THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

The fight’s over

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The community has won its fight to have barrier arms fitted at Ashburton’s Northpark Road rail crossing, the site of two fatal accidents and countless near misses.

And that achievement is a red letter day for the 4000 people who signed a petition calling on Kiwi Rail to up safety measures at the crossing, said Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay. On Wednesday, Mr McKay and council chief executive Andrew Dalziel met with representatives from KiwiRail and the New Zealand Transport Agency, putting the case for barrier arms to be added to the planned upgrade of

warning bells and flashing lights at the crossing.

“This is an excellent result, one that has come about through a lot of hard work and cooperation from the organisations involved,” Mr McKay said.

KiwiRail and the council had been working together since the start of the north-east industrial park development with an expectation that upgrades at the crossing could be needed as traffic volumes built up in the future, he said.

Under a Deed of Grant signed in 2007, the council must foot the bill for all safety improvement work. It can, however, claim those costs back from the New Zealand Transport Agency.

That deed was signed when the north-east business park was developed and spelled out that while the council might initiate safety measure upgrades, it must consult KiwiRail first. The deed also makes it clear that all costs associated with changes at the crossing would be paid for by the council, KiwiRail external relations manager Deborah Hume said.

The council made a formal approach to KiwiRail on Wednesday resulting in a sign-off on the barrier arm project. It will come with a price tag of about $90,000 on top of the $220,000 already being spent on warning bells and flashing lights, costs the council will initially pay.

On Tuesday’s show during a segment about Blue Ivy’s hypothetical thoughts at the MTV Video Music Awards, guest host Karrueche Tran said: “I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair.” Blue Ivy joined her mother onstage at the VMAs.

$5m for unbuilt penthouse in Auckland A luxury penthouse in a central Auckland apartment complex has sold off the plans for more than $5 million less than a week after agents began marketing the yet-to-be-built project.

The deal makes the 400sq m penthouse among the country’s priciest and most lavish. It boasts a home theatre room, four bathrooms and 75sq m of decking – “enough to play host to a spa pool complex, petanque pit and even a badminton court”, according to Bayleys Auckland. The ritzy digs are part of a luxury “resort-style” apartment complex that will feature a personal concierge to organise residents’ theatre tickets, drop off their dry cleaning and valet their cars.

In August 1921, the shooting death of a constable in Timaru was attracting attention. The Guardian recorded the following on August 29: Constable Dorgan lived for about 10 minutes after Constable Christopher reached him. He did not indicate who shot him. Constable Dorgan’s torch was found in the corner of a yard, and shuffled footprints prove that some chasing, if not a scuffle, occurred before the shooting. At present there is no clue to the culprit. Police are up against a blank wall.

Yet at Ngawha Prison, just east of Kaikohe, inmates are learning to sew and making quilts for charity. A few have mastered embroidery and one has became quite an expert in crochet scarves. The idea is to give the inmates skills they can use once they are released, as well as keeping them usefully occupied while they’re still inside. Inmate Quinn (not his real name) had never used a sewing machine two months ago and started by making children’s bookbags. He is now making quilts for children’s hospital wards. Most of the stitching is done by machine but he does the embroidery, including his signature and cartoon figures, by hand.

■ NORTHPARK RAIL CROSSING

Bitter-sweet moment for family

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the installation of barrier arms was approved for the Northpark Road rail crossing it was a bitter-sweet moment for the family of the site’s last accident victim.

George Ellis was killed at the crossing in July when his truck was struck by a train and while the family was still grieving the loss of the young man, his aunt Chris Bristol said the outcome was positive for the community.

“As a family we’re pleased to know that no other family will

have to go through what we have,” she said.

For George’s family, Ms Bristol wanted to thank the community and the businesses that had put their energies into pushing for the installation of barrier arms.

Rural Transport staff were celebrating yesterday when they heard the news, with general manager Jim Crouchley relieved his staff would soon have the ultimate in safety measures at the crossing.

The company’s headquarters is just a few hundred metres

from the crossing and staff had become so concerned about its accident potential they avoided using it, travelling a longer route along State Highway One, Mr Crouchley said.

With two deaths and many near misses, he said it was only a case of when, not if, there was another fatality.

“I feel much more comfortable in our work environment knowing that our staff will be protected from any further events.”

Not only did Rural Transport staff fear using the crossing, they also lived in fear that they

would witness an accident, Mr Crouchley said.

“It’s still six months to go, but that’s better than nothing.

At least it’s happening. We just hope and pray nothing happens between now and then.”

KiwiRail has confirmed an upgrade of Compton Street in Tinwald.

Crossings at Delamaine Street in Hinds and the Hinds and Winslow-Westerfield Road crossing were on a previous upgrade list that has since been revised.

In his role as region four area

representative for the New Zealand Road Transport Association Mr Crouchley said he was aware of concerns over safety issues around the Winslow crossing because it was well used by large trucks travelling west of the State Highway.

September 4 is commissioning day for the first stage of the upgrade, but because design work has just started, it could be about six months before the barrier arms are installed.

Ultimately the bill for both upgrades will be footed by the NZTA.

George takes a dive at 85 By eriN TaSker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

George Crack became the oldest person to jump out of a plane with Skydiving Kiwis in Ashburton yesterday.

But the jump was as much of a surprise to 85-year-old George as it was to anyone else.

It was a last-minute decision after heading along to watch Guardian boss Desme Daniels and Hoops from Hokonui Radio take a dive to launch the Toss Your Boss competition on Wednesday.

He thought it looked pretty good so decided to give it a go. Less than 24 hours later he was freefalling from 12,000 feet with Lee Barraclough strapped to his back.

“It had always been in the back of my mind to perhaps do one of those ones with a glider, but the thing that put me off that was jumping off a hill,” Mr Crack said.

Jumping out of a plane sounded like a much better idea.

Mr Crack – who described himself as a bit adventurous - said he couldn’t have picked a better day to jump. Mt Cook was clearly visible and the Plains were a sight

to behold. He soaked in that view and jumped without hesitation.

“I wasn’t actually nervous, I was more curious about how it would feel when I did go.”

He’s done some memorable things over the years including his many long distance feats on his trusty bicycle. He’s also ridden an elephant, had a snake draped around his neck, and six or seven years ago while on the Gold Coast he rode a rollercoaster, or “one of those things where you hang from the shoulders”. He didn’t like that at all.

“I would never think of doing that again; it was a bit hard.”

But he’d jump from a plane again.

“I wouldn’t hesitate actually.”

The jump saw Mr Crack become the oldest to jump with Skydiving Kiwis in Ashburton. The oldest prior to him was about 73, but instructor Mr Barraclough had done a tandem jump with a 92-yearold before.

Skydiving Kiwis marketing manager Sophie-Claire Violette said the youngest skydiver they’d had was just six and the George Crack became the oldest person to skydive with Skydiving Kiwis yestertwo age extremes showed that anyone day when he jumped from 12,000 feet with instructor Lee Barraclough. could do it if they set their mind to it.

While progress on developing a health care hub in the grounds of Ashburton Hospital was frustratingly slow, Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said he is confident the project would be achieved.

“I see this as a crucial component of health care in this district and my wish is that people have a 24/7 opportunity to be seen by a GP – within reason,” he said.

On Wednesday, the Ashburton District Council’s health liaison committee met with Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates and was told the health hub or family health centre was a “moving target”.

“He said he’s still doing his best to bring it about and we offered him every council assistance to make that happen.

He was adamant it was his organisation’s role to make sure people had the level of services that’s funded by the government.

“I’m confident this will happen,” Mr McKay said.

He said he was aware that many people felt insecure around their ability to receive health care when they needed it.

“I am determined to see this solved in a sustainable way, going forward. What right do we have to phone a doctor who has done a 10

Death at port A man has died following a workplace incident at Port Lyttelton yesterday afternoon.

WorkSafe New Zealand has been informed, and an investigation into the incident has begun, police said.

hour day already. I do wish we were moving faster with this but we’ve been assured, they’re moving as fast as we can.”

In terms of the hospital’s $8.5 million plus rebuild, while that had also been a painstakingly slow project, Mr McKay said he was confident the delays had been unavoidable.

“They were all asbestos related but now the final plan is apparently ready to proceed to tender,” he said.

Mr Meates had earlier issued an assurance that the CDHB was committed to providing “the right care in the right place at the right time” for the Ashburton District and said the community could have confidence that there were no plans to reduce services.

The rebuild will provide the hospital with a new theatre and procedure room, an extension to the current Acute Admitting Unit, and earthquake strengthened and refurbished wards.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

A taste of Asian cuisine Business was brisk for Ashburton College cultural committee members as they served fellow students and teachers a delightful array of Asian samplers this week during International Food Day. Committee member Tessa Puleaga (pictured left) served up a Thai dish of vegetable tempura to one happy teacher but there was a range of Asian dishes which included onion bhajee, samosa (Indian) green sushi (Japanese) and wontons

with prawn crackers (Chinese).

Most of the dishes were supplied by Ashburton businesses who generously got behind the event.

College pupils got to sample different items for just $1, enough to recoup costs.

The food day was part of the week-long cultural celebration for arts and language week with food, music, entertainment and games to acknowledge other cultures on different days throughout the week.

A P user who raped and murdered a Christchurch woman before attacking two hitch-hikers on the West Coast was yesterday sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 21 years. Aaron Rhys McDonald, 39 was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch yesterday.

As well as receiving a sentence on the murder charge of 21 years in jail before he can apply for parole, he was sentenced to preventive detention on the rape charge with a minimum non-parole period of seven years, eight months. - APNZ

■ ROAD SAFETY CRACKDOWNS

Police stand by warning stance

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury people say they want to be surprised, not pre-warned, when police are about to crack down on crime.

But police are standing by their stance, which twice in recent weeks has included warning people through stories in the Guardian that they were planning weekend clamp downs on alcohol related crime, saying it’s about prevention first.

The explanation came as the majority of answers to a question posed on the Guardian’s Facebook page yesterday preferred the element of surprise, over prior warning.

“Why announce it? That would be like announcing you are going to do a raid on a p-lab. It doesn’t make sense to warn anyone, just do it,” Angie Jessep said.

“Let it be a surprise! Otherwise people are just not going to do what they were intending to do,” Cheryl Kerr said.

A poll on guardianonline.co.nz also saw more than 80 per cent of voters disagree with police pre-warning the public.

Shelter needs new home

By GEorGia WEavEr

editorial.s@theguardian.co.nz

An animal shelter that needs to find $500,000 to secure a future is itself helping another cash-strapped animal agency.

The Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter needs a $500,000 fillip to buy land to house the dogs it fosters.

At the same time, it this week confirmed it would merge with Tiny Paws, a Rakaia-based dog shelter that has been self-funded by its founders.

The shelter has offered to pay the last of Tiny Paws’ bills.

Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter Trust

president Dawn Norn said her organisation needed a new home within 18 months as the owners of the farm it currently occupies are looking to sell.

The shelter needs about five acres of land closer to Ashburton.

“We would like to build it from scratch,” she said.

“We just want to build the facilities that we need. That will take some time.”

For its own fundraising, the shelter has set up a foundation through the ‘Give-a-little’ online scheme.

The shelter has run for about 20 years and Ms Norn said she would hate for it to have to close.

Scott Banfield said the New Zealand Police strategy on prevention policing strongly supported any concept of early intervention.

“Our overall aim is to reduce victims and offending in our communities but also to do it in a fair manner while keeping people out of the court system that can then focus on justice around the more serious offending.”

Not everyone who took to Facebook yesterday felt the element of surprise was important.

“I don’t think it matters, as long as it stops people from misbehaving. It’s like flashing your lights to warn of a traffic police car, yes they may avoid a fine, but it still gets them to slow down,” Sara Stephens said.

“It doesn’t matter so long as they are doing it (their job). If it prevents potential road accidents and deaths then it is worth it! Folk might think twice about drinking and driving when they know that they will probably get breath tested.

But there always will be half-wits,” Maree Lawlor said.

■ REVERSE MORTGAGES

‘A product whose time has come’

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Growing numbers of retirees in the Ashburton District are earning themselves retirement cash by taking out reverse mortgages on their homes.

The scheme, where over 65s can turn some of the equity in their homes into cash has been around for some time, but it is undergoing a resurgence of interest says Heartland Ashburton branch manager Andrew Wilson.

Nationally, a study by De-

loitte shows the reverse mortgage market is stagnant, but Mr Wilson believes it is a product whose time has come.

“It’s aimed at New Zealanders who might have little in the way of savings but who want to make their retirement years a little easier, who want to have a little more money so they can enjoy life while they still can,” he said.

Most were conservative in the amount of cash they borrowed and usually this was for a specific purpose such as travel, a

new vehicle or private medical care to sidestep the public waiting lists, Mr Wilson said.

The reverse mortgage system can be used by anyone 65 and over with a house valued at more than $250,000. The amount that can be borrowed is equal to the age of the youngest person, if a couple, minus 45 years. Interest is charged annually at between 1.5 per cent and 2 per cent above the floating residential rate and this is compounding.

For a 75-year-old with a house

valued at $300,000, maximum borrowings would be $90,000.

The reality is, however, most borrow far less, usually between $10,000 and $40,000, Mr Wilson said.

“We’re dealing with a demographic that is pretty cautious and frugal and still has the Kiwi mindset that they want to leave an inheritance for their children, but ultimately this is about making the retirement years more enjoyable for these people,” he said.

The scheme guarantees the

■ ASHBURTON MEETING

Labour MPs give their vision for the future

BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Labour MP Poto Williams was in Ashburton yesterday speaking to a small gathering on her vision of the future under a Labour-led Government.

She was joined by Rangitata candidate Steve Gibson in a relaxed, informal session and the pair talked health, home ownership, education, wages and elder care and how these issues would be addressed under Labour’s policies.

When it came to the workforce, Ms Williams said Labour would be focused on reducing unemployment, increased minimum wage, removing the fire at will law and establishing a fairer tax system.

On the education front the focus would be on smaller class sizes, more teachers, more paid parental leave and computers for every child.

Several people at the meeting were concerned that the community’s needs were being pushed aside for the needs of business.

Ms Williams said that La-

mortgage holder life time occupancy of their home and interest can be repaid annually or it can accumulate on top of the amount borrowed.

People inquiring about the scheme were often cautious, but Mr Wilson said he always encouraged them to talk with their families and to seek legal advice before committing.

“It’s not for everyone, There are families where children expect an inheritance whereas others just want mum and dad to enjoy life a bit.”

In brief Shock resignation An emotional Tony Avery wishes he could turn back the clock and stop the alleged $1.5 million Citifleet fraud. Instead, Mr Avery – one of the Dunedin City Council’s top managers – yesterday announced his resignation in response to the developing scandal. Mr Avery, 51, said he had done nothing wrong, but had been caught out by gaps in council processes and the actions of some of those around him. “But at the end of the day the buck stops with me. It’s the right thing to do,” he said.

bour was concerned about the growing numbers of families living on minimum wage and struggling to cope.

Labour planned to bring the minimum wage up to $15 by Christmas, and then to $16.25 in April, 2015, she said.

Secondary tax would also be

axed for people who were working multiple jobs, Ms Williams said. “A lot of people are doing two jobs, we take their secondary tax only to give it to them later,” she said.

The discussion also touched on the increase in domestic violence cases moving through the

court system. It was important, she said to reinstate a nationwide family violence strategy.

Other issues canvassed during the meeting were water quality and conservation and support for reintroducing adult community education programmes.

Two people have been charged with human trafficking after 18 Indian men were trafficked into New Zealand to work in the horticulture industry, Immigration New Zealand says. It is the first time human trafficking charges have been laid in this country.

Two men were arrested in Motueka yesterday and charged under the Crimes Act 1961 for allegedly arranging by deception the entry of 18 Indian nationals into New Zealand. One of the men was also charged, along with a third person arrested in Auckland yesterday, under the Immigration Act 1987 over false refugee claims they made for the 18 men once they arrived in New Zealand. - APNZ

International students study horticulture Crops grown in Vanuatu and South Canterbury may be worlds apart, but horticulture student Tony Toa is learning the business of plant cultivation is universal.

“I have already learnt so much. The course is very interesting. I have learned much better ways of doing things.

I am finding the best part of the course is the practical side.’’

Tony has come from Vanuatu to study horticulture at Aoraki Polytechnic. He is one of several Pacific Island students on the course, which is based at the institute’s rural campus in Washdyke.

Tony is a trainee teacher, and is part of a group of Pacific Island students who have travelled to New Zealand on a Government scholarship.

And although many of the vegetable and fruit crops he is used to growing in Vanuatu don’t feature in New Zealand gardens, the fundamentals of horticulture are the same.

■ DAFFODIL DAY

Sending a message of courage

By GeorGia Weaver Editorial.s@guardian.co.nz

Students from St Joseph’s School are sending out a message of courage in recognition of Daffodil Day. The students gathered together to spell out the word “hope” as a reminder that cancer is not a death sentence.

The Cancer Society’s health promoter, Mandy Casey said the disease has had a prominent presence in the school with a number of people associated having been diagnosed with it.

“A lot of kids have been touched by cancer at the school, some directly with parents and members of staff having it,” Mrs Casey said.

Cancer Support services manager Annie Bonifant said Daffodil Day was to remind people that there was a lot of support for anyone connected to cancer.

“It’s not just the children that are affected by a parent who has cancer, but their friends too,” she said.

Mrs Bonifant encouraged people to make use of the various support services the society offers.

Senior staff partner Kate Shearer said Daffodil Day was about hope and helping kids understand that cancer is not a taboo subject and they should feel comfortable asking about it.

In New Zealand one in three are diagnosed with cancer but the Cancer Society is confident that survival rates are improving.

Daffodil Day is the Cancer Society’s leading annual fundraising event.

OUR VIEW

Finally the voices have been heard Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he decision to install barrier arms at the Northpark Road rail crossing shows the good that can happen when a community stands up and says it has had enough.

Plenty of Ashburton people said just that – and kept saying that – in the wake of the death of George Ellis, the truck driver whose vehicle was struck by a train in July.

Those who knew the crossing were adamant the early-morning crash happened when sun strike was at its worst and visibility from the road up the line was severely reduced.

Many had asked time and again for something to be done.

Earlier, the council unilaterally replaced its give way sign with a stop sign, but this was removed at the behest of KiwiRail.

There was no stop sign at the crossing when Mr Ellis was killed.

Soon after, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay pledged to press KiwiRail for new safety measures as a petition asking for barrier arms gathered steam.

The petition was 4000 signatures strong when Mr McKay took it to KiwiRail on Wednesday – 4000 signatures that said the council was not acting alone.

The meeting ended with confirmation that barrier arms would be installed, along with the bells and lights already on KiwiRail’s work programme.

It was an excellent result – but it appeared to have been forged on much more than a single meeting and on much more than a pressing, current need.

KiwiRail and the council have been working together since the start of the north-east industrial park development, expecting safety upgrades as traffic volumes changed.

This was acknowledged in a 2007 Deed of Grant which meant the council could, in consultation with KiwiRail, initiate an upgrade.

Fortuitously, it also appears that whatever the council spends on an upgrade could be claimed back from the New Zealand Transport Agency.

There will be relief that the council has the tools and the relationships to make the crossing safe – but for some, questions as to why the crossing waited so long for an upgrade will remain.

YOUR VIEW Methodist Church My sister, Maree Moore, who lives in Ashburton, sent me the Weekend Focus two-page spread concerning the future of Baring Square Methodist Church (Ashburton Guardian, of August 9).

She knew that I have had a close association with the building – dating back to my teenage years.

This building is full of memories – great memories – of a pivotal time in my life.

It was there that I received acceptance, instruction, enlightenment and, most of all, direction.

Back in the ‘50s, Baring Square Methodist Church was strong and vibrant.

It had a large Sunday school and youth department, where I, a new Christian, was embraced by the people of the church. It was there that I received a mu-

CRUMB

sical education and started to build upon a somewhat shaky faith. Most of all, I loved the fellowship of that place.

Due to that fellowship and feeling of belonging it imbued, - and under the leadership of an exceptional pastor, Rev. Arthur Witheford, five of us young men entered Trinity Theological College and were ordained some six years later.

All of us have had successful ministries (although one has passed away).

I emigrated to the United States, to the Rocky Mountain United Methodist Conference, some 32 years ago and have just retired after 46 continuous years in fulltime ministry.

My churches have been much larger than Baring Square, but it has always held a special place in my heart.

How sad that the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 should spell an end to this beau-

by David Fletcher

tiful building – and many others like it. I hope it can be saved, but if not, the memories I have of this church and its people will not be lessened or diminished – nor will they fade.

Our lives are not governed by bricks or mortar. They are governed by those who inspire us and lift our spirits; who hold our hands and lead us forward, pointing the way. I will miss the building, but will always cherish the hearts it moved and the lives it touched.

Young thespians On reading the article Taking the Bard to the next level (Ashburton Guardian, Aug 12) I thought that I would like to congratulate all those young thespians from The Big Little Theatre Company who entered the Trinity College ex-

aminations.

When I consider that the examiner sees people from many parts of the world, they certainly all did so well!

Such a high number of distinction passes certainly shows the standard of teaching and mentoring that these young people are getting.

Shakespeare is a name that can turn strong men to jelly and make people run screaming from the room.

You my young friends met the elegant language head on and mastered it.

Your staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in April was magical the audience was transported away to another place.

The future of theatre in Ashburton is in safe hands and is sure to grow successfully.

I always look forward to your next production.

I am lost for words!

I

t doesn’t happen often but I am lost for words to describe my skydiving experience.

The transition from the absolute terror you feel when you are hanging from the edge of a perfectly good Cessna, then the first few seconds of the free-fall.

To the amazing adrenaline rush of the 45 seconds of free-fall.

Then there’s the almostserenity of the five minutes under the canopy as you float down to earth. Finally the elation of a safe landing and walking freely on solid ground again.

Awesome, sensational, out of this world, yep all of that and some.

It was a day full of emotions on Wednesday, with my usual 4.30am start, even though I was wide awake at 3am going over the jump in my mind.

Would I get that awful “losing your stomach” feeling for the entire 45 seconds of the free-fall? Would I just simply flake out as I left the plane? Or would even worse happen?

The radio show kinda took my mind off things a bit, that was until, Lee, Gregg and Sophie from Skydiving Kiwis and Desme from the Guardian

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

came in for a chat on-air about the jump.

That was the moment the butterfly house went into overdrive in my stomach!

Although there was a moment of comfort during that studio visit, when I saw the dreadlocked adrenaline junkie

“

over to a cuddle from his Mum. Donning the jumpsuit, the butterflies were still there but bearable, it wasn’t until we sat down for the safety briefing that it really REALLY hit home what we were about to do.

That’s when I first thought to myself, can I do this?

Shortly after that, to my relief, the nerves calmed down and I felt okay, even in the plane on the way up to 12,000 feet I felt on edge but not panicked.

That was all about to change

As soon as the door of the plane opened and the noise came rushing in, so did the terror

Lee, shaking with nerves when I got him to read the weather.

Worse was to come though!

We arrived at the airport an hour before the jump, just in time to watch a bloke cashing in a skydive voucher Christmas present and I was heartened by how calm he appeared after he landed safely and wandered

again though! As soon as the door of the plane opened and the noise came rushing in, so did the terror.

Thankfully though, I absolutely loved the free-fall and, although I was relieved the parachute opened, I was a little disappointed when the free-fall was over.

Apart from the tight turns (to induce a few Gs) the were minutes under the canopy were sensational and a brilliant way to see Mid Canterbury from above.

A nice soft landing followed, in turn followed by an overwhelming feeling of gratitude, for still being alive, but mainly for the experience.

Thank you to everyone who came out and watched and supported us, especially 85-year-old George Crack, who decided watching wasn’t enough for him and booked himself in for a skydive the following day, which I had the pleasure of witnessing yesterday. What a legend!

Lee, Gregg and Sophie from Skydiving Kiwis, I can not thank you enough for the experience, I will never forget it.

I can not recommend it strongly enough, if you’ve been undecided about doing it yourself, just do it.

Smoke rises during shelling in the town of Novoazovsk, eastern Ukraine, raising fears separatist rebels are launching a counter-offensive on government-held parts of the region.

Russians in Ukraine The United States has accused Russia of being “directly involved” in fighting in war-torn east Ukraine, after rebels appeared to seize swathes of territory from retreating government forces.

“An increasing number of Russian troops are intervening directly in fighting on Ukrainian territory,” US ambassador to Kiev Geoffrey Pyatt wrote on Twitter yesterday.

“Russia has also sent its newest air defence systems including the SA-22 into eastern Ukraine and is now directly involved in the fighting,” he said.

After weeks of government offensives that have seen troops push deep into the last rebel bastions, the tide appeared to be turning once again in the four-month conflict, prompting a nervous government in Kiev to call on NATO for help.

There has been increasing concern in Kiev and the West of Russia’s direct in-

volvement in the conflict - a charge Moscow has repeatedly denied.

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said NATO and Polish intelligence have evidence of regular Russian army units operating in Ukraine.

French President Francois Hollande warned it would be “intolerable and unacceptable” if Russian troops were on the ground in Ukraine.

A top rebel leader admitted Russian troops were fighting alongside his insurgents, but said they all volunteered to spend their “holidays” battling for the rebels.

“Many Russian soldiers are joining us who would prefer to spend their holidays not at the beach but in the ranks of their brothers fighting for the freedom of Donbass,” Alexander Zakharchenko, the prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, said. - AFP

Thai court drops former PM’s murder charge A Thai court has dismissed murder charges against former premier Abhisit Vejjajiva and his ex-deputy over a bloody 2010 protest crackdown, months after a military coup tipped the balance of power in the politically divided nation.

Relatives of the victims criticised the surprise decision to drop the case as politically motivated.

The charges were brought to court under a previous government led by Abhisit’s rivals who have since been ousted from office.

Scores of demonstrators died under Abhisit’s establishment-backed leadership in street clashes between mostly unarmed “Red Shirt” supporters of fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra and security forces firing live rounds in Bangkok.

The ruling comes three months after the military seized power from Abhisit’s political opponents in a bloodless coup.

■ MILK PRICE CUT

In brief

Belt-tightening on the Coast

Westland’s Rod Quin

While last week’s dairy auction saw an overall price drop of just 0.6 per cent Quin noted that the skim milk powder price - which represents a substantial proportion of Westland’s production – dropped by 12 per cent.

He said there was still lacklustre demand from China and stock levels in distributor and

customer warehouses was reportedly high.

“Higher prices last season caused a growth in milk supply growth in Europe, the United States and New Zealand, giving customers more options,” he said.

Quin said the reduced payout will cause farmers to review their budgets.

He said Westland’s board and management were very conscious of the stress this would put on some suppliers.

“We’ll be monitoring the situation and working closely with shareholders to help ensure they have the resources and tools to manage their way through this,” he said.

Westland’s recently announced investment in a $102 million nutritionals dryer at Hokitika would give the cooperative the capacity to shift more production to this end of the market.

ers’ expectations for the economy for the next six months.

Local news flow has been dominated by the upcoming election and the final week of the Australasian reporting season.

Some well known names, such as Genesis Energy, Chorus, Metlifecare, Air New Zealand and Auckland Airport, announced full year results this week for the NZX. In Australia Spark Infrastructure, Qantas, Adelaide Brighton and Ramsay Healthcare also released results.

A key result for the week was Genesis Energy.

There was a reasonably high expectation for Genesis to follow its energy gentailer peers and announce a prospectus beat for the full year ended 30 June 2014, and it didn’t disappoint.

The company beat prospectus forecasts on the back of higher than expected production at the Kupe gas fields. The company was able to raise its dividend by 3.1 per cent to 6.6 cents per share. Guidance

for 2015 remained in line with prospectus forecasts.

Air New Zealand had a strong result for the year, with net profit up 30 per cent on the previous year.

The result was underpinned by solid passenger revenue growth of 2.3 per cent.

Earnings beat expectations on the back of cost savings of $70 million.

With improved earnings and confidence in the medium term outlook, management was able to announce an increase to the second half dividend of 10 per cent, equating to a 25 per cent increase for the year.

The company also announced a special dividend of 10 cents per share.

Air New Zealand’s result was in stark contrast to Australia’s national carrier, Qantas, whose full year result showed a before tax loss of A$646 million and was marred by restructuring costs and hefty writedowns for its aging fleet.

Management commented that they are now through the worst and expect to see a pick up in the business going forward.

Kick start for the economy M arkets this week have been buoyed by a number of economic data releases, and in particular by speculation that the European Central Bank (ECB) will introduce further stimulatory measures in order to ward off deflation and kick start the embattled economy.

Late Friday last week (Saturday morning our time) saw the final remarks from Jackson Hole symposium, where central bank leaders from around the world gather and discuss policy.

The most notable speech of the two day conference came from ECB president Mario Draghi, whose dovish comments in terms of implementing an asset buying stimulus program for Europe, prompted a market rally.

The US announced some very positive economic data for the week, with the consumer confidence survey in particular spurring a rally in markets and seeing the S&P 500 push past 2000 for the first time.

The US consumer confidence survey for August saw the index reach its highest level since October 2007 as business conditions continue to improve and robust growth in the labour market boost consumer outlook.

Jetstar, the discount unit of Australian airline Qantas Airways, lost ground in New Zealand, while claiming better yields on key routes, as its parent plunged into the red after slashing the value of its international fleet. The discount airline had 20.7 per cent of New Zealand’s domestic market at June 30, down from 22.4 per cent a year earlier, Qantas said yesterday when releasing its annual result.

Passenger numbers dropped 7.7 per cent to 1.72 million and revenue passenger kilometres fell 6.2 per cent to 1.13 million.

Federated Farmers said Westland Milk Products’ decision to cut its milk price payout for 2014/15 would cause “serious belt tightening” on the South Island’s West Coast.

Westland, New Zealand’s second biggest dairy cooperarative after Fonterra, said it would cut its payout by 60c a kilogram of milksolids to a range of $5.40$5.80 a kg, before retentions in the coming season.

The revision comes after Fonterra on Wednesday affirmed its latest milkprice of $6.00 a kg and a payout, including dividends, of $6.20 to $6.25.

“Given Fonterra’s hold on its benchmark payout forecast, this isn’t exactly the best news to go into spring with,” Renee Rooney, Federated Farmers West Coast dairy chairperson said.

“The fact the world produced

seven billion litres of milk for export in the first half of 2014 isn’t a secret and hasn’t happened overnight, so this further revision is disappointing,” she said in a statement.

“It is going to mean some serious belt-tightening on the West Coast,” she said.

Federated Farmers’ Andrew Hoggard this week said farmers should budget in the midfive dollar payout range.

Westland chief executive Rod Quin said the revised payout prediction was in response to market conditions.

“While the season is only just under way, we have always maintained a monthly revision process to provide shareholders with the most up to date forecast possible,” Quin said.

The reduction in the payout was driven by falls in prices across the globe and the continued high value of the New Zealand dollar, he said.

The ‘spiral of silence’

Apple loses court bid A federal judge has rejected Apple’s attempt to block the sale of several older Samsung smartphones that copied features in the iPhone. Yesterday’s rebuff comes nearly four months after a jury awarded Apple Inc. $119 million in damages for Samsung’s infringements on technology used in the trend-setting iPhone. The amount was well below the $2.2 billion in damages that Apple had been seeking in the latest round of legal wrangling between the world’s two leading smartphone makers since the tussle began four years ago.

Hyperlapse app launched

widespread government surveillance of Americans’ telephone and email records.

Hampton said the Snowden case provided researchers with a concrete example of a major national issue that divided Americans and dominated news coverage.

Of the 1801 adults surveyed, 86 per cent said they would be willing to discuss their views about government surveillance if it came up at various in-person scenarios, such as at a public meeting, at work or at a restaurant with friends.

But just 42 per cent of Facebook or Twitter users said

they would be willing to post online about it. What’s more, the typical Facebook user someone who logs onto the site a few times per day - was actually half as likely to discuss the Snowden case at a public meeting as a non-Facebook user.

Only when a person felt that their Facebook network agreed with their opinion were they twice as likely to join a site discussion on the issue, the survey found.

Another finding was that social media didn’t make it easier for people to share opinions they wouldn’t otherwise share.

Of the 14 per cent of Ameri-

Facebook-owned photo-sharing service Instagram has launched an application for capturing timelapse videos using Apple mobile devices. The Hyperlapse “app” was designed to let people easily make high-quality time-lapse videos even while moving around with a smartphone, according to Instagram. Hyperlapse videos can be saved on mobile devices and shared on Instagram. “From documenting your whole commute in seconds or the preparation of your dinner from start to finish to capturing an entire sunset as it unfolds, we’re thrilled about the creative possibilities Hyperlapse unlocks,” Instagram said in a blog post.

cans unwilling to discuss the Snowden case with others in person, fewer than one-half of 1 per cent were willing to discuss it on social media.

Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project, said it’s possible that social media actually sensitise people to different opinions.

“Because they use social media, they may know more about the depth of disagreement over the issue in their wide circle of contacts,” he said. “This might make them hesitant to speak up either online or offline for fear of starting an argument, offending or losing a friend.” - AP

Spies going wholesale How do intelligence agencies find that needle in the absolutely humongous haystack of surveillance data? Thanks to former United States National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, we now know that they have their own Google style search engine to trawl through scads of metadata that’s captured wholesale. Snowden’s leaks describe a system called ICREACH that provides for a “Google-like search” of metadata - that is, phone records, locations of mobile devices, email addresses and internet chat logs. According to Snowden’s documents, there are hundreds of billions of metadata records in in the ICREACH and the older PROTON systems, a number that is growing by one to two billion a day.

New era for cheap New Zealand cellphone The maker of a new NZ$39.40 smartphone billed as India’s cheapest says it aims to sell half a million in the next three months in what it called a “new era” for the market.

Indian mobile phone maker Intex has teamed up with California-based Mozilla - the non-profit organisation behind the Firefox open-source web browser - to create a cheaper

alternative to Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy.

Spokeswoman Joyeeta Mitra said the handset was aimed at first-time buyers and was the cheapest yet to hit the market.

People who use Facebook and Twitter are less likely than others to share their opinions on hot-button issues, even when they are offline, according to a surprising new survey by the Pew Research Center.

The study, done in conjunction with Rutgers University in New Jersey, challenges the view of social media as a vehicle for debate by suggesting that sites like Facebook and Twitter might actually encourage self-censorship.

Researchers said they detect what they call the “spiral of silence” phenomenon: Unless people know their audience agrees, they are likely to shy away from discussing anything controversial.

In other words, most of us are more comfortable with icebucket challenges than political banter.

“People do not tend to be using social media for this type of important political discussion.

“And if anything, it may actually be removing conversation from the public sphere,” said Keith Hampton, a communications professor at Rutgers University who helped conduct the study.

The survey was conducted shortly after Edward Snowden acknowledged leaking classified intelligence that exposed

Kiwis into semi-finals at worlds

Raina ton gets India home Suresh Raina’s dynamic century laid the platform for world champions India’s crushing 133-run win over England in the second one-day international at Cardiff yesterday. Victory gave India a 1-0 lead in the five-match series following Monday’s washout in Bristol and saw them return to winning ways after their 3-1 defeat by England in the preceding Test series. Man-ofthe-match Raina’s innings was the cornerstone of India’s imposing 6-304 after England captain Alastair Cook sent them in. England then lost all 10 wickets for 107 runs as they collapsed to 161 all out in 38.1 overs.

Ricciardo hot property Daniel Ricciardo is fast becoming one of Australia’s most bankable sports stars. The Formula One driver’s profile has skyrocketed since joining Red Bull Racing this season, during which he’s already scored three grand prix wins and three other podium finishes.

Potential sponsors are lining up to get a piece of the Perth-born 25-year-old and his trademark smile. The man who makes those deals happen, commercial adviser Mark Jones, considers him in the “same commercial vein” as big money-making golfers Adam Scott and Jason Day, and high-profile NBA basketballers Andrew Bogut and Dante Exum.

Shooting a family affair Three generations of Flemings represented the Ashburton District in the North versus South smallbore rifle shooting competition in Blenheim last weekend.

Phillipa, Martin and John Fleming (pictured) all shot for the South Island.

Phillippa recorded the third best score as the South Island Juniors took the win over North.

Martin had the best score for the South Island, but was ninth overall as the North claimed a convincing win in the Open in the Open men’s

section. John achieved the sixth best score in the Veterans as the South was edged out by the North.

Phillippa and Martin both qualified them to shoot the following day as part of the New Zealand team against England in a postal shoot.

Three out of four of the New Zealand crews raced themselves into semi-finals on the fourth day of competition at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

In the repechages of the women’s double sculls Zoe Stevenson and Fiona Bourke’s efforts yielded a first placing which nailed a semi-final spot for them.

The New Zealand duo required a top two placing to keep their world championship dreams alive.

With a top three finish required to advance to the semi-final, Mahe Drysdale kept pushing through to a comfortable winning margin in the men’s single scull quarter-final.

New Zealander Emma Twigg took the lead early in the women’s single scull, and she continued to build on her boat speed as the race carried on finishing first in 7:48.84.

The men’s lightweight double scull of Alistair Bond and Adam Ling were unsuccessful in their goal to progress to the A/B quarter-finals.

In brief

■ JETSPRINTS

Shama out to repeat

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s rookie navigator Shama Putaranui hopes she can guide Peter Caughey to the top of the podium again in the second round of the World Jetsprint Championship.

The new combination of Caughey and Putaranui took the win in the superboat class in Missouri a fortnight ago, and they will be after a repeat dose in Lebanon, Oregon this weekend.

Putaranui’s previous experience is a couple of rounds in the New Zealand series, but has stepped up big time in boat class to now be in charge of pushing Caughey in the right direction towards a seventh world championship title, and what would be his first since 2009.

Her efforts in round one drew plenty of praise from the experienced driver, who will enter the weekend confident of reclaiming the crown.

Seventh for Grace Ashburton’s Grace Sommerville was seventh in the women’s 200m butterfly in 2:16.47, and in a busy opening day, was 16th in the 800m freestyle in 9:08.62 at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Hawaii. Dunedin swimmer Andrew Trembath was the best of the Kiwis, finishing fourth in the final of the 100m backstroke.

Juggernaut rolls on

“Shama Putaranui did a great job, an exceptional job considering it was her first time navigating at this level, dealing with the pressure,” Caughey said.

“She made one mistake on our first practice run, we made the same error and both realised it simultaneously.

“She really put the effort in before every run.

“It can be difficult changing the team dynamic, and our usual navigator couldn’t make it.

“But after today I realise how lucky I am – it looks as if we have the two best navigators in New Zealand – and possibly the world – working with us.”

Ex-pats feature in national hockey

Erakovic pairing into second round

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Pippa Hayward: Skipper of the Canterbury Cats.

Christchurch against Capital tomorrow before taking on Southern in Timaru on Sunday.

The remaining matches all take place in Auckland at the North Harbour Hockey Stadium from September 6, with the finals on September 14.

All of the competition’s matches will be under the new international rules – played in four 15 minute quarters rather than the traditional two 35 minute halves.

Marina Erakovic and doubles partner Arantxa Parra Santonja have advanced through to the second round of the US Open.

The New Zealand and Spanish duo were too strong for the American pairing of Louisa Chirico and Katerina Stewart, winning 6-4, 6-3.

They will face 12th seeds Garbine Muguruza and Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain in the second round.

Erakovic’s best doubles performance at the tournament was making the quarter-finals in 2008.

She faces Russia’s Elena Vesnina in the singles second round.

Meanwhile third-seeded Stan Wawrinka bulled his way into the third round of the US Open yesterday with a 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-1) victory over Thomaz Bellucci.

Switzerland’s Wawrinka, the reigning Australian Open champion, was dominant on serve through two sets, but Bellucci broke him twice in the third to force the fourth.

Wawrinka will face Slovenian Blaz Kavcic in the third round.

Lleyton Hewitt admitted

At least there was 25 minutes of resistance. There won’t be many more lopsided affairs on paper in this year’s ITM Cup than Canterbury hosting Northland and for the opening quarter of last night’s contest, the Taniwha held their own. They even took an unlikely early lead via a Daniel Hawkins penalty, but that was about as good as things got before the Canterbury machine finally rumbled into action and eventually strolled to a 48-3 win. The six-time defending champions have oodles of depth on offer and Canterbury coach Scott Robertson rung the changes for this one to give the majority of his squad a chance to impress. They secured the four-try bonus point with more than half an hour left when Jack Goodhue scored his second try in as many weeks. Superboot Colin Slade was spot on as he added 18 points for Canterbury.

Man U look to Di Maria

■ HOCKEY

The National Hockey League begins this weekend, a competition where Ashburton’s Matt Moore features in the Canterbury Cavaliers while former Mid Canterbury resident and Black Stick, Pippa Hayward, will lead the Canterbury Cats – coached by another ex-pat, Aaron Ford.

Hayward takes over the captaincy from the now retired Stacey Carr, the Mid Canterbury former Black Stick who led the Cats to the NHL title in 2012.

Last year the Cats lost out in the semi-finals to eventual champions, Midlands.

The Cats side features eight members of the national women’s squad, including Hayward, giving coach Ford a strong team to chase a second title in three years.

The Cavaliers lost their semifinal to Southern, who lost to three time winners Auckland, and haven’t won the Challenge Shield since 2005.

The Canterbury sides open the 2014 NHL at home in

Manchester United will be hoping that record signing Angel Di Maria can give their season a belated kick-start this weekend when they travel to lowly Burnley, still chasing their first win of the new campaign.

Chastened by defeat in their opener at home to Swansea, a draw at Sunderland and a humiliating defeat by League One side MK Dons in the Capital One Cup, the arrival of STG59.7 million signing Di Maria from Real Madrid has given United a timely lift. United fans fear another big upset but manager Louis van Gaal believes they will require patience as he adjusts to the Premier League and to the team.

Top signings for Reds

Marina Erakovic: Into second round in singles and doubles.

he’s unsure if he’ll return to the US Open after completing the worst grand slam season of his celebrated 18-year-career.

Czech powerhouse Tomas Berdych has handed the former world No.1 his heaviest defeat at Flushing Meadows in a decade, a 6-3 6-4 6-3 pummelling on the very court where it all really began for Hewitt.

It inevitably casts more doubt over the 33-year-old’s playing future after a miserable year at the four majors.

Hewitt’s only 2014 grand slam win came against world No.120 Michal Przysiezny at Wimbledon and even his former coach Darren Cahill admitted “the window’s closing”.

The Queensland Reds will tonight unveil James O’Connor and Karmichael Hunt as their blue-chip recruits for 2015. Rugby’s worstkept secrets will be revealed at the Reds’ Gala Ball at the Brisbane Convention Centre, but fans will be hoping for more. Although O’Connor and Hunt represent the franchise’s biggest recruitment announcement since Super Rugby kicked off in 1996, Queensland can’t fix the problems that plagued them this season with two outside backs. The Reds sorely lacked a line-busting back-rower as they endured their worst campaign in five years.

Swimmer into the V8s Heard the one about the Olympic champion swimmer who wants to one day race a V8 Supercar?

It might sound like the start to a bad joke but, if he gets his way, it’s exactly the path American backstroke champion Tyler Clary wants his sporting career to take.

Clary spent yesterday ripping around the V8 Supercars Official Driving Experience course in Queensland behind the wheel of a Holden Commodore.

■ ASHBURTON RACES

Top buy Astroturf a royal hope again Bargain purchase Astroturf looks set to further reward his connections at Ashburton today.

Bought as a tried horse at the May sale at Karaka for $4000, the richly-bred son of Encosta de Lago has proved a blue chip investment for trainer Michael Daly, with two wins and a placing from three starts.

Astroturf had weighed in once from two appearances in the north before his sale and has since banked nearly $24,000.

“He could be the buy of the century,” Daly said.

“I found out he’d had a wind operation, but I thought I’d take the gamble and he’s one of the cleanest-winded horses I’ve had.

“In his first race for me I thought he’d need the run and he flew home the last bit for second and then he went from winning a six-horse maiden at Wingatui

to jumping two grades and winning at Riccarton on a Saturday.”

Originally passed in as a yearling at Karaka for $175,000, Astroturf will attempt to complete a hat-trick of wins in today’s Port FM Rating 75 and Daly is expecting a continuation of the fouryear-old’s hot form.

“He shows natural ability in trackwork on top of the ground and I’ll be surprised if the better track bothers him,” he said. “When I first got him I thought he was a bit of a plodder, but he’s a big, lazy horse and when I galloped him in company he started to pull and be competitive.”

Out of the Group Two-winning Flying Spur mare Astrodame, Astroturf has been ridden in all three of his southern starts by Kylie Williams, and she will again handle the gelding at Ashburton today.

Walker faces betting charges David Walker is facing serious betting charges that have prevented him from partnering Scapolo in Saturday’s Group 1 Makfi Challenge Stakes at Hastings.

The Marton-based jockey is under investigation by the Racing Integrity Unit (RIU) for two breaches following his ride on Watch Your Man at Awapuni on August 16.

The RIU alleges Walker, 38, placed bets on St Ransom and deliberately rode his horse to ensure his bets were successful.

“In view of the evidence collected to date, and the seriousness of the charg-

es, the RIU has recommended to New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing that Mr Walker’s licence be suspended pending the hearing of the charges,” RIU General Manager Mike Godber said yesterday.

“The allegations before Mr Walker are serious, and threaten the very fabric of thoroughbred racing.

“We therefore consider that the continued participation of Mr Walker in racing prior to the JCA hearing would pose an unacceptable risk to the image, interests and integrity of racing.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) In what is a practice run for next month’s Full Moon there is a chance to look at work tensions or life’s demands and to streamline things.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Just days away from moving into the final four months of the year there is already a sense of urgency - spring is in the air.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Today brings a chance to address any work/life balance issues but also to find a balance between the realities of life and your ideals.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Too much thinking and not enough doing will leave you stuck behind your excuses but having a dream without a plan won’t work either.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) A clash between income and financial forces may create some financial tension but is a chance to find a balance between the two.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Where there is personal and/or relationship tension there is a chance to find a balance between the two as well as reality and fantasy.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Tensions could be running high today but with this is a chance to establish your priorities, while realising to have it all some juggling is required.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) You’ll find that life runs a lot more smoothly when you have the right balance between give and take, realising it takes some effort.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Finding the right work/life balance is something that will see you succeed professionally in a way that burning the candle at both ends won’t.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As your professional instincts kick in this is a chance to learn from the past and to tie up loose ends, creating a new starting point.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Financial tension that has dogged you all week comes to a head today but in a way that is more likely to be empowering and motivating.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) As your personal and relationship needs clash this is all about finding the balance that you and your relationships both need.

Hammers may be missing their skipper

BY JONATHAN LEASK

Mid Canterbury are hoping a big week off the field won’t affect a big game in round two of the Heartland Rugby Championship tomorrow.

Captain Jon Dampney is in limbo, expecting the birth of his first child with partner Hayley Bennett as the Hammers head north to meet a fired up Wairarapa Bush in Masterton, and of course coach Glenn Moore has announced he’s off to the Blues at the end of the season.

Dampney has the same dilemma as All Black Conrad Smith had for the first Bledisloe Cup test.

Smith travelled home from Sydney for the birth of his son, missing the 12-all draw.

The Hammers’ expectant father doesn’t have as far to travel, but like Smith he wants to be there.

He has his fingers crossed the baby arrives on time, due yesterday, or holds on until at least Saturday night.

“I’m not too worried when as long as it all goes well,” Dampney said.

“We both feel like it won’t be until early next week but I’m more anxious about it than she is.”

The team travels to Masterton today, leaving Dampney behind to follow them north tomorrow morning to play at the earlier time of 1.30pm before catching the flight back after the game – if he even goes at all, with the plan hinging on the timing of the new arrival.

Either way, Mid Canterbury will not be able to keep their eye off the ball as they come up against an opponent with plenty to prove.

Wairarapa Bush came into the season touted as a title contender, but were towelled up by King Country 32-13 in Taupo.

The Bush return home this weekend determined to get their campaign back on track.

Mid Canterbury got their Meads Cup defence off to an ideal start, outlasting a West Coast onslaught with a flurry of 39 unanswered second half points to clinch the win.

The sides met last year in Ashburton where the Hammers took a 2923 win – two late tries from Dwayne Burrows and the 100 per cent kicking of Murray Williams were the difference.

Both players were in fine form in the opening round, with Burrows bagging a hat-trick and Williams expertly guiding the side around the park as the backline looked sharp.

The forwards took some time to settle into their work to deliver the platform for the backs to launch the knockout blows.

While Dampney’s inclusion will be determined tomorrow morning, the Hammers will be without flanker Gary Redmond.

He was cleared to play after leaving the field with a head knock against the Coast, but the coaches opted to give him the week off as a precaution, giving Sam Houston a start.

The contingency plan if Dampney is unable to play, will see Seta Koroitamana move from the wing into the forwards.

Josh Walker would be promoted to the wing and Nete Caucau, travelling with the team as the 23rd man, would come into the 22.

Other than Koroitamana starting on the wing in place of Matt Thatcher and Houston in for Redmond, the starting XV remains the same. As well as Walker, Methven pair, Andrew Smith and Davey Maw come onto the bench.
