Rat invasion

10 combos to give away P13

A local retailer is battling a rat infestation, that is forcing it to pull products from its shelves.

A spokeswoman for The Warehouse has confirmed it had a rat infestation issue, but is working with the Ashburton District Council to eradicate the problem.

In the interim, the spokeswoman said The Warehouse had taken proactive measures to protect its customers and staff. This involved removing some product ranges, including all human and pet food and indoor plants, from the shelves.

The infestation is believed to have come after a nearby building on the old EA Networks site was demolished.

This work began in January with all buildings on the two-and-a-half hectare site, bar the administration building that fronts Kermode Street and the large substation, demolished as they fell short of new building code standards.

Gordon Guthrie The majority of work was completed

by March and completely finished off by May. EA Networks has a major sub-station close to The Warehouse and the compa-

ny’s operations manager Jeremy Adamson said a heavy eradication programme was maintained when it came to vermin as it had to protect its sub-stations.

It installed sound-generating machinery and spread poison in its sub-stations to keep rats away.

“We have an obligation to keep the power on and we don’t want a rat getting in and causing an outage,” Mr Adamson said.

Rats within EA Networks’ former Kermode Street buildings, however, were few and far between.

EA Networks chief executive Gordon Guthrie said he was not aware of a vermin problem at the old site.

“There was the odd mouse found under the old admin building at the start of winter but that was it, nothing unusual,” Mr Guthrie said.

Nearby businesses NZ Sock Company, EA Networks Centre and Cates Grain and Seed said they had not had a problem with vermin since the demolition.

McCaw spotting Recently retired All Blacks captain Richie McCaw created a stir around Tauranga after being spotted at the gym and a local cafe. McCaw trained at Aspire Health and Sports in Bethlehem on Monday morning before stopping for a coffee with girlfriend Gemma Flynn at Tauranga’s Love Rosie and visiting Tauranga Intermediate. Both McCaw and Flynn, a Black Sticks player, happily posed for photos when approached by fans.

One such fan was Liam Morrison, who celebrated his 17th birthday on Monday. “I was working out at Aspire, me and a group of people were training. Then we saw him walk in the door and we were like, ‘we should get a photo with him’, so we went and got one. I was kind of star-struck.”

Music for Cats Kickstarter almost at 300k

Newsroom Call 03 307-7958

A purr-fect crowd-funding campaign to produce an album of music for cats has been swamped with cash. The Meow Mix Kickstarter campaign has raised almost $NZ 307,000. The whopping figure is 10 times more than its original goal. The Music for Cats album, created by cellist and composer David Teie and a team of animal scientists, is scientifically proven to improve the well-being of felines. Teie’s theory behind the music is that all animals hear in different ways with their taste in tunes based on what they hear in the womb and their first few weeks of bonding with their mother.

Kiwi group and Jo Lo

Streep breaks down Oscar winner Meryl Streep has broken down in tears while delivering a speech about her late friend Christopher Reeve at a charity gala in New York City. During the gala, Streep took to the podium to make a speech to remember the late Superman actor, who died in 2004 at the age of 52 a decade after he was left paralysed following a horse riding accident. The actress broke down in tears as she remembered Reeve and his wife Dana, who died in 2006, two years after her husband, following a battle with cancer. Streep recalled a story about a sports game involving her son Henry and Reeve’s boy Matthew: “My son Henry, who is Matthew Reeve’s age exactly, was six ...

He complained in the car afterward, ‘Mom, it wasn’t fair ... That little boy had Superman on his team.” Streep attended the glitzy event at the Cipriani Wall Street venue in the Big Apple last week to raise funds for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

A talented Kiwi dance group got up-close and personal as Jennifer Lopez opened the American Music Awards dancing to a mash-up of this year’s chart-topping hits. The longtime popstar was clad in a skin-tight body-suit and danced to hits including Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood, Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda and Drake’s Hotline Bling. Jo Lo’s dance was choreographed

by Auckland hip-hop dancer Parris Goebel and five women from world hip-hop dance champions ReQuest New Zealand had the opportunity to dance alongside her. After the performance, the 23-year-old Kiwi choreographer wrote on Facebook “Such a privilege to work on JL’s opening number for the AMA’s and to have 5 of my girls & Lance perform was truly a blessing...”.

■ SECOND ASHBURTON BRIDGE

Congestion may force issue By sue NewMaN

Mr McCann said. The bridge will be built with significant financial input from the transport agency as part of its commitment to create a quality journey experience for motorists on state highways.

“They understand the impact it’s having through town and the second bridge would obviously help this,” he said.

While the new bridge had an estimated completion date of 2026, Mr McCann said the council had identified the 20192020 year for preliminary design work. It had acquired most of the land needed for the bridge route which will travel from Chalmers Avenue then across a new road on rural land east of Tinwald.

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s second urban bridge across the Ashburton River might come sooner than planners originally anticipated, an Ashburton District Council manager says.

Service delivery group manager Neil McCann said that at a recent meeting between local authority representatives and the New Zealand Transport Agency, concerns about traffic congestion through Ashburton were raised.

It was very clear it has become a pinch point on State Highway One and the complaints about congestion were being made by people from outside our district,

The second bridge route has never won total community support, however, with past mayor Geoff Geering saying the second bridge on Chalmers Avenue would not solve traffic problems through Ashburton.

The problem was caused by the increase in both numbers and the size of heavy vehicles using the highway. Those vehicles need to be moved out of town, he said.

“The big question in my mind, is how much longer do we need to have State Highway One running through the centre of town?”

He’s long been a supporter of a by-pass road for heavy traffic but

said it had always been dropped because of concern that creating a route around town would hurt retail business.

“When the state highway was moved from East Street to West Street the retailers took a very negative view of this and said Ashburton would become a ghost town.”

Clearly that didn’t happen and it wouldn’t happen if a heavy traffic by-pass was put in place, he said.

A by-pass was included in the range of options for a second bridge across the Ashburton River but was dropped when the final options were put on the table.

Young dancers ready to face the examiner By susaN saNdys

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury dancers are dancing more than ever this week as they practice for their end-of-year exams.

About 250 DanceWorx pupils aged from four to 18 are undergoing the exams this week at the Balmoral Hall.

DanceWorx director Charmaine Quaid said the exams represented a culmination of one year’s dance education, and styles included classical ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and hip hop.

The students were performing before examiner Rhondda McGlinchy from the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance, in groups. They performed routines throughout segments lasting from 40 to 70 minutes, and their resultant marks could range from having not passed to receiving honours with distinction.

“I don’t think I have ever in 45 years had anyone go in who doesn’t try their best,” Miss Quaid said.

Dancers needed to have a passion for the craft.

“It’s really the desire to do it, as well as you want to do it, and be prepared to get to the best that you can be.”

The exams were being held over six days this week, and for some older students coincided with NCEA exams.

Lake Hood group seeks more water

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Low flows in the Ashburton River last summer seriously impacted on water quality in Lake Hood.

As a result the lake’s management group, the Lake Extension Trust, has written to the Ashburton Zone Committee signalling its intent to apply to alter its water take consents.

The trust currently holds two Environment Canterbury-issued consents which govern the taking of water from the river to fill, flush and maintain water quality in the recreational lake.

These consents specify the flow restrictions for the water take based on a flow recorder at the State Highway One bridge.

During periods of low flow limits kick in raising the retention time of water in the lake and reducing water levels.

Information presented to the zone committee said last summer no intake was available and the lake level dropped by 70 centimetres, rendering it unfit for recreational purposes for several weeks.

In order to prevent the same problem developing this year, the trust proposes to apply for a temporary three-year non-consumptive water take as a trial.

The proposed take would affect a reach of about three kilometres in the Lower Ashburton River.

The current consents allow for filling and maintaining water levels in the lake, whereas the proposed non-consumptive take would be accompanied by a discharge condition equal to the new intake.

Environment Canterbury commissioner David Caygill said it would be inappropriate for the zone committee to start offering advice to the council but individual members could make comment if the proposal goes to public consultation.

Zone committee member Stuart Wilson expressed concerns that the quality of water leaving the lake would be lower than when it went in. Retiring zone committee member Sheryl Stivens said farmers below Lake Hood were already in serious strife with stock water.

■ VARIETY KIWI KID SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMME

In brief

Helping out a kid in need

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Nearly 20 Ashburton children in need are benefiting from the generosity of strangers.

A national charity, Variety, which helps New Zealand’s sick, disabled and disadvantaged children has set up a programme to help sponsor children in need.

According to statistics provided by Variety, one in four Kiwi

kids live in depravation.

To help these children out people can choose to donate through the Variety Kiwi Kid Sponsorship programme.

The programme works alongside schools, community agencies and healthcare professionals who refer children from around the country in urgent need of help, the charity then matches children with sponsors.

Variety spokeswoman Miriam Shaw said in total there are 19 sponsored children living within the Ashburton township.

This year alone, 10 of those children have used part of their sponsorship to pay for school camps or trips, while a further two have used their sponsorship to help pay for extra-curricular activities.

All of the children have also

Car through window

been able to purchase basic essentials including clothing and bedding, as well as covering school costs, Ms Shaw said.

Within Canterbury more than 300 children are sponsored and nationally there are more than 2000, however that is just a drop in the bucket.

To find out more information or to sponsor a child people can head to www.variety.org.nz.

■ ASHBURTON REST HOMES

Christmas cheer is here

Trinity College exams Ashburton’s Big Little Theatre Company students have received some top marks in this year’s Trinity College exams, with the oldest and youngest actors achieving high distinctions. The drama work they presented ranged from pieces from the company’s 2015 production of Blood Brothers, through to Shakespeare and performing their own devised works based on Shakespeare. Of the 22 entries, 17 achieved 93 per cent or more with seven of those 17 achieving 98 per cent.

Christmas in the Park A story in yesterday’s Guardian about this year’s Mega Mitre 10 Christmas in the Park had the date of the event omitted. The event will be held on Saturday, December 12, starting at 7pm with a fireworks display at 10pm. The venue is the Ashburton Domain Oval and entry is free.

Netherby School’s kapa haka and Pasifika groups put on an energetic performance for residents of Ashburton’s rest homes yesterday.

The groups performed at the annual inter-rest home Christmas function, held at the Sinclair Centre.

Over 100 residents from Rosebank, Park Street Day Care, Princes Court, Methven House, Coldstream House and Terrace View were in attendance.

be by themselves,” Mrs Allott said.

Many of those who traditionally attended were single people who would otherwise spend the day on their own, but there were also families, and last year young children were among the mix.

Ashburton chef Danny Lysaght would be preparing

the traditional Christmas Day meals, with ingredients being donated by a range of Ashburton and other businesses.

Mr Lysaght would be among more than 40 volunteers involved, with preparations beginning on Christmas Eve. Performances would be held between courses, and Santa would make a visit.

Mrs Allott and her son Ross would be playing Christmas carols, and Mrs Allott was seeking fellow performers.

Anyone wishing to volunteer on the day or perform could get further information by phoning Mrs Allott on 308-0333.

People interested in attending the lunch are invited to register by mid-December.

Jeff Bradley and the Delta Swing will play a swing concert, Thank God It’s Friday, 7pm to 8.30pm at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church this Friday. Entry will be by gold coin donation. Mr Bradley, of Ashburton, said he was starting the concerts to run every second Friday, breaking over the Christmas period, in order to offer good swing music in a concert setting. “It’s just something new for Ashburton,” Mr Bradley said.

Mr Bradley, playing the clarinet, would be accompanied by Robert Zipfel (Zippy) on drums, Bruce Horton on electric bass, and Geordie Robinson on electric guitar.

Ambulance calls Ashburton’s St John Ambulance travelled a total of 2244 kilometres last week, attending 78 calls. Forty of the calls were urgent while 56 were to medical incidents.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Bid to raise student achievement

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Eleven Ashburton schools are among another 444 around the country to have formed themselves into Communities of Learning.

This government initiative was established to enable schools to work together to raise student achievement.

It was announced last Wednesday that Ashburton Borough School, Ashburton Christian School, Ashburton College, Ashburton Intermediate School, Ashburton Netherby School,

Fairton School, Hampstead School, Longbeach School, St Joseph’s School, Tinwald School and Wakanui School would form one of 54 new Communities of Learning.

Wakanui School principal Hilary Boyce said being small her school would benefit because it could learn from others as well as share its experiences.

“The aim is collaboration and to share knowledge and expertise amongst a group of schools.

“I think it’s hugely exciting.

“It will be something new and something that I think will help

the greater good of education.”

To become a Communities of Learning cluster the schools had to prove they could work collaboratively together and that they were committed to the programme before they were approved, she said.

“The next step is that we start to work out how we are going to come up with some of our goals.”

Another cluster of schools in Mid Canterbury was approved in December 2014 and had been working together since then.

They included Mount Hutt

College, Lauriston School, Methven Primary School, Mt Somers Springburn School, Our Lady of the Snows School and Mayfield School.

Mt Somers Springburn School principal Brent Gray said the six schools had been meeting regularly to formulate their goals and decide what they wanted to focus on.

“We’re still in the early stages.”

The process was long but it would help provide learning opportunities for staff and students.

The teachers at Mt Somers

Springburn School would get professional development that they might have struggled to get otherwise because of their size, Mr Gray said.

“I’m excited by the opportunities it’s going to provide me as a professional leader and I’m excited for the possibilities for students and staff.”

The total number of schools involved in the initiative nationally is now 793.

Communities of Learning are funded through the government’s $359 million Investing in Educational Success initiative.

■ VARIETY THEATRE ASHBURTON

Would-be stars sought for production of Oliver

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@thegauRdian.co.nz

Variety Theatre Ashburton is seeking actors and singers from the age of eight upwards at pre-audition workshops today.

The theatre company is preparing to stage Oliver as its 2016 production, in May next year.

A cast of about 50 is required, about half children and half adults.

The main role of Oliver will need to be a boy who can sing and act, most likely eight to 14 years old. The other main child role of The Artful Dodger is likely to be filled by an older boy.

Main adult roles are Fagan, Bill Sykes and Nancy.

Vice president Kim Vessey said she was confident the company would fill the high number of roles required for the show.

Other child roles included for a gang of thieves, and children in a workhouse, requiring about 24 youngsters.

She said they would need to have a “tuneful” singing capacity, be co-ordinated and able to take direction.

“We have got a lot of talent in Ashburton, I don’t see there being a problem, we also want plenty of adults,” Mrs Vessey said.

The directing team for the show is director Alice Sollis, vocal director Matt van den Yssel, choreographer Jessie Thomson and orchestral director Fiona Maginness.

Mr van den Yssel, 24, and Miss Thomson, 18, were making their first foray into the directing team, having traditionally been on stage in Variety Theatre Ashburton productions.

Mr van den Yssel is a NASDA graduate who, among other

roles, has played the main part of Chris in Miss Saigon, while Miss Thomson has just completed Year 13 at Ashburton College, has performed in many previous productions and is a DanceWorx Ashburton teacher.

The first pre-audition workshops are today, with further workshops on Wednesday next week.

Children are at 6.30pm and adults 7.40pm, at the Celtic Rugby Clubrooms on Keenans Road.

Auditions will be held on December 5.

Right - Oliver vocal director Matt van den Yssel and choreographer Jessie Thomson are first-time members of Variety Theatre Ashburton’s directing team.

■ OPINION

Law specialist calls for rethink Criminal law specialist Professor Chris Gallavin has called for Scott Watson to be released from prison or for his case to be reheard in the aftermath of Watson’s North & South magazine interview with journalist Mike White.

“Sentenced to life imprisonment for the double murder of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in 1998, Scott Watson has served more than 16 years in prison for a crime he says he not only did not commit, but that he never met or saw the victims on the night in question.

“Although nothing particularly new has come to light this week, the raised public awareness from Mr Watson’s published interview reminds New Zealand that we have someone in prison who is there as a result of an unsound trial.

“The published comments of retired Detective [John] Rae just fill me with further dread about the conviction. I really do not give any weight to what the retired detective says he ‘believes implicitly’. To then call in aid the fact that Watson has only now spoken out and was in the detective’s words ‘evasive’ when interviewed in 1998 illustrates what may have

been classed then as good policing, but what we now know as dangerous predetermination.

“The retired detective goes so far as to state that if he [Watson] had nothing to hide, why was he evasive? Such an attitude is incredible. Mr Watson’s previous interactions with the police – like that of many New Zealanders – may have made him very apprehensive about talking to them.

“What’s more, we have a presumption of innocence in New Zealand, and it is for the Crown to prove its case without recourse to trickery. This is the theme of Keith Hunter’s book Trial by Trickery, in which the flaws of the Watson case are explained in depth.

Evasive answers to questions by police are not proof of a double homicide.

“Whether one believes Mr Watson’s trial to be a case of police manipulation or not, the fact remains that his conviction now rests on unsound evidence after key witnesses changed their story.

It is not just that witnesses have questioned their own evidence given at trial in 1998, it’s also concerning some have said they felt pressured by police when giving their statements.

Scott Watson “What’s particularly disappointing is that the Crown in such cases seems to dogmatically adhere to the line that ‘we did nothing wrong’ and therefore that the conviction was sound. I’m not sure what they think will happen.

“It seems to me that it takes incredible humility and a real and honest commitment to the rule of law for authorities to say, ‘hey, with the benefit of hindsight

some things in this investigation could have been done much better’.

“The public of New Zealand – and ultimately those prisoners in Watson’s situation – will think more highly of police and the office of the Solicitor-General if there was a culture of ownership and not one of passing the buck as sometimes seems to exist in these cases.

“Take Teina Pora for example. It was clear to the entire nation that Pora had been the subject of a miscarriage – even retired police officers were uncomfortable with his conviction – yet there existed a them-and-us mentality within the Crown that led to the worst, not the best, side of the adversarial system coming out.

“The legal fraternity needs to realise that while the adversarial style might be profitable within the court room, cases and the interests of justice are better advanced through co-operation, openness and a de-politicisation of high-profile cases.

“There are also lessons for the public. With the pressure placed upon police to ‘find their man’ it is no wonder that on occasion ‘blue vision’ occurs. “’Blue vision’ was coined by Dr Jarrod Gilbert and refers to the tendency of the police to sometimes work back from a pre-determined outcome rather than to work toward a theory from the evidence gathered.”

OUR VIEW

How much growth is good growth?

Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

F

or years the Ashburton District has suffered because it had an almost static popula-

tion.

That’s all changed. Where once employers struggled to find the people they needed to fill job vacancies, thanks to a more open immigration policy, we’re a community that’s growing, a community where most employers can now find the staff they need.

Our population is growing at one of the fastest rates in New Zealand and that has to be good for our economy. On the back of this we’ve become a multi-cultural society that makes us a much more interesting place to live than the one dimensional community we were a generation or two ago.

Growth, however, does not come without challenges. And these come in many forms – housing, infrastructure, social support systems and community facilities.

While population growth has still not overtaken available jobs, there is always the risk that if our economy slows, if business owners stop growing their businesses then we could find ourselves in the difficult situation of having growing unemployment. Currently there’s no sign of that happening.

It’s in the area of housing that need is in danger of exceeding supply, specifically affordable supply.

It’s no longer uncommon to hear stories of rentals that are almost as high as those charged in Christchurch, rentals that put huge pressure on family incomes.

Growth is also putting pressure on schools with many of ours now in a serious state of overcrowding.

Rolls grow quickly on the back of population growth, but the Ministry of Education does not respond with the same speed and that’s forcing schools to turn any spare space – including in one case an old dental clinic – into classrooms.

Our growing population is largely made up of families and in that we’re blessed, but more families means pressure across all services – more classrooms, more teachers and better access to health care.

It’s all very well for the government to call a growing population a sign of a successful country; the challenge is for that same government to come up with the cash that’s needed to ensure growth in facilities and services keeps pace.

YOUR VIEW Youth forum I had the privilege of attending the Young Persons Forum 2015.

The ideas presented by the young people of our community on the Ashburton Library was fantastic.

What a great forum, I do hope these ideas are listened to.

Thanks to the people who organised this event.

Volunteers Recently two local groups held functions at which the work of their volunteers was recognised.

At one function a young person who has been appointed to a governance role within her organisation delivered a thoughtful address giving those present every reason to feel confident our future is in good hands.

Those attending the other gathering were treated to wonderful entertainment provided

by performers of various ages which was a reminder we have some very talented people in our midst.

The future of our district relies on our youth - they are our future.

Developing our youth L

ast month I discussed how our government is well aware of the strong part Mid Canterbury had played in New Zealand’s economic performance over the past 10 years.

It is you; the people of Mid Canterbury who made this happen.

The people who establish businesses and employ people, the employees who use their skills and efforts to make those businesses successful and the people in the many organisations who support those people, the schools, hospitals medical centres etc.

You deserve to congratulate yourselves for the contribution you have made to make Mid Canterbury a leading district in New Zealand.

Businesses and communities are simply groups of people and the key group of people who will drive Mid Canterbury’s future social and economic prosperity is its youth. The future of this district relies on them.

We live in a time when the western world faces an ageing population.

As a result competition for the reduced numbers of youth entering our workforce is increasing.

That competition isn’t only local,

Rob Brawley

GROWING MID CANTY

youth experts warn us that we will face increasing competition for our skilled youth from other parts of the country and particularly, from overseas.

I would like you to think about how we can help open our youth’s minds to the career opportunities available right here in Mid Canterbury.

We can’t blame our youth, schools or parents if they overlook career opportunities they aren’t aware of, because “they don’t know what they don’t know”.

Grow Mid Canterbury, with valuable support from our schools and businesses, is involved in a range of activities to help develop and train our young people and help them transition into the workforce.

This includes: ■ Trades Experience Course with Ashburton College.

Developed by GMC with Ashburton College to prepare stu-

dents for apprenticeships and career pathways in trades.

GMC and Ashburton College run this program together. It is now in its 10th year.

■ Gateway Program with Ashburton College. A national work experience programme that operates as a pathway to work or further education. Students can focus on the industry and occupation of their choice to gain work experience and national qualifications. GMC runs this programme for Ashburton College ■ Development of Pathways into agricultural careers with Mount Hutt College and Ashburton College.

■ A programme that works with youth who are not in employment, education or training or who are at risk of not being in employment, education or training. This is a national funded by MSD. GMC runs this contract in Mid Canterbury.

These programmes have achieved strong outcomes but we are aware that we need to cast our net wider to engage youth who sit outside these programmes.

They could benefit from

learning about the employment opportunities available in their own community, including the chance to build their own business in the future.

Again ‘they don’t know what they don’t know’.

One suggestion we have identified that could help our youth and their parents understand the range of career opportunities available locally could be a form of career fair that could even include ‘speed dating’.

Where, for example youth and their parents have an opportunity to talk briefly to a number of local people in different careers and different industries, over an evening or daytime session.

They could follow up and further research the careers that really interest them.

To make this happen we need to work with businesses and, importantly, the younger people working in those businesses, who would like to help.

We know that our youth relate better to the exciting career experiences of people closer to them in age.

Can you help? If so we would like to hear from you.

In brief

■ UNITED STATES

World-wide travel alert The United States issued a worldwide travel alert yesterday warning American citizens of “increased terrorist threats” in the wake of the Paris attacks.

A massive manhunt is underway in France and Belgium for Belgian-born Salah Abdeslam, suspected of playing a role in the co-ordinated shooting and suicide bombings of November 13 claimed by the Islamic State group.

The United States has been on heightened alert in the wake of the attacks, which killed 130 people.

“Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Daesh), Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions,” said a State Department travel advisory.

“US citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation,” it said, advising Americans to avoid large crowds or crowded places and to “exercise particular caution during the holiday season.”

Citing recent attacks in Denmark, France, Mali, Nigeria and Turkey, it also noted the threat of “lone wolf” attacks by unaffiliated persons inspired by terror groups.

The alert, which expires Feb-

ruary 24, warned that “the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Daesh return from Syria and Iraq.”

It was referring to foreign fighters who return home after having fought alongside IS extremists.

“Extremists have targeted large sporting events, theatres, open markets and aviation services,” the alert added.

The State Department often issues individual country travel alerts, but this notice was a rare “worldwide travel alert” that comes in the wake of a series of attacks.

New “attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests,” it said.

■ SYRIA

Entire country being reduced to rubble A heap of dust is all that remains of the house where Alan Kurdi was born and raised, before war sent his family fleeing and he drowned on the short sea crossing between Turkey and Greece.

The image of the toddler’s lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach turned him into an instant symbol of the suffering of Syrians so desperate to reach Europe that they risk their lives making the dangerous journey.

His flattened home, destroyed in a United States airstrike in the landmark battle for control of the Syrian town of Kobane last year, has not been so widely seen.

It is just one of thousands of buildings levelled, among hundreds of thousands more that have been obliterated in Syria.

As the conflict drags into a fifth

year with no end in sight, little heed is being paid to the enormity of the damage in the country.

Some 2.1 million homes, half the country’s hospitals and more than 7000 schools have been destroyed, according to the United Nations.

The cost of the damage is estimated at a staggering US$270 billion ($414.4 billion) - and rebuilding could run to more than US$300 billion, according to Abdallah al-Dardari, a former Syrian Government minister who heads the National Agenda for Syria programme at the UN’s Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia.

That’s more than 10 times the amount spent by the United States on reconstruction in Iraq, with few discernible results.

0 2 $ WAX

L A V O REM

If, or when, the war ends, any government will find itself ruling over a pile of rubble, Dardari said.

“I don’t know who will fund this.”

The immense human toll is a far more immediate and obvious concern.

As many as 250,000 people are dead, one million have been wounded, 7.6 million are displaced within Syria and four million have fled across the borders, according to the United Nations.

The numbers rise daily with each new offensive launched, as Russian planes join Syrian and American ones in bombing the country and the various factions keep up their relentless attacks on one another with rockets, mortars and artillery.

The more buildings are flattened, the more homes, shops and businesses are lost, the greater the incentive to flee the country - and the less people will have to return to when the war finally ends.

“We’re allowing a level of destruction we will never have the means to address,” said Peter Harling of the International Crisis Group.

“They’re wiping one city after another off the map.”

Kobane, which was under seige from Isil (Islamic State) last year, stands as a small reminder of how much is lost.

“If you lived in Kobane, would you stay?” asked Alan Kurdi’s father, Abdullah, sitting in the patched-up wreck of his fatherin-law’s home.

Brussels on edge Belgian security forces were yesterday still hunting down suspected Islamic State militants after making more than a dozen arrests in a series of raids, with sweeping security measures set to stay in place in the capital as the major suspect from the Paris attacks remained at large. Prosecutors said 16 people had been arrested in 22 house raids amid fears allies of Isil may be planning a similar attack in Brussels. Police opened fire at after a vehicle sped at them. Belgian officials decided to extend a partial lockdown of the city through to today, keeping the capital on its maximum terrorism alert level. - AP

Children at risk More than 500 million children living in flood-prone areas and 160 million in drought zones will bear the brunt of climate change if leaders fail to agree on a strat-egy at the upcoming summit in Paris, UNICEF says. The UN climatechange conference opens in Paris on November 30. World leaders are expected to agree on a plan to limit global temperature increases to 2C. The UNICEF report yesterday warned of the dangers of increasingly severe weather conditions for children in high-risk areas. - DPA

■ EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE

In brief

Quake costs hurting Tower “Despite the increased provisions for Canterbury claims cost, our underlying results were very good and reflect the potential of the general insurance business,” chairman Michael Stiassny said.

“We hold considerable capital and will be continuing with our on-market buyback and current dividend policy.”

The company will continue

its $34 million share buyback, of which it’s bought $12 million of stock.

The company’s Pacific business, which spans Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, grew revenue 21 per cent to $46.9 million for a 17 per cent gain in profit to $9.6 million.

Its New Zealand operations generated a 1.6 per cent increase in revenue to $216.8 million, for a loss of $19.2 million due to the Canterbury quake costs.

Tower’s investment income increased 3.5 per cent to $14.7 million.

ers who invest in hundreds of different assets around the world and those investments are at the whims of the markets.

The next time you go to flick over the news from that story about a European bank in financial turmoil you may want to pay attention, because you may own a small slice of it.

Other recent surveys also show that roughly 45 per cent of Kiwis have their KiwiSaver funds invested in conservative and moderate funds, which are invested mostly in stable bonds and cash.

Although these funds don’t often have negative annual returns, after tax and fees returns are likely to be barely above the rate of inflation.

Balanced, growth and aggressive funds on the other hand are what’s needed for those who want to grow their balances and

who have the time and ability to withstand market volatility.

Recently in August there was a relatively large pullback in global markets and some growth fund balances fell by over 5 per cent in the month.

Reports showed that during this time KiwiSaver members switched funds at a rate five times higher than normal.

Many of them would have been unnerved by the volatility and switched to more conservative funds, crystalising those losses and not realising how it might affect them in the long run.

It’s vital that people receive good financial advice and know the best way to achieve their own retirement savings goals.

Being in the most appropriate fund now can mean the difference in balances of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over 30 years and the difference between a no frills retirement and a comfortable retirement.

■ OPINION

recent study by Massey University showed that a lot of New Zealanders can expect a “no frills” retirement if they aren’t saving enough now.

Although essentially all New Zealanders are eligible to receive New Zealand Superannuation from the age of 65, the study shows this will likely not be enough for people to have the freedom to continue living a comfortable lifestyle once they stop working.

There has been a lot of talk recently around exactly how much people need to save for a comfortable retirement and a number of financial commentators and organisations have come up with figures ranging from $250,000 to $450,000.

Whatever the figure is for you, where is this extra savings going to come from?

For more and more Kiwis going forward it will be from their KiwiSaver.

Studies show that education around KiwiSaver is still low and roughly half of New Zealanders think that KiwiSaver is a state savings scheme somehow guaranteed by the government.

Normalised profit is expected to be in the range of $3 million-to-$5 million in the year ending June 30, 2016, the Auckland based company said in a statement.

Tower, the general insurer, posted an annual loss as it prepares for more expensive claims from the Canterbury spate of earthquakes, but raised its dividend payout to reflect a stronger underlying earnings performance.

The Auckland-based company reported an annual loss of $7 million in the 12 months ended September 30, compared to a profit of $23.6 million a year earlier, it said in a statement, confirming guidance it gave last week. That was largely due to a $36.2 million charge from increased provisioning on its remaining Canterbury earthquake claims, which exhausted the reinsurance cover the company took out in April.

Tower estimates the Canterbury quakes attracted gross claims totalling $792 million, of which $206.8 million was still outstanding at September 30.

After reinsurance recoveries and other receivables, the insurer estimates net outstanding claims from the quakes to be $46.2 million.

Stripping out the impact of the quakes, underlying earnings climbed 30 per cent to $28.2 million, on a 6.4 per cent increase in revenue to $322.4 million.

The board declared a final dividend of 7.5 cents per share payable on February 3, with a January 20 record date.

That takes the annual payout to 16 cents, a 10 per cent increase from a year earlier.

A thing of joy B

road beans are one of the vegetable garden’s greatest spring gifts.

Many people shun the humble bean, put off, perhaps by a childhood experience where they were forced to eat a dry, floury bean that came complete with a tough skin. But a broad bean eaten young is a thing of joy.

To enjoy them at their best, however, you need to grow your own. And while they may take up plenty of space compared to their yield, they’re easy to grow and once you’ve grown and eaten your own, you’ll be a committed broad bean grower and eater for life.

Broad bean and feta toasts 350g broad beans, fresh or frozen 100g feta cheese, drained 2T chopped or shredded mint leaves 1 T extra-virgin olive oil 50g bag mixed salad leaves 10 cherry tomatoes, halved 1t lemon juice 4 thin slices baguettes ■ Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Add the beans, return to the boil and cook for 4 mins.

■ Drain in a colander under running water until cold. Press each bean out of its skin into a bowl.

■ Crumble over the feta and scatter over the mint leaves.

■ Season with a good grind of black pepper and drizzle with 2t of the oil. Toss together.

■ Toss the salad leaves and tomatoes with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice.

■ Divide between 2 plates.

■ Toast the bread under the grill

or in a toaster until golden and crisp on both sides.

To serve, spoon the bean and cheese mixture onto the warm toasts and place alongside the salad.

■ Cut potatoes in half or into quarters and toss with the dressing and onions.

Broad bean and potato salad 200g broad beans, fresh and podded, or frozen 750g salad or new potatoes 1 red onion, very thinly sliced 2 T white wine vinegar ½ t sugar 150ml pot soured cream bunch chives, snipped ½ t Dijon mustard ■ Heat a pan of salted water; once boiling, add the broad beans.

■ Bring the pan back to the boil for 2 mins, ■ Lift the beans out with a slotted spoon into a bowl of cold water.

■ Cook potatoes until just tender.

■ Drain and leave to cool.

■ Put the onion into a shallow bowl, splash with the vinegar and scatter over the sugar ■ Leave to soak.

■ Pop the beans out of their jackets.

■ Dressing: Combine soured cream, chives, mustard, 1 T water and plenty of seasoning ■ Add 2t of the vinegary juices from the onion, then stir to combine.

■ Taste and add more of the vinegar if you like, then discard the rest.

Broad bean and chorizo risotto 1 T olive oil 100g smoked bacon, diced 2 shallots, chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 350g small cooking chorizo 30g risotto rice 1 litre hot chicken stock 300g broad beans (fresh or frozen) ■ Heat the oil in a medium-sized pan, then add the bacon, shallots, garlic and chorizo.

■ Gently cook for 8 mins, stirring occasionally so everything cooks evenly.

■ Stir in the rice, coating all over with the cooking juices in the pan.

■ Add just enough stock to cover the rice, ■ Bring to a simmer and gently cook until all the liquid is absorbed.

■ Continue adding the stock a ladleful at a time, and gently cook.

■ Just before the final ladleful of stock, add the broad beans and stir through ■ Cook for 3-4 mins until tender.

■ Remove the chorizo, slice thinly, return to the pan and mix through before serving.

In brief Optimism over Boult New ball spearhead Tim Southee yesterday expressed cautious optimism Trent Boult will be ready for the deciding third test against Australia this week. Swing bowler Boult has been limited by an ongoing back issue, which has reduced his effectiveness in the first two tests, despite taking six wickets at Brisbane and Perth. ‘’He’s in good hands with the physio (Tommy Simsek),” Southee said. ‘’We’ll know more in the next few days.”

Cricket, cash, corruption The judge in charge of the Chris Cairns trial spent an entire day outlining every single piece of evidence and sordid allegation heard in the eight-week hearing. Justice Nigel Sweeney in summing up warned the jury to be “particularly cautious” of Vincent’s evidence. He also told the 12 jurors they must believe at least two of the three key Crown witnesses - Vincent, Brendon McCullum and Ellie Riley - to convict Cairns of perjury.

Justice Sweeney was to start with the defence case overnight, it is then expected the jury will retire to consider its verdicts.

■ GOLF

She Loves Golf Day a big hit

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Golf Club’s She Loves Golf Day proved a resounding success on Sunday with 16 women attending the

lesson at the club.

Club chairwoman Catherine Trott said the New Zealand Golf initiative was enjoyed by all, with the club’s resident professional Matt Davis taking the lesson.

“Our resident golf pro took the entire two-hour lesson and then we had half-an-hour social time at the club which they enjoyed as well,” she said.

“I think it was very successful,

it was a lovely atmosphere all day.”

Trott said the players’ abilities varied, with one participant having never been on a course before.

New Zealand fans likely to see Ko in action Lydia Ko wants to defend her NZ Open title next February in a run towards the LPGA-sanctioned Australian Open in Adelaide.

The world number one took out the NZ title this year at Clearwater and her coach David Lead-

better thinks she’s set to defend her title.

“It’s looking like it,” he told Radio Sport, “she’s seriously considering it.”

The dates would gell - the NZ Open is February 11-14 and Aus-

tralian Open February 18-21 - it’s a question of whether Ko and her coaching team think that schedule will suit her plans.

“She wants to come home and show off her game to all her loyal supporters,” Leadbetter said. “She

is a Kiwi through and through that’s for sure.”

Ko is resting up after claiming the season-long LPGA points race and a US1m bonus, the player of the year award on top of her first major, the Evian.

In brief New netball league A new domestic netball league will kick off in April next year. Netball New Zealand yesterday announced the details of their 2016 events calendar, including the long-awaited confirmation of a new National League.

The National Netball League (NNL) is a development competition that underpins the ANZ Championship in New Zealand. The 12-week competition will feature five teams - one from each zone - playing a double round robin. The majority of the games will be staged as double-headers alongside the weekend ANZ Championship fixtures, and televised on Sky Sport.

Clean slate - Jones Eddie Jones has thrown a lifeline to England’s World Cup outcasts by promising former indiscretions and disciplinary lapses held against them by Stuart Lancaster will not affect their international futures. The newly-appointed England head coach has made it clear the likes of Danny Cipriani (drink driving charge), Manu Tuilagi (guilty of assaulting a police officer) and Dylan Hartley (repeated onfield disciplinary breaches) still have international futures. “I can’t judge them on what they’ve done before,” said Jones. “I’ve got to look at the players and say: ‘Right, can you help this team win?’” - AFP The field in the first of the day at yesterday’s Chertsey Trotting Club trials, heads for home in a cloud of dust.

■ CHERTSEY TRIALS

Nor’west decides racing tactics at the trials When strong nor’west winds whipped up the dust, Nigel McGrath decided there was only one place to be – at the head of the field – during the first race of yesterday’s Chertsey Trotting Club trials.

Just seconds into the race he gave three-year-old Karmic Fire

the nod, emerged from clouds of dust to surge to the lead and stayed there for the entire distance.

The first heat of the day saw eight starters line up for a run in what were at best, challenging conditions.

Several in the field made a

shaky start, losing significant distance on the leaders.

For most of the 2400 metres they ran in Indian file, with the distance from first to last running into more than 100 metres at times.

Gavin Smith and Chuck Norris took the early lead but first

time round made way for Karmic Fire.

The order remained unchanged for the remainder of the race with the Christian CullenAnvil on Fire Karmic Fire coming home more than three lengths clear in 3.06.1, 800m, 57.6, 400m, 27.3.

Nonu eyes titles Former All Blacks centre Ma’a Nonu has arrived at Toulon and immediately set his sights on winning more silverware with the star-studded French side. The rampaging centre is fresh from helping New Zealand retain the Rugby World Cup last month, but that success has not dampened his desire for further glories. Speaking at his official unveiling at Toulon, winners of the European Champions Cup for the past three seasons, Nonu said: “I want to thank the club for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to playing here. I’m here to try my best for this club and I want to achieve things here as well.” - NZME

Jonah’s farewell

■ CYCLING

Roulston back on track Double Olympic medallist Hayden Roulston has returned to the world champion men’s team pursuit squad for the track World Cup in Cambridge from December 4-6.

The team of Piet Bulling, Alex Frame, Regan Gough, Dylan Kennett and Marc Ryan won the world championship in Paris earlier this year, a first for New Zealand.

Kennett (knee) and Ryan (calf) are recovering from injuries and will miss next month’s event.

Cam Karwowski and Nick Kergozou join Bulling, Frame, Gough and Roulston in the team pursuit squad.

“The young guys are the four and I’m challenging them,” Roulston said. “I think it’s healthy; their numbers are incredible.

“If I’m not good enough to be in the team, I’m not going to poison that team.”

“The team is so close any day any rider can put themselves up the pecking order,” high performance director Mark Elliott said.

“Hayden’s coming in well, the data says that, but we want to give him exposure with three of our world champions.”

Karwowski is also likely to contest the six-discipline omnium.

2013 world champion Aaron Gate is spelled after a heavy schedule as he builds towards next year’s world championships.

The men’s team sprint of Sam Webster, Ethan Mitchell and Eddie Dawkins are retained.

The 2014 world champions were out of sync on a windy day at the most recent World Cup in

Ashburton’s Hayden Roulston Colombia. Their time of 45.463s placed them 16th.

“It was good for us to analyse the race and the issues as a team so they don’t happen again,” Dawkins said.

“Wind is unpredictable and unfair on everyone. Cali is the only outside track we race on at World Cup or world championship level.”

Olympic Keirin bronze medallist Simon van Velthooven and Matt Archibald are included in a sprint group for the World Cup under the trade team banner of High Performance Sport New Zealand.

The women’s endurance group includes Rushlee Buchannan, Jaime Nielsen, Georgia Williams and Lauren Ellis in the team pursuit under new coach Brendon Cameron.

They are joined by Holly Edmondston and Alysha Keith who competed in Cali.

Natasha Hansen and Katie Schofield make up the women’s sprint team.

In brief

■ TE AROHA

Ruud Not Too in box seat The benefit of an inside gate gives Ruud Not Too an edge on her stablemate at Te Aroha today, according to trainer Stephen Marsh.

The Cambridge trainer has the filly in good order to resume in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race, in which Scarlet’s Secret will also make her first three-year-old appearance.

“Ruud Not Too was a bit of a headscratcher early on and her first couple of trials were terrible before we added the blinkers,” Marsh said.

“But her last trial was really good and she’s been working well.

M2

“First-up last season she was beaten by Scrutinize and she’s drawn to get a good run, I’d like to think she’s going to be right in the finish.”

Ruud Not Too was turned out after she tailed the field home in the Listed Hamilton Vets Equine Stakes, a race in which Scarlet’s Secret finished one place better on debut.

“She is pretty smart as well,” Marsh said.

“She’s a tidy filly, but hasn’t got the best of draws so I’d probably lean toward Ruud Not Too.”

Opie Bosson has been booked for Scarlet’s Secret while Danielle Johnson will be aboard Ruud Not Too, as well as the other Marsh runners What A Diva (race three), Shoot To Kill (race five), The Husslah (race seven) and All The Drama (race 10).

What A Diva, Shoot To Kill and The Husslah are all making fresh starts and they have recent trial form to their credit while All The Drama had an interrupted run when unplaced at Avondale earlier this month.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The moon warms your emotions and inspires you to reveal a little more about yourself than you normally would feel moved to do. Now the question is, how much should you share?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Some gyms claim to be a “no-judgment zone,” catering to the self-conscious.

You’ve a “no-judgment zone” around yourself now.

Don’t feel the need to assess or be assessed.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you get it right on the first try, that will make you happy. You’ll have something to go on. If you get it wrong, don’t despair.

You will get smarter learning from what you do wrong.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Trust that the less you do, the more desirable you will be. This is a day to believe in your own magnetism. Lie back and make less effort. Doing more will make you less attractive.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Too many choices can be a bad thing for those who don’t know themselves well enough to choose what’s right for them. You do know yourself well, so it’s no problem. Do what pleases you — others will be thrilled.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Understanding and compassion go a long way. Someone will afford you the graciousness that will inspire you to pay it forward. You’ll have the opportunity soon.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You don’t have an ideal view for figuring out the problem yet. Astute observation usually requires a different stance from the usual one. Either you need to take a step back or you need to rise above.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It may feel as though you are only loved when you meet a particular standard of achievement. This isn’t true except for in certain (toxic) relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Dreams of faraway places and exciting scenarios fill your consciousness.

Right now it’s about the dream. Later you’ll make it real. Your gypsy soul will soon go wandering again.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You are in a brave mood today and might be willing to share the thing you avoided talking about last week. Unburdening yourself will feel terrific.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Things don’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. In a small and personal way, this will be a day of reckoning. Your lucky associations will involve fellow air signs (Gemini and Libra): PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There are so many things you could be doing, but none of them will appeal to you as much as relaxing with your favourite person.

Truly, anything you do with your favourite will feel like living the good life.

Mid Canterbury cricket identity Dennis Mably.

Lack of preseason could prove costly

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Local cricket stalwart Dennis Mably is anticipating a tough season ahead for Mid Canterbury, who kick off their quest for a second Hawke Cup triumph against South Canterbury in Timaru on Saturday.

Mid Canterbury’s preseason preparations have been less than ideal.

Bevan Ravenscroft’s side were dealt a four wicket loss by North Otago in Oamaru earlier this

month, before a second preseason hit out scheduled for November 15 against Marlborough in Cheviot failed to materialise due to “miscommunication”.

Mably, who first represented Mid Canterbury against Saturday’s opponents as a 17-year-old, believes the lack of preseason games could prove costly.

“I think it will be hard for them to qualify for the challenge.

“Even if they do get through, which would be great, there’s a huge difference in quality,” he said.

Mably, who played in an era that boasted the likes of Isherwood brothers Richard and BP, represented Mid Canterbury more than 80 times.

Despite his unfaltering loyalty to the region, the 54-year-old isn’t confident that the class of 2015/16 can repeat the team of 2004’s heroics, but is hoping Mid Canterbury can pull off some upsets.

“They could surprise people, Mid Canterbury has got some really good players,” he said.

“It’s just a case of picking the

Mably played his club cricket for the now defunct Tekau, but believes players struggle to transition from senior club to representative cricket with the current format of the Pritchard Shield.

“I think they’ll go reasonable because I don’t think South Canterbury is that strong, but to take on Hawke Cup cricket when the senior competition is only playing 45-over stuff, it’s difficult,” he said.

“That’s really, really hard to do, to go on to the longer game, which is completely different.”

right ones and then having a decent lead up and build-up in to it, which they haven’t had.

“I hope they do well, they could surprise the other sides.”

After spending some time away from the game, the former Mid Canterbury coach said he intends to return to the fray in a coaching capacity in the near future.

“The next couple of years I intend to go and do something with senior cricket, there’s a lot of young talent there that could go really well,” he said.

Toddy calls time on his Crusaders coaching career The Crusaders are looking for a new coach after their next campaign.

They’ve lost extensive playing riches in Richie McCaw and Daniel Carter for 2016 and long-time

coach Todd Blackadder has announced he will finish after the next Super Rugby campaign.

“This will be my eighth season coaching the Crusaders, and every minute in the role has been a

privilege,” he said yesterday.

“But moving on at the end of the 2016 season is the right thing for me and the right thing for the team. I have been so fortunate to be able to do my dream job for all

of these years but I feel that the time is right for someone else to take the reins”.

“Toddy is one of the original Crusaders and he has shown a consummate commitment to this

team since day one,” Crusaders CEO Hamish Riach said. “He has a kind of cult hero status around these parts. We have been incredibly lucky to have him, as both a player and a coach.”
