Parking campaign gains traction

Ashburton retailers behind a freeparking campaign will meet with the Ashburton District Council to present their case along with signed petitions on July 7.

They will propose one hour’s free parking along all streets in the central business district. They will also suggest use of smart parking technology which allows parking to be monitored accurately with sensors, decreasing the workload and cost of warden staff.

The technology is used by Taupo and Rotorua district councils.

East Street retailer Tony Todd said they would be pushing the Ashburton council

to adopt the new technology.

In Taupo, the focus was not on revenue gathering but on parking turnover.

Mr Todd said sensors monitored when a car had parked and wardens directed to the overstayers.

He said Ashburton shoppers still struggled with the pay-and-display machines on East Street, despite council saying they were now working and being serviced more regularly.

“Just last week a customer came in and complained the machine outside Depeche Mode was not accepting coins and had a queue of five people behind it.

Four of them drove off.”

Retailers say council’s unfriendly parking police is driving shoppers from the

central business district and they are working hard to keep it vibrant. They have been researching the parking policies of other towns.

Hutt City Council trialled free parking in 2015 to rejuvenate its dwindling retail scene and due to the success has installed free parking as part of its 2016/17 district plan.

The Free Parking for Ashburton cause has gained over 1100 likes on their Facebook page. The online arm of its petition is on its way to its next milestone of 500 signatures.

■ COURT OF APPEAL

Tully to appeal conviction, sentencing

By Michelle NelsoN aNd NZMe Russell John Tully plans to appeal against his conviction and sentence of life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years.

Tully was found guilty in March of being the masked gunman who stormed the Ashburton Work and Income offices on September 1, 2014, shooting dead receptionist Peggy Noble, 67, from point-blank range and murdering case manager Susan Leigh Cleveland, 55, by shooting her three times as she pleaded for her life.

The 50-year-old was also found guilty of attempting to murder case manager Kim Adams but not guilty of attempting to murder case manager Lindy Curtis who was seriously wounded as she cowered beneath her desk with a client.

In May, Justice Cameron Mander sentenced Tully to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years – the second highest non-parole period ever handed down in New Zealand history.

During the sentencing hearing Justice Mander said he was in no doubt Tully’s intentions were to kill as many Work and Income staff as possible and that if staff hadn’t fled the building there would likely have been more fatalities.

They were “cold-blooded executions”, particularly callous and brutal, he said.

“This type of crime is rare in New Zealand,” Justice Mander said.

Justice Mander said Tully was a “very dangerous person” who was very capable of extremely violent actions.

He held a high risk of harm, which meant that there is a need for the community to be protected.

Yesterday, a Court of Appeal spokeswoman in Wellington confirmed that Tully has formally lodged an appeal against his conviction and sentence.

No date for any hearing has yet been set.

Throughout the court process, Tully frequently indicated he would appeal whatever the outcome was.

At sentencing, he alleged a “major coverup by the Crown” regarding disclosure and evidence, and further claimed he didn’t have access to a lawyer.

Tully sacked at least six defence counsellors in the lead up to the trial, causing numerous delays in proceedings. He was eventually represented by amicus curia (friends of the court) James Rapley and his colleague Phil Shamy however the relationship was fractious.

He claimed to be unfit to stand trial on numerous occasions and spent the best part of the two week trial lying in a cell.

During sentencing he vehemently denied responsibility for the events of September 1.

“If I was guilty and went out and killed two people, I’d take it, and say, ‘That was me’. But obviously that was not the case and I refute the accusation,” Tully said.

Tully was found to be mentally capable of facing charges of double murder and attempted murder after a hearing under the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 in the High Court at Christchurch last year.

Top notch young baker By coliN eNgelBrecht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

New Zealand’s number one apprentice baker has returned to Ashburton after competing in the Trainee Baker of the Year competition in Auckland.

Malya Hooper of Café Time in Tinwald made it into the top six finalists in April and won first place in the competition on Monday.

As well as gaining the title of Trainee Baker of the Year and a trophy, the 22-yearold also received a knife set and a $3000 voucher towards a Richmond course.

The students can choose from either bread, cake or pastry specialisations in a Richmond course.

“I feel so overwhelmed and privileged to have even had the opportunity to compete, the competition was amazing I had so much fun and met so many amazing people everything went smoothly and I was really happy with the products that I produced,” she said.

Ms Hooper baked 12 brioche scrolls,

t a e H r e Wint e l a S p P um

15 profiteroles, including roast beef and horse radish, salmon and cream cheese and bacon and choice aioli flavours, as well as a madeira cake.

“The judges’ reactions were great they told me that my product flavours were amazing and overall presentation was amazing,” she said.

She started out baking as a hobby at home, and when she began her café and barista course at Aoraki Polytech she grew an interest in the bakery course next door and eventually joined.

“My goal now is to finish off my final assessments for my apprenticeship and continue to work hard and see where the industry takes me,” Ms Hooper said.

Café Time on Archibald Street is a family owned bakery and is run by Scott and Lisa Stringer. Ms Hooper has worked there for three and a half years.

“I didn’t know what to expect as I hadn’t worked in a bakery before but it’s been amazing, I have super supportive bosses,” she said.

Seat service a big loss

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

The closure of Plunket’s car seat service at the end of the year has Ashburton staff worried it could put Mid Canterbury children at risk.

Plunket announced in April last year it was phasing out the service around the country as a result of declining hire numbers.

Many branches have already shut up shop and on May 1 Ashburton stopped long-term hires in preparation for closing to the public on November 30. Staff will be around for another month to tidy loose ends.

Car seat service area manager Shirley Falloon said the closure of

the service will not only mean the end of hiring and purchasing car seats but potentially the loss of car seat safety checks which will put children at a greater risk of injury.

“It’s my personal opinion that if we don’t have the service it could put children’s safety at risk unless the new injury prevention scheme that Plunket has planned has strategies in place there.”

Plunket has signalled that they will be implementing an injury prevention strategy and while Mrs Falloon does not know the details of this she hopes they will incorporate car seat safety into it in some way.

Studies have shown that 92 per cent of children in New Zealand are safely restrained while in vehicles

but the end of the service will probably see a drop in these figures, she said.

People in Ashburton will now have to buy car seats from stores that do not have qualified staff able to show them correct installation unless they want to travel up to Christchurch.

“The people I feel most sorry for are the grandparents and people who are having visitors, the shortterm hires.

“They will be locked into buying unless they can borrow from people.”

All car seat services will continue to operate from the Ashburton Plunket rooms Monday to Friday until November 30.

East Street retailer Tony Todd says Ashburton’s pay-anddisplay parking police is bad for the town’s central business district.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 280616-TM-0076

Campaign gains traction From P1 Large posters can now be seen on shop windows throughout the CBD calling for more signatures on the petitions.

They can be signed either online at Change.org or in stores.

The online petition and

Facebook pages have gathered over 80 comments from residents and visitors who are disgruntled with the current parking system and support free parking.

Comments range from people disillusioned with the pay-and-display meters, to those unhappy with the cost.

Body found in cardboard

A body has been found inside a bale of cardboard at a factory in Hamilton.

Police have begun investigations after staff at OJI Fibre Solutions – a cardboard processing plant – made the discovery.

Police said the body belonged to a male. An approximate age has not been given or when the discovery was made.

“At this early stage of the investigation police are still going through the process to identify the body and determine how the body came to be in the bale of cardboard,” a police statement said.

On its website, the company is described as a “leading pro-

ducer of market pulp, paper and fibre-based packaging”.

In a statement to media, the company said it was not going to comment. The statement was attributed to chief executive Jon Ryder.

“OJI Fibre Solutions has advised today that it will not be responding to media queries with regard to police presence at its Hamilton baling site.

“The New Zealand Police have the site locked down at present and we are doing everything we can to help them.

At this point in time, it would not be prudent for us to say anything further.”

■ ASHBURTON WATER MANAGEMENT ZONE COMMITTEE

In brief

Letter writer raises hackles

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A letter citing a contentious water consent raised hackles at yesterday’s meeting of the Ashburton Water Management Zone Committee.

The letter, submitted by a supporter of Bung the Bore, a group opposed to the sale of a water consent attached to Lot 9 in the Ashburton Business Estate, questioned the committee’s role in granting the consent.

The zone committee does not play a role in granting or declining applications, nor does Environment Canterbury seek its opinion on such matters.

Rather, the consent was granted under the Natural Resources Plan, which was operative prior

to the establishment of the zone committee.

“ECan now has a more collaborate approach toward committee engagement,” zone facilitator Olivia Smith said.

Committee member Jackie Wright pointed to the “tremendous amount of public interest” in the consent which enables the holder to extract water for bottling, and questioned why it had not been publicly notified.

ECan commissioner David Caygill said there was no requirement to do so.

“That (public interest) is not the acid test – the fundamental question is the impact on the environment and it will not have more than a minimal impact,” he said.

“However, an application can be publicly notified if ECan chooses.

Committee member and Ashburton District councillor Stuart Wilson said the amount of interest was minimal.

“I wouldn’t say there was huge public interest – it’s a small but vocal minority trying to stir up trouble. It’s just a small consent, they are being ridiculous,” he said.

Mr Wilson also slammed a suggestion the committee should reply to the writer explaining its role in water management.

“I would ignore the letter,” he said.

Ms Wright disagreed.

“There are concerns. We sit

here as the zone committee and we clearly have an interest in water, we should use this as a chance to explain what we do,” she said.

Mr Caygill backed her approach saying ECan had received a number of requests from the public concerning the water consent attached to Lot 9, including Ngai Tahu.

Rangitata Diversion Race CEO Ben Curry said it was an opportunity not to be missed.

“There is some disquiet in the Ashburton community – it would be a timely opportunity to remind people of the role of the committee,” he said.

“If the letter writer doesn’t understand others in the community won’t either.”

Small speed signs will be installed on Mid Canterbury school buses as part of a safety trial in the next few weeks.

The 20k signs are part of the second stage of the Either Way It’s 20k trial, which was launched in 2013, to remind motorists to slow down when passing stationary school buses.

These signs are smaller than the original signs installed in the first stage and have been redeveloped to be more visible.

Bus speed signs nearly ready for safety trial

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF ARTS

The 52nd annual exhibition by the Ashburton Society of Arts starts in less than a week and art is covering the walls of the Ashburton Art Gallery.

Yesterday, gallery staff, art society committee members, and some volunteers started hanging the 430 unique pieces of art.

Three days are set aside for this process but the exhibition secretary Jen Dearborn said the team was making good time.

“We’ll have it done easily within three days,” she said.

The exhibition has 140 confirmed artists, with eight guest artists showing as well.

The weekend before the show opens, a special guest will judge the works and decide a winner.

“I don’t know how they do it, there are so many amazing pieces of art.

“They just walk around the gallery, it’s incredible,” Ms Dearborn said.

This is not the biggest exhibition the society has had to fit into the gallery; last year, there were over 500 pieces of art which had to fit into the new gallery

After ball funding

stalled at the beginning of Term 2 but manufacturing delays meant they have only just arrived in Ashburton.

Transport Engineering Research NZ (TERNZ) managing director Peter Baas, who is working on the trial, said the 300mm diameter signs are now ready but they will not be installed for a few more weeks in order for monitoring to be completed.

“We’ve got everything working and ready to go.”

TERNZ has been studying the speeds past one school bus with

a larger (400mm) sign and will complete this in the next few weeks before installing the rest.

By the beginning of Term 3 the smaller signs will be installed on about 20 buses and speeds will be monitored for a month.

All the data will then be collated and a report sent to the New Zealand Transport Agency for consideration, he said.

If approved similar signs could be installed on all school buses in the country.

The signs were delayed due to parts coming from overseas as well having them redesigned to

make them stand out more and be more cost effective.

The first stage of the trial involved three parts – monitoring speed, creating an awareness campaign and adding flashing LED 20km/h signs (400mm) to 30 larger buses in the district.

Small 250mm signs were also tested but were not as effective.

The trial is a partnership between TERNZ, the Ashburton District Council, Pearson’s Coachlines, New Zealand Rural Women and other authorities with funding from the Road Safety Trust.

Murder trial An inmate bashed and stomped in his jail cell and who later died of his brain injuries, didn’t get medical treatment until an hour after the fatal attack, a court heard yesterday. Benton Marni Parata, 44, was attacked in his high-security Rawhiti unit cell at Christchurch Men’s Prison on March 25 last year. He died in hospital five days later.

Steven Betham, 36, Akuhatua Tihi, 22, from Toi Toi, Nelson, and Levi Hohepa Reuben, 21, deny murdering the fellow inmate.

Their trial at the High Court in Christchurch began yesterday.

Crown prosecutor Deidre Orchard said the trio had planned to administer a serious beating. They were seen on CCTV “loitering” near Parata’s cell during recreation time that morning, the Crown alleges. Up to 40 witnesses are expected to give evidence during the trial, before Justice Gerald Nation, which is set down for two weeks.

■ MARVELLOUS MID-WINTER MARKET

Mayfield’s mid-winter warmup

By Emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

If you’re feeling the winter chill, head to Mayfield next month for a Marvellous Mid-Winter Market.

Organisers Janine Sundberg and Claire Roy have circled July 30 on the calendar for the event they hope will focus the district’s attention on their village.

“I can’t wait to see what happens and watch it all unfold,” Ms Sundberg said.

“It’s a quiet time for those who are talented, there’s not a lot to do, so it’s a chance for them to get out and about.”

The indoor market will be held in the Mayfield Hall, with 25 stalls selling a wide range of arts and crafts. “[Mayfield] is an interesting place, you know, with Overflow and Chantelle [Quinn] with Panthers Rock,” she said.

And there is an added incentive for people to attend with every person buying from one of the stalls going into a lucky draw.

Ms Sundberg hopes the market will become a part of the Mayfield social calendar.

“We would love to make it a recurring event, maybe even during the summer months, so people can shop for some really interesting Christmas presents,” she said.

Volunteers place a cluster of Scotty boxes in a spawning stream on the lower Rakaia river on Sunday.

In brief Struck with hammer A Christchurch dairy employee was struck with a hammer to the face during a robbery early yesterday morning. Blood was streaming from the man’s head after he sustained a bad cut to the nose and was taken to Christchurch hospital with minor injuries at 6.30am. Bhavesh Patel who owns the dairy, told Fairfax his employee was hit with a hammer during the attack. He also said the masked men took off with an unknown amount of cigarettes and cash, along with the till drawer. It is believed the robbers took off on bicycles and went in the direction of Wainoni Road.

■ HEIGHTS OF WINTER ROGAINE

Thumb’s-up for local venue Competitors in an extreme orienteering event have given the thumb’s-up to the Hakatere Conservation Park as a challenging venue.

The 370 competitors who took part in the Heights of Winter Rogaine over the weekend enjoyed perfect weather and a varied landscape with altitudes ranging from around 600m to 1400m.

Both New Zealand’s current men’s and women’s rogaine (24hour) champions showed their class winning what was the 18th running of the event.

Across the tussock moraine and hills of Hakatere Conservation Park, Chris Forne and Greig Hamilton were well clear of all the other teams in the 12-hour event, scoring 3210 out of a total of 4140 points on offer.

Forne was not only a member

of last year’s world adventure racing championship winning team Seagate, but also in the winning team in this year’s Godzone.

In the women’s 12-hour race, Lara Prince and Georgia Whitla produced an outstanding performance to place second overall, scoring 2700 points.

Organiser Stuart Payne said the two top teams were so far off from making a clean-sweep of the course due to planner Alister Metherell setting the course across 100 sq km of high country terrain.

“One of the winners remarked that he liked the fact it wasn’t possible to get all or almost all of the controls and they actually had to work out what areas they weren’t going to be able to get.”

Both the winning teams are

now targeting the World Rogaining Championships to be held near Alice Springs in Australia on July 23-24.

The top team in the mixed open category (and ninth overall) with 2040 points were Jenni Blyleven and Peter Montgomery.

In the six-hour event the men’s section was won by a veteran (over 40) team while the women’s race was won by a junior team.

The men’s winning team, the Christchurch trio of Al CoryWright, Matt Scott and former Danish orienteering representative Carsten Joergensen, scored 1640 points.

They scored at the same rate per minute as the winning 12hour team, but of course were only out for half the time and didn’t have to include as much climb into their route.

The winning women’s team was the Cashmere High School pairing of Marisol Hunter and Briana Steven, who recently placed second in their grade in the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Rogaine Championships.

Mr Payne said the high country setting, with the start/finish at Lake Clearwater, was unique in the history of the Heights of Winter, first held in 1998. Competitors gave the venue a big thumb’s-up.

This year’s event was organised by Peninsula and Plains Orienteers, and Mr Payne said it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the landowners/managers, namely Department of Conservation, Mt Possession Station and the Ashburton District Council.

The Cape Foulwind cement works closes at midday today, ending 58 years of cement production in Westport. Holcim signalled almost three years ago that it planned to close the works and import cement. The official closure date was June 30, but works manager Clark Nelson said yesterday that the power to the plant was being shut off today. The 80 or so remaining workers would leave at midday, he said. Holcim employed about 120 in Westport before it started winding down. By next week, Mr Nelson and security staff will be the only people rattling around the once bustling site.

Petition to save puppy A petition to save Chip the puppy from being put down has more than 10,000 signatures. Electrician Jonathan Robins started the petition after finding Chip and handing him over to Auckland Council animal management, only to hear that he was likely to be put down. Some of the petition’s 10,021 supporters commented on the change.org site, with one saying the world was “a cruel enough place without murdering an innocent pup”. Mr Robins said yesterday he had also spoken to animal rescue group Paws Justice, in the hope that they could help remove Chip from Henderson Animal Shelter. Mr Robins, 29, found the puppy in a rubbish bin on Williamson Ave in Grey Lynn on Saturday and cared for him until he was picked up and taken to the shelter.

■ AGRIKIDSNZ NATIONALS

Young farmers in the making

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Three budding young Mount Somers farmers have been learning all there is to know about the industry ahead of a national competition next month.

The Mount Somers Musterers, made up of Mt Somers Springburn School students Sophie Adkins, Angus Neal and Jack Neal, will be competing in the AgriKidsNZ national finals in Timaru on July 7-9.

Principal Brent Gray said the team have been busy getting prepared for the event after coming second in the Aorangi regional finals earlier this year.

They have been working closely with the Foothills Young Farmers group and spent a day with them at the Mount Somers Station earlier this month identifying sheep breeds and learning about crops and pasture growth, he said.

The grand finals will be a tough competition with the team needing to complete a number of written and practical tasks, including changing a quad bike tyre.

“They are pretty excited, they all realise that it is something quite big.”

The school has never had a team in the finals before so it will exciting for everyone, Mr Gray said.

“They are pretty stoked. It will be a great experience for them.”

The AgriKidsNZ competition is aimed at children aged 8-13 to promote the fun side of agriculture.

■ NEW ZEALAND’S WEALTHIEST

Top 10% own 60 % of all wealth

By AliciA Burrow Despite what we like to think, wealth is not evenly distributed in New Zealand. In fact it’s the worst it’s been in more than a decade.

Statistics New Zealand shows the top 10 per cent of people have almost 60 per cent of wealth.

The figures are for the year to June last year.

Labour market and household statistics manager Diane Ramsay said it was the biggest divide between the rich and poor since 2003.

She said it was possibly worse, but when records began in 2001 slightly different questions were

asked of slightly different demographics. What was evident was the inequality of net worth distribution continued to grow.

Divides across ethnic groups continue: European people have

an individual median net worth of $114,000 compared to $33,000 for people of Asian descent, $23,000 for Maori, and $12,000 for Pacific people.

Our youth are among the poorest in society. People aged between 15-24 had the lowest individual median net worth of any age group at just $1000.

Most young people have no assets but do have debt. Student loans are the most common debt.

Half the country’s wealth belongs to the top 10 per cent of households. The bottom 40 per cent of households hold just 3 per cent of total wealth.

The average household is

worth $289,000.

Labour’s Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson said inequality was getting worse under National with almost 60 per cent of the wealth in this country concentrated in the hands of the top 10 per cent.

“Reducing inequality should be the number one priority of this Government. It is taking away opportunity and undermining the economic and social security of our country.

“The ramifications of inequality have become clear in recent days in the Brexit vote and also in the way the US presidential primaries have played out. One of the consequences of inequality

is that it creates a large group of disenfranchised people who feel forgotten and alienated. They then become easy targets for peddlers of fear and hate.”

Mr Robertson said New Zealand’s inequality was worse than the UK, Australia and Canada. In New Zealand the net worth of the bottom 20 per cent was less than a quarter of the net worth of the top 20 per cent.

“And it’s only going to get worse. The bottom 20 per cent owe more than they own, while the top 20 per cent own more than 20 times what they owe.

This presents a risk to low-income households if interest rates rise.”

■ KOREA

Men with NZ diplomat in Korea avoid charges Two businessmen with a New Zealand diplomat when he allegedly shoved Korean policemen and kicked their patrol car have avoided charges.

Police were called to a bar in Seoul’s Itaewon district on May 24 following a complaint by a female staff member about the conduct of the two New Zealand businessmen.

Police investigated but no charges were laid against the men, who have since left Korea, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Mfat) confirmed yesterday.

However, a New Zealand diplomat who was with them is still under investigation.

The Korea Times reported that the diplomat was taken in for questioning after he allegedly obstructed police from arresting two friends on suspicion of molesting a female bar worker.

As police went to arrest the men, the New Zealand diplomat allegedly pushed them and kicked the patrol car.

But after he was taken to Yongsan Police Station the man was freed after he invoked diplomatic immunity, the report stated. The Vienna Convention gives foreign diplomats immunity from civil or criminal prosecution.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully said yester that on June 9 he signed a document that waived immunity for the diplomat, which allowed local police to interview the man.

“I think it is well established that we expect diplomats in New Zealand to behave well and be accountable under our laws, and we try and take the same approach in other people’s jurisdictions.”

Mr McCully would not go into the details of the allegations, but said reports in Korean media were “completely incorrect”.

“They are certainly incorrect about the process, anyway.”

He would not give details about the diplomat, but said it was not New Zealand’s ambassador.

OUR VIEW

You’ve got to know when to fold ‘em Sue Newman

T

here’s a real skill, a humility even, in knowing when to admit you’re wrong.

And that’s something the Ashburton District Council needs to think about as it battles our retailers over the town’s terminally ill parking meters.

The retailers are fed up. It’s tough enough to make a living in an area where half the buildings have been demolished, where others are standing empty while post earthquake work is carried out and where online business constantly nips at their bottom line.

On top of that, the last thing they need is a parking regime that gives shoppers every incentive not to come into the town centre to do their retail business. They’re being turned away because they fear being hit with a parking fine because the East Street meters are on the blink – again.

The pay and display machines were supposed to be the latest, greatest and most foolproof replacement possible for their predecessors, the constantly outof-action pedestal meters. From day one of installation, however, the new, cumbersome beasts have been a user nightmare.

Shopper frustration has reached a point where people are now not bothering to come into town to shop and retailers say that, combined with the lingering impact of the Canterbury earthquakes, they’re struggling to make a living and that means Ashburton will ultimately struggle to maintain a viable retail heart.

If retailers start shutting their doors our town will become just another small spot on the map that travellers pass through, rather than a place to stop, shop and enjoy.

In an ideal world parking would be free in the centre of town, but that will never happen because it’s a decent-sized revenue earner for the council. And the retailers are not asking for open slather parking. They’re being pretty darned reasonable.

They want a return to the days of one-hour parking limits where tyres are chalked and wardens keep tabs on overstayers. And that would be a win for the council – no more expensive fix-it jobs on broken meters, but most of their current income would still remain. And it would be a win for retailers and the community – more business and trouble-free parking.

YOUR VIEW Calf kill Last year a proposal was put to Fairton and Pareora to work weekends for a flat rate and removal of all allowances etc.

It was turned down by over 97 per cent.

SFF then gave the calf kill to Pareora. Even though both plants had rejected the proposal.

This year in late May, SFF presented a proposal to both Fairton and Pareora seeking the dropping of all overtime/penal rates and allowances for Saturday and Sunday work and start work at 2pm with the option of a 4pm start or later, on a daily basis.

That proposal was rejected by a significant majority at both plants.

On June 22 SFF didn’t ask Fairton but went ONLY to Pareora to present a new proposal.

Overtime/penal rates would remain for Saturday and Sunday work.

They would pay an additional 2 per cent holiday pay for the calf kill period and they required a 2pm start time

CRUMB

Pareora voted and agreed.

Fairton could never agree because they were never asked.

Lot 9 At times you have to stand up and be counted. One of those times is now, for me.

We bring children into this world at our desire, not theirs. As such we have a responsibility and duty to ensure the environment we bring them into is the best we can provide.

Water is the most precious resource we have. Liquid gold, not just in monetary terms, but most importantly as our life force. What possible excuse could we have for allowing such a pure source from a wonderful lower aquifer to be given away?

It is our insurance policy for future generations and should be protected at all costs. Don’t abuse them by denying them the right to clean, unpolluted water.

To date we have an abysmal record for nurturing our environment. Time to start cleaning the

slate and begin afresh.

Ashburton District Council, do the right thing. Don’t sell us out for a quick dollar. Integrity is something to be really proud of.

Stop the sale of Lot 9 as a water bottling plant, for now and always. Keep it for future drinking within our district.

Have a more long-sighted vision than you are showing at the moment.

2. How much was the cost of setting up the new council meeting room in this building?

Doug Forsyth The Ashburton District Council

community relations manager Vincie Billante replies: 1. We haven’t earthquake strengthened the administration building at 5 Baring Square or the old County Council Building at Baring Square East. The administration building has been assessed at 34 per cent of the New Building Standard (NBS) at Importance Level 3. If the building is to be used as a Civil Defence Headquarters it needs to be at IL4. The current NBS assessment at IL4 for the administration building is 24 per cent. There is a feasibility study under way which is looking at this issue. The old county council chamber is assessed to be at 40 per cent at IL3.

2. The cost of the fit-out work for the council chamber and meeting rooms at the old County Council Building was $11,368. The cost of the capital works involved to alter the building for the new chambers and meeting rooms is $176,166.

Use a midwinter celebration to have a great time with families and friends.

Midwinter a time for freezing and feasting June 21 marked the longest night of the year, so it’s all downhill from here – quite literally for those who head up to the hills during the winter ski season.

That’s if the snow arrives in decent amounts, of course, to coat the scree in that spongy whiteness.

Ten thirty-four am on June 21 may have officially marked the winter solstice, but the season itself is somewhat tardy in its arrival over most of New Zealand this year.

Scott Base is of course the exception, but being located in Antarctica at the 77th parallel does provide something of an advantage when it comes to frozen surroundings.

It also came with a wealth of history regarding mid-June festivities – for those in Antarctica,

Hanne Nielsen

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

“Midwinter” is the most important celebration of the year.

Ever since the explorers of the Heroic Era headed south in the early 1900s and spent long dark winters in the Ross Sea area, the winter solstice has been heralded with fine food, wine, music, performances and fanfare.

Special menus are prepared and illustrated, to be kept as souvenirs.

These days it is usual for the winter over crew at each Antarc-

tic station to take a photograph of themselves and share it with others on the continent, along with midwinter greetings.

Sometimes those on base even set up a video link back to the outside world, so that Antarctic Society diners in New Zealand can join in the festivities.

You don’t need a direct line to Antarctica in order to celebrate, of course.

While 45 South is not nearly as dramatic a latitude as 77, we’ve made something of a tradition of celebrating midwinter in New Zealand too.

With so many Irish, Scottish, and other Northern Hemisphere immigrants on these shores, there are a great many people who associate snows and winter with Christmas.

storefronts in the December heat may look absurd, but the link between freezing and feasting is easy to translate into our own winter months.

Midwinter Christmas has become an annual event for us, with friends travelling from all over New Zealand to somewhere properly cold – Methven, I’m looking at you – to share stories from the past year and enjoy the warmth of each other’s company.

Will Antarctica pay the hills of New Zealand a social visit in the coming weeks? That remains to be seen.

As we slowly head back towards the summer end of the year, let’s just make the most of whatever powder we get – and use a midwinter celebration to have a great time with our families and friends.

■ BRITAIN

Second vote mooted Britain should have a second referendum on the terms of leaving the European Union if it can secure a deal to control its borders, a Cabinet minister says.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, becomes the first minister to suggest Britain could hold another vote on Brexit, despite the Leave victory last week.

He says the new prime minister must be allowed to “negotiate a deal” with Brussels and “put it to the British people” either by calling a general election or having another referendum.

Britain must remain in the single market and needs to reach a “sensible compromise” with the EU over freedom of movement rules to allow the UK to control migration, he insists.

Hunt says: “We must not invoke Article 50 straight away because that puts a time limit of two years on negotiations, after which we could be thrown out with no deal at all.

“So before setting the clock ticking we need to negotiate a deal and put it to the British people, either in a referendum or through the Conservative manifesto at a fresh general election.”

Poland yesterday said that Britain should have a second referendum, in stark contrast to other EU countries’ calls for the UK to begin the process of leaving immediately.

The Czech Republic called for Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, to step down over his failure to keep Britain in the EU. Polish and Austrian politicians added their voices to the calls.

Kanye’s video slammed Girls star Lena Dunham has branded Kanye West’s controversial Famous clip “disturbing” and “sickening” for depicting naked celebrities without their consent.

The biblical-inspired bed scene features West and his wife Kim Kardashian naked in bed with wax figures of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Chris Brown, West’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, Kardashian’s sex tape co-star Ray J and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, among others. “Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they’ve been drugged and chucked aside at a rager?,” Dunham wrote in a post.

British Prime Minister David Cameron: Meeting with the European Council for the first time since Britain voted to leave the European Union.

David Cameron was attending a European Council meeting in Brussels – the first time he will have seen European leaders since the vote – overnight amid signs of a growing split in Europe over how to handle Brexit.

Speaking in Parliament, Cameron suggested a second referendum is possible but that it will be a decision for the next prime minister.

He said there is a “very strong case” for remaining in the single market, something which EU leaders say is impossible without accepting unlimited numbers of migrants from the Continent.

Both Hunt and Cameron insist that the result of the referendum must be accepted and that Britain will leave.

However, their comments risk angering Eurosceptics

who believe that ending freedom of movement rules is a “red line” and may accuse them of ignoring the vote to leave the EU. He says: “The people have spoken - and Parliament must listen. Britain must and will leave the EU. “But we did not vote on the terms of our departure.”

He says the vote shows “the country has rejected the free movement of people as it currently operates”.

He adds: “So our plan must be to encourage them to reform those rules, thereby opening up a space for a ‘Norway-plus’ option for us – full access to the single market with a sensible compromise on free-movement rules.

“As their biggest non-EU trading partner, it is in the European interest to do this deal

with them as much as it is in our interests to secure it.”

He says by negotiating an exit deal and putting it to the British people in a vote, it will “concentrate minds across the Channel: if they want to conclude this amicably and quickly, which is in their interests as much as ours, they need to put a ‘Norway-plus’ deal on the table”.

However, the EU was yesterday deeply divided over its response to the referendum result.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Poland’s ruling party, said his country wants Britain to hold a second referendum on EU membership.

“Our idea for today ... foresees efforts aimed at making Britain return, including a second referendum,” he said.

Timberlake ended with: “I apologise to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.”

Jack Daniel’s ‘created by slaves’

BY NICK ALLEN The makers of Jack Daniel’s, America’s favourite whiskey, have admitted for the first time that a Tennessee slave was behind its fabled recipe.

For 150 years, credit for teaching the young Jack Daniel how to distil had gone to the Rev Dan Call, a Lutheran preacher in Lynchburg.

But the company has now said that it was not Call but his slave, a man called Nearis Green, who in fact provided the expertise.

As a boy Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel, was sent to work for Call, who as well as being a minister ran a general store and distillery.

In the mid-19th century distilleries were owned by white businessmen but much of the work involved in making the whiskey was done by slaves.

Many slaves relied on techniques brought from Africa

and became experts, often making it clandestinely themselves.

George Washington had half a dozen slaves working under Scottish foremen at his distillery in Virginia.

In 1805, Andrew Jackson, the future president, offered a bounty for a slave who had run away, describing him as a “good distiller”.

The key role of Nearis Green in advising Jack Daniel had been suspected before but, like that of many slaves, his contribution to the development of US whiskey was never recorded.

One history of Jack Daniel’s written in 1967 did suggest that Call had instructed the slave to show Daniel how to distil.

The minister was said to have remarked at the time: “Uncle Nearis is the best whiskey maker that I know of”.

Rihanna’s Star Trek ballad Rihanna has unveiled her latest single, and it’s out of this world. Her new song Sledgehammer, which features in the latest trailer for Star Trek Beyond, showcases the singer’s vocals in a ballad of epic proportions. Featuring the lyrics “You’re just another brick and I’m a sledgehammer”, the song backs stunning space scenes and action-packed alien showdowns that will feature in the upcoming Star Trek film. Rihanna has seemingly been working on the song since 2014 when she posted some of the lyrics to the emotional ballad on Twitter.

In brief

■ LOW INTEREST RATES

Negative equity major issue

ers accounted for almost half of the $496 million of high loan-tovalue ratio mortgage lending last month.

In June 2015, first-home buyers made up 38 per cent of $462 million of mortgage lending where less than 20 per cent of the purchase

price was offered as a deposit.

Since then, mortgage rates have fallen to a one-year fixed rate at 4.38 per cent as at June 24, compared to 5.15 per cent a year earlier, while at the same time house prices have accelerated as a shortage of supply fails to meet growing demand backed by record inbound net migration.

Yesterday’s report shows the median net worth of a household was $289,000, of which housing and mortgage debt were typically the biggest components.

A quarter of the country’s households had a net worth between $0 and $100,000, and a further 11 per cent between $100,000 and $200,000. About 15 per cent had net assets worth more than $1 million.

Judge Dawson said Suskandla – also from Mt Roskill - had only been involved in four of the 20 incidents and sentenced him to 220 hours of community work. Reddy will be sentenced in August.

A 24-year-old man, accused of handling more than $40,000 of the stolen chips, will enter a plea next month.

According to court documents the scam began on Christmas Eve with $990 of chips given to Suskandla and $1485 to the codefendant.

Over the next three weeks it is alleged the second man was the main recipient of the stolen chips, on one occasion being given as much as $7115.

In their report, the administrators said when they were appointed two of the stores were closed immediately and the stock trans-

ferred to the remaining two.

They engaged with the purchaser of the Australian operation about the potential sale of the New Zealand stores.

The administrators’ report said the company had been insolvent for “a considerable period of time” and “regrettably, a sale of the business was not feasible”.

Staff at the stores were owed $19,234, but have since been paid.

Unsecured creditors were owed $2.5 million, leaving a deficit of $2.3 million, according to the report.

Worker steals casino chips A SkyCity worker has admitted stealing more than $45,000 of casino chips from his former employer.

For nearly a month Chandra Komati Reddy, 34, swiped the tokens and handed them on to associates who would cash them in; before the funds were split between the men.

The Mt Roskill man appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday afternoon where he admitted multiple charges of theft by a person in a special relationship.

Judge Nevin Dawson said he may have got away with it had it not been for the stringent security protocols employed by the casino.

Reddy has since been dismissed

by SkyCity, it is understood.

Rajini Kanthreddy Suskandla, 26, also acknowledged his role in the scam yesterday.

His offending was limited to the first week of the enterprise at the end of 2015, from which he gained $4345.

New Zealand export log prices slid to a five-month low in June as returns were hurt by a stronger local currency and an increase in shipping costs. The average wharf gate price for New Zealand A-grade logs dropped to $116 in June, from $120 a tonne in May, according to AgriHQ’s monthly survey of exporters, forest owners and saw millers. That’s the lowest level since January’s $115 a tonne.

As at June 30, 2015, 4.6 per cent of the country’s 1.67 million households had a net worth of between $0 and negative $100,000 and 0.6 per cent were in even deeper negative equity, Statistics New Zealand’s household net worth figures show.

The report is the first of a new series, which the agency last touched on during a longitudinal study through last decade.

While not comparable on a like-for-like basis, the earlier se-

ries shows fewer than 50,000 of New Zealand’s 975,000 families were in negative equity in 2004, while 6 per cent, or 22,900, of individuals living alone and 18 per cent, or 43,800, of individuals living with others owed more than they owned.

Negative equity was a major concern for Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler when he imposed restrictions on bank lending with small deposits in 2013 in an effort to avoid the harm caused by the sub-prime crisis in the US in 2007 where aggressive lending left many households under water.

Those restrictions immediately saw a drop-off in first-home buyers, though Reserve Bank figures yesterday showed those purchas-

FIFTY is the new

Wednesday, June 29, 2016

Fifty is now the new forty Once upon a time, the big 50 was seen as the first step to retirement.

Now, it can be a passport to freedom, as youthful 50-somethings take advantage of better health, better finances and plenty of energy, to make 50 the new 40.

Better health starts with healthy eating and exercise and around Mid Canterbury there are a host of ways to work out, from a simple – and free - walk around Lake Hood to a full-on session with a personal trainer.

The EA Networks Centre has group fitness classes including everything from Bodycombat to Bodybalance, and its 25m pool offers lap swimming or aqua classes. Ashburton also boasts plenty of good walking, running and biking tracks, from the Ashburton River track to the Ashburton Domain.

If the kids have left home, it can be a good time to redecorate. Plan a bedroom that’s a sensual escape rather than a spot for a pile of laundry, and think about forking out for a widescreen TV to enjoy all the films on DVD that you

never got round to watching when the kids were hogging the remote.

Most people in their 50s also say they have more confidence than they used to because with age comes wisdom and an acceptance of who you are and what you want.

It can be hard to do anything for yourself when you’re raising a family but now you’re free to pursue all those ideas that have sat on the back burner for 20 years or more.

Now’s the time to learn Japanese or get back up Mt Hutt.

It’s often the case that a lower mortgage after years of hefty payments, down-sizing the family home, or just more opportunity to save now the kids aren’t draining away your cash, means you’re able to afford to do this more than ever before.

Fifty-somethings buy more new cars than any other age-group, and go on more exotic holidays. So it’s no surprise that the over-50s are increasingly known as “SKI-ers” - Spending the Kids’ Inheritance.

Fabulous Try new things When Claire Potter’s husband turned 50, she gave him a list rather than a present.

The idea was to drip-feed small experiences and adventures to make his year as a 50-year-old pack a punch.

She said the mini-challenges were designed to help him to try new things, seize more pleasure, connect (or reconnect) with people, appreciate the little things, get round to doing things he’d always wanted to do, go out of his comfort zone or just do something playful and random for the sake of it.

Luckily, he loved the idea and undertook to do one a week for the whole year.

Here are some of Claire’s challenges, adapted for the Mid Canterbury landscape: 1.

Reassess your wardrobe Simple and classic pieces will become your wardrobe staple as these are lasting and versatile. It’s also a time to pay careful attention to quality and fit – frumpy clothing makes you look older and clingy clothes are simply not appropriate.

1. Choose the right colours

Turning 50 is not an excuse to exchange your colourful wardrobe for dull and uninspiring apparel. Choose the right colours for your skin tone and you’ll look younger and healthier. If you change your hair colour – this includes highlights and lowlights - reevaluate your palette to find your ideal colour.

2. Pay attention to the style and fit Schedule a professional fitting or ask a trusted friend to determine your size for your garments and underwear.

Tailored clothing and wellfitting underwear are essential at this age. Ask a professional to recommend clothing based on your proportions and body shape. Instead of hiding your unflattering areas behind baggy clothing, choose pieces that will emphasise your strong points and minimise the unflattering ones.

3. Mix and match your pieces

There’s been a dramatic shift in what’s considered appropriate office wear in the past decade.

From tailored suits to feminine dresses and jeans, office looks are as varied as the people working there. Separates have replaced full suits, which is advantageous because you can mix and match your outfits. Do not purchase those boxy blazers with the padded

shoulders; they’re unflattering on any figure. Tailored jackets are figure flattering, and you can easily wear them with trousers, pencil skirts, jeans and dresses.

4. Remember that you can wear jeans at any age

Jeans are acceptable at any age, but one of the biggest pitfalls of over 50s women is the unflattering mum jeans. A pair of well-made jeans pays for itself over and over again.

Try on different shapes and sizes to find age-appropriate jeans that flatter your figure. The rise should be somewhere between the low-rise and high-rise mom jean cut. Stick to a classic wash devoid of holes, embroidery, and other embellishments; jeans with 2-3 per cent lycra can be flattering.

5. Hair and makeup are also important

Your clothing says a lot but it’s your hair and makeup that give away or hide your age. The haircut that worked for you years ago might not be suitable in your 50s. Bangs, layers, angles, highlights and lowlights are just some changes you can add to soften your face and draw eyes away from unwanted facial lines.

Grey hair does not automatically make you look older so don’t immediately reach for the hair colour if you see some grey emerging.

Don’t wait, get your hearing checked Deteriorating hearing makes it increasingly difficult for us to converse with other people.

We mishear things with greater frequency and have to keep asking people to repeat things. Outsiders can often react with miscomprehension. All this eats away at our selfconfidence and can have a negative impact on our general well-being and our quality of life as a whole.

Hearing loss generally develops slowly over many years; the effects become apparent only gradually.

This makes it difficult for those affected to recognise that they are actually suffering from a hearing impairment.

Relatives, friends or colleagues are often the first to realise that something is wrong. You may have a hearing impairment if you frequently ask people to repeat what they have just said, or you play your music or television loud enough for family and friends to comment.

Hearing loss is not something to be taken lightly. It is important to do something about it, sooner rather than later. Hearing is no different to any other part of the human body: it

requires exercise and stimulation.

Hearing stimulates and trains the brain. If this stimulus is taken away, hearing not only gets progressively worse but the understanding of speech will also start to deteriorate.

A hearing instrument helps to maintain neural pathways in your brain responsible for hearing all the sounds around you.

It is not only older people who suffer from hearing impairment. Noiseinduced hearing loss is widespread across all age groups. Today, young people increasingly have hearing impairments too – excessively loud music listened to via headphones, at concerts and nightclubs is having a major impact. Construction workers, ambulance drivers, DJs and factory workers: these are all examples of professions where loud noise can have a lasting and damaging impact.

If you’ve been having doubts about your hearing or you are concerned about hearing impairment, then now is the right time to have it checked. Being concerned about

Granny’s chicken soup Old roasting fowls make a wonderful soup, so it is worth hunting them down if you are a serious soup-maker!

■ Thaw the bird if necessary and remove neck and giblets from body cavity. Place the bird, giblets etc in a pot large enough to hold the bird and the water. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sherry to the pot.

■ Cover tightly and bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about four hours. Add the tops, bottoms and any peelings from the onion, carrot and celery, as soon as you prepare these veg-

oup is the ultimate comfort food in winter.

It’s usually easy, nutritious and tasty. 100 Soup Recipes from Simon and Alison Holst is divine – from old favourites to the more adventurous palate, it would be a challenge to not find some recipes you love in this book.

The Guardian is lucky enough to have a copy from Hyndman Publishing to give away and we’re publishing some tempters below.

For 6-8 servings: 1.5kg (about) roasting fowl or roasting hen 8C (2L) water 1-2t finely chopped garlic 1t grated or minced fresh ginger 2T soy sauce 2T sherry 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1 carrot, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1/2 C macaroni 1T rolled oats 1 small potato, unpeeled and grated Chopped parsley and other fresh herbs Salt and pepper

etables (which are to be added later).

Lift the bird from the pot and, when cool enough to work with, separate the flesh from the skin and bones, using your fingers.

Put all the bones and trimmings back to cook in the liquid for 3060 minutes longer.

Strain the liquid and discard the debris. Pour, spoon or skim off the fat which rises to the top.

To make the soup, bring the stock back to the boil, add the onion, carrot and celery and bring back to the boil before adding the macaroni and rolled oats.

Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the macaroni and vegetables are tender, then add the potato, chopped herbs and season carefully to taste. (The potato will thicken the soup and must not be added before the other vegetables are cooked.)

Add some of the cold chopped chicken, if you like. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers.

■ HINT: Soup left to stand for long may need to be thinned down with vegetable cooking liquid or water. Adjust seasoning before serving.

Mexican beef, lime & tortilla soup This spicy soup makes an interesting and warming meal. Corn tortillas may sound like an unusual addition to a soup, but after simmering in liquid for a while they soften and swell, becoming almost like pasta. If you have a choice, use lime rather than lemon juice – it’ll give a particularly good flavour.

For 4 servings: 2T olive or canola oil 1 large onion, peeled and diced 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 medium green pepper, cored and diced 500g lean beef mince 2t ground cumin

■ Heat the oil in a large pot. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the onion is soft and just beginning to brown.

■ Add the green pepper and the beef mince to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the beef is lightly browned.

■ Sprinkle in the spices and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute longer. Add the oregano, tomatoes and stock. Bring the soup to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

■ While the soup simmers, chop five of the tortillas into pieces about 2.5cm square, then stir into the soup along with the lime or lemon juice and salt to taste.

Simmer for about five minutes longer, then stir in most of the chopped coriander (reserving a little for garnish).

■ To make an attractive garnish while the soup simmers, cut the remaining tortilla into strips about 5mm wide. Heat the second measure of oil in a medium non-stick frying pan, add the tortilla strips and cook until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels; they will crisp up as they cool.

■ Serve the soup, garnished with the crisp tortilla strips and the reserved chopped coriander.

An avocado and tomato salad and perhaps some additional warmed tortillas make excellent accompaniments.

Focus on nature Dunedin-based jeweller Lynn Kelly is one of the guest artists at this year’s Ashburton Society of Arts annual exhibition.

Kelly, who has been making jewellery since 1988, works with a variety of materials including metal and polished slices of fossilised plants.

She is especially attracted to the synthesis of organic and tradition jewellery creating distinctive forms of ferns, seed pods and flowers.

Much of her latest work is influenced by the beach following a twomonth artists residence on a bach on the edge of Scandretts Bay as the Auckland Council’s regional parks artist in resi-

dence at the end of 2014.

Kelly has works in the Auckland Museum, Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand and The Dowse Art Museum.

She exhibits widely in solo and group shows both in New Zealand and internationally.

Her work has been displayed in the New Zealand Jewellery Biennale Exhibitions and has won a number of awards including the Molly Morpeth Canaday Wear Aotearoa Award, the Dowse Foundation Gold Award and the Caselberg Trust Creative Wilderness Residency to Dusky Sound.

The 52 annual exhibition opening night is on July 4.

Director’s workshop in Ashburton The Big Little Theatre Company will be hosting associate director of The Court Theatre, Daniel Pengelly, for a full day directing scripted theatre on Sunday.

He hails from North Canterbury and attended school at St Thomas of Canterbury College.

He also studied commerce at the University of Canterbury and Cookery at the former Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology.

His involvement with The Court Theatre began in 2000 through a theatresports competition for high schools and an ambassador programme.

Following this he has since performed with The Court Jesters, in children’s shows and play readings.

He has directed in the young playwright programme, the children’s programme and The Forge.

The Big Little Theatre Company director Jackie Heffernan said the course is a must do for any existing or potential directors of scripted work including student directors.

In brief Friend hangs up boots Gold Coast co-captain Nathan Friend will retire from the NRL at the end of the 2016 season. The 35-year-old hooker announced his intention to quit the game, saying the time had come for him to focus on wife Kellie and their two children. Friend’s 15-year career began in 2002 when he debuted for Brisbane, he played 100 games for Gold Coast before joining the Warriors for three seasons. - NZME

Big bucks for Radradra Semi Radradra stands to collect $35,000 a week tax free if he switches to union. French club Bordeaux have tabled the Eels winger a huge deal which would dwarf his reported NRL salary of $375,000. A major reason Radradra will earn far more money in France is that his income will be taxed at 8 per cent, whereas in Australia he is taxed at the top bracket of 46 per cent. It means that for one year in France, Radradra can clear $426,752 after tax.

Trophy round heating up

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Week two of the premier netball grade’s trophy round will pit Methven against Ashburton College, while Celtic take on Hampstead and Southern lock horns with United.

Both College and Methven got off to winning starts at the beginning of the season’s most pivotal round.

College edged out United 2724 in what was their third victory in as many days after seeing off Burnside in a school exchange and St Andrew’s College in the SuperNet competition.

Meanwhile Methven dealt Celtic their second loss of the season in a 37-27 win.

Methven had downed Celtic in round one before the greens returned the favour earlier this

month, but Greta Currie’s side were convincing last week.

Celtic will now look to put the loss behind them when they take on Hampstead.

Hampstead recorded just one win in round two with a transient line-up making it difficult for Cindy Meadows to achieve consistency on the court, but a solid 23-15 victory over Southern last week will have bred con-

fidence throughout the team.

Southern and United will take to the ACL Court at 7.30pm with both teams determined to kick start their trophy round campaigns.

Tomorrow’s ACL Premier Grade Netball fixtures: Methven Wareings A v Ashburton College A, 6.30pm, ACL Court. Hampstead A v Celtic A, 6.30pm, Vetent Court. Southern v United A, ACL Court, 7.30pm.

■ CYCLING

Tour investigating hidden motors on bikes High-powered thermal cameras using atomic research technology will be used on the Tour de France to help eradicate the threat of riders using hidden motors inside their bikes.

A leading French science and technology research body into atomic energy, called the CEA, will provide the technology required for the testing, France’s junior minister for sports Thierry Braillard said yesterday.

Thermal cameras help to detect the heat produced by a small hidden motor, even if the motor is turned off.

CEA-provided cameras were used at the French cycling championships over the weekend and

further research is ongoing.

Braillard said a new law will be submitted to parliament for approval later this year, whereby “sporting fraud” of this nature is punishable by law.

The International Cycling Union added that it has enough resources to carry out up to 4000 tests at the Tour, which begins on Saturday.

“We are sending a clear message, which is that there is literally nowhere to hide for anyone foolish enough to attempt to be cheating in this way,” UCI president Brian Cookson said yesterday.

The UCI previously said its magnetic resistance test is more

effective than “flawed” heatseeking tests, which it said were only effective if bikes are filmed close up from motorcycles.

A magnetic resistance test is carried out with a tablet computer using software to scan a bike, and it can detect motors, magnets and batteries in a bicycle’s frame, wheel hubs and rims in less than 30 seconds.

The UCI banned cyclo-cross rider Femke Van Den Driessche (right) of Belgium from cycling for six years.

She was caught using a hidden motor at a world championship race, and the sanction was a first using rules on mechanical doping.

Paul Gallen is at a loss to understand Phil Gould’s controversial post-Origin comments labelling the NSW leadership group selfish.

The NSW captain has come under fire since the Blues’ series-defining 26-16 loss in game two, with calls also made for his sacking ahead of what would be his farewell match in the dead rubber in Sydney. However a frustrated Gallen says he is perplexed by Gould’s comments and neither he nor vice captain Robbie Farah understand the criticism levelled at them.

Doggies eye top four Inspirational skipper James Graham has fired Canterbury into top four contention with the Bulldogs proclaiming they’re the real deal. Des Hasler’s side put on an impressive show of strength in their 40-14 rout of an Origin-affected Brisbane which served as a warning shot for the rest of the NRL. With his side showing signs of peaking at the right time of the year, statistics show that Graham has been one of the competition’s most consistent performers in 2016.

Broncos star frustrated Brisbane hooker Andrew McCullough says he’s never been more frustrated in his NRL career than over the past month. The Broncos rake has been sidelined with a broken thumb while his club have slipped out of the top four, slumping to five defeats in seven games.

McCullough is a near-certainty to return for Friday’s home clash with Melbourne after completing training yesterday.

Partnership defended Luke Brooks has rubbished suggestions he and Wests Tigers halves partner Mitchell Moses are incapable of working with Robbie Farah.

The NSW hooker is expected to return from a head knock in their clash against Penrith on Sunday and Brooks says they will only be stronger for his presence. Farah’s dynamic with the young playmakers is under the microscope due to the side’s superior record when he’s on the sidelines however Brooks says it’s unfair to tarnish him that way.

■ FOOTBALL

In brief

Iceland provides ‘Brexit 2’ England capped an ignominious double in Nice, becoming the first country shunted from Europe twice in a week and in the process losing both their prime minister and national football team manager.

Days after English voters steered the United Kingdom towards a “Brexit” from the European Union, England provided another shock, crashing out of Euro 2016 yesterday to Iceland – the smallest country to appear in a major tournament.

“We embarrassed ourselves three or four days ago in the referendum, we’ve embarrassed ourselves now.

“It’s a really, really sad time to be English,” lamented English soccer fan Alex in the French city of Nice.

“Brexit2” quickly became a top trending topic on Twitter after Iceland, with their population of just 332,000, beat England’s bevy of highly paid players 2-1.

“The beautiful Irony. #England knocked out of #Euro2016 by country not even in the EU! Maybe that’s why they pressed the #Brexit button,” joked one Twitter user.

Manager Roy Hodgson resigned within minutes, following hot on the heels of Prime Minister David Cameron who quit on Friday after the vote to leave the EU. The referendum result stunned European leaders, sent the British pound to multi-decade lows and cost Britain its AAA credit rating.

Experts called it the biggest blow to the EU project since its inception after World War Two. The response to the soccer shock was dramatic too as fans contemplated the 50th anniversary of England’s 1966 World Cup win in about one month’s time.

Pundits ranked the defeat for a country that claims to have invented the game and is ranked

England’s Jack Wilshere, (left) and Kyle Walker at the end of the match between England and Iceland.

11th in the world among the worst since they lost to the amateurs of the US in the 1950 World Cup. “Mon dieu! Brexit X2 in a week from hell. Exit Europe, lose AAA rating, lose to Iceland in #Euro2016 utter nightmare! #Brexit2,” mocked one French Twitter user.

Jokes also proliferated online about setting up petitions to get the match replayed – a mirror of the online campaign to get the

referendum vote overturned by parliament.

One suggested Hodgson should take over from Cameron because he would be the perfect man to lead the country out of Europe.

Aron Gunnarsson, every inch the bearded Viking, ran shirtless toward the Iceland fans and led them in their victory chants after the final whistle.

Beating England at the European Championship was more

than just Iceland’s greatest sporting success.

It was a moment of national triumph in a country where the team’s improbable progress from the group stage had already outshone coverage of Saturday’s presidential election.

The Scandinavian nation, by the far the smallest country to qualify for a European Championship, inflicted a shattering defeat on the country that has been the model for Icelandic football for decades.

Defender Ragnar Sigurdsson, who scored Iceland’s first goal and made an outstanding lastditch tackle to deny Jamie Vardy a potential equaliser, said he had “dreamt ... a long time ago” of playing England.

But he sounded a little disappointed with what he’d found.

“We didn’t feel that they created any chances,” he said. “(Harry) Kane had a header opportunity and headed straight to the goalkeeper, there’s a lot that we were just heading away and long shots from distance.”

It was a victory built on smart positioning in defence, Englishstyle physical play and many, many individual errors from England’s players.

Iceland’s rock-solid 4-4-2 formation was a ghost from the past of England coach Roy Hodgson, who along with Bob Houghton introduced it to Sweden when they coached there in the 1970s and 1980s.

One of their disciples was Lars Lagerback, now Iceland’s cocoach.

“I learned a lot from them, they changed the training methods and the coaching education in the long run in Sweden and I was really, really benefiting from that,” Lagerback said, minutes after Hodgson resigned from the England job.

“Respect to a really, really good coach.”

■ RUGBY

All Blacks backing up in Fiji Super Rugby clash

By Patrick Mckendry As Super Rugby resumes after the international break, it appears both the Chiefs and Crusaders teams will be compromised by the toll it has taken on their All Blacks ahead of their pivotal match in Fiji’s capital Suva on Friday.

It could have been a lot worse, and it appears that only Ryan Crotty (calf) has been ruled out of the match, but both Dave Rennie and Todd Blackadder have suggested they will have to juggle their resources carefully, which means some of their front-line players may not start the match.

With the Crusaders holding a three-point lead over the Chiefs at the top of the New Zealand

conference, the stakes could hardly be higher.

There are only two roundrobin matches remaining so the winning team will go a long way in establishing home advantage for the playoffs.

With temperatures forecasted to be in the high 20s, the difference to rain-swept Dunedin, which the All Blacks left on Sunday, could hardly be greater.

“The energy’s there,” Blackadder said.

“If anything, it’s just getting the clarity, getting the guys getting used to the calls again so they can go out there on Friday and rip into it.”

All Blacks skipper Kieran Read has given himself the all-clear to be one of them, despite the

workload involved in starting three tests against Wales in his new leadership role.

But which of the two teams’ All Blacks start the match remains to be seen.

The Crusaders will have eight All Blacks available; Read, Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Joe Moody, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock and Israel Dagg, the Chiefs’ seven; Nathan Harris, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Aaron Cruden, Seta Tamanivalu and Damian McKenzie.

Crockett is likely to start at loosehead prop ahead of Moody, who started all three tests, but apart from Read, the Crusaders’ other All Blacks started a maximum of only two.

For the Chiefs, a question mark surrounds the fitness of first-five Cruden, but apparently he’s close to being fit to start.

Lock Retallick and flanker Cane both got through a lot of work against Wales and will be Rennie’s main concerns.

Read said getting re-acquainted with the Crusaders’ calls and game plan was the hardest task.

“Your mind starts whirring around again trying to remember all those calls from four weeks ago; you’ve got all the All Blacks calls in your head still,” he said.

“So that’s probably the toughest thing, but after a couple of days running around with the boys it starts to come back pretty quickly.”

- NZME

Daylight second Rugby World Cup winning coach Sir Clive Woodward says there is still clear daylight between the All Blacks and rugby’s chasing pack.

The former England coach argues that England are the closest side to New Zealand’s level, but are still not near being a severe threat to the All Blacks. “This England team won’t win the World Cup, although some of those playing in Sydney will certainly provide the core of the team at the 2019 event,” says Woodward. “What the class of 2016 have done is restore pride, and an appreciation of the basics, and made English rugby believe in itself again. Now they must reboot and set their sights sky-high.” - NZME

Radford going to Rio Long distance swimmer Kane Radford has been confirmed in the New Zealand Olympic team for Rio after his appeal over his non-nomination was yesterday upheld by the Sports Tribunal. The Tribunal found there was sound evidence to support Radford’s inclusion in the team for Rio and instructed Swimming New Zealand to go back and review its selections. With the cut-off for confirming Olympic spots with FINA closing today, Swimming New Zealand had to make a final decision under urgency.

Federer made to work Seven-time champion Roger Federer had to claim a pair of tiebreak sets against a player who had never won on grass to wrest his opening match at Wimbledon.

While the third seed was forced to work for his 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 win over Argentine Guido Pella on Monday, top seed Novak Djokovic had it all his way 6-0 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 over Briton James Ward to begin his title defence. The number one won the first nine games and then lost two in a row in the only competitive set of the match. - Reuters

Muguruza wins ugly French Open champion Garbine Muguruza says she had to play ugly to negotiate Wimbledon’s perilous grass courts and a dangerous opponent. But for an appreciative Centre Court crowd, the powerful tennis the elegant Spanish world No.2 produced in downing Camila Giorgi 6-2 5-7 6-4 looked very easy on the eye.

“Sometimes you don’t win very beautiful, but you just got to be there, you know, and fight for the match,” the 22-year-old said. - AP

In brief

■ ROTORUA

Trainer sticking to formula Lee Somervell is heading down a familiar path with Impulsive Habit.

The Cambridge trainer will run the youngster in the TAB 2YO at Rotorua today with a view to then tackling the final black type challenge of the season for juveniles, the Listed Ryder Stakes at Otaki on July 30.

“I did the same thing with Addictive Habit and Stradivarius and they won and both of them ran second in the Ryder,” Somervell said.

“If they can run well in the Ryder

it makes it easier getting a start in the better three-year-old races.”

By Echoes Of Heaven from Addictive Habit’s family, Impulsive Habit has pleased Somervell with his progress toward his race day debut.

“I think he’s destined to do very good things,” he said.

“He’s a massive fellow and I’ve given him four trials, which is more than I normally do, for him to get his act together.

“His last two trials have been very good and in his last win I spoke to Richard Collett, who had

the second horse and he has a high opinion of that one.”

Somervell plans to give Impulsive Habit two runs before he has a break ahead of a spring campaign.

“He’s still got a lot of maturing to do,” he said.

“He’s a beautiful horse and even though it’s a midweek maiden two-year-old race I’m still quite excited.

“Trudy Thornton will ride him and she’s done much of the work on him and got him ticking along nicely.”

Super pacer Christen Me has come through the first run of his Australian campaign with flying colours.

The gelding’s trainer, Cran Dalgety said that there was a bounce in the step of his star on Monday morning after he was initially a quite tired horse on Sunday.

Christen Me finished third in Saturday night’s Wondias Mate at Albion Park.

The defeat was a shock one, but considering he drew one on the second line over a mile and was then forced three and four wide in a 27.1 third quarter, the run of the former Miracle Mile winner was full or merit even though the winner, Glenferrie Hood, came off his back inside the final 150 metres of the race to swamp him and leader Ideal Scott.

“I thought the run was super.

Dexter (Dunn) said he was flying coming off the back,” Dalgety said.

“He was a bit jaded yesterday

Trainer Cran Dalgety and then the same again today.

“But there was a bit of a bounce in his step this morning as well so I’m happy with where we are at.

“I guess initially it probably looked disappointing, but when you break it all down it was a very good run.

“And it’s a run which he will

definitely improve on.

“He tries so hard every time he races so it seems to take a little extra out of him than it might another horse so his recovery is just as important as anything else.”

The defeat, and the decision not to race again until the Sunshine Sprint on July 9 means that they will forgo the opportunity to win a $50,000 bonus as part of the UBet Picket Fence initiative.

Horses are required to win two races in the lead up July 16, which has been touted as Finale night with four selected races carrying bonuses if their winners have won two races in the lead up the meeting.

Christen Me’s bonus was worth $50,000 but Dalgety was happy to now be looking ahead to the two major assignments without any other distraction.

“It would be nice, it’s $50,000 after all but the horse owes us nothing so he comes first.

“That should ensure that now we are ready for the next two

The Rotorua meeting at Arawa Park today has been abandoned.

The course was inspected yesterday by the Racing Integrity Unit (RIU) with club officials and due to the water-logged nature of the track and further rain in the forecast the RIU made the recommendation. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, along with the Northern Programming Committee, will look to programme opportunities for runners in the coming weeks and the Rating 65 1400 at Te Rapa on Saturday has been re-opened with the intention of dividing the event.

Dalgety is due to return to Christchurch today with Christen Me’s right hand man, Murray Howard taking over the day-to-day control of the pacer in the lead up to the Blacks A Fake.

“Muz knows the horse better than anyone.

“He’ll have him ready for the big show I’m sure of that.”

Back on home soil Dalgety has a race of his own to focus on.

He’s currently third on the national trainers’ premiership with 57 wins, but has the Greg and Nina Hope (55), Mark Jones (52) and Phil Williamson (51) stables breathing down his neck.

He’s got 13 horses engaged over three meetings in both the South and North Islands this weekend including unbeaten two-year-old On The Rantan who will look to make it three wins in as many starts in his bonus run in the C1 grade at Addington on Thursday night.

29/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The passive move isn’t always the best one, but today’s conflict probably doesn’t have to involve you. Retreat from that stress and you’ll be advancing to your own centred being.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your truth is very close to that of your friend’s. Because you can understand each other so well, the exchange you have this afternoon will be cathartic. It feels good to be heard.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The question is whether you should do the job yourself or enlist someone else to do it. The answer will be quickly made obvious when the right person makes the job look easy.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It’s easy to be confident when you’re comfortable, your sartorial decisions will matter much to the outcome of today’s business. Perfectly dressed for the occasion at hand, you’ll have a distinct advantage.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Heart to heart exchanges with others make everyone feel more loved. The expansive energy is a contagion that will make its way through the Borromean rings of your social world.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Most of the jobs today are important enough to take seriously, get right and finish before you hit the pillow tonight. But the thing that is the most important job will be the silliest one.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The exchange of energy, ideas and feelings, flowing back and forth is what makes a group of people feel like home. When this exchange is interrupted, seek to heal the breach.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Each person in the team is helping the other reach new potentials. It’s not a conscious effort; rather, it’s the very nature of the group to elevate one another in the spirit of competition and camaraderie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You have limited time and much to do today; it’s true. However, you’ll find that when you endeavour to fully inhabit the moment, it will bend and stretch to love you back.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Information you learn today will be a puzzle that will intrigue you for weeks to come. A mystery can be a delightful diversion, and this one has personal implications, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There are so many ways to see the truths of the day. Some are hard, others warm; then there are bright truths and stark ones. And by the way, there’s no good reason to doubt the easy truths – they, too, might exist.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Being around busy, chaotic people will activate your fondness of peace and quiet. The serenity you long for all day will stretch before you tonight, sweetly fulfilling.

Lydia’s star still rising Lydia Ko’s impact on the golfing world continues to spread after her 13th and latest victory on the LPGA tour. After her second major triumph at the ANA Inspiration this year, ESPN suggested Ko should be high in the chatter about the greatest teenage athlete in history. “If Ko is to be considered the most successful teenage athlete in professional sports history ..... she should also be lauded for the almost frighteningly tranquil manner in which she has done it,” wrote Melissa Isaacson. Those sentiments recurred in Larry Bohannan’s observations for the Desert Sun when he wrote; “the victory cements Ko’s place as perhaps the greatest teen phenom in golf history, not just the LPGA.”

Michael Lynch is enjoying his Watters Cup experience with Methven.

Lending weight to Methven

BY JAMES FORD

Irishman Michael Lynch will bolster Methven’s forward pack in this season’s Watters Cup after arriving in New Zealand late last month.

The tighthead prop plays his rugby for the University of Limerick Bohemians in his homeland, and will offer Andy Pearce’s side plenty of quality upfront.

The 21-year-old turned out for Methven in the latter stages of their frustrating Combined Country campaign, and is now hoping to make a big impression in the Watters Cup. Lynch said he is enjoying the intensity of the domestic competition, and is adjusting to a

notably faster pace of rugby.

“I feel it’s a bit quicker, up north there’s a lot of bumping and grinding,” he said. “Here, it’s still very physical, but there’s that look to spread it wide.”

The opportunity to don the black and white of Methven wasn’t Lynch’s first chance to play in the Southern Hemisphere.

The biomedical engineering student was set to play at the World Rugby Under-20 Championships in New Zealand two years ago, but a string of injuries dashed his hopes of representing Ireland.

Lynch had a hip labral tear, which sidelined him for a year – but his injury woes didn’t end there.

“I wasn’t able to even squat or sprint without being in pain.

“I was gone for a whole year,” he said.

“On the road to recovery I tore a hamstring and then tore ligaments in my ankle.”

The prolonged spell away from the game was one of the reasons why Lynch jumped at his second chance to play in New Zealand.

“Because of that injury I had missed coming to New Zealand for the Under-20 World Cup with Ireland, so I thought there’s no way I can miss this opportunity,” he said.

In what has been deemed a season of transition for Methven following the departure of

17 senior personnel, the current young squad continues to improve – and Lynch is keen to play his part at the proud Mid Canterbury club.

“Coming into the Watters Cup was a step up from the Combined Country Competition in my opinion,” he said “There’s a bit more aggression in the tackles, there’s a bit of fieriness about it.”

Lynch is now out to make the most of his time in Methven, and is also eyeing a Mid Canterbury jersey come August.

“Everybody has been great, accepting me into the club and I’m enjoying it,” he said.

“I want to make the Mid Canterbury team, that’s the aim.”

Dig deep if you want to watch the Lions New Zealand Rugby has released ticket details for next year’s tour of the British and Irish Lions, and the highest price for a test ticket has been set at $449.

Tickets for the series go on general sale from October 28 for

all seven non-test matches – the Lions play all five New Zealand Super teams, plus the Maori and a provincial XV, plus three tests.

As demand for test tickets will outstrip supply, an online ballot will open on September

Friend hanging up the boots P23

5 for those wishing to apply for tickets for the three tests – two of which will be held at Eden Park, and one at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium.

Test match tickets range in price from $149 to $449. Matches

involving the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians, Super Rugby teams and Maori range from $39 to $129. Children’s tickets start at $10 for the Barbarians match and $29 for the other non-Test matches.

DJR Team Penske yesterday announced that one of the top rising stars in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, Scott McLaughlin, will join the team beginning in 2017 to drive the No. 17 DJR Team Penske Ford. Currently ranked third in the championship standings, McLaughlin brings experience and an impressive level of success to DJR Team Penske despite being just 23 years old.

McLaughlin has earned 8 race wins, 17 pole positions and 22 podium results.

Todd lauds his team Mark Todd reckons the strength of the New Zealand eventing team for the Rio Olympics is it has no weaknesses.

And if that sounds odd think of it this way; some New Zealand teams have gone to major events with, as the champion Todd put it “two or three strong members and one or two not so strong”. “We’re a very even lot, all have horses who have performed well at four star level and all have been in good form for the last six months.

That’s the strength we have.” Todd, at 60 is preparing for his eighth Games.
