Immigration policy ‘very positive’

New incentives to bring skilled migrants into the regions will have huge benefits for Mid Canterbury, according to the district’s mayor.

Measures to encourage skilled migrants and businesses to head to the regions were announced by Prime Minister John Key at the National Party conference in Auckland.

It was hoped the new measures would give a much-needed boost to local economies by increasing bonus points used to determine whether residency requests should be approved or denied.

The announcement follows calls from Business Mid Canterbury last week to take a closer look at how immigration is managed, particularly at

regional and provincial levels.

Administrator Rene Artz said New Zealand had a “broad brush immigration policy” and he wanted the Government to look at it from a regional perspective.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said the new move could go some way to reducing an increasing labour shortage in Mid Canterbury.

“It could have a very positive impact on a district like Ashburton.”

Skilled workers who took jobs in the regions would have bonus points bumped up from an extra 10 to an extra 30 points.

New migrants would also have to stay for at least 12 months instead of three.

It would also give those immigrant families who have children at school

an avenue to help them become permanent residents, Mr McKay said.

“It cements the opportunity for migrants to settle and live in Ashburton,” he said.

When asked if people would stay in the regions for the minimum amount of time and then move to bigger cities, he said it would be harder to move once people had settled down.

“It would be difficult to move to Auckland if you have a good, reliable job.

“You’ve become a member of the community, and your children are settled in schools,” he said.

Ozzy Osbourne’s baby obsession Ozzy Osbourne is obsessed with buying baby clothes when he’s on tour. The Black Sabbath rocker has just become a grandfather for the second time following the birth of his son Jack’s daughter Andy last month. The tot is a little sister to his and wife Lisa’s little girl Pearl, 3, and Ozzy dotes on the kids. “Every time Ozzy goes on tour, he comes back with the most gorgeous dresses for the girls. He finds stores and picks everything out himself,” Lisa laughed to British magazine Hello!

Ozzy’s wife Sharon added: “He’s obsessed with buying baby clothes. Pearl calls him Papa and she’s got him around her little finger.”

Unexpected royal visit Team New Zealand won the publicity lottery yesterday when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made an unscheduled visit to their base in Portsmouth. With the rain teeming down in the south of England the royals were spirited inside and William and Kate chose the Emirates Team New Zealand base as their preferred destination.

The move nearly blindsided Team NZ boss Grant Dalton and his staff, who were only made aware of the change of plans an hour before the visit when local and military dignitaries started arriving at their makeshift home.

“It’s a great coup for us ...”

Dalton said. “It was a request of the palace and really well received.”

App tracks prince’s chopper flights A British newspaper said it has uncovered a major royal security breach by using an inexpensive app to track Prince William’s air rescue ambulance while it is in the air. The Mail on Sunday said the £2.99 ($A6.31) app allowed it to keep close track of William as he flew in his capacity as a private pilot with East Anglian Air Ambulance in eastern England. It said the app allowed its journalists to pinpoint where William was planning to land the air ambulance helicopter. Air safety expert Christopher Yates said it would be relatively easy to modify software so that a helicopter William was using couldn’t be tracked, but he said such a change may not be warranted. “Most of the time when an air ambulance is called it appears on the scene, scoops someone up and disappears,” he said. “If there were someone monitoring, the chance of them being there at the scene when he arrives is quite remote.”

Costly for Samoa The All Blacks’ much anticipated first game in Samoa has cost the local rugby union a loss of $1.5 million tala – about $NZ890,000. Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, who is also the Samoan Rugby Union’s chairman, revealed the figure to local media over the weekend. “[A total of] $3.4 million (tala) was spent to host the All Blacks. The money was spent on preparations, the cost of everything and allowances,” the Samoa Observer reported. The All Blacks played Manu Samoa at the newly refurbished Apia Park on July 8. The Kiwi team received a hero’s welcome when they touched down at Faleolo Airport two days earlier and the local tourism industry soared. Mr Malielegaoi said the union had received $1.9 million tala (about $NZ1.1m) in revenue.

“It doesn’t cover our expenses, especially the extended camp for the players, food, allowances, transport. It’s all money,” he said.

Witch doctor warnings Warnings are being issued about black magic-practising witch doctors said to be swarming into South Auckland and exploiting vulnerable people. Here on tourist or temporary work visas, 3 News this week reported they were using local media to advertise lifelong protection from the likes of black magic, money problems and marriage problems. They are said to be ripping New Zealanders off to the tune of thousands of dollars, and have raised the ire of Auckland community leader Pratima Nand. Ms Nand believes the witch doctors should not be operating in the community. “They are here to suck money out of people. They are leaving people in a very devastated state – suffering mentally, psychologically ... after losing large sums of money,” she said. According to Ms Nand, the witch doctors are moving from country to country. Immigration New Zealand is reported to be investigating.

■ TINWALD CRASH

Victim ‘a generous man’

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

The man killed in a car crash near Tinwald on Friday has been remembered as a generous man who would “give you the shirt off his back”.

Terry Henry Munday, 63, of Ashburton died after his car failed to take a bend on Grahams Road on Friday night.

His vehicle left the road, clipping some trees.

Ashburton police are considering a range of options, from speed and alcohol to whether Mr Munday had a medical event while driving, Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said.

Because there were no witnesses to the crash, police had to rely on the Serious Crash Unit investigation and a postmortem report, he said.

Terry’s brother, Ivan Munday,

said his death had come as an “extreme shock” to the family and he would be greatly missed.

Terry was meticulous, houseproud and a very hard worker, Ivan said.

You couldn’t judge a book by its cover when it came to Terry.

Despite being a giant of the rugby field, he was also passionate about photography and arts and crafts, he said.

“If you looked at the exterior, you wouldn’t fathom him doing those sorts of things,” he said.

“He could put his hand to pretty much anything.”

Originally from Waipukurau, Terry worked on a potato farm near Rakaia before moving to Ashburton to help build an orchard.

As well as having an eye for crafts, he was also a keen athlete.

Terry was a good golfer and also enjoyed playing rugby before switching codes to rugby league.

“He was a very physical player,” Ivan said with a laugh.

“A person better to have on your side than against.”

Despite his tough reputation on the field, Ivan said his brother would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it.

“If he had something you liked, it would be yours without you even asking for it,” he said.

Terry’s body arrived in Waipukurau yesterday ahead of his tangi, according to Ivan.

Family and friends were holding up as well as could be expected, he said.

Terry is survived by a partner, six children, his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Baby boom pushes up town’s population By susan sanDys

susan.s@theguarDian.co.nz

Angus McKay

Migrants policy ‘very positive’ From P1 “In Ashburton there is plenty of opportunity for these people to move into their own businesses or upskill themselves for further jobs.”

One of the concerns employers have in the Ashburton District is the number of possible employees they have to choose from, he said.

“The more opportunities they have to get the employee that they want, with the mix of talents that they want, this will give them more opportunity,” he said.

He said he welcomed immigrants into the Ashburton District, and he recognised how much the district benefitted from the opportunities immigrants brought.

Methven’s increasing population is being supplemented further as a baby boom just keeps booming.

Plunket figures released yesterday show Well Child enrolments at the Methven branch have more than doubled in the past nine years, while a baby group started this year already has 40 enrolments.

Methven mum Megan Blackwell recently established the group for those with boys and girls born, and yet to be born, in 2015.

“There’s a huge boom going on,” Mrs Blackwell said.

“There’s so many babies around town at the moment.”

Plunket did not have Well Child enrolment figures for 2015, but figures from 2006 to 2014 show a steady increase from 36 per year to 73 to 79 from 2011 to 2014, peaking in 2012.

Mrs Blackwell said members of the new baby group were mainly locals who had been in the town for a while, but also included some who had recently moved there.

Mrs Blackwell herself had moved to Methven from Auckland as a teenager about 15 years ago, when her mum moved to the town to be closer to a friend who lived in Ashburton.

Her husband was from the area and worked in the agricultural industry, and the couple had three children.

“We wouldn’t want to raise our kids anywhere else,” Mrs

There is plenty of goo-ing and gaa-ing going on in Methven as a new parent group has 40 enrolments so far this year.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 270715-AK-074

Blackwell said, a sentiment she believed was behind many choosing to have their children there.

The town was kid-friendly with good schools, preschools and parent groups, and it was easy to walk or bike anywhere.

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy was not fazed by the number of new babies in the town this year.

“That would be par for the course, that would match our projections,” he said, adding new entrant levels had climbed to 70 this year, up from about 63 last year and 55 the year before.

While the school’s roll sat at

about 225 in the years leading up to 2009, it has since climbed and reached over 300 this school term, and could climb to over 400 in the next three years.

“It’s a constant trend, it’s not a bubble,” Mr Murphy said.

While the growth started with the dairy industry boom bringing more people to the area, it had since broadened into growth in other agricultural industries. Additionally, there were professionals choosing to live in Methven and travel to Ashburton or Christchurch, and the tourism industry was continuing to attract people to the town.

He did not expect the dairy industry downturn would result in less children at the school because converted farms still had the same labour requirements.

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said the boom in enrolments would hit the college in a couple of years’ time, and at the moment the school had spare capacity.

The school’s roll was about 480, and if the steady growth seen at the primary school continued, it could increase to over 600 within 10 years.

Methven’s population at the last census was 1707, up by 309 people since 2006.

■ GROW MID CANTERBURY

Dreaming big for Mid Canty

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

About 20 Mid Canterbury business and tourism representatives attended a brainstorming session held by Grow Mid Canterbury in Methven yesterday.

They were given a licence to dream big for the district, and ideas included installing a chairlift or gondola at the Mt Hutt Bike Park, linking in with Mid Canterbury bike trails, as well as developing a Lord of the Rings theme park at Mt Sunday.

The brainstorming session was one of three workshops being held in association with Grow Mid Canterbury’s development of a Strategic Economic Vision document for Mid Canterbury.

Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley said after the meeting it had been good to get feedback and ideas on the draft plan, and the next step would be finalising it.

The chairlift and theme park ideas were achievable, and they would be explored in the final

plan. He would have liked to have seen more people attend the workshop, but it was a busy time of year for many operators.

High level goals in the draft strategy document include increasing the district’s gross domestic product from $1.7 billion to $3 billion, increasing the population from 31,041 to 40,000, and increasing the district’s four key industry sectors of agribusiness, agribusiness support, tourism and manufacturing to five key industry sectors.

The driving force behind the strategy is to protect and develop the district’s economy, community and resources for future generations.

There will be a further two workshops on the draft strategy.

On Thursday 1pm to 3pm, there will be one on developing our people and business, at Ashburton College, and Friday 1pm to 3pm at the Methven Heritage Centre, on leveraging agribusiness.

As well as visiting local schools and attending a church service, the group got to witness history in the making as

Families and staff of Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch are “disappointed” and frustrated after thieves broke in and stole a safe from the charity.

The burglary happened on Friday night, when someone entered the Cashel Street building, broke into the office and stole the safe, chief executive of Ronald McDonald House South Island Matt Mark said.

The safe contained some cash donations, bank account details and “other documents that we would normally have locked away for security reasons”, he said.

The charity provides free accommodation and support to families of sick children who have to travel to Christchurch for medical care and hospital treatment.

It was “extremely disappointing”, Mr Mark said, and an “unsettling time” for the families and staff who were staying in the house over the weekend.

“Initially when it was discovered on Saturday morning people were a little bit unsettled ... but as we went through the day and over the weekend, probably

people have become a little bit more frustrated and disappointed,” Mr Mark said.

“They just can’t comprehend how or why someone would do that.”

It was not yet known exactly how much money was stolen, but Mr Mark said it was unlikely to have been a significant amount.

“It would have been what we had received over the last couple of days [before Friday],” he said.

“But in charity space every dollar is something that you guard very jealously and that we are extremely thankful for, because it does come from the generosity of the communities that we serve, and you never like to see that generosity undermined in any way.”

A security guard had been stationed at the house over the weekend to give families “peace of mind”, he said, and a review of security measures would be conducted this week.

Police were investigating the burglary, Mr Mark said, and had conducted a forensic examination.

■ METHVEN

Vandals target primary school A bid to celebrate Methven Primary School’s multi-culturalism has been destroyed by vandals – but the pupils aren’t going to let them win.

Pupils had designed and made 14 wooden flags representing all of the different nationalities of students at the school, which were displayed on the school grounds.

However staff and students arriving at school yesterday morning were gutted to find the flags had been snapped and destroyed by vandals, according to principal Chris Murphy.

“The teacher who was in charge of it is devastated,” he said.

“It’s completely senseless.”

The school never usually had to worry about vandalism, he said.

“It’s sad from the aspect that we never have any vandalism at school,” he said.

“Quite often if kids leave

balls or PE gear out, it’s still here when we come back on Monday, so this is definitely something new and something we don’t want.”

However the pupils have banded together and decided they won’t let the vandals beat them, he said.

“They’ve decided they won’t let the vandals win and they’re going to remake them and put them in the same place.”

He believed the flags were destroyed some time during the weekend and had contacted the police.

■ CHRISTCHURCH

Racial abuse claim made

By Scott yeoman An investigation has begun into a racial incident during a club rugby final in Christchurch on Sunday.

The Canterbury Rugby Union (CRU) community rugby general manager Tim Gilkison said the “ very unsavoury” incident, which occurred during the Division 1 Hawkins Trophy rugby final on Sunday afternoon, was brought to his attention yesterday.

“The Christchurch Football Club rang me this morning and informed me that one of their players had been subjected to some racial abuse from the side-line and it was pointed to the extent that he asked to

be subbed off from the field.”

Mr Gilkison said it was Christchurch’s Fijian winger Sake Aca that had received the abuse.

He said the incident had marred what was a “really fantastic event” and said it was not the sort of thing the CRU wanted to see at any rugby fixture.

The CRU had made contact with both Lincoln and Christchurch and Mr Gilkison said the union’s immediate focus was on trying to find the identity of who was responsible for the comments.

“We’re trying to establish whether we can identify [those responsible] through any sources that we’ve got, like

footage of that fixture.”

He said Lincoln University was conducting its own investigation.

Last night in a statement Dr John Hay, Interim Vice-Chancellor of Lincoln University, said they were of the understanding that it was member of the public standing on the grass embankment that made the racially abusive comments.

“Lincoln University in no way condones behaviour of this kind in any sporting code and is saddened to hear that this occurred at the rugby match.

“The University will work with the Canterbury Rugby Football Union, as well as conducting our own internal in-

vestigation.”

Mr Hay said the university had also made contact with the Christchurch Rugby Club to check on the welfare of the player concerned.

“It is always a shame when the ill-considered actions of one person can spoil what is otherwise a great occasion” Mr Gilkison said this was not the first rugby racial abuse incident in Christchurch this year.

“It isn’t the first time that we’ve been aware of it this season, in fact … it made the headlines out in Southbridge with a Fijian player out there who obviously had been subjected to something similar over a number of games.

New principal settles in at Chertsey School A fresh new face has taken over the top job at Chertsey School.

First-time principal Sean Wansbrough has made the move from North Otago to take over the role left vacant

by Kerrin Lester, who now works at Allenton School.

After aspiring to take on the challenge of being a principal for some time, Mr Wansbrough took the plunge and is now into his second week at Chertsey School.

“It’s a great community, the school’s got a really good feel,” he said.

The 40 minute commute to work from Christchurch might have put some people off, but for Auckland native Mr Wansbrough, it’s simply a chance to relax.

“I’ve got friends who live in Auckland who say “it only took me an hour to get to work today”,” he said with a laugh.

This is his first job in the Mid Canterbury area, having previously worked as deputy principal at Papakaio School in

Police said the family of the 40-yearold man were “understandably upset” and were being supported by police and Victim Support. Mr Stewart was driving his motorcycle on Pound Road near Savills Road around 5pm last night when the crash happened. The death has been referred to the coroner. The driver and sole occupant of the van was not injured in the crash.

Serco exceeded performance target levels

By DaviD FiSher

In brief

has exceeded its target levels in every area.

The figures claim the company is keeping the level of serious assaults below the minimum accepted standard under the contract.

The contract stipulates that serious assaults in the prison do not occur at a rate higher than 0.9 per 100 prisoners over the course of a year.

The reported rate at Mt Eden, for the nine months to March, was 0.74. On a prison population of 960, that means

about seven prisoners were considered victims of serious assaults.

The rate of assaults for the previous year was lower with about five prisoners falling victim to serious assaults.

Over the past week, cases have emerged of prisoners being transported from the Serco prison to other institutions arriving with serious injuries.

The Weekend Herald reported a case in March this year in which a prisoner sent to Manawatu prison was found to

be needing urgent hospital care when he arrived.

Corrections chief executive Ray Smith told Radio NZ this morning Serco faced $500,000 in financial penalties over prisoner mistreatment. The figure was likely to increase as the department investigated, he said.

“We haven’t worked our way through all of that yet, we need to review all of the footage and get better understanding of some of the incidents, but I expect more penalties to follow.”

A controversial student-run car rally, slammed in previous years for drunken rioting and offence caused to Islam and women, will go ahead this year but only with rigorous screening of entries, organisers have confirmed. The RoUndie 500, successor to one of the world’s most infamous annual student events, the Undie 500, will have increased monitoring of car themes and participant costumes following a review of issues that arose after last year’s event.

Students on the pub crawl around Canterbury were criticised for cars and costumes last year for themes that included Islam, Malaysia Airlines and Ebola. But after a review, organisers University of Canterbury Engineering Society (Ensoc) said the event would proceed on September 18 in a “fun, safe and respectful manner”.

OUR VIEW

A welcome boost for regions Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he chance to welcome new, potentially longterm migrants to Mid Canterbury could be a welcome fillip to provincial growth so often slowed by the lack of skilled staff.

The measures announced over the weekend could lead to an influx of fresh ideas and fresh business let-alone new waves of new people ready to fill vacant, productive positions.

The changes include giving skilled workers who take jobs in the regions more points in the immigration points system than if they chose to work in migrant-rich Auckland.

Those who set up businesses will get even more points and all migrants will also have to stay in the region for at least 12 months rather than the current three to get their points.

On the face of it, this starts to answer recurrent calls from local businesses for something to be done to encourage more migrants to potential-rich Mid Canterbury.

We have good form on immigration. International migration accounted for about 60 per cent of Mid Canterbury’s population growth between 2006 and 2013.

Hard-to-fill dairy, construction, fabrication and manufacturing jobs have been filled with migrants from the Philippines and Eastern Europe, yet vacancies remain.

The dairy slowdown will almost certainly have an effect on dairy vacancies but the province remains a tapestry of economic opportunity whose fuel will be willing workers.

Businesses have struggled to find the willing workers they need from elsewhere in New Zealand as the skilled, professional and the ambitious look north and to the cities.

It would be naïve to think migrants do not think the same way. After all, Auckland and even Christchurch offer different opportunities and large migrant communities.

Twelve months enhances the chances a migrant will settle here but it is not a cast-iron guarantee. Opportunities, wages and an enduring welcome will help ensure 12 months is better than a small price to pay for residency before moving north.

YOUR VIEW Council sick leave Is it correct that the Ashburton District Council has offered its staff “Free Membership” of the council’s new gym in exchange for them surrendering three days sick leave entitlements?

Is this legal? Does the council (and indirectly we, as rate payers), have to pay Fringe Benefit Tax on these arrangements?

Tony Williams Ashburton District Council Group Manager Service Delivery Neil McCann responds: Yes, the Ashburton District Council has offered permanent employees membership at the EA Networks Centre gym in exchange for three days of sick leave.

The rationale behind this offer is that it will boost the health and wellbeing of staff and, as a result, staff will not need to take as much sick leave.

The council consulted on the le-

CRUMB

gality of the offer from the outset and found that it is exempt from Fringe Benefit Tax. As a result of improving the health of staff, it should also improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the council.

EA Networks Centre It’s great to see the EA Networks Centre is having success and exceeding its targets (business booming at EA Networks Centre, July 25).

Surely that will mean we can look forward to a drop in our rates with the ‘bills’ being paid off earlier.

But I think [Ashburton District Council sports facilities manager] Steve Prescott needs to take a walk around town and visit the other gyms and see that his statement is in fact wrong.

They ARE drawing clients from other gyms, they HAVE

by David Fletcher

drawn them away. And I imagine some of those gyms are struggling because of it. That is an unfair and somewhat arrogant statement to make.

But it also makes me question: if the gym alone has over 1000 members and say they pay the minimum $13 each a week, over a year that is $676,000, so why then will it need to be ratepayer money that pays to outfit Sports House?

Surely if the centre is doing so well it can pay for the renovations itself ?

Name withheld by request

Parks service Generally speaking the purpose of a business is to generate a profit, that being the case, perhaps someone could enlighten me as to how our ratepayer owned parks department achieves that aim?

I don’t recall having been

charged for admiring the gardens in our domain and reserves.

Could it be that parks and gardens are not really a business, which some councillors believe they are, but are in reality a ratepayer funded service to the community?

Speaking of ratepayers, of which I am one, will it not cost me even more money if the gardens perish for lack of water during the summer (Parks staff seek hosing exemption, July 27)?

It is tough enough having to repair my own garden after a dry spell without having to fund the repair of my ratepayers’ gardens as well.

If the water is available let us protect our (the ratepayers) assets, rather than deluding ourselves that someone else will pay to repair the damage caused by lack of water.

Health, safety – some way to go T he long awaited report back to the Select Committee on the Health and Safety Reform Bill has now occurred.

We don’t totally know what we are getting. The Labour Party will be opposing the legislation. The Council of Trade Unions doesn’t like it.

The Government has signalled a Supplementary Order Paper to amend the Bill before it goes through its final stages before becoming law and there are regulations to be drafted to sit under the eventual Act as well.

Besides this, WorkSafe New Zealand has considerable discretion how it implements the new Act and the interpretation courts put on the sections and regulations will keep a whole lot of lawyers busy for some years to come.

What we do know though is positive. The politicians on the select committee have shown they have listened to the submissions, in one form or another, of thousands of hardworking New Zealand farmers on what will work, what might work, and what is plain silly.

Katie Milne

FROM THE FARM

What is clear, is we have achieved recognition that farmers can’t realistically be held accountable for accidents to people who are on the farm and the farmers can’t alert those visitors to the risks.

Federated Farmers and Fish and Game New Zealand may disagree on many things, but we are of one mind on this issue.

The Bill now acknowledges the difference between an industrial site and a farm where it is part of our culture for people to use the farm for a whole range of recreational activities.

Liability to recreational visitors is only to extend to where farm work is actually being carried out on that part of the farm at the time.

Farm buildings and their immediate surroundings will

be a workplace, but not the farm itself, unless there is work being done at the time in that particular location.

The farmer’s home is not a workplace.

For other people who come on to the farm to work however, the situation is less clear.

From an equity point of view, it makes no sense for a farmer to be liable for an accident to a contractor doing specialist work on the property, such as tree felling.

It is appropriate that the farmer check off the forester’s credentials first, but expecting a farmer to know all about what is safe or unsafe in a specialist area, such as in forestry, is quite simply unreasonable.

In particular, the responsibilities of a farm owner towards the activities of a sharemilker are a major area to be tidied up.

The Council of Trade Unions has made much about the removal of an obligation for a worker representative from smaller scale operations.

The reality though is that this imposes a cost on the obligation to provide formal

training, without necessarily providing for any greater degree of safety on the farm.

It’s another attempt to impose the model of the larger scale industrial urban workplace, or mining operation, into a much smaller scope and less formal farm environment.

Plenty of opportunities have arisen for getting safety training nowadays and the WorkSafe ‘Safer Farms’ toolkit is also useful for guidance on how to make farms safer.

That in the end is what it is about – we do need to reduce the accident and injury rate on farms.

Relying on regulatory formulas has not so far worked very well to achieve that. The Government has in effect acknowledged this.

By doing so, it has challenged farmers to find non regulatory means – i.e. smart ways – to reduce the frequency with which we have accidents and injure and kill ourselves on farms.

The buck stops with us.

In brief

■ SOMALIA

Hotel bombing toll 13 Somalia’s Shebab insurgents have killed at least 13 people in a suicide bombing at a hotel in the capital Mogadishu.

“The devastation was huge, and so far 13 people, all of them innocent civilians, have been confirmed dead,” government security officer Ahmed Ali said of the attack.

“Some of the wounded died last night, while other bodies were recovered under the wreckage of nearby buildings.”

The Jazeera Palace hotel is home to the diplomatic missions of China, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and popular among Somali government officials and foreign visitors.

Initial reports put the death toll at six.

Beijing said yesterday one of its embassy staff was killed and three others slightly wounded.

The suicide vehicle attack, the latest in a string of bomb blasts and killings in the wartorn Horn of Africa nation, came as US President Barack Obama left neighbouring Kenya and headed to Ethiopia, both key nations contributing troops to the African Union force battling the al-Qaeda-affiliated group.

The White House strongly condemned the attack, describing it as “abhorrent”.

The hotel has also been the target of Shebab attacks in the past, including in 2012 when suicide bombers stormed the building while President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was inside.

Mohamed condemned the attack.

Turkey won’t send ground troops in to neighbouring Syria, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says.

“We do not want to see (Islamic State) on our border,” Davutoglu was quoted as saying by Istanbul’s Hurriyet daily yesterday. Turkey has launched a two-pronged “anti-terror” cross-border offensive against jihadists and Kurdistan Workers Party militants after a wave of violence in the country, pounding their positions with air strikes and artillery.

Five dead in attack Indian security forces continue to battle an armed attack on a police station near the Pakistan border which has left at least five people dead. Authorities have confirmed two police officers and three civilians have been killed in the siege in the northern state of Punjab. At least seven more have been injured. Witnesses say fierce firing can be heard around the station, in the town of Gurdaspur, bringing panicked residents onto the streets.

“This was an attack on a symbol - the Jazeera Hotel was a place where the international community met their counterparts in Somali politics, business and civil society,” he said in a statement yesterday.

“But I have a message for the terrorists: the Jazeera Palace will be rebuilt and it will very

soon be back in business.

“That is how we respond to callous attacks such as this attacks that, as is so often the case, harm only innocent Somali citizens and our international colleagues who are here to help.”

Shebab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage said the

bombing was in revenge for an African Union and Somali government offensive against Shebab bases in southern Somalia launched earlier this month.

“We are happy about their deaths,” Rage said, calling the joint forces fighting the Shebab a “satanic military”.

Confession over 18 tube murders ‘covered up’ Police covered up a man’s confession that he pushed 18 people to their deaths on the London Underground, a former detective has claimed.

Geoff Platt said convicted killer Kiernan Kelly told police he committed the murders, but it was hushed up due to fears it would cause panic among the public.

Kelly, a vagrant known for drunken acts of violence, claimed to have pushed most of his victims on to tracks on the Northern Line in the 1970s.

Mr Platt, 60, said he first met Kelly when he questioned him over the murder of another homeless man in a jail cell scuf-

No Turkish troops

fle in 1984. Picked up by police for a robbery, Kelly was angry that his cellmate William Boyd was snoring.

Mr Platt said: ‘Kelly knocked him on to the floor and jumped on his head, kicked him around a bit to make him shut up. Eventually he wrapped his socks around his head and strangled him.’

During the subsequent interview, Kelly appeared ‘proud’ of the attack and also confessed to the 18 Tube murders, MailOnline reported.

Former Met detective Mr Platt added: ‘[Kelly] was loaded with adrenaline, he was loaded with testosterone, he

couldn’t stop talking and he came out and started telling everything.

‘We actually started to think it was b*******. There was a certain caution in some respects.’

Mr Platt was assigned to investigate his claims, and realised there were several reported suicides on the Tube where Kelly had been at the scene.

‘What immediately came to notice was that there were a number of people who jumped off the platform into the Northern Line,’ he said.

‘But what especially smacked you in the face was every time someone jumped on the track ...

Kelly was right next to him.’

Despite the seriousness of the allegations, police decided not to brief the press or public due to concerns passengers would be too scared to ride the Tube.

Mr Platt told a newspaper yesterday: ‘It was a cover-up.

Think about it, the police don’t want it getting out - there would be mass panic. They didn’t want people knowing a serial killer got away with pushing innocent people on to the tracks, they’d be afraid it could happen again.’

Mr Platt details the claims in his book, The London Underground Serial Killer.

A Zimbabwean hunter who helped shoot dead a huge lion that was a favourite with visitors in the country’s Hwange National Park has said he did not realise it was a wellknown lion and was “devastated” at the mistake. The death of Cecil, who was about 13, has been strongly criticised by conservation groups.

The animal was lured about half a mile out of the national park using bait and then shot with a bow and arrow. He was found wounded by the hunters the following morning and killed, before being beheaded and skinned.

Trade deal blasted The Maritime Union of Australia is willing to use its power over the country’s ports to disrupt a new free trade deal with China. MUA Queensland branch secretary Bob Carnegie says his union controls all imports and exports and they’re prepared to act against the deal, which is aimed at “breaking the back of trade unionism”. “All it needs is a phone call and the Maritime Union of Australia will stand by any worker anywhere, who is fighting for a free and better Australia,” he told a feisty Brisbane rally yesterday.

Escalator kills mum A woman has been killed after she plunged through an access cover of an escalator in a Chinese department store, thrusting her toddler to safety as she fell to her death. Xiang Liujuan, 30, was holding her son in front of her as they went up the stairway, the Wuhan Evening News said. Security camera footage of the incident posted online showed a panel in the floor giving way as Xiang stepped off the escalator. As she fell half-way through she pushed her son forward, and a nearby shop assistant dragged him to safety.

But the escalator continued rolling, and several seconds later Xiang is seen disappearing downwards into the mechanism, despite one of the staff briefly grabbing her hand. It took firefighters more than four hours to cut open the machine and recover the woman.

thing. They have slightly different rules but they are still getting a lot of overseas investment.

“There are reports of bus loads or bus tours from China and India, going out to the suburbs and buying properties, about 10km from the CBD,” Barnett said.

The Government has rejected a foreign buyer’s register but a law change due to come into effect in October will give more

information.

Barnett pointed to the value of foreign investment but said he favoured residential rules which encouraged new housing being built.

“I believe that overseas investment is good for New Zealand but I believe it should only be in new construction.

“The overseas investors should have to build new houses, not buy into the existing housing stock. That creates

shortages. “Then, if overseas investors come to New Zealand and develop houses, they are adding to the housing stock. I think that’s a good thing. But I acknowledge those are not the rules in New Zealand currently,” Barnett said.

“I approve of Inland Revenue’s new rules from October that all buyers must have an IRD number.

“Those controls are good because property values have traditionally risen over a long term and speculators should pay tax.

“I believe people should be taxed on the profits they make from a business and if it is your business to buy and sell houses, you should have to pay tax on that.

“Overall, there is nothing to fear. New Zealand needs overseas investment to help drive our economy,” Barnett said.

His comments came after Thompson - who is managing director of Barfoot & Thomp-

FMA issues first stop order against firm

BY FIONA ROTHERHAM The Financial Markets Authority has issued its first stop order under the Financial Markets Conduct Act against Green Gardens Finance Trust Limited (GGFT) which has been taking deposits from people for Auckland property investments without complying with the law.

The FMA says it started investigating the Auckland company following a referral and sent repeated requests to it for information but received no reply.

It is warning people to be wary of doing business or depositing money with the company but has no evidence so far

of anyone having lost money.

The stop order, the first since the FMC Act took effect last year, prevents the company from offering, issuing, advertising and accepting applications and contributions for debt securities until the Act has been complied with.

Green Gardens Finance has been offering debt securities for a minimum $50,000 for fixed returns varying from 10 to 12 per cent per annum for one to three-year periods without having the required product disclosure statement and a trust deed.

The company’s website said the investment would be part of a “Green Gardens Trust Fund” for the purpose of property de-

velopment in the Auckland region.

The FMA can issue a stop order under the Act if someone offers investments that don’t comply with the law.

“Green Gardens Finance is offering investments illegally and this stop order requires the company to comply with the relevant laws and warns people not to give money to the company,” FMA’s director of regulation Liam Mason said.

Green Gardens Finance Trust, which changed its name from Southpac Finance Trust Limited, has put up a “coming soon” on the home page of its website, ggfinance.co.nz.

Westpac has denied a mass restructuring is under way with hundreds of jobs on the line.

First Union general secretary Robert Reid said he had received a tip that hundreds of Westpac staff faced losing their jobs “but the bank is still denying that it is large-scale”.

“There [is] some restructuring and some redundancies we know that are happening in some of the branches and we’re involved in that, but it’s nowhere near the numbers that some media are mentioning.

“We have asked Westpac and they have denied some of the numbers being mentioned – 600, 700 or 800 – they have denied that there’s anything like that either going on, or in the wind.

“Possibly there’d be around 20 or 30 involved that we’re aware of at the moment.

“It’s almost ongoing, there’s always some restructuring. At the moment for us it’s nothing out of the ordinary, but it is on the other hand very concerning that we hear rumours about something a lot bigger.”

son - said during an interview for the Herald’s upcoming Mood of the Boardroom chief executives’ survey that it was time for a register of foreign buyers in the residential housing market.

Labour recently used leaked sales figures from Barfoot & Thompson to underpin its claim that too many overseas buyers dominated by Chinese were acquiring residential properties and adding to the Auckland housing price spiral.

Thompson said Labour’s claims were in excess of reality. “But I think there does need to be some form of establishing where these buyers are actually coming from.”

He is disappointed that Labour - to whom he earlier this year extended an open door to come and talk about the Auckland housing market - did not approach him before going public with their conclusions.

“I would not see it as a negative. We need statistics to help manage the country.

“I don’t think it would change anything. I would not be out of favour of it. There would be mixed views throughout the industry, but not a not of negatives,” Barnett said.

Labour’s data pointing to large numbers of Chinesebased buyers speculating on Auckland residential properties did not surprise Barnett.

Sharemilkers are starting to come under some big pressure, according to Will Grayling.

■ DAIRY

Somber mood at Feds meeting

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

A subdued mood pervaded the recent Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers meeting with the president describing the current dairy situation as “misery”.

Willy Leferink told members he had never received Fonterra milk statements with zeros on

them in his entire New Zealand dairy career. He again urged farmers to “stop and chat” to each other and to be aware of neighbours, particularly if their behaviour changed.

Mr Leferink also encouraged Fonterra to “look forward again” – and not look backwards “to see if someone is going to put a

knife in their back”.

“We need Fonterra more than we realise.” He believed the drop in prices had been coming for a long time and that farmers had been guilty of forgetting they could decrease.

However, in five months dairy farmers should start to see an improvement in the world stock-

pile, he said. In the United Kingdom almost 400 dairy farmers have been quitting every month, he reported. “They are screaming in England now.”

Milk prices in Britain were only $1.53 per litre and were not much better in Europe, so New Zealand farmers were not the only ones suffering.

“There’s a lot of negative thinking at the moment so I think it’s good to get going … the grass will grow and milk will flow.”

Sharemilker section chairman Will Grayling said sharemilkers were starting to come under some big pressure, but it was not unknown.

Medicines may become vet-only

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

A Ministry of Primary Industries document is raising the ire of a dairy farming leader who believes it could eventually mean all medicines for livestock will have to be administered by a registered vet and dispensed on a case-by-case basis.

Under the current Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act, farmers can buy antibiotics from vets and hold them until such time as they are needed – but, after reading the document, Federated Farmers dairy chairman Andrew Hoggard said that might be about to change.

“The language isn’t clear but from my reading I take it as meaning that farmers will be severely restricted as to what drugs they can have on farm to treat cows, which to my mind could have serious implications around the timeliness of treatment – which could have big animal welfare implications.”

The document summarises submissions by vets for an amendment to the act on a notice covering the recognition of veterinarians.

In it MPI states it considers the common practice of vets authorising the purchase of registered vet medicines in anticipation of use as unacceptable as it “undermined the risk management meant to be achieved by restricting access in the first place”.

MPI wants the draft notice to re-iterate that it has imposed restrictions on sale, purchase and use of restricted veterinary medicines because it considers a vet’s professional judgement was essential.

MPI also said, in principle, vets should always identify the animals that require treatment and refer to the consultation

Andrew Hoggard

in which the vet determined that the animals should be treated.

“However, this must be tempered by the reality of herd/flock management.”

When the Guardian asked MPI for a response, senior communications advisor Nikki Prendergast said updating the notice would not materially change the previous recognition of veterinarians nor the use of medicines.

“There are no changes to the requirements for veterinarians responsible for authorising restricted veterinary medicines. The Veterinary Council are primarily responsible for ensuring veterinarians are compliant with the Veterinarians’ Code of Professional Conduct and MPI are responsible for ensuring compliance to the conditions of registration that apply to all veterinary medicines.”

NZ Veterinary Council chairwoman Janet Eden said it was her understanding there was no change at present to vet obligations.

However, Mr Hoggard said “they may say they won’t implement it now but that doesn’t give me any comfort. I definitely don’t want to see what I’m reading come to pass”.

If medicines were restricted or farmers had to wait for vets to administer drugs in the future, there would be dead cows and stressed farmers, he said.

One-on-one support offered Industry body DairyNZ is offering one-on-one support to help dairy farmers grow and harvest an extra tonne of pasture which could be worth an extra $30,000 of milk income in the lead-up to Christmas.

Farmers nationwide can register for a visit from a DairyNZ expert who will review their early spring grazing management, talk through a plan and, if needed, give guidance on where to next.

DairyNZ chief executive Tim Mackle said the visits would help farmers gauge whether they are on track during the critical spring period.

“Analysis shows that if the amount of pasture eaten is increased by one tonne of dry matter per hectare (DM/ha) an extra 30-40 cents of milk income per kg of milksolids can be generated, by either reducing the need to source feed off the farm or increasing milk production with the same inputs,” Dr Mackle said.

“Pasture management offers the opportunity to improve returns by increasing income without increasing costs.

“Grass has already been paid for and growing and utilising it well has always given the New Zealand farmer an advantage – it makes sense to focus on this area and minimise the need for boughtin feed.”

The visits will run throughout August.

“We wouldn’t be doing this unless we knew it could make a difference. Good early spring grazing management provides a platform for capturing this additional one tonne of dry matter per hectare before Christmas,” Dr Mackle said.

The visits are not designed to replace comprehensive feed management services already provided by farm consultants to many dairy farmers.

The one-on-one visits are part of DairyNZ’s Tactics campaign, designed to help farmers cope with the low milk price, recover faster and build resilience.

Dairy farmers can register for their one-on-one visit, funded through the milksolids levy, at dairynz.co.nz/visit.

Spaces are limited so farmers are urged to book in early.

An almost 25,000 kilogram dry matter per hectare maize crop took out the annual Five Star Beef Top Maize Grower award last week.

Grown by Tim Porter at Pendarves the 24,911kg DM/ha crop reached 46 per cent dry matter and had a cob/stovia ratio of 65 per cent with a cob yield of 16,085. Runners-up were David and Leonie Rollinson with a 23,999kg DM/ha

yield with third place going to Phil Molloy with a yield of 23,677kg DM/ha.

On average Five Star Beef said the top 10 yields were 9 per cent higher than last season’s top 10 yield with cob yield and the cob/stovia ratio considerably higher than the previous season.

Overall good harvest conditions resulted in the second best yielding season to date.

Dairy The region enjoyed a better weather week, as winds and lack of frosts at lower altitudes ensured the winter feeding routines progressed efficiently.

Some early calves are now being seen, as most now countdown to this busy period of the year, and magnesium supplementation is now part of the daily chores to prevent metabolic issues.

Reports suggest more surplus dairy beef calves will be reared, as managers look for any extra income to supplement the predicted unsustainable payout and some owners have gone back milking, to reduce costs further.

DairyNZ has launched a campaign to help farmers grow and utilise more pasture in a drive to return farmers to the low cost pasture driven producers that gave them a global advantage in the past.

The market news continues to worsen, as Open Country Cheese slashed its forecast to $3.65-$3.95, and fortnightly Oceania milk powder pricing drops to yearly lows.

All bank analysts have also reduced their estimates, although a wide variation of $1.20/kg reflects differing levels of confidence among these institutions.

Lamb More small chilled lamb schedule price lifts this week, but little change to the gloomy Chinese and UK markets for NZ product although one processor has suggested lower numbers will increase demand for Christmas orders.

Silver Fern Farms Alpine merino hogget contract has been priced at $6/ kg to continue this creative marketing campaign and reaffirm the importance of this income option for high country

farmers. More signs this week that Silver Fern Farms are close to confirming their capital raising initiatives as they suspend trading on its shares and also announce they are selling their share in a rendering plant in the South Island.

In-lamb ewes are selling at saleyards but are only making about $100/hd, as most sheep farmers take a conservative view on future prospects.

Wool A small North Island auction for mainly early shorn and second shear wools was fully firm on recent values, helped by the lower currency, but low volumes masked the weak demand out of China and Europe at present.

Beef More big beef price rises as global shortages drive demand, and store and prime animals in saleyards have now breached the $3/kg lwt barrier, as farmers with feed chase animals with early finishing potential.

Reports from the US reveal their dairy farmers are also rearing their surplus calves for dairy beef, which will eat into a market NZ producers once claimed as their own.

Deer Some small venison schedule lifts this week as positive demand and a more favourable currency, starts the chilled harvest season.

Industry leaders report they are looking to add further value to the lower priced cuts as the higher end premium is close to an optimum in competition with other proteins.

While we are unable to confirm it, this well-known photograph of early Ashburton shows a cart with a flat deck which, according to historian Dr Maurice Otley, conveyed Ashburton’s night soil to one of the dumping spots near the river. It is parked at the corner of Moore and East streets in the early years of the 20th Century. In the fenced-off area of the green at that point was one of early Ashburton’s few water hydrants.

An essential job, but usually unseen

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

I

am still working through the county council material. I have waded through minutes and cash books and am now on to the “bitsy” end of the collection.

While it has slowed down the progress somewhat, it has provided some really interesting and potentially useful material.

One such group are folders of agreements. Everything from easements over land for water races to the selling of timber cutting rights can be found in these folders which date back to the 1880s.

Occasionally conditions of employment will appear which give an insight into the tasks certain people had to perform as contractors to the council.

These jobs included office cleaner, water ranger and dog registrar as well as a rabbiter.

Probably the one that intrigued me the most was the duties of the night cart man.

For youngsters and townies, the night cart man was a function that was never come across.

Although my childhood home had, for a while, an outside toilet, I never encountered one that did not flush.

I had heard of course of the unenviable man who, with horse and cart, collected the

contents of people’s chamber pots and toilets.

I had imagined that this was a duty from the distant past, but in the agreement folders are the conditions for the removal of night soil for Rakaia dated 1950 to 1953.

Emil Hansen and later John Taylor were charged with emptying the pan of every inhabitant of the township at least once a week and to keep the cart and all the buckets and other equipment clean.

In 1950 he was paid £3 10s a week.

As most of his work was undertaken at night, these men usually had other jobs as well.

Emil, a Danish immigrant, also took on labouring jobs

during the day. While it must have been a ghastly job, I was pleased to read that these men disposed of the contents in pits dug by the council, for the purpose.

Through my reading of road board and county minutes I know it was not always the case.

While Mount Somers had decided to dig a hole very early on, Ashburton itself disposed of waste – human as well as animal – close to the riverbed.

Probably the most bizarre community decision was that of Methven, which simply made a mound in a paddock very close to the school (letters to the newspaper were full of colourful descriptions of the

threat to health that it could cause).

It is a shame that we know so little about such activities as night cart men (and the other position that I wish to know more about – the county scavenger).

The museum has a night-soil pan, but that is all.

People have told me of how the activity was just something that people heard at night – the opening of gates and the banging of doors and clanging of pans.

It was an essential, but possibly thankless task, that wasn’t considered proper to discuss or document.

So perhaps these contracts are all we have.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return - almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 - the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. This week the Ashburton Museum honours: August 4: Vincent Fosbery Nancarrow

In brief Lolohea the man?

Tui Lolohea says he’s ready to step up and play halfback after Shaun Johnson’s season-ending injury.

The Warriors’ catastrophic Saturday night was compounded when head coach Andrew McFadden confirmed the worst fears in the post-match conference. McFadden looked devastated and he could hardly bring himself to say the words “season ending”. The Warriors reshuffled as best they could as Lolohea moved to play in the halves to accommodate the loss of Johnson. “It was difficult for everyone to adjust but I’m ready. Halfback is where I want to play and I’m ready to step up,” said Lolohea. - NZME

Second half ‘disastrous’ Ashburton College first XV rugby coach Dave McCrea can’t find a positive to take out his side’s latest performance in the UC Championship.

The team travelled to Christchurch to take on McCrea’s old school – St Bede’s – and came home with a 72-12 loss to their names.

It was an action packed second half; Ashburton College trailed just 10-7 before St Bede’s crossed for a try shortly before the half time break.

But three tries in just a few minutes opened up a gap, and another three tries just about as quick towards the end, ensured that gap was massive.

“We were under pressure in the first half but we held them out, but obviously we didn’t in the second half,” McCrea said.

Ashburton College did score two tries, to Logan Fleet and Kody Stuthridge, but that was where the good news stopped.

McCrea struggled to find a positive from the game and is

now pinning his hopes on wins in their final two round robin matches against Roncalli and St Thomas’ for his side to stand a chance of making the top eight of the secondary schools’ competition.

Ashburton College will host Roncalli this Saturday at the showgrounds at 11am.

All Blacks ‘the best’ The Wallabies are under no illusions about the challenge of beating the All Blacks to win the Rugby Championship with coach Michael Cheika describing their rivals as the best team by a long way. The Australians rolled Argentina 34-9 to move to the top of the ladder and set up a thrilling finale against New Zealand in Sydney on August 8 with the winner to take the title.

The All Blacks, who over-ran the Springboks earlier in the day, would not be so easy. “It’s very obvious that New Zealand are the best team in the world, and I mean by a long way at this stage.” - AAP

Read made the call All Blacks number eight Kieran Read has revealed that the winning lineout move in Sunday’s 27-20 win over South Africa was his plan.

Trailing 20-17 with seven minutes to play the All Blacks ran a crafty lineout move close to the tryline that saw hooker Codie Taylor throw a ball to Richie McCaw who barged over. Lima Sopoaga converted the try to put the All Blacks out to a 24-20 lead before kicking a penalty on fulltime to seal the win. Read said he thought up the lineout move during the week while watching video of the Springboks. “I came up with it,” Read said yesterday. “It doesn’t normally come off but when it does it’s a good feeling.” - NZME

Quade apologises Wallaby Quade Cooper has apologised for his late-night expletiveladen tweet, saying he reacted to personal criticism following Australia’s Rugby Championship win over Argentina. Cooper was under fire on social media for his performance in the 34-9 win, which included a yellow card in the second half for a late and high tackle on Nicolas Sanchez. Hours after the game Cooper tweeted: “Invite me to you’re next team discussion then ask me how much I give a f*** about your team selection? Zero f***s given”. The tweet was deleted about two hours later.

Vettel ‘wins for Bianchi’ German driver Sebastian Vettel has delivered an emotional high-speed tribute to his late colleague Jules Bianchi as he stormed to victory for Ferrari in a dramatic and incidentfilled Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull pair of Russian Daniil Kvyat and Australian Daniel Ricciardo finished in second and third respectively.

Four-time world champion Vettel claimed his second victory of the season and 41st of his career - drawing him level with the late Brazilian legend Ayrton Senna in equal third on the all-time list - after leading from the start to dominate a thrilling and unpredictable contest.

The ferocity of the contest, lit up by Vettel’s blazing speed

19

and tenacity, served as an appropriate tribute to Frenchman Bianchi, who died on July 17 from injuries sustained when he collided with a recovery vehicle at October’s Japanese Grand Prix. A minute’s silence for Bianchi, a Ferrari academy protege, before the race created an emotional atmosphere that was reflected in the action and in Vettel’s speech to the Ferrari team on his triumphant slow-down lap.

“Merci Jules, c’est a toi,” said the winner. “Thank you Jules, You will always be in our hearts ... This win is for you.”

It was Vettel’s first victory in Hungary, and 21-year-old Kvyat’s first career podium - the best ever by a Russian driver - as Red Bull produced a reminder of their pedigree. It

Fox scores maiden Tour victory He is the first Kiwi to win on the Challenge Tour since Gareth Paddison back in 2007, a victory which also came on French soil.

Fox takes home 32,000 euros ($NZ53,400) for the victory, still less than the $NZ69,000 he

cashed for his share of 49th at last week’s Open Championship.

Leading by three shots at the start of the final round, Fox birdied the closing hole for a twoover 73 to finish on 14-under par, a shot clear of Linard. - NZME

Chris Froome said he felt “incredible” after winning his second Tour de France title yesterday in a competition that has seen him accused of cheating, spat upon and doused with urine. The 30-year-old Briton crossed the line on Paris’s Champs Elysees arm-in-arm with his Sky teammates to clinch a second Grand Boucle crown following his 2013 success. “This is such a great race, what can I say? I feel a lot of emotion,” said Froome. Germany’s Andre Greipel won the final stage of the competition.

Dutch teenager Jos Verstappen finished fourth for Toro Rosso - on a track where his father Jos finished on the podium in 1994 - ahead of twotime champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso who delivered the troubled McLaren Honda team’s best result of the year.

Series leader and defending two-time champion Briton Lewis Hamilton finished sixth, after starting from pole position, for Mercedes to enlarge his advantage in the title race after an afternoon of incidents, mishaps and penalties.

Frenchman Romain Grosjean came home seventh for Lotus ahead of German Nico Rosberg, who suffered a puncture in the closing laps. - AFP Celebration time for Vettel.

Ambrose eyes Bathurst V8 Supercars star Marcos Ambrose believes 2015 is his best ever chance to claim the Bathurst 1000 title. The two-time V8s champion has endured a disappointing return to the sport he dominated before heading to chase his NASCAR dream in the United States.

Ambrose will partner with Scott Pye at the upcoming endurance races, including the iconic Bathurst 1000 and says confidence is high following the recent improvements.

“I’ll do fine at the endurance races,” he said.

ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

28/7

YOUR STARS ARIES (MAR 21-APR 19): You’re good at relating to people who are different from you. Your style works in multiple circumstances. Soft words spoken with firm confidence will produce results.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20): What you don’t understand far exceeds what you do understand.

Recognising all you don’t know is a mark of high intelligence. As for what you do know, you’ll be asked to teach some of that today.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21): You may feel that your efforts are neither focused nor persistent enough to make a difference. But it’s the fact that you’re making an effort at all that makes the biggest difference.

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 22): When it comes to being you, you’re the master. Others will make suggestions you’re not keen on following. You’re not beholden to anyone only to yourself.

LEO (JUL 23-AUG 22): Arrogance is the daddy of all sins. Belittling others is a sign of feeling little inside. When dealing with victims of a superiority complex, just remember pride is often the hallmark of those with the least to be proud of.

VIRGO (AUG 23-SEP 22): If you can’t change your mind, you can’t change anything. That’s why any effort you make to expand your realm of influence should be considered important, even if it seems more like play.

LIBRA (SEP 23-OCT 23): Your thoughts of a certain person make you forget to do ordinary things. That’s how you can tell you’re smitten. When you’re smitten with someone for a long time, it’s even more wondrous.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 21): You have the bright ideas today. But you also have a difficult group of strong-willed people to contend with. When you make it seem like their idea, they like it.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22-DEC 21): You wouldn’t be trying if you didn’t care. That’s what they sense from you now. So don’t worry too much about whether you’re saying or doing it right. It’s a beautiful day when your good intentions effortlessly shine through.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 19): You’re not dreaming it. There really is a lack of organised creativity out there. You’re just the one to capture and apply the stellar ideas before they drift off into the ether.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 18): Reconsider your contacts. It’s not who you know; it’s who you can influence. Knowing someone doesn’t count for much if that person isn’t willing to support you.

PISCES (FEB 19-MAR 20): The thing about exceptional accomplishments is that after a brief moment of glory you begin to worry about what is expect next. Keep doing the work that makes you happy.

Above: Short-course winner Matthew Clough powers to the finish line in the second race of the NBS Ashburton Duathlon Series on Sunday.

Right: Kelsey Ashworth was the first woman home in Sunday’s duathlon.

Duathletes do it tough Fine but windy conditions made the going tough in Sunday’s second race of the Ashburton Duathlon Series, but all enjoyed the tail wind home on the bike leg.

From the start Matt Milne and David Fitch set the pace on the run and Sam Letham was doing his best to stick with the fast tempo.

At the transition to the bike it looked like Milne and Fitch had a big enough lead to hold off Letham and Marc Prutton, race one’s second and third place getters, but out on the bike the wind took its toll and Letham and Prutton were too strong for Milne and Fitch.

Letham was off the bike with

a good lead going into the final run but Prutton was making sure he didn’t have it easy and cut into Letham’s lead throughout the final 2.5km, with Letham winning by 33 seconds and Milne holding on to third, 21 second behind Prutton.

In the ladies’ race Samantha Owles showed good form with her run and bike to lead Martina Fellmann at the finish line to win by 1.53 minutes. Karli Haugh was not far behind, having a good battle with Katherine Fitch.

In the short course race Matthew Clough was strong, running with the long course runners.

Out on the bike his lead was clawed back by Steve Caldwell, although Caldwell couldn’t foot it with Clough in the final run.

Clough won comfortably in 31.38 minutes with Caldwell second and Andrew Titheridge running home strongly in third.

In the ladies race Kelsey Ashworth was too strong, winning in 37.41 minutes from Caitlyn Titheridge just 27 seconds back, and Tania Wade in third.

The ladies look to be going to have some good racing throughout the series with Titheridge and Wade improving on their times from race one.

In the teams’ sections there were strong showings in both

the long and short courses.

The long course was taken out by Jeremy Heathfield and Anne Sissons, from Chris Jordon and Steven Kennedy, with Nadine Prutton and Gary Fergusson coming home in third.

Over the short course Rin Sotoyama and Kerry Clough were too strong for Dean Pye and Dave Jackways, and the young-and-old team of Ella Colquhoun and Shona McGrath was third overall.

Race three will be held on August 30.
