‘Potter hard to watch’

British actor Daniel Radcliffe says he finds the earlier Harry Potter films “hard to watch”.

Ever a self-critic, the 24-year-old says his performances in the first few film adaptations of J.K Rowling’s beloved books lack subtlety and skill. “There wasn’t a lot of nuance to my performance when I was young,” he told The South Bank Show. “I find those early films very hard to watch, personally.” Radcliffe, spied for the role of the young wizard while at the theatre with his parents, says the young cast never got acting lessons on set. “We never had an acting coach,” he said. “And there’s times we could’ve done with one. I know I could’ve.” Thankfully, he says he has now got basic script and character analysis techniques down pat. In particular, Radcliffe credits co-star Gary Oldman with helping him hone his craft.

Lorde backs provocative pop stars Lorde has thrown her support behind provocative pop stars including Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, insisting the depiction of violence in popular culture is a bigger threat to teenage girls than saucy semi-naked singers. The Royals singer, 17, has waded into the debate over whether pop stars with overtly sexual on-stage personas have a negative impact on impressionable young fans. However, Lorde is adamant the glorification of guns is a much more serious issue than famous females who strip off. “People should stop worrying about their daughters,” she tells British newspaper the London Evening Standard.

Eat broccoli for breathing Eating one of the less popular vegetables can help asthmatics breathe easier, researchers have discovered. They say eating up to two cups of lightly steamed broccoli a day can help clear the airways, prevent deterioration in the condition and even reduce or reverse lung damage.

Other vegetables with the same effect include kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and bok choy.

All belong to the cruciferous family of plants that have sepals, flowers and leaves in a cross-like pattern. “Laboratory tests have shown that consumption of broccoli changes the formation of the airway and may make clear breathing easier for those who suffer from asthma and allergies,” said University of Melbourne honours student Nadia Mazarakis. “Blockages in the airway were removed almost entirely.”

Take the plunge anyone?

What do you buy for the person who has everything? How about a submarine? A grey 6.6m Comsub, which the owner says has been used to explore waters near Half Moon Bay and Waiheke Island for the past few years, is for sale. Auckland inventor Hugh Fulton bought the 28-year-old submarine in London five years ago. After exploring the Waitemata Harbour and spending more than $25,000 on a paint job, polishing the decks and repairs, he’s now looking to upgrade. Mr Fulton says the submarine, which comes complete with emergency provisions including a “pee bottle”, is now “ready to dive”. “You can tow it behind your car and drop it into your boat ramp.” The number of views on the Trade Me page was close to 20,000 Thursday night and while some of the website’s users were interested in the design of the submarine, others seemed amused by the unusual auction.

■ CAMPAIGN HAS A HAPPY ENDING

People power brings back Hoops

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

People power has helped to bring local DJ Phill ‘Hoops’ Hooper back to morning radio.

The Radio Network yesterday announced they would be expanding the popular Southland based station Hokonui into Mid Canterbury, with Hoops fronting the 6am to 10am breakfast show, from July 21.

The move comes after disgruntled listeners began a petition and a Bring Back Hoops Facebook page following Classic Hits’ move to become The Hits. That change saw Hoops moved from the 6am to 9am slot to the 9am to 3pm slot.

Listeners were not happy.

They missed Hoops and the local news, views and flavour he brought to their mornings.

Radio Network South Island general manager Lee Piper said that unhappiness was part of the decision to bring Hokonui to Mid Canterbury.

“To be fair we had thought about expanding Hokonui into some other markets for a while, so it didn’t come completely out of the blue for us,” Mr Piper said.

The reaction to the change in Mid Canterbury did not entirely surprise Mr Piper.

He knew Hoops was a firm and long-time part of the Mid Canterbury radio landscape so the passionate response was not unexpected, although Mid Canterbury was the only area to react so passionately to the nationwide change.

“When it comes to local no one is more aligned to the community than Hoops.

It made sense to put him on this brand and we’re look forward to exciting times ahead for Ashburton.”

For Hoops, the change back to mornings and a new station was exciting, and he said he’d been blown away by the support he’d received since moving

to the day-time show.

Hoops said the change would make him feel like part of the community again.

The change to 9am to 3pm had meant he had less interaction with the community and felt disconnected.

He planned on bringing everything back – from the local birthday calls and announcements like cancellations, to the young DJs show featuring kids from local schools.

And he would be on air an hour longer each day than he was previously.

Hoops will front the breakfast show, at lunchtime a farming show will air, and afternoons and weekends are also set to feature local content.

Hokonui – which currently also streams online if Mid Cantabrians want to check it out – will stream on 92.5FM and 96.5FM while The Hits will continue on 89.3FM in the Ashburton township.

When Phill ‘Hoops’ Hooper fronts his first breakfast radio show on Hokonui on July 21, Sharon Livingstone will be listening.

She was one of the people who decided to take a stand when radio station Classic Hits became The Hits and Hoops was moved from the Breakfast show to the 9am to 3pm show.

Along with Ann Craig and Rodger Withell, she started a petition to Bring Back Hoops in the morning and just under 1000 local people signed their name to it.

Hoops’ show was replaced by

a national show fronted by Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama when Classic Hits became The Hits.

To supporters of the petition and a Bring Back Hoops Facebook page, the station had lost its local voice and the vital information that came with it.

But all of those local features – and Hoops – will be back on Mid Canterbury’s early morning airwaves following yesterday’s announcement that popular Southland brand Hokonui will be expanded into the Mid Canterbury region.

It’s news that was music to the ears of those behind the petition.“I’m just over the

moon. I’m really proud of Ann and Rodger and myself,” Ms Livingstone said.

They took a stand, and those at the top listened.

“It was very much worth the whole going and doing the petition; every little bit helps I suppose,” she said.

Many people told them to give the new station a chance, and that they were wasting their time fighting for change, but this was a win for the little people, Ms Livingstone said.

She’s now looking forward to July 21 when Hoops in the morning makes a comeback.

“I’ll be tuned in right from the first minute.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Councillors get 2% pay rise

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s district councillors have been given a pay rise but it won’t see them splashing out and buying champagne.

The Remuneration Authority divvies up the funding pool for all elected members of local authorities and reviews this annually. While the amount councillors receive was determined by the population base they served this has now been changed to

include extra payment for extra responsibilities.

This will see Ashburton’s councillors given a pay rise that will equate to about two cups of coffee each week – about $450 a year.

From July 1 a councillor will receive an annual stipend of $22,400 and a committee chair, $27,979. Mayor Angus McKay’s pay cheque remains unchanged on $95,450 a year.

The council has no input into

how much elected members receive; its only choice is whether or not to accept any pay rise.

On Thursday Ashburton’s councillors had no hesitation in accepting their 2 per cent pay increase.

Vehicle mileage and travel time have long been a sore point with rural councils where some elected members travel long distances to council meetings and on constituency business.

About two years ago a new

system was introduced where no mileage was paid until travel on council business exceeded 30 kilometres on one day. That left a councillor living 10k out of town out of pocket each time he or she travelled to a council meeting unless they included other council travel in the trip.

Likewise with travel time, this is not reimbursed unless a one hour threshold is breached.

If this occurs, reimbursement at $35 an hour is made.

Dozens of Mid Canterbury Moorcroft pottery collectors are expected in downtown Ashburton today when the designer of the Visions of New Zealand range visits.

Moorcroft designer Vicky Lovatt will be at The China Shop in the Arcade from noon to 3pm.

The handcrafted pottery items had a great following in the district.

It was made completely by hand in Staffordshire, England.

The China Shop managing director Sharron Wilson said more than 500 people of various ages including men and women were included on their collector database.

The pottery has been sold in the store since the shop opened in 1979.

“It’s just grown in popularity. We have got a lot of younger clients buying it now which is really good to see because (Moorcroft) are bringing out some really new designs.”

She said the colours used were suited to modern interior décor and each one appealed to different people.

“A lot of people nowadays put them out, they don’t put them in a locked cabinet they have them out on a sideboard. They are no longer a nana thing.”

The designer will talk to members of the public about her designs and vision – how it gets from her mind to the pot. She also had sketches of the process for people to see.

“It’s quite good for Ashburtonians or anyone because if you can’t get to England, they are bringing their works here,” Ms Wilson said.

The limited edition collection was touring New Zealand with seven locations nationwide.

Ashburton was one of two South Island destinations. The other was Kaiapoi.

In brief Glenorchy shooting A firearms incident in Glenorchy on Thursday resulted in a young person suffering an air gun injury to the head, police say. “The youth was flown to Dunedin Public Hospital for treatment. The youth’s condition is described as serious but stable,” a police statement said last night. The investigation into the incident was ongoing. Police said they were called to Glenorchy, about 6pm on Thursday.

Drug charges A former Air New Zealand flight attendant has been charged with importing methamphetamine.

The 49-year-old was arrested at Auckland Airport on May 15, police said last night. He appeared at the Manukau District Court, where he was granted interim name suppression. He will be back in court in late July. Air New Zealand confirmed last night that the man no longer worked for the airline, but denied he had been fired, as was reported earlier. - APNZ

Stabbing arrest A 16-year-old youth has been arrested over a stabbing in Mangere earlier this week. He will appear in the Manukau Youth Court today, charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and injuring with intent to injure over the incident in Wickman Way. Two teenagers were taken to hospital after Tuesday’s incident, which involved students from Southern Cross Campus, a Year 1-13 school.

One suffered a stab wound to the neck, and the other suffered minor injuries. Neither injury was thought to be life-threatening, and the patient suffering from a neck wound was later in a stable condition. The stabbing happened just hours after an 11-year-old student was stabbed at Pacific Christian School, also in Mangere.

Police said the two incidents were not connected in any way. - APNZ

Guilty plea over death A mother has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her young child.

The woman, whose name is suppressed, admitted unlawfully neglecting her child who drowned in a bath in October 2012, when she appeared yesterday in the High Court at Palmerston North.

The young mother came home to find her child in a soiled nappy.

She placed the child in the bath and had two knives on the oven for the purpose of smoking cannabis.

She then went outside with a friend to smoke a cigarette. When she returned after approximately 10 minutes, the child was dead.

She was remanded on bail until a sentencing date can be scheduled.

■ OAG COMPLAINT OVER CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Cr Wilson named in complaint

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton district councillor Stuart Wilson says he is disappointed with the way the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) is handling an apparent complaint against him following an extraordinary bridge meeting on May 22.

The OAG confirmed yesterday questions had been raised about “how conflicts of interest are being managed by several councillors at Ashburton

District Council”. However, a spokesperson refused to comment further and would not say how long an investigation would take if one was launched.

Media reports state Mr Wilson is the councillor at the centre of the complaint to the OAG which has the capacity to investigate pecuniary conflicts of interest as well as non-pecuniary matters under the Public Audit Act. Mr Wilson voted against the recommendation from inde-

pendent commissioners to adopt the land designation for a second Ashburton bridge, however Mayor Angus McKay used his casting vote, ensuring the land designation went ahead.

Although his brother’s farm land will be directly affected by the route, he believed the complainant did not have a strong case as “there’s absolutely no pecuniary interest” with he and his brother severing financial ties about 50 years ago.

Mr Wilson said he decided

■ ASHBURTON PETROL PRICE HIKES

Motorists should fill up now before petrol prices rise to the second highest level ever on the back of a Government tax hike.

The 3 cent rise will be passed on by oil firms on Tuesday, following a 2 cent rise last week.

Last week’s rise was attributed to higher global oil prices due to the crisis in Iraq.

In Ashburton yesterday, it cost $2.209 for 91-octane petrol and $2.28 for 95-octane. In Methven and Geraldine it cost $2.22 and $2.31.

Petrol prices hit their peak last July when it was $2.269 for 91.

Next week’s tax increase will not affect diesel prices, although diesel users will face an increase in road user charges in relation to their vehicle class and weight.

Motorists approached by the Guardian yesterday were philosophical about the change. To a person, they said they would simply have to wear the increase – again.

Stock agent and former dairy farmer Richard Andrews found his current petrol costs were more than

say anything to my face about it,” he said.

“I haven’t heard a thing, they (OAG) didn’t even acknowledge the mail – I’m completely in the dark.”

Mayor Angus McKay said he had not been contacted by the OAG, and the community had the right to contact the office to clarify the behaviour of council members.

He said it was up to individual councillors to decide if they had a conflict of interest.

We hit the streets yesterday to find out how the two petrol price rises would affect our readers.

to vote due to the merit of the situation and not because of relationships, but admitted he would have likely stepped aside if a partner, wife, son or daughter was directly affected.

Mr Wilson was “flabbergasted” after being made aware of the complaint when contacted by a local newspaper, and is yet to hear back from the OAG after contacting them about the claim.

“I’m disappointed they (OAG) didn’t tell me and disappointed someone (complainant) didn’t

what he spent on petrol when he ran his dairy farm.

“I’ve got three daughters who’re driving cars; suddenly my bills get bigger,” Mr Andrews said.

“When you’ve got a few runners it does compound.”

Ashburton Taxis owner Graeme Bentley was realistic about the price hike and was ready to take it in his stride.

“Fuel increases will affect any transport industry,” he said.

It would not affect his passengers though, as prices will remain the same.

He hoped the prices would average out, because it was a matter of keeping customers happy and his business viable.

The New Zealand Automobile Association said motorists could reduce fuel bills and offset the hike by keeping tyres correctly inflated, braking and accelerating gently and switching air conditioning off when not needed.

The rise in petrol will add 90c to a fill of 30 litres, which would amount to around $27 per year for the average driver covering 12,000km.

■ AUCKLAND HIGH COURT

Lawyer admits charges An Auckland lawyer, struck off the register for fiddling with client funds, has yesterday admitted criminal charges laid over his substantial stealing.

Richard Kristian Henry Holland pleaded guilty to three charges of theft and he was bailed until sentencing in the Auckland District Court later this year.

The 57-year-old, the principal at Remuera law firm Holland and Holland, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft of $200,000 from a female client between August 2010 and March 2013.

He also admitted two further charges of theft of about $95,000 through dealing with money contrary to instructions from Law Society inspector Tim Maffey.

These arose over Holland taking fees from money held in his trust account.

A fourth charge of theft was with-

drawn. Earlier this year, Holland was struck off his professional register by the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Tribunal for “misappropriating” client funds.

The victim of the $200,000 theft complained to the Law Society last year about his stealing proceeds from the sale of a property in Mt Maunganui.

According to a Law Society summary, Holland took about $39,000 in fees and “misappropriated” the rest.

He then asked the woman to sign a “sham” loan agreement about the money, designed to conceal his taking it without permission.

The lawyers standards committee said of the fee: “[The woman] was not provided with a proper account and it is difficult to conceive of how that amount could be justified as fees on the sale of a residential property.”

■ GORDON STEPHENSON TROPHY

In brief

Trophy win first for dairying

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

For the first time in its history the coveted Gordon Stephenson Trophy, awarded for environmentally sustainable farming practices has been taken by dairy farmers.

Ealing farmers Mark and Devon Slee were presented the trophy at Thursday night’s Ballance Farm Environment Awards, beating nine other regional finalists in the competition run by the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust.

Their names will be engraved below last year’s winners Craige and Roz Mackenzie, who farm at Methven.

The Guardian caught up with the Slees on their way back to the farm yesterday.

“We are still surprised at how far we’ve got,” Mr Slee said.

“When we first entered the awards it was to promote the dairy sector and get some positive news out there – and we felt we had a story to tell.

“We are really pleased – it’s a good news story for the industry.”

“Dairy farmers are making good profits at the moment, and our business is maturing so we are able to put something back into our business, in terms of sustainability.”

Mr Slee was quick to acknowledge the contribution

Urban, wife split Kiwi actor and Hollywood star Karl Urban has announced that he and wife Natalie Wihongi will separate.

The split was announced last night in a statement issued through a public relations agency. “It is with great regret that we, Karl Urban and Natalie Wihongi, have made the mutual decision to separate,” the statement said. “We are committed to maintaining our family relationship, working together to ensure that our children are affected as little as possible. “We request that people respect our family’s privacy at this time and will be making no further comment.” Urban and Ms Wihongi, who was his makeup artist on TV movie The Privateers, have two sons.

TradeMe bans ‘n’ word

his staff made toward claiming the farming industry’s most sought after piece of silverware.

“We couldn’t do it without our team on the farm, it’s not just about us – it’s a team effort,” he said.

Despite being recognised for running one of the most environmentally sustainable farming operations in the country, the Slees have no plans to sit

back and rest on their laurels.

“We would like to do some research on what we are feeding the cows in the winter, especially fodder beet.

The feed that’s going in the cows is making a difference, and fodder beet is a relatively new crop to New Zealand, although it was around 40 or 50 years ago.

“Fodder beet may be a feed that’s going to have less im-

pact on the environment, especially in the winter when the ground is wet and there are more problems with urine patches but we need to collect some data to prove it.”

The Slees’ ethos is to operate a business that is both profitable and sustainable across the 1014 hectares they farm.

They milk about 2600 cows through three sheds, on a milking platform of 660ha.

Online auction site TradeMe has banned sellers from using the racial slur ‘n*****’ to describe items after the Advertising Standards Authority upheld a complaint.

A complaint was made to the advertising watchdog after an item referred to as an “Awesome Early NZ Greedy N***** Boy Money Box” appeared online. The auction was ordered to be removed from the website. The complainant told the Advertising Standards Authority that they objected to the use of the racial slur, and found it “very offensive”. The ASA complaint’s board said although it had no jurisdiction over the item’s name, using it in the title or in the description of the sale was offensive and breached the Advertising Codes. It noted the word was listed as the second most offensive word in the most recent Broadcasting Standards Authority’s survey.

■ DUCK SHOOTING SEASON

■ WORLD’S BEST WEDDING VENUES

Hunters call for southerlies to activate the ducks

Barn one of world’s top wedding spots

By ToNi WilliaMs

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury duck hunters are waiting for blustery southerly winds to ruffle up some feathers and help them nab a few birds.

The hunting has been “reasonably quiet” since opening on May 3.

Fish and Game Central South Island officer Mark Webb said the weather had had an impact.

“We haven’t had the southerlies coming through and that’s what hunting after opening weekend needs, the southerlies get hunters motivated to go out in the morning and hunt,” he said.

A southerly meant the birds did not go out to sea but instead kept moving and flying low.

“I’m sure if we got a couple of southerlies in the next

month then there would be a bit of a flurry of activity.”

Mr Webb said most ranging after opening weekend had been limited and there had been no more offences recorded.

Most hunters after opening weekend were dedicated to the sport and less likely to break the rules.

“It’s what we expected with our opening weekend ranging … and since then pretty quiet.”

In Mid Canterbury eight hunters over the opening weekend issued for offences and had firearms and shot seized. They also received offence notices and fines.

There was one accidental shooting of a 44-year old man on opening morning in the North Island.

Another 44-year old man faced a charge of careless use

of a firearm causing injury.

Mr Webb said there had been an increase in popularity with hunting over the years.

“In our region licence sales have increased steadily over the past five years, it’s up about five per cent per year.

“So where we did have 1800 licence holders five years ago, we now have 2300,” he said.

At least half of those were in the Mid Canterbury district and included people on junior (12 to 16 years) and adult licences.

It bode well for getting new hunters into the sport, he said.

The main duck hunting season finished July 27, but Paradise Shell Duck season continued until the end of September.

There was also a mid-summer duck shooting season on this year’s licence which opened in February.

By VoMle spriNgford What do a Featherston barn, a 17th century English barn and a Tuscan villa dating back to the 13th century have in common?

They are some of the best barn wedding venues in the world, according to popular wedding blog Bridal Musings.

Tarureka Estate’s restored barn in Featherston is not just any old barn – it is a heritage-listed building built in 1868 by Wairarapa pioneer James Donald.

And its rich history and rustic charm is part of what makes it such a popular place to get married, said manager Helen Forlong.

“I think people just love that rustic look.”

It is built from Totara which Ms Forlong said creates a beautiful atmosphere for a wedding.

It originally housed horses, as part of the estate set up by Mr Donald and his wife Elizabeth to run dairy farms and the Tarure-

ka Butter Factory. Mr Donald trudged over the Rimutakas from Upper Hutt every weekend buying pieces of land to start the farms.

The eight-acre estate also has an historic homestead and cottage for guests and four acres of gardens.

Ms Forlong said it hasn’t changed much, thanks to generations of the Donald family who have maintained and protected its heritage.

“The children’s horses’ names are still carved into the stalls.”

She said to be listed alongside other beautiful venues around the world was very flattering.

The venue is so popular it is booked out during summer, the wedding season, until 2016, she said.

Ms Forlong, said she was trying to encourage winter weddings because it was just as beautiful as in summer and there weren’t as many bookings.

■ MEASLES EPIDEMIC

People urged to immunise

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Mid Cantabrians have so far missed the measles infection as it continues in the North Island.

But people were urged to get immunised to prevent potential spread.

Immunisation was the best form of prevention as the only treatment for the highly infectious disease was to relieve symptoms.

The Ministry of Health said 222 cases of measles had been reported in New Zealand since December.

All the cases were in the North Island – Auckland (113), Waikato (87), Bay of Plenty/ Lakes (15), Wellington (four)

and Hawke’s Bay (three).

Rangitata MP, and associate health minister, Jo Goodhew urged people to immunise against measles to stop its spread, especially as the school holidays approached.

She said of the more than 200 cases so far, the majority had been children and teenagers aged 10 to 19 years old.

“Measles is highly preventable with immunisation, so it would be a great shame for children or their caregivers to end up catching it during the holidays,” Mrs Goodhew said.

The school term finished on July 4.

“Families often travel during the school holidays, so immunisation will not only protect you

MEASLES SYMPTOMS ■

■ ■

Measles begins with fever, conjunctivitis (red eyes), runny nose and small irregular bright red spots with a small white speck on the inside of the mouth.

Diagnosis was confirmed by a nasal swab or blood test.

Immunisation for measles was done in the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccination given at 15 months and four

and your children, but help ensure that we don’t spread measles,” she said.

The Ministry of Health reported measles outbreaks in several countries including the

■ ■

years of age.

It was part of the free childhood immunisation programme.

People who felt unwell should telephone their doctor for advice. It was important to call first before seeing a doctor because measles was highly infectious and people with measles could infect others in the waiting room.

Philippines, Australia, Europe, UK, Africa, Asia, India and North America.

Most of New Zealand’s cases had been linked to international travel.

■ HAMPSTEAD SCHOOL

Students treated to a musical masterclass Hampstead School pupils were treated to a musical masterclass yesterday.

Five members from the

Christchurch Symphony Orchestra descended on the school, playing their instruments in front of the 350-odd

pupils and allowing them the chance to try out the flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon and viola on show.

The visit was due to the school’s affiliation with the Mid-South Canterbury Community and Aoraki trusts.

Moves to make Mother Aubert a saint The process is under way to create Wanganui’s own saint.

A seminar and exhibition about Suzanne Aubert, known as Mother Mary Aubert, will be held in the city next month as the Catholic Church moves forward with the process to declare her a saint, or holy person.

If she does become a saint, she will be the first New Zea-

land saint, although Australian Mary McKillop, who became a saint in 2010, had strong ties to New Zealand.

Twenty quilts inspired by Mother Aubert will be exhibited at St Mary’s Church

by Ohakune quilter Merrilyn George from July 12-18, and Sister Jo Gorman, an archivist with the Sisters of Compassion, will give a seminar about

Mother Aubert’s significance to Wanganui on July 12.

Mother Aubert (1835-1926) first came to New Zealand from France in 1860 and spent 16 years – between 1883 and 1899 – at Jerusalem on the Whanganui River, teaching local children, making medicines, and forming a religious order, the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion (now the Sisters

of Compassion).

She started two hospitals and a soup kitchen in Wellington, and wrote books in French, English and Maori.

Mother Aubert’s canonisation formally began in 2007 with the appointment of Catholic priest and historian Maurice Carmody as postulator, or advocate for Mother Aubert’s cause.

New food label system ‘confusing’ A new system which labels food using a star-based nutrition scale could mislead consumers, a nutritionist says.

The Government is poised to confirm New Zealand will adopt the Healthy Star Rating system used in Australia, but on an optin basis.

The Australian system is similar to our energy-use ratings for domestic appliances, and rates packaged foods from half a star to five stars.

The most unhealthy products, such as soft drinks, rank one star. Most cereals rank around two and a half.

The healthiest, five-star products, include trim milk and plain yoghurt.

Auckland nutritionist and Nutrition Society of New Zealand member Lynda Smith said the system was simplistic and likely to mislead consumers.

“It’s the whole lifestyle and the whole day’s food, not just one thing they’re buying at a time at the supermarket,” she said.

“Not everyone should be drinking blue milk, it’s not the best thing for everyone.”

Ms Smith was “dismayed” to see orange juice got a 4.5 out of 5.

“I wouldn’t want people to think it was a good thing to have a lot of.”

The cost of manufacturers labelling their products would outweigh the message, which wasn’t hugely effective.

“Who doesn’t know that fizzy drink is bad? Do we really need a number one on it to tell us that?”

The types of people who bought soft drinks were unlikely to take any notice of a one star rating, she said.

Heinz Wattie’s nutrition manager Julie North said the star ratings would be a move in the right direction.

“We’re positive about the system, we think it’s a sensible move forward for consumers and for everyone in the field.”

Any moves to help consumers understand more about food was a good thing, and the system had been “well considered” in its development, she said.

Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing has welcomed the move, and pledged to adopt the labelling system across its entire product range over the next few months, including Weet-Bix and Up&Go. “This initiative is an opportunity for the food and beverage industry to help improve the health of New Zealanders,” said Sanitarium NZ General Manager Pierre van Heerden.

Are you prepared

M

id Canterbury needs to prepare for a devastating earthquake that is coming.

When it hits, Mid Canterbury can expect damaged buildings, loss of power and utilities as well as possible flooding.

Internationally funded scientists will soon begin digging in Franz Josef to better understand a South Island fault which poses the biggest threat to the country since the September 4 quakes.

Scientists are hoping to gain a better understanding of the Alpine Fault, spanning 650km down the middle of the South Island.

Approximately every 300 to 350 years the faultline ruptures, in three years’ time it will be the 300th anniversary of when the last quake hit.

Environment Canterbury geological hazards analyst Dr Marion Gadsby recognised the widespread effect the quake will have. “... When the Alpine Fault

“

Scientists are about to start drilling into the Alpine Fault line in an attempt to find out more about the danger lying under the Southern Alps. APNZ’s Jamie Morton finds out more about that, while the Guardian’s Thomas Heaton tells us what Mid Canterbury can expect in the big one.

8, which will damage buildings and put lives in danger.

Ashburton could expect a magnitude 5 to 6, similar to what Christchurch felt in September 2010.

The most destructive factor involved in the tremors will be their duration, due to the rolling nature of the earthquake, as it is further away from the epicentre.

In the months following, the region could also expect aftershocks ranging from magnitude 5 to 7.

Some buildings will be damaged and masonry buildings which are not reinforced will be particularly vulnerable.

Dr Gadsby also noted the widespread effect on power, telecommunications, roading

It’s very important that Ashburton is capable of looking out for herself ...

Earthquake happens, Ashburton will feel the quake and its effects, but so will its neighbours throughout the South Island.

“This means the response is going to be thinly spread and probably concentrated on areas affected more badly, such as the West Coast.”

The epicentre of the quakes is predicted to be slightly south of Mt Cook.

Dr Gadsby said it was important Ashburton was prepared.

“It’s very important that Ashburton is capable of looking out for herself and is ready to respond and start recovering without too much outside help,” she said.

Scientists believe the faultline last ruptured in 1717, which puts the country into the cross hairs of what may be the most devastating quake since 2010.

The earthquake, predicted to be magnitude 8 in the epicentre could be devastating; it has the potential to cause 10,000 casualties and kill at least 1000.

Mid Canterbury can expect a long period of rolling tremors rather than sharp shaking, with effects becoming milder as the epicentre becomes farther away.

Methven is expected to incur around a minute of magnitude

and rail systems. “The road and rail networks and power and telecoms are likely to be affected, so getting around it is going to be difficult – possibly for months and months. As is finding out what is damaged, where and how badly.”

Bridges would also be affected due to river behaviour.

Rivers may be susceptible to flooding as rivers may be dammed upstream by landslides, which could breach and cause rapid flooding downstream, and dams may be affected.

The behaviour of rivers would be likely to change as levels rise due to more sediment input.

The last quake reportedly produced eight metres of horizontal movement as well as one to two metres of vertical movement on the fault itself.

Scientists will dig a single borehole 1.3km into the earth at a point near Whataroa, north of Franz Josef.

Scientists will be able to better understand the threat by analysing rock samples and installing equipment which will enable them to measure temperature, pressure, small earthquakes and chemical conditions.

The entire South Island will be affected when the Alpine Fault sends the big one, everyone must be prepared.

for the ‘big one’?

Scientists digging deep for fault clues

By Jamie morton

S

cientists are digging 1.3km into the earth to better understand the South Island fault that poses New Zealand’s largest earthquake threat.

From early October, an international team, led by New Zealand scientists, will drill a single deep borehole into the Alpine Fault, at a point near Whataroa, north of Franz Josef on the West Coast.

The location is regarded by scientists as one of the best sites in the world to study the inner workings of a major plate boundary fault.

The borehole will enable the scientists to examine rock samples extracted from the fault zone and install sensitive monitoring equipment to record small earthquakes and measure temperature, pressure and a range of chemical conditions.

The research will also give researchers a much better understanding of the Alpine Fault, which spans 650km along the spine of the South Island.

It ruptures on average every 330 years, plus or minus 90 years, producing earthquakes of about magnitude 8 that cause strong ground-shaking throughout much of the South Island.

Scientists believe it last ruptured in 1717 in an earthquake that produced about 8m of horizontal movement and vertical movement of 1m to 2m along the fault.

In between major ruptures, the fault appears to be locked and produced mostly small earthquakes and deep-seated vibrations known as seismic tremor.

It is among the more active plate boundary faults in the world and is seen by the international science community as a key

fault to study because of its size, fast rate of movement and accessibility.

A measure of the fault’s power can be found in the Southern Alps; the fault has pushed the mountains up every time it has ruptured and, over the past 12 million years, it is estimated the total uplift has been an astonishing 20km.

The huge fault is expected to rupture within 50 years, a onein-500-year event that will produce a devastating earthquake of a magnitude 8 or more, with the potential to cause 10,000 casualties and kill at least 1000.

Its impact on Christchurch would be similar to the force of the September 4 quake, but West Coast townships would suffer most of the casualties.

A major quake would most likely also prove the catalyst for a large-scale, near-shore tsunami.

This year’s project involves scientists and funding from more than a dozen organisations in New Zealand, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

There have been a number of projects to drill into plate boundary faults after large earthquakes, but this project would be one of the first attempts to probe the inside of a major fault before it ruptured.

As part of a lead-up to this year’s project, a smaller group of scientists drilled two boreholes to about 150m into the fault, also near Whataroa, in early 2011.

One of the main findings of the 2011 project, the first substantial drilling investigation on the Alpine Fault, was the existence of a finely-ground

impermeable layer of rock in the centre of the fault zone, holding back large amounts of fluid on the upper east side of the fault.

This was a surprise as it had not been anticipated from the many surface studies of the fault dating back to the 1970s.

Scientists believe the large difference in fluid pressures on either side of the fault zone could play a role in initiating the first slipping movements as an earthquake began.

Their hope was the proposed 1.3km-deep borehole would shed more light on the relationship between fluid pressure, the internal structure of the fault zone and the mechanics of earthquakes.

Their aim in October is to intersect the fault at about 1km depth and drill a further 300m into the underlying Australian tectonic plate.

They will take rock samples from the 10cm-diameter borehole for analysis using a variety of techniques and the inside of the walls of the borehole will be studied with a camera-like device.

The team will also lower other scanning equipment into the borehole to examine rock structures in detail.

Project co-leader Rupert Sutherland, of GNS Science, which is leading the project alongside Victoria University and the University of Otago, said the Alpine Fault represented a “major hazard” to the South Island.

Today, drilling technology had matured to a point where a lot of crucial information about the fault’s inner workings could be gleaned from a deep borehole.

“The Alpine Fault saves up all its energy for one big showdown every few hundred years,” Dr Sutherland said.

■ WELLINGTON HIGH COURT

Hair suspension ‘unlawful’ The long and short of a court battle over the length of a high school student’s hair has been resolved with a judge finding the school acted unlawfully in suspending the pupil over his long locks.

Lucan Battison was suspended from St John’s College in Hastings on May 22 after telling his principal Paul Melloy he would not be trimming his long, curly hair.

He offered to tie his hair back so it complied with the rule that hair needed to be off the collar and away from a student’s eyes, but that was declined.

On Monday the 16-year-old’s father sought a judicial review of the disciplinary action in the High Court at Wellington.

The judgement, by Justice David Collins was released yesterday.

It said the decision by the school to suspend Lucan was unlawful and the condition imposed by the school’s disciplinary committee that he could return after getting a haircut was unreasonable.

The principal needed to ensure that serious disciplinary consequences were reserved for “truly serious cases”, Justice

Collins said. “Mr Melloy did not appreciate the need to explore disciplinary sanctions less drastic than suspension in this case.

“The degree of seriousness of Lucan’s continued disobedience was not great enough to warrant suspension.”

Penalties imposed should minimise the disruption to a student’s attendance at school, which was a factor that was overlooked by Mr Melloy, Justice Collins said.

Suspension was a last resort to be used if the student’s behaviour was a harmful or dangerous example to other stu-

dents, he said. “The evidence before Mr Melloy did not satisfy this criterion.”

The disciplinary committee also acted unreasonably when it insisted that Lucan’s hair would have to be cut to a length that was to Mr Melloy’s satisfaction, Justice Collins said.

“This condition went beyond the requirements of the hair rule.”

There was also “considerable uncertainty” over whether Lucan’s hair was indeed long, he said.

“Lucan and one hairstylist believe that his hair is short.”

■ BOWEL CANCER AWARENESS

Walk-through colon draws lots of interest

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

A giant pink inflatable in downtown Ashburton yesterday drew a lot of interest – some of it for the right reasons.

It was not a giant bouncy castle as some thought, instead a four-metre long pink colon brought to town by Beat Bowel Cancer Aotearoa (BBCA). It was big enough for people to walk through.

BBCA chairperson Rachel Holdaway brought the colon to town as part of an annual appeal month. It was used to raise awareness for bowel cancer New Zealand’s second deadliest cancer.

While a few people thought it was giant bouncy castle, others were hesitantly drawn to it out of curiosity.

Ms Holdaway said about 50 people went through the disease riddled colon during the course of the day.

Many were interested in symptoms to help detect the disease.

They included rectum bleeding and changes to bowel habits like diahorrea or constipation.

If people were concerned they should visit their doctor.

Ms Holdaway said with no screening programme, the biggest protection people had against bowel cancer was to be aware of its symptoms.

It was often a disease people were reluctant to discuss.

However, there were more people with bowel cancer than with prostate and breast cancer combined.

And it killed five times as many people as the national road toll.

Ms Holdaway said the organisation would like to see a

pilot screening programme at the Waitemata District Health Board rolled out nationwide and available to everyone from 50 years of age.

“It shouldn’t matter where you live,” she said.

Ms Holdaway said Ashburton was the colon’s second official outing since being secured from Bowel Cancer Australia.

Stockton mine restructure confirmed Stockton mineworkers got the bad news they were expecting yesterday, that more than 180 jobs will go - over a quarter of the workforce - and mine production will fall by 25 per cent.

Solid Energy confirmed the restructuring proposal it outlined to staff three weeks ago,

Justice Collins ordered St John’s School Board to pay Lucan costs.

In a statement, the school said: “Naturally we are disappointed of the decision made in Wellington today. The board of trustees are taking time to consider the judgment made by Justice Collins in terms of its impact, both on our school and on other schools.

“It is not about the individual student but being able to manage our school in a positive equitable environment, this includes compliance with our rules.

However, the job losses will reduce by two, to 185.

The Westport News understands both the retained positions are in the technical area.

The losses will comprise 135 Stockton Alliance workers and

about 50 contractors’ employees.

The alliance currently employs 521 and mine contractors employ about 120.

Solid Energy chief executive Dan Clifford said there had been constructive feedback during the consultation period,

resulting in some changes to the final structure.

Some employees found out yesterday whether they had jobs, but many still don’t know. They will have to decide whether to take redundancy or apply for the remaining jobs.

Two No24 (Ashburton) Squadron Air Training Corp (ATC) cadets will have four years of study recognised next week when they receive their NZQA national certificate in cadet forces.

Under officer Jordan Belpadrome and warrant officer John Tarry were the first cadets nationwide to complete the certificate. It took them four years to complete.

The New Zealand Cadet Forces introduced the NZQA standard base to training already completed by the cadets.

It was an optional qualification for each unit.

The cadets completed different sections of training including aviation, first aid, bush craft, navigation and leadership components.

ATC unit commander Flt Lt Luke Sutton said the national certificate was an extra qualification both men could use on their curriculum vitae for future employers.

“It acknowledges the training they would have done, in a nationally recognised qualification,” Mr Sutton said.

Director of Reserve Forces and Youth Development Colonel Paul Curry and NZCF commandant Lt Commander Glen Stokes would present the certificates to Under Officer Belpadrome and a family representative for Warrant Officer Tarry, currently in Canada.

The presentation will be held on Monday night, at the Ashburton Aviation Museum at 7.15pm.

■ MISSING BLAZER

Missing blazer mystery solved

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A mystery surrounding the disappearance of a former New Zealand shooting team member’s prized blazer has been solved.

Julianne Herridge’s granddaughter Alex Watson placed ads in the Guardian appealing for anyone who had information on the whereabouts of her lategrandmother’s cherished blazer, after it was discovered it was missing when they tried to find it ahead of her funeral.

Mrs Herridge died in October, and her family wanted to put the blazer on her coffin for her funeral, but it was nowhere to be found.

After cleaning out her home and all of her belongings, there was still no trace of the black blazer featuring a Silver Fern on the pocket.

Ads were placed saying the blazer was

SPORTS COATS 100% WOOL

believed to have been lost some time before October last year, possibly at an event in Ashburton or Methven.

But no information was forthcoming, until a chance conversation at the family’s dinner table solved the mystery.

Alex said someone asked her if they’d found the blazer, after putting the ads in the paper.

Alex’s aunty – unaware of the ads – then piped up and said that she had the blazer.

It turned out Mrs Herridge had given it to her to sew some patches on, but the aunty had been in India and was unaware the family had been searching for the blazer.

It’s now back in Alex’s grateful hands and will have the patches and medals sewn onto it before it is donated to the Coronation Rifle Club – the club that both Mrs Herridge belonged to, and one which Alex now belongs to.

Fish and chips special reward Ashburton Wastebusters surprised Netherby School’s Room 5 yesterday with a fish and chip lunch.

The students won the lunch as part of the Wastebuster’s Revamping and Reusing Competition.

The competition involved sprucing up an event chair with recycled goods.

Each of the classes visited Wastebusters to gather recyclable materials for their chair art.

Students who did not win were given lollipops to reward them for their hard work.

Their chair art was judged by Simone Barnsdale of the Ashburton Art Gallery.

Facial tattoo holds robbery key A distinctive facial tattoo holds the key to police catching up with the knifewielding attacker who slashed a hospital chaplain onThursday.

Reverend Murray Elliot, 65, was assaulted in his office at Taranaki Base Hospital in New Plymouth with a box cutter and a stick after telling a man attempting to rob his collection boxes, “You can’t take God’s money”.

Police released a sketch of the man

who has a distinctive tattoo by his left eye described as rays of the sun coming out in five lines.

Officers investigating the attack admit they have little more to go on.

“Unfortunately there are no security cameras in the chapel. It’s probably not somewhere they figured they needed them,” said Sergeant Bruce Irvine.

No further information has come in to police, he said.

Ashburton’s sports stadi Not many towns can say that what is likely to become the most significant project in their history has had a six-decade plus gestation period. Ashburton can.

The EA Networks Centre off Smallbone Drive, will open early next year, but the project itself has its roots firmly in the past. It owes its origins to a handful of men and women who dared to dream big dreams for the generations who would follow. Reporter Sue Newman takes a look at a sports centre that has been a long time in the making.

Ashburton’s stadium, take one – 1949 to 1950 The first tentative efforts to give the Ashburton District a sports and recreational centre were made by a band of sports enthusiasts who eyed land on the Walnut Avenue side of the Ashburton Domain. The project won the hearts and minds of the Ashburton Borough Council and plans were drawn up.

The idea was to build a war memorial hall that would accommodate indoor sports and that would be large enough to attract a government subsidy.

They talked to the council, the idea was approved and in 1950 planning began.

By 1953 parts of a macrocarpa hedge had been removed and concrete foundations laid for a storage shed.

The original plan was for a

39x27 metre building that came with a $44,000 price tag. There were also plans to add a squash court, gym and boxing training room, tiered seating for 450 people, a cafeteria, reception room and change facilities.

The community got behind the project, raising almost $12,000. Enthusiasm was high and support growing but the stadium dream came to a swift end. While the council stuck with its decision to build the complex, members of the project committee crumbled under relentless pressure from people living along Walnut Avenue to can the project. The committee was gutted.

That first stadium site is today home to the Walnut Avenue hockey pavilion.

Above – If the plans of a small group of enthusiasts had come to fruition, the Walnut Avenue pavilion could have been the site of a multi–sport stadium as far back in time as the early 1950s.

Left – Sixty years ago the Sports Hall became Ashburton’s number one sporting venue after plans to build a multi-purpose stadium in Ashburton Domain were scuttled.

Ashburton’s stadium, take two – 1954 The domain pavilion project might have been abandoned, but the people who were driving the project refused to give up. They simply looked for new options.

They found an old building in Tancred Street that was used as a garage, bought it for $30,000 and started planning again.

That was in 1954.

While the building was old, it was sound.

It had started its life as a livery stable, but with the addition of new steel trusses and a new roof it became the Ashburton Sports Hall, a facility that would serve basketballers in Ashburton well for decades.

Left – The idea of a multisport stadium in Ashburton was born more than 66 years ago and will finally become a reality next year when the EA Networks Centre opens.

ium, a 66-year journey Take three – 1981 to 1987 1981 – The Sports Hall may have met basketballers’ needs but the community’s desire for an all-purpose sports facility did not go away.

1982 – Ashburton mayor Geoff Geering asked his councillors to think about the Ashburton of the future and to imagine the town’s recreational needs 20 years out.

Councillor Don McKenzie suggested that meeting those needs would require a full community effort that would involve the council, Government, commercial organisations as well as voluntary and educational groups.

A meeting was held with representatives of cricket, bowling and athletic associations regarding the construction of a multipurpose sports pavilion in the Ashburton Domain. At that meeting the council was also asked to provide a feasibility report on constructing a sports ground and multipurpose stadium on land that had been used as the town dump (within the town’s industrial estate). It was suggested the project could include an aquatic centre.

This report and a plan were later circulated at a public meeting. Requests for space in the facility came from archery, athletics, basketball, badminton, croquet, cricket, gymnastics, hockey, indoor bowls, football, table tennis, netball and a range of community organisations. A total of 24 acres of land was targeted and user feedback indicated heavy use was likely. Planning continued.

1983 – The Mid Canterbury Basketball Association decided it couldn’t wait any longer and applied for planning consent to use a property in Oxford Street for an indoor sports stadium, effectively withdrawing from the stadium proposal. Later that year Ashburton Indoor Bowls applied for consent to use an existing building in McNally Street as a headquarters.

1984 – While some planning continued on the stadium project, potential users were becoming concerned at the lack of progress and the project started to lose steam.

1987 – Planning appears to have stalled for three years until council staff wanted the land off Smallbone Drive tagged for industrial use. Councillor Ted Wood vehemently opposed the move and said it was too early in the town’s history to consider giving away such a premier site when there wasn’t a pressing need for it to be used for industrial development. The industrial designation did not proceed, but the project was again shelved.

Ashburton stadium plans circa 1982 (left) and circa 1984 (right).

Take four – 2001 to 2014 2001 – After the sports complex project lay all but forgotten for 14 years, Mid Canterbury Netball and the trustees of the Ashburton Sports Hall rekindled interest. A working party was set up to consider the feasibility of the project.

One of the key must haves for a new complex was now an indoor swimming pool. The district’s community pool had already exceeded its intended life span and maintenance was becoming increasingly expensive.

Consultation with potential user groups began.

2002-2003 – Consultation continued and when the feasibility of building a stadium and aquatic centre was floated it had a price tag of $15 million. A community survey gave council a strong mandate to proceed.

The biggest disincentive to proceed, however, came with the planned redevelopment of the Regent Theatre into

a town hall.

This plan was later changed to what is now the Event Centre, but the community funding input needed for both projects had councillors wondering how far the public’s purse would stretch.

2004 – Pressure for the sports complex continued to mount and a feasibility study was commissioned. The search for a site also began.

The years ticked by, reports were received, site assessments carried out and community fundraising began.

2006 – Site non-specific plans were drawn up and the search for a site began 2007-2009 – The site search continued and finally the news the public had been waiting for two possible site options.

Focus – and opposition fell on just one, the Ashburton Domain. Public outcry saw this scrapped, but no alter-

native was given.

2010 – The community got its answer, one that was almost universally popular, a site off Smallbone Drive.

This was a journey back in time, it was close to the same site as that tagged for the project that would house the district’s new aquatic centre and recreational stadium – the same site tagged back in 1981.

2010-2013 – The site survived the public submission process, the project survived the council’s budget process and met its community fundraising targets.

Plans were finalised, contracts let and 66 years after the idea was born, work on the Ashburton District’s long awaited sport and recreation complex finally began.

Sixty-six years after a handful of people dared to dream, the district’s multi sport stadium will be ready for use.

Both could be achieved by amending the Children and Community Services Act, the committee said.

■ UKRAINE

Ukraine seals EU deal Ukraine’s new Western-backed president has signed a landmark EU pact whose rejection by his pro-Moscow predecessor plunged the ex-Soviet country into turmoil and sent EastWest relations to their lowest level since the Cold War. Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko yesterday hailed the deal, which pulls Kiev out of Kremlin’s orbit, as a turning point for the strategic country sandwiched between Europe and Russia.

But the agreement bursts Russian President Vladimir Putin’s dream of enlisting Kiev in a Kremlin-led alliance that could rival the European Union and NATO and Moscow warned it would have “serious consequences.”

The Association Agreement is also deeply unpopular in Ukraine’s heavily Russified eastern rustbelt, where proRussian insurgents are battling Kiev government troops.

The European Union also sealed similar partnership agreements yesterday with Georgia and Moldova - two former Soviet nations nations with similarly complicated relations with Russia.

Poroshenko said the deal offered Ukraine “an absolutely new perspective for my country,” hailing a “historic day, the most important day since independence.”

The deals were signed in

Brussels just hours after proRussian rebels released four monitors from the Organisation and Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) they had abducted on May 26.

Another four European observers and their Ukrainian translator are still being held captive by the gunmen and Putin has personally urged the militias to secure their release.

The Kremlin chief denies ex-

erting control over the fighters and is yet to address in public reports from Kiev and Washington of rocket launchers and even tanks crossing the Russian border into the conflict zone.

But Putin is also facing the threat of imminent economic sanctions should he fail to show that he is backing Poroshenko’s bid to end nearly three months of fighting that have claimed more than 435 lives.

The Russian leader said on Thursday that he wanted to see a temporary truce that’s due to expire extended, to give nascent peace talks between Kiev and separatist leaders a chance to work.

Poroshenko responded by announcing that he was “ready to make peace with anybody”.

But he is yet to commit himself to the ceasefire’s extension.

Juncker ‘wrong person’ to head EC

Tensions rising fast Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah has led several thousand demonstrators through Kabul, upping the stakes in his protest against alleged election fraud. Abdullah has vowed to reject the election result, claiming he was the victim of massive ballot-box stuffing in the June 14 poll with counting reportedly putting him well behind rival Ashraf Ghani. As tensions rise fast between opposing supporters, the United Nations has expressed fears of spiralling ethnic violence at the same time as US-led troops pull out after their 13-year war against Taliban insurgents. “Death to Ashraf Ghani! Death to the election commission!” Abdullah’s supporters chanted as he was carried through the rowdy crowds on the roof on a truck yesterday.

The protest was the biggest since the fraud dispute erupted and the first Abdullah had attended. - AFP

British Prime Minister David Cameron says Jean-Claude Juncker is the “wrong person” to head the European Commission, arriving for an EU leader’s summit in Brussels.

Juncker “is the wrong person,” Cameron said on Friday, arriving at the summit that is expected to overwhelmingly confirm the former Luxemburg prime minister’s appointment.

“He is not the right person to take this organisation forward,” Cameron added.

Cameron has been bitterly opposed to the nomination of Juncker to lead the European Commission and tried unsuccessfully to find the backing of like-minded leaders to block his candidacy.

Cameron sees Juncker, who until last year was Europe’s

longest-serving leader, as a tired face and a federalist unlikely to promote reforms which could convince British voters to remain inside the EU in a referendum which could be held in 2017.

The disagreement comes a month after anti-EU parties made sweeping gains in European elections, with outright victories for the UK Independence Party in Britain and the National Front in France.

EU leaders gathered Thursday in the Belgian town of Ypres, among World War I’s bloodiest battlefields, to mark 100 years since the conflict started.

Jurors in the Rolf Harris trial have asked a series of questions of the judge as they continue deliberating in the complex child sex abuse case. The jury passed a note to Justice Nigel Sweeney yesterday, exactly one week after they first retired to consider verdicts in London. “We would like some clarification,” the note began, before going on to query if they could discuss the legal directions they’d been given “as there seems some confusion”. The note raised five points, including whether the jury was “to judge each count independently”. Harris is charged with 12 counts of indecent assault against four girls in the UK between 1968 and 1986.

Son a mass murderer A massive explosion on a stateowned gas pipeline running through the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has killed at least 16 people.

“At least 16 people are dead.

We have recovered 13 bodies so far,” state home minister N. Chinna Rajappa said yesterday after the blast near a refinery in the East Godavari district.

Television pictures showed flames at least 10 metres high leaping into the dawn sky, scorching trees in a surrounding coconut grove and burning flimsy huts in the coastal area.

The fire on the 45-centime-

tre pipeline owned by the Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) was extinguished by mid-morning and the gas cut off, a senior administrative officer said.

At least 15 people were hospitalised with injuries from the explosion, which occurred around 5.30am, the company said, while the exact cause of the blast was not yet known.

“We are currently focused on rescue and relief operations,” GAIL chairman B.C. Tripathi was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency.

GAIL is the country’s largest state-owned natural gas processing and distribution company and the damaged pipeline is used to transport pressurised natural gas for a power plant.

Witnesses contacted by phone told newsa agency AFP angry locals entered an office belonging to GAIL near the site of the accident, pelting it with stones and vandalising property.

The Times of India newspaper said that some villagers had complained of negligence as the pipeline had become

rusty, while other reports said a stove might have ignited leaked gas.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had asked the petroleum minister and other senior officers to ensure immediate relief at the accident site.

“My thoughts with the families of those who lost their lives in the GAIL pipeline fire.

“Prayers with the injured,” he tweeted.

Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who rushed to the site of explosion, told reporters an investigation had begun.

Rinehart fires pot shot at her children

By ToBy Mann Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart has called her children John and Bianca selfish at the end of a week-long trial over the $5 billion Hancock family trust.

The mining magnate fired off a stinging statement after Justice Paul Brereton reserved his judgment over who should run the lucrative trust.

“I have always worked in the best interests of our family company and my record shows I have turned Hancock Pros-

pecting into one of the most successful private companies in the country, which is of benefit to all my children given their interest via the trust I requested be set up for them,” Ms Rinehart told AAP. “Hard work, sacrifice and immense dedication, not short-term gambles in hope of quick easy money has got us here with the help of a dedicated but very small executive team.

“This has become a company this family should be genuinely very proud of, as my daughter

Ginia is, not attacked or distracted for selfish reasons in public litigation.”

Gina Rinehart’s eldest daughter Bianca and her son John Hancock believe Bianca is the best person to take control of the trust.

However the youngest child Ginia Rinehart, who is believed to be siding with her mother, wants an independent trustee appointed instead of her sister.

Gina Rinehart is unable to nominate a trustee because she is not a beneficiary.

The lawyer for Bianca and

Mr Hancock, Christopher Withers, accused Ginia of being her mother’s puppet yesterday in the NSW Supreme Court.

“There is no way Ginia would take steps against her mother,” he said.

This was denied by Ginia’s lawyer.

“There’s no basis on which your honour will find my client beholden to her mother’s wishes,” he said.

Bianca’s half sister Hope has pulled out of the long running and bitter dispute.

■ NEW ZEALAND TRADE FIGURES

Dairy drives 7th monthly surplus New Zealand posted its seventh monthly trade surplus in May, led by overseas demand for the nation’s primary products such as milk powder, butter and cheese.

The country had a trade surplus of $285 million in May, from $498 million in April and $40 million a year earlier, Statistics New Zealand said.

The annual trade balance turned to a surplus of $1.37 billion from a deficit of $901 million a year earlier.

The trade figures lagged expectations for a monthly surplus of $300 million and an annual surplus of $1.43 billion in a Reuters poll of economists.

Demand for primary products from an expanding and wealthier Chinese economy has spurred demand for New Zealand exports.

China held its position as New Zealand’s top trading partner, with annual two-way trade between the nations exceeding

$20 billion for the first time, ahead of the government’s 2015 target.

Exports rose 13 per cent to $4.6 billion in May from the year earlier month, led by dairy exports to China.

The statistics agency said it appeared the growth in exports seen in the past year has levelled off.

Expanding global milk supply and a drop in buying by Chinese importers as they run down inventories has weighed on dairy prices this year.

“Lower dairy prices are now starting to come through in the trade data,” Westpac Banking Corp senior economist Felix Delbruck said in a note.

“We expect further price falls to come through in the June trade figures.”

Imports increased 7 per cent to $4.3 billion In May from the year earlier month, led by imports of trucks and machinery including cranes and excava-

Deon eyes cricket at the top

BY THOMAS HEATON Ashburton’s Deon Biggs will soon be getting his first taste of the professional cricket experience.

Biggs, 17, left yesterday to join an invitational team of budding cricketers from around the globe on the Darren Lehmann Academy tour of England.

The team will play 11 matches against various counties, clubs and schools while in England including a team from Harrow School.

Biggs will be the only New Zealander in a 13man squad of international players hailing from Australia, Hong Kong and America.

He will have to get a lot of sleep on the plane, as he arrives in the morning and will have to train that same afternoon and play the next day.

He does not know what to expect of the other players, who will have all arrived before him, but imagines they’ll be okay.

“I don’t really know what to expect, but it is the Darren Lehmann Academy,” Biggs said.

He said he was looking forward to learning more about the game in its spiritual home and learning the different styles of the game.

His coach, Garfield Charles, said Biggs has the potential to be an all-rounder as he has made great strides with his batting game.

Charles also seemed to think he would benefit from the experience, on and off the field.

“It’ll be highly organised, and he’ll be playing some good opposition,” Charles said.

“Off the field stuff will be just as valuable, it’ll be a growth period.”

Biggs made the Canterbury Under-17 side in January, and is excited about taking the next step towards becoming a professional one day.

Deon Biggs has been making great strides ahead of his trip overseas.

In brief More of the same?

The Hurricanes have beaten the Crusaders in three of the past five meetings between the teams, and each time the winning points have come in the final 10 minutes.

Such thrilling outcomes have set the stage for tonight’s contest in the capital, which will all but decide the fate of the Hurricanes’ season. Lose and they can start thinking about next year under a new coach but victory will see the sixth-placed Hurricanes keep their playoff hopes alive. Cardiffbound Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett also considered whether those fast finishes from his men had forced the Crusaders to name No 8 Kieran Read and returning first-five Dan Carter on the bench for tonight’s game so they have something in reserve.

Keep this date free . . .

November 8, Twickenham should be on the mind of England’s players. It’s the opening end-ofyear test date with the All Blacks and coach Stuart Lancaster hopes his players digest their New Zealand tour and figure out how they are going to shift their games to new levels when the All Blacks visit in four months. If some have their minds entirely on relaxation they may be surplus to Lancaster’s plans to rebuild the team’s shell which was scorched by the allgame power of the All Blacks.

Since professional rugby bounced into life in 1996, England have been strong at Twickenham. They have the edge on the Springboks and Wallabies at the venue for the next World Cup final but have sagged badly against the All Blacks.

- NZH

Kaino promises more Despite the extremely high level Jerome Kaino reached on his return to the All Blacks against England, he feels he let himself down in the third test in Hamilton. As the Blues contemplate what will probably be their final three matches of the season starting tonight in Perth against the Force, they could do with following Kaino’s ruthless dedication to high standards. “I think I’m getting there but I’m not there at the moment,” said Kaino in reflecting on his efforts in the three tests, his first since the World Cup final three years ago. “I think in the last test I dropped my standards a bit in being effective in the game. It was a tough three weeks. They are a quality England side who put us under the pump in each test.” - APNZ

■ RUGBY

Chiefs’ chances take a dive

By Kris Shannon The Chiefs’ reign as champions is virtually over but the Highlanders have shown there remains at least one Kiwi challenger for the Super Rugby title.

The Highlanders deposed the defending champs in impressive fashion at Forsyth Barr Stadium last night, beating the Chiefs at their own game of running rugby and staunch defence.

Separated by three points entering the encounter, the two teams are now trending in opposite directions, with the Highlanders overtaking the Crusaders to top the New Zealand conference.

The Chiefs, on the other hand, remain languishing in eighth overall after a third straight defeat that means they now have as many losses (six) as wins this season.

Hoping for a resurrection in fortunes after spending the June window concocting a fresh approach, many of the problems that previously plagued the Chiefs again proved their undoing in Dunedin.

Chances were readily spurned, mistakes were too frequently made and any build up of pressure was released with regularity.

Perhaps understandably after a three-week break from the game, neither side found fluency for much of the match.

Aside from an attacking outburst shortly after halftime from the Highlanders, errors

were more prevalent than flowing passing moves and the set piece was a bit of a shambles for both teams.

The home side would have been the happier of a frustrated pair at the halftime break, behind by only three despite being dominated in terms of possession.

The Chiefs had plenty of ball and spent much more time in the opposition 22 but struggled to make the most of their advantage.

And that fact would have been especially galling for the defending champions considering Dave Rennie indicated during the week his side needed to be more clinical in attack.

That tag instead belonged to the Highlanders who, with their first real period of possession, opened the scoring through Patrick Osborne.

Malakai Fekitoa made the original bust through the visitors’ midfield before All Blacks team-mate Ben Smith spread the ball for the wing to cross in the corner.

Fekitoa was making life tough for Robbie Fruean in his first start back since being sidelined with heart troubles, with the centre enduring an uneven opening half.

Augustine Pulu, having been preferred to Tawera Kerr-Barlow, was another to initially struggle, committing a couple errors to bring to a halt promising opportunities.

Thankfully for the Chiefs,

Ben Smith got his name on the scoreboard with a try at Forsyth Barr Stadium last night as the Highlanders held out the Chiefs.

Aaron Cruden continued where he left off while away on All Blacks duty, helping his side to a slim halftime lead with a clever kick to the corner that set up Dwayne Sweeney’s try.

That lead didn’t last for long, though, with the pattern of the first 40 minutes being exemplified immediately after the break.

The Chiefs set up camp deep in Highlanders territory but, after turning over the ball, Fekitoa, Richard Buckman and Ben Smith combined for the fullback to finish a rapid bust down the right sideline.

It was a try that sparked the Highlanders’ best stretch of

attacking play in the half, unfortunate to return only two penalties after consistently threatening the Chiefs’ line.

Instead it was Tim NanaiWilliams who next found the line, rewarding Rennie for injecting the utility in place of Fruean to help the Chiefs pulled within eight. Josh Hohneck then gave the Chiefs late hope but the Highlanders hung on for a statement win.

Highlanders 29 (Osborne, Smith tries; Sopoaga 2 cons, 4 pens, Parker pen) Chiefs 25 (Sweeney, Nanai-Williams, Hohneck tries; Cruden pen, con, Anscombe pen) HT: 10-13 - APNZ

Concussion tests beefed up in Super Rugby More advanced sideline concussion tests will be applied in Super Rugby following SANZAR’s decision to follow the lead of the IRB. After consultation with medi-

Side Concussion Assessment tool.

The HIA will be applied to Super Rugby and the Rugby Championship with immediate effect. Two components of the pitch-side checks have been expanded with

the memory test strengthened and the balance test altered, improving the information teams and doctors have available when deciding if and when players are safe to return to action. - AAP

■ HOCKEY

There’s a light and dark shade for Charles Piutau about rugby in New Plymouth. He made his All Black debut there last season and on the same ground several months ago, damaged knee ligaments on the cusp of selection in the squad to play England. It was the first serious hiccup in the 23-yearold’s career which took off once he starred at sevens and began work with the Blues in 2012. This weekend he’s watching his team in Perth but is good to go when the Blues travel to take on the Crusaders next weekend. “It’s no drama now. I’ve been running and moving no problem but everyone thought it best to give it another week to make totally sure,” he said.

Black again take Wakanui derby honours

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Wakanui Black made it 2-0 for the season in the Wakanui derby after a 4-1 win over Wakanui Blue in the Mid-South Canterbury hockey competition on Thursday night.

The defending champions produced another convincing performance courtesy of a hattrick from Ryan Hampton to back up their 3-0 win in the first

encounter. Black’s Hugh Copland scored from a penalty corner and Ryan Hampton scored his first of the match from a deflection to go to halftime up 2-0.

A second deflection from Hampton made it 3-0 before Blue sparked into life with their own deflection goal from Karl Snowball.

Blue put pressure on Black with a series of penalty corners, but couldn’t close the gap back

to one as instead Black produced a third goal for Hampton to claim a bonus point win.

“It is pretty rare to get a bonus point off them because they are such strong defenders,” Black’s Mark Bennett said.

Blue are back on the blue NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf tomorrow taking on Northern Hearts while the unbeaten Black tackle Tainui on Timaru.

The women’s teams also head

to Timaru, both coming off losses.

Top-of-the-table Hampstead lost their second game of the season in a second loss to Craighead, and come up against current second place holders Geraldine.

Hampstead-Collegians will be chasing their second win of the season when they meet Timaru Girls in a bottom of the table clash.

Proud to wear the Fern

By Thomas heaTon View or purchase Crashing his first bike photos online didn’t dissuade motocross rider Matt Sutherland, and guardianonline.co.nz now he’s off to China to represent New Zealand.

Sutherland, 22, rode grass carts when he was younger, and got into motocross after his father bought him his first farm bike.

“Dad bought me a bike; I wrecked it and thought, maybe I should get into motocross,” Sutherland said.

He has been invited to compete at the China International Invitational, a competition in the southern city of Pingliu.

Teams from all around the world have been invited to compete against each other and China’s best.

He will not be taking his own bike with him though, as he will be given one on arrival.

Riding a 250cc four stroke Honda will shake things up a bit, as his own bike is a faster two stroke Yamaha.

“It’s the same class, but slower.

“It should be easier to ride,” he said.

He’s done his homework, taking a look at the track already and knows what to expect.

“It’s half motocross, half supercross.”

Supercross has steeper jumps, tighter berms and is generally more technical.

Sutherland has a New Zealand supercross title, so it suits his riding style.

“I prefer the technical stuff.”

Returning from a hand injury just two weeks ago, he has been training hard at the gym every night to make sure he’s fit to compete.

Sutherland has had his fair share of injuries in his 12 years of riding, having multiple ankle operations which have kept him from riding for up to two years.

He said he considers himself lucky, injury-wise, compared to other riders.

Help! It’s a penalty Heart-stopping stress and the pressure of knowing that with a single kick, you will become either a national hero or a national joke.

It’s no wonder that psychologists have a field day trying to work out the science of a soccer penalty kick. It’s no surprise that as the World Cup moves into the knockout phase this weekend, where penalty shootouts determine tied matches, psychologists are there to study it. Players can be “crippled” by the shootout, says Geir Jordet, a professor in sport psychology who has discreetly counselled many stars on how to cope with the ordeal.

England in 1998 even brought in a faith healer to try to overcome the players’ inner demons. “England couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo,” the great physicist Stephen Hawking said in May. - AFP

Germany won the group by beating the US, who also qualified on goal difference over Portugal.

Although Ronaldo netted his first goal of the tournament, the winner, it was his numerous misses that cost Portugal the sizeable victory they needed.

■ GROUP H

10-man Belgium prevails

By Talek Harris Jan Vertonghen has led 10-man Belgium to a 1-0 victory over South Korea that gave them top place in their World Cup group.

The stand-in captain hit the winner 12 minutes from time as Belgium finished with a perfect three wins in Group H. They now play the United States in the last 16.

South Korean goalkeeper Kim Seung-Gyu blocked a fierce shot by substitute Divock Origi and it went to the feet of Vertonghen, who buried the rebound and leapt into the stands to celebrate.

Belgian coach Marc Wilmots dismissed criticism over the style of the victory and said his team had “made history” by winning all three group games.

“We fulfilled our mission with nine points,” he said.

“It’s never happened before and what’s important for me is whether we can get into the quarter-finals. I don’t care about anything else.”

South Korea had needed a big win to stand any chance of qualifying, and they were given hope when Steven Defour was sent off for a stamp just before halftime by Australian referee Ben Williams.

But they failed to create clearcut opportunities and depart the tournament winless.

“My goal was not to have any regrets.

“I think we weren’t good enough but we nevertheless did our best,” said South Korean coach Hong Myung-Bo. “More than anything, I think it was important for our players to play on such a big stage and gain experience.”

Wilmots made seven changes from the team that beat Russia 1-0, giving Manchester United 19-year-old Adnan Januzaj

South Korea showed urgency at the start and had two hopeful penalty shouts waved away before Kim Young-Gwon, receiving the ball in the area from a free-kick, blasted off-target.

It looked like Belgium would take control but Ki Sung-Yueng

brought a sharp save from Thibaut Courtois with a low drive before Defour cleared Koo Ja-Cheol’s header off the line from the resulting corner.

Defour got a straight red card from Williams for a two footed challenge on Kim Shin-Wook.

The Porto midfielder made no protest and walked straight off.

two goals to go through and coach Hong brought on striker Lee Keun-Ho at half-time as they went for broke. Belgium were doing most of the defending but Fellaini had a strong penalty appeal denied. Despite their extra man, South Korea could not penetrate the packed Belgian defence and they paid for their failures when Vertonghen scored. - AFP

Mueller strike gives Germany win over USA Germany’s Thomas Mueller scored his fourth goal of the World Cup in a 1-0 win against United States that gave his side top spot in Group G. The goal sees Mueller join Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Brazil’s Neymar as the tourna-

ment’s leading scorers with four.

The United States, coached by former Germany boss Jurgen Klinsmann, also went through to the last 16 despite the defeat in rain-sodden Recife. Portugal’s 2-1 victory against Ghana was not enough to overtake the

Americans in second place.

“It’s huge getting out of this group,” said Klinsmann after the game as he hailed his side’s World Cup performance so far.

“We knew it would be a tricky game because a tie would have been enough, so it wasn’t easy

to handle. But the players are so hungry to do well. The knockout stage is a completely different ball game,” added Klinsmann. “Now we get to focus on that one specific opponent in the next game, not on what could happen in the group.”

■ LUIS SUAREZ

Biggest ever World Cup ban

By John Bagratuni Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is out of the World Cup after being handed a nine-match ban by Fifa for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.

Soccer’s governing body said yesterday that Suarez is also banned from any football-related activity or from entering any football stadium for four months, meaning the Liverpool striker will miss the start of the Premier League and the Champions League season.

It is the biggest match ban ever imposed by Fifa at a World Cup and follows similar incidents involving Suarez.

He will not only miss Uruguay’s remaining Cup matches, starting with Sunday’s round of 16 clash against Colombia, but also potentially all the 2015 Copa America matches in Chile. Uruguay are the defending champions.

Having been stripped of his World Cup accreditation, Fifa ordered Suarez out of the Uruguyan team’s hotel, as his teammates travelled to Rio de Jani-

ero for their next match. Suarez boarded a private plane in Natal with his wife, two children and an official of the Uruguayan Football Association.

Fifa had opened disciplinary proceedings against the star striker after an incident involving Chiellini in Natal on Tuesday.

In the 79th minute, Suarez pushed his head towards Chiellini in the penalty area. The infringement was not noticed by the referee at the time, but television footage showed him biting the defender’s left shoulder.

Suarez breached two articles of the Fifa relating to assault and unsporting behaviour towards another player, Fifa said.

“The player Luis Suarez is to be suspended for nine official matches,” it said. “The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming Fifa World Cup fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014.”

Uruguay said through their lawyer, Jorge Barrera, that they will appeal the ban. Suarez has already served two lengthy suspensions for biting opponents. - DPA

In brief Halves in the spotlight The combination between Warriors halves Shaun Johnson and Chad Townsend will be put under the microscope when they come up against the Penrith Panthers in tomorrow’s clash at Mt Smart Stadium. How well the pair execute their last tackle plays and kicking game will be crucial, and their match-up against Panthers pair Peter Wallace and Jamie Soward will no doubt prove pivotal to the outcome. Last week’s patchy win over the Broncos was achieved despite some below par kicking, from Johnson in particular, but Warriors coach Andrew McFadden says they need to improve in that area to beat the Panthers. “They’ve got an extremely good kicking game and it’s certainly something we’re going to have to match if not beat them with. But there are certain areas of our game we need to improve. It wasn’t all bad on the weekend but we need to be better that’s for sure.”

Raiders clash ‘must-win’ Veteran Wests Tigers prop Keith Galloway concedes tonight’s NRL clash with Canberra at Campbelltown is shaping up as must-win game for Mick Potter’s side. A stirring 23-20 win over Newcastle in round 13 was sandwiched either side of disappointing defeats to Brisbane and South Sydney, knocking the Tigers out of the top eight. After facing the lowly Raiders the jointventure then face three difficult clashes against high-flying Penrith, Manly and Canterbury. “It is a dangerous game,” Galloway said.

“We need a win, they need a win and they have a big pack and some speed out wide so we need to start well or they can hurt us.”

- AAP

Dugan back at the back St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has confirmed he’ll switch Josh Dugan back to fullback after next month’s final State of Origin clash. McGregor’s first move when he took over from Steve Price last month was to shift Dugan to right centre for the first time in his NRL career - the role he then filled for NSW in game two. However, with Dylan Farrell edging towards a return to action against North Queensland next week after tearing his pectoral muscle in round six, McGregor expects to restore Dugan to his favoured position after Origin three on July 9.

- AAP

Panthers ‘not surprising’ No one expected Penrith to be top of the table 10 weeks out from the NRL finals, but coach Ivan Cleary doesn’t believe his team are over-achieving. Cleary handpicked the likes of Jamie Soward, Peter Wallace, Elijah Taylor and Brent Kite to come to the club and do a job for him, and he’s not surprised in the slightest that they’re now delivering. Critics argue the Panthers have received a blessed ride through the first half of the season, thanks mainly to the fact they don’t have a single player involved in State of Origin.

However, Cleary has slammed that theory, arguing the benefits for having Origin representatives in your line-up far outweighs the drawbacks.

■ XTERRA EUROPE

Currie pushing to the limits Based at a high altitude training centre in France for the next three months, defending Coast to Coast champion Braden Currie is pushing himself from strength to strength before taking on the Xterra Europe circuit.

He will race in six countries over the next two months, beginning this weekend with Switzerland Xterra.

New Zealand’s foremost adventure and multisport racer left his Wanaka home at the beginning of the month and began a punishing training regime in Font Romeu, which is augmenting his already freakish, fitness levels.

“I have enjoyed training at altitude and being in the mountains,” Currie said.

“I have felt like my body has adapted really quickly to it.

“I often get to run up to as high as 3000m as there are some pretty big peaks around this area and I still seem to feel pretty good.”

The National Centre for Altitude Training at Font Romeu in southern France was built for an Olympic Games in 1986 and attracts some of the world’s top athletes, and includes a 50m pool at 1800m.

Currie has been swimming alongside fellow Wanaka elite athlete Nicky Samuels, who is training for the Commonwealth

Methven’s Braden Currie training around Wanaka before he left for Font Romeu, France, earlier this month to prepare to race on the European Xterra circuit.

PHOTO MILES HOLDEN

Games triathlon, aiming to sharpen his swimming times to ensure he is amongst the leaders coming out of the water.

“Font Romeu has been an awesome place to train with unlimited trails off your back door and an Olympic swimming pool 100m away.”

Currie has been focusing strongly on his swimming and mountain biking and is hoping the high volume training pays off.

“The challenge will be how I feel when I come back down.

“I have been told I need to race within four days of coming down or after eight days, as that is when you tend to perform at your best.

So this weekend will hopefully work well as I will come down the day before the race.”

The Xterra races are off road triathlons that usually involve a 1.5km swim, followed by a 30-40km mountain bike and a 10km off road run.

There are 12 races in total with Currie to race in six, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic and Germany.

After completing an intense three months, he will return to Wanaka with his family, where he will compete in Red Bull Defiance - a new concept of adventure racing in New Zealand.

Designed by Currie, the course is designed to test teams over two gruelling days. The course will see athletes competing over eight high country stations in the Wanaka region.

He is teaming up with fellow Wanaka multi-sporter Dougal Allan in a formidable pairing for the October 24 and 25 event.

■ OPINION

Richie nearing superhero status

H

ands up all those who have had the misfortune to suffer broken ribs.

Yes, quite a few . . .

So you know the basic rules already.

No sneezing, that is definitely out, hurts way, way too much.

Laughter the best medicine?

Not in this case, no jokes allowed, laughing causes upheavals in the chest area that in turn send messages to the brain saying ‘STOP!’ in no uncertain terms.

Breathing is sort of non-negotiable, but mostly its something that is done very gingerly, no sudden intakes of breath or anything of that nature. Hurt is the result of such irresponsible occurrences.

Getting up the scale a bit, there’s certainly no running down the River Trail to the beach and back, in fact as little movement as possible soon becomes the norm.

The thought of entering into a game involving physical contact would be laughable, except

that you really, really don’t want to laugh right now.

So. How does someone just ignore all the above rules, and not only enter into one of those physical contact things, but enter into it against a pack of giant men wearing white jerseys, all hell-bent on trampling you into dust, complete eighty minutes of hand-to-hand combat, and somewhere in there actually top the tackle count for a whole game of rugby?

For a start your name has to be Richie, and you have to be a superstar All Blacks skipper already.

And you have to delve deep into your own psyche to find a place where you can play through a pain barrier that for mere mortals would be completely untenable, just off the map altogether.

But he did, and turned in a super performance just to silence the correspondents to every newspaper and blog who were calling for his head because ‘his

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

time was over’, when all he was doing was demonstrating yet again why he is rated ‘Captain Courageous’ in any reputable rugby forum.

Remember this is the same Richie who went through the last World Cup campaign with three broken bones in his foot, meaning he could hardly practice at all, and only hobbled on to the field with the aid of painkilling injections, which must have worn off halfway through matches anyway.

Where in the pantheon of great All Blacks does that place Richie then?

Well over a century of test matches.

One of only two All Blacks to hoist the World Cup. Does it mean he’s surpassed

Buck Shelford, whose painful adventures against the French are well documented; is Richie in fact mounting the same stage as Colin ‘Pinetree’ Meads, widely regarded (venerated?) as the greatest of them all?

For those with shorter memories, Pinetree played test rugby against the toughest on the planet - the ‘Boks on their home ground - with his arm in a soft cast because it was broken.

How embarrassing for the hardest men of world rugby that they let a badly injured man complete eighty minutes of rugby against them!

Now I have no idea if Richie will be leading the Men In Black when they head out to defend their world champion status next year or not.

But in the not too distant past the man himself has said that if he isn’t up for it 100 per cent, then he won’t be there.

So if he says he’s fit and ready come England 2015, then on recent form that’ll be good enough for me.

Bailie Perriton on his own bike at Mallala prior to crashing, resulting in needing to borrow a bike for this weekend’s third round of the Australian FX Superbike series in Queensland.

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Bailie Perriton is back across the Tasman to contest the third round of the Australian Superbike FX 300 Cup championship in Brisbane.

The series has moved north to Queensland raceway which is a long drive, some 22 hours, for the Perriton team who are based in Melbourne.

At the last round in South Australia the Ashburton teenager was plagued by bad luck, with an engine failure and a high speed crash, but he still remains in third in the championship.

With limited time and funds his original bike could not be rebuilt in time, but thanks to the generosity of his fellow competitors who lent him an engine at Mallala, another bike has been loaned to him for this round, with team Kiwistars owner Merv Orford blown away by the support they have received.

“The incredible support of our local sponsors and the generosity of the competitors in Australia has been overwhelming” Orford said.

“We have been loaned equipment, been put up in people’s homes and loaned vehicles over the last few weeks to help us get back on track.”

Orford had a 96 hour trip to Melbourne where he only had 14 hours sleep as they prepared a new bike in just two days for the New Zealand 250 production champion to continue his pursuit to be a crowned champion on both sides of the Tasman.

It will be another tough call for the 16-year-old in Queensland, racing on the home track of the series leader Kyle Buckley, and with current runner-up Branden Demmery fresh from racing in Malaysia at the recent WSBK round at Sepang.

Both riders will be at the top of their game, but Perriton is looking forward to showing them what he can do.

“It’s funny that I’m back at home riding my 150cc bucket racer at Ruapuna and my nearest rival was racing on the world stage,” Perriton said.

“I’m really fired up for Queensland.

It’s a fast track but I know I’m better on the brakes than them, so they had better watch out.

“It’s not such a difficult track to learn as the others, so I hope I can spend more time working on race strategy”.

He also hopes that the experience and exposure will offer him the opportunity to continue racing both in New Zealand and Australia into the future, as he moves up to the most fiercely contested class of them all – the 600cc Superstock.

“I realise that jumping on the 600 will be a shock.

“There are 10 riders in New Zealand and 20 in Australia all capable of winning races, and the pace is of a world standard.

“But I know my experience on the smaller capacity bikes will give me skills needed to make my mark.

“I want to race in Asia and Europe as soon as possible.”

Steve Davidson is a keen motorcyclist, and attended the last round in Australia to support Bailie. “It’s an honour to sponsor Bailie, a young lad with so much natural and raw talent needs the backing of local companies to get him to the next stage in his racing career.

Bailie has got some great sponsors behind him but if we could get just a few more then we could really push him on to the international racing scene in Australia”.

There are now 3 rounds to go in the championship. With Bailie currently in 3rd position it is vital that he and the team can secure sponsorship for the remainder of the series.

A real chance to be heard Stu Oldham

EDITOR

M

id Canterbury principals and parents will be relieved that the Ministry of Education seems ready to listen to what they have to say about the future of our schools.

Many schools are either experiencing, or about to experience, significant roll growth as our province’s population grows.

On Thursday, a senior ministry adviser outlined the need for school and community engagement as the sector plans for almost district-wide roll growth.

The adviser stopped short of promising to implement community-led proposals but did, at least, suggest the ministry would listen.

Before the meeting, some principals speculated the ministry might want to impose more enrolment zones, roll capping plans or more building projects.

They would have been forgiven for thinking that they would have to live with a top-down solution developed entirely by officials from out-of-town.

There are plenty of examples of the heartbreak imposed “solutions” cause school communities.

This time last year, communities in Christchurch were grappling with plans to close seven schools and merge six others in the wake of the earthquakes.

The Government said it listened to communities as it developed its plans. Of course, some felt ignored and one successfully challenged its school’s closure in court.

Parents and principals will no doubt hope the ministry learned a thing or two about communication and inclusiveness in Christchurch and that collaboration is the catch-cry for Mid Canterbury.

It has to be. Our urban and rural schools remain important focal points in our ever-growing region. They do not just teach our children: they are a source of pride and they reinforce our sense of community.

Something has to be done to plan for ever-growing school rolls and, now that the ministry has signalled its intentions, we have to be ready to take the chance to help provide for our district’s future.

YOUR VIEW Wheels Week On behalf of the Wheels Week 2014 committee I wish to thank all of those good people who contributed to the success of the Wheels Week 2014 even this year.

There are a good number of people who are not on the committee who get no mention elsewhere whose input ensures the success of this district event.

In addition our sponsors, most of whom are listed on the Wheels Week website, are an essential part of the event and it would not be possible to run a wheels week without them.

The public are as important a part of the event as any other group; without them and their support then it would never take place.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter medical equipment will benefit to a significant extent when

all the proceeds are finally tallied up. We look forward to the 2015 Wheels Week; it will be the 25th anniversary of this event and will include appropriate celebration.

Ross Butterick Chairman, Wheels Week

Bridge voting What a great feeling to read of the support for Councillor Urquhart after the appalling treatment he received from a few fellow councillors and which influenced his abstaining from bridge voting in November.

He used his right to vote on May 22 only for the motion to be carried again by a switch of a councillor who had a change of heart, even though Councllor Nelson withdrew because of a “conflict of interest” which I believe should have been declared on the November vote

by David Fletcher

and when he moved the motion for the land designation.

It has been obvious from the very outset of the proposed route that it would impact adversely on hundreds of ratepayers, school children, the elderly, shopkeepers and landowners, which at very best, will be only a temporary fix to the longterm problem of increased traffic.

All of us agree that provision should be made for a second bridge, but after inviting ratepayers to provide “feedback forms” and then “submissions” the vast majority said the chosen route was in the wrong place, the council chose to ignore the ratepayers.

Question is, how many councillors actually read those submissions and attended their presentations, as there were many impressive arguments therein.

We are so fortunate that we have top-polling councillors Favel, Urquhart, Reverley, Ellis, Wilson, and Cutforth that listen to commonsense, are forward thinking and act with integrity and humility in the best interest of the ratepayer, qualities we expect and respect.

It would not take much working out to realise the amount of money already spent on Opus and their legions of consultants whose voluminous errorridden literature presented to the commissioners and council would have been enough to finance two sets of “T” intersection traffic lights in Tinwald.

It is sad that the mayor influenced the outcome of both votes with his casting vote when his decision is going to impact adversely on every Ashburton ratepayer.

A Mid Canty winter’s tale

he weather forecast may not have received the memo, but according to the calendar, winter is now upon us.

Usually such a season would be heralded by bone-chilling temperatures and soul-warming midwinter dinners to celebrate the solstice.

In Methven there is another way to tell the season, without resorting to a thermometer or the date.

The amount of gaudy GoreTex on display is a prime indicator of the highly scientific ‘ski index’ – the more saturated the town is in Burton snow clothing, the surer you can be that it must be winter.

Methven is a seasonal town, and that’s one of the things that makes it stand out for me as something different.

Auckland is a clock city, where the days tick by and collect into months and years without any major milestones to mark the seasons. Sure, it rains more in winter, but as for snow… well, the one occasion when a flurry of flakes almost landed on the CBD is now related in the hushed tones of myth.

Here, snow is the lifeblood.

When people talk about ‘the mountain’ no one needs to

Yes 33%

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you trust the Government to solve Mid Canterbury’s bulging school rolls?

CONTACTS Hanne Nielsen asks: Winter’s here, but where is the snow?

clarify which peak is in question. The first time we visited Methven, we arrived in the midst of the winter bustle.

There were people on the streets, the takeaway joints were open until 8.30 at night, and the locals were grumpy.

They had to queue for their groceries and were not guaranteed a park right outside the shop.

Coming from Auckland, we didn’t know what the fuss was about. Having to wait behind two people at Supervalue was nothing compared to rush hour at any inner-city supermarket.

This year, I think I finally understand. Having over-

summered in Methven, I am more attuned to the seasonal changes in the town.

As the days grow shorter, the queues do grow longer, and the cosmopolitan mix of the region becomes more audible.

Visitors bring their skis and enthusiasm, but also their own cultural expectations, and it can take a while to adjust. For the first time I was alert to the moment when dress codes shift, and wearing gumboots to the pub (even if they are fancy, styled, neoprene gumboots) puts you in the minority.

People in fluffy hats and ski jackets start trickling in one by one, until one Thursday the

balance is tipped in favour of neon parkas. From there, if you’ll forgive the pun, things just snowball.

Don’t get me wrong, as soon as those Antarctic blasts start playing ball and deliver some fresh powder to the hills I’ll be up there with the best of the beanie wearers.

Still, it’s been interesting to watch a seasonal town wake up as it ramps up towards the snow.

Now all we need is for the white stuff to take heed of the ‘ski index’, and then there will be no question that winter is indeed upon us, once and for all.

200 years of the Bible in New Zealand O n Christmas Day this year we celebrate 200 years since the Bible, the word of God, was first read and shared in this great country of ours.

Samuel Marsden, at the invitation of the young Maori Chief Ruatara, came and preached the first recorded presentation of the gospel.

The message was delivered on Christmas Day 1814 at Oihi in the Bay of Islands. From that original sermon the Bible message was spread throughout the country, largely by Maori sharing the message of hope, love and peace. The Bible made

Mark Taylor

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

a large difference to this nation when it first arrived here and the very foundation of this country that we enjoy so much today was established on the principles and teaching of this amazing book.

Today we have more Bibles available worldwide than ever before and that number keeps increasing. Over 100,000 bibles are sold or given away every year throughout the world.

But unfortunately, although there are more Bibles available today, I think they are read less than ever before. Our society, our government and even our churches are turning their back on the truth of God’s written word to us. I believe that we as a nation are suffering as a result of neglecting the truth and message of the Bible. This can be seen in the breakdown of relationships and the dysfunction in many families.

I believe that as we look back to the past it can inspire us in how to move into the future.

And one of the important parts of our past that we need to re-

capture is our engagement with the Bible.

The Bible changed our nation in the past which has helped it become the amazing place to live that we all enjoy today.

However, as I look to celebrate 200 years since the Bible was first shared here I am saddened by how our engagement with the Bible has reduced. I believe that for our nation to move forward with strong relationships, strong families and even a strong economy we need to re-engage with the truth of the word of God the Bible.

Keep cosy this winter Advertising feature

Boarding a flight to warmer climate for a break from winter is a wonderful temporary ‘‘fix’’, but coming back to a chilly, hard-to-heat home rather defeats the purpose.

So what’s available in 2014 to ensure you and yours get through to spring in comfort?

A whole lot more than there was 20 years ago.

Heat pumps are now part of the furniture in thousands of Kiwi homes and offices, but they were a big change when they first came on the market, and have continued to make incremental improvements in their heating (and cooling) performance.

The humble threebar heater has morphed into far more sophisticated radiant and convection options, and the

descendants of the column heaters that we remembered warming our hands on in school days are now a standard item in many homes.

Open fire places are still a Kiwi favourite, especially in the provinces where a gentler view tends to be taken on particular output than in the ‘burbs of our crowded metro centres.

Though the comfort and romance of a crackling wood or cosy coal fire is hard to beat, they are an inefficient form of home heating with a high proportion of the heat produced going straight up the chimmney.

Most homeowners back up the open fire with additional heating sources for that reason. Wood-burners are still popular too, and they have also come a long way from the pot-bellies and coal ranges of the past.

The price of electricity and other energy sources is only going one way and savvy home-owners should expect cost-efficient heat delivery in any modern heating option they’re considering—that’s a given, and what we should now be looking for is extra features or innovation that will provide a high level of performance well into an uncertain future.

Todays’s thinking is that a more holistic approach needs to be taken whatever market leading system you choose for the dwelling to be heated.

The HRV ‘‘whole home’’ ventilation system is a leading example of this approach.

The HRV system is not a heater, but it can heat and it does raise the base temperature of the house because it’s drying it out.

“

One third of homes in New Zealand have mildew and damp issues, and over 40 per cent have condensation issues.

One third of homes in New Zealand have mildew and damp issues, and over 40 per cent have condensation issues.

Obviously it is easier and more cost efficient to heat a dry home than one that holds damp throughout autumn, winter and summer.

Raising the ambient temperature through those seasons is done by harnessing the solar heated air that naturally gathers in the roof cavities of houses. The HRV system filters this ‘‘free’’ warm air , and then distributes it through the home.

The championing and subsidising of home insulation by government has seen a marked improvement in the number of homes better able to retain the natural and generated heat available to them.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) In the aftermath of Friday’s New Moon in your home and family sector there is likely to be a new sense of confidence, resolve and determination.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) With Saturn in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your relationship sector it’s important to give the past and unsaid words a voice and move on.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While Jupiter is giving you a sense of what’s possible and what you need to be aspiring to, the Sun highlights the practical steps to get you there.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) At an important point in your birthday month trust your gut and engage your imagination, determined to make this a year for no more excuses.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Whether it’s stolen moments where you can zone out, daydream and let your thoughts wander, you need some quality time out this weekend.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) As Venus spends her first weekend in your career sector and Mercury his last in retrograde motion there is a chance to regroup and review.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) While adventurous forces want you to embrace the weekend spirit, there’s a need to keep your professional hat on as well, retaining your edge.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The weekend provides a chance to put your financial desires, a smart head for money and a mix of hindsight and foresight on the same page.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Venus and Mercury come together to make this a special weekend for relationships, with doors open to new beginnings and second chances.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Personal and/or relationship tensions coming to a head are more a reminder that personal and relationship authenticity must go hand in hand.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With finding the right balance between work and play likely to be a challenge over coming weeks, get in some practice while you can.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) This is a weekend for making home and family matters, along with having fun and giving matters of the heart a priority, even if you juggle your time.
