Ashburton’s mayoral campaign could be shaping up to be one of the dirtiest in the Ashburton District’s history. Traditionally challenges for the mayoralty have seen public debates and a degree of touting for votes, but campaigns have been conducted in an open, transparent and mud-slinging free manner. This year’s mayoralty race could be won or lost on whether or not more voters support the sale of a block of council-owned land to a company that plans to bottle water, or whether they oppose this.

Bung the Bore Ashburton is the front of the opposition; mayor Angus McKay is in the other corner and in between is a battlefield of words that currently are being flung from the Bung the Bore corner via social media. This organisation is also pushing for its own mayoral candidate and is tipping councillor Donna Favel to be that person. Some of the accusations being levelled against Mr McKay are personal but he is remaining stoic under attack. It was part of a democratic society that people could have their say through the media, he said.

“They are free to express their opinions, that’s their democratic right.” While he is not actively following the Facebook debate, Mr McKay said he was aware of the comments that were being made. “I just hope people have a good discussion based on the scientific facts of the matter.” He did not want to venture an opinion on whether or not he believed some of the comments being made could be considered defamatory.

■ ST JOHN

■ ENERGISE CONFERENCE

Patients wait average of 20 minutes for help

Teachers immersed in technology

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

If you need an ambulance in Mid Canterbury, you can expect to wait an average of 19.2 minutes for help to arrive. Figures released to the Guardian by St John Ambulance yesterday show that crews are hitting national targets across most areas in Mid Canterbury, when it comes to reaching those in need within specified time frames. St John district operations manager Dion Rosario said the average response time to an emergency incident in Mid Canterbury was 19.2 minutes, and 13.2 minutes for high acuity incidents, and those results were pleasing. Incidents were broken down into colours – with purple being immediately life threatening like cardiac or respiratory arrest, and red being immediately life threatening or time critical, like serious bleeding. Nationally, the contracted target is to respond to 60 per cent of purple incidents within eight minutes, and in the past 12 months Mid Canterbury achieved 88.9 per cent. For red incidents the target was to reach 50 per cent within eight minutes, and in Mid Canterbury the figure was 73.6 per cent. Nationally, the target was 95 per cent of both purple and red incidents responded to within 20 minutes, and 95 per cent within 30 minutes; in Mid Canterbury the figures were down slightly, at

92.8 per cent and 92.5 per cent respectively. When it came to responses within 12 minutes, the national target for purple incidents was 60 per cent (Mid Canterbury was 74.3 per cent), and 50 per cent for red incidents (Mid Canterbury was 41.8 per cent). Ashburton had four ambulances, with a fifth available for times when there were volunteers available, and three first response units. In terms of staff there were 16 paid staff and 110 volunteers in the Mid Canterbury territory. There was always a chance that a call for help would come, when all available units were busy, and if that happened, there were other options. “Ambulances and resources can be sent from elsewhere, for example Christchurch. Where appropriate, we can utilise the rescue helicopter. We also work with first response units, such as Rakaia, to support our work,” Mr Rosario said. He said St John was dedicated to Mid Canterbury. “We do have challenges with volunteer recruitment, and increases in workload and demands on the ambulance service do play a part in the overall challenges we face. “However, St John is a vital part of Mid Canterbury, our staff and volunteers are committed to what they do, and we value and appreciate the support we receive from the community. We are here to help our community.”

Mid Canterbury Energise Conference has kicked off with nearly 300 teachers immersing themselves in the power of technology yesterday. The two-day conference, which is being hosted by the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association in conjunction with Cyclone, has consisted of workshops and talks about how to educate in the 21st century. The first day started with a talk from US technology in-

tegrationist Kevin Honeycutt before moving on to different workshops. Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Hilary Boyce said Mr Honeycutt’s speech was so engaging it moved some teachers to tears and others to hysterics. “He provided a really relevant message about the human side of education and the importance of knowing the students and caring about their future. “What Kevin has done for us is shown us the power of technol-

Mayoral campaign to be mud-slinger? From P1 “This is the life I have chosen to live. I hope I’ll be judged on what I’ve done over the past six years and what I intend to do in the future.” he said. “I’ll carry on serving the people of Ashburton, all of the people and I’ll be offering myself again as a candidate – to all of the people of Ashburton,” he said. One of his councillors might have been tagged by the action group as their possible mayoral candidate, but at this point, it

was too early to talk campaigns, Mr McKay said. He won’t be doing that until all nominations are in. “I just have to go on, business as usual, I have to be patient and I have to wait.” Council chief executive Andrew Dalziel said the issue of slander and libel via social media was now being tested in the courts. “They have considered the obligations of a person in control of a Facebook page in rela-

ogy in connecting the students who are a little bit more difficult to connect with.” Each workshop yesterday lasted the entire day with teachers working together in groups on plans they will be able to implement in the classroom in future. The general vibe so far is that all the teachers have found their workshops really rewarding and useful, she said. The conference continues today with more workshops and concludes with a talk from Australian humanitarian Khoa Do.

Where the person in control of the Facebook page has knowledge of a defamatory statement, made say by a third party on its page, it must remove those comments within a reasonable timeframe. Failure to do so means the person in control is liable in defamation,” he said. The council monitored its own Facebook page very carefully and took its legal obligation to remove inappropriate posts immediately, Mr Dalziel said.

■ CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY

New Kiwis welcomed By RuBy HaRfield

ruby.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton welcomed 20 new Kiwis into its midst during Ashburton District Council’s April Citizenship Ceremony yesterday. The new citizens from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Nepal, France, South Africa, Samoa, Kiribati and Afghanistan were welcomed by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay, Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and Hakatere Marae representative Jane Kelly. Irish couple Niamh and Oliver O’Neill were among the group with their six-month-old daughter Lilly. The O’Neills originally moved to New Zealand nine years ago after falling in love with Queenstown, which felt completely like home, while on holiday. They moved to Ashburton 18 months ago for work. The new citizens each received a citizenship certificate, a book about citizenship, a book about Mid Canterbury and a small kowhai plant to remember the special day. More than 30 of their friends and family joined them for the occasion followed by a lunch.

Twenty people from all over the world became New Zealand citizens yesterday.

■ NEW CIVIC CENTRE

Church land on the radar By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Methodist Church site ticks all the boxes as a location for Ashburton’s new civic centre and library, but it’s a site that may never become available. It was a late runner on the Opus Architecture short-list of possible sites and did not feature on the original list provided by the Ashburton District Council. In a presentation at yesterday’s council meeting, architect Colin Corsbie outlined the five short-listed sites and said the Methodist Church site had been identified and added to the list after the community consultation phase of the project. “We’ve approached them and

said that it’s a site with a lot of potential and they’ve given us the go ahead to include it in the list of options, but no decisions have yet been made on its future.” Whether it remained a contender was up to the church and that wouldn’t be known until the end of the year, Mr Corsbie said. “This site ticks all the boxes and they’re happy for it to be included.” In narrowing down the list of possible sites from 14 to six, community feedback was an important feature, he said. “The key things people were telling us was that they wanted a combined complex that was central, had good parking and access and was cost effective. “Although cost was an im-

portant factor, there was also a strong wish to have a facility that was good quality and would benefit the community.” The 14 sites were measured against 17 criteria, with the winner from the council’s list the site of the Balmoral Hall on the corner of Cass and Cameron streets. This, along with the church land, scored significantly higher than other contenders. “The short-list was the result of a lengthy process and listening to what the community was telling us,” Mr Corsbie said. The council has yet to approve the next stage of work on the project, but Mr Corsbie said this would involve developing and refining each one to see which would be the best fit for the community.

The community had shown a strong preference for co-locating the civic centre and the library, but councillor Neil Brown told Mr Corsbie he needed to keep upgrading the existing library in the mix. “We haven’t written the library off,” Mr Brown said. Darryl Nelson suggested that the Ashburton District Court could be another building that could be thrown in the mix if the existing site was used either for a rebuild or a remodelled complex on the same site. All of the short-listed sites were large enough to accommodate both a civic centre and a library, as well as significant parking spaces. All would allow for a new complex to be extended in the future, Mr Corsbie said.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

In brief

Long breaks hurt students By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Families that take their children out of school for extended holidays should ensure they are keeping up with education while away, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Hilary Boyce says. Ms Boyce, who is also principal of Wakanui School, said while it is inevitable that some children will have to miss school due to going away with their family it should not stop them from learning. “I think that again there’s pretty good evidence if you’re at school you are more likely to achieve success.” If families are taking children to places where they can explore the culture and visit museums and galleries then this is a positive life experience for them but missing out on school time to go to the Gold Coast was not advised, she said. However, as long as parents are aware of the need to keep their child up-to-date with their learning then there often is no problem with having an extended holiday. Cultural experiences such as one would have in Europe would be encouraged and definitely cannot be provided for at school, she said. Also visits to overseas family members are incredibly important for a child.

If a family asks for extra work, reading lists or advice to help their child learn while away most teachers are happy to oblige, although it is up to the individual school whether or not to help out, she said. Even if the child has been doing extra work while away they still miss out on other events and cultural activities that have happened at school while they were away. Most families try not to take their child out of school because they know the importance of being there but sometimes it can’t be helped, she said. Ministry of Education associate deputy secretary of student achievement Karl Le Quesne said absences during the school term, other than for illness or family bereavements, should largely be avoided. “While a holiday may provide valuable learning experiences, it can cause gaps in students’ understandings that are not easily detected. “In the senior years, there is emerging evidence of substantial impact on students’ NCEA where school attendance is variable, even for cumulative one day absences.” Also regular attendance at school develops a student’s sense of personal responsibility and commitment which are important life skills, he said.

Two accidents Emergency services attended two car crashes in Ashburton on Wednesday. The first – at 9.12am – was to a car which had hit a power pole on Melcombe Street. No one was injured as a result of the crash. Then, at 1.07pm, police and St John Ambulance were called to the intersection of Moore Street and Park Street where a car had left the road and crashed. A woman aged in her 80s was taken to Ashburton Hospital with moderate injuries as a result.

Crash victim named A young father from South Canterbury was the man who died in a horror crash north of Ashburton last week. Jessie Mark Coombs, 21, and a father of one, died at the scene of the crash just south of Chertsey on April 21. Coombs was the driver and sole occupant of a car which collided with a large truck and trailer unit on State Highway One at about 4.15pm. The driver of the truck, and his nine-year-old son who happened to be in the truck with him that day, were not injured in the crash.

Giving life to strangers Giving blood to give others life in Ashburton yesterday was Tracey Clemens. The New Zealand Blood Service was at the Ashburton Club and MSA and Mid Cantabrians went along in droves to give blood. Every week around New Zealand, 3000 Kiwis donate their time and their blood to help save the lives of others. Each year, 42,000 people will need blood or blood products and for many of them it’s the difference between life and death. The New Zealand Blood Service will be back in Ashburton again on June 22 and July 12, and new donors are always welcome. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 280416-TM-0039

District the winner from Wheels Week influx By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

The 26th annual Wheels Week is set to be bigger and better this year bringing nearly 25,000 people into the region. The two-week affair offers Mid Cantabrians, and those from other parts of the country, the chance to experience a number of different wheels-based events including races, a swap meet, a model show and street sprints.

One of the organisers, Tony Dawson, said the extravaganza will have the same events as last year but it will be bigger and better. “It seems to grow every year.” While all events were fairly popular in their own right, the Ashburton Speedway New Zealand Title, the AutoSparks Ltd Standing Quarter Mile Sprint, the Ashburton Plains Rotary Club Classic Car Run and the Ashbur-

ton Vintage Car Club Swap Meet always draw huge crowds. “Probably one of the really big things is the swap meet. People from all over come to that. It’s really quite incredible.” The swap meet usually kicks off the event but this year it is a week later to spread things out, he said. The event itself does not make a lot of money because the aim is to bring wheels to people at an affordable price, Mr Dawson said.

‘Objectionable’ Three slogans on Wicked Campers have been ruled R16 by the Chief Censor and are now “objectionable publications”. Associate Minister of Tourism Paula Bennett, who has led the campaign against the vans, has declared the move a “victory”. “It’s something I believed in and there wasn’t an easy solution to it. It does feel good being part of finding one. This is a real victory for everyone that has seen the vans and been offended by the awful slogans and images on them.” - NZME

Brutally assaulted

This year all proceeds will go to scouts in Ashburton. However, having thousands of extra people come to Ashburton is of huge benefit to the district’s economy including accommodation, food and retail. “In its entirety it brings about 25,000 people into the district over the course of the event.” Wheels Week will run from Saturday, April 30, to Sunday, May 15, with more than 20 events.

A source says Marcus Luke Tucker, whose body was found dumped in rural Canterbury, was known to rack up thousands of dollars of drug debts and was warned to pay or there would be consequences. Police today confirmed Mr Tucker, 36, was brutally assaulted prior to his death, and his body was burned. Several months ago he was thrown into the boot of a car by people dealing in drugs and left at a remote location, the source told Fairfax. - NZME

■ LIVING IN A HOUSE BUS

In brief

Loving life as a gypsy By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A year ago Kerry sold all of her belongings, bought a rusty old bus and joined the gypsies. It was the most liberating, wonderful experience of her life, and something the 56-year-old – who is now known as Gypsy Kerry – wishes she’d done earlier. Her once short, funky grey hair has been replaced by long, wavy grey hair with a touch of blue, and with her dog Fizzy in tow, she travels from town to town letting her creative side roam free. This weekend Kerry and The Original Gypsy Fair family will make the Ashburton Domain their home – an annual stopoff on their journey around the country – offering fun, entertainment and endless stalls. Every weekend it’s the same ritual, but in a different town, and Kerry loves it. A bus she calls Phoenix – because it rose from the ashes, a bit like its owner did – is her home, her workshop and her retreat from the world. Kerry is a cancer survivor who married, then separated, and raised three children on her own. She lived a “normal” life up until a year ago, but found her creativity was being stifled, so she sold up and joined the gypsies – something she’d always dreamt of doing. “This way of living is the one that honours me the most. I’ve done all sorts of work in different fields – customer service, looking after elderly people, sick people, but as far as self-gratification, this one is my most rewarding. It’s about me being true to myself in every way, shape and form,” she said. She was in her 40s when she decided something needed to change. But as she weighed up her options, what many would see as the more sensible path won out, and she studied, got a degree, and a “proper” job. “Then I went ‘holy heck, what

Dolphins captivating A pair of playful dolphins at a beach north of Auckland ground traffic to a halt and drew many into the water. The friendly duo was spotted yesterday quite close to shore on Little Manly Beach. Local resident Jaco van Tonder said people eager to get a look at the marine mammals caused a mini traffic jam. The friendly dolphins kept the small crowd entertained for hours and caused a minor traffic jam on Whangaparoa Road.” Mr Van Tonder also jumped into the water to join in the fun. He said it was the first time in five years he had seen them get so close. - NZME

Quake judgement

am I doing?’ Because there just wasn’t an outlet for my creativity. “I thought I’m not getting any younger and this lifestyle has always appealed, and the only thing stopping me was myself.” Wherever there was a gypsy fair, there was music, beautiful old house buses and like-minded, happy people. Kerry decided she wanted to be one of those happy people. So she bought an empty old bus off Trade Me, transformed it from “terminally ill” to a roadworthy, comfortable home and workshop, where she plies her trade, making beautiful beaded jewellery and clothing out of men’s ties, which she then sells at the fairs. Her home is a work in progress, and she loves it, but it did

take some getting used to initially. The hardest part was learning to live without a shower; instead, bathing with a bowl of warm water. “Showers are a luxury in the gypsy fair, because you can’t carry large amounts of water even if you do have a shower,” Kerry said. It was her first indication that gypsy life wasn’t quite all she imagined, but after a year, she’s still there, and loves it. “I now realise I had a very romantic view of the gypsy life. It is a beautiful way to live, meet people and travel. Every day is an adventure and every day is different,” she said. But it’s hard. Every weekend they erect their awnings and set up shop, and when the fair’s in

progress there’s barely time to even have a drink, or go to the bathroom. Then on Monday morning, they set off for their next destination; and every Monday morning Kerry gets butterflies in her tummy. It’s excitement about the possibilities that lie ahead. “I’m 56 and I’ve just started my life with the gypsies. It’s a lot of work and it’s not for the fainthearted, but it’s so rewarding,” she said. “I’m a firm believer that life is only what you make it; you only get out of it what you put into it.” ** The Original Gypsy Fair will be at the Ashburton Domain, off Walnut Avenue, from 9am until 5pm both Saturday and Sunday.

Ninety-eight Canterbury homeowners have won a landmark settlement with the Earthquake Commission (EQC), following a bid for a declaratory judgment in the High Court. The settlement clarifies EQC’s obligations under the Act, and removes reliance on Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment guidelines. Previously EQC has used phrases such as “pre-earthquake standard’ and “like for like” when describing their obligations which created the impression that the standard EQC had to meet was something less than as when new. This settlement clarifies that the standard required is higher. The group was not seeking damages, rather to clarify. - NZME

■ SYRIA

Airstrikes kill 20 in Aleppo A series of airstrikes hit a hospital and nearby buildings in the rebel-held part of Syria’s contested city of Aleppo overnight, killing at least 20 people — including two doctors and three children — as the UN envoy for Syria appealed yesterday on the US and Russia to help revive the Syrian peace talks and a cease-fire he said “hangs by a thread”. The chief Syrian opposition negotiator Mohammed Alloush blamed the government of President Bashar Assad for the deadly airstrikes on Aleppo. He told The Associated Press that the latest violence by government forces shows “the environment is not conducive to any political action”. The strikes hit shortly before midnight Wednesday, according to opposition activists and rescue workers. They struck a well-known field hospital in the rebel-held district of alSukkari in Aleppo. The dead included one of the few pediatricians remaining in the city’s opposition-held areas and a dentist, activists said. The head of the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 20 were killed, including three children, and that the hospital was completely destroyed. The Syrian Civil Defense, a volunteer first-responders agency, whose members went to the scene of the attack, said

Gisele Bundchen was told her “nose was too big” and her “eyes too small” as a teenage model. The Brazilian beauty weathered the criticism to become one of the world’s wealthiest models, since starting her career in the ‘90s. Bundchen has now earned more than a reported $A508.90 million since 2001, according to forbes.com. But the model reveals this may not have happened if it wasn’t for the support of her father, who gave her the courage to continue when her unique looks were criticised in her early modelling years. “I remember some people telling me my nose was too big or my eyes were too small, that I could never be on a magazine cover,” she shared in an interview with People magazine. “It wasn’t easy to be 14 and hear that kind of criticism. It made me feel insecure. I told my dad, and he said, ‘Next time, tell them, I have a big nose and that comes with a big personality’.”

A photo made from video posted online by the Syrian Civil Defense White Helmets shows a man helping an injured man as others stand in rubble after airstrikes and shelling hit Aleppo. PHOTO AP the al-Quds hospital and adjacent buildings were struck in four consecutive airstrikes. The agency, also known as the White Helmets, gave a slightly higher toll, saying 22 were killed. It said there were still victims buried under the rubble and that the rescue work continued. Among those killed were three of the hospital’s medical staff, they said. Alloush, who was one of the leading negotiators of the opposition in the Geneva talks, described the airstrikes as one of the latest “war crimes” of As-

sad’s government. “Whoever carries out these massacres needs a war tribunal and a court of justice to be tried for his crimes. He does not need a negotiating table,” Alloush told the AP in a telephone interview. “Now, the environment is not conducive for any political action.” The February 27 cease-fire has been fraying in the past weeks as casualty figures from violence mount, particularly in Aleppo and across northern Syria. Airstrikes earlier this week also targeted a training center for the Syrian Civil De-

fense, leaving five of its team dead in rural Aleppo. Since April 19, nearly 200 people have died, including at least 44 in an airstrike on a market place in rebel-held area in northern Idlib province, as well as dozens of civilians in government-held areas from rebel shelling. The UN envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, briefed the UN Security Council via video conference about the largely stalled indirect talks between the Western- and Saudibacked opposition and envoys from Assad’s government. - AP

Machines closer than ever to human brain The world is on the precipice of an artificial intelligence revolution, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says. Mr Wozniak told the Advance Queensland Innovation and Investment Summit in Brisbane, via a live feed from Orlando in Florida, machines were closer than ever to emulating the human brain. “I looked at the brain my whole life thinking we would

Gisele’s nose ‘too big’

never understand how it’s wired, never know what consciousness is, we would never know what intuition is,” he said. “And now we’re seeing so many signs that are getting so close - we speak to our phones, we can get answers.” Mr Wozniak said the artificial intelligence revolution would be separate from, and have just as big an influence on the world, as the digital revolution

that proceeded it. Machines will eventually develop methods to think on their own, he said. “A machine doesn’t yet say ‘what’s an obstacle of the world, what’s a problem of the world that needs solving and what is an approach I could take to solve it?’,” Mr Wozniak told the 1200 attendees. “We’re just at the verge of where the machines may take

off and go much further than even we humans could make them go.” Asked how the next generation could improve existing technology, he said new innovators should look at ways to improve everyday life, such as the way Uber and Airbnb have. “Look at normal life and say ‘in our lifestyle, how can we improve it with today’s technology, with apps?’,” he said.

Aids rumours anger fans The rumours that Prince died from Aids have been met with shock, disbelief and anger by fans. Gossip publication The National Enquirer made the allegation, quoting a source from a pharmacy Prince frequented. “The last night, though, we sensed he was in trouble. One girl said he had foreign medication and thought it was Zika virus or something, but my friend who knows the meds says he’s sure it was HIV meds,” an employee from Prince’s local Walgreens pharmacy in Minneapolis told the publication. But many of Prince’s fans refuse to believe claims he had the disease when he died suddenly at his Paisley Park compound near Minnesota last week. “Santa Monica paper claiming #Prince had AIDS & JehovasWitness preventd treatment. Bull! I’ve lost many 2 HIV. None lookd as well as he did,” Pierce Aero tweeted.

that house price inflation may be picking up in Auckland, having said it was moderating last month, and repeated that pressures were building in other regions. “Having been surprised back

in March, the market was open to the possibility of being surprised again,” said Darren Gibbs, chief economist at Deutsche Bank. “There’s still very much an explicit easing bias. The base case is one rate cut yet to be delivered,

maybe in June but it could be in August.” A change in scheduling of monetary policy statements means they are to be given on June 9 and August 11. The change was announced last August and means

in the NZX50, drifting back from its all-time highs. The RBNZ chose to leave rates unchanged at 2.25 per cent but implied that another rate cut was likely as the exchange rate remains inappropriately high. Risks facing the New Zealand economy cited by the RBNZ included low inflation, largely driven by falling fuel prices and lower importing costs. Although long-term inflation expectations are in the middle of the targeted range, short-term expectations have declined and this is continuing to cause concern. The weak dairy sector also remains a major concern to the domestic economy, even after the recent rebound. The RBNZ also cited house price inflation as an issue, as housing market pressures continue to grow. The exchange rate continues to be of concern, with the RBNZ commenting that it remains higher than is appropriate. However, following rates staying on hold, the NZ dollar strengthened. The NZX50 gained following the announcement, making up some of the ground lost earlier in the week. The Bank of Japan was the third and final central bank to meet this week and there was a slight lean in favour of further stimulus

being introduced. Earlier in the month, Governor Haruhiko Kuroda had said that the central bank would be willing to take the interest rate further into negative territory and could increase the already generous bond buying programme in an effort to stimulate the waning economy and to reduce the value of the stubbornly strong yen. However, as was the case with both the Fed and the RBNZ the Bank of Japan chose to keep its powder dry, surprising the market. Global reporting season has hit a higher gear this week, with almost 200 of the S&P500 companies reporting first quarter earnings. Expectations for the reporting season remain bearish, with a quarterly earnings per share decline of 7.9 per cent expected. The hardest hit sector is likely to be the energy sector, as falling oil prices squeeze margins. Of the companies that have reported so far, just over 57 per cent have reported revenue growth while 62 per cent have seen earnings growth. The most watched of the week’s announcements was from market heavyweight Apple disappointing investors as its quarterly profit fell 22.5 per cent and iPhone sales dropped for the first time ever. The share price fell more than 6 per cent, shedding around $US48 billion from its market cap.

arkets have had another mixed week, as investors sat on the sidelines at the beginning of the week in the build up to a number of central bank announcements yesterday. The global reporting season has continued to storm ahead, with this week being the busiest on the quarter’s calendar with almost 200 of the S&P 500 companies reporting. The Federal Reserve kicked things off yesterday morning at around 6am NZ time after its two-day monetary policy meeting. As was expected, the US central bank chose to hold rates steady for the moment. The market had been expecting some indication of when another rate rise might occur, however, were left wanting. The Fed’s commentary was somewhat even-handed, as they said “Labour market conditions have improved further even as growth in economic activity appears to have slowed”. Inflation is firmly in the Fed’s sights as it looks to get it to the targeted 2 per cent. Global risks hardly featured in the commentary, when previously things such as the slowdown in China and falling oil prices were given as large risks to domestic stability. Expectations are still for at least one rate rise this year with the June meeting firmly in focus for some analysts. Next up was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) Official Cash Rate decision. The market was split almost down the middle on what the outcome of the review would be, so leading up to the decision we saw a decline

Yet another mixed week

1/4

The New Zealand dollar jumped 1.3 per cent against the greenback after the Reserve Bank kept interest rates unchanged and repeated that easing may be required to get inflation back to its target while also noting a pick-up in house price inflation. The kiwi jumped to US69.30 cents after the central bank statement, from 68.44 cents immediately before the 9am release yesterday and from 68.81 cents late on Wednesday. The trade-weighted index rose to 73.34 from 72.46 before the statement. The two-year swap rate rose as much as 6 basis points to 2.26 per cent. Yesterday’s statement keeps alive the prospect that governor Graeme Wheeler will cut the official cash rate a quarter point to 2 per cent at the June 10 monetary policy statement, although his language yesterday was no more emphatic about easing than in March, when he surprised the market with a quarter-point cut. However, he did note yesterday

the MPS is released in February, May, August and November each year, rather than the older pattern of March, June, September, and December as part of a wider rationalisation of publishing dates. Gibbs said he didn’t agree a further rate cut is required, given there has been an improvement in the global situation since the March policy statement, dairy product prices have improved and both economic growth and inflation have picked up. Waiting until August would give the central bank even more data to base its decision on. “It’s hard to know why the market thought there was a rate cut in prospect today,” he said. While Wheeler pointed to house price pressures, he stopped short of hinting at further macro-prudential controls, instead giving a “somewhat bland” commentary. The kiwi rose to 91.09 Australian cents from 90.12 cents late Wednesday. It gained to 47.58 British pence from 47.16 pence and rose to 61.07 euro cents from 60.83 cents. - NZME

OUR VIEW

Bite the bullet and build from scratch Sue Newman

hether it’s a good use of ratepayers’ money, or not, there’s a new council administration building and library on the drawing board. The shape these new facilities will take is still very much up in the air. They may simply be a rebuild and structural strengthening of what’s already there or they may be new builds, on one location or two. However the project pans out, whatever the result, there’s little doubt it will happen and that won’t please every ratepayer. The council building and the library both need significant work to bring them up to the required building code standard in our new, post-earthquake environment; the existing council chamber cannot accommodate the number of staff on the payroll and the library is shored up with bracing and it too needs significant strengthening. Plus it leaks like a sieve, with shelves and books damaged every time there’s heavy rain. Yes, the new project will cost more than $16 million dollars, and, yes, as ratepayers we’ll be paying a slice of this, but it is expenditure that’s been planned for and budgeted for. And it’s an opportunity. We have a chance to ensure this new building is one that meets our needs today and in the future. We’ve been consulted and we will continue to be consulted as the project progresses. Currently consultation centres around sites and whether or not the two facilities should be colocated or continue to be sited separately. We’ve been asked for input during the initial stages of the project, but our response as a community wasn’t flash. We’ll be asked for input on several more occasions, let’s make a better job of it next time around. No point in complaining once the deal is done. It’s hard to get your head around the need to spend $16 million dollars on this project and it’s difficult to understand why it’s not far simpler to strengthen and refurbish what we have, but spend several million and we’ll still have old buildings. If we bite the bullet today and start from scratch, we’ll end up with facilities that will withstand whatever the earth throws at them and will last many years into the future.

Life’s just too short to miss concerts T

he death of Prince was not only a real shock but also a good reminder for me. I had been umming and aring about going to see The Cure in Auckland in July. I have been a fan of Robert Smith’s band since being introduced to them by namesake Andrew Smith when at Intermediate School. I would love to see them live in concert. I love live music! Ever since I saw Iva Davies and Icehouse in concert in 1981 at the Christchurch Town Hall I have loved live music. I would take a live performance over a studio recorded one every time. But it is going to be a busy time for us around that time as Manda and I move into our new home in Tinwald just a few weeks before. Of course our move is pending the approval of the many Mayors of Tinwald that have surfaced since news of our move broke. So far I have had approaches from Mayor Sheehan, Lawrence, Hill and Mayoress Craig. I’m expecting correspondence of some sort from Councillors Bell,

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Smitheram, Whiting and Heney in the near future also. Add to the fact that we are hopefully (please your worships) settling in to life in Tinwald, my mate in Auckland is not able to attend the concert with us, so I just about pulled the pin. Robert Smith is 57, same age as Prince and although I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, he looks like he’s been dragged through life backwards with a fair amount of kicking and screaming! Add to that a fear of flying that sees him sometimes take five brandies and a couple of insomnia tablets before boarding the plane. This could be the last time we see The Cure Down Under. Needless to say I went ahead and booked the tickets.

Robert Smith Somehow I can’t see myself on my deathbed saying “I wish I hadn’t gone to the concert and stayed home to settle in and save some money for our new mortgage”. I’m gutted I never saw Prince in concert. The man was incredibly talented and a bit weird, but it would seem most of the mega talented artists are. He wasn’t just a glorified Karaoke singer like many of today’s so-called stars are.

He was a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked Prince at number 27 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

In brief

■ CRICKET

Williamson to lead Black Caps New Zealand cricket has confirmed Kane Williamson as the Black Caps captain in all three formats. The 25-year-old has been a member of the Black Caps since 2010 and has already led the side in 36 short-form games, while earning widespread praise for his captaincy during the recent ICC World Twenty20 in India. He is the 34th captain to skipper the New Zealand team in any full international format, and is poised to become the country’s 29th Test captain - dating back to Tom Lowry in 1930. NZC CEO David White said Williamson was the right man to lead the team forward. “Kane has been a leader within the team for a long time now and already shown himself to be an extremely capable captain,” said Mr White. “He’s respected by his peers and the wider cricket community for his professional approach both on and off the field, and has a superb cricket brain. “His drive to see the team succeed and his passion for the game are what you look for in a leader. He’s ready for the role and will only continue to grow.”

Players competing at Wimbledon are set to be drug-tested more than ever before in the buildup to this year’s championships as organisers focus resources on out-of-competition testing. Scarred by a string of recent scandals, Wimbledon announced on Tuesday it was stepping up the fight against doping, without revealing any details. But in an email, the International Tennis Federation, which administers and part-funds the Tennis AntiDoping Programme (TADP), said Wimbledon had discussed its plans with the ITF and will focus on out-of-competition testing. The additional tests, which will be funded by Wimbledon, will be carried out by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), the ITF said. - AAP

Kane Williamson will captain New Zealand.

Jones’ famous temper look to utilise this. We’re all striving for the same thing and that’s to represent New Zealand with pride and win cricket games.” Williamson also singled out the work done by predecessor Brendon McCullum, and praising the environment inside the changing-room. “I’ve certainly learnt a lot from Brendon, as has everyone who has played with him. “The culture that he and Mike

Williamson, who is currently in India playing in the IPL, said it was a challenge he was looking forward to, but one he knew he wouldn’t face without a great deal of support. “It’s certainly an honour. I’ve really enjoyed my time spent as captain and believe this team can achieve a lot,” said Williamson. “I’m lucky to have a number of experienced players around me for support and will certainly

have cultivated has been a huge part of this team’s success in recent times. “We not only have good players, but good people too and that certainly makes any captain’s job easier.” The Black Caps next tour will be of Africa in July-August, with the Black Caps scheduled to play two tests in both Zimbabwe and South Africa. - NZ Herald

New tennis coach keen to start work Andre Van Rooyen has been appointed as the new head coach of Mid Canterbury Tennis. Mid Canterbury Tennis president Tony Brosnahan said Van Rooyen will begin his coaching duties at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, tennis clubs and schools in mid-July. “Andre will be a very good fit for us, being very experienced, with great coaching and playing credentials,” said Brosnahan. “He is available to coach at all levels of the game, from beginners’ programmes including Hot Shots, through club juniors, rep players, adults and even able to offer help and advice for veterans.” Van Rooyen comes to Mid

Wimbledon drug tests

Van Rooyen’s coaching experience spans beyond these shores, having also worked in South Africa, France, Germany and the UK. Before moving to New Zealand in 2008, Van Rooyen operated a tennis academy in South Africa, where a number of his students were selected to play for college teams in the USA. He has also coached and prepared players for the international competitive tennis arena, assisting those participating in the ATP satellite and challenger circuits in Africa, Europe and the US. Van Rooyen said he was looking forward to taking up his new role, and is eager to get to work.

Canterbury from Nelson, where he has been a head coach for more than four years. Before then, he coached in Southland, and also had a short stint in Timaru. During his time in Nelson, he contributed significantly to the growth of both junior and adult membership of the Nelson Lawn Tennis Club and the Tasman Bays Region. “Attracting new talent to tennis within the region is very important to me, as is developing our pool of talent further,” he said. “I’d like to see coaching programmes implemented which challenge players, whether competing at club level, regional level, or on the national stage.”

World Cup-winning Wallaby Owen Finegan is wondering how England’s Six Nations champions will cope with one of Eddie Jones’ famous temper tantrums during this year’s historic series in Australia. Never before have Australia and England - centuryand-a-half-old rugby rivals - ever contested a three-Test series. And rarely before has there been a build-up like this one ahead of the June match-ups in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. But 13 years after being dumped from Australia’s 2003 World Cup squad, Finegan remains bitter and has questioned whether Jones’ famously abrasive coaching style will work with England’s Six Nations champions. - AAP

Teen top batsman

Andre Van Rooyen

Teen prodigy Jason Sangha has become the youngest player in NSW cricket history to be awarded a state rookie contract. The 16-year-old batsman, who scored a century on debut for Australia’s under-19s last year, is just the third player behind Josh Hazlewood and Jake Doran to earn a contract while still in high school. Last year he became the youngest player in 90 years to play a second XI match for NSW. Fellow teenager Arjun Nair also earned a place in the largely unchanged senior squad. Offspinner Nair made his Sheffield Shield debut for NSW against South Australia as a 17-year-old.

■ MULTISPORT

Currie takes deserved break After defending his XTERRA AsiaPacific Championship title last weekend, Methven’s Braden Currie will take a month’s break to recharge and reflect on his past five years as an endurance athlete. Claiming his ninth XTERRA win on a cool and windy day at Callala Beach in New South Wales, it was the second consecutive year that Currie won XTERRA New Zealand and the XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship races on back-to-back weekends. The win marked the end of five years of solid racing and training for the 29-year-old. “I’m just so stoked to finish on a good race before the first dedicated holiday of my career, when you race professionally it doesn’t get much sweeter than that,” Currie said. But it certainly was not an easy last day at the office for Currie. The blustery beach swim was so rough that race officials changed the swim course from two laps with a beach run in the middle, to just one lap that went with the current. Currie emerged from the water less than one minute behind Australian swim specialists Ben Allen and Courtney Atkinson. “That swim was amazing, probably good for us Kiwis because we can’t swim like Courtney can,” said Currie. “It was so rough he couldn’t see where he was going so we could just follow his feet and keep in close contact with him - I knew coming out of the water it was going to be a good day if we were

Coach busted St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has reportedly been arrested for drink-driving last weekend. Channel 7 reports that McGregor was pulled over in Wollongong on Sunday morning where he failed a roadside breath analysis. McGregor was subsequently arrested and taken to the police station where he allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.063. Police charged McGregor with low-range drinkdriving and a court date is yet to be determined. - AAP

Blues hopeful

Red Bull athlete Braden Currie, of Methven, won the XTERRA Asia Pacific Championship in Australia at the weekend. PHOTO TREY GARMAN that close to him.” By the midway point on the bike it was a three-man race with Currie and Allen trading leads and New Zealander Sam Osborne never far behind. After gaining a winning edge on the mountain bike, Currie held the lead over the run to finish in two hours, 11 minutes and 46 seconds, nearly two minutes ahead of Osborne (2:13:38), with

Allen third in 2:14:27. Currie’s two XTERRA successes over the past fortnight cap off an exceptional 12 months where he became the first Kiwi athlete to win the New Zealand off-road triathlon championships, New Zealand Olympic distance triathlon championships and New Zealand long distance triathlon championships all in the same year.

“I do feel stronger now than I’ve ever been and I’m very passionate and motivated to make off-road a big focus for me,” he said. “Coming second last year has only made me more determined to win at XTERRA worlds this year. “The last few months have given me a solid foundation to start building on.”

The Blues are confident their All Black lock Patrick Tuipulotu will be cleared to play against the Rebels at Eden Park tomorrow, despite bracketing him with Hoani Matenga. Tuipulotu is recovering from a broken hand suffered in the victory over the Jaguares on April 2 and likely to be named in the second row alongside Josh Bekhuis. The only other change is the return of centre George Moala, for Rene Ranger, who is out for the rest of the year after rupturing an ACL ligament in the win over the Sharks a fortnight ago. - NZME

Four years ago, Nadal was selected to carry the Spanish flag at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, but had to pull out of the games with an injury. The honour went to NBA star Pau Gasol instead. Nadal was unanimously chosen as Spain’s flag-bearer for the games in Rio de Janeiro. - NZH

beaten team Southern. Defending champions Southern snuck past a defiant Hampstead 38-33 in their last outing, while Mt Somers disposed of Methven (68-15) in convincing fashion to perfectly poise an encounter that has all the makings of a thriller. Celtic are in hot pursuit of the

top two after seeing off Allenton 19-17 in last weekend’s nail-biter, and will look to pile more pressure on the points table’s summit by downing Collegiate. In the afternoon’s other fixtures, Rakaia will be out to put last weekend’s 31-10 loss to Collegiate behind them when they face Allenton, while Methven

hope to register their first win against Hampstead. Michael Duff Memorial Trophy fixtures: Collegiate Senior B v Celtic Senior B, 2.45pm. Methven Senior B v Hampstead Senior B, 1pm. Rakaia Senior B v Allenton Senior B, 1pm. Southern Senior B v Mt Somers Senior B, 1pm.

Injured superstar Steph Curry was out, but it did not matter with Andrew Bogut and the rest of the Golden State Warriors ruthlessly knocking the Houston Rockets out of the NBA Playoffs. The Warriors were never challenged. They jumped to an 8-0 lead in the opening minutes, were up 59-37 at halftime and eventually put the Rockets out of their misery with a 114-81 win on their home court in Oakland yesterday. It gave the defending NBA champions a 4-1 first-round series victory. - AAP

■ GOLF

In brief

Leaders set hot pace

Force united Western Force coach Michael Foley is adamant his squad remain united, saying no one’s sooking in the corner despite the team’s six-match losing run. Pressure is mounting on Foley and the Force following their 1-7 start to the year, with the team desperate to bounce back from last week’s 4913 Super Rugby hammering at the hands of the Waratahs. The former Wallabies hooker, contracted until the end of next season, says he’s not worried about the growing external chatter surrounding his position. Foley said seeing a mother and daughter lay a wreath at Monday’s Anzac Day dawn service put things into perspective.

Finlay Jones (right) was in action during another fine day at the South Island Under 19 Golf Tournament at the Tinwald Golf Club yesterday. The tournament boasts some of the finest young golfers in the country and Russley’s Hiroki Miya and Tim Parker are setting the pace in the boys’ section. Miya continues to lead the way after shooting an 11-under par 133 total after two days of play. He is followed by Parker with a five-under par total 139, while Nelson’s Sam Nichols rounds out the top three at four-under par 140. Meanwhile, Russley also boasts the best of the girls so far, with Juliana Hung on even-par 146 followed by Hilary O’Connor who shot at one-over par 147.

■ RUGBY

Methven, Hampstead look for bragging rights By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition is reaching the business end of the round-robin section as the teams kick off game-day six tomorrow. Methven will host Hampstead while Celtic travel to Ashley, Rakaia entertain Hornby and Southern welcome Ohoka. Mid Canterbury’s section one teams, Methven and Hampstead, will lock horns for local bragging rights. Andy Pearce’s Methven are yet to pick up a win and are holding up the rest in section one. But the extra incentive of a Mid Canterbury derby to break their five-match losing streak will add plenty of spice to the much anticipated clash. Hampstead’s return to form with two consecutive wins came to an abrupt end in their week five outing last Saturday. Regan Broker’s side fell in to old habits during their 35-0 humbling against Saracens. Broker drew parallels from the poor display against Glenmark three weeks earlier, and insisted his players must now rally to ensure a return to winning form against a Methven outfit with plenty to prove. Celtic will be out to put their 22-5 loss to Waihora behind them when they face Ashley tomorrow. Shane Enright’s team struggled to string phases together last week, but will hope to capitalise on a wounded Ashley, who tasted defeat for the first time this term against Darfield in their last outing. Rakaia will be heavy favourites when they host Hornby tomorrow. The Watters Cup holders boosted their top four credentials last week with a convincing 59-12 win over a hapless Prebbleton, while fellow top spot-elect teams Celt-

North Queensland fullback Lachlan Coote says he was very close to agreeing to a four-year Sydney Roosters deal but had no regrets about sacrificing a reported $1.8 million and re-signing with the Cowboys for another two NRL seasons. “It was pretty tough knowing they were offering a fouryear deal and it was just two years here,” Coote said on Thursday. “But I would have regretted more leaving here than turning those offers away.” The Cowboys initially told Coote in February to look for another club but came back to the negotiation table. - AAP

ic and Ashley faltered. In contrast, Hornby sit at the bottom of the section two ladder, having failed to win this season. Meanwhile, Southern will be out to build upon their maiden win of the campaign. Michael Ellis’ team brought their losing run to an end with a 25-15 victory over Hornby in a battle at the bottom of section two a week ago. Another win will be a tough ask, however, against a Ohoka outfit that have registered two wins so far, albeit over Prebbleton and Hornby.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A loved one has proved dependable but much depends on the extent to which you’re taking things. It’s also important to have a full and balanced life outside of a key relationship. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Victory! Success! Profit! These will be yours. First, you’ll spend many hours in service, contribution and humility. That first part of your day will be the most memorable and awesome. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There’s little to be gained from arguing. It won’t sway the ones who believe differently, so you can save your breath. You’ll influence best through attraction, not argument. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Without you, an upcoming event has real “snoresville” potential. Are you willing to step in to give it your signature sizzle? They need you! You’ll have fun turning this thing on its ear. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Success favours you. Maybe it’s the way you flirt with it all the time, chumming up, batting your lashes, sharing secrets. Success finds your fun, lighthearted energy totally irresistible. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Keep your eyes open and hands free so you can snap up juicy opportunities. Today will feature an invitation, a new connection and a hot tip worth moving on immediately. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There are quite a few logistics to work out, and people won’t be communicating very well on the matter. You’ll have to be the responsible, thorough one. In the name of clarity, ask more questions than you normally would. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You would find it easy to shake and rattle a person’s confidence. Realising the fragility of the human condition, you search for ways to build up those around you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Love has been compared to a battlefield, a paradise and a head cold -- all apt descriptions, depending on the day and the love in question. You’ll have your own unique comparison for love by the day’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ve subscribed to the adage before, but the problem with the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach is that winning takes a mindset that would rather go down in flames than “join ‘em.” AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Often the changes that seem magical and miraculous are merely a matter of consistent, daily effort made over a long period of time. The tricky part is keeping up the effort. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Some of the things you tell yourself are less than supportive, but you should make it up to yourself now. Get positive about yourself, and give yourself tangible proof of your loyalty.

Win for Methven Methven goal attack Kimberley Gibson pulls in a high pass during her team’s game against Ashburton College at the EA Networks Centre last night. Methven won 41-32, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. Greta Currie’s side led throughout, taking a 13-10 lead in to the end of the ﬁrst quarter before extending their advantage to 24-17 at halftime. College fought valiantly in the third quarter but were outscored again, nine goals to seven. The ﬁnal stanza saw both sides score eight times, but the damage had already been done for Methven to take a deserved win. Pick up tomorrow’s Guardian for a full premier grade netball round up.

Business as usual for Chiefs Another major injury blow and another business as usual response from the Chiefs. The Super Rugby leaders will be without Tawera Kerr-Barlow until after the June test window following confirmation the All Black halfback has broken his hand in a random incident in last week’s match against the Hurricanes where he accidentally clobbered the back of Aaron Cruden’s head. They will also have to face the Sharks in New Plymouth tonight without back rowers Tom Sanders and Maama Vaipulu and lock Michael Allardice – all of whom are suffering the effects of concussion. Also unavailable are in-form

backs James Lowe and Charlie Ngatai. But it has been a feature of the Dave Rennie coaching era that expectations are not adjusted in the face of injuries. Several times this year they have had to deal with multiple injuries and yet the quality of their rugby has rarely suffered. The men who come on have all delivered and Rennie is of the view that has to be the case again when they face a Sharks team that will be confident after clinging on to beat the Highlanders last week. “The positive thing around injury is that more guys get opportunity, it grows your depth,

you learn more about individuals, and so on,” Rennie said yesterday. “We’ve got a really good group, hard working. I know we’re a pretty young side, but I’m really happy with the effort they put in. We’ve got a group of leaders who are doing a great job in bringing those young fellas through, they dedicate a lot of time to them outside of training. “In the end, everyone suffers injuries, and you’ve just got to get on with it. No one looks back and says you win or lose because of injuries, it’s just whether you win or lose. “We’ll have a reasonable side on the park and we won’t be using

injuries as an excuse.” Having already lost another All Black halfback, Augustine Pulu, to a broken arm, the Chiefs have had to call in Kayne Hammington to the bench. But despite being down to their fourth-choice, KerrBarlow’s injury is likely to have more significance to All Blacks coach Steve Hansen than it does to Rennie. By the World Cup last year, KerrBarlow had established himself as the No2 halfback behind Aaron Smith and was frequently making useful late cameos off the bench. His accuracy and speed of decision-making greatly improved and he was able to inject himself

into tests and make a telling impact. While Kerr-Barlow hadn’t been in such rampant form in the early part of this year, he was still expected to feature in the June tests and be involved against Wales. But that won’t happen now and arguably that opens the prospect of Kerr-Barlow’s Chiefs teammate Brad Weber to further press his claim with the national selectors. Weber has been in compelling form and his running game, especially, has been prominent. Blessed with incredible pace and acceleration, Weber has been able to spark the Chiefs into some of the best attacking rugby. - NZME
