Record council surplus

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For the Ashburton District Council the past year was a record breaker.

Its end of year balance sheet showed an $18.3 million surplus, almost double that achieved in the previous year.

At the same time its asset base hit a new high, with total equity rising to $657 million ($616 mil-

lion last year).

Its annual report showed a revenue that was $12.89 million above budget with vested assets, forestry income and property sales bringing in significantly higher income than anticipated.

It also had a comprehensive income gain of $21.9 million that was largely a result of the revaluation of its infrastructural assets.

And while that result pleased mayor Angus McKay, the surplus had to be taken in context; it was not money the council would keep in its coffers, he said.

“Inevitably people will comment on this surplus but the council has on-going projects and if any of those are delayed, payments are not made so that money becomes part of the surplus.”

Contracts that had not been completed on time also contributed to the surplus but so too did prudent financial management by council staff, Mr McKay said.

“We are in a very good position to move ahead and complete our major projects.

“Any council would love to be in our position, but I do assure people that our profit is spoken for.”

The past year had been one of significant change both in terms of its mix of councillors following last October’s local body elections and in the direction and focus of the council as a whole, but it had more than achieved its financial goals for the year, he said.

The All Blacks ‘blackest jersey’ The white collar has been dropped and it’s gunmetal silver for numbers and logos.

Revealed overnight in London, the new All Blacks strip will see the boys running out against England at Twickenham in the “blackest jersey ever” this weekend.

The flash new threads have taken more than two years to develop and are expected to take the team through to next year’s Rugby World Cup in the UK. Made from woven carbon fabric, the uniforms have been designed to accommodate player movement as well as hold their shape – ensuring our top rugby men can pull off all their on-field moves. Skipper Richie McCaw said the new outfits, which involved input from a raft of senior players during development, had been given a thumbs up by the team.

Drew Barrymore stuns commuters Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore stunned train passengers in New York City by riding the subway and giving herself a manicure in front of a carriage full of commuters. The Charlie’s Angels star turned heads by shunning luxury travel and joining city workers on a packed train in Manhattan. Barrymore then shocked onlookers by whipping out her beauty kit and painting her nails while sitting in the train car. The actress posted a picture of her impromptu manicure on her Instagram.com page, adding in a caption, “#commuterbeauty @flowerbeauty #nailedit (sic).”

Barrymore has her own cosmetics range called Flower Beauty.

Please don’t pee on the royal palace If you’re caught short on Amsterdam’s historic Dam Square, the Dutch government has a message for you: Don’t pee on the palace. The Dutch royal family uses the stately Royal Palace in downtown Amsterdam as a working palace, not a residence. But the building’s dark arches provide a favoured spot for urination, often at night, out of sight of police who regularly patrol the palace vicinity.

After a multimillion-euro renovation ended in late 2011, people began urinating against the palace’s sandstone facade. That prompted authorities to put up a fence. But the Interior Ministry yesterday called the fence “unworthy” of the historic location. It is now installing lights and movement sensors to deter people from relieving themselves. The government also warned that peeing in public is punishable by a $NZ225 fine. If those measures don’t work, authorities are considering installing a urinal near the palace that rises out of the ground at night and sinks back below the sidewalk during the day.

Jay Z buys French brand Hip-hop mogul Jay Z has shown his fondness for Armand de Brignac Champagne for years and has now bought the brand. New York-based wine and spirits company Sovereign Brands said it was selling it to Jay Z for an undisclosed amount. Armand de Brignac is produced by a staff of eight people at the Cattier family house in the French town of Chigny-les-Roses, with the golden bottles bearing an ace-ofspades insignia. While the winemaking house was established in 1763, the Armand de Brignac line was launched in 2006 – the year it was discovered by Jay Z, who featured the champagne in his video for Show Me What You Got. Yvonne Lardner, a spokeswoman for Sovereign Brands, said that the company has had a “wonderful relationship” with Jay Z. “He became interested in owning the brand and made us an offer we simply couldn’t refuse,” she said. In one high-profile incident, Jay Z brought out a display of 350 bottles of Armand de Brignac in 2012 when he and his wife Beyonce threw a fundraising party for President Barack Obama at a New York nightclub.

The giant presentation was quickly covered up, with Obama’s reelection campaign presumably concerned about the optics of appearing around $NZ390-a-bottle champagne bottles. The acquisition is the latest business venture for Jay Z.

Manson, Von Teese reunite Former couple Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese reunited to make a cameo appearance in a bizarre new video from controversial South African duo Die Antwoord. The burlesque star, who divorced Manson in 2007, appears topless in the promo for Ugly Boy while writhing around with the group’s frontman, Ninja. Ninja, real name Watkin Tudor Jones, shocks in the clip as he raps while wearing an afro-style wig with his face painted black. British supermodel Cara Delevingne also makes an appearance, smoking a suspicious-looking hand-rolled cigarette, while Hollywood funnyman Jack Black is seen puffing on a large cigar as he stands beside Yo-Landi Vi$$er, the group’s female singer. Die Antwoord have caused controversy in the past when their video for Fatty Boom Boom featured a man wearing Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress being hunted by African rebels and mauled by a lion.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT’S HOUSING MARKET

Relocated homes ‘cost half the price’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If you’re after a new home, but you’re strapped for cash, relocating a home out of Christchurch’s earthquake-damaged red zones could be your answer, an Ashburton house removals expert says.

Since the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, Clancy Jessep has moved dozens of

homes from Christchurch to new sites around the South Island, with upwards of 20 of those coming into the Ashburton District. He has several planned relocations into rural areas as well as more to come into Ashburton and Rakaia.

Currently he’s doing three houseloads each week and said the demand shows no sign of slowing.

For him, the relocation answers two problems – recycling rather than demolishing a home that is in good condition and providing an affordable option for cash-strapped home buyers.

“The cost of a home is the same as it was three years ago.

By the time you turn the key you’re in your house for about half the cost of a new build,” he said.

What might sound a simple and sensible solution, however, is anything but, Mr Jessep said.

The red tape and rules and regulations that change almost daily make removing those houses pretty difficult, he said.

“It’s a bit of a battle to be honest with Cera. We had a real good house the other day that we were going to pull out but in their wisdom they said they

were demolishing it. I’ve seen some really nice houses knocked down.”

While there hundreds of barely-damaged properties sitting on land that was now considered off-limits for housing, accessing those houses was not easy, with the line-up of potential buyers usually exceeding the number of houses available for relocation, he said,

Building boom not slowing

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District’s building boom shows no sign of slowing with a record number of 123 building consents currently in the processing system.

While November is traditionally a busy month for consent work, building services manager Michael Wong said this year the pace has cranked up several notches. And that has meant calling in staff from Waimakariri District Council to help out, he said.

And that’s been something of a role reversal for Ashburton, he said. Up until three months ago, Ashburton was assisting the Christchurch City Council with its building consent applications.

Among the 123 consents currently being processed, there are 39 for new homes, 27 for residential alterations and 22 for new commercial builds or for commercial building alternations.

There are also 11 consents in the pipeline for relocated homes, significantly up on previous year numbers.

For the year to date, the council has received 1117 building consent applications, 76 more than at the same time last year.

Up to the end of October, $127 million worth of consents had been issued.

In March the council gave ratepayers the option of lodging building consent applications through its website and this is steadily building as the preferred option for a growing number of people, Mr Wong said, with online applications now representing 20 per cent of the total number.

Electronic files were easier for staff to manage and could be sorted and processed more quickly, he said.

■ OCTOBER AVERAGE HIGH

House prices still upward bound House prices in Ashburton continue to inch up, hitting a new average high in October of $322,364.

Figures released by Quotable Value (QV) show a 0.3 per cent movement in prices over the past three months with prices lifting by 3.9 per cent over the past year.

After months of steadily rising values, Ashburton has lost

its place as one of the South Island districts where house prices are rising rapidly, with several areas having a threemonth price lift of more than 2 per cent.

Since the market peak in 2007, the Ashburton District’s homes have shown a 15.2 per cent lift in prices, an increase exceeded only by most areas of Christchurch, Waimakariri and Selwyn

in the South Island.

In many southern districts prices are now below those achieved in 2007, with the greatest decline in Marlborough, 11.7 per cent and Southland, 10.5 per cent.

Nationally the growth in residential property prices was at its slowest rate in two years over the past three months, up an average of 1.1 per cent.

Work begins on new site Ashburton’s Work and Income New Zealand clients will shortly be able to meet face-to-face with case workers, with a new base for the service set to open at the end of this month.

On September 1 two Winz staff members were shot and killed in the Ministry of Social Development’s Cass Street offices and since then the building has been closed.

Staff have been working from other locations in Ashburton but have not been holding face-to-face meetings with their clients.

While services have continued, clients wanting to meet with case workers have been required to travel to Timaru or Hornby while the MSD found an alternative site.

Vacant land in the Ashburton Police station compound has now been identified as the site for the MSD’s services with construction work on the modular buildings beginning

Fire in dryer A fire in a dryer prompted a callout for the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade on Wednesday night.

The fire was reported at a property on Dromore Methven Road, at around 5.30pm. Ashburton’s fire chief Alan Burgess said the occupants managed to get the dryer out of the house, limiting damage. “I’m not saying what’s caused this one, but people need to be aware that the lint traps need to be cleaned regularly,” Mr Burgess said.

Victim ‘really happy’ with community support

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Eric Johnston’s life was turned upside down after his home of more than a decade was destroyed by fire nearly two weeks ago.

Left with few possessions and living in a borrowed motor home, Mr Johnston was facing an uncertain future after discovering he had 10 days to vacate the Cochranes Road property he had rented for nearly 13 years.

“The first week was a bit of a shock, it can be quite emotional at times,” he said.

However, an outpouring of support from the Mid Can-

Never too late...

Aoraki Polytechnic adult student Lindsay Holland has gained his first academic qualification several decades after leaving high school.

The adult student recently finished a Diploma in Business – an achievement made even more special because Lindsay left secondary school with no formal qualifications.

“School wasn’t for me. I didn’t get School Certificate because I got offered a job and had to leave prior to sitting it.’’

Lindsay completed the course over four years while working for livestock firm Peter Walsh and Associates.

“Stepping back into a classroom after such a long time was hard work. I had no idea what to expect. The tutors were excellent and I soon learned what the requirements were.’’

For his first two papers Lindsay received a B and B+ grade respectively. He then found his groove and received As for the

Mr Chapman said he offered the house to Mr Johnston because he was “a hell of a good guy”.

“It’s not being used by anybody, it’s spare, it’s just something I can do to help,” he said.

Mr Johnston, a father of two, woke to find his home engulfed in flames just before midnight on October 24, after an electrical fault in an outside light sparked a blaze in the roof.

He was planning to stay in a motor home on the property for the foreseeable future, but was told by his landlord that

he would have to leave as the lack of power and water at the property made it unsanitary to continue living there.

Along with free accommodation, Mr Johnston has received donations of clothing, food, bedding and other items from Ashburton businesses and community groups.

A page on fundraising website givealittle has also raised nearly $900 for Mr Johnston.

Mr Johnston said he was “really happy” with the support he had received from the community.

“In a small town like this, everybody sticks together,” he said.

Charity concert Two talented young Mid Canterbury musicians are on the billing for the Midland Masonic Choir charity concert this weekend in the Ashburton College auditorium. They are Awa Timothy (Ashburton College) and Chelsea Klever-Muir (Mount Hutt College), who are among five high school pupils to receive $500 scholarships from the Masonic Lodge. The Midland Masonic Choir includes three members from Mid Canterbury. Money raised from the concert would benefit The Life Education Trust (Harold Club).

Lindsay paid tribute to the outstanding and supportive tutors for helping him achieve his goal.

“The course was relevant and useful. It’s been great for me.’’

The Diploma students were a mix of adult learners studying parttime and full-time students, Lindsay said.

“A highlight of the course was meeting the others on the course. I have made some good friends along the way.’’

When Lindsay started his Diploma he worked in administration at Peter Walsh and Associates. It was his boss who encouraged him to enrol at the polytechnic. Lindsay has since moved within the company to become a livestock agent. He also moved from Timaru to Oamaru, completing the last two papers at the polytechnic’s Oamaru campus.

■ MOUNT HUTT COLLEGE PRIZEGIVING

Dux overwhelmed

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mount Hutt College Year 13 pupil Irene Anderson was overwhelmed to be named dux at the school’s prizegiving last night.

The school hall stage became a familiar place for the top student, who had to walk onto it many times to receive a raft of academic awards. They included a national correspondence school accounting prize, prizes for chemistry, digital and visual communication, physics and mathematics with calculus.

Irene did not know where to begin to describe how she felt after the ceremony, and was overwhelmed with achieving dux. She admitted she had a cruisy attitude to study, however, and was not stressed about exams coming up. She said she liked to study for only a few hours at a time.

“It’s easy doing it in lots of little blocks instead of all at once,” she said.

A keen netball and tennis player, Irene is off to Canterbury University next year to

study engineering, and hopes to undertake a career in either civil or electrical engineering.

Close behind her on the academic excellence scale was Phoebe Fordyce, who attained the proxime accessit award.

She said she had had to work “really hard” throughout the year, and she appreciated her parents pushing her to study as hard as she could. She will begin a degree in law and arts at Canterbury next year.

Phoebe said she will be studying most of each day this coming exam period, and once exams were over would “sleep a lot”.

Top Year 12 student Mallory Oram said she had also had to work really hard to reach her goal of becoming the Year’s highest academically achieving student.

“It’s always been something I have really wanted to get,” Mallory said.

She was preparing herself for 10-hour days of study, but with long lunch breaks mixed in, throughout the coming exam

period. And for those students who walked away empty handed, college board member James McKenzie had words of comfort.

The Mt Hutt Ski Area manager told the gathering at the school hall, which was packed full, that he and his twin brother had the same upbringing, but he had won prizes at school while his brother had not. He went onto uni, his brother went into hospitality and did not become motivated academically until his 20s. However, his brother went on to huge success as a businessman.

Former student of the school Angus McKay was the guest speaker. He told students to make the most of opportunities which came their way, and whatever students take on, do their best and be prepared to change.

A new honour was added to the major awards list, the Matt Wallace Memorial Award for the best all round Year 11, and it was presented by the late Mr Wallace’s father Paul.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

$18.3m record surplus From P1 The council has a range of self-imposed debt limits and last year it stayed well under the threshold in all areas.

Interest payments to service external debt of $2.234 million were just 4.2 per cent of its total revenue (limit 10 per cent) and at 4.2 per cent, well within the 25 per cent limit of total rates.

Total rates are to be no greater than 1 per cent of the district’s capital value and the council achieved a rate to capital ratio of just 0.2 per cent.

Roading is the council’s largest single area of expenditure, with $11.8 million spent on the district’s 2610 kilometres

of roads and 212 kilometres of footpaths last year.

The council’s wage bill for the year was $9.188 million, up $600,000 on the previous year Over the past five years the council’s total assets have grown from $576 million in the year to June 30, 2010 to $710 million last year (23 per cent increase) while its public debt has grown from $38.5 million to $42.6 million, an increase of 10.6 per cent.

The percentage of public debt to total assets has fallen from 6.69 per cent to June 30, 2010 to 6 per cent last year.

This equates to $2772 per property.

Community Honours Awards 2014 The Ashburton District Council recognises the district’s outstanding community service volunteers through it’s Community Honours Awards.

Nominations are now open and forms are available from the Council website www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or from the Council offices at 5 Baring Square West, Ashburton.

Nominations close on Thursday, 13 November 2014.

Barefoot, enthusiastic as ever and dressed in dual animal print Astar – of Good Morning fame – dropped in to visit the service users and staff at Idea Services yesterday afternoon.

Astar showed everyone how to make different craft items including a shiny opal-like ring, a brooch and a butterfly fridge magnet.

“These look like darling little opals and soon I am going to turn it into something even better,” she said to the group, showing them how to make a ring out of the small stones.

Astar is well known for her craft and floristry skills and has been a regular on Television New Zealand’s Good Morning programme for many years.

“Crafts bring the goddess of creativity out, the goddess of craft hides behind the heart,” Astar said.

The service users, all 16 of them, appeared to have loved every second of Astar’s presentation. As did the staff,

“This is called bling, do you know about bling? The world needs more bling,” she said.

Astar asked everyone what they thought of the creations and reinforced they were easy enough for anyone to tackle. She also gave tips about safety and the use of hot glue along the way.

Service user Emma Woods presented Astar with flowers before she left and a group photo was taken.

Staff member Kay Johnstone said she thought Astar’s presentation was excellent. “She related to the service users and staff wonderfully, she made some of the service users blossom.”

Astar also showcased her craft skills at the sold out Farmlands Ladies Night last night.

The visit to Idea Services was organised by staff member Marie King, who attended the Ladies Night and emailed Astar to ask if she would like to visit as she knew she would be in town.

The president of the Methven Rodeo Club believes the event has a strong future, despite calls to ban rodeos completely.

Controversy erupted last week after the Huntly Rodeo was permanently cancelled over animal welfare breaches.

Public backlash over the cancellation of the event prompted supporters to start a Facebook page called Keep Rodeos in NZ, which attracted over 6700 ‘likes’ in nine days.

Methven Rodeo Club president Richard Mee labelled calls to shut down rodeos as “quite ridiculous”.

Mr Mee said the Methven Rodeo was run in a “totally different” way to the Huntly event, and the club was very strict on animal welfare breaches.

However, SAFE New Zealand executive director Hans Kriek has called for a complete ban on rodeos, as he believes the events are cruel to animals.

“Huntly will be the first of many closing down in years to come.”

Mr Kriek said the revised Code of Welfare for Rodeos, released at the end of October, was “ridiculous”, and he labelled rodeo events as “animal abuse practices”.

The changes to the Code of Welfare included a ban on pyrotechnics and sheep riding events.

Despite the controversy surrounding the Huntly event, Mr Mee was confident about the future of the Methven Rodeo.

“It’s a small minority who don’t like rodeo, but there’s 6000 people sitting on the bank,” he said, referring to the turnout at this year’s event.

Tomorrow is in very good hands Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

I

f you’re looking for inspiration, then you need go no further than any of the endof-year prizegiving ceremonies currently being held around the Ashburton District.

Each ceremony celebrates achievement, recognises individuals who have excelled or have been leaders among their peers.

But they do more than that; those ceremonies also celebrate the best there is in today’s young people.

They can’t all be winners, they can’t all receive awards, but most attending end-of-year events are success stories in their own right, they’re young people of whom we can be very proud.

All too often the picture painted of youth is that they’re lazy, scruffy, rude and totally unmotivated. While that might be true of a small group, they’re unfortunately the ones we see most often. The rest are far too busy working, studying, playing sport and being big contributors to school and family life.

Regardless of the era in which you were a teenager, the transition from child to adult is not easy. Your body and emotions are strangers, life is off kilter and at the same time the expectations of what you will be and do continue from home and school. Survival isn’t easy and there are no guarantees you’ll come out the end of the turmoil a well-rounded young adult.

If we think we had it tough, today’s kids have it much tougher. Yes, they have opportunities previous generations could not have imagined, but they also have pressures none of us would have wanted.

Sit through any of our secondary school award ceremonies, however, and it’s pretty clear that the majority of young people don’t just survive those teenage years, they thrive, grow and become their own individual success stories.

Attend one of those ceremonies and feel proud of our young people and the parents who raised them. It’s obvious this country’s future is in very good hands.

A trip to N. Korea anyone?

ealous much! That’s exactly what Facebook can make you sometimes. Jealous!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to ditch it anytime soon.

It is an essential tool for my breakfast show, it is fantastic for getting almost instant feedback on topics that are at the forefront of your mind. Prime example of that was Tuesday’s 30+ comments on fireworks.

For the record, more than half were suggesting a ban selling them to the general public and have big public displays only.

But they didn’t have it all their own way, some were quite the opposite, in fact, like Peter: “Go ahead, keep taking the fun out of life with the PC crap this world has become part of.

Don’t take responsibility for teaching right from wrong about the use of fireworks, continue allowing legislation to be your excuse for not having the ability to parent correctly.”

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Rebekah added this: “I think you gotta live a little. There will always be people who don’t respect them who will find other things to blow up instead. I’ve always had fun with them and I’d like for my kids to be able to enjoy them with me when they are old enough.

I don’t think they should be banned.”

Before I digress completely, this week on Facebook I came across some photos that made me VERY jealous! They were Amanda Joyce’s photos from the New York Marathon. No not because she takes super photos and I wish I could.

No, not because I have always wanted to run the New

York Marathon, that is definitely not on my bucket list! I must say that Amanda should be very proud of her achievement though.

Just seeing those amazing NYC landmarks again made me green with envy. It is an awesome city! It’s my second favourite city from my US jaunt a couple of years ago and a close second behind Memphis.

Those photos got me to thinking about travelling and interesting destinations. And that led me to this….

North Korean vacation, anyone?

According to travel industry stats, the number of tourists visiting North Korea has increased by tenfold in the past 10 years. And that trend may continue as an agency that specialises in trips to the secret totalitarian state has set up an exhibit titled Experience North Korea at a UK travel show in

London.

The company’s CEO claims what makes travel to North Korea special is that it’s not a regular destination.

He says there are many misconceptions about the country, but in reality it’s safe and easy to visit. Tourism development expert Jeff Jarvis from Australia’s Monash University says: “This is a baby step in the right direction that could lead to better relations with the rest of the world.”

Imagine the look on people’s faces when you tell them that you are off for a few days’ R&R in North Korea.

In brief

■ UNITED STATES

Obama seeks ebola funds

By Andrew TAylor President Barack Obama yesterday asked Congress for $6.2 billion in emergency funds to confront ebola at its source in West Africa and to secure the United States against any possible spread.

Of the total, $2 billion would be apportioned to the United States Agency for International Development and $2.4 billion would go to the Department of Health and Human Services, the White House said.

More than $1.5 billion would be for a contingency fund to deal with any unanticipated developments like a flare-up in West Africa or a need to vaccinate US health care workers.

The ebola money is the first request from Obama in the aftermath of an election that ushered in a Republican-controlled Congress, which is being seen as a repudiation of the president.

The ebola crisis has received bipartisan attention amid concerns over the potential of the disease to spread into the United States.

The White House is asking for prompt action, meaning it wants approval during the current congressional session, while Democrats are still in control of the Senate.

It wants the money on an “emergency” basis, meaning it should be added to the deficit.

Republicans, if they agree the money is needed, may press for spending cuts elsewhere in the budget.

Republicans have been especially critical of the administration’s domestic response, criticising its co-ordination with states and questioning the

No 3D for the kids A French health watchdog has recommended that children under six be denied access to 3D films, computers and video games, and that those up to 13 have “moderate” access. The advice is based on a “pioneering” analysis of scientific research into the possible impacts of 3D imaging on the developing eye. ANSES pointed to an explosion of 3D technology in gadgets, now also in mobile phones. ANSES highlighted disruption in “vergence-accommodation” - when a person focuses both eyes on the subject they are looking at.

security measures it has put in place.

Still, less than a handful of cases have materialised in the United States.

One patient who contracted the disease in Liberia died in Dallas, two nurses who treated him became infected but eventually recovered and one doctor who returned from West Africa where he was treating ebola patients became sick and is now under care in a hospital in New York City.

The nearly $2 billion for USAID and $127 million for the Department of State would help carry out the US anti-ebola mission in West Africa.

More than $2.4 billion would go to HHS, but administra-

tion officials would not break down the request on the basis of what was to be used to fight the disease overseas and what was meant to boost defences in the United States.

The Pentagon would get about $112 million.

The $4.64 billion in immediate spending would be used to strengthen the public health system in the US, combat the epidemic in West Africa, and speed up the development and testing of vaccines and other therapies.

The money also would be used to help vulnerable foreign countries detect and respond to the disease.

The administration would establish more than 50 ebola

treatment centers throughout the country, procure safety suits, and more strictly monitor travellers on their arrival in the US. “My foremost priority is to protect the health and safety of Americans, and this request supports all necessary steps to fortify our domestic health system and prevent any outbreaks at home,” Obama said yesterday.

In making its case for the request, Obama faces a challenge of reassuring the public that ebola is a difficult disease to contract in the United States while at the same time insisting that stopping the virus at its West Africa source remains an urgent priority.

Singaporeans outraged by an electronics shop that left a Vietnamese tourist in tears after a phone-sale scam have raised thousands of dollars to compensate him, a crowdfunding site shows.

Factory worker Pham Van Thoai, 28, on Monday forked out $Sg950 to buy a new iPhone 6 in the Sim Lim Square electronics mall, long been known to victimise tourists.

But employees of the “Mobile Air” store refused to allow him to leave with the phone unless he paid an additional $Sg1500 in “warranty fees”. He was eventually given a partial refund of $Sg400, with no phone in hand, after police intervention.

A crowdfunding campaign launched on the Indiegogo portal to buy Pham an iPhone 6 reached $US11,000 yesterday.

Google guru Amit Singhal believes the search-engine of the future will be “a perfect personal assistant” knowing what you want and when.

Although people can travel to the moon’s surface without leaving their armchairs, search-engine developments so far are just “baby steps” to “the holy grail of search”, Singhal told news agency AFP in a rare interview. Singhal, 44, has already brought transformational change to the internet since taking over development of Google’s search engine in 2000, when the web was still relatively limited and achingly slow. The search engine of the future will be the “perfect personal assistant giving you benefit of all technical knowledge, enhancing your thought processes”, he said.

MH17 remains found More human remains from the MH17 crash will be taken out of Ukraine this weekend. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters in Canberra, after meeting with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, that investigators were able to access the crash site last week. “Luckily, conditions allowed a small team to visit the crash site and that will mean that we can again transfer to The Netherlands the found remains of victims following the usual ceremonial protocol that will take place on Saturday,” Mr Rutte said.

The Malaysia Airlines flight was downed over Ukraine in July, killing 298 people including 196 Dutch nationals and 38 Australians. - AFP

Rocker busted AC/DC fans have expressed dismay the band will never tour again after drummer Phil Rudd was arrested and charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill two people. The 60-year-old said nothing during a brief, shoeless appearance in a court in Tauranga yesterday afternoon.

He is charged with attempting to procure murder, threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis, following a police raid on his North Island home yesterday morning.

Fans took to the band’s website to express their concerns the charges against Rudd will stop any future tours and overshadow the group’s album Rock or Bust due out later this month. “Terrible shame really, shaping up to possibly be the best album in years, excitement running at fever pitch almost, and now this.

Hope it doesn’t distract what (Angus Young) and the boys have done with Rock or Bust,” wrote one on the AC/DCfans.net website. - AAP

Earnings ‘to be at lower end’ tamariki, cut operating costs by $30 million and avoided onetime expenditure it faced in 2013.

Chairwoman Joan Withers said the guidance “reflects assumptions on additional hydro and geothermal production and continued pressure on retail electricity pricing.”

“While we have a high degree of resilience in our business portfolio, there are some elements outside management control - such as hydrology and regulatory change - that could have a significant positive or negative impact on earnings,” she said.

MightyRiverPower yesterday announced it will pay a special dividend of 5 cents a share, or $70 million as part of its ongoing capital management review.

The company’s net debt stood at $1.03 billion at the end of the 2014 financial year, which was

Global reporting season is drawing to close with just a few companies left yet to report.

Of the S&P500 companies that have reported 76 per cent have beaten expectations, well above the historical average of 64 per cent. Expected earnings growth rate is currently at 7.1 per cent.

Europe continued to be plagued by less than favourable growth rates and disappointing data this week, although one tiny bright spot was a small rise in inflation.

The Eurozone has seen waning inflation for the last three years and dropped to an all time low of 0.3 per cent in September. October’s annualised inflation rate was slightly higher at 0.4 per cent, still very much below the targeted rate of 2 per cent.

The European Union cut annual growth rates for the currency bloc mid-week, chopping them from 1.7 per cent (the forecast growth rate in May) to only 0.8 per cent for 2014. The bleak outlook stems from the

large amount of slack in the Eurozone, as the legacy of the global financial crisis continues to linger.

The EU has said the stubbornly low inflation in conjunction with record high unemployment, are both challenges to growth in the region and could remain so for a while.

European stocks fell after the announcement.

Locally we had the latest GlobalDairyTrade auction, which saw an increase in the average dairy price. Many analysts hope that this is a sign of stabilising dairy prices as the rise of 0.3 per cent added to last auction’s 1.4 poer cent rise.

Whole milk powder, New Zealand’s largest export, saw a 1.6 per cent rise in prices to $2522 per tonne, however this is still short of Fonterra’s target.

Unemployment figures for New Zealand were also released this week showing a drop to 5.4 per cent, the lowest rate in over five years. Also of note from the Household Labour Force Survey showed an increase in the participation rate of 0.1 per cent and an expansion in the working age population as many Kiwis are returning as prospects here are brighter.

Pulled in different directions nvestors have had plenty of data to digest this week, as well as midterm elections in the US. The data resulted in mixed sentiment globally and pulled markets in varying directions. Both the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 indices in the US reached fresh all time highs, as did the NZX50 gross index.

Markets in Asia were mixed as Japan has soared while China has struggled. European markets have had a tough week, falling back as markets reeled from more negative data.

Japanese markets gained plenty of strength from the Bank of Japan’s announcement late last week, expanding its already generous stimulus package. The world’s third largest economy announced that it would increase its quantitative easing program from 60-70 trillion yen a year to 80 trillion. The expansion is in an effort to stimulate growth and to increase inflation which the country has been struggling with for 15 years.

The announcement saw the Yen fall significantly against the US dollar.

The key focus in the US this week was the midterm elections. Republicans seized control of the US Senate and retained control of the House of Representatives, leaving a lame duck President Barack Obama to contend with a Republicandominated Congress in his last two years in office.

Although expected it sparked

30-year bonds.

The company, which has an investment grade BBB+ credit rating with Standard & Poor’s, is also mulling another buyback on market, of about $50 million, over the next 12 months.

“These capital management initiatives will ensure the company retains its investment grade credit rating and provides sufficient headroom and flexibility for growth when these opportunities arise,” Meek said.

Shares of the power company rose 1.6 percent to $2.885 and have gained 33 percent this year.

The former state-owned enterprise stocks benefited from the National Party retaining the Treasury benches in the September general election, with opposition party plans to impose a central electricity buying agency introducing a level of risk to investors.

Mighty River Power, the first of the state-owned power companies to be partially privatised last year, said 2015 earnings will be at the lower end of guidance, reflecting a lack of water in the catchment of the Waikato River, where it runs nine hydroelectric stations.

Chief financial officer William Meek told shareholders at the Auckland-based company’s annual meeting that fullyear earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and fair value changes would be within the range it gave in August of $495 million to $520 million, “with a bias to the lower end of the range due to the continuation of a long trend of drier than normal conditions in the Waikato catchment.”

That compares with Ebitdaf of $504 million in 2014, when the company commissioned its new geothermal plant at Nga-

low heat until it froths. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes, until the onion is very soft. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and cook for another 10 minutes. Season as required.

Meanwhile, pat the steak dry with a paper towel, brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a pan over a high heat. Add the steak and cook for a couple of minutes until one side is browned and crunchy. Turn over and cook for another couple of minutes, or until done to your liking.

Transfer to a wooden board loosely covered with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes before carving into thin slices across the grain.

Heat a little oil in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme and cook for 5-10 minutes until soft.

Add the spinach and cook for another 5 minutes until most of the moisture has been evaporated. Stir through the mustard and parsley, and season as required.

■ Lightly toast the Turkish bread and spread with mayonnaise and/or relish.

■ Top with extra spinach leaves and then spoon some mushroom mixture on the base and add the cheese slices.

■ Cook under the grill for a few minutes to melt the cheese, then add some sliced steak, pickles and top with caramelised onions. To finish, sprinkle with chopped chives. If you like, add a few drops of hot chilli sauce for extra kick!

■ APPLE

Foreign cash at absurd levels Apple already has more money than God - $155 billion, to be exact - but now it’s borrowed $3.5 billion more in European markets.

Why does it need to add to its war chest?

Is it burning through its cash pile on R&D for an iCar? Or on its own non-lame version of Google Glass?

Of course not! There’s no such thing as a non-lame version of Google Glass.

This is just tax arbitrage, pure and simple.

Financial engineering, in other words, is Apple’s hotly anticipated new product.

Let’s step back.

The United States has what’s called a worldwide corporate tax system. That means they tax the difference between what multinationals pay abroad and would pay in the US when they bring their overseas earnings back home.

In theory, this should discourage companies from moving their headquarters to the lowest (or no) tax jurisdiction they can find, since they’ll eventually have to pay up anyway.

But in practice, this “eventually” is really a never because of the If-You-Give-A-MouseA-Cookie Principle.

The George W. Bush administration, you see, instituted a tax repatriation holiday in 2004 that let multinationals bring back their money at a special rate of 5.25 per cent (and really just 3.7 per cent because of foreign tax credits).

The result, as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities points out, was a flood of money that exclusively went to share buybacks and dividends, even as those companies cut jobs.

Even worse, this just made corporations shift even more

In brief Orion in demand Demand for software developer Orion Health’s initial public offer has been “extraordinarily strong” and retail investors may end up with a much smaller share of the stock then they initially hoped for, according to a market source. The bookbuild for Orion’s up to $155 million IPO kicked off yesterday.

A bookbuild is an auction style process where institutional investors bid for shares in order to set the final pricing of an IPO. The source said demand from institutions had been so strong that retail investors might only end up with around 10 per cent of the shares they had requested. - NZH

Cracking the code

Apple already has $155 billion, but now it’s borrowed $3.5 billion more in European markets.

income abroad in anticipation of these “one-time” holidays becoming a regular part of our tax calendar.

That’s part of the reason why tech giants like Apple keep looking for every overseas tax loophole - sometimes paying nothing - as their foreign cash has piled up to almost absurd levels.

There’s one little problem, though. What if the repatriation holiday never actually, you know, happens.

Then corporations will be left with more money than they know what to do with overseas, which they can’t use here.

Now they can use it to buy other companies without incurring the wrath of the taxman - and they have - but they’re out of luck if they want to, repeat after me, maximise shareholder value by paying out profits as buybacks or dividends.

Well, unless they use borrowed money to do it.

That’s because they only have to pay US taxes if they bring home money they earned, not money they borrowed.

So Apple might issue $3.5

billion worth of euro-denominated bonds to take advantage of the even lower interest rates over there, and then use that money to buy its own stock.

Now there are two lessons here. The first is that the US corporate tax system badly needs a facelift, if not more.

That could mean cracking down on “inversion” deals where US companies buy foreign ones so they could move their headquarters to a more tax-friendly place.

Or it could mean lowering the corporate tax rate, although that gets more attention than it probably should, given that the effective rate, taking all the loopholes into account, is much lower than the headline one.

Or it could even mean shifting to a territorial tax system that doesn’t tax overseas earnings, if they could somehow figure out how to do that in a revenue neutral way.

But the second lesson is really a question: Why isn’t Apple throwing its cash at ideas instead of investors?

It really can’t come up with anything to spend the money on?

I mean, if software really is going to eat the world, including our cars, shouldn’t Apple be trying to invent the beautiful hardware that will run it? And I’m not talking about a smart watch. I don’t really need one when my iPhone already tells me the time.

Apple, for its part, would say that it just wants to reward its shareholders because it has more money than it knows what to do with. What it’s doing is par for the course in international finance.

This disconnect between record-high profits and still-low investment, however, is why the recovery still doesn’t feel real for most people.

Now part of it is that companies still don’t see the demand to justify more investment.

Another part is that they’re still scarred from the financial crisis. But some of it is the vision thing. Companies would rather spend money on tax gimmicks than on something that might not pan out.

An economy is a terrible thing to waste on shareholder value.

On a rainy lunchtime at West Auckland’s Marina View School students hold their breath as a robot enters the shade beneath a chair. Passing a leg it turns hard right and sets off across the room. There are groans as the machine drifts to the right, and laughter as its mission ends farcically, running over a stray keyboard. Rapid debate follows on how to amend instructions to the robot so it reaches its destination. Andrew Busch and Aakash Singh, both 11, huddle over a laptop and alter the digital code they have written to programme their machine. At Marina View School children as young as 7 are programming, making them among the youngest in the country to be learning such skills - but it’s a feat that will soon be ordinary by some international standards.

In brief Arthur Cup on again Junior athletes from around Mid and South Canterbury will battle it out in the annual Arthur Cup competition in Ashburton on Sunday.

The competition was last held in Ashburton two years ago, when the hosts won it. A teams’ track and field event involving clubs from Ashburton, Geraldine, Temuka, Waimate and South Canterbury, it’s for kids aged seven to 14. Most clubs are expected to send between 15 and 30 competitors. Competition will get under way at the Ashburton Domain Oval at 9.30am and the day will finish with relays.

Season’s first regatta Lake Hood will host its first big rowing regatta of the summer on Sunday. The Canterbury Pennants Rowing Regatta is coming to town and it will see crews from around Canterbury converge on the water.

The regatta will mainly feature eights, fours and quads, and a number of Ashburton crews will take part. Racing will get under way at about 8am on Sunday. The lake will host its next regatta on November 22 – a corporate regatta – and the Ashburton Rowing Club will host its big two day regatta on November 29 and 30.

Allenton the pacemaker Allenton has been setting the pace in open grade tennis this season and tomorrow they’ll look to continue their winning ways against Dorie/Fairton. The Andrew Hunt-led Allenton side heads into the clash fresh off a 5-1 win over Methven. In the other two round four clashes to hit the courts at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre tomorrow, Hampstead will look to make up some ground from second place on the table when they take on Hinds/Mayfield, while Tinwald will take on Methven.

Flaming apology Cricket Australia has apologised to national T20 captain Aaron Finch after he went close to being burnt in a sideline pyrotechnics mishap.

Finch was shocked when he came within a metre of a burst of flame fired from a flamethrower as he went to fetch the ball just over the Adelaide Oval boundary line during his team’s loss to South Africa on Wednesday night. - AAP

Fest attracts full field

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Record entries will take part in tomorrow’s South Island Sports Fest at Lake Hood, but the defending half ironman champion Richard Ussher won’t be at the start line.

The festival involves a half ironman, the only long course duathlon in New Zealand, a sprint distance triathlon and a 10km run or walk.

Organiser Daniel McDonald said a full field of 215 athletes will compete - a record for the annual event.

“There’s a lot of teams this year too, which is what we are after - people starting the sport and getting in to it,” he said.

Around 70 per cent of those entries are for the half ironman, the first event of its kind for the season and one which many will use as part of their preparation for the national ironman championships in Taupo in March.

Competitors are coming from as far afield as Taupo, Auckland and Wellington, as well as around the South Island.

Last year the half ironman was won by multiple Coast to Coast winner Ussher, and while he won’t be there this year, the man who came second to him in 2013 – Mike Phillips – will be, along with another big ironman name in Dylan McNeice.

The two are expected to be among the fastest in the field, with the first person to cross the finish line likely to take around four hours.

The half ironman starts with a 1.9km swim in Lake Hood – which is likely to be on the colder side following a cool week – then heads into a 90km bike ride, and a 21.1km run to finish.

It’s all based around Lake Hood and although the lake is closed until 1pm on Saturday for the event, there are no road closures in place.

The first races – the half ironman and the duathlon – will start at 8.30am tomorrow, followed by the sprint course competitors at 9.15am and the 10km walk at 10.30am.

The half marathon is not being held this year, due to a half marathon being held at the same time in Leeston.

In brief

■ EQUESTRIAN

Top equestrians on show Mid Canterbury riders will be hoping the hometown advantage will give them something extra when they take on the South Island’s best at the Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) Ashburton Area Jumping and Showhunter Grand Prix Show this weekend.

Hundreds of riders from across the island are set to converge on the Ashburton Showgrounds for two action-filled days of jumping and show hunter competition, covering everything from introductory pony classes and low hunter at 60cm right through to the Country TV Horse Grand Prix.

One of the highlights of the competition, the Pony Grand Prix has attracted a small but quality field of seven starters, over a track designed by Otago-based course designer Donella Still.

Heading the local hopes is Rakaia’s Jaimee Bird on Tallyho Bandit, who is coming off a strong second at Otago last weekend.

The big action will come in both the Horse Grand Prix and the Young Rider Series where

Invercargill’s Nicole White and Ohoka’s Olivia Robertson will battle it out.

White comes into the competition off Young Rider victories at both Otago and Ashburton A&P shows aboard Cricklewood Ace, while Robertson took out the Grand Prix on show day with Ngahiwi Cisco.

Local Ashburton rider Zoe Shore will also be gunning for a strong result in front of her home crowd with a big team of horses entered.

She will contest the14-strong Horse Mini Prix with both Olympia NZPH and Zara, as well as lining up in the Canterbury Seed 1.20m Horse Championship for the Tony Archibald Memorial aboard Burberry.

Aside from the major championships, crucial points are on offer in the competitive ESNZ national jumping series.

Three rings of jumping and a show hunter ring will be running, with close to 300 horses and ponies entered.

Action will get underway each day from 8am and entry to the Showgrounds is free.

Jaimee Bird will be in action at the Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) Ashburton Area Jumping and Showhunter Grand Prix Show this weekend.

Cruden back in selectors’ good books Aaron Cruden has been given the nod over both Dan Carter and Beauden Barrett for the All Blacks No10 jersey against England at Twickenham on Sunday (NZT).

Cruden is one of only four players to retain their starting positions from the big victory over the USA in Chicago.

The others are second-five Sonny Bill Williams, who was selected ahead of Malakai Fekitoa and Ryan Crotty, and No8 Kieran Read and fullback Israel Dagg.

For Cruden it is confirmation that he has won over the selectors after his time-keeping lapse in Auckland which led to him missing out on the tests against Argentina and South Africa.

He played well against the Eagles at Soldier Field, apart from his goalkicking - he was successful with four from nine attempts - but coach Steve Hansen is backing him to bounce back in this department too.

Asked if he was happy with how Cruden responded from his recent setback, Hansen said: “You wouldn’t expect him not to. He’s a good rugby player.

“He drives the team well, he’s one of the leaders in the group.

He’s been leading well since he’s been back.”

England at home is a big step up from the USA, a tier two rugby nation, and that is why Carter, who began his comeback from injury with 30 minutes last weekend, is not invo l ve d this week.

Barrett is on the bench, along with

Aaron Cruden

the reliable Ryan Crotty.

Fekitoa has been given another week off to rest after what Hansen described as a “massive” season for the Highlanders midfielder.

Barrett will be injected into the game in the second half, the selectors going back to their preferred combination of Cruden setting the agenda and Barrett attempting to break things open later in the game.

“Bringing someone on that can inject guile and genuine pace like he does has been really effective for us. I’m expecting him to be able to do that again on Saturday,” Hansen said.

Asked about Carter’s fitness following his return from a broken leg and a nerve problem, Hansen said: “Dan’s fitness is fine, he just hasn’t played enough rugby to play in a match like this.”

Jerome Kaino will start at blindside flanker ahead of Liam Messam, who has been named on the bench.

“Both of them are playing well. It’s good, it allows us to freshen them up and keep them sharp.

Lauriston leading Lauriston’s A side made the perfect start to Mid Canterbury Cricket’s open grade Pritchard Shield competition last weekend.

They took on their fellow club side – Lauriston B – and came away with a convincing victory thanks largely to a knock of 120 by batsman Bevan Richan, winning by 163 runs. Lauriston A will be hoping to reproduce that form when they travel to Methven to take on the defending Pritchard Shield champions this weekend. Methven suffered the heaviest loss of round one, all out for just 59 runs against Tech, who will now look to take that form into its match against Allenton, also coming off a good win. In the other game of round two, Coldstream will look to get that winning feeling back when they travel to Lauriston to take on Lauriston B.

“Jerome is going to have a big day ... those two guys complement each other so Liam will get on the park at some stage.”

Crotty’s selection on the bench was a reward for his consistency and reliability, Hansen said.

“He’s continually improving all the time.. he’s a little bit like Conrad [Smith], he’s an unsung hero.” ******

Near perfect conditions greeted the Tour of Southland riders in Te Anau as they faced the longest stage of this year’s tour. At the end of a 187km stage was the fearsome climb up Coronet Peak. The early break of 12 riders reached a gap of just over four minutes before in-fighting within the bunch saw it split apart. Mitchell Lovelock-Fay kicked on in the final 2.5km and take the stage win, with Michael Torckler getting in second ahead of Liam Aitcheson.

Breakers on the road After an arduous stretch of six games in 17 days, the Breakers hold no fear heading into this weekend’s Sunshine Swing. An imposing ask in any normal season has been rendered “just another road trip” by an Australian NBL campaign that has been condensed by one month. The shortened schedule has seen the Breakers back up on the road two or three days after a home fixture on three occasions already this year, meaning the North Queensland jaunt may actually allow the players to see some sun instead of the inside of an airport. The trip begins in Cairns (6-0) tonight before the Breakers (4-3) shift down the coast to tackle Townsville (3-3) on Sunday afternoon.

No swansong for Irene Irene van Dyk’s international swansong has been scrapped after the legendary shooter was cruelly ruled out of the Fast5 World Series through injury. An emotional van Dyk informed her teammates yesterday she would not be taking part in this weekend’s tournament after being sidelined with a back injury. The 42-year-old, who in her 217-test career has never missed a game through injury, strained her back in a training session and was forced to withdraw from the tournament. The loss of the super-shooter is a set-back for the Fast5 Ferns who are out to defend their title without the skills of the tournament’s top shooter Maria Tutaia and Silver Ferns captain Casey Kopua. Fast5 Ferns coach Janine Southby said she is hugely disappointed for van Dyk. “I think for the fans to see Irene one more time out there for New Zealand would have been really special.

But she will still contribute a lot to the environment.”

Jon Sharpe: Missing from a big tour with the Heartland side.

Experiencing rugby’s highs and lows

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A good season in the green and gold jersey fell to pieces in the final few weeks for Mid Canterbury rugby hooker Jon Sharpe.

Sharpe should be in Auckland right now with four of his Mid Canterbury team-mates – Jon Dampney, Jake Ashby, Brenton Connell, and Andrew Smith - preparing for the Heartland XV’s game against the New Zealand Marist XV, to be played on the North Shore tomorrow.

He should then be boarding a plane to the Cook Islands with them next week, to play

two matches against the island side.

But instead, he’s spent this week working and yesterday afternoon he was preparing for a visit with his physio at which he was hoping he’d be given the green light to at least try running again.

Sharpe tore his calf muscle two minutes into Mid Canterbury’s clash with North Otago, meaning he missed the last round match against South Canterbury, the semi-final against Poverty Bay, and the Heartland Championship Meads Cup final win against Buller.

He was due to play the final, but the injury flared up again the day before and he was a late withdrawal.

A decision had to be made last week on Sharpe’s fitness last week so that a replacement could be made if needed.

Sharpe was ruled out and Blake Hill from Thames Valley was called in.

It was disappointing, but the right call, Sharpe said.

“It’s been a bit of a rough month. Everything had been going so well this season and it’s all just blown to bits in the past few weeks,” he said.

He had a call yesterday from Dampney – Mid Canterbury’s captain - from the Heartland XV camp.

“It seemed like they were all enjoying it.

“I text them all on Tuesday and said ‘good luck’, and they all text back and said ‘how’s work?’”

Mid Canterbury’s players were all looking forward to the challenge, but were also hoping to make it through tomorrow’s game unscathed.

“They have to get through Saturday because they won’t be able to get on the plane to the

Cook Islands if they’re injured,” Sharpe said.

The Mid Canterbury players will see one familiar face on the field when they play New Zealand Marist on Saturday.

Celtic prop Dominic Visesio – who made appearances for Mid Canterbury off the bench this season - has been named in the Marist team. Visesio travelled to Auckland yesterday, and trained with his new team-mates.

Visesio, who came to New Zealand two years ago from Samoa to work at a local meat works and play rugby for Celtic, said he was excited to have made the team.
