Lest we forget

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

On a stunning autumn day thousands of Mid Cantabrians stood side by side to remember the sacrifices of those who fought in war.

Returned service personnel were joined by civilians young and old at various services around the district on Saturday to commemorate Anzac Day. They gathered under a brilliant blue sky to remember those who fought in wars past and those who are still serving

in conflicts around the world.

The day was made all the more significant as it also served to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.

At the civic service in Ashburton’s Baring Square, a large crowd gathered to pay their respects and express their hope for an end to conflicts still being fought.

A respectful hush fell over the crowd as returned service personnel marched alongside fire, police, cadet forces, and other

community groups.

Wreaths were laid at the Baring Square cenotaph, followed by a prayer led by minister David Brown.

He asked those gathered to pause in silent communion with those who had fallen, and to spend a quiet moment in contemplation.

Ashburton District Mayor Angus McKay spoke of Mid Canterbury’s sons and daughters who left to fight a war on distant shores and never returned. He asked those in at-

tendance to remember the sacrifices made by ordinary people in extraordinary times.

Ashburton College’s head boy and head girl then addressed the crowd with their own thoughts on the importance of Anzac Day. Head girl Kate Whiting acknowledged the importance of remembering the sacrifice of those who may wish to forget it, while head boy Lachie Davidson spoke of the way the Anzac spirit had united New Zealanders as a nation.

A large crowd also braved a chilly morning to attend the dawn service in Ashburton, where they remembered the sacrifice and bravery of Anzac soldiers as the sun rose over the town.

A sea of white crosses, each representing an Ashburton man who fought and died in World War I, were a solemn reminder of the reality of war.

Paddon crash injures six The Rally of Argentina was overshadowed when six spectators were hurt after a car careered off the track. The accident happened on the ninth stage in Cordoba when the Hyundai of New Zealand’s Hayden Paddon ploughed into the crowd. Rally press officer Augusto Lobo said the seriousness of the injuries was not known while a spokesman for the local Capilla del Monte area said six people had been hurt. In the race, British driver Meeke was more than 38 seconds ahead of Ostberg with Finland’s Jari-Matti Latvala, in a VW-Polo, in third spot, more than a minute off the lead. World champion Sebastien Ogier, whose Polo broke down on Friday to leave him out of contention for a fourth successive win this season, rejoined the race on Saturday but with a 35-minute penalty. Behind the top three, Britain’s Elfyn Evans was fourth in a Ford Fiesta, at more than two minutes off the lead, with Thierry Neuville in a Hyundai in fifth spot.

Household items up for grabs Oprah Winfrey is selling the furniture, artwork, household items and clothing that once filled her Chicago home. In the market for yellow, size 10, patent leather designer shoes?

How about a hand-painted porcelain soup tureen valued at $US6000 ($NZ7900) to $US8000? More than 500 items with price points from $50 to $120,000 are going on the auction block. The low estimate for everything in the sale is about $US800,000. Colleen Gleason, director of estates and appraisals at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, says there’s no upper limit on the bidding. Proceeds will benefit the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation. Winfrey announced last month that she’s closing Harpo Studios in Chicago, where she made The Oprah Winfrey Show. She’s moving production for her cable network to a studio in California.

An ice-cream parlour in Germany is offering liverwurst ice cream for dogs. “It is very well received,” Marco Vazzola, manager of the Eiscafe Venezia in the Rhineland town of Birkenfeld said yesterday. Vazzola said that he had noticed that dog owners often bought an extra scoop of ice cream for their dogs on hot days, and that is when the idea of providing a flavour for the pooches occurred to him. Udo Kopernik, spokesman for the Alliance for German Dogs, remarked that it was unusual for an ice-cream parlour to offer ice cream for dogs but there was fundamentally no reason why dogs couldn’t have some - just not in large quantities.

Prime Minister John Key yesterday apologised for his ponytailpulling antics, labelling himself “the most casual Prime Minister New Zealand has ever had”. Mr Key told TVNZ’s Q and A yesterday he completely misread the situation where he repeatedly pulled the ponytail of a waitress at his local cafe. A political storm erupted after the waitress posted an anonymous letter on the left-leaning website The Daily Blog on Wednesday, saying Mr Key had behaved like a “schoolyard bully” when he pulled her ponytail on repeated occasions. The waitress said she made it clear the physical contact was offensive and unwanted, even threatening to hit him if he did not desist. He eventually apologised by giving her two bottles of his own pinot noir wine. However, Mr Key said yesterday he was just having fun and hoped it would not turn the New Zealand public against him. “I’ve been having a bit of fun but actually in doing that I have badly misread the situation ... I do like to have a bit of a laugh and I’m probably the most casual Prime Minister New Zealand has had,” Mr Key said.

Back-to-back world titles A New Zealand cheerleading squad have won back-to-back world titles, securing gold in the United States at the weekend.

The Team New Zealand All Girls team cheered their way to victory at the World Cheerleading Championships in Florida, which saw more than 30,000 cheerleaders from 70 different countries converge on the Walt Disney Resort in Orlando. The team were competing in the all-girl elite division.

The Team New Zealand Co-ed squad – also part of the All Star Cheerleaders company – could not defend their 2014 title, however, and placed fourth in the co-ed elite division.

All Star Cheerleaders owner Kimberley Ramsay said it was an incredible achievement to win two years in a row.

“I couldn’t be more proud of what both of the teams have achieved. For the girls, it’s simply incredible to be back-to-back World Champions – they are still buzzing!”

■ ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY

United front over ECan make-up

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council is presenting a united front in its support for a mix of elected and appointed representatives to govern Environment Canterbury.

In 2010 the Government stepped in, sacked the team of elected representatives who had been governing the organisation and appointed a group of independent experts. Before the change, ECan’s leadership was struggling to manage competing urban and rural interests across a raft of areas including

social, environmental, economic and cultural.

Since the appointment of the specialist commissioners its performance in many areas has improved significantly and major advances have been made in water management across the region.

Originally the government planned a return to elected membership at the 2013 local body elections but this has now been pushed out to 2016.

To manage the change and to ensure progress made is not lost, the Government proposes a mixture of seven elected and six

appointed representatives. That proposal is out for public discussion and submission.

Local authorities across Canterbury have had mixed reactions to what has been proposed with some finding councillors so divided on the new governance structure they’ve opted for each councillor making an individual submission.

Ashburton, however, has come up with a proposal that, while different to that put up for debate, has the support of the majority of councillors, said council community relations manager Vincie Billante.

“By a majority of eight the council will make a submission for mixed members, eight elected and five appointed members,” she said.

The council is also recommending that model remains in place until the 2019 election with a view to going back to a fully democratic election. That comes with a condition, however, Ms Billante said.

“They’ve said this on condition that there’s a review in the lead-up to determine if this is the best option.”

The representation balance for ECan had swung from fully

elected to fully appointed and the council was comfortable with the mixed representation as a middle ground, she said.

“We’ve also made it clear that if individual councillors wanted to make a submission they can do so, but as an individual, not signing themselves as a councillor.”

Consultation runs until the end of May when the Government will consider submissions and decide a way forward. There will be another opportunity for public input at the start of the legislation process.

■ ANZAC DAY

Huge turnout in Methven

View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

Hundreds of people packed the streets of Methven on Saturday for what may have been the town’s biggest Anzac Day service ever.

Methven Anzac parade organiser Viv Barrett believed up to 1000 people attended the service, making it the best attended in memory.

“There was a tremendous crowd,” he said.

“It was really, really encouraging, it was wonderful.”

While turnout at Anzac events had been increasing in recent years, he believed this year’s bumper crowd was due to the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.

Mr Barrett was also pleased with the increasing number of children who were attending Anzac ceremonies.

He said there had been a focus on educating children about Gallipoli and the meaning behind Anzac Day, and as a result they were getting more involved in services.

He described the service itself as “terrific”.

■ MACULAR DEGENERATION

In brief

Concern about ‘blue light’

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Amidst claims that electronic devices could be putting people at risk of developing early onset macular degeneration, an Ashburton optometrist is warning people not to panic.

A variation of ‘blue light’ is emitted from the screens of electronic devices such as tablets and smartphones, and a Palmerston North optometrist is warning that close proximity to the light could contribute to eye fatigue and damage.

However, Ashburton optometrist Tomas Hruby said that so far this has not conclusively been proven.

Mr Hruby attended a conference in February that discussed the matter, but said he did not believe the science was conclusive as far as macular degeneration was concerned.

“IPad screens and computers omit a wavelength that mucks around with your circadian rhythms, which can upset sleep patterns and things like that,” he said.

“So children and adults should never be on the computer before they go to bed.”

Mr Hruby said there are lenses available for people who were concerned about the effects of blue light that could filter the light.

Whether that leads to an actual reduction of macular degeneration was yet to be proved, he said.

“The lenses certainly do what they say they do, they reduce the light and they reduce wavelength of certain light,” he said.

While Mr Hruby said there was no need for people to panic, there were practical steps that could be taken by people who spent a lot of time looking at a screen.

He urged people to take breaks every 15 minutes and to use the devices in the most natural light possible.

It was not ideal to use electronic devices in poor light or darkened rooms, as that could potentially increase the risk of short-sightedness, he said.

■ LEST WE FORGET MEMORIAL FUN RUN

Smoke inhalation A Methven firefighter was flown to Christchurch Hospital on Saturday after possibly suffering from smoke inhalation. Fire crews were tackling a vegetation fire when the fireman complained that he felt ill.

Methven deputy chief fire officer Gary Blackwell said the man’s condition deteriorated quickly, and the decision was made to call a rescue helicopter. As of yesterday afternoon, the man was still recovering in hospital.

Toddler hit by car A toddler was flown to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries after being hit by a car in Methven on Saturday morning. St John ambulance crews were alerted to the incident on Forest Drive at about 10am.

Ashburton police did not respond to requests for comment.

Floating car

Anzac Day fun run After a 6am start for a dawn service, who wants to go for a run? Dozens of people did just that at the Lest We Forget memorial fun run and walk in Ashburton on Saturday. A piper played as the event kicked off, while dozens of white crosses were laid out to commemorate those who lost their lives. Those who attended could choose how many laps of the 1km course they wanted to complete, or they could do the full 8km run. All proceeds from the event will go to the Anzac Poppy Fund.

A homemade boat race featuring a floating car and a couch on a tyre stack in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf yesterday sparked a Coastguard call-out. Coastguard spokeswoman Georgie Smith said Coastguard boats from the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast went to the scene near Gulf Harbour after a member of the public alerted them to the makeshift vessels at 2.20pm. There were five or six “boats” involved in the race. Most of the people on board appeared to be under the influence of alcohol but were wearing lifejackets, she said. One of the vessels capsized at 3.20pm and the occupants had to be rescued from the water. Photos of the makeshift vessels were posted to Coastguard’s Northern Region Facebook page. One photo shows a couch on a tyre stack, carrying three men in lifejackets, being towed by a dinghy. The couch has been fitted with a wooden flag and what appears to be a mannequin’s head on a stake.

Fundraising for a worthy cause

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s Families Without Violence Network will benefit from a fundraising breakfast at Methven Resort next week.

Intimo lingerie brand stylist Liz McMillan of Methven approached the Ashburton group with the idea of holding the breakfast, as part of Intimo’s End the Silence campaign every April.

Ms McMillan is also chairperson of the Methven Community Board, and has been attending Families Without Violence Network meetings as part of that role.

She said yesterday she hoped the breakfast would help raise funds towards such a worthy cause, and the money was to go towards professional printing of a new Growing Great Kids resource.

Families Without Violence Network co-ordinator Anna Arrowsmith said the new resource would inform of tools and techniques parents could focus on besides yelling at their children. In some ways yelling was the new smacking, and while it was not physical, it could still be considered as abusive behaviour.

The breakfast will feature guest speakers Evans Chibanguza, a Mid Canterbury white ribbon ambassador, and Kerry Maw, a Mid Canterbury Rural Women representative who has recently been to New York and listened to Hilary Clinton talk about domestic violence.

The full buffet breakfast will be Wednesday at 9.30am. There are 100 tickets to sell, at $30 each. They can be purchased from Ms McMillan or Safer Ashburton District.

■ NEPAL QUAKE

Government promises $1m in aid

BY LAUREN PRIESTLEY The Government is promising at least $1 million in aid to help Nepal following the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked the country at the weekend.

More than 2000 people have died, buildings have collapsed, power has been cut and infrastructure is damaged across the country. A state of emergency was announced yesterday.

New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Mfat) has made contact with more than 110 New Zealanders to confirm they were safe. The $1 million contribution would go to aid agencies active on the ground, Mr McCully said.

A number of countries had deployed urban search and rescue or response teams.

“New Zealand has offered to assist, but at this stage it is clear that Nepal’s close neighbours have been able to deploy teams rapidly,” he said.

Mfat staff were continuing to confirm the wellbeing of New Zealanders in Nepal, he said.

“Given the scale of this disaster,

and the fact that communications remain intermittent, it may take time to account for all the New Zealanders in the affected area.”

Labour foreign affairs spokesman David Shearer said the Government was duty-bound to act immediately because of New Zealand’s strong links to Nepal through Sir Edmund Hillary’s legacy of support.

“Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. This is a tragedy on a massive scale and we cannot sit back and watch from the sidelines.”

Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel said Cantabrians understood the trauma Nepalis were now suffering.

She said councillors would meet tomorrow to discuss how the city could help.

Australia’s Government has pledged $A5 million ($NZ5.14m) in assistance, half of which will go to Australian non-government organisations.

Aid organisations from all over the world are rushing to lend a hand in the devastated country.

The Red Cross is mounting an international emergency response to the earthquake.

■ RUTH, ROGER AND ME

New book looks at impact of reforms Rhodes scholar Andrew Dean has been back in his home town to launch his new book, Ruth, Roger and Me – Debts and Legacies.

The 26-year-old attended Allenton Primary School and Ashburton Intermediate, before heading off to Christchurch for high school.

His new book has been a work in progress for some time, completed alongside work on his doctorate thesis at Oxford University.

Mr Dean questions the impacts of three decades of reform on young New Zealanders, in the wake of Roger Douglas and Richardson’s sweeping reforms.

“I wanted to understand more about the economic reforms of the eighties and nineties – and explore the experiences of discomfort and disconnection in New Zealand, to put them in a historical and political context,” he said.

Mr Dean describes his gen-

eration as children of the ‘mother of all budgets’ facing uncertainty in terms of housing affordability, inequality, unemployment and indebtedness.

“I wanted to tell the story of our inheritance – for so many of us, the circumstances we find ourselves in are social phenomena without history,” he said.

“I found I was unable to envision the future, without first talking about and understanding the past – what it means to me, how it helped create the person that I am, and how it has formed so much of our political settlement today.”

Mr Dean was in Wanaka at the weekend, to take part in a panel discussion with Shamubeel Eaqub at the Festival of Colour and will return to the UK today.

Ruth, Roger and Me is published by BWB Texts, and will be available in Ashburton’s Paper Plus.

In brief

■ NEPAL

Yemen clashes kill 92 At least 92 people have been killed in Saudi-led coalition air strikes and fighting between supporters of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and his opponents in southern Yemen. In the key port city of Aden and in the adjacent Lahj province alone, 46 rebels died in ongoing clashes and 12 hours of intense air strikes that lasted until early on Saturday, a military source close to them said.

A medic in Aden said that eight pro-Hadi militiamen were killed.

Government officials earlier gave a toll of 38 killed in clashes across other southern towns.

Frantic search for survivors Rescuers in Nepal are searching frantically for survivors of a huge quake that killed more than 2000, digging through rubble in the devastated capital Kathmandu and airlifting victims of an avalanche at Everest base camp.

National police spokesman Kamal Singh Ban says the number known to have died in Nepal has risen to 1953 while officials in India say the toll there stands at 53.

Chinese state media said 17 people had been killed in the Tibet region.

Hospitals were so stretched yesterday that medics had set up tents outside the buildings to treat patients.

The historic nine-storey Dharahara tower, a major tourist attraction, was among the buildings brought down, with at least a dozen bodies were taken away from the ruins of the 19th-century tower.

Offers of help poured in from

governments around the world, with the United States and European Union announcing they were sending in disaster response teams. India flew out its stranded citizens in military planes.

“We have deployed all our resources for search and rescues,” Singh Bam said.

“Helicopters have been sent to remote areas. We are sifting through the rubble where buildings have collapsed to see if we can find anyone.”

Officials said 17 people were so far known to have died on Mount Everest where an avalanche triggered by the earthquake buried part of base camp.

It is the deadliest disaster in Everest’s history and comes almost exactly a year after an avalanche killed 16 sherpa guides.

AFP’s Nepal bureau chief Ammu Kannampilly, on an assignment at base camp, reported that six helicopters had managed to reach the mountain

on Sunday morning after the weather had improved overnight.

AFP correspondents in Kathmandu reported that tremors were felt throughout the night, including one strong aftershock at dawn.

Snowfalls at the weekend had thwarted efforts to airlift survivors from Everest base camp, where hundreds of mountaineers were gathered at the start of the annual climbing season, cancelled last year after the deaths of the 16 sherpa guides.

Google executive Dan Fredinburg was the only climber killed to have been identified so far.

Experienced mountaineers said panic erupted at base camp, which has been “severely damaged”, while one described the avalanche as “huge”.

George Foulsham, a Singapore-based marine biologist, described the moment that the disaster struck.

“I was outside, saw a white 50-storey building of white come at me. I ran and it just flattened me,” he said.

“I tried to get up and it flattened me again. I couldn’t breathe, I thought I was dead.

When I finally stood up, I couldn’t believe it passed me over and I was almost untouched.”

Nepal and the rest of the Himalayas are particularly prone to earthquakes because of the collision of the Indian and Eurasia plates.

An 6.8 magnitude quake hit eastern Nepal in August 1988 killing 721 people, and a magnitude 8.1 quake killed 10,700 people in Nepal and eastern India in 1934.

Meanwhile the Red Cross (IFRC) said it was concerned about the fate of rural villages close to the epicentre of the quake northwest of the capital Kathmandu.

Volcano spews ash Ash from Chile’s spewing Calbuco volcano is threatening to spell travel misery in the region and beyond after it triggered the cancellation of domestic and international flights in several cities. A sleeping giant for more than 50 years, the volcano sprang to life in spectacular bursts of ash and lava last week, forcing 6500 people living nearby to evacuate and blanketed southern Chile in suffocating volcanic debris. It coughed out more fire and ash at the weekend, with an ash cloud drifting eastward over Patagonia and Argentina, reaching Buenos Aires 2000km away, where some airlines cancelled flights to and from the United States and Europe.

More family time for condemned Aussies Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are spending some of their final hours with family as the clock ticks down to their executions.

The Bali Nine pair was told yesterday they will be executed tomorrow, a moment preserved

by Sukumaran who signed one of three self-portraits “72 hours just started”.

His mother Raji and siblings Brintha and Chunthu were among those to visit him at the weekend, making the sad journey with Chan’s mother Helen, brother Michael and fiance

Nine men have been charged with drug trafficking after the British coastguard seized more than two tonnes of cocaine off the east coast of Scotland. French customs shared “specific information allowing two ships from the Royal Navy and the British coastguards to board a tug 100km east of Scotland carrying a very large quantity of cocaine, more than two tonnes”, it said in a statement. The drugs were found when the HMS Somerset and Border Force cutter Valiant intercepted the Hamal, a 35-metre tugboat registered in the Marshall Islands and owned by a Ukrainian company. Britain’s National Crime Agency said nine men aged between 26 and 63 would appear before an Aberdeen court today charged with drug trafficking offences.

Feby, among other friends.

It’s unclear how many of the 10 prisoners Indonesia has readied for execution will face the firing squad, with reports Frenchman Serge Atlaoui has been granted a reprieve.

Sukumaran and Chan were also asked at the weekend for their last wishes, and have been granted more time with family in their final days.

Lawyers are pleading with Jakarta to respect legal proceedings that several are still pursuing, while international pressure for mercy also grows.

France has pledged to work with Australia to halt the executions, with Prime Minister Tony Abbott set to meet Francois Hollande today.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has been seeking talks with her a Indonesian counterpart since Friday.

Chan and Sukumaran’s lawyers have lodged a challenge with the constitutional court but the attorney-general doesn’t acknowledge it, arguing the pair have exhausted their appeals.

But his office is yet to respond

to moves by lawyers for Filipina Mary Jane Veloso, who filed a second request for a judicial review late on Friday.

Indonesian Zainal Abidin has an appeal before the courts due to be decided today but has been moved in preparation for execution, as if the result was pre-determined.

Atlaoui apparently won a reprieve based on an administrative matter.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has added his voice to global calls for Indonesia to halt its execution plans. - AAP

An Afghan provincial police chief has been gunned down in a suspected insider attack just a month after his influential predecessor was assassinated, officials say. Gulab Khan was killed apparently by a fellow policeman while he was inspecting a security checkpost on Saturday in the southern province of Oruzgan.

“Gulab Khan and one of his friends were killed in the provincial capital Tarin Kowt,” Dost Mohammad Nayab, a spokesman for Oruzgan’s governor, said. “They were shot at close range. The police have launched an investigation and arrested his bodyguard.” Gul Agha, a senior police official in Tarin Kowt, confirmed the incident.

Khan was recently promoted to the post of acting police chief of Oruzgan after serving as the deputy chief for 12 years.

OUR VIEW

What does our flag stand for?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he crowds at Mid Canterbury’s Anzac Day commemorations suggest we must tread carefully when we consider the future of our flag.

Public consultation on the possible future of our flag begins in a few weeks - long enough, some might hope, for the reflection of Anzac Day to have waned.

For some, it would have been difficult to imagine a redrawn New Zealand flag running up the pole at Baring Square as the Last Post was played on Saturday.

It would have been difficult to see how it would be a step forward when so much of what we know about being a New Zealander comes from looking back.

After years attending services in which we pledged never to forget, it would have been hard to see how a rebrand would do anything to help future generations remember.

Some of these observations will become arguments as we consider the many possible flags some would have us use in place of the flag known by our forebears.

And, as they already have, some will dismiss such arguments as irrelevant to a country whose present and future are about moving away from the problems of the past.

It is true that not all the service people whom we acknowledged at the Anzac Day services went to war for the flag, or even that they all felt they fought under it.

Some - many - fought for their country, for their ideals and for their mates rather than with reference to their flag. And some fought because they had to.

The flag would have meant many things during those times of sacrifice and, as the years passed, during times of observation and remembrance.

It was once a paradoxical symbol of our independence and of our ties to the Empire.

Over time, that bond withered and the flag was associated with what we achieved as a nation.

Anzac Day reminds us that New Zealand is a product of its past. The flag saluted at Baring Square is a potent reminder of how we got here.

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

A

s your local MP and in my roles as the Minister of Justice and Minister for Courts, I’m committed to ensuring the sector works in the best interests of all New Zealanders.

Thanks to our tough stance on law and order, New Zealand’s recorded crime rate is at its lowest level in 35 years and falling. Our core focus has been crime prevention, backing the police, improving the responsiveness of the justice system and putting victims first.

One thing that I found quite shocking and surprising when I took on the justice portfolio was how unevenly spread the incidence and impact of crime is in this country. Research has shown that just 6 per cent of adults in New Zealand experience 54 per cent of all crime.

Victims of family and sexual violence suffer particularly high levels of harm and are at a high risk of further victimisation.

Some of the actions that the Government has taken to put victims first include introducing an Offender Levy, which has helped fund additional support services for victims; and increasing funding for restorative justice programmes, which can provide an alternative way of addressing the harm caused to victims.

As part of our package of family violence reforms we are reviewing the Domestic Violence Act 1995 to ensure it keeps victims safe and we have established a Chief Victims Advisor to advise on the needs and views of victims. We have set up a nationwide home safety service to help victims who want to leave a violent relationship and we are currently trialing mobile safety alarms for victims We have also recently developed a new draft Victims Code of Rights to help ensure victims are better informed and remain at the heart of the justice system.

Developing the Victims Code is an important part of our work to ensure victims know

their rights. It is vital that victims of crime, who are caught up in the criminal justice system through circumstance, know about and understand it.

The draft code outlines victims’ rights, the services available to victims and their families from government agencies and other organisations, and the obligations of justice sector agencies when dealing with victims.

To be effective and reach those who need it, the code

needs to be user-friendly and readily available to victims and their families.

The Government has developed the code with the interests of victims in mind, and is seeking public feedback to ensure we’ve got it right.

Amid wetlands rich with birds

A wood stork flies back to its nest at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida. The wetlands site is home to 60-80 pairs of nesting wood storks this year.

PHOTO AP

Pat Carter found more than just birds when he visited Florida’s Wakodahatchee Wetlands recently.

The crowd quickly gathered — a dozen or so people, cameras in hand — as a 2-metre alligator came ashore.

“Alligator!” someone yelled as camera shutters clicked. “It’s got a turtle in its mouth!” said someone else. “Poor turtle,” said another.

But hungry alligators are just one of the sights at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida, 32 kilometres from Palm Beach. The wetlands are primarily known as one of the best bird-watching sites in South Florida.

“It’s a slice of the Everglades,” says Robert Nelton of Palm Beach County’s water utilities department.

“You’ll see everything you would see in the Everglades but in suburban Delray Beach.”

More than 150 species, from migrating birds to native tropical birds, have been spotted at

Wakodahatchee.

Five years ago, there were no wood storks in the wetlands.

Now, says Nelton, the population has boomed, with 60 to 80 nesting pairs of wood storks living there year-round “because the hunting is good,” he said.

Large green iguanas can be seen hanging in the trees, and the water is also home to turtles and frogs. The trees on one island area have herons, egrets, anhinga and cormorants all nesting together.

Admission to the wetlands is free, and the place is so popular that cars from California to Canada wait in line for parking spots. Other visitors old and young come by bus from retirement villages and schools.

The name Wakodahatchee is derived from the Seminole Indian language and translates as “created waters”.

Photographers and bird watchers line one of the boardwalks during early morning at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida.

works and identify plants, turtles and common birds.

There are many spots where the path gets within a few feet of nests, offering a close look at nests and fledglings.

During bird season, November to May, 500 to 600 people visit daily. Some peer at the nests with binoculars, others use point-and-shoot cameras or

Topics of conversations range from the newest camera equipment to advice on best places to spot the birds — until someone yells “bird flying!”

Then all you can hear is the din of camera shutters snapping open and shut.

In brief Killer instinct required Michael Cheika is demanding the NSW Waratahs rediscover their killer instinct as Super Rugby’s defending champions look to seize control of their finals fate in a highstakes derby against the Brumbies on Friday night. Coach Cheika was furious after the Waratahs almost frittered away a big early lead in Saturday night’s tense 18-16 win over the Melbourne Rebels at ANZ Stadium. The two-point escape was “far too close” for Cheika’s liking and he admonished his pack for losing their go-forward during “some very dark patches” in an encounter that almost certainly ended the gallant Rebels’ playoff hopes.

Canes back to form The Hurricanes continue to stay a step ahead of the Chiefs ahead of next month’s New Zealand Conference showdown. Two nights after their Kiwi rivals went to the top of the Super Rugby standings, the Hurricanes reclaimed their lofty perch with a battling but eventually impressive 35-19 victory over the Reds. Victory in Brisbane last night meant the Hurricanes have now grabbed five straight road wins for the first time in their history. Shaking off their solitary loss at home to the Waratahs last week, they moved a point ahead of the Chiefs and etched another line under the May 16 encounter that could have larger ramifications come playoff time.

Stormers in a thriller Stormers skipper Duane Vermeulen blocked a late dropgoal attempt by Bulls five eighth Handre Pollard to help his team secure a pulsating 15-13 Super Rugby win at Newlands. The Bulls were pressing hard deep in Stormers territory to wipe out the two-point deficit as time ticked away. Then opportunity knocked for the Pretoria outfit when Pollard received the ball in a favourable position just outside the 22-metre line. But Springbok No.8 Vermeulen charged, blocked his kick, and then hacked the ball to safety. The victory lifted the Stormers to third on the combined southern hemisphere inter-provincial championship standings, while the Bulls slipped down to fifth.

Southern pours on points

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Celtic, Rakaia and Southern all earned valuable wins in the Combined Country Cup rugby competition to move a step closer to the playoffs at the midway point on Saturday.

After five of the nine rounds, four Mid Canterbury teams sit within the top eight across the two sections.

In section one Rakaia’s 32-21 bonus point win over Kaiapoi has them move to second after Celtic took down Glenmark 2825 to move up into fourth, with Glenmark dropping to third.

Southbridge went on a scoring spree punishing Prebbleton 60-10 to remain on top. Defending champions Lincoln edged out Oxford 15-13 to move to fifth as Oxford fell from fourth to sixth. West Melton handed Hornby a fifth straight defeat 34-10.

In section two Southern’s bonus point win over Hampstead had them move up to third ahead of Burnham-DunsandelIrwell. Methven had claimed a fifth straight on Thursday night beating BDI 23-9 to stay top.

Waihora maintained second spot with a narrow 114-8 win over Ashley, Darfield scraped past Saracens 24-23 and Rolleston registered their first win in the competition beating Ohoka 29-19.

Southern v Hampstead A reshuffled Southern side were too strong for Hampstead, running out 44-19 winners in Mayfield.

Missing eight potential starting players - including sporting an entirely new backline from the previous week - Southern still ran in seven tries to Hampstead’s two.

Collins opened the scoring, but new first-five James Miller couldn’t convert.

Hampstead - also featuring a rejigged backline - began offloading at will, building momentum for a second Touli penalty to take the lead 6-5.

Southern hit straight back through hooker James Carr with Welshman Miller scoring his first points with the conversion. Collins then went in twice in quick succession – the first from a pick-and-go and the second a simple finish on the wing after the ball went through the hands for the bonus point try, with Miller converting the second to make it 24-6.

Hampstead had a late surge for another Touli penalty but Miller returned fire before the break to lead 27-9.

Southern wasted little time putting points on the board into the wind with a double to number eight Jon Dampney – the second from a quick tap follow-

ing the yellow card to Hampstead’s Josh Nonu for a cynical infringement on the goal line.

With Miller converting one of Dampney’s brace Southern led by 30 points.

The return of Adaam Ross to Mid Canterbury senior rugby was short-lived as the former Heartland lock was yellow carded, the unlucky culprit as the team were punished for an infringements in the red zone, moments after coming on.

Hampstead found some rhythm and came up with a tries to prop Villie Finau and halfback Tata Lisala with Touli adding a conversion.

Southern then had the final say with a late try to centre Josh McAtamney.

“Miller directed us around the park and we were able to keep Hampstead out of the game,” Southern coach Jason Rickard said. “We played well with the wind but weren’t sure if we had put enough points on the board but we turned around

it’s your local

and started well into the wind.”

The five points has Southern move up to third on the ladder, and it while it was Hampstead’s first time not to pick up a point they remain in fifth.

“It was the worst game we have put on the field so far,” Hampstead coach Regan Broker said. “Into the wind we kicked it away and with the wind we tried to run it from our own end. Just silly rugby.”

There was more bad news for Broker as loose forward Tevita Ula facing a few weeks off with a groin strain.

Glenmark v Celtic A late Nathan McCloy penalty proved the difference as Celtic got home 28-25 over Glenmark in Omihi.

In a tit-for-tat game in trying conditions as a strong nor’ west wind blew across the park Celtic’s young first five landed the match winner.

“It wasn’t a good day for the kickers, but we had an opportunity and Nathan stepped up and slotted the winning one,” Celtic coach Warren Mackenzie said.

Tries to halfback Mark Summerfield and loose forward Gus Lindsay with a conversion to McCloy saw Celtic with a slender 12-10 lead after a penalty and a converted try from the hosts. Lindsay scored a second and lock Dan Dwyer scored the bonus point try, with a penalty from McCloy seeing the scores tied at 25-all.

With time winding down McCloy kicked his second penalty which would prove the difference.

“It could have gone either way but we were able to hold them out in the end.”

The bonus point win promoted Celtic back into the top four with Mackenzie hoping his side can kick on over the second half of the competition.

Southern’s new recruit, Welshman James Miller, kicks at goal in the fifth round of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup rugby match at Mayfield on Saturday.

Rakaia, Methven on a roll Southern on top Kaiapoi v Rakaia Rakaia came from behind to take down Kaiapoi 32-21 on Saturday to record their fourth straight win in the Combined Competition.

The visitors raced out to a handy 19-7 lead before Kaiapoi hit back with tries either side of halftime to take a 21-19 lead.

Rakaia dug deep and wore down the hosts with two tries and a penalty to collect a bonus point win.

“It was hard work but we got there,” Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said.

“We had phases where we played well, but we just let in some soft tries from soft tackling.

“Kaiapoi aren’t a bad side but said they have been losing their games

in the last quarter, and that was the case again.”

Lock Cameron Letham, flanker Harry Ashworth, second-five Richie Williams, wing Casey Moore and lock-come-wing Nathan Nordqvist scored the tries.

Mason Hislop and Josh Colgan had a conversion each and Andrew Letham kicked the penalty.

Letham had started at fullback but moved into first five after Hislop came off injured - adding to the side’s injury concerns.

Rakaia hope to have their midfield pair Nete Cauca and Seta Koroitamana back for the round six clash with Oxford as their injured players start to trickle back in for the run to the playoffs.

Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell v Methven Methven retained their unbeaten status with a 23-9 win over Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell on Thursday night.

Fullback Brenton Connell scored the lone first half try as Methven held a narrow 10-6 lead at the break, with a conversion and penalty from first-five Dan Maw. Second half tries to prop James McLeod and halfback Chris Lock, and a second penalty from Maw, had Methven take the victory, handing BDI their first loss of the season.

It was the first game of the competition that Methven had failed to pick up a bonus point for scoring four tries.

Defending Michael Duff Memorial holders Southern secured a fourth straight win to remain at the top of the table in Mid Canterbury Senior B rugby on Saturday.

Southern had a bonus point 27-7 win over Collegiate to remain the only unbeaten team after five rounds.

Celtic remain hot in pursuit with a hard-fought 15-7 win over Mt Somers, with Methven also in the hunt after tipping up Tinwald 22-20. After back-toback losses Hampstead had a 37-7 win over Allenton and Rakaia had the bye.

Senior B sides are back in action tomorrow night for round six - set to play three games in eight days.

In a crucial game in the round one honours race, Southern takes on Tinwald while Celtic are heavily favoured to bank the points at home to a winless Allenton.

Hampstead host Collegiate and Rakaia are up against Mt Somers, while Methven have the bye.

Concussion tests for McCaw All Blacks captain Richie McCaw will undergo tests over the coming days to determine his availability this weekend after being momentarily knocked out in the Crusaders’ victory over the Blues on Saturday.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said whether McCaw will face the Hurricanes in a crucial New Zealand Conference clash on Saturday will depend on test results.

“There are a set of procedures that will be followed by a doctor and if he passes them he will should be fine [to play],” Blackadder said.

“He looked pretty good in the sheds but we’ll see how he rolls out.”

Meanwhile the Blues must be wonder-

ing when this interminable season is going to end. The defeats are blurring now.

Turn up, get stuck in but be outclassed ... that was the story on Saturday night just as it has been the story of their season.

Each week feels depressingly similar more for the outcome than the process it has to be said as there were patches last night when they played a bit of football.

Francis Saili’s first-half try, when he hammered off a short George Moala pass without a hand laid on him, was the Blues’ attacking highlight of the season so far.

And they showed their now-customary courage to cling on to the game midway through the first half when it was

in danger of being curtains for them.

They had to show just as much courage again when they were reduced to 14 men as a result of Jamison GibsonPark’s yellow card for a cynical foul just minutes after he came on.

More encouraging still, was the performance of Akira Ioane who might just be a seriously good player - as could Blake Gibson who also enjoyed a promising 20 minutes.

But, like always, when the final whistle was blown, the Blues had been well cooked.

They left Christchurch with the familiar zero points and a little less confidence and belief than when they arrived.

In brief Shock loss for Wakanui Wakanui Black shot themselves in the foot bringing their game forward for duck shooting in the MidSouth Canterbury hockey competition in Timaru on Saturday. In what was supposed to be a weekend off, the defending men’s champions moved their game against Tainui forward to have next weekend off.

Black travelled south with a bare 11 and were taken down 3-4. Toby Thomas opened the scores before Tainui struck twice to take the lead.

Goals from Hayden Bonnington and Ryan Wilson put Black back in front, only to concede another two goals. “Tainui have come on well in the last two years and deserved the win” Black’s Adam Wilson said.

“We were pretty poor really but I think Tainui will be a team to watch out for this year.”

Back down to earth A week after big wins were the rage local sides didn’t fare as well in Mainland Football. Mid Canterbury United Eastern drew 3-3 with Cashmere Technical in Division 4 while the Methven Men had a late equaliser from Tabelo Thabu to draw 1-1 away to Hornby United in Division 5. The Mid Canterbury Masters went crashing down 0-4 away to Halswell. The age group grades had the long weekend off.

Methven A women maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 win over Nomads in division one yesterday but Methven B were on the end of a 1-10 loss to Selwyn in division two.

Warriors blow it Twenty minutes of madness turned a bright start into a damaging defeat for the Warriors on Saturday. Holding a halftime lead at home to the Titans, the popular pre-season pick to take the wooden spoon, the Warriors were primed to earn a victory that would have lifted them into the top eight. Then, with half an hour of the match to play, it all went horribly wrong.

Tackles were missed, Titans were waved through and the Warriors’ energy levels dropped as quickly as their heads. By the time the carnage concluded, Gold Coast had grabbed four tries and scored 20 unanswered points, leaving the Warriors languishing on the bottom half of the ladder. - NZME

Baabaas send Saints packing

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@heguardian.co.nz

A special day produced a special performance as the Ashburton Barbarians produced a 44-14 win over the Marist Saints in Canterbury Rugby League division one at Collegiate South on Saturday.

The Barbarians dedicated

their first home game of the season to the memory of young David Heke - who lost his battle with cancer earlier this year - and his older brother, Devaun Thompson, delivered a performance worthy of the occasion.

Thompson was given the captaincy for the day and led from

the front, running in five of the Barbarians’ 10 tries in a man-ofthe-match effort in the big win.

With their regular goal kicker away they only had two successful attempts on goal.

“We wanted to dedicate it to young David, and the boys went out to put on a good win,” coach Steve Gamble said.

“It was a bit of a towel up and the boys were rapt.”

As well as honouring Heke, the win was some revenge over the Saints who had beaten the Barbarians in extra time of the division two final last year.

With back-to-back wins the Barbarians take aim at the Aranui Eagles this Saturday.

Phoenix miss chance to claim second place

By DanieL RichaRDson The Wellington Phoenix will have to do it the hard way in the A-League playoffs.

After losing 2-1 to Sydney FC at Westpac Stadium last night they were consigned to a fourth-place finish on the ladder, which means they will host Melbourne City in the opening round of the knockout stages before having to go on the road if they advance.

A win over Sydney FC would have pushed Wellington to second and given them a bye to start the playoffs before hosting a semi-final in two weeks.

Last weekend, the Phoenix came back from 2-0 down to beat the Central Coast Mari-

ners 3-2 in thrilling fashion, but there were no such heroics this time around.

At one point this season, the Phoenix looked on track to claim a maiden Premiers Plate so they may view fourth place as a disappointment.

There were changes across the paddock yesterday as Sydney FC were without striker Marc Janko who stayed in Australia with a minor injury. The Austrian leads the golden boot standings with 16 goals.

Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick took the chance to shuffle his deck too as Vince Lia returned in midfield, while Manny Muscat started at left back after being dropped last week.

The versatile Louis Fenton

was then deployed in a wide role up front, despite playing most of the season in defence.

Veteran keeper Glen Moss was also out with a knee injury, which provided an A-League debut for Lewis Italiano.

Things started well for the Phoenix and they won a penalty in the early stages but midfielder Roly Bonevacia pulled his spot kick wide and didn’t trouble Sydney custodian Vedran Janjetovic.

Penalties have been an issue for the Phoenix this season as Bonevacia’s missed effort was the fifth botched spot kick by the club - in contrast the rest of the league had combined to miss only four this year.

Minutes later, Bernie Ibini

gave Sydney FC the lead with an impressive solo strike and former Phoenix forward Shane Smeltz then gave his old teammates of a reminder of his ability as he converted a penalty in the 32nd minute.

That meant the Phoenix were down 2-0 at halftime, the same situation as last week.

The game’s second spell got underway in perfect fashion for the Phoenix as right back Michael Boxall scored to bring Wellington back in to the contest.

Wellington have been the masters of scoring late goals this season but they were unable to weave any further magic as Sydney held on for a valuable win.

■ NETBALL

Tactix push Vixens Holding their nerve down the finishing straight, the Melbourne Vixens held a competitive Mainland Tactix at bay to record a 56-52 win in Melbourne yesterday.

Hot favourites coming into the match, the Vixens had to rely on all their experience to pocket the points against the winless Tactix who pushed the defending champions all the way.

Spearheaded by shooters Tegan Philip and Karyn Bailey, the Vixens did just enough to scramble across the line with a better second half showing against a gritty Tactix, who produced their best outing of the season.

There were plenty of encouraging signs from the Tactix who have endured a tough season but they remained undaunted by the prospect of

coming up against the reigning premiers.

Strong conversion rates and enough turnover ball gave the visitors every chance of securing an upset but the Tactix were undone by a lack of composure and accuracy when in positions to nail home an advantage.

Meanwhile The in-form West Coast Fever have continued their unbeaten ANZ Championship run after holding off a late final quarter charge by the Magic in Perth yesterday.

Down by up to 11 late in the third quarter, the WaikatoBay of Plenty side produced a stirring late quarter comeback to close within three goals of the homeside with a couple of minutes left on the clock before the Fever pulled away to claim a 54-49 win. - NZME

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Now is the time to ask what you want the coming months to bring, putting matters of the heart high on your priority list.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Whatever you’ve been considering or aware of in the past is taking on a new sense of urgency, though you still have time and luck on your side.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Make yourself as available as possible, with the stars dialling up an important day for networking and for connecting.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground especially when it comes to income matters or any situation that speaks to a sense of entitlement.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) You should already be seeing the signs that the pace of life is not only picking up but moving forward not backwards.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With some game changing developments on the income, work and career fronts the more you can keep your mind open the better.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) There is a sense of synchronicity in the air today and lucky hunches that have the power to put you in the right place at the right time.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) As the pace on the work front eases back the pace on the career front is speeding up, to a point where they’ll eventually be able to match each other.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There is something about a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure in the air today that provides clues to what’s possible.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With the money gods due to shift their focus to include income matters, trust your hunches when it comes to financial and money matters today.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Bless anything that gets things out in the open and where you’re able to sense that the tide really has turned.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) The most important information you’re able to pick up on is that the tide has turned, with a chance now to start gaining some traction.
