■ ALLENTON SCHOOL

Principal, ministry at odds over classroom

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Allenton School is running out of teaching space but the Ministry of Education says it is not eligible for another classroom.

The school has a roll of 391 and is using its library, dental clinic and hall as classroom space to teach its new entrant students.

The Ministry of Education deputy secretary sector enablement and support Kim Shannon said Allenton School had around 25 students who were outside of its enrolment scheme zone.

Shannon said the Ministry of Education provided additional learning spaces to schools based on the number of students who live within the enrolment scheme home zone, and enrolment schemes were in place to prevent schools from overcrowding.

“Schools can accept additional students from outside their enrolment zone, but they need to ensure that they have enough room for all students to continue to learn comfortably,” she said.

Shannon said Allenton School had 16 classrooms which accommodated around 365 students.

The ministry assessed a primary school’s eligibility for a new classroom using the October 10, 2016 roll which had Allenton School at 384 students.

Allenton School principal Graham Smith said there were 384 students at the school with 22 from outside their zone, but were slowly reducing it.

■ PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

Porter receives Nuffield scholarship Graham Smith Smith said the roll had increased to 391 students so even with the 22 students from outside their zone, they should still be eligible for another classroom.

The Ministry of Education predicted Allenton School’s student roll would reach 406 next year and by the time the ministry built them another classroom they would still have to use the library, hall and dental clinic which is detrimental to the students’ learning, Smith said.

Shannon said the ministry monitors population trends across the country and tries to get ahead of roll growth wherever it is to ensure every school gets the space it needs.

“We will continue to work with the school to ensure it has capacity for anticipated growth from within its enrolment scheme home zone,” she said.

Mid Canterbury rural journalist and artisan food producer Nadine Porter is one six new Nuffield scholars announced

by Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy yesterday.

Porter is joined by Manawatu dairy farmer and farming advocate Mat Hocken and Oxford-based Rebecca Hyde, who works for Ballance AgriNutrients and has strong skills in environmental management and sustainable farming.

Also in the line-up are Taranaki’s Jason Rolfe, who is an area manager for FMG, farmer and former winner of the Young Farmer of the Year

contest David Kidd and South Canterbury dairy farmer Ryan O’Sullivan.

The latest crop of primary sector emerging leaders join more than 140 of New Zealand’s emerging agricultural leaders to have been awarded Nuffield Scholarships over more than 60 years.

The scholarships are one of the most respected and prestigious awards available in the primary sector and offer a lifechanging opportunity for overseas travel, study of the latest developments in a number of leading agricultural countries and an introduction to leaders

and decision-makers not accessible to ordinary travellers.

Nuffield scholars travel internationally for at least four months in their scholarship year (not necessarily consecutively) and participate in a Contemporary Scholars Conference with 60 Nuffield Scholars from around the world.

They will also attend a sixweek Global Focus Programme with an organised itinerary through several countries with other scholars.

Finally, they will have their own individual study programme with a research report due at the end of their travels.

Massive drugs bust worth $176m A man has been charged with attempting to smuggle almost 200kg of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $176 million, into New Zealand disguised as teabags.

The 20-year-old Hong Kong national appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday after Customs discovered the drugs hidden inside 10 shipping con-

tainers. It is the largest-ever meth bust carried out by Customs.

The man was charged over his role in attempting to smuggle an estimated 176kg of methamphetamine, Customs said.

The discovery was the result of a 16-month investigation, after Customs identified a company believed to have been set up in

June 2015 to smuggle methamphetamine.

In July this year, Customs intercepted 10 shipping containers sent to the company from China, with multiple meth packages concealed within the containers’ doors disguised as bags of tea.

The man is due to appear in Auckland District Court againnext month.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

■ RESTRICTIONS

Theft mars show opening

Water shortages affect Mayfield

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two motorcycle dealers and organisers of the Ashburton A&P Show have been left gutted after the theft of four motorcycles worth a combined $23,500 from the showgrounds on Thursday night.

David Chapman, of Chapman’s Garage at Rakaia, said he arrived about 8.15am yesterday to find a 50cc four-wheeler and a 110cc two-wheeler missing from the trade site he had set up the day before.

Along with the two missing Kawasaki machines, worth together about $8500, were two motorbikes from the nearby McKay and Donaldson site. The 250cc motocross bike and the kids’ 50cc bike were worth about $15,000.

Chapman said it appeared the thieves had cut a hole in a fence on Seafield Road to gain entry to the showgrounds. His Kawasaki site was about 80m away and the intruders then cut a cable securing a number of motorbikes before making off with a KSF50cc four-wheeler and a KLX110 twowheeler.

The chances of getting them back were zero, he said.

It was the first time the Kawasaki dealer had been the victim of a

theft while exhibiting at the show.

“There is a lot of effort by volunteers that goes into organising a show and this is just unfortunate. We don’t blame them.”

About 40m away, Cliff Dray discovered a Yamaha YZ250FX and a TTR50 had also been stolen from the McKay and Donaldson site.

been cabled together and secured with heavy duty padlocks.

The thieves had taken not only the bikes, but the cables and padlocks.

He said the motorbikes were probably stolen to order. “It’s my ninth show and I’m a bit gutted.”

Show president Chris Watson was feeling similarly sick and apologised for the theft. A security company was employed to keep an eye on the trade zone, where hundreds of thousands of dollars of farm machinery and vehicles are arranged in the lead-up to the two-day show.

Security was being beefed up for last night.

Watson said it had been eight years since an overnight theft had been reported at the show. Laptops and a compressor had been taken by opportunist thieves back then.

Anyone with information, or who may have seen the motorbikes being loaded onto a vehicle on Seafield Road, is asked to contact police.

Mayfield residents’ water woes continue with the rural village now placed on level 4 water restrictions.

The Ashburton District Council imposed the hosing ban restriction yesterday following continued low water levels in the Mayfield bore.

Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said the restriction has been put in place to provide as much relief to the bore as possible.

“The Mayfield water supply has been under pressure for a while now, and as we move into another dry summer, it is critical that residents restrict their water use, particularly around their gardens,” he said.

Residents are being asked to use a bucket or watering can if they wish to water their plants because the use of hoses is banned.

The council will shortly begin a water metering pilot project in Mayfield to help identify issues and to find solutions to the ongoing supply problems.

“With the restrictions setting in, we encourage the Mayfield community to check their property for any leaking pipes or taps, and to get these fixed as soon as possible.

“Once the water metering project is working, council will be able to start helping residents determine if they have any water leaks that they may not be aware of,” McCann said.

The council will continue to monitor the Mayfield water supply and will advise the community of any changes.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Drummond and Etheridge wins top trade site award

By LiNda CLarke

Left - Best large trade site at the Ashburton A and P show was Drummond and Etheridge. Show president Chris Watson handed over the trophy to owner Peter Etheridge and his daughter Suzanne Wilson, with approval from immediate past president Lynette Lovett, Anna McGregor, Mike Kettley, Danny King and Baden McDowell.

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Peter Etheridge has had lots of practice building good-looking trade sites at the Ashburton A&P Show.

And it paid off yesterday when Drummond and Etheridge (better known as D&E) took home the Challenge Trophy for the best large trade site.

He said D&E was started in 1928 by his father and the business had been coming to A&P shows for more than 80 years. He was more than happy to accept the cup and winner’s ribbon from show president Chris Watson yesterday.

His daughter Suzanne Wilson said the win was a first for D&E, which was is expanding from vehicles and tractors to marine and outdoor vehicles.

The trade was an impressive scene of gleaming John Deere tractors, boats, jet skis and fourwheel-drive people movers and a host of smiling staff.

Wilson said the business had moved into marine gear five years ago and was moving the range and its new Polaris vehicles to Moore Street; that branch of the business would be rebranded as D&E Outdoors. The farm vehicles and tractors would remain on West Street.

The woodworkers won the Jack Irwin Cup for their efforts and the

silverware was presented by family member David Irwin.

Runner-up small site was Mid Canterbury Playcentre.

Around 120 businesses, most from Mid Canterbury, were part of the trade zone for the 139th show, which has the theme building diversity with town and country.

The trade sites were judged by immediate past president Lynette Lovett.

Lovett said the show committee was looking for people to help out on the Sunday as sites were disassembled and the showgrounds cleared. Eight members of the show committee had spent a full week preparing for the two-day show and any extra help at the end of the event was most welcome – helpers would be thanked with a barbecue meal.

■ ASHBURTON CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION

Stronger council voice expected Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Citizens’ Association believes the community will have a much stronger voice in how the Ashburton District is run with the new-look lineup of district councillors.

The organisation’s co-chairman Gordon Mockford said members believed the new team of elected members, several of whom are, or have been members of the citizens’ group, would be a valuable resource when it

tions, Mockford said.

“We felt some of the decisions made by the last council weren’t right and we feel it’s our role to keep an eye on the council.”

New councillors who have held citizens’ association office, such as secretary Diane Rawlinson, have now stepped back from those positions and those who are district councillors will not have voting rights at association meetings, he said.

There was some misconception about the role of the or-

came to getting the views of the community across to decision makers.

“At one stage the councillors and even the mayor weren’t taking any notice of us but we’ve got a higher profile now with seven new councillors around the table,” he said.

The citizens’ association’s role was to be a conduit between the community and the council and that role was made easier now there were people who had an understanding of both organisa-

ganisation – it was not a splinter group of council and had been formed by a group of residents who wanted the community to have a voice, Mockford said.

“We don’t want to stir trouble, that’s not our job. We know the council doesn’t have unlimited funds and it has to work within constraints. We believe we’re part of the dialogue, another lot of eyes in the community.”

For some people the association could be the bridge into council if they had issues or

messages they were not comfortable taking to council staff, he said.

While the new mayor had been involved with the association while she was a councillor, members accepted she had a new role now and a different job and had to remain apart from the organisation’s business.

“We don’t want to pressure her; she’s just one of a team of 13 people. It’s the same with the councillors, they have a much more responsible role now.”

Where have all the gulls gone? susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Where have the river gulls gone?

This is a question Forest and Bird Ashburton members are asking.

In 2014 a colony of over 10,000 black-billed gulls nested just downstream of the Ashburton River State Highway 1 bridge.

This season so far there are none, despite efforts to attract the birds by creating a shingle island for them to nest on.

In September, large numbers of the gulls congregated on the rooftop of Harvey Norman, casing out the nearby river.

It seems they did not like what they saw and did not settle there.

Forest and Bird Ashburton president Edith Smith said there was still time for them to settle there, as sometimes this did not happen until late October. However, she would like to see the shingle area made longer in future and stretch for about a kilometre, and a good flood come through to rid it of dead vegetation.

“They like to have a clear open area so they can see if there are predators around.”

She was not sure where they might be now, but up to 3000 had been at the Ashburton River mouth late last week, and a couple of hundred behind the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park. All of them

were “quite unsettled” and did not appear to be breeding as yet.

Gulls had also been seen at the Rangitata River mouth and she was not sure if they were the same ones.

There had been another group noticed at the Rakaia River mouth and sometimes they also nested in the upper reaches of the Rakaia Gorge.

The Ashburton River had been high and this, combined with a problem of overgrown lupins, had made the gulls unsettled to date.

ECan would soon be carrying out its annual aerial survey which would confirm where the gulls were nesting throughout Canterbury.

Black-billed gulls are a critically endangered species only existing in New Zealand and their only nesting habitat is braided rivers in the South Island. Other nesting locations include North Canterbury and Southland.

Smith said she was looking forward to Environment Canterbury releasing a new Ashburton River Habitat Plan.

“The river isn’t in a good state, but at least something positive is being done,” she said.

She urged anyone who knew where colonies of black-billed gulls were nesting in Mid Canterbury to phone her on 308-4440.

Black-billed gulls give consideration last week to nesting at the Ashburton River mouth.

People pour in

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

More people than usual poured through the gates on the first day of the Ashburton A&P Show yesterday, and there was plenty to entertain.

In the western corner of the grounds dog trials got under way early, as did equestrian events in all three rings inside the main arena.

The trade exhibits proved popular with some vendors reporting the busiest Friday morning ever.

A sea of high-vis vests could be seen with the majority of the district’s pre and primary schools taking advantage of the free children’s entry to show students the sights.

The Young Farmers farmyard animal shed was a popular attraction for the youngsters, as was the Ashburton Vintage Machinery Club display, where a number of rare tractors were on display.

Allenton Meat Centre proprietor Paddy Kennedy joined forces with Robbie’s Bar and Grill head chef Mike Miernicki to bone and cook a rack of lamb with a black currant sauce.

Today the stall will be manned by apprentices for each business.

Show president Chris Watson was pleased with the turnout and the fact the forecast southerly held off until the end of the day’s competition.

“The numbers aren’t in yet but I think we had a few more people through the gates than we usually get on Friday,” he said.

“Entries are up this year in the home industries shed and in the sheep and cattle classes.”

The theft of four motorbikes from two trade’s exhibits was the only aspect marring an otherwise great day, he said.

Today the best of the district’s livestock will be on show, along with highland dancing competitions, more equestrian events, and entertainment galore and at 2pm, the Grand Parade.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

An eye-opening experience Former Ashburton woman Kate Fogarty spent four weeks volunteering in one of the poorest parts of Malawi this year.

It was a rewarding experience, she tells reporter Linda Clarke.

M

alawi, in the heart of Africa, is one of the least developed countries in the world. The life expectancy is 55 and most people die from malaria or HIV-related illness.

It is here, in a small village called Nkope, that Kate Fogarty spent four weeks helping in a medical clinic. The former Ashburton policewoman has had a connection with the continent since 2006 and the visit earlier this year was the culmination of months of careful planning.

She arrived with a small bag containing her clothes and a much larger bag containing plasters, dressings and other basic medical equipment that Kiwis don’t think twice about putting in their supermarket trolley.

Kate, 56, was one of a group of volunteers living in a house operated by charity Naturally Africa on the shores of Lake Malawi near the village of Nkope. Her weekday routine was to assist at one of the many wound clinics the charity ran at the village and in its surrounding area.

Volunteers use their skills at nursery and primary schools or in the first aid clinics.

Kate, who now pilots coaches for tourists around the South Island, said she spent her time cleaning wounds, applying anti-bacterial creams and changing dressings.

The Malawians had no concept of wound care and cuts or bites quickly became infected, often to the point of amputation or death.

One girl presented at a clinic with battery acid burns after her family used that to treat an infected wound.

She said there were a lot of toe injuries (most ride bicycles), sores infected after being scratched by dirty fingernails, burns and ringworm or fungal infections.

Her afternoons were spent helping educate people about basic health and HIV prevention. Communication was assisted by villagers who spoke the local Chichewa dialect and English.

She said most were so poorly educated they did not know how their bodies worked, or how better nutrition could improve their lives.

To guard her own good health, Kate had several vaccinations, including hepatitis A, before she left.

She also took malaria tablets.

Her bag of medical supplies was gratefully received. She had plasters, scissors, tape and other basics

Malawians simply can’t afford.

While she paid her own airfare and accommodation costs at the charity house, friends and family pitched in with money and other donations of medical supplies.

Nkope has about 1000 houses, with a population of around 7000.

Bicycle is the main mode of transport and schools are often outdoor spaces under a tree. Fifty per cent of the the Malawi population are children and most of the country’s people live in rural villages with little electricity.

Kate said there was no need for resthomes as there were not many old people. “When we were doing our village survey we asked people their age and they replied with their year of birth. Not many people actually know their birthday.”

Maize is the main staple and meals consist of maize flour made into a mash; there are few vegetables and little meat. “The maize mash is called nsima, it is tasteless and fills their tummies, but it has no nutritional value.”

Kate said dishes and clothes were washed in nearby Lake Malawi, which was also a source of drinking water. With little electricity in the village, people were up at 6am and in bed by 7pm when the sun went down.

She said one of her afternoons was spent teaching locals CPR. Many drowned in the lake but they had no idea about how to revive someone.

The knowledge gap was big, but Naturally Africa does not want to change lives completely – just help make life a little easier.

Kate said volunteers played an important role and stayed for up to 12 weeks. Many were young Americans or Brits on their sum-

mer university holidays.

“It is a good experience for young people, for anyone really. If you are inbetween jobs, have some spare cash or are retired early, then volunteering is a real experience.

Malawi is a long way, but there are opportunities closer to home in the Pacific Islands.”

At the weekends, Kate and the other volunteers were able to explore other parts of the Malawi countryside, from game parks to lake resorts, which offered a

reprieve from the extreme poverty they saw on a daily basis.

Lake Malawi, described as The Lake of Stars, with its sparkling, crystal clear waters and golden sand beaches, is almost 30,000km2 and 700m at its deepest. The lake is nearly 20 per cent of Malawi’s total land area and is more like an inland sea.

The lake is also a lifeline for many rural communities, with numerous fishing villages dotting its shoreline.

But these communities, especially around Nkope, are among the poorest in Malawi. The vast majority rely on subsistence farming for their food and livelihood but declining fish populations, unreliable rainfall and occasional flash floods can often make it difficult for families to produce enough food for themselves alone.

4 – Kate Fogarty sets off with her wound clinic necessities – a straw mat and a bag of anti-bacterial creams and dressings.

Wall takes top female honours

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury was well represented at the 2016 Aoraki Secondary Schools’ Sports Awards in Timaru last night, while Ashburton College rower Veronica Wall once again received top honours.

Wall was the recipient of the

Female Sports Person of the Year gong after another impressive season on the water.

Following Canterbury and South Island titles, the Year 12 student added an unprecedented four Maadi Cup gold medals to her haul in April.

The 16-year-old took golds in

the girls’ under-16, under-17 and under-18 single sculls as well as a first place finish as part of the triumphant girls’ under-18 coxed quad.

Her string of dominant displays led to selection to the Junior Women’s Quad Scull that competed at the World Rowing Junior

Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands in August.

The New Zealand team, which also included Brylie Gordon, Claudia MacDonald and Jessica Turfrey, who finished behind Wall in second, third and fourth places respectively at Maadi, eventually placed fourth.

Wall also received the prestigious Jubilee Cup from the president of the Canterbury Rowing Association, Michael Schaper, at Ashburton College’s senior forum in May. It will be a tough year to top, but not many would doubt the rowing starlet in 2017.

Murph’s seal of approval for new Hampton Downs track The new section of the Hampton Downs race track has been given the big thumbs up from Kiwi racing legend Greg Murphy.

The new 1km addition to the North Waikato track has been

put through its paces for the first time yesterday as the Australian GT cars have completed their first official practice for the weekend’s Hampton Downs 101.

“I liked it in the road car stuff

that I have been doing ,” Murphy said. “I really like it.

“People are complaining about bumps and all sorts of stuff but I’m not really noticing it. It has a few bumps but it isn’t that bad.

“The shape of it is really good.

“The new turn two, three, four complex is quite tricky but in short very enjoyable to drive. It is quite technical.

“The bit which they call the

Double Bastard is really tricky but I actually find it quite challenging.

“The whole thing is amazing.

“It is awesome to drive in one of these cars. It is really suited to a GT car.”

■ AORAKI SPORTS AWARDS

In brief

Locals grab major honours It was an award-laden night for the Mid Canterbury contingent at the 2016 Aoraki Secondary Schools’ Sports Awards in Timaru last night.

Veronica Wall may have taken the most prestigious gong of the local recipients but others also received major awards.

Coach of the Year Justin Wall took Coach of the Year honours.

Wall’s dedication to Ashburton College rowing paid off this year with five of his crews reaching A Finals at the Maadi Cup, and they all finished on the podium.

Justin Wall

Aimee Elliott

Madeleine Evans

Female All Rounder of the Year The Female All Rounder of the Year went to Aimee Elliott.

Elliott has achieved at regional, national and international level across a range of sports in 2016.

In athletics she is the Aoraki 3000m champion and South Island runner-up in both the 3000m and 1500m.

The Mutt Hutt College student also holds two regional swim-

ming titles as well as finishing sixth in the national open water swim championships.

She was part of the Canterbury under-18 cross country team that were first at the Oceania Cross Country Championships.

Internationally she represented New Zealand in Spain at the World Duathlon Championships and in Mexico at the World Aquathon Championships were she finished second.

Team of the Year The 2016 Team of the Year award went to the under-18 Coxed Quad girls from Ashburton College.

Veronica Wall, Grace Wilson, Fran Connelly-Whyte, Lara Biggs and Emma Jansen are the reigning South Island Secondary Schools’ Maadi Cup 2016 Champions.

Ashburton College’s Madeleine Evans was acknowledged for her commitment to sport.

Evans is the head of the student sports committee and is a driving force behind getting students participating in sport.

This year her focus was to get more girls involved in sport.

She prepared a questionnaire and established opportunities for girls to be involved in exercise.

Promoters not prepared to become pariahs Joseph Parker’s promoters, frustrated with the messages coming from the government regarding assistance in funding the Kiwi heavyweight’s title fight in December, have withdrawn their application.

Duco Events’ David Higgins gave a thinly veiled swipe at MP Steven Joyce, and added that the company were in danger of become “pariahs” had they continued.

“We have studied the reaction

An audit by the US Government Accountability Office revealed that a 2013 golf trip taken by President Obama to play with Tiger Woods in Florida cost taxpayers $NZ5.1m.

Obama, who has unsurprisingly taken some flak for being a golfing president, received instruction from Butch Harmon, Woods’ former coach. “The audit said the costs included operation of Air Force One, at about $200,000 per hour of flight, plus a virtual squadron of ‘supporting aircraft and Coast Guard small boats’, as well as travel expenses for an unspecified number of security personnel required to support the president’s golf weekend,” the Washington Times reported.

of the public and the media and the politicians and it’s clear it has become political dynamite, a real political football,” Higgins said.

“We’re aware our business does rely on goodwill.

“We’re selling tickets, we’re selling pay per view television, we rely on the public and that goodwill is important, we do not take it for granted.

“It’s a shame to see it’s become divisive. It should be celebrating a landmark New Zealand sporting achievement and also New

Zealand’s event capability.”

Duco Events wanted to enter into a relationship where they would show content advertising the possibilities New Zealand had to offer the millions of viewers around the world watching the fight against Andy Ruiz Jr on December 10.

Instead, they have decided to cut their losses and go it alone, with the negative comments about the pay per view aspect of the broadcast in particular touching a nerve.

Higgins said: “Just looking at

all the comments, there were a lot of haters and we’re not prepared to become pariahs in our own country.

“We would still have had to charge for pay per view TV. “As soon as we charged for TV there would be a large section of New Zealand society that would have us for breakfast.”

The pair said they were still committed to finding a way to hold the fight in New Zealand in order to give 24-year-old Parker his best possible chance of winning.

From the outright lead to scraping inside the top 20 for Steven Alker in the first round of the PGA Tour’s event in Mississippi. The Kiwi golfer was sitting pretty at six-under through 13 holes atop the leaderboard before three bogeys in his last five holes saw him slump to three under for the round. Alker is in a share of 19th as it stands, four shots off the pace set by Irishman Seamus Power.

T20-style netball New Zealand are the defending champions and Australia is the in-form team, but it’s the unpredictability of Fast 5s netball which could see any of the six nations lining up for short-form honours take out the title in Melbourne this weekend. Vying to overcome the traditional trans-Tasman powerhouses are England, South Africa, Jamaica and underdogs Malawi in netball’s version of T20 cricket. New Zealand has won five out of the last six tournaments.

Steyn in cotton wool South African pace ace Dale Steyn has been wrapped in cotton wool ahead of the three-Test series against Australia starting next week. The 33-year-old fast bowler won’t bowl on the second and final day of the tour match against a South Australian XI in Adelaide.

Steyn and tearaway quick Kagiso Rabada will sit out the Proteas’ last game before the Test series starts next Thursday in Perth.

■ HALF MARATHON BID

■ MOTOR RACING

Oh my, the pain . . .

Mad Max adds flair to F1 circus

P

anic – that is the word that comes to mind thinking of my long run last weekend.

I am panicking.

And I feel broken.

I was supposed to run 16km, however, I had to abort my run because of a sharp pain in my right knee.

I don’t know if you remember, I mentioned this pain a few weeks ago when I ran 11km.

I didn’t feel it again after that but last Saturday the pain was back.

I know the main reason behind it is my bad form due to fatigue.

My legs are tired (and my thighs probably not strong enough yet) so I don’t run properly and, after a while, my right knee let go.

I could possibly have kept running with the pain, but I decided not to (and my pain tolerance is not the best).

As I am only training, I don’t want to injure myself badly for no real reason.

What am I going to do if this happens on race day?

I have been thinking about it all week and I am just praying it doesn’t happen then and if it does, I guess the adrenalin of the event will keep me going.

Here’s hoping!

I have also been experiencing a pain in my left calf for a few days and it won’t go away.

It is annoying, really annoying.

I thought I’ll get rid of it by running a short run with Kirsty, but it didn’t help. Arghhh.

So I took the bull by the horns and booked myself with my physio to see if she could help.

She is a great physio, but on Thursday she made me go through hell – but it’s all for a good cause.

EMMA ON THE RUN

She first dealt with my knee.

Trying to figure out where it was sensitive, she started pressing all around my right knee and I got a sharp pain where it hurt during my run.

She then gave me a massage and, oh my, it was agony.

She “tortured” me for what felt like an eternity (probably 5-10min if I am being honest).

I could barely handle the pain and she was only massaging it.

Then she tackled my calves and told me they were incredibly tight.

It’s not something that you would know, however since it’s been pointed out this week, I’ve been really feeling them.

I have actually felt the urge to strengthen them randomly throughout the day.

My physio massaged them to remove some of the tightness.

Oh my, it was as awful as the knee massage.

I couldn’t keep still, the pain was so bad.

OK, I must admit I am a chicken and I am not good with pain.

Probably most of you would have handled it better, but I didn’t know you could feel so much agony with a massage.

Aren’t massages supposed to be nice?

I thought so before this one!

After last week’s failed run with a sore knee, my tight calves for the past five days and general body tiredness, I just want to scream.

And give up.

I won’t give up, I’m not like that, but I have screamed (in my head).

It is so hard to keep going when you are struggling.

■ SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Special Olympians impress at SI regionals

By Colin engelBreCht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton’s Special Olympics Swimming Team were in fine form at the recent South Island Regionals.

The competition took place in Greymouth and brought swimmers from Canterbury to Nelson together.

Five local swimmers, Peter Testa, Evelyn Haines, Emma Woods, Mark Rushton and Trevor Nish participated and Special Olympics president Colleen Lindsay was pleased with the turnout for the event.

Lindsay said all of the Ashburton swimmers made placings, however, Evelyn Haines – who competed despite suffering a broken foot – was awarded a special prize for sportsmanship.

Lindsay said the competition was more about participation rather than winning, with all involved receiving plenty of support throughout.

Right – Ashburton’s Special Olympians Emma Woods, Evelyn Haines, Peter Testa, Mark Rushton and Trevor Nish donned a new kit at the regionals.

By Jim Vertuno It’s been a wild season for young Max Verstappen.

The talented Dutch teenager has been promoted to Red Bull, become the youngest winner in Formula One history and bickered with some of the top teams and drivers in the sport.

His aggressive tactics have even prompted a rules clarification for safety.

“Mad Max” is brash, won’t be intimidated and to many, he’s a much-needed dose of excitement for Formula One. The kid seized on his chance to be fast and famous and won’t let go.

“Why wait?” Verstappen said.

“I have a great car, a great team, and I want it all as quickly as possible.”

Verstappen is squeezing everything he can into this season as Formula One races this week in Mexico City.

At the US Grand Prix, Verstappen provided days of drama worthy of a 19-year-old still learning how to navigate a grown-up sport.

The teams had barely left Japan when Mercedes considered, then opted not to file a complaint over his defensive moves against Lewis Hamilton in a braking zone.

Verstappen finished second and Hamilton’s third-place finish pushed him further back in the 2016 title chase.

By the time drivers got to Austin, several used their Friday meeting to complain about their precocious rival.

Having heard similar comments several times this season, Formula One officials issued a rule clarification: blocking during braking would be deemed illegal and punished.

It took about 10 minutes for the media to call it the “Verstappen Rule”.

He shrugged.

“Maybe they can get past (me), now,” Verstappen said.

Sun shines on athletes

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

More than 270 students from Rakaia School and Dorie School sweated in the sun on Thursday for Rakaia’s annual athletics day.

Dorie School competed alongside the Rakaia School students as they took part in shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, sprints, long distance and even a sack race.

Rakaia School principal Mark Ellis said the school’s five- to 13-year-olds enjoyed the sun and it was perfect weather, particularly because they had to move the athletics day from Wednesday to

Rakaia School year two and three teacher Emma Kelly said the school wanted to make sure everyone had a good time.

Hampstead School also took advantage of the good weather and held their athletics day on Thursday as well.

■ OPINION

Sport can be a very fickle affair indeed T

he fickleness of sport.

Early in the season, Mid Canterbury Hammers looked odds-on to be Meads Cup contenders, but somewhere along the way the hot-steppers lost their magic, that steady stream of good ball from the forwards had dried up, and last weekend they ignominiously dropped out of Lochore Cup contention.

It happens at all levels.

At Eden Park last Saturday night, the massive underdog Aussies pushed the All Blacks, and hard, for a long time.

If that try had have been awarded (and it should have) who knows what might have happened?

Breaking the world record testwinning streak may have again eluded the men in black.

Even that record is surely fickle.

It includes wins against those world rugby powerhouses Namibia, Georgia and Tonga – so does it still really count?

But cricket, now there’s the most fickle game of all.

So cruel if you’re a batsman; one tiny nick early in your innings and you’re back in the pavilion, still dreaming of that elusive century.

The catches put down by the safest of hands – it happens, ask Ross Taylor – and you’re forced to watch to score a match-winning total, say like 154.

The Black Caps appear to be on the verge of making history, all they have to do is knock over India in the deciding match tonight, how difficult could that be?

It’s been an odd series; early on the Indians were world-class unbeatable, including suddenly becoming the fielding kings.

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

That was a revelation; India haven’t been noted for having a Jonty Rhodes or a Chris Harris in their ranks to spark super stuff in the outfield, but in the first game there were about seven Jontys out there.

In the second ODI MS Dhoni uncharacteristically mis-judged a run chase, in the third Dhoni and Virat Kohli did what our batsmen couldn’t, go on from starts and score big ones, and in the fourth match the Black Caps defended a handy total.

But therein lies the differ-

ence between the sides; the New Zealand total should have been massive after their very solid start, and it wasn’t.

Again, a batting collapse in the middle order.

Don’t we have a high-profile batting coach?

Why does the same thing happen game after game?

When our top guys get a start they score a very nice 72.

When their top guys get a start they score a very nice 154.

The Black Caps dodged a bullet on Wednesday night; to complete a notable series victory they need more than a fine opening knock from Tom Latham and a tidy score from the skipper, every single batsman needs to find some runs to help the cause, otherwise we’ll be back to our usual oh-soclose, could-have and shouldhave but didn’t.

And so it begins.

The Kiwis are about to embark on their biggest challenge since the 2013 World Cup, and success is far from guaranteed in the Four Nations.

Though New Zealand still hold the No 1 ranking, it’s a crown that has slipped a bit in the past 12 months, with four losses in their last five tests against England and Australia.

There were mitigating factors for most of those defeats, as they took a depleted side to England last year and were also without a number of key men in May. But there is no doubt the Kiwis have not regained the mix of verve and brutality they displayed in their Four Nations triumph of 2014, as well as the historic Anzac test win a year later in Brisbane.

Meanwhile, the Kangaroos have bounced back, re-engineered under Mal Meninga into a much more combative side, while England got an invaluable boost with their 2-1 series win over New Zealand last year.

It sets up an intriguing series, which kicks off with Australia versus Scotland and climaxes at Anfield four weeks later.

The draw has not been kind to the Kiwis, who have the toughest road to the final.

They face England first up on Sunday in a match which will define their tournament, then take on Australia seven days later.

The Kangaroos, in contrast, can ease into the campaign against the Scots, while the English get a fortnight between matches with their major rivals.

If the forwards can achieve dominance, or even parity, then Shaun Johnson is the wildcard.

Whether he likes it or not, Johnson is fundamental to New Zealand success.

He was brilliant in the 2014 Four Nations tournament, with a series of displays that gained him the Golden Boot, and needs to recapture that level.

In brief

Old Golds underdogs

Clash of the Crusaders

By CampBell Burnes This all-Crusaders Premiership final could be billed as the ‘Battle of the broken bones’.

There will be more strapping than usual as Canterbury lock Dominic Bird suits up with a broken foot, in the best traditions of Richie McCaw, while Tasman hooker Andrew Makalio and talismanic departing No 10 Marty Banks will both play with fractured hands.

Banks then heads to Treviso to further his extraordinary career.

The Makos would doubtless all be prepared to play with breakages if it meant they could annex their first top level provincial title in their 11th season of existence.

They are the form team, with seven consecutive victories, the comers who gave a solid account of themselves in the 2014 final before falling to Taranaki.

They have an effective and all-purpose pack, impact off the bench via the likes of All Black Kane Hames and David Havili, and the trump card in Banks.

All that package is marshalled by the astute coaching duo of Leon MacDonald and Mark Hammett, who have won the tactical battle in most games in 2016.

Replacement lock Paripari Parkinson was running around 12 months ago for St Kentigern College in Auckland’s 1A First XV competition but has impressed all.

For all the positives from the Makos’ season, their pedigree

shifts out to centre.

His older brother Scott did not receive such dispensation, but it will not unduly disadvantage the home side.

“I could not be more proud of this 2016 Canterbury team and all that they have achieved.

“Nine wins from 11 games so far, a top of the table placing, the Ranfurly Shield, and just one last prize to try and claim on Saturday night.

“This challenge will be our biggest one yet, but I know that this team has the talent and the heart to face it,” says Robertson, who, it seems, is unlikely to bow out with his breakdance routine should Canterbury get up.

Tasman’s heavy 45-14 defeat to Canterbury early in this Mitre 10 Cup carries little relevance now.

Johnny McNicholl may be playing his final game for Canterbury today.

cannot match that of Canterbury, who are primed for an eighth provincial crown in nine seasons.

Do that, and they would trump even the great Auckland sides of 1987-96, who won eight out of 10 titles, two runs of four split by Otago and Waikato victories.

That 1987-90 Auckland team is fit to rank as the greatest provincial juggernaut the world has ever seen, but Scott Robertson’s charges have carved out an imposing record without access to much of their best talent on All Blacks duty.

Fullback Johnny McNicholl plays his 60th and possibly final game for Canterbury before he heads to the Scarlets in Wales, while Robertson himself moves up to the Crusaders after overseeing the 2013 and 2015 Canterbury triumphs.

Centre Jack Goodhue is out with a hamstring tear, so Rob Thompson, freshly named as a Maori All Black injury replacement, comes into No 12 and Jordie Barrett, happily allowed to play before joining the All Blacks to hold the tackle shields,

Canterbury: Johnny McNicholl, Nathan Earle, Jordie Barrett, Rob Thompson, George Bridge, Richie Mo’unga, Ere Enari, Luke Whitelock (c), Tom Sanders, Reed Prinsep, Dominic Bird, Dave McDuling, Siate Tokolahi, Ben Funnell, Daniel LienertBrown; Reserves: Nathan Vella, Alex Hodgman, Oli Jager, Jed Brown, Billy Harmon, Jack Stratton, Inga Finau, Ben Volavola.

lock in missing the first test of their four-leg northern hemisphere tour following the head knock suffered during Saturday’s 37-10 win over Australia.

Whitelock is sidelined for 3-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain,

meaning the All Blacks will lose 139 caps worth of experience against the Irish.

Luke Romano and Patrick Tuipulotu, who have both made sporadic appearances this year, are expected to start.

No disrespect says Thorn Former All Black Brad Thorn has scoffed at Michael Cheika’s claim that the world champions disrespected the Wallabies last week, saying that respect is the cornerstone of the All Blacks success.

“We always worked very hard on that because in any sport if you don’t respect your opponents you are due for a beating,” the 59-Test veteran said. Following Saturday’s defeat Cheika took aim at the NZ Herald over being depicted as a clown and then claimed the All Blacks did not respect the Wallabies.

There is just one certain outcome for today’s Lochore Cup final in Te Kuiti. The final scoreline will not read 4-4 as it was for the regular season clash between the same teams at the same ground. Extra time will be used to break any fulltime stalemate. The Rams enter as favourites as they were sixth placed qualifiers, as opposed to North Otago, who just scraped in, in eighth position. But the Old Golds turned it on in Ashburton for the semi-final, defeating Mid Canterbury 36-24, a rare win at the home of the Hammers. - NZME

Scott Barrett, who was named as injury cover for the tour, will be on the reserves bench if the selectors want specialist lock backup in Chicago. The injuries mean Wellington’s Vaea Fifita will travel with the squad.

All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara has extended his contract with New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes until the end of next year. Perenara, who has earned 26 caps since making his debut against England in 2014, confirmed his signing on Twitter. “Pumped to announce I’ve signed to be of the @hurricanesrugby and @nzrugbyunion family for 1 more year. Looking forward to the challenges ahead,” he tweeted.

- NZME

Larkham steps up Stephen Larkham’s grooming as a future Wallabies coach has taken another step with his decision to accept a full-time role with the national side. Larkham will depart as Brumbies head coach after next year’s Super Rugby season to become a full-time Wallabies assistant coach. The 102-cap former Wallabies playmaker has agreed to a three-year deal, keeping him in the national set-up until at least the end of the 2019 World Cup in Japan.

■ SACRED ELIXIR

Purton out to use ace draw Tony Pike believes he has the number one contender for today’s $A1.5 million Gr.1 VRC Derby and he got the barrier draw to match with Sacred Elixir to jump from the ace draw.

For the affable Cambridge trainer, it was another part of the Flemington puzzle slotted into place with his three-yearold boasting a form line to match

M2

his condition and now the inside gate to launch his victory bid.

“The draw wasn’t so much of a concern over 2500 metres, we had thought five or six would have been ideal so we’re in a bit closer,” Pike said.

It is now up to the Hong Kongbased Australian jockey Zac Purton to give the Sacred Elixir camp their second success at top level.

He won the Gr.1 J.J. Atkins Stakes aboard the Raffles Racingowned Sacred Elixir during the Queensland winter carnival and with Purton always having first claim on the Derby ride he replaces Damian Lane.

“Zac knows the horse well and he’s an internationally successful jockey so he can now map out a plan,” Pike said. “It’s a shame for

Damian, who has done a good job, but he knew the situation.”

Lane won both the Gr.3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude and the Gr.2 Vase Stakes aboard Sacred Elixir, who finished eighth in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas.

Pike is putting his faith in Sacred Elixir’s staying pedigree to get the son of Pour Moi home at the head of the Derby field. - AAP

New NZR roles a good move James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

N

ew Zealand Rugby announced the appointments of Eleanor Butterworth as respect & responsibility project manager and Joe Harawira as RugbySmart manager on Thursday.

Butterworth will lead NZR’s programme to enhance the skills and knowledge of healthy relationships throughout the game.

She brings experience in leading community, family and sexual violence prevention, education and development programmes.

She is also the agency manager for Wellington Rape Crisis.

In addition to the appointment of the respect & responsibility project manager, Joe Harawira has recently joined NZR as RugbySmart manager.

His duties will include targeting safety initiatives aimed at coaches, referees and players, as well as a tailored programme with an emphasis on respectful relationships, including consent, sexual assault and violence prevention.

Many will be quick to question the timing of these appointments considering recent events.

NZR was criticised for the way the Chiefs “strippergate” incident was dealt with, followed by the handling of the Losi Filipo assault case.

Aaron Smith then heaped more embarrassment on NZR after a disabled bathroom tryst with a woman at Christchurch airport.

It was then revealed that a Mid Canterbury player was arrested on October 2 and charged with assault with intent to commit rape.

Clearly it has been identified that the ways of old within rugby are hurtful to the game and NZR should be commended for this.

The endeavour to not only deal with issues after they arise, but educate and promote a more wholesome approach at all levels will improve the game’s reputation and its culture, too.

As we continue to grow as a society and become more tolerant and respectful of others, it is pleasing to see NZR are taking the right steps.

Hopefully one day the culture of rugby off the field can reflect the vast achievements on it.

Bad housing I read with disgust the article on the couple in dire need of a roof over their heads in Friday’s Guardian and resolved to pen some strong feelings on the matter as soon as I’d finished my morning’s read, only to find that Sue [Newman] had done just that.

I presume the party who rented out the property can read and if he can find the money to purchase a paper, I hope he can walk the streets and sleep soundly at night.

You are a disgrace to those who own homes that they rent out and rent out with the knowledge that they have satisfied tenants who are warm and dry.

There is not enough done in the rental area to maintain a reasonable amount of accountability with people like this who grab at the chance to rip vunerable folks off without spending a penny towards renting out their properties.

We don’t want people like you here.

You are a disgrace both to yourself and anyone who has the misfortune to have anything to do with you.

Is the silly season early this year?

T

hat period of the year known as “the silly season” normally takes in just the summer holidays, straddling a few weeks when for everyone “normal service” is suspended.

Our politicians, in particular, suddenly make themselves very scarce.

The days, traditionally – though they often fail to live up to such expectations – are both “hazy” and “lazy”, and we enjoy a time of R&R untroubled by what may be going on in the outside world.

In Canterbury, show day in November, when a number of very silly hats are on display and young bucks make fools of themselves, might be considered the opening day of this season.

Silliness is certainly in the air, responsibility goes out the window and the shackles are loosened. They are heady days, often very sore-headed, but problems are at least temporarily forgotten.

The media have to re-double their efforts to make the traditional mountains out of molehills, as the number of the former are as often in short supply as the latter super abundant. Those molehills simply have to be upmarketed and inflated, so filling the space reserved for Everests at other times of the year.

One of the most popular sources for such light-headed-

Nick Lindo

EYE ON POLITICS

ness is sport.

Thus the recent event at Christchurch airport involving a “convenience facility”, a uniformed All Black en route to a match in Australia and an irritated snooper, has gobbled up many, many centimetres of column space in newspapers far and wide, while a similar number of online outlets have become saturated with it.

Morals have been drawn as to the responsibility of All Blacks, particularly when wearing the precious jersey, to uphold their position of role models, permanently on their pedestals from which they should have a clearer view of how, always, to behave.

For some, the AB concerned is a trail-blazer, to others a disgrace. The great thing is that this incident fits neatly into the blossoming silly season. The media and their mates, the bloggers, could not be happier.

Then, closely related, we find the much-publicised Australian rugby coach, the oft-aggrieved, swarthy, Michael Cheika, indulg-

ing in a rant over how he was portrayed as a clown – complete with a red bobble on the end of his nose – in press coverage before last Saturday’s match at Eden Park.

In after-match comment he labelled such a cartoon as disrespectful and was generally unhappy over the way he had been treated while in this country.

Now a rant can be seen as an ill-tempered tirade for which a local audience has only contempt, while to others it may be a perfectly justifiable, if stronglyheld, opinion. As for disrespectful, that is another word currently doing the rounds, which fits well with today’s mania for political correctness.

Mr Cheika may well feel it was disrespectful to see himself displayed as a clown. Daringly, one might just wonder what the effect might have been on this side of the Tasman of a similarly “disrespectful” creation, thinly disguised as the hero of the Christchurch convenience event, on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald, leading the prematch haka.

It turns out, too, that the Wallaby coach also had quite reasonable doubts about several of the tries awarded to the All Blacks at Eden Park which, had they not been, would have made for a much closer result.

That again was all grist to the

silly season mill and commentators far and wide have had a field day, in which they are still revelling.

Meanwhile, our illustrious prime minister has been embarrassingly delayed in Townsville on his way to India by a mechanical failure of an ageing Boeing 757 belonging to the air force.

Twice the old warrior attempted to lumber into the air, twice it failed to get airborne and the flight was aborted.

“Comedy of Errors” chortle the day’s headlines, the PM’s discomfort much magnified and the comments of the members of his large accompanying delegation gleefully publicised. A non-life-threatening stranding of the prime minister has also to be up there with all the other media moments now being given excessive air-time.

Of course, not every world event can be labelled silly, but some, such as the ludicrous antics of Donald Trump in America and the barbaric behaviour of presidents Assad and Putin in Syria, have now been with us for so long they have become routine and, sadly, as far as Syria is concerned, bring no more than a resigned shrug of the shoulders.

So, stand by for more of the frivolous and fanciful in the weeks ahead.

It will be Christmas before you know it.

■ FONTERRA UPDATE

Milk drop impact assessed Fonterra Co-operative Group is assessing the impact of a big drop in milk production this month on its contract book and future production plans.

In its latest global dairy update, the world’s biggest dairy exporter said daily milk volumes across the central and upper North Island were down significantly in the early part of October due to the impact of wetter than normal spring weather and this has continued, particularly in the key dairying region of Waikato where daily milk volumes are down around 14 per cent compared to last year.

Given that milk collections are now at the peak of the season, they are not expected to recover and will flow into the balance of

the season, it said.

In September, Fonterra said New Zealand milk collection dropped 2 per cent while in Australia it was down 9 per cent.

Season to date figures indicate a 2.9 per cent drop in milk production compared to last year, with a 4.9 per cent decline in the North Island, and a 13 per cent drop in Australia.

As a result, the cooperative’s forecast offer volumes on the GlobalDairyTrade auction over the next year has been decreased by 11,199 tonnes. That means Fonterra has dropped GDT offer volumes by 55,481 tonnes since August.

Fonterra’s forecast milk volume for the 2016/2017 season has been reduced further to 1.46

Key decisions on KiwiSaver K

iwiSaver has been prominent in the media recently as it nears its 10th anniversary. Over that period it has grown to over $35 billion in funds under management, with 2.6 million members.

Based on recent population figures, perhaps another 600,000 working age New Zealanders are yet to sign up for KiwiSaver (figures courtesy of KiwiSaver Annual Market Report 2016 by David Chaplin).

In my view there are four key decisions to make with regard to KiwiSaver:

But in the US production increased 2 per cent in September compared with the same month the previous year with farmers responding to favourable weather and grain prices. Milk production for the September year is up 1 per cent on the prior year. The US Department of Agriculture’s forecast milk production for 2016 is up 1.7 per cent on last year as cow numbers have steadied as a result of likely better returns.

On the export side, total New Zealand dairy exports in August dropped 5 per cent on the prior year, although they’re up 6 per cent in the August year due to increases in fluid and fresh dairy, up 41 per cent, and AMF and cheese offsetting falls in whole milk powder.

Should I sign up to KiwiSaver or not?

How much should I contribute?

Who should I sign up with?

What investment option should I take?

1. Signing up to KiwiSaver will depend on an individual’s own set of circumstances, but generally, it makes financial sense for all employees to sign up due to the matching of contributions by their employer to a certain level, and the government contribution.

For the self-employed, there is still a financial incentive due to the government contribution at minimum levels, but the advantage is not as great. KiwiSaver is a means to initiate a regular savings discipline for retirement, which for many is lacking. Other than for a first home, generally accessing those savings can’t be done until age 65 (or at least five years, if you joined over the age of 60).

Overall, it makes sense for most individuals to be in KiwiSaver at some level.

2. Although the $1000 kick start payment by the Government was removed in April 2015, the Government still contributes 50 cents for every $1 contrib-

uted, up to $20 per week.

If your contributions are being matched by your employer, then on the first $20 per week you contribute, your return equates to a guaranteed 150 per cent ($30 for every $20 contributed per week), excluding any investment return.

This is about as close to a free lunch as you can get in investment terms. As an employee you can choose to contribute 3, 4 or 8 per cent of gross salary or wages. If self-employed, you can make voluntary contributions at any time, either regular or lump sum contributions.

Calculators on KiwiSaver provider websites such as Summer KiwiSaver’s at www.summer. co.nz, or others such as the government’s www.sorted.org. nz, are available to estimate how much savings might grow to over time, and assist in planning for retirement.

In terms of what level of contribution to make, at least contributing the minimum would ensure you receive full entitlement to the government and employer (if employed) contributions.

3. Of the current KiwiSaver providers, two KiwiSaver schemes manage more than $5 billion in assets while another eight manage over $1 billion. Together these schemes represent nearly 87 per cent of members.

Eight schemes are default providers, which mean those employers, and KiwiSaver members who have not chosen a specific provider, get allocated one of the default providers.

Bank schemes dominate the space, and switching between schemes is common place and easy to do. As individual KiwiSaver balances grow, those providers who are able to provide advice and assistance to investors are likely to pick up more business.

Rather than being allocated a default provider, employers may see real benefit for their staff and business by choosing providers who offer advice and assistance.

Whilst media reports focus on low fees and the highest returns as a means to select providers, this is a bit of a red herring, as returns are driven more from which underlying types of assets the KiwiSaver funds are actually invested in.

4. The investment option decision is arguably the most crucial decision to make, and will have the biggest impact on the end result achieved come retirement.

Going in to a default option, ie not making a decision at all is probably the worst thing you can do.

As a general guide, the longer you have before retirement, the higher the level of risk you can afford to take, as growth assets have much more time to recover from any significant downturn.

It is worth taking the time to make the most of KiwiSaver, regardless of whether you are an employer, employee or selfemployed.

If needed, seek advice.

Driver dies in inferno A bus driver has been killed in Brisbane after a passenger boarded the vehicle and “set him on fire”, police allege.

The passenger allegedly doused him in a flammable liquid then set him alight. It did not appear to be terrorismrelated.

Queensland Superintendent Jim Keogh told reporters: “There is no apparent motive.

We’re not alleging robbery – this is the senseless, needless taking of a life going about supporting the community by providing transport.”

A 48-year-old man was taken into custody.

Keogh said he was “compliant” with officers who aided the arrest.

A homicide inquiry was under way, he said.

“The bus pulled in for the purpose of picking up passengers at the stop, there were six people on board at the time,” he said.

“It was at that time that one of the passengers boarding the bus entered the bus, poured a

The burnt bus is cordoned off in a Brisbane street. flammable liquid on the driver and was set alight.”

Asked if there was any suggestion the two men knew each other, Keogh said there was nothing to suggest a connection.

“It would appear random.”

Six “deeply traumatised” passengers have been taken to hospital to be assessed, mainly for minor injuries like smoke

inhalation. They were lucky to escape with their lives from the “substantial” fire.

A taxi driver said he busted down the back door of the bus to allow passengers to escape the inferno.

Aguek Nyok, a local cab driver that had stopped to get a haircut, said he saw the bus erupt into flames.

“Literally as I pulled up I saw

and heard the front of the bus explode and a guy ran out and he was covered in flames, head to toe,” he said.

“All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn’t get out the front because of the flames.”

Clair Savage saw Mr Nyok bash down the door.

Ms Savage said she saw the bus pull up and saw people screaming for help inside.

She ran out and saw Nyok repeatedly bashing the door to give way to panicked passengers.

Brisbane’s Yellow Cab company have confirmed the cab driver, Nyok, is a part of their fleet, and “are not surprised” by his heroic actions.

“I agree with the police that he’s a hero,” said Yellow Cab general manager Bill Parker.

He said the company’s specific cab driver first aid training was crucial to drivers’ development.

“They have saved people’s lives in the past but nothing as horrific as this.”

■ RUSSIA

Troops build up as tension flares in flashpoint A tiny Russian “exclave” bordered by Poland and Lithuania could become the latest flashpoint amid rising tensions with Europe and the US, as a military build-up intensifies.

Kaliningrad Oblast is a 15,000 square kilometre area of Russia home to its Baltic naval fleet. It’s one of three main naval bases for the country along with others in Crimea and Syr-

ia, sparking fears as tensions between Russia and the West reach their highest point since the Cold War. Russia has recently parked nuclear-capable Iskander mis-

siles in Kaliningrad, rattling the nerves of neighbours.

This week the NATO hit back with a huge escalation of their own forces including tanks, troops and fighter planes. - PA

Beyonce ‘tolerates’ Kim Beyoncé has “never genuinely liked” Kim Kardashian West. The singer and the reality star have appeared to be close friends for years, but sources now claim the popstar only “tolerates” Kim because of their mutual friends. A source told the New York Post: “Beyoncé has never genuinely liked Kim. She’s mostly tolerated her because of their husbands’ friendship. She is always a little icy to Kim. They always have lots of awkward pauses when they speak.”

Always looking her best She’s the queen who wants to be seen - so what is Heidi going to wear this Halloween? It takes imagination, lots of money and great confidence to be able to wear whatever you like. However, this has always seemed to come easy for supermodel Heidi Klum. The Project Runway star always hosts a lavish annual Halloween party so she needs to look the very best. Klum has almost done it all when it comes to acing her look each year ... so what has she got in store for 2016?
