Hello Kitty not a cat

Hello Kitty is not a cat, the company behind Japan’s global icon of cute insisted yesterday, despite an uproar from internet users who spluttered: “But she’s got whiskers!” The moon-faced creation that adorns everything from pencil cases to pyjamas the world over is, in fact, human. “Hello Kitty is a cheerful and happy little girl with a heart of gold,” brand owner Sanrio says on its website. The shocking revelation came to light when a Hawaii-based academic asked Sanrio to factcheck captions for an exhibition she was curating to mark the 40th anniversary of Hello Kitty.

Brad, Angelina tie knot in ‘family affair’ Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now husband and wife, after a wedding in France described as a “family affair”. The Oscar winners were married by a US judge at the weekend in a small chapel at Chateau Miraval in the southern French village of Correns, a spokeswoman for the couple said. Jolie was walked down the aisle by her eldest sons Maddox and Pax. Her daughters Zahara and Vivienne threw petals, while the couple’s other two children Shiloh and Knox were the ring bearers. “It was very much a family affair,” the spokeswoman said. Yesterday, Pitt was photographed wearing a gold band on his left ring finger during an event in Britain.

Sylvester’s bookish bent Tartt’s things up Returning to New Zealand Fashion Week after a five-year hiatus, fashion designer Kate Sylvester closed three days of trade shows with a collection representing the reasons behind the ongoing success of her brand. The designer presented a range inspired by author Donna Tartt, with a focus on shirting, billowy greatcoats, A-line midis and male models in womenswear – referencing the menswear roots of the collection, and its inspiration, Tartt’s novel The Secret History. It furthers the designer’s ongoing literary obsession, with her current in-store collection inspired by Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries. On Monday night, Sylvester officially opened Fashion Week with a rousing speech that threw down the gauntlet to the Government to support the new generation of creative talent as today’s established brands once were. “There’s more to New Zealand than mutton and milk.” Meanwhile, the New Zealand Fashion Weekend opens today.

■ NORTHPARK RAIL CROSSING

$300,000 fineprint windfall By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s win in securing about $300,000 worth of free railway crossing upgrade work could send other local authorities around New Zealand searching their archives for hidden clauses in historic documents. This week the council had the installation of barrier arms at the Northpark Road rail crossing approved by KiwiRail and it discovered that the New

Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) would foot the bill. Not only will the association foot that bill, but it will also pay for the warning bells and lights that are currently being installed. The fineprint of the deal was contained in a Deed of Grant document signed in 2007 by a district councillor and senior council staff member and then filed in the office archives of the council engineer of the day. Since that time the signatories, the engineer and any staff in-

volved with the deed have left or retired. Among the 14 clauses relating to level crossing traffic movements at both Northpark Road and Works Road, Clause six stated: “If any work needs to be done the grantee (the council) should bear the cost.” It wasn’t until council chief executive Andrew Dalziel and mayor Angus McKay met with KiwiRail to put the case for work on the crossing to be upgraded to barrier arm status, that the historic clause saw the

light of day and its implications were realised. When historic paperwork relating to the crossing was laid out, both parties were surprised at what they found, council service delivery manager Neil McCann said. The deed was signed by both the council and KiwiRail and while the NZTA would ultimately bear the cost of any upgrade work, it was not a signatory, he said. “I find that quite interesting because obviously it has huge

consequences for them, they’re the ones who’re up for the funding.” The outcome of the Ashburton Deed of Grant could have implications for other councils around New Zealand who wanted rail crossings upgraded, Mr McCann said. Earlier approaches by the council to KiwiRail requesting barrier arms indicated the crossing was well down the priority list of 124 crossings of which only eight to 10 were upgraded each year.

■ FARM ROAD FIRE

Clothes drying in front of heater cause fire By eriN TaSker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Clothes left drying by a gas heater were behind a house fire which left an Ashburton man with few belongings to his name yesterday morning. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to the old weatherboard house, on the corner of Farm Road and Carters Road, shortly after 8am and found the fire was well involved on arrival. Ashburton’s chief fire officer Alan Burgess said the fire had started in a room which looked like it was a spare bedroom, largely used for storage. “It looks very much like it’s come from a heater that I understand may have been drying some clothes reasonably close,” Mr Burgess said. “From talking to the guy, it sounds like he’s just forgotten to turn it off before he went to work.” Around an hour later, a member of the public called 111 after noticing the fire. Mr Burgess said a good portion

of the house was damaged. The room where the fire originated was severely fire damaged while the rest of the house was smoke and heat damaged. The fire got into the ceiling and firefighters had to rip iron off to access it. Ashburton’s fire risk management officer Murray Cairns was called to the scene to investigate the cause and confirmed the clothes drying near the heater were to blame. He said the young man who rented the house was devastated to have lost all of his belongings, and to know that it was his mistake which had caused it. Mr Cairns said it was a lesson for all to stick to the metre from the heater rule at all times. He said things did not have to be touching a heater to catch fire; the radiated heat could break down objects and start burning if it got hot enough. The man has been left with only the clothes he wore to work yesterday and he was being helped by family and Victim Support.

■ ASHBURTON CORRECTIONS

Outgrowing its facilities By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Corrections has confirmed it is on the look-out for a new home in Ashburton, after outgrowing the facilities it has called home since 2002. Once it finds where it once to go though, the organisation will engage with neighbours to give them the opportunity to ask any questions and provide any feedback. Corrections, the home of community probation services, has leased its current Cass Street site since 2002 but the premises was no longer big

enough – something highlighted by this week’s visit by Corrections Minister Anne Tolley. She said staff in Ashburton worked in appalling conditions. They worked out of portacoms which were basic and had security issues. Offender interviews were currently held in the portable cabins. Acting Canterbury District manager for Community Corrections Lisa Tiatua said the site was just too small. While it was reported earlier this week it was hoped building could start on a new home for

Corrections as early as October, she could not confirm that. “We have not yet secured a lease so are not in a position to comment on the possible location of a new site at this stage,” she said. Corrections has 14 full and part time staff working in Ashburton. That includes probation officers, community work staff, administration, a psychologist and a programme facilitator. Staff work with approximately 160 offenders on community sentences in the Ashburton area.

The changes in Ashburton are part of a national programme to upgrade Community Corrections sites to provide improved facilities to support community-based offenders to live crime-free lives. Improvements include dedicated space for community work, and an area to run programmes aimed at rehabilitation and skills development for community-based offenders. Corrections aims to reduce re-offending in New Zealand by 25 per cent by 2017. So far, re-offending has been reduced by around 12 per cent.

■ TIMARU FIRE

Glass-fire warning Ashburton’s fire risk management officer has issued a warning about leaving glass bottles lying around following a house fire he investigated in Timaru this week. Murray Cairns said the fire stemmed from a glass RTD bottle left on the second storey deck of a Timaru house. It wasn’t a hot day but the sun was out, and the sun shining on the glass bottle was determined as the cause for the fire. Mr Cairns said the occupants could smell smoke when they returned home that evening around 7pm, but with fires and smoking chimneys around them, they put the smell down to that. But shortly after 11pm, their smoke alarms started going off. The outside wall of their house was on fire and the paint on their lounge wall was blistering. Mr Cairns said it all came down to the angle of the sun. “It doesn’t have to be the middle of February and a stinking hot day for it to happen,” he said.

A man believed to be New Zealand’s worst drink driver has failed in his application to appeal against a jail sentence he has already served, in order to get drug and alcohol treatment. Brian Mitchell Hart, 58, from Hawkes Bay, applied for leave to appeal his 33rd prison sentence for his 20th drink driving conviction earlier this month. He had been sentenced to

Scottish ceilidh The Ashburton County Scottish Society is hosting a ceilidh/concert tomorrow at the Ashburton Seniors Centre. The concert will feature local entertainment, bagpipe music, Scottish dancing and singing. Raffles will be available and afternoon tea provided. The concert starts at 2pm and tickets cost $5.

Shots fired A man has been arrested after shots were fired at two buses in Dunedin yesterday morning. Windows on the buses were damaged, as was a nearby house on Silverton St, when the shots were fired shortly before 8am, police said. Passengers were on the buses at the time. A 21-yearold man was arrested a short time later close to the scene, southern district command centre deployment manager Kelvin Lloyd said. The weapon used was an airgun. “Although, at the time no-one knew what had done it, so it was treated at the highest level,” Mr Lloyd said. The arrested man would appear before Dunedin District Court next week facing firearms and damages charges, Mr Lloyd said. - APNZ

NZ’s worst drink driver loses appeal By PaTricE Dougan

In brief

12 months imprisonment, disqualified from driving and ordered to undertake any treatment or counselling programmes recommended by probation. However, he sought leave to appeal against the sentence, saying he wanted to serve a community sentence at an alcohol rehabilitation clinic. The appeal was heard the day before he was due to be released from prison. Hart argued there was a miscarriage of justice because the

lower courts were “labouring under misconceptions about sentences for recidivist drink drivers”. “In short, prison will not stop Mr Hart, and others like him, from continuing to drink and drive and a rehabilitative sentence should have been imposed,” the Court of Appeal decision summarised. However, it did not agree with the argument. “A successful appeal would mean imposing a second sentence on Mr Hart on top of the

prison sentence he has already served. “There is no good reason to do so,” the decision said. “Mr Hart is already subject to a requirement to attend any treatment or programme directed by his probation officer. If he or his advisers wish that to be a residential programme, that should be discussed with his probation officer. “In these circumstances we are not satisfied that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred.” - APNZ

A 19-year-old from Hokitika who stole 20 boxes of girl guide biscuits and was also found in possession of cannabis was given 100 hours community work and ordered to pay reparation of $280, when he appeared in the Greymouth District Court yesterday. On February 17, Eldon Wilson took the biscuits from the front porch of a house in Hokitika, where they were being stored before being sold. A police search of Wilson’s home on unrelated matters uncovered one empty box of biscuits, 10 unopened boxes and nine boxes already in the rubbish bin. - APNZ

Assault charge Police have charged a youth in relation to the violent attack on a young Hastings teenager two weeks ago. The 12-year-old was attacked by a group of youths as he walked through Akina Park on 15 August. He received serious facial injuries in the attack. Police said a 14-year-old Hastings youth appeared in the Hastings Youth Court charged with injuring with intent to injure. He was bailed to appear again next month. - APNZ

Lawyer charged A Wellington lawyer facing drugs charges will keep his name secret at least until a hearing next month. The man, whose appearance at the Wellington District Court was excused yesterday, will have a hearing next month on whether his name suppression should be lifted. He has been charged with possession of methamphetamine, LSD and ecstasy. - APNZ

■ LIGHTS IN ASHBURTON SKY

Sightings put down to meteor By Erin TaskEr and aPnZ erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton woman driving home from a meeting on Thursday night thought she was witnessing a plane crash when she saw something drop vertically from the sky. But now she thinks it was in fact related to the meteor sightings which were reported around New Zealand earlier in the evening. The woman, who did not wish to be named, said she was driving on Kitchener Street towards Bridge Street at about 9.30pm when she saw a bright

yellow light falling vertically. It was a strange sight; certainly not a shooting star. “I was driving home from a meeting and went ‘holy hell, what was that’. I honestly thought that it might have been a plane dropping vertically,” she said. “I wondered if I should drive out to Milton Road, or Cochranes Road, to see what it was or not.” When she got home and checked the internet she read about the meteor sightings and decided that must have been what it was.

“I thought ‘oh, it was space junk, I wonder who has found it on their place’,” she said. The burning ball of space rock was spotted from locations throughout the country, including the West Coast, Auckland, Christchurch, Upper Hutt, Palmerston North, Napier and Nelson. Many of those who sighted the meteor described it as large with a colourful tail, streaking across the sky about 6pm. Tim Jessop, an educator at Stardome Observatory, said such meteors were not uncommon.

“It happens from time-totime you get a random meteor coming through, we usually get a couple of calls about them a year, ones that are different to what people often see. “But they’re not unexpected, you can’t really predict them, they’re usually tiny things,” he said. “They look big, but they’re often not very large at all. It almost certainly wouldn’t have made it to the ground, it would have burnt up high in the atmosphere.” It had been a bit too cloudy over the observatory, located in

Auckland’s Royal Oak, too see it tonight, he said. A meteor was typically “some random rock or ice from space falling through the [Earth’s] atmosphere”, Mr Jessop said. There was no need to be concerned, he said, there was “no consequence whatsoever”. A Methven man driving home from Christchurch saw the bright green light shoot across the sky and then break up when he was just north of Rakaia. “Bits started breaking off and it just disappeared,” the man said.

■ ASHBURTON WHITE RIBBON DAY

Gauging male role model behaviour By Toni Williams

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

White Ribbon Day campaigners will seek input from Mid Cantabrians with a survey to gauge public expectations around appropriate male role model behaviour. The White Ribbon Day committee were gearing up this week for their annual appeal day on November 25. They planned to get in early and target their campaign towards the bystanders – those who knew or suspected family violence against women and children was happening but did not react, or know how to re-

act. The campaigners wanted to give these people support and knowledge about where to get help for those living with family violence. Committee member Poppy Cooper-Vear said a survey would be prepared and taken out into the public for their help on how they believed a man should behave. The committee wanted to gage different perspectives from within society about the expected behaviour of males and what were considered “social norms”. They talked about contacting sports clubs to wider their

information gathering. It was planned to have the survey on the streets next week so information could be gathered and collated in time for the White Ribbon Day promotion. The committee wanted to get people thinking and talking about family violence – an issue that was often swept under the carpet. It is believed just 20 per cent of family violence was reported. During White Ribbon Day campaigners would identify signs of family violence andgive advice on what people could do if they were concerned.

Safer Ashburton District already had a Family Violence Information Pack for people experiencing family violence, or for others wanting to help people living with family violence. Mrs Cooper-Vear said the campaign would also promote the family charter as well as people’s expectations of others in the home. The family charter included living in a positive family environment, showing an interest in others in the family, settling arguments without hitting or threats and to discourage the use of drugs.

Woodville School has sent a warning home to parents after one of their students was allegedly approached by a stranger. The young boy had begun walking home at around 3pm on Tuesday when he came across a male sitting in a green car. The person appeared to have stopped by a hill for a cigarette but as the boy came alongside the vehicle, the driver has offered him a ride. Principal Gerry McGirr said the boy declined and continued to walk home. “This young man did exactly the right thing. He went home and told his mother who came into school the following morning.” The child said the driver wore a hat, was unshaven and drove a late model car. A warning has also been posted on the school’s Facebook page. “The police saw this post and have spoken with the boy and his mother,” Mr McGirr said. “This isn’t the first time this has happened … it’s not often but it does happen.” Teachers had also spoken to their classes about the dangers associated with accepting rides from strangers, he added. “Particularly the younger children have been made aware. We really encourage parents to pick these young ones up.” In July this year, police sought two males who tried to enticed young schoolboys into a white van. Two students aged 10 and 11, were approached on separate occasions at a playground in Martinborough. Both ignored the men’s requests and ran for help. - APNZ

■ TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENTS

In brief

Cough up, or take a seminar Young Mid Cantabrians issued with a driving fine may be able to avoid dipping into their pockets by instead attending a seminar offering road safety advice. The seminars take in everything from the effects of road crashes, to insurance, and they’re part of an operation being run by Canterbury Police, focusing on high risk drivers who are part of the graduated driver licensing system, aged between 16 and 19, and living in the Canterbury District. Working in partnership with the Police Infringement Bureau and the Canterbury Dis-

trict Health Board (CDHB), the operation sees young drivers who have been issued with an offence notice given the option of attending the seminar instead of paying a fine. An infringement notice would usually cost around $100 and carry 35 demerit points and drivers are being warned they’ll only receive the invitation to the seminar, and the warning, once. Senior Sergeant Dan Harker said the first seminar was held earlier this week and it was attended by almost 60 young drivers, about a third of whom brought a caregiver with them.

“This allowed us take a more preventative approach by passing on road safety advice rather than issuing an infringement notice for their first offence,” he said. The seminar runs for 90 minutes and is held at the Christchurch Central Police Station. Specialised road policing officers are joined by trauma staff from Christchurch Hospital to talk about the effects of crashes both to the people involved, their families and the wider community. A representative from the Christchurch City Council road safety team, a local driv-

ing instructor and an insurance representative also speak at the seminar and give advice. Attendees are encouraged to bring their caregiver with them. They will also learn how to speed up acquiring their full license, the pros and cons of insurance and the consequences of vehicle accidents and peer pressure. Police have received more than 100 referrals from across the district during the monthlong operation and have received positive feedback from those that have attended the seminar.

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF PERFORMING ARTS

It’s annual competitions time again BY GEORGIA WEAVER

EDITORIAL.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton Society of Performing Arts is holding its 93rd annual vocal and instrumental competition this weekend. Students aged six to 18 will travel from Leeston and Darfield to compete against local performers in hopes of winning one of the cash prizes. Convener for the Ashburton Society of Performing Arts, Jeanette Currie said the competition was a good opportunity for kids to show off their talents. “It gives them a chance to perform in front of an audience, in a fun and competitive environment,” she said. President Deanna Watson said the most significant prize available was the Most Promising Pianist award worth $100, sponsored by the Ashburton Music Club. Mrs Watson said the National Young Performer award

Eight escape ﬁre Eight people have escaped a Papatoetoe house fire this evening. Two fire crews were called out to the blaze at 8.40pm and were still at the property doing salvage work at 9.15pm. An ambulance was at the scene and there had been reports of people suffering from smoke inhalation. Fire communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said a fire specialist was heading to the scene to investigate the cause of the incident. - APNZ

Fire in chip factory Firefighters have averted a chemical reaction after a fire took hold at a potato chip factory in Timaru last evening. The blaze was located in a large shed at the Heartland Potato Chip site on Sheffield St, in the Washdyke suburb, southern Fire Service acting shift manager Lyn Crosson said. Firefighters were called to the scene around 6pm, where they found smoke coming from the 30m by 20m shed, she said. Chemicals, bales and potatoes were stored in the building, she said, and there were concerns about a potential reaction with the fire. No-one was injured in the fire, she said, which had now been extinguished. - APNZ

Theft arrests Two men have been arrested after police found about 400 stolen avocados at a house in Whangarei. The stash of avocados found at the Smeaton Dr property is believed to have been the result of a number of burglaries from avocado orchards in the area recently, police said. Investigations into the thefts and information from the public prompted police to issue a search warrant on the house yesterday. - APNZ

■ ROAD SAFETY CALENDAR

Winning artwork selected for road safety calendar By GeorGia Weaver

Editorial.s@thEguardian.co.nz

Twelve children whose artwork was voted best road awareness message will get to see their drawings in next year’s safety calendar. On Thursday, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay presented 12 winners with a certificate and gift voucher at the Ashburton District Council. “There was an excellent variety of good messages this year,” Mr McKay said. Children in the district were invited to submit their artwork that illustrated a road safety message and the public voted for their favourite. People were encouraged to pick what they thought deserved to be in next year’s road safety calendar. There were only 20 entries this year which was a significant drop from last year’s 66. Project Manager for Road Safety Aileen Campbell said there was a good variety of speed and pedestrian safety messages this year. The council has been spreading awareness of basic road safety to young people, particularly after a young girl was badly injured when she was hit by a truck in central Ashburton in July. Miss Campbell said speed was still a major factor in a lot of road accidents. “Everything else is reducing, but speed isn’t,” she said. “We need people’s behaviour to change. We want people who speed even a little to slow down.”

St John calls unpredictable

Man threatens to knock out judge

By erin Tasker

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s St John Ambulance attends an average of nearly 11 call-outs a day, but no one can predict just when those calls will come. Sometimes they get a flurry and when they do, the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade is often turned out to help. That’s what happened recently when the brigade was called to three medical callouts in the space of just 20 minutes. Firefighters are also sometimes called when paramedics require help lifting a large patient, or to motor vehicle crashes to assist injured parties from cars, and to any 111 calls triaged red and purple – which means they’re immediately life threatening and the assistance of firefighters would make a difference to patient outcomes.

Medical assistance is a growing part of being a volunteer firefighter, but that’s the reality in a smaller town, and the help of firefighters is valued by St John. “We value and appreciate the support of our colleagues in the Fire Service. Working with them helps both organisations serve our communities,” St John territory manager for Mid Canterbury Grant Dewar said. Ashburton St John attends an average of 75 incidents per week. They have eight fulltime staff, including a paid patient transfer service officer, and one paid part-time staff officer. Alongside the paid staff is a team of 15 active volunteers based at the Ashburton station. Mr Dewar said St John valued the contribution of all of its volunteers.

“They are the backbone of the organisation and without their consistent, dedicated work then we would not be able to provide many of the services we currently do.” St John was “very conscious’ of the challenges of rural volunteering. “It is a big issue across the country, and also for many other community and charity organisations. People are life rich but time poor; there are many demands on peoples’ lives nowadays, and not everyone has the time available to volunteer regularly for an organisation like St John,” Mr Dewar said. At the moment, Ashburton St John is not classes as needing extra staff. Last week St John announced they were adding 158 new frontline staff in 35 locations across New Zealand, but none were coming to Mid Canterbury.

A man who, in the family court, threatened to knock out the judge and said he would see him in the car park, has been sentenced to community detention, community work and supervision. A judge’s job was tough enough without having to face “this sort of behaviour”, Judge Colin Doherty told 26-year-old Garry Stephen Harvey in the Dunedin District Court yesterday. Harvey, of Dunedin, had admitted threatening to injure Judge Stephen John Coyle knowing his conduct was likely to intimidate him. Judge Doherty said Harvey’s culpability and responsibility was “at the highest higher end of this type of offending”. His behaviour seemed calculated and designed to intimidate. In a written victim impact statement, Judge Coyle said he thought Harvey meant what he said. He was nervous about it and called security to ensure when

he went to the car park Harvey was not there. He also informed his family. He took the matter seriously. Reviewing the facts, Judge Doherty said Harvey was a participant in family court proceedings at Dunedin on June 23 and became upset about something the judge said to him. He threatened to knock out the judge and that he would see him in the car park, then stormed out. Counsel John Westgate said an apology letter written by Harvey rendered his submissions “almost irrelevant”. There was always pressure bubbling under the surface when people were at family court. Harvey wanted him to re-emphasise verbally he was sorry for what he had done. It would have been upsetting for a judge “who has a tough enough job as it is”. Harvey deeply regretted what he did and would be going to anger management counselling. - APNZ

■ LYTTELTON PORT

Port ‘deaths unacceptable’ WorkSafe has requested an urgent meeting with Lyttelton Port management after Thursday’s tragic death of a port worker signalled the third fatality in a year. Brad Fletcher, the Maritime Union’s branch president, was fatally injured when a large scissor lift toppled over at Gladstone Quay about 3.20pm on Thursday, police said. The 40-year-old father-ofthree fell to the ground as it tipped over and died at the scene. WorkSafe New Zealand has

been informed, and an investigation into the incident had begun, police said. Acting chief executive of WorkSafe, Brett Murray will meet with the port company’s senior management on Tuesday to discuss health and safety at the Christchurch port. “Yesterday’s death was the third at the port in the last year. Ports are an inherently dangerous working environment but these deaths are completely unacceptable,” he said. The latest incident is particularly concerning to WorkSafe

which says it has been working actively at the port. Five improvement notices, six prohibition notices and four written warnings have been issued at the port this year. “On Tuesday, we will talk directly to the port company’s senior leadership and worker representatives about the state of affairs at the port,” he said. “There are clearly serious risks at the port that need to be effectively managed and we want to ensure the port company is doing this. “The face-to-face meeting will

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE MUSICAL EVENING

Evening showcases students’ talents By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

More than 39 talented acts got on stage this week and performed at the Ashburton College Music Evening in the Holyoake Auditorium. The event showcased the talent of the secondary school students with performances from both juniors and seniors. Winners of their sections were; Samantha McArthur (vocal junior solo), Hannah Wakelin and Jack Bubb (vocal junior duet), Nicolaas Klever (instrumental solo/duet), Awatea Timothy (vocal senior solo), Olivia Stewart and Awatea Timothy (vocal senior duet), Annie McDonald, Matthew Rae, Samuel Goulter and Sian Hurley (instrumental, three or more), Gabrielle Stringer, Libby Higson, Annelise Diamond and Hannah Hawkes (vocal groups three or more). The evening’s performances

ranged from vocal solos to full blues bands. Along with some popular modern numbers such as How Long Will I Love You, Say Something and This is the Moment there were also some classic movers and a few musical numbers like I Could Have Danced all Night, I Dreamed a Dream and Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Lauren Yeatman was named most promising girl and Jack Bubb most promising boy. Awatea Timothy won best song from a musical (Empty Chairs at Empty Tables) and Fergielyn Catayoc and Angela Naui best original composition (I Got You). The House Fest Cup award went to Orange House.

be a chance for WorkSafe to set out clearly our expectations of the port, and seek a commitment from the company about how it will respond to the ongoing health and safety issues at the facility.” Maritime Union national secretary Joe Fleetwood said Mr Fletcher’s death was a great shock. “Brad was a highly respected figure in Lyttelton and within the Maritime Union, and the union would be supporting his workmates and family.” The Lyttelton Volunteer

Fire Service paid tribute to Mr Fletcher on its Facebook page. It put up an image of a pair of fireman’s boots, with the text reading: “At the end of the day... some of us may never put our shoes back on”. The organisers of the Skytower stair challenge also posted a note about Mr Fletcher. “Having personally met Brad at Skytower I have to say he was certainly one of the good buggers and is a huge loss to both the fire service and the stair climbing fraternity. - APNZ

Tears at hearing There have been tears at the final day of the disciplinary hearing into the conduct of a senior EQC assessor. Final submissions are being heard from the 11 complainants against Graham Robinson, before an IPENZ committee. Robinson, EQC’s sole advisor after the Canterbury earthquakes is defending 11 complaints before a disciplinary hearing. Christchurch nurse and complainant Michelle Park’s voice broke as she compared her damaged house to a sick patient. She said Mr Robinson was brought in as a specialist to diagnose her house but his skills were inadequate and he should be liable for his short comings. Complainant Michael Tierney told the committee if they don’t find Robinson guilty of some form of malpractice then the rest of New Zealand should be concerned next time there is a serious disaster. He said IPENZ needed to do more than give a slap on the wrist to engineers they find are incompetent. But the head of the EQC’s Canterbury Home Repair Programme said he feared the senior engineer was bearing the brunt of failings within EQC. Reid Stiven told the committee Robinson’s inspections only occurred in cases where there was a dispute between EQC and the customer over what was earthquake damage. He said it was possible the Napier engineer is in this position because of problems with EQC’s processes, not his work. Reid Stiven said ideally Robinson would have no interaction with customers, but the scale of the Canterbury earthquakes meant that was not possible. The panel has reserved its decision. - APNZ

Secondary Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Trident otball Tournament South Island Fo

Ashburton College First XI

he Ashburton College 1st XI are competing in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Trident Tournament in Nelson on September 1st â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5th. The tournament includes 24 teams from around the country. The squad is made up of students from Years 11, 12 and 13. Students play the majority of their football for the Mid Canterbury Football Club in their respective age group teams. This year the squad has played three matches which have all been interschool exchanges. The team first had an impressive 4-0 win over Burnside High School. This was followed by a 3-1 loss to Lincoln High School and a 1-0 win over Rangiora High School. The latter two teams are both travelling to the Lotto National Premier Tournament so they were impressive results.

Our latest match, against Geraldine High School, was a success for us too, winning 5-0. The team trains once a week on a Wednesday after school, and on a Tuesday and Thursday the students train with their club sides. Leading into the tournament two running sessions have been added to their workload in order to have them in good physical condition before the start of the tournament. Playing seven games in five days at this tournament is not for the faint-hearted! The students would like to thank each and every one of their sponsors for kindly supporting them in making their trip to Nelson possible. They would also like to thank A to B Rentals, Elite Embroidery, Wises Pharmacy and the Guardian for providing their services at an excellent and affordable rate.

■ METHVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Students put their learning into action Methven Primary School Year 2 and 3 pupils put their learning into practice yesterday with the Mt Hutt and Double Hill Rooms taking part in a Great Round the World Balloon Race. They started off their unit of inquiry by inflating a giant hot air balloon on the school grounds to find out how it worked. Teacher Tania Goodwin said

the pupils had read Sue Scullard’s book The Great Round the World Balloon Race. It was about the adventures of Harriet Shaw and her niece and nephew. They went around the world visiting the people and learning about them. After reading the book, the Methven children also planned to visit many cultures around the world via the internet

and books. Those connections taught the children about how they connect with other people. They planned to learn about other countries and their uniqueness. They hoped to make connections with children in other countries via ePals, and learn about their cultures. Mrs Goodwin said the classes had created a papier mache

balloon that they designed and named to match our different cultures. To help the children learn about how they connect with other people, Aoraki Balloon Safaris were invited to show the children what a hot air balloon looked like up close. While it stayed grounded it gave the children a glimpse into what it might be like in the air.

■ INDECENCY CHARGES

Tribunal strikes doctor off By Patrice Dougan A doctor who was found guilty of indecently assaulting two young boys, who were the children of a family friend, has been struck off. Dr I admitted the charges in September last year and was sentenced to 12 months home detention on each of the two charges. He was then referred to the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal (HPDT), who released its decision yesterday, saying his actions were “morally, ethically and professionally repugnant”. The then 65-year-old – who was granted permanent name suppression, along with his

victims – had been a registered doctor for more than 20 years when he indecently assaulted the two brothers, who were aged 6 and 11 at the time, in their own home. Dr I had been staying at a friend’s house following the suicide of his adult son. During the period of his offending in late 2012 and early 2013, he was suffering “an intense emotional disturbance”, after coming home from a holiday in mid 2012 to find his son had taken his own life. He became “profoundly depressed”, suffered flashbacks of cleaning the scene, and had suicidal thoughts himself, the HPDT said. “It was because of these

tragic events that a close friend suggested that the practitioner might like to come and spend time visiting at his family home with his two young boys, the two victims,” the decision said. While he was staying at the family home he would creep into the boys’ bedrooms or into the bathroom while they were showering and indecently assault them, the HPDT said. “The offence relates to a health practitioner’s core professional obligation to avoid any unlawful sexual conduct as it fundamentally undermines the trust and confidence that the community must have in a health practitioner,” the decision said. “Sexual offending against

young and vulnerable children under the age of 12 years must always be regarded as morally, ethically and professionally repugnant.” It said the offences were “at the more serious end of the broad range of indecent acts” and “amongst the most serious offending that this tribunal has to deal with”. “There is no doubt that this offending must adversely reflect on his fitness to practise.” It ruled Dr I’s registration as a medical practitioner be cancelled, and that conditions should be imposed on him prior to being able to re-apply. He was also censured and ordered to pay costs of about $6000. - APNZ

Labour Leader David Cunliffe’s performance saw him create a slightly bigger buzz than Prime Minister John Key among Facebook’s 2.4 million New Zealand users during Thursday night’s TVNZ Leaders Debate according to data supplied by the social media site. “Buzz” around both candidates – which Facebook says refers to mentions in posts or comments but does not track sentiment – spiked during the debate with Mr Cunliffe being mentioned a little more than Mr Key. Issues that generated the most buzz during the debate were taxes, the economy and wages. Facebook said men and women were equally engaged during the debate with the biggest interest coming from the 25-34 years age group. Over the last week Mr Key has been the most talked about political figure followed by troubled Justice Minister Judith Collins, Internet Party backer Kim Dotcom, NZ First Leader Winston Peters with Mr Cunliffe trailing in fifth place. Minor party leaders said neither man emerged as a clear winner in Thursday night’s debate. United Future Leader Peter Dunne said it was unlikely to have swayed any voters either way. “I don’t think you can draw too much from it. They were each shouting each other down.” He said Mr Cunliffe, in his first major test, didn’t mess anything up. “But he didn’t shut up, and that distracted from the whole spectacle. You can be assertive in a debate without being obnoxious, and Cunliffe strayed close to breaching that.” New Zealand First leader Winston Peters said the only headway Mr Key made was lumping the Green’s policies in with Labour’s. “That was not deflected the way it should have been ... But I don’t think either side will be happy with the performance.” He said the moderator Mike Hosking gave a “very polished and neutral performance”. Conservative leader Colin Craig said that Mr Cunliffe won but only “by a nose”. “John Key was way too evasive and elusive, he was just trying to brush things off. He was very dismissive of land sales [to foreigners], saying it was not a big deal, but how would he know? - APNZ

Living the good life Phillippa Jamieson has made it a lifetime commitment to growing and eating organic food and shares her philosophy with reporter Sue Newman.

View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

ood health starts at the bottom, in the soil says organics expert Phillippa Jamieson. And while eating organic food might be simple if you have a home garden, for many people eating organic produce it often means paying a premium at the checkout. Today consumer demand far outstrips the ability – or willingness – of fruit and vegetable growers to make the switch to organics but that reluctance to change is sometimes prompted by ignorance rather than lack of desire, Ms Jamieson said. She’s editor of the Organic NZ magazine, and says her conversion to organics came after watching a movie, the Neglected Miracle about plant variety rights and the legal battle that was being fought over attempts to tweak varieties and buy rights to their names. Back then being green, eating organic food was considered pretty left wing. Phillippa joined an organic food co-operative, became a member of the New Zealand Soil and Health Association and found herself at a national conference in Ashburton. That conference was a light bulb moment. “It was a turning point for me. I suddenly connected with all these people who were into organics. It wasn’t until I met so many like-minded people that it became real. I was blown away by what was happening in this country.”

Organics advocate Phillippa Jamieson. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 190814-TM-022

She returned home from the conference inspired, throwing in her job, packing her bags and joining the Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) movement. Over the next two and a half years she worked on 40 different farms around New Zealand and gaining a deep understanding of the soil health – healthy people link. Today organics has become mainstream but it’s been a long, slow journey, Ms Jamieson said. Many people say they don’t eat organically produced food because of its price, but with seasonal food there should be no price difference between organic and chemically treated products.The change needs to be driven from the retail sector and it’s starting, she said. “There’s a supermarket in Remuera where they’re pricing their organic product exactly the same as other products and

they’re doing that by cutting out the middle man, dealing directly with the grower.” For organic food to secure a stronghold in the market, however, she said more organic producers were needed. Making the change to growing organically did take time, depending on the history of the land used, but the rapidly growing demand for organic produce gave growers every incentive to make the change. “We have to bring back the life in the soil. Even with dairying you can go organic.” Ms Jamieson was in Ashburton recently speaking to members of the Mid Canterbury Soil and Health Association.

SOIL AND HEALTH ASSOCIATION

he Soil & Health Association was established in 1941 and is the largest membership organisation supporting organic food and farming in New Zealand. Its focus is on creating an organic New Zealand and it is committed to the maxim –

Healthy Soil, Healthy Food, Healthy People. It publishes the magazine Organic NZ, supports the development of research into organics and promotes organic production methods. The association also works on behalf of its members to lobby local and central Govern-

ment – influencing future policy and operates the Project Gro fund to assist schools, maraes and community gardens with financial support to establish or redevelop organic gardens or provide mentoring support. It is totally reliant on public support for its advocacy role.

HOW DO I KNOW MY FOOD IS ORGANICALLY GROWN?

rganic food is grown naturally and without the routine use of synthetic agricultural pesticides or fertilisers. The production of organic food has a reduced effect on the environment. There is no specific regulation in New Zealand protecting the word ‘organic’ so it’s ‘buyer beware’. Products can be labelled as ‘organic’ without any requirement to prove this through certification. BioGro certification, however, provides you with an independent validation of a producer’s organic claim. To be certified-organic by BioGro, producers must document a full management plan and record all inputs used in

their production. Producers are audited at least annually and if they comply with standards, they have the right to use the BioGro trademark. Over the last five years the organic market has experienced rapid growth, partly as a result of lost confidence in some aspects of conventional agricultural methods, food scares, and because of genetic engineering. As more funding becomes available to the organics industry for research and development the costs associated with organic production will reduce. These cost reductions should be passed on to the consumer. Similarly, as organic production becomes mainstream the price of organic food should also come down.

■ VEHICLE LICENSING FEES

Registration rort expands By Patrice Dougan Motorists are evading hundreds of dollars in vehicle licensing fees by incorrectly registering their cars as farm vehicles. It follows the revelation earlier this week that hundreds of drivers were falsely registering their cars as ambulances to save more than $200 in fees. Other categories, including farm vehicles, also pay reduced fees, which one testing station owner says is being exploited by some drivers of “Remuera tractors”. Farm vehicles fall under the Class B category, which are exempt from paying ACC levies, fuel excise and excise duty. The classification relates to

vehicles which are designed for agricultural operations and have restricted use on public roads. Alan Parker, who owns a vehicle testing station in Auckland’s eastern suburbs, said he often sees cars with central Auckland addresses come into the testing station for a Warrant of Fitness which are registered as farm vehicles. “When we go to enter them into the system we get red flags come up about these vehicles,” he said. “A farm vehicle sometimes doesn’t need a warrant, so we over-ride it and we tell the system we’re inspecting them as private vehicles.” Such customers were typically from wealthy suburbs, he

said. “There’s so many up in Remuera that are registered as farm vehicles, Toyota [Land Cruiser] Prados and that,” he said. “And maybe these people do legitimately own farms, but they’re not legitimately using that vehicle for farm use.” He added: “It gives the name the ‘Remuera tractor’ a new slant.” However, other customers were struggling beneficiaries, he said. “Sometimes I can’t blame them for doing it because they’ve got nothing, and at least they’re not picking up a $250 fine for no rego.” Typically the licensing fee for a petrol-powered Exempt Class B vehicle is $50.22, the New Zealand Transport Agen-

cy said, compared to $280.55 for a petrol-driven passenger car. Other motorists have contacted APNZ to report how they had bought vehicles only to find out months later they were registered as an ambulance. Massey woman Petra Zeeven said she bought a four-door Nissan Pulsar about eight years ago from a car dealer, who paid for the first six months registration. However, when the renewal form came in, she was surprised to see how cheap it was. “I realised they’d written on it that I had an ambulance,” she said. She contacted the dealer, who told her it “was just a mistake”. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE OPEN EVENING

Pleasing turn-out for college open evening Thirteen-year-old Ella McQuillan gets instructions on using chop sticks by Ashburton College student Abbey Hands, 15, during the college’s open evening this week. Deputy principal Helen ShoreTaylor said around 300 people toured the college during the annual open night. It was a pleasing turn-out and on par with other years. Visitors were welcomed in the auditorium before being split into tour groups and taken around the campus. It was an open session for all members of the public and not only included prospective students, but some grandparents as well as past students keen to view changes at the college. Mrs Shore-Taylor said invitations were extended to Year 7 and 8 pupils in the district to have a look around the college in preparation for enrolments next month.

■ WHANGAREI DISTRICT COURT

JPs ignore judge’s instructions By imran aLi A Whangarei mother who left her four young children home alone was arrested on a warrant and granted bail by two Justices of the Peace despite instructions to the contrary by a judge. Maraea Manu Gage, 24, failed to appear for sentencing in the Whangarei District Court for the second time yesterday, forcing Judge Duncan Harvey to issue another warrant.

Police picked up Gage’s four children, including an eightmonth-old and a six-year-old, from their Raumanga home after going there on an unrelated matter on May 10. The six-year-old was cradling her younger sister, watching a computer on which music was being played, and there was no food or heating in the dark, dirty house. Gage was to be sentenced on four charges of ill treatment/ neglect of a child under 18 after earlier pleading guilty to

the charges. They have a maximum jail term of 10 years. In court yesterday, her lawyer John Day said he couldn’t progress matters further because of her non-appearance. Judge Harvey said Gage first appeared on May 14 and was released on bail. On June 10, she pleaded guilty and was released on bail to re-appear for sentencing on August 1, but failed to turn up on that day. A warrant was issued by Judge Harvey on August 1, who also ordered that upon her

arrest she shouldn’t be granted bail except by a judge. But yesterday the judge said he was advised that Gage had since been arrested and appeared in the Auckland District Court where two JPs granted her bail, despite his order which was relayed to that court. “It’s no surprise she’s not here. There’s simply no proper explanation how this situation has arisen,” Judge Harvey said. He ordered that her sentencing must proceed before him when she is found. - APNZ

Brewery stoush on Coast By ViV Logie

Greymouth publicans are livid with Monteith’s Brewery bosses, saying they have reneged on a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ over opening hours and booze sales at the boutique brewery. When DB Breweries closed down the original brewery and opened a boutique brewery for tourists in 2012, then chief executive Brian Blake and Monteith’s boss Nick Rogers assured hoteliers that the new operation, tailored for tourists, would only sell Monteith’s products and would not operate later than 7pm, encouraging visitors to enjoy the hospitality of the local pubs. However, the Aucklandowned brewer has recently made subtle changes, which have not gone unnoticed by pub owners. The opening hours have quietly been stretched an extra hour - last drinks are now at 8pm - the menu has been extended from simple platters, and now wine is also being served. Railway Hotel owner Grant Olsen said they were promised the brewery would never sell products other than their own and they would close at 7pm, pushing their patrons on to other hotels and restaurants for meals. Mr Olsen said the menu was now “quite extensive” and included a dessert menu. The Railway Hotel has been solely DB for the past 14 years, and he found it galling that the same brewery was now going in direct competition. “They may as well put in some pokies, pool tables and become a real hotel,” Mr Olsen said. Australasian Hotel owner Peter Low, a former long-serving worker at the old brewery, said he was also disappointed with the changes. “There are other publicans in town who are trying to make a living and the brewery is taking custom away from them.” At the Union Hotel, just a couple of blocks away from Monteith’s, publican Mike Toal said he predicted this happening two years ago, which is why he took all DB products off tap in protest against the brewery. Monteith’s Brewery senior communications adviser Simon Smith denied the brewery was tempting custom away from local hotels with extended hours and by offering wine. “We have extended our hours to cater for tourists, who arrive later to town during the summer months, something we also did last year,” Mr Smith said. - APNZ

■ NETHERBY SCHOOL

Reading ambassador mobbed BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton College senior student was placed firmly in the spotlight at Netherby School assembly this week, promoting reading at her former primary school. Macey-Kaye Linwood, 18, was visiting the school as an Ashburton College Ambassador. The college ambassador role uses senior students as role models in their old primary school grounds. They visit their former schools for different reasons. She was also onsite as a Duffy role model. Nine pupils from the school were given Duffy books and a certificate as part of the reading encouragement programme. Miss Linwood spoke to the pupils at assembly about reading and her enjoyment of it. Then, in an open floor question time, she was bombarded with well phrased questions about books and life at college.

Her favourite book was Harry Potter, notably Ron Weasley her favourite character, her favourite author Veronica Roth and yes, she does like Michael Jackson. At college Miss Linwood was involved in a range of clubs and activities, including choir, cultural committee and writing for the school newsletter. The different badges on her blazer were from her school activities. She told the pupils college was different to primary school with more homework. But it was fun with lots of friends, experiences and responsibilities. It was the first time Miss Linwood had been back at Netherby School since she left. But it still had a very familiar feel. She was asked if she missed her old primary school. “I do miss Netherby School, I had a lot of fun here,” she told pupils.

ive-and-a-half days a week John Leonard climbs into his overalls and walks across the paddock to work. He spends the day fixing tractors, trucks, cars and farm machinery before heading home some time after 5.30. Like many people John works hard for his pay cheque. That’s where the similarities end. John has just logged his 60th year as either employee or owner of the Lauriston Garage and while he won’t admit the numbers, the next birthday he celebrates will be well past 80. And he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Why would he, he says, when he’s doing a job he loves, working alongside his son Bruce and spending his daylight hours with people from his community. “Of course I still do a full day’s work and sometimes I work half the night as well,” John said. Quitting now would be a waste of years of accumulated knowledge, he said. “You don’t need to stop working.” John shares the workload with Bruce. They’re a two-man team, but in the garage’s heyday there were 10 mechanics on staff and two office girls. There’s no boss John says, and there’s no division of labour – except when it comes to modern cars, where diagnosis is by computer. That’s Bruce’s domain, John prefers tools. “This game’s changed so much, it’s very different now and for the young ones, it’s fingers on computers they’re interested in. My computer’s in my head and my pen.” He’s a man of few words, letting his hands to the talking, but he’s quick to smile and has an easy way that’s earned him countless friends and loyal customers over the decades. “My customers are also my

friends, some of them I’ve known for a very long time,” he said. Not only is John a skilled mechanic, he’s also a whiz at turning a rough drawing into a functioning machine. “People come in and say they want something to do the job and we’ll design it and make it.” Over the years that’s included tree toppers, horse floats, lime sowers, stock crates and purposebuilt rollers – that’s just for starters. Amazing engineering feats have been accomplished in the old shed at Lauriston. During his 60 years in business John said he’s serviced machinery and vehicles for five genera-

ools, John is built to last

John Leonard’s Lauriston Garage can trace its history back to the village’s blacksmith shop, built in 1883 and so can his tools in trade, with smithy’s tools stacked alongside modern day computerised diagnostic equipment. Below – John Leonard and son Bruce, their huge store of mechanical knowledge spans the generations.

LAURISTON GARAGE, LOOKING BACK

auriston’s garage started its life as rural garages did, as a blacksmith shop. The first smithy, George Goldsmith, set up in business in 1883 in a small shed. Parts of that original building, including the forge, are included in today’s Lauriston Garage. A succession of smithys worked from the site until the early 1950s when business slowed and a visiting farrier from Rakaia paid regular visits until 1960. With time, the blacksmith shop was extended

to serve double duty as a garage. John Leonard joined the staff of owner Archie McLean in 1954, becoming the boss in 1962. Business was booming in the 1950s and the garage was extended and a service station added. Not only did the Lauriston Garage have a reputation for being able to fix just about any piece of machinery, it was also gaining a reputation as a manufacturer of equipment. Steel arrived by rail and goods were shipped back down the tracks to destinations from Takaka to Invercargill.

one of the early teamsters to work on Sherwood station. John also started work as an agricultural contractor, but when an opportunity came to work in Archie McLean’s garage, he grabbed it. Back then the Lauriston Garage was part blacksmith shop and occasional post office, with the addition of a vehicle and machinery workshop. Sixty years later it’s still pretty much the same. It’s just got a bit bigger and there’s now a small area at one end where the modern-day stuff is stored. As he works, John always has one ear cocked for the fire siren.

He’s been a volunteer for the Lauriston rural team for decades and as long as he can run, he’ll be turning out when the alarm sounds. “I founded the brigade 42 years ago and I’m still usually the first one off the block. I went to 22 calls last season.” Surprisingly, for a man who’s spent his working life tinkering with engines, John’s hands don’t tell the story of his trade. He’s always taken pride in being grime free when he goes home. It’s either good cleaner in the garage or too much time with his hands in the sink washing dishes that does that job, he said.

tions of farming families. He’s watched the winds of change blow through the rural sector as family ties with the land are severed and different farming practices arrive. His workshop is pack rat heaven. Nothing is thrown away. John believes the minute you throw something out you’ll be looking for it the next day. The old forge sits unused at one end of the garage, many of the original smithy’s tools still hanging alongside. Every space on the walls, every old workbench, every abandoned piece of machinery is weighed down by odds and ends, things that might

come in useful that are generated by a workplace that has stood on the same site for more than 100 years. “There’s stuff in the museum in Oamaru that we’re still using. Things were built to last back then,” John said. And then there’s the office. Two rooms, with papers, books and business cards piled on every available surface, pinned to the wall, stacked on the floor. There’s plenty of dust, little floor space and decades of memories. At a glance it would take an organisational whiz a week to whip it into shape. They won’t

get a chance while John’s around. Ask him for an invoice, a receipt or a piece of correspondence and within a couple of minutes he’ll have his hands on it. “I know where everything is filed at head office,” he said. John was born up the road in Lyndhurst. His dad Alf was an agricultural contractor on farms around Lyndhurst, but his family’s ties to the district run deep. His grandfather Jack Reid, a carpenter and wheelwright, came to Lyndhurst in 1890 and built houses at Springfield Estate and at Lyndhurst. He also built the Lyndhurst Hall. His paternal grandfather was

Rojas pulls out of All Whites camp

NZ in six rowing finals

All Whites striker Marco Rojas has pulled out of next week’s trip to Doha and Uzbekistan and will be replaced by Wellington Phoenix defender Thomas Doyle. Rojas, who was loaned out to Bundesliga 2 club Greuther Furth by VfB Stuttgart late last week, has prioritised his club commitments over the All Whites’ training camp and international against Uzbekistan. All Whites coach Anthony Hudson said Rojas’ first match for his new club will be on September 1, and it meant the turnaround was too tight to be involved in Doha and Tashkent. “Playing for his new club early in the week, the subsequent travel and recovery period means it is not practical to have Marco as part of the squad this time around,” Hudson said. Europe-based players Winston Reid and Chris Wood will link up with the squad after missing the recent draw with South Africa, but former captain Tommy Smith has requested not to be selected for the tour, or any game for the next 12 months, as he focuses on club football with Ispwich Town. “Our focus is on ensuring we have a squad full of players available to participate fully in the entire camp and build-up to the game against Uzbekistan and, in Thomas, we have a really exciting young prospect who has a chance to make an impression.” Doyle, who has featured in the ASB Premiership for Auckland City and Team Wellington, says the call up from Hudson is the latest exciting development in what has been a whirlwind month for the defender. “It’s pretty much my dream come true,” Doyle said. “I had a dream to become a professional footballer and also a great passion to represent my country at the highest level.” - APNZ

New Zealand have confirmed places in six A finals at the world rowing championships in Amsterdam, with the potential to add five more. Four crews made their way into A finals early yesterday, to add to the men’s coxed pair and women’s four, who advanced directly from their heats earlier in the week. Men’s pair Eric Murray and Hamish Bond won their semifinal in 6min 24.98s to add to their coxed pair effort and ensure places in two finals over the weekend. Britain and the United States took the other qualifying spots for the final, while Germany, Spain and South Africa moved through from the other semifinal. Women’s pair Rebecca Scown and Louise Trappitt finished second in their semifinal to progress in 7:22.12. They sat fourth at the 500m mark, were second at halfway on the 2000m course and held on from there. The US won in 7:16.35 with Australia third. Olympic champions Helen Glover and Heather Stanning won the other semifinal in 7:16.62, with Romania and South Africa taking the other final spots.

New Zealand have made an encouraging start to the dressage phase of the World Equestrian Games eventing competition in Normandy. Tim Price and his mount Wesko sit fourth after the first 46 of the 91-strong field completed their tests, while Mark Todd on Leonidas II is 12th. Price had a score of 42.0 and Todd 49.2. They trail the early leader, William Fox-Pitt of Britain, riding Chillli Morning, who put up a 37.0 point performance. Germans Michael Jung and Ingrid Klimke, riding Fishcerrocana FST and Escada respectively, sit second and third on 40.7 and 41.2 points. The other two members of the New Zealand team, Jock Paget and Andrew Nicholson, ride today, as do the individual representa-

tives, Lucy Jackson and Jonelle Price. New Zealand won’t know precisely where they’re sitting until Nicholson’s test on Nereo, which is second last of the 45 to run tomorrow to complete the dressage leg. Britain have the early advantage in the teams event, with Germany sitting second and New Zealand third, but with plenty of competition still to run. The event will finish early on Monday (NZ time) with the showjumping. Para-dressage rider, Anthea Dixon of Canterbury finished seventh on Doncartier in their first ride of the Games, competing in the teams event. They produced a 67.971 per cent test in the grade II event. Britain’s Natasha Baker on Cabral was first with a 73.647 per cent test. - APNZ

Ellis has her eye on Rio

Farr-Jones concerned about scrum

By JonAthAn LeAsk

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

With the disappointment of Glasgow behind her, Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis starts on the road to Rio on Monday. Ellis had a European holiday after the Commonwealth Games and returned to New Zealand last weekend. After a brief stint in the South Island to catch up with friends and family, she’s straight back to work. “I head back to Cambridge on Sunday and get straight back into training on Monday,” Ellis said. In Glasgow things didn’t quite go to plan. “I just didn’t have the racing in the legs. “I had done all the training but not the racing to perform. I was fit enough but as soon as the sprinting came I couldn’t sprint with them. “I always knew Glasgow was going to be a stretch with the preparation I had and that the build-up didn’t quite go to plan with a cold and an injury. It just wasn’t meant to be. “That’s sport. You can’t come away with a medal every time.” The team hasn’t had their official debrief yet, which will occur when the team has reassembled in Cambridge, but it is sure to come up from the girls’ sprint squad being left at home

for the world cup events was not ideal preparation. For Rio that appears not to be the problem as the money saved since the London games will go towards the two-year build-up for the next Olympics. “I think we’ll go to the first world cup in Mexico in November and the second one in London in December, which we’ll discuss during the week but I’m confident we’ll have full support from now. “And obviously I’ve got to be selected in the team to get there.” Her focus also goes back to team pursuit, competing in the individual mass start events at the Commonwealth Games where the team pursuit wasn’t on offer from the women. Something which puzzled her that the two sporting events, the Olympic and Commonwealth games, don’t mirror in events, nor did the Commonwealth Games offer the same events for men and women on the track. Two years out from the Rio Olympics, Ellis begins training from Monday with a tier one event in Cambridge mid-September followed by the Oceania Championships in October.

Jockey facing race fix charges By Mike diLLon

David Walker

Prominent jockey David Walker was on Thursday charged with one of racing’s most serious offences – deliberately holding a horse back from winning. The Racing Integrity Unit has charged Walker with two breaches of the Rules of Racing following his ride on Watch Your Man in race three at Awapuni on August 16. The RIU alleges Walker placed bets on another horse, St Ransom, and deliberately rode his horse to ensure his own bets were successful. It is against the rules of racing for a jockey to place bets on a horse other than the one they are riding. In New Zealand jockeys

are permitted to back their own mounts, which is not allowed in Australia. Walker was to have ridden Scapolo in today’s $200,000 Makfi Challenge at Hastings, but has been stood down. He did not answer calls. RIU general manager Mike Godber said that in view of the seriousness of the charges, the unit had recommended to New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing that Walker’s licence be suspended pending a hearing. “The allegations before Mr Walker are serious and threaten the very fabric of thoroughbred racing. “We therefore consider the continued participation of Mr Walker in racing prior to the

JCA [Judicial Control Authority] hearing would pose an unacceptable risk to the image, interests and integrity of racing.” The charge is identical to the one Australian great Damien Oliver faced in November 2012, when he was disqualified for 10 months for pleading guilty to placing $10,000 on another runner, which won, in a race in which he rode the beaten favourite. Oliver came off disqualification late last year to win the Melbourne Cup on Fiorente. Walker failed to profit from his alleged efforts – Watch Your Man finished eighth, 6.3 lengths from the winner, Stella Bella, and the best St Ransom could do was fourth, 3.6 lengths from the winner. - APNZ

Legendary halfback Nick Farr-Jones hopes the Wallabies’ thrashing by New Zealand was just an aberration, but has ongoing concerns about their scrum. The Wallabies’ 1991 World Cup-winning captain felt the current team had been trending in the right direction before last weekend’s 51-20 thrashing by the All Blacks in Auckland. He supported coach Ewen McKenzie who, before the Eden Park defeat, had overseen an eightmatch unbeaten run. “I believe that Ewen is the man to take this team forward. I think he will build spirit and culture,” Farr-Jones said. “I think that he will build depth and strength in this team. Let’s hope Saturday was an aberration. But at least one positive in my view out of Saturday night is he - and the team - now understand where the benchmark is and the work they have to do.” The scrum remains an issue for Farr-Jones. “I keep coming back to what we might say is the achilles heel of Australian rugby over the last decade, that our scrum can be vulnerable,” Farr-Jones said. “As a halfback who fed a million scrums, I know that if it’s going backwards, it’s very tough psychologically and to play in time and space. “They (New Zealand) scored two tries against us from rolling mauls off set play. We have to get the fundamentals of our game right before we worry about the smaller things and the finer things. “Execution is going to be critical; personnel is going to be critical. “Working their bums off to make sure that they improve those set phases of play is going to be critical if we’re going to be competitive in a year’s time (at the World Cup).” Australia’s other World Cup-winning skipper, lock John Eales, felt the Wallabies’ starting XV still had to be settled on. - AAP

After a sparkling start to the Heartland Championship, Mid Canterbury’s Dwayne Burrows is poised for a big season. Burrows was in flying form in the opener against the West Coast where he produced plenty of his trademark strong runs from centre and scored a hattrick. He leads the try scoring tally after round one but doesn’t care who scores the tries as long as the team is going well. “As long as we get that W,” Burrows said. He returned to the Hammers last year after a season in the Bay of Plenty and was a strong performer in the run to the Meads Cup victory, topped off by selection to the New Zealand Heartland XV. This year Burrows returned again, classed as a loan player

after he went south to pursue a place in the Otago ITM Cup squad. Playing for the Taieri Club, which took out the Dunedin competition this year, Burrows was on the fringe of making Tony Brown’s Otago squad but missed out on the final cut. “I trained with them all year but at the end I was made redun-

dant I guess. “They wanted me to play Otago B but let me become a loan player as long as if someone gets injured they can call me back into the squad. So it worked out well.” He has returned in good form and feels like a better player for his experience. “I feel like I’ve matured more

as a player and developed, and gotten fitter which has helped me a lot.” When the Hammers met the Bush in Ashburton last year, Burrows produced a matchwinning double in the final 10 minutes, and although the Hammers proved last week they are an 80-minute team, they would love to put their opponents away earlier. “Hopefully it can happen at the start of the game. We seem to always drop off in the first half which is something we really need to work on. “We back our fitness and won’t roll over but if we can play the full 80 we can dominate any team. “In the second half everyone was making breaks and the team fitness really helped us. “Murray [Williams] is all class and makes me look really good which is pretty handy.”

The Hammers have the classy Williams at 10 and while the Bush lost the reliable boot of Glen Walters, another Heartland XV player last year, they have gained former Canterbury pivot Sam Monaghan, who will be the danger man today. Mid Canterbury made the trip without flanker Gary Redmond, left at home as a precaution following a head knock against the West Coast, with captain and expectant father Jon Dampney scheduled to fly up this morning, as long as partner Hayley Bennett shows no signs of going into labour. The Bush will be fired up to deliver, after a shocking performance in their opening loss to King Country, but Mid Canterbury can make a statement towards their intention to defend the Meads Cup, with an away win over a touted title contender today.

ses win against Bush Top season for Houston By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury ex-pat Jesse Houston has completed another big rugby season at Christchurch Boys’ High School. The Year 12 student was in his second year in the prestigious Christchurch Boys’ High School 1st XV, predominantly starting at number eight. “It’s been pretty good,” Houston said. “I’ve played at number eight mostly but I struggled with injuries for the last month.” The niggling injuries didn’t stop him from helping Boys’ High to the Crusaders Secondary Schools’ rugby title, beating Nelson College 27-13 last weekend. “Going into it we were pretty confident but we knew that Nelson would give it a real good shot. It was amazing winning it with the whole school running on. It was a really special occasion.” He scored 14 tries during the 17-week season and the final victory, the school’s eighth championship win, completed an unbeaten season. Houston hopes he can help guide the team to back-to-back titles next year. “I’ll be back next year definitely to finish school and get my education as well as play rugby and maybe some leadership opportunities. “I passed with excellence endorsement last year and hope-

SOUTHLAND Mark Jackman will start on the right wing for Southland in the clash of the Highlanders franchise unions, as the Stags host Otago in Invercargill today. After a shock loss to Mid Canterbury in pre-season, the Stags are off to a good start with wins over Bay of Plenty and North Harbour, while Otago come of a narrow loss in the Ranfurly Shield challenge with Counties. The Stags have named their top line-up for the local derby. Following the loss of hookers Jason Rutledge and David Hall to ending injuries former All Black Andrew Hore joined the Stags squad as injury cover at hooker following Tua Tuapati’s injury against North Harbour but Tuapati will start today.

pat Houston is eligible for the Mid Canterbury Under 18s but has been named in the Canterbury Metro squad. “They’ve named a squad of 50-odd players that will get split into Metro A and Development teams for the South Island tournament.” He has no higher honours than that on his radar this year, however he has big goals next year. “Next year I’ll try my hardest to push for the New Zealand Secondary Schools or the

Barbarians team and get my name out there.” His older brother, Todd, was selected to the New Zealand under 17 squad in 2011 and had returned to play for Rakaia this year before a season ending injury. Jesse’s eldest brother Sam is in the Mid Canterbury Heartland team, starting at openside flanker against Wairarapa Bush in Masterton today after he made his debut in the Ranfurly Shield Challenge against Counties Manukau in July.

TASMAN The Tasman Makos meet Auckland at Eden Park tomorrow looking to keep their unbeaten record alive, without prop Tim Perry. The Makos are two-from-two with big wins over the bays – Hawke’s Bay and Bay of Plenty – heading into the clash with Auckland who bounced back from a big loss to Canterbury to secure a bonus point win over Manawatu. Perry has to sit out the match against Auckland after a stomping incident against the Steamers, replaced by Siua Halanukonuka. Tasman’s continued success may rest on first five Marty Banks who is averaging over 20 points a match with the reigning ITM Cup Championship winners who sit second on the ladder behind defending champions Canterbury. Auckland, however, have the services of All Blacks Charles Piiutau, Charlie Faumuina and Steven Luatua.

An ex-All Black returns to his roots when Poverty Bay assistant coach Rico Gear takes the field against North Otago in Oamaru today. Gear, 36, will play at fullback for the Reds against the Old Golds in what will be his 11th appearance for the union after making his debut against King Country in 1997. He went on to play 19 All Black tests before heading overseas but fulfils the promise of returning to play for the union today. Poverty Bay also secured the services of former New Zealand Maori representative Jake Paringtai, who will pack down at the back of the scrum, and Tau Moeke, a Meads Cup winner with Wanganui and East Coast, returned to the union this year. They were thumped 0-71 by Wairarapa Bush in pre-season but kicked off their campaign with an emphatic 52-12 win over East Coast. Poverty Bay, last year’s wooden spooners, have gone from rank outsiders at the TAB, paying $50 to win the Meads Cup, dropping down to an $8 option. Their opponents and the 2013 runners up, North Otago, had the distinction of losing to Buller for the first time in the competition, 9-17 in Westport after former Mid Canterbury import, James Lash, landed four penalties. The Old Golds have had the wood on Poverty Bay in the past but last week showed history counts for nothing. Elsewhere the wounded West Coast look to bounce back against the surprising South Canterbury in Greymouth, with the Coalpit Trophy on the line –a trophy donated by rugby historian Jeremy Sutherland after he found the two unions had played for 101 years without a trophy at stake. The wayward Wanganui face a crucial match in just the second week of the competition when they host Horowhenua Kapiti, East Coast are home to Buller and Thames Valley take on King Country.

Alker’s round, which included five birdies and two costly double bogeys, left him in a share of 57th place yesterday, seven strokes back from leader Ryan Blaum. Alker has secured his PGA Tour card for next year but the fourtournament finals series is an opportunity for him to boost his priority ranking for the 2014-2015 PGA Tour and earn extra money. - APNZ

Walsh sixth Tom Walsh has finished sixth in his final Diamond League meeting of the season, throwing 20.48m at the Weltklasse meeting in Zurich, Switzerland. Walsh threw his longest in the competition on the first throw of the night, but couldn’t improve over the next five attempts. The 22-year-old from Timaru had the satisfaction of beating double Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski from Poland once again and former world champion Christian Cantwell (USA). The competition was won by Reese Hoffa (USA) with 21.88 from David Storl (GER) 21.47 and Joe Kovas (USA) 21.43. - APNZ

Captain Rooney Despite an often tempestuous relationship with fans and past concerns over his temperament, Wayne Rooney has received the symbolicallyprestigious honour of captaining England. Taking over the leadership of an inexperienced squad that is recovering from the national team’s worst-ever World Cup, Rooney knows the rebuilding process requires unity. “I hope that I will have the full backing of the fans,” Rooney said Thursday. “I am their type of player once I am on that pitch.” Rooney is no stranger to controversy, though, including indiscretions about his personal life that have left the Manchester United player frustrated. - AP

Erakovic lost to Russian, Elena Vesnina 7-5 2-6 6-2 in two hours 27 minutes after looking comfortable in the first set at 5-2 ahead. However the Russian then won her own serve to love and then stormed back into the match winning five games in a row to take the set and then the first game of the second set as well. Erakovic then seemed to find her feet winning the set with relative ease as she broke her opponents serve four times. “It’s a tough loss. I think at that stage I was content to hit those balls back that was the error for me. She got into the game more and got a rhythm,” said Erakovic. “I felt I managed to get those balls back and rally with her. She took her chances and played more smart. I did my best to put it on my racquet.” Played in warm conditions with a breeze across the court both players held serve in the opening games of the final set

Erakovic was able to add one more game to her tally before Vesnina wrapped up the contest 6-4 in the final sets. Erakovic had been hoping to continue her run at the tournament where she beat former champ Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round, her first singles victory at the US Open. “It’s definitely a tough one today. I had my chances but also gave myself a chance. It’s a learning curve. In the last three or four years I don’t think I’ve been as well in the mental game.” In the doubles Mike Venus secured a win with his partner Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 6-2 3-0 retired over Spain’s Feliciano Lopez and Juan Monaco.

Manawatu wins Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Wellington, it has. The Lions suffered shock losses to Waikato and Northland to begin the ITM Cup but in perhaps the biggest upset of the season to date, they were tipped over 27-21 by Manawatu at Westpac Stadium last night. Wellington were able to call upon All Blacks TJ Perenara and Jeremy Thrush for the game but even they couldn’t stop the demise. Balls were dropped by both sides with an alarming regularity, while Wellington managed to butcher three golden scoring opportunities during a dire first half, which saw the sides go to the break locked up at 6-6. - APNZ

No weather worries for Shuka

Peter and Dawn Williams have Shuka ready to resume in the Makfi Challenge Stakes at Hastings today. PHOTO RACE IMAGES CHRISTCHURCH

The weather has been a talking point leading into this season’s Group One opener at Hastings, but it’s not been a constant topic of conversation in one camp. Peter and Dawn Williams have the versatile Shuka ready to resume in the Makfi Challenge Stakes today and the state of the going hasn’t unduly concerned the Byerley Park training duo. “It’s a very strong field, but he’s an excellent horse fresh and he goes on all tracks,” Peter Williams said. “He’s as good as we can get him at this stage and we haven’t needed to trial him – he’s had a

couple of special gallops. “Everything’s well with the horse and he’s up a bit earlier this year, usually he doesn’t get going until October, but you have to go where the good racing is.” Shuka has been around the Group One scene from his threeyear-old days when he finished a close fifth in the NZ 2000 Guineas and last year he broke through at the top level when he beat Viadana in the Captain Cook Stakes. He was subsequently runnerup to Costume in the Herbie Dye Stakes and was turned out after

he ran fifth under 59.5kg in the Easter Handicap. Shuka will be reunited at Hastings with Mark Du Plessis, who has ridden the gelding four times previously for wins in the Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup and in the Te Aroha Cup. Plans for the Bachelor Duke six-year-old beyond the Makfi are uncertain, with Williams to confirm a programme after the weekend. “I haven’t made any decisions and he’ll tell me where he is on Saturday and where we’re going,” he said. – NZ Racing Desk

Crafts by locals for locals By GeorGia Weaver

Editorial.s@thEguardian.co.nz

A new co-operative gift shop has opened in The Triangle on Victoria Street. Rei Couch opened PoppySmic at the end of July with five others, each of whom helps run the shop and contribute their hand-made work to it. Miss Couch began making crafts when she started homeschooling one of her sons to help reduce his anxiety. She and her three children relocated to Ashburton after their home was destroyed

in the February 2011 earthquake. She started selling her crafts at markets and welcomed the positive response. She approached five other people who were also selling their items there and they all agreed to be a part of the new shop. “All our crafts are affordable, unique and hand-made by locals,” Miss Couch said. She describes herself as an “erratic crafter” because she makes a broad range of gifts and prefers one-offs. Her “shabby-chic” creations include owls, toy monsters

and clothing. “We make gifts and necessities mostly,” Miss Couch said. Each member rents a space in the shop to display their work. “It’s like five or six markets in one shop. People love it.” Miss Couch said she would like to start teaching craft in spring and already has a number of people who are keen to join. She wants to get adults, as well as children involved, and said people had a particular interest in making crochet blankets.

Asian equity markets showed the strongest regional gains, reflecting investor confidence that China’s renewed fiscal stimulus activity is proactively managing the risks that are present in their economy. In Australia, resource stocks were assisted by this improved Chinese sentiment, but gains were also made across other parts of the market. The financial sector was the biggest driver of the ASX200 index as Australian investors continued to buy higher yielding stocks. New Zealand equities had a quieter quarter on lower turnover, with the market contending with a large number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), as well as a further tightening of monetary conditions by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) and weaker commodity prices.

policy tightening was in line with expectations; however indications are that any further rise in the Official Cash Rate (OCR) is unlikely before the end of the year. Accordingly, while the increase in July contributed to increases in short-term interest rates, the moderated outlook for the cash rate meant the New Zealand dollar did depreciate slightly against most currencies over the quarter. Lower dairy and log prices have also contributed to some weakness in the New Zealand dollar. Declines in longer-term interest rates were driven by global trends. The difference between shorter and longer-term interest rate movements has resulted in a flatter yield curve, with investors now receiving less yield pick-up for investing in longerdated instruments. Better United States economic data and inflation beginning to emerge also suggests that the low point in longer-term interest rates is now behind us. Recent new bond issues have been well sought after and we expect similar demand with any new issues.

conomic data over the last quarter still supports a recovering global economic outlook, with the United States and the United Kingdom showing the strongest gains. United States leading indicators were up for the fifth straight month, while United Kingdom gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the June quarter was the strongest since 2007. China also improved, with the renewed fiscal stimulus in the June quarter emphasising their commitment to maintaining a minimum level of ongoing economic growth. Europe remains the laggard and while economic data indicates improving manufacturing activity, credit growth continues to fall and the outlook is mixed across the various individual countries. Deterioration in the Ukraine and the increased sanctions being applied to Russia have also weighed on sentiment, particularly given the risk of potential gas shortages in the coming winter. Accordingly, supportive monetary policies are expected to remain in place for longer with the increased risk to activity leading to a contraction in longer-term interest rates. Global equity markets have tended to reflect local economic conditions, with European stocks being weaker but United States stocks continuing to post gains. United States stocks were

OUR VIEW

Hear a siren and thank a volunteer Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

very day, sometimes several times each day, sirens echo around Ashburton streets and along rural roads. And every time those sirens are heard and an emergency vehicle hits the road, there are men and women who have put their lives on hold to help people whose lives have temporarily gone wrong. Most of those manning emergency vehicles do so without pay and without seeking recognition. And it’s that generosity of spirit that deserves recognition and celebration. Unlike many parts of New Zealand, the Ashburton District is rich in volunteers when it comes to ambulance and fire services. While those two organisations struggle to fill crews in some parts of the country, we appear to have few gaps in our ranks and it’s easy to take that for granted. In Fairlie, where many people live a long way from any medical assistance, St John has been their lifeline. But for the small team of volunteers holding that service together, the work has become too much and several have resigned, leaving the service desperately short on personnel. In Ashburton we have a nucleus of paid, full time St John ambulance crew, but that’s supplemented by 15 volunteers. Without them, the paid staff would struggle to meet the demand for services that average more than 75 call-outs a week. Ashburton’s fire service is the busiest volunteer brigade in the country and at more than 400 calls a year, that places a huge load on the lives of the 30 heroes who run their lives around ensuring there are always enough people on call to deal with a major fire in their community. The fire service’s workload is increased significantly by the growing number of calls made to assist St John staff. How long our fire service can continue to run on goodwill is anyone’s guess and while a service review is under way you have to ask – why tamper with something if it’s not broken.

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

he South Island may be known around these parts as “the Mainland”, but the 1000 scientists descending on Auckland last week had their sights set on even higher latitudes: Antarctica. New Zealand hosted the biennial Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) conference from August 2528, attracting glaciologists, biologists, geologists and astrophysicists from all around the globe. Their talks had titles that mentioned sub-glacial lakes, penguin guano, and alien invasions, but all had the frozen continent in common. Often depicted as an icy wasteland, Antarctica is in fact a treasure trove of information about our planet’s past. Uncovering that knowledge via fossil records, ice cores and microbiology can help scientists to understand the world we live in and to predict what will happen far into the future. While Antarctica’s very low precipitation rate means it is technically a desert, the kilometres of ice that coat the continent hide a labyrinth of subglacial lakes and rivers. These cold, dark lakes have been isolated for thousands of years, which, as Trista Vick-Majors from Montana State University explained, make them “great analogue environments for life on other planets”. Research undertaken in Antarctica can therefore tell us both about our own planet, and others in our wider solar system. Alien invasions also got a mention at the conference, but in a much more local context. Using the words ‘alien’ and ‘Antarctica’ in the same sentence may bring to mind images from John Carpenter’s film The Thing, but the introduction of non-native species to Antarctica from other parts of the world is a real threat. Those ‘aliens’ include seeds, insects, and – arachnophobes beware – spiders. Melissa Houghton presented a poster with her findings that a total of seven house spiders were detected at Australia’s

Antarctic stations in the season studied, much to the horror of the scientists who had headed south in the hope of avoiding any encounters with eightlegged critters during their six to18 month stays. Remote sensing offers one way to find out more about Antarctica without going to very out-of-the-way places, reducing both research costs and the risk of introducing pests such as the dreaded spider. Dr Wolfgang Rack from the University of Canterbury travels to Scott Base each summer to make measurements of sea ice thickness using the EM-bird, a torpedo-shaped device that is suspended beneath a helicopter and emits electromagnetic pulses. When the pulses hit water beneath the sea ice they send back a signal, allowing his team to measure sea ice thickness without manually drilling through the ice in every location. Satellites are also a useful tool for measuring the extent of the annual Antarctic sea ice,

for creating detailed maps, and even for helping penguin biologists to determine what the birds have been eating. Although science and narrative are often thought of as polar opposites, a central theme of this Antarctic conference was communication. Science is the currency of Antarctica, as the Antarctic Treaty of 1961 designates the continent as a place for peace and science, but that research does not happen in a vacuum. Instead, the public are important stakeholders. When many maps simply stop at 60 degrees south, however, Antarctica is simply not on their radar. Paul Morin is trying to change that, and has worked with a team to add several Antarctic sites to Google Streetview. It is now possible to take a tour of Scott’s hut or the US McMurdo Station from the comfort of your own home and gain an insight into the history and science. The next SCAR meeting will take place in two years in Kuala

Lumpur, but the upcoming summer Antarctic field season is fast approaching.

The upcoming Icefest will incorporate displays about much of the scientific work presented at the SCAR conference. www.iceberg.co.nz Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System. Twelve nations signed the treaty in 1961, including New Zealand, who are known as the “original signatories”. Several annexes have been added over the years, including CCAMLR to govern fishing in the Southern Ocean, CCAS to protect Antarctic seals, and the Environmental Protocol, which prohibits mineral resource prospecting. To date over 50 nations have acceded to the Antarctic Treaty System, illustrating the growing interest in the southern continent.

Ben Panangian, 32, allegedly arrived by motorbike at his friend’s Nusa Dua home on August 20 as police were raiding the address for drugs. A police report says he tried to run from the scene and threw an item on the ground, which was found to be hashish. When police searched the Kuta room he rents, they allegedly found more marijuana in his cupboard. Corby, 37, is free on parole in Bali under the condition she stay away from drugs and crime. Parole board boss Ketut Artha says officers will now watch the convicted drug smuggler more closely. - AAP

Alarm over Russian troops Ukraine and the West say Russian troops are actively involved in the fighting tearing apart the east of the country, raising fears of a direct military confrontation between Kiev and its former Soviet master. US President Barack Obama led a chorus of international condemnation over the escalating crisis, saying it was “plain for the world to see” that Russian forces were fighting in Ukraine. Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that Russia’s actions “cannot remain without consequences” as the US and Europe raised the prospect of fresh sanctions against Moscow. “Russia has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity

of Ukraine, and the new images of Russian forces inside Ukraine make that plain for the world to see,” Obama said on Thursday. “This ongoing Russian incursion into Ukraine will only bring more costs and consequences for Russia.” The US and the European Union have already imposed a series of punishing sanctions on Russia over the crisis, the worst stand-off between Moscow and the West since the Cold War. Merkel said European leaders would discuss possible new measures against Moscow at a summit in Brussels on Saturday. At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in New York, US envoy Samantha

Power demanded that Russia “stop lying” over the conflict. “Russia has to stop lying and has to stop fuelling this conflict,” Power said. “The mask is coming off. We see Russia’s actions for what they are: a deliberate effort to support and now fight alongside illegal separatists in another sovereign country.” Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko described the situation as “extremely difficult”, but “manageable for us not to panic”, as security chiefs announced that mandatory army conscription would resume in the autumn. NATO said at least 1000 Russian troops were on the ground supporting pro-Kremlin separatists who have been fighting against Kiev’s rule since April.

A senior Ukrainian diplomat earlier decried the move as a “direct invasion” but Moscow again insisted none of its soldiers were on Ukrainian soil. US officials nevertheless accused Russian troops of being behind a lightning counter-offensive that has seen pro-Moscow rebels seize swathes of territory from government forces, dramatically turning the tide in the four-month conflict. Kiev said Russian soldiers had seized control of a key southeastern border town and a string of villages in an area where fighting had been raging for days. The US ambassador to Kiev, Geoffrey Pyatt, wrote on Twitter that Moscow’s troops were now “directly involved in the fighting” in Ukraine. - AFP

43 UN peacekeepers seized in Syria Syrian armed groups, some of whom are linked to al Qaeda, have captured 43 UN peacekeepers on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights and surrounded 81 others, the UN says. The 43 peacekeepers from Fiji were forced to surrender their weapons and taken hostage near the Quneitra crossing yesterday, but 81 Filipino blue helmets “held their ground” and refused to disarm, the Filipino defence department said. “This resulted in a stand-off which is still the prevailing

situation at this time, as UN officials try to peacefully resolve the situation,” said the statement from Manila. Fiji army chief BrigadierGeneral Mosese Tikoitoga said the captured peacekeepers were all safe, and asked people in the Pacific nation to pray that they are released unharmed. “(The) men are safe and well even, though they are detained by armed rebels in the Golan region,” he told reporters in the capital Suva. Syrian rebels, including fighters from the al-Qaeda affiliate

Al-Nusra Front, stormed the crossing at Quneitra on Thursday, sparking an exchange of gunfire with Israeli troops. Quneitra is the only crossing between the Syrian and the Israeli-controlled side of the strategic plateau. The UN Security Council “strongly condemned” the detention of the 43 and the “surrounding of positions” manned by the 81 other peacekeepers, by “terrorist groups and by members of non-state armed groups”. The council demanded the

“unconditional and immediate release of all the detained United Nations peacekeepers” and urged countries with influence to help win their release. The 81 Filipino troops were locked in a stand-off near Ar Ruwayhinah and Burayqah, while the Fijian soldiers were taken to the southern part of the buffer zone, UN officials said. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said it was unclear which group had staged the attacks. - AFP

The death toll from a landslide that destroyed a Chinese village has risen to 15, state media reports. Half of a 600-metre high knoll near Fuquan city in the southwestern province of Guizhou broke free and “wiped out a majority of the village” at its base, the official Xinhua news agency said yesterday. Rescue workers were still trying to extract survivors from the debris, it added. A total of 77 houses were destroyed. - AFP

Quake hits Greece A 5.7-magnitude earthquake has hit the southern Greek Peloponnese, the national earthquake observatory says, with no immediate reports of injury or damage. The “very strong” quake hit yesterday with its epicentre recorded between the Peloponnese and the island of Milos, 145 kilometres south of Athens. The Greek authorities said there were no reports of injuries or material damage. - AFP

Swine flu in prison Swine flu has been detected in a Victorian prison, sending five prisoners into lockdown. The inmates have been isolated in their cells at the medium security Marngoneet Correction Centre near Geelong after testing positive to swine flu. A Corrections Victoria spokesman said their movements had been restricted to prevent the spread of the illness and their health is being monitored. - AAP

Volcano erupts A volcano has erupted in eastern Papua New Guinea, spewing rocks and ash into the air and forcing the evacuation of local communities, seismologists and reports say. Mount Tavurvur, which destroyed the town of Rabaul when it erupted simultaneously with nearby Mount Vulcan in 1994, rumbled to life early on Friday morning on the tip of the island of New Britain. “The eruption started slow and slowly developed in a Strombolian (low level) eruption with incandescent projections accompanied by explosion noises and ongoing loud roaring and rumbling noises,” the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory said. The Australian government issued a warning against travelling to the area. - AFP

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) With your financial passions and fighting spirit engaged and a clear sense of what you’re fighting for trust what your financial instincts are telling you. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Powerful relationship forces come with a need to keep it real, with knowing what you’re really fighting for more important than ever. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) It may be the weekend but there’s a need to keep your work hat on, even if it’s just paying attention to your emotional and intuitive responses. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) No matter how many things on your ‘to do’ list make this a weekend for remembering to have fun and to balance lessons of the past. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While the weekend is always going to be a good time to catch up on home and family matters it also needs to be where you recharge your batteries. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) A focus on communication over the weekend puts the focus on saying the words you need to express and hearing the words you want or need to hear. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) A nose for money kicks in just when you have the power to move mountains if you have to and to smash your way through any glass ceilings. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With life presenting many demands and distractions there is a need to not only focus on your own needs and priorities but define what they are. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Languid lunar vibes bring a chance to take time out to relax, unwind, chill out and recharge your batteries, creating a lazy weekend vibe. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Catching up with friends is going to give you a chance to redefine what you need from your friendships and from your social life in general. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) If you keep your professional hat on over the weekend make it about keeping your finger on the pulse, ear to the ground and imagination engaged. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Adventurous lunar vibes make it easier to tap into a passion for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences, while challenging your excuses.
