had the visitors 103/7 before the tail wagged to post 134/8. Sam Hall was the pick of the bowlers with 3/16 off his 10 overs.

College were in early trouble

at 30/3 in the 13th over when Liam O’Connor steadied the ship with 19 until he was dismissed at 69/5, with College still 65 shy of their target and 20 overs left.

Hall then led the charge with Gareth Hunt providing support at the other end in the

match-winning 51-run stand.

Hunt hit the winning runs off the third ball of the over and finished 18 not out, with Hall unbeaten on 40 in a man of the match performance.

College will meet Timaru again in December for the third and final match.

Lydia’s biggest payday

BY CAMERON MCMILLAN It may not be an elusive first major victory but it was a major payday for Lydia Ko. The 17-year-old took home US$1.5 million (NZ$1.9m) after a victory at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship yesterday - almost doubling

her career prize money total.

The playoff win at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, earned the world number three US$500,000 (NZ$634,000) and also clinched the US$1m season-long Race to the CME Globe where points are accumulated from every tournament.

Lydia Ko poses with the Race to the CME Globe on the left, and CME Group Tour Championship trophy, right, while sitting on the $1m prize money from the Globe Trophy win yesterday.

Ko beat Spain’s Carlota Ciganda on the fourth playoff hole after Paraguay’s Julieta Granada dropped out of the playoff on the second hole.

Ciganda, who missed a sixfooter on the third playoff hole for the title, sent her second shot into the rough on the fourth trip down the 18th.

Ko calmly two-putted to finish the hour-long playoff.

The victory is Ko’s third of the year and caps off a remarkable maiden season on the LPGA Tour after earlier this month becoming the youngest player to win the rookie of the year award.

Along with three titles the

teenager has had two runner-up finishes and nine additional top 10s.

The only thing she didn’t tick off this year was a major tournament win, finishing third at the LPGA Championship and eighth at The Evian Championship.

Top weekend on the superbike track for Bailie

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s Bailie Perriton had a superb finish to the Australian Superbike Championships, finishing second for the weekend with a lap record to boot for an overall third place finish in the Ninja 300 Championship on Sunday.

It was a scorching-hot weekend at the Sydney Motorpsort

Park and the 16-year-old was running hot on the track, with his highlight setting the lap record despite having a 2km/h slower top speed than his rivals “proving it’s all about corner speed”.

Perriton pushed series-leading Australians Kyle Buckley and Brendan Demmery hard in the opening race, spending much of the race in second as

Hamilton makes history in F1 P16

the trio jostled for the front.

There was less than half a second between the trio on the final lap, and it was anyone’s race heading to the finish line.

Buckley claimed the narrowest of wins, with Demmery moving into second on the line and Perriton having to settle for third.

The second race was much like the first, and again it came

down to a photo finish on the line where Demmery came out on top, Buckley second and Perriton third half a second behind.

The third race effectively became the battle for the championship between Demmery and Buckley, with the pair battling all the way to the finish line.

Demmery took the line for the win and the Championship

title - while Buckley finished in second place but was disqualified for drifting into Demmery’s path on the home straight, promoting Perriton into second to finish third overall for the series.

In Saturday’s AFX Series racing he was second in race one before two fourth placings to finish third overall in the AFX series.
