Sina’s mum: My heart is in pain

BY KURT BAYER The murder of Ashburton’s Sina Solomona left a mother with a broken heart, a daughter without a mother and a town reeling from a crime it may never forget.

Her murderer, Bronson Kelekolio, was yesterday sentenced to life in prison with a minimum nonparole period of 14-and-a-half years for a crime that shattered many lives.

Kelekolio, then 15 years old, stabbed Miss Solomona many times before sexually violating her at her Ashburton home in the early hours of December 15, 2012.

Members of Miss Solomona’s family were at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday as the horror of what happened was recounted.

Her mother Anuella Solomona gave an emotional victim impact statement which told of being left with a “broken heart”.

“When this happened to my daughter, I felt numb, lost for words, and made me think I was to blame for this,” she said.

“My heart is in pain. I can feel the anger in my kids.”

Sina’s twin sister Loretta Solomona said her sister’s slaying was something she and the Ashburton community would “never forget”.

She is now raising Sina’s fouryear-old daughter whose mum was killed by the youth the family “treated as a young brother”.

“My heart is broken,” she said, telling Kelekolio that she hoped one day he would apologise to Sina’s daughter.

The court heard Miss Solomona would not have been surprised to see Kelekolio at her door that December morning.

The 22-year-mother of a toddler regarded him as a wee brother; a member of her large, extended family. She would not have expected what happened when she went outside for a cigarette.

The court heard Kelekolio plunged the blue-handled boning knife into her neck on the backdoor step of her Cass Street home as she went outside. Miss Solomona fell to the ground.

Kelekolio stabbed her a further 13 times in the face and head with

such force that the blade broke in half, with the tip remaining embedded in her skull.

He then sexually violated her – an action that Justice Graham Panckhurst said he felt was the motivation for the brutal slaying.

Kelekolio then got a second blade – a serrated-edged bread knife – from her kitchen and cut her throat.

Name suppression for Kelekolio, who is now aged 17, was lifted at yesterday’s sentencing.

There were gasps of “yes” from the packed public gallery when the life sentence was handed down.

Outside court, Kelekolio’s father declined to comment: “Not right now.”

Bieber mocks crying Bloom Justin Bieber has declared Instagram war on sparring partner Orlando Bloom, posting a picture of the British actor appearing to shed a tear. The Baby singer’s latest social media contribution comes just a day after Bloom threw a punch at him in a Spanish restaurant, reportedly over his ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

Witnesses told celebrity website TMZ Bieber approached Bloom in Ibiza’s Cipriani’s restaurant this week and said “What’s up b***h?” before the Lord of the Rings star swung at the 20-year-old. He ducked just in time, before reportedly telling Bloom, “Say hi to Miranda for me”. The next morning Bieber took to Instagram to taunt Bloom, posting then very quickly deleting a photo of Australian model Kerr in an orange bikini.

Perry: I don’t need a man to be a mum US pop star Katy Perry insists she doesn’t need a man to achieve her baby dreams when the time is right. The singer, who was briefly married to funnyman Russell Brand and dated singer-songwriter John Mayer, is single and has no immediate plans to have a baby. “I want to be doing that in the right time, and that’s not in the next two years, you know? Maybe it’s in a five-year plan, but I need to really be able to focus 100 per cent of my attention on it,” Perry told Rolling Stone magazine.

“I don’t need a dude ... It’s 2014! We are living in the future; we don’t need anything ... I’m not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn’t present himself.”

Back in time In 1945, the end of the war with Japan saw Mid Cantabrians let themselves go. August 15, 1945: Within a few minutes of the broadcast by the British Prime Minister, announcing the surrender of Japan, the citizens of Ashburton let themselves go in unrestrained rejoicing. The sound of motor horns, sirens and bels produced an atmosphere indicative of the feeling of relief and thanksgiving which the people feel that the long struggle is at last over. Flags and bunting quickly appeared on buildings and motor cars as if by magic.

Happy pensioners A group of Christchurch pensioners who created their own version of Pharrell William’s Happy video have won the approval of the hip hop star. The 60 residents and staff of the Diana Isaac Retirement Village have seen their sprightly version of the hit song – which they entitled 80-Odd Years of Happy – make world headlines after the singer tweeted a link to their YouTube video. “Wow ... 80 Odd Years of Happy!,” he posted, alongside emoticons of a smiley face and clapping hands. The tweet racked up 618 retweets and 825 favourites on the social networking site, with the YouTube video clocking more than 1.8 million views. Fans of the music star replied to the post, saying it was “awesome” and “better than the original”. Since Pharrell tweeted the link overnight on Wednesday (NZ time), stories of the retirees’ antics have been splashed across global news websites with glowing reviews. The video for 80-Odd Years of Happy was posted on YouTube on July 19, with the caption saying the residents wanted to “show their children and grandchildren just what they’re made of”.

■ SOLOMONA SENTENCING

Life in prison for bloody murder By kurT BayEr Bronson Kelekolio claimed to have found Sina Solomona wounded but alive in the early hours of December 15, 2012.

Miss Solomona died in a pool of blood after what has been described as a frenzied attack in her Ashburton home. She was stabbed 14 times, her throat slit, and her body sexually violated.

Days later Kelekolio, 17 now but aged just 15 at the time, was arrested and charged with her murder, months later he pleaded guilty to charges of murder and sexual violation, and yesterday – more than a year-and-a-half after the crime – he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 14 years and six months.

With the sentence in the High Court in Christchurch came the lifting of name suppression meaning he can now be named and shown.

The motivation behind the crime remains unclear. The court heard Kelekolio had not been able to speak about what happened and Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae said he had shown “very little remorse”.

When he was interviewed by detectives he claimed to have found Miss Solomona alive and that a man had threatened him at knifepoint.

Bronson Kelekolio in the High Court in Christchurch yesterday.

He named a local man, who was questioned by police, but cleared after he provided an alibi. There was no forensic evidence to link him to the crime.

DNA found on Miss Solomona’s body matched Kelekolio’s profile and he was arrested.

He later admitted the bloody murder, but the court heard yesterday that he has never talked about why he did what he did.

Justice Graham Panckhurst suggested it was sexually motivated.

The court was told that he knew his victim well. His father and her mother lived together in an extended family, Justice Graham Panckhurst said.

The public gallery was full for the sentencing, which saw Miss Solomona’s mother Anuella Solomona give an emotional victim impact statement which told of having a “broken heart”.

She said she would prefer to stay in bed now sleeping, rather than staying awake and thinking about what happened.

Mrs Solomona now felt like she had to leave New Zealand to make a fresh start.

Defence counsel James Rapley said Kelekolio’s age needed to be taken into account in sentencing. He spoke of his school struggles; he was immature and had low intellectual function. He was suspended from Ashburton College for disobedience and misconduct, and smoke cannabis and drank to excess from a young age.

He still won’t talk about what

happened, Mr Rapley said.

“We don’t have any insight from him,” he said.

When considering the minimum period he must serve behind bars, the judge said “age, immaturity is undoubtedly a matter that I must seriously consider.” He said people that age had the capacity to be rehabilitated.

He said his guilty plea came “at a very late stage”, just a month before the proposed trial date. He then tried to change his guilty plea.

“His true motivation behind the offending ... remains unknown.” Justice Panckhurst said that he is in a state of denial, no doubt because of the “enormity” of what he did.

Detective Senior Sergeant John Rae, now retired, said the sentencing was welcomed by the Solomona family, “who can move on now”.

“It’s not going to solve the issue but at least they can feel a lot better about the whole thing,” he said. Miss Solomona’s daughter is well cared for but still asks “where’s mum”.

“These people who commit murder are the greatest thieves of all,” Mr Rae said.

Mr Rapley said it was too early to say whether Kelekolio would appeal the sentence.

Sentence will enable Sina’s family to move forward

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Tevita Taufalele has conducted hundreds of funerals in his time but the farewell to a young Ashburton mother, murdered at just 22 years old, was one of the toughest he’ll ever do.

In the days following Sina Solomona’s murder, for which 17-year-old Bronson Kelekolio

was yesterday sentenced to life in prison, her grieving family approached Mr Taufalele and asked him to take her funeral.

He didn’t know the family, but has come to know them well. He led the farewell to a fun-loving young mother-of-one and was there in the months following to offer support during what was a traumatic time. It was every

family’s worst nightmare.

The funeral was hard for all involved; Sina’s friends, family and Mr Taufalele.

“Sina’s funeral was one of those that it was hard to take because of the nature of what was happening,” Mr Taufalele said.

After months of waiting, he hoped yesterday’s sentencing would allow both the family, and

the community, some closure.

“I think the family will look at this and say ‘it’s not enough, that won’t bring Sina back’, and that’s common from the families of victims,” Mr Taufalele said.

“We hope that the decision that has been handed down will enable us to all move forward.”

Sina’s mother, Annuella, had not been to his church for some

time, but he did speak to her last week. Understandably she was still confused, and trying to deal with the situation as best she could.

The family is of Tokelauan descent, but settled in Porirua, where Sina grew up. As a family they later moved to Ashburton and Sina was working at CMP at the time of her death.

■ OLDEST OVINE MUM

Pet sheep is a mother again at 25

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Love is ageless, just ask Nana and her boyfriend Kneepad.

Neither a sturdy fence nor the difference in their backgrounds – her credentials are impeccable, his questionable – could keep them apart.

They’re next door neighbours and now they’re parents. And that parenthood could well have shot the ewe and ram to stardom.

Nana is 25. She’s outlived her peers and she thought she’d outlived breeding too but on Tuesday, the ewe who once made a name for herself as a champion Hampshire stud, gave birth to twins, possibly setting a new world record for ovine fecundity.

Her owner Rowan Bartlett worked for Hemsworth stud owner Diana Wallace and the ewe was a gift when she left work about 12 years ago.

Since then Nana has had a lazy life in Ms Bartlett’s front yard, giving birth to twins most years.

Those breeding years were

supposed to be over.

“I got her as a cull because she’d done her dash as a stud.

Now she’s supposed to just look pretty in the paddock, ” Ms Bartlett said.

While the average age a sheep will live to is 15, and most have given up breeding long before that, no one told Nana. And no one told the ram next door.

“Old Kneepad doesn’t respect fences, he goes where he likes.”

Over her breeding life Nana has given birth to twins most years and this year’s unexpected birth was of course another healthy ewe lamb and ram lamb.

Surprisingly, the old ewe is in good health, a bit skinny and missing most of her teeth, but nothing a few extra rations won’t fix, Ms Bartlett said.

And she’s not short on spirit.

“She’s still got plenty of gumption. She’ll still have a go at the dogs,” she said.

The lambs were born on Tuesday and mother and babies are doing well.

The question Ms Bartlett is asking now, is how old is old?

Nana’s age is authenticated by the tag in her ear stating the date and year of her birth.

The sheep that was believed to be the world’s oldest in 2012 lived in England and died after falling over a 150 foot cliff.

She was one month short of her 26th birthday.

The oldest age recorded for a sheep is 28 years and 51 weeks.

The Welsh sheep gave birth to her last lamb in 1988 at the age of 28. She died in 1989.

At 25, Nana the Hampshire ewe may well be the world’s oldest ovine mum.

■ DRINK DRIVING LAW CHANGES

Lower limits will hurt sports club finances

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Sports clubs will count the cost of New Zealand’s lower drinkdrive limits in lost revenue, an Ashburton sports club president says.

Celtic rugby club president Paul Summerfield said that like most clubs, bar takings at Celtic were an important part of his club’s revenue.

“There’s no doubt this will have an impact, it has to,” he said.

While Celtic had a courtesy van, this was only used for major events but the new laws might mean it came into more regular use, Mr Summerfield said.

How the new legislation would impact on club finances had been at the back of his committee’s mind for a while, Tinwald Golf Club president Chris Hart said.

“Bar takings are important to all clubs but we’re lucky; most of our members are pretty sensible, they know their limits and only have one or two anyway,” he said.

The club also has a courtesy van that’s used for major events, however, Mr Hart said, it could become an option to use this on club nights too.

Ashburton Trust chief executive Giles Beal believes the great-

Lower drink drive limits come into force from December 1.

est impact on the lower drinkdrive limits will be felt in the after work drinks market.

“There’s no doubt it will have an impact, we’re a rural district so that makes it more difficult, but I don’t think the impact will be too significant; the 5–8pm shift is where you’ll see the greatest impact.”

In anticipation of the lower limits, several breweries had produced lower alcohol beers and these were proving popular with bar patrons, he said.

The Land Transport Amend-

ment Bill 2013, passed this week, almost halves the amount that can be consumed before motorists are considered too drunk to drive.

From December 1 the limits will be 250mcg of alcohol per litre of breath, down from 400mcg while the blood limit will reduce from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg If you fail an evidential breath test between 251 and 400mcg of alcohol per litre of breath you will receive an infringement notice with a $200 infringement fee and 50 demerit points. Drivers in this range will not be able to elect an evidential blood test.

If a driver refuses or fails to undergo an evidential breath test, they will be required to undergo an evidential blood test. If the blood test result is in the 51 to 80mg range, the driver will face a higher infringement fee of $500 and receive 50 demerit points.

The costs of the blood test will also be recovered.

Drivers who accumulate 100 or more demerit points from driving offences within two years will receive a three month driver licence suspension. An infringement offence will not result in the driver receiving a criminal record.

■ WESTPAC RESCUE HELICOPTER

In brief

No snow means fewer rescue rides

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a quiet start to the ski season in terms of injuries requiring the assistance of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, but the chopper’s crews know the worst may yet be to come.

Canterbury’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter has been called to rescue 15 injured skiers or snowboarders from skifields so far this year, a number well down on last season.

At the same time last year they’d been called to assist 26 injured people – 19 skiers and seven snowboarders – and by the end of the season they’d attended to a total of 53 patients from skifields – 38 skiers and 15 snowboarders.

It’s a drop that those who run the helicopter service are attributing to a slow start to the season and a wait for decent snow.

They’re picking it’s going to be a late season, and late snow is likely to bring a late rush of skiers and snowboarders seeking a snow-fix, which in turn could result in more injuries.

Skiing and snowboarding are sports, and like with any sports, injuries happen.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Christchurch crew chief Rick Knight said common injuries were fractures, dislocations and concussions, but the seriousness of the injury often depended on what part of a ski area the accident occurred on.

“About three years ago we had three or four fatalities up there from massive head injuries and internal trauma,” he said.

Injuries were variable, but much of the time the best outcome for the patient was a trip in the helicopter as opposed to an ambulance.

“I’d certainly rather get flown by a 20 minute flight, rather than two hours bouncing down a mountain,” Mr Knight said.

Running a rescue helicopter isn’t cheap, but accidents on the skifield were covered by ACC, no matter where the patient was from, Mr Knight said.

Ski areas all had “pretty good” medical facilities and personnel on site and training was ongo-

Gold coin entry, it runs between 2pm and 7pm.

Telephone scam An Ashburton woman is warning people to be wary of a telephone scam from someone claiming to be from Air New Zealand. It’s a recorded message which tells the person who answers that they qualify for a $999 refund on their last flight. The person who contacted the Guardian had recently taken a flight, but was suspicious, so she contacted Air New Zealand and was told it was in fact a scam.

Dog deadline ing in terms of how to best prep a patient for a flight.

At the end of each season helicopter staff and ski area staff met for a debrief on how the season had gone, and to decide whether any improvements could be made for the following year.

So far this winter the heli-

copter has made 15 trips to Mt Hutt – eight to pick up injured skiers and three to snowboarders. It’s also made one trip each to Mt Cheeseman, Ohau, Porter Heights and Roundhill. Roundhill and Mt Cheeseman were for injured skiers, and Ohau and Porters were for injured snowboarders.

If you’ve forgotten to register your dog, you have just four days in which to do the job before you face a hefty fine. Dog registration was to be completed by tonight, but the Ashburton District Council has given dog owners a short grace period. Registrations must now be made before 5pm on Monday.

■ NOVOPAY

Local pitch for payroll job?

Mid Canterbury schools could pitch for their own payroll manager if a government takeover of a system that has cost them many thousands of dollars founders.

Some district principals have been informally asked to consider a bulk-purchase agreement to hire a provider to replace Novopay – but they may have to lobby parliamentarians to make it happen.

The proposal was revisited after news a government-owned company will, from October, manage the problem-plagued

system which has so-far cost about $45 million to put right.

The government will pay an additional $9 million over six years to use the software.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said there had been good progress in recent months to fix it but, even after targeting over and under payments, “Novo Lemon” continued to be dogged with inconsistencies.

If faced with another six years of unpredictability, Mid Canterbury schools could consider a collective case to fund their own

collective payroll, Mr McMillan said.

The proposal was raised informally last year but it may be worth revisiting.

To get there, schools might have to lobby to repeal a provision in the Education Act which effectively makes the Education Ministry’s payroll provider the default provider for schools.

“If we are in a position where we need to consider a more workable solution, then this sort of proposal would be worth taking further,” Mr McMillan said.

Novopay had cost staff and

schools plenty of time and money. The college’s payroll administration costs grew from roughly $5000 a year to $34,000 since 2012, Mr McMillan said.

An administrative job that used to take seven hours a fortnight often now took more than 40 hours, largely because of problems with Novopay.

Given that, news Talent2 will pay between $18 million and $22 million compensation in cash and discounted services to the government would interest schools: “I wish we were a part of those talks”, he said.

Scarf day shows support for adventure

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton scouting stalwarts Joyce and John Gray will wrap up today to show their support for the scouting movement on its inaugural National Scout Scarf Day. Thousands of Mid Canterbury’s past and present scouting members were encouraged to wear their scarf and woggle today to work or school.

It was a sign of support for the scouting movement and the adventure it gave.

The Grays both wore a Gilwell scarf and woggle, with wood badge beads. It showed they had advanced leader training.

Other scarves identified each scout with their group. They

used different colours and patterns such as red for Allenton, blue with black edge for Tinwald and red with a green border for Methven.

Mr and Mrs Gray have almost 30 years of scouting between them – Mrs Gray 10 years and Mr Gray 17 years.

They had a collection of their scarves sewn onto a campfire blanket along with badges and jamboree badges gathered over the years.

And at 80 years old, Mr Gray was at one time the district commissioner and is still involved as the Mania-O-Roto scouting patron.

The Grays wear their scarves with pride. “Once a scout, always a scout,” Mrs Gray said.

“It’s a way of life really, it’s

a very interesting movement.”

There are about 300 keas, cubs, scouts and venturers involved in the strong scouting movement in Mid Canterbury.

But there are likely to be thousands of former scouts in the district.

The older rovers also operate in Mid Canterbury and are based at the Mania-O-Roto Scout Zone site.

Mr Gray said traditionally the Mania-O-Roto zone – from Rangitata to Rakaia – had always had a strong district membership.

There are 33 million scouts around the world and the scarf represented their unity and was a reminder of their skills and values. It is for people aged six to 26.

SCOUTS GOT TALENT ■

It will be at the Mania-O-Roto Scouts building on Chalmers Avenue.

Principals welcome Novopay takeover

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury principals praise a Government takeover of the education payroll system expecting to see fewer issues.

However, many hope the millions of dollars spent on the system will not escalate.

The Government announced it would take over the management of the Novopay payroll system from existing payroll provider Talent2 from mid-October.

There had been ongoing issues with it since it went live in August 2012.

Thousands of teachers and educators had been incorrectly paid, had accrued leave and superannuation incorrectly calculated and missed automatic payments.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan welcomed the Government takeover but understood the need to give Talent2 the chance to fix it.

College staff had multiple issues with the system which were “far too numerous to list”.

But the worst cases included staff not paid – sometimes for months.

Wakanui School principal Hilary Boyce said recently Novopay had caused “very little angst”. “I’m glad the Government has taken over and I do feel they will want to get it right,” she said.

Longbeach School principal Neil Simons said as the principal of a small school, he shouldered the workload to sort out pay issues. He just hoped the Government got it sorted.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose agreed but wondered “if there is relief in sight or whether we are going to slip further into the mire”.

The figure of $45 million quoted to unsuccessfully fix Novopay hid the millions of dollars spent by school staff nationwide who tried to correct its mistakes.

“It’s a figure carried by schools,” he said. “As the Government takes over the system we sincerely hope for a quakefree transition.”

Ashburton Borough School principal Sam Winterbourn said it was a good decision “if somewhat overdue”.

■ PRINCES COURT

Heavy rain, snow still on the way

By Sue NewmaN

PHOTO TONI WILLIAMS 290714-TW-080

Rest home in Games spirit Princes Court rest home entered into the spirit of the Commonwealth Games yesterday with activities and an opening ceremony, complete with bagpipes played by maintenance man Richard Copland.

Mr Copland (above) piped

musical favourites including Amazing Grace, Elvis Presley’s Wooden Heart, the Barren Rocks of Aden and Harere Ra. It was enjoyed by residents, who clapped and sang along with the popular tunes.

After a rendition of the national anthem, the games were officially opened.

Each of the 32 participating residents represented the country of their choice in sporting versions of discus, shotput and badminton.

The Ashburton District may have been spared the worst of the wild weather on Wednesday night and yesterday, but the Met Service is warning we may simply be experiencing a lull before the real wind storm.

On Wednesday night many parts of Canterbury were battered by high winds, with gusts up to 100kmh. While there were a spate of rural fires in North and South Canterbury, Ashburton’s wind disruptions were limited to isolated power outages.

And even these were limited to a few individuals rather than large problems with multiple consumers, EA Networks network manager Brendon Quinn said.

Rakaia fire crews spent the early hours of yesterday helping fire crews from Burnham and Dunsandel tackle a fire in hay bales on the north side of

the Rakaia River.

The Met Service has issued a weather warning for Canterbury, saying it is likely the province will be battered by severe gales on Friday and Saturday.

It has also issued warnings for the headwaters of Canterbury Rivers with significant amounts of rain likely to fall in the high country on Friday and Saturday as a strong northwest flow covers most of the country.

Temperatures are likely to plunge on Saturday with snow showers possible to low levels.

Wind gusts of more than 190 km/h battered Mt Hutt Skifield’s access road yesterday forcing another closed day on the mountain. The galeforce winds are likely to continue until a forecast southerly change on Saturday afternoon.

The field still has a snow covering of 48 centimetres on the lower mountain and 63cm on the upper area.

■ MIDDLE EAST

9

In brief

Disarmament ‘a daydream’ The chief of Iran’s elite Quds Force has ridiculed calls for Hamas to be disarmed and urged the Palestinian Islamist movement in Gaza to “turn the land and skies into hell” for Israel.

Major General Qassem Suleimani’s message to militant factions resisting Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip was published late yesterday by Iran’s official IRNA news agency.

Suleimani “underlined that confronting the Zionist enemy is a necessity and the Palestinian resistance movement will turn the land and skies into hell for the Zionists.”

“Disarmament of resistance is a daydream that will only come true in the graveyard” for Israel, said the rarely-quoted senior figure.

The United States and European countries have called for a ceasefire in the devastating Gaza conflict and the disarmament of militant groups in the coastal strip, notably Hamas.

The Quds Force, a branch of

Ashburton Guardian

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, is highly secretive and conducts security functions abroad deemed necessary to protect the Islamic republic. As its leader, Suleimani is seldom mentioned or pictured in Iranian media but he has cultivated a reputation as one of the most influential security operatives in the Middle East.

“The painful scenes in Palestine dishearten us and fills our chests with deep grief arising from deep anger,” his statement added.

“Martyrdom for Palestine is a dream of every noble Muslim and freedom-seeker.”

Suleimani’s intervention follows a speech by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging the Islamic world to arm the Palestinians and branding Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide.”

Last week, Iran’s parliament speaker Ali Larijani said his country had provided Hamas with the technology it has used to rain down rockets on Israel.

■ UKRAINE

Police determined to enter MH17 crash site Australian and Dutch police aren’t giving up hope of accessing the MH17 crash site despite fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatists in the country’s east.

Investigators were forced to abandon their mission for a fourth consecutive day on Wednesday because of clashes close to the site where the Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down, the crash killing all 298 people on board including up to 39 Australian citizens and residents.

However, specialist equipment is still being flown in to the Ukraine ahead of a possible breakthrough.

Having been briefed on the latest turnback, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said investigators were not giving up hope.

“We will not readily be deterred here.

“We are determined,” Mr Abbott said.

Palmer United Party leader Clive Palmer is the first senior political figure to urge a pull-out.

“Time to bring our AFP team home from eastern Ukraine if they can’t get to #mh17 crash site as they will be harm’s way in hostile situation,” Mr Palmer said on Twitter.

Mr Abbott announced yesterday that a national memorial service would be held in Melbourne on August 7. The multi-

Shares in Nintendo fell more than six per cent after the Japanese videogame giant announced it was still mired in the red.

Nintendo closed down 6.49 per cent at 11,525.0 yen on the Tokyo exchange yesterday. The company said late Wednesday that it suffered a $US97 million quarterly net loss, with higher costs tied to sales of its Wii U console digging into its bottom line while sales weakened.

25 dead in sinkings

faith event will be at St Patrick’s Cathedral.

The remains of up to 80 bodies are believed to still be at the crash site, in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, where the plane went down on July 17.

Mr Abbott declined to blame Russia for frustrating the recovery effort despite Foreign Minister Julie Bishop earlier raising concerns about Moscow’s role in actively undermining the process.

“Whilst I can’t point the finger at who starts the shelling, we get absolute assurances from the Ukraine government that it’s not them,” Ms Bishop said.

She described as “utterly despicable” unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian rebels had been laying landmines on roads throughout the crash site.

Australian and Dutch aircraft have been flying equipment for the investigators into the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv for when they get the green light to proceed to the crash site.

Dutch officials said that the investigative team wanted to examine the entire disaster area to salvage and recover all the victims and their personal belongings.

The Dutch Safety Board, which is analysing the flight recorders, is expected to publicly release an initial report within days. There is also an criminal investigation under the leadership of the Dutch - AAP Public Prosecution Service.

At least 25 people in Indonesia, including six children, have died and 13 are missing in two separate boat sinkings, as millions travel across the country for the Eid holiday season. The week of Eid, which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, is the busiest travel period of the year in the world’s most-populous Muslim country, when most people abandon big cities and return to their home towns to celebrate with family. A boat carrying 48 people sank on a river on the island of Sumatra late on Wednesday after experiencing engine trouble, leaving six children and one adult dead, a local police said. A ferry carrying 70 people on a river in the Indonesian part of Borneo island sank on Tuesday, with the final death toll put at 18.

The new way for Novopay Stu Oldham

EDITOR

M

any earning a living in education in Mid Canterbury will hope the Government takeover of a vexed payroll system is the start of the end to problems that have cost some dearly.

It was this week announced a government-owned company would take over the management of Novopay, the school payroll system that has more monikers than a Cockney cobbler.

Variously called “No-go pay”, “Novo pain”, “Novo lemon”, “Novo-nightmare” and “Novovirus”, the only constant during Talent2’s management of Novopay has been startling inconsistency.

Pay packets have been heavy – one week, light the next – or, in some cases, completely empty or even in arears. Allowances and leave entitlements became hit-and-miss.

Some schools, including Ashburton College, had their bank accounts raided to pay for staff they never had while others dipped into their own coffers to pay staff that Novopay missed.

The slow-moving train wreck that was Novopay cost taxpayers about $110 million since installation in 2012. The Government will pay $9 million to use the software for the next six years.

That would buy a lot of text books, plenty of special education programmes and thousands of teacher aid hours.

Talent2 will pay back up to $22 million in a compo deal with the Government. Schools will no doubt wonder when they will be compensated for the time and money they have wasted.

If Education Ministry officials cannot offer cash then they should offer something just as valuable: the chance for educators to pitch alterative ideas.

Local principal Grant McMillan suggests Mid Canterbury schools consider a collective payroll contract with a provider they select themselves.

Unless the education secretary can be convinced otherwise, that can only happen if there is a legislative change.

That would make lobbyists of educators who have, for too long, been de facto paymasters.

But it would be wise to listen to those who have learned from experience.

What a wonderful service, all for the price of a car ride and koha. Thank you to Charlotte, Janet, Michelle and others involved in making this service available to the community. It is heartening to find such gracious people.

Things I’ve learned this week

A

word of warning for you this week to kick things off.

Make sure you choose your name wisely if you are creating a Facebook page for your business.

I have learnt the hard way that you can only change the name of these pages ONCE. Head office changed my Hoops in the morning Facebook page to The Hits Ashburton when the brand changed names and now that we have had a change of brand again in Mid Canterbury, I was unable to change the name again to Hokonui.

I have had to kiss goodbye to over 2600 page likers and start again from scratch. Gutted!

I am pleased to say that in just a few days I have secured over 700 page likes on my new Hoops on Hokonui page (hint hint).

Facebook is a super addition to my radio show and I really appreciate all the feedback I get on it.

Talking Facebook, they are apparently testing a new “Buy” button, which would allow users to shop directly via ads or posts. For those of us with online shopping addictions, this

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

can’t be good!

I think Facebook should test a “Please don’t air your dirty laundry on Facebook” button.

Following on from Facebook making it easier to buy things online if they go ahead with the “Buy” button, word on the street is that Apple is about to hop on that train too.

Could your iPhone replace your wallet? Apple is preparing to launch an ‘iWallet’ app that can act as a credit card.

The project is believed to already have Visa on board and is expected to use the company’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor to verify a customer’s identity.

The idea is to eliminate the hassle of entering credit card numbers and billing addresses while shopping on small-screen devices.

The app would also apparently allow people to use their iPhones to pay for goods in physical stores. It’s thought

the new app could launch in mid-September alongside Apple’s new iPhone 6. According to one report, the new phone will include a ‘secure element’ to store such sensitive financial data.

How exactly do you cut up the phone if your other half goes crazy online shopping?

It would appear we have finally reached the point where every event in our lives needs to be recorded. Let me introduce the Ring Cam. There’s a new jewellery box that contains a hidden camera with a wide-angle lens that can turn marriage proposals into memorable videos.

The idea is to let the groomto-be record his bride-to-be’s reaction when he pops the question. Ring Cam, invented by a group of Michigan college students, is a traditionallooking jewellery box that contains a small but powerful camera that can record up to 20 minutes of hi-def video.

When the person who is about to pop the question gets down on one knee, he or she presses a button to activate the camera and record the response.

I’m assuming it has an easily

accessed delete button for the proposal that doesn’t go to plan?

Whatever next?

And to finish, here’s this week’s Buzzwords, some cutting-edge lingo to drop around your place, especially if you have teenagers!

■ ■

■

‘Couch-Cushion Change’ – A trivial or disappointingly small amount of money.

‘Parasite Building’ – A small building or structure that has been added to an existing, larger building, particularly when the styles of the two structures are noticeably different (aka an ugly addition).

‘Pinkification’ – The attempt to make something that’s traditionally masculine more appealing to women by associating it with stereotypical feminine traits. (Example: At a Harvard event designed to get women more interested in computer science, cosmetic mirrors and nail files were handed out.)

Till next week, Hoo roo.

■ CARR GROUP

■ NZ DOLLAR

Fuel expected to rise Elders sale complete The sale of the Elders New Zealand (Elders) business to South Island based Carr Group, announced on June 20, has been completed.

Following the June notification, Elders managing director Stu Chapman and Carr directors Greg Carr and Craig Carr (above) have met with Elders staff and clients to discuss what bringing together two strong agri-businesses will mean for the rural community into the future.

Carr Group managing director Craig Carr said he was looking forward to working

with both companies under one entity and joining forces with Mr Chapman to create a robust rural business.

“We will continue to look for synergies across the combined group and are working on growth plans to support our vision.

“The Elders staff, both Greg and myself have met with have been extremely encouraging and supportive of the sale,” he said.

The Elders business will continue to trade under the Elders brand for the foreseeable future.

The falling New Zealand dollar is bad news for motorists, but for now they have been spared any pump price increase by a fall in international oil prices.

AA PetrolWatch spokesman Mark Stockdale said he was not expecting any immediate increase in petrol and diesel prices.

“It’s wait and see at the moment. Further reductions in the New Zealand dollar will not be helpful.”

Oil prices yesterday fell below US$100 a barrel despite a larger-than-expected decline in US crude supplies and heightened geopolitical tensions.

The main US contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for September was yesterday trading at US$99.59 a barrel, down

US70c from Wednesday and just on US$6 down on the high in July.

In London, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in September dropped US$1.21 to settle at US$106.16 a barrel.

Traders appeared to look past the better-than-expected official gross domestic product data for the United States.

The dollar was boosted by the GDP news and a stronger greenback tends to push down on dollar-priced oil.

“US GDP data was stronger than expected, but gives rise to the idea the Fed may raise interest rates somewhat sooner than previously estimated, supporting a stronger US dollar that may be limiting buying inter-

est in WTI,” said Tim Evans of Citi Futures.

Ian Twomey from energy sector analysts Hale & Twomey said tension in Ukraine had led to sanctions on Russia but they were targeted at exploration rather than the flow of oil.

If the kiwi continues to fall: Exporters: Great news for anyone selling overseas.

Tourist businesses: New Zealand operators have endured a US80c-plus dollar for nearly a year. Further sustained falls could attract more visitors but the high-value market is not so concerned about exchange rates.

Drivers: New Zealand imports all of its transport fuel and this will be more expensive.

■ OPINION

Milk prices and fighting dominate market action

M

arkets have been choppy this week as investors continue to monitor the increasing geo political tension, in both the Ukraine and Gaza, as well as digesting results from the third full week of the global earnings season and some important economic data releases.

This week dairy giant Fonterra dropped its farm gate milk price again, now back to $6 per kilo of milk solids for the 2014/15 season. This is down $2.40 from the previous season and represents a collective income drop for dairy farms of around $4.3 billion, equating to 1.9% of GDP. The initial drop was to $7 and although another decrease was anticipated by the market, there was hope that the price wouldn’t drop quite that low. It is important to note, however, that although the drop is large, it is from an all time high and $6 per kilo is historically still very high. On a more positive note the company did raise its dividend estimates from 10 cents per share to a range of 20–25 cents per share. Given the structure of Fonterra, farmers will therefore receive a payout of $6.20-$6.25 per kilo. The New Zealand Dollar pulled back after the announcement with a steep drop of 0.4 cents against the US, and is now well off its recent highs.

In earnings results this week, micro blogging and social media site, Twitter delivered an earnings report that sent investors

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

into a flurry of buying. Revenue for the quarter was $312 million, up 124% on the same period the year before, beating expectations significantly. The portion of the result, however, that really got investors excited was a 24% increase from the previous year in active monthly users, allaying fears that the service was falling out of favour in the tech space. The share price was up over 35% in after market trading.

This week has been an important week for US economic data with some significant data pieces out giving insight into the health of the world’s largest economy. At the latest Fed meeting a further $10 billion was shed from its monthly bond buying program, in a move that was anticipated given Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s open communication in recent times. This takes the monthly quantitative easing to $25 billion a month.

Also from the US, second quarter GDP figures were released, with real GDP (excluding inflation) growing at 4.0%.

This was well up on the disappointing first quarter which showed a decrease of 2.1%.

The increase for the quarter was attributed to contributions

from personal consumption expenditure, exports, government spending, and inventory investment. This was well above market expectations of a 2.9% increase and backed up the Federal Open Market Committee’s view that the first quarter slow down was the result of bad weather and that the recovery is taking hold.

Geo political tensions, however, continue to remain a concern for investors. In Israel, fighting has continued to escalate and caused the closure of the country’s main airport in Tel Aviv.

The Israeli central bank unexpectedly cut interest rates to deter low inflation and contain economic damage that the conflict could cause.

Fighting has continued in Eastern Ukraine also between the Ukraine and pro-Russian Rebels. This week saw both the European Union and the US impose sanctions on Russia mostly targeting banking, energy and defence. Previously sanctions have been aimed at individuals in President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle as opposed to the new sanctions targeting the entire country. These have been put in place in the hopes the Russia will use its considerable influence over the rebels to cease fighting.

Many will remember the old brick kiln The Crum family operated the brick kiln in Creek Road from 1978 until the 1980s. Most of Ashburton’s brick homes were built with bricks from this kiln – for a period of 14 years in the 1960s-70s, the fire did not go out such was the demand.

■ BROADBAND PRICES

In brief

Chorus appeals pricing Telecommunications infrastructure operator Chorus has opened its case in the Court of Appeal, challenging a High Court decision in April upholding the Commerce Commission’s lower-than-expected regulated prices for broadband internet services delivered over the traditional copper wire network.

In opening submissions, David Goddard QC sought to argue the commission had failed in both law and logic when it set the price for unbundled bitstream access (UBA) service at $10.92 a month, far lower than Chorus had anticipated.

He faced sustained questioning from Justices Ellen France, Lyn Stevens and Douglas White on the merits of an argument that depends first on accepting the commission was wrong in the way it applied the price-setting methodology, and that the High Court then accepted those errors, making errors in law itself in the process.

The appeal is one of several strands of activity for Chorus as it attempts to roll back as far as possible regulatory constraints on its earnings, which it says will constrain its ability to fulfil its contract to roll out the bulk of the governmentbacked national fibre-optic cable network to accelerate New Zealanders’ access to ultra-fast broadband.

You buy a loaf of bread and then before you know it there’s mould on it. That’s because as soon as it’s baked it interacts with microbes, fungi and yeast in the air. One way to delay that process is by adding preservatives to the bread mix. Brazilian researchers though have tried adding natural preservatives to the packing material rather than to the bread itself. The compounds are derived from plants such as oregano and clove that have antimicrobial properties and are used to make an edible film. The edible film goes inside the bread bag and keeps the bread mould-free for up to 15 days - NZH at room temperature.

It’s in the blood

Chorus is in the Court of Appeal challenging a High Court decision that upheld a Commerce Commission price regulation for broadband delivered over the copper wire network.

The commission is separately reviewing its price-setting methodology, also at Chorus’s instigation, with final prices to be set by the end of the year, offering Chorus another potential avenue to achieve higher prices for UBA. It argues the new UBA prices, scheduled to kick in from December, are so low as to risk discouraging consumers from switching to cable-based UFB services, which was the original policy aim of the government’s subsidised roll-out.

In reaching the price of $10.92 a month for copper-

based UBA services, the commission had erred by setting the rate at the same level as applied in Sweden, which along with Denmark was chosen as a benchmark for establishing New Zealand prices, said Goddard.

That was because the commission had concluded that an appropriate rate in New Zealand would be higher than Sweden’s.

All three judges questioned that reading of the process and the requirements on the commission, with Justice Stevens challenging Goddard’s conten-

tion that $10.92 a month was “logically incoherent”.

If Goddard was right, that implied “it (UBA pricing) would be logical at $10.93, which rather points to the technical nature of your argument,” said Justice Stevens, who suggested the legislation governing regulated price-setting ultimately boiled down to a matter of judgement.

“Yes,” replied Goddard.

“It is a matter of judgement, but the judgement must be one that isn’t internally inconsistent or illogical.”

The hearing is continuing.

Brain signals a new era for advertising Companies in the near future will be able to test public reaction to advertisements, music and films before they are released by monitoring the brain

signals of a select group as they watch a trial.

So say psychologists who this week unveiled the results of an unusual set of experiments

into so-called neural signals.

Their idea is that by scanning brain activity in just a few individuals who watch a test commercial or TV programme, this

will predict how a wider audience will also react to it.

The same method could also be applied to test political ideas on focus groups.

Blast some white blood cells with long-wave Ultraviolet A waves and the results are interesting. Nothing happens for most people, but the DNA from those who have cancer is easily damaged. Cells from people with pre-cancerous conditions show an intermediate response.

This finding, tested on around 200 people with melanoma, colon and lung cancer or with no cancer, could perhaps mean that a routine bood test in future could reveal the presence of cancer. This would be good news for those who currently rely on invasive biopsies.

Phoning in the rain Perhaps you find that a rainstorm degrades your cellphone signal.

That can be pretty annoying. It could also be useful. Research shows that the change in cell phone signals caused by heavy rains can be used to calculate the amount of rain that’s fallen in places where there are few traditional rain gauges. That data in turn could help predict floods and allow for early warnings, or help communities battle malaria. - NZH

No place to hide These days large numbers of people carry cellphones, and that could help rescuers find them in a disaster.

A Swiss system uses a drone to find people via their cellphone signal. In the sky is a drone with two antennas that sniff out the data packets from a phone when WiFi mode is active.

On the ground, a computer tracks the drone in real time and displays coloured dots when phones are detected.

There’s a lot to consider

a Smartphone

While each phone might have something unique to offer, finding the right one really comes down to what best suits you.

So, if you’re getting confused – or bogged down in the detail – here’s some helpful tips:

Just want the basics?

If you think you will only use the everyday stuff - like calling, text, email and occasional web searches - you probably don’t need to invest in a top of the line model

Spend a lot of time outdoors?

You should look for a phone with good battery life that you can fit in your back pocket and operate with one hand.

Some models also come with protection from water splashes and dust, so keep an eye out for those too.

Big on photos?

If you’re a keen photographer – or maybe think you might be taking a lot of shots for work - then the quality of the phone’s camera is obviously an important thing to ask about.

■ RUGBY

Makeshift team to face Stags

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury have a second crack at an ITM Cup team as they look to lift the intensity for their Meads Cup title defence in the Heartland Rugby Championship.

The Hammers will head to Oamaru with a patched up side to take on the Southland Stags in a pre-season friendly tomorrow three weeks out from the start of this year’s competition.

Ashburton Trust Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore has said that if they are to repeat last year’s victory that they would need to lift, and what better way to do that then against high quality opposition.

However, he would have preferred to field close to his top line-up, and instead there are least 13 players from the squad of 35 named last Saturday that aren’t in the mix to meet the Stags.

Loan players Peni Manumanuniwila and Willie McGoon will feature for Southbridge in the Ellesmere semi-finals against BurnhamDunsandel, player of origin Matt Thatcher has his final game with Christchurch in the Christchurch Metro competition and Dwayne Burrows is also unavailable.

Injury has ruled out Richard Catherwood and Josh Walker tomorrow, while former North-

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

First year Southland Stags coach Brad Mooar named 12 new faces in his squad including one who will go up against his former province on Saturday.

New Zealand Sevens representative and Mid Canterbury product Mark Jackman is one of the new players looking to impress for the Stags – but he’ll have to do so off the bench.

When Jackman signed with Southland, the first-five position was wide open, with Robbie Robinson switching to North Harbour and Marty Mackenzie to Taranaki, and he was hoping to push for the number 10 jersey but Highlanders pivot Lima Sopoaga’s signature followed soon after.

Sopoaga and the Stags’ other Super Rugby players won’t come up against the Hammers, except for South African born

Footballers on a roll Mid Canterbury will be after more good results in Mainland Football tomorrow. In division four Mid Canterbury Eastern will look to back up from last week’s 2-1 away win over FC Twenty11 when they host Western in Pool B, while Methven are away to Parklands in Pool A. The Mid Canterbury Masters lost at home 2-4 to FC Twenty11 and will look to bounce back when they meet Universities in Masters Group Two. Mid Canterbury 18th were 3-1 winners over Christchurch Boys’ 2nd XI and will be after a similar result at home to St Andrews 1st XI. Mid Canterbury 16th also had a big win last weekend, putting five unanswered goal past Papanui Redwood but have the bye tomorrow. After a disappointing 0-5 loss to Cashmere Tech in 15th grade division one, Mid Canterbury 15th are at home to FC Twenty11 15B. On Sunday the Mid Canterbury Women are away to FC Twenty 11, who beat them in the opening round of the cup completion, after a 5-1 thrashing of Hornby last week moved them to the top of the table.

land prop Scott Vessey (back), centurion hooker James Carr (shoulder) and flanker Mitch Sim (knee) are all likely out for the season.

Some good news is that former Tasman flanker Gary Redmond was back to his best in last week’s Watters Cup final.

The score won’t be the focus against the Stags, but how the Hammers operate.

Jackman likely to face old team-mates

prop Juan Koen, as they will join the squad on Monday.

In the absence of Sopoaga another new recruit, Jamie Verran, has been given the nod at 10 with Jackman set to feature off the bench, with his versatility meaning he could pop up anywhere from 10-15.

Other new Stags players that the Hammers will come across tomorrow include Tongan international Otulea Katoa, Former King Country loan winger Lolohea Loco and Bill Fukofuka, a teenage number eight from Auckland’s Tangaroa College. Stags regulars Jason Rutledge and Tim Boys will be leaned on to lead the new look side in their first pre-season hit out against the Hammers.

With the Super rugby players back on deck they will meet Otago in Alexandra next Friday before opening their 2014 season against Bay of Plenty on August 15 in Invercargill.

The Hammers suffered a 1046 loss to Counties Manukau in a Ranfurly Shield challenge in Pukekohe last month, giving the players a taste of the next level of provincial rugby.

Apart from the opening 10 minutes, the Hammers were competitive against the Steelers and they will need to be switched on from the first whistle against Southland, especial-

ly missing so many players, or risk another blowout.

The team named to take on the Stags was set to be confirmed today.

The Hammers host South Canterbury next weekend, in a non-Hanan Shield match, followed by a training weekend before they open their campaign at home against West Coast on August 23.

Crusaders unchanged for Super 15 final Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has, like his Waratahs counterpart Michael Cheika, named an unchanged team for the Super Rugby final in Sydney on Saturday night.

The clash will be the first time the two sides have met this season, with Blackadder saying that added an extra layer of excitement of the occasion.

“There is an unknown element given that we haven’t played the Waratahs so far this year, but that goes for both teams. We are just focused on being as prepared as we can be to put in the best performance we’re capable of,” Blackadder said. “We know we have the game of our lives ahead of us but are not daunted by the challenge, we are looking forward to it. We’ve got a group of men who want this badly and who have the talent to do it.”

The final will be played at

The Mid Canterbury girls opened the Hanan Shield secondary school rugby tournament with a come-from-behind win over North Otago in Timaru on Wednesday.

The Ashburton College girls 1st XV, featuring players from Mount Hutt College that took out the Aoraki Secondary Schools competition last term is now playing under the guise of Mid Canterbury in a Hanan Shield tournament. The triangular tournament is being used to select a Hanan Shield team for the South Island Tournament at the end of September. After a messy first half they trailed 12-15 at halftime but dominated the second half to win 29-20. After the win over North Otago (a combination of St Kevins and Waitaki) on neutral ground, Mid Canterbury meets South Canterbury (Craighead, Timaru Girls’, Roncali, Waimate and Geraldine) in Ashburton next Wednesday. The Hanan Shield team will be named the following week, after North Otago play South Canterbury.

Selectors’ tough choice

Coach Todd Blackadder

ANZ Stadium in Sydney’s Olympic Park and kick-off is 9:40pm NZ time on Saturday night.

Crusaders: Israel Dagg, Kieron Fonotia, Ryan Crotty, Dan Carter, Nemani Nadolo, Colin Slade, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read (c), Matt Todd, Richie McCaw, Sam Whitelock, Dominic Bird, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett. Reserves: Ben Funnell, Joe Moody, Nepo Laulala, Jimmy Tupou, Jordan Taufua, Willi Heinz, Tom Taylor, Johnny McNicholl.

- APNZ

The All Blacks’ policy of injured players not losing their places when they return to fitness could be given its sternest test if Israel Dagg returns to the fold in sound condition following tomorrow’s Super Rugby final.

Dagg’s unavailability due to a knee injury after the first test against England opened the door to the No15 jersey for Ben Smith and the Highlander put in two outstanding performances in Dunedin and Hamilton as the All Blacks swept the series. As Steve Hansen and company prepare for the first Rugby Championship test in Sydney in a fortnight, the selection of fullback, and to a slightly lesser extent right wing, could be among the most difficult. The back three division is the most eagerly contested in the team, and with Charles Piutau, a wing or fullback, returning from a knee injury of his own, it has become even more congested.

Crusaders hungry for victory

BY ADRIAN WARREN A refreshed and more highly motivated Dan Carter says the Crusaders are hungry for a Super Rugby final win and has paid NSW Waratahs opposite number Kurtley Beale a big compliment.

Recently back from a sabbatical, peerless All Blacks fiveeighth Carter has slotted seamlessly back into the Crusaders’ side in the less-familiar position of inside centre.

Carter said he had been happy with his form in the handful of games he had played since returning from his break, during which he attended the US Masters golf tournament and the Academy Awards.

“Time will tell whether it (the sabbatical) has been a success but, at this early stage, I’ve really benefited from having a break and the body feels good and the motivation is extremely high,” Carter said in Sydney yesterday.

“I know, mentally, my motiva-

tion is a lot higher than it normally is midway through the season, so that’s a real positive.”

In an unchanged line-up for Saturday’s final, Carter is one of five Crusaders who played in their last title-winning team against NSW in Christchurch in 2008.

“It’s been a few years since the last time, so this team is really hungry and excited and the fact that we’re in the final, we’ve given ourselves a chance,” Carter said.

“But we realise the hard work is still ahead of us and realise we’re in for a huge challenge up against the in-form side of the competition, playing on their home ground, which is going to be a huge challenge for us.”

Carter said Beale had done well at inside centre after having previously played at five-eighth and fullback, positions occupied

by Wallaby incumbents Bernard Foley and Israel Folau respectively.

“He (Beale) really helped direct

the play,” Carter said. “Having two first receivers at times, the open style of play that they have, they really try and get quick ball, so you can’t always get your fiveeighth into first receiver.

“So to have someone like Kurtley there, being able to direct the guys around, take the ball to the line, has added another dimension to the side.”

Carter said he hoped the sabbatical concept would help extend his career by a couple of years.

Ferns sound a warning

BY DAVID LEGGAT Silver Ferns captain Casey Kopua hopes England will be “scared” after her team pulled off a gritty and smart victory over Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games yesterday.

The odds were in Jamaica’s favour once key shooters Cathrine Latu and Maria Tutaia were ruled out by injury.

But a strong fourth quarter did the business for New Zealand as they eased clear from 35-33 to win 50-42 at the SECC arena.

It was a win based on spirit and resolve, and kept New Zealand on track to face world No 1 Australia in what would be a classic showdown, provided they get past a confident England in their semifinal on Saturday.

“We’re looking forward to that challenge,” Kopua said of England.

“Obviously they’re very accurate shooters and have physical D (defence). So it’s just making sure we use our ball work, keep things sharp but keep things simple at the same time.”

New Zealand worked overtime keeping tabs on Jamaica’s giant goal shoot Jhaniele Fowler-Reid, making her work for advantageous positions, giving up as few ‘freebies’ as possible.

In that, Kopua and Leana de Bruin did a fine job.

With Laura Langman running the middle of the court, stand-in shooters Jodi Brown and rookie Ellen Halpenny toiled against a determined Jamaican defence, and eventually reaped fourth quarter rewards.

By trying to limit the damage tall Romelda Aiken - usually a goal shoot - could do with her reach, in those last

15 minutes, Brown nailed nine from nine shots and that helped pull the Silver Ferns clear.

“We got more belief and confidence as that game went on,” Kopua said. “The likes of Jodi Brown, she was an absolute rock for us, and for Ellen in that shooting circle. Her top two inches is so clever.

“For us on D, it was just having a go at getting that feistiness in there, I guess, but having control at the same time.”

How well did Kopua and de Bruin cope with the threat of Southern Steel shooter Fowler-Reid?

Kopua was about to answer when coach Wai Taumaunu stepped in: “Better than anyone else in the competition.”

As for the injured shooters, it is a day by day proposition.

“They’re certainly not out, at all. What we know is they’re getting better every day, so we never know,” Kopua said.

She believed yesterday’s win was an ideal lead-in for the semi-finals.

“Each day we’ve got more and more physical and intense, so things are going to get tougher than that and we’re ready for it.”

Taumaunu had high praise for the “huge” character of her team yesterday.

“I don’t often say I’m proud of them but I’m very proud of them at the moment.

“We were down to nine players two or three days ago and that does really make you wonder if you’re going to get through, because we were only halfway through.

“So there was a lot of resolve and a lot of digging deep. So in one sense it’s been disruptive, but in another sense I think it’s really brought us together.” - NZH

New Zealand’s Valerie Adams celebrates after winning the women’s shot put competition at Hampden Park Stadium yesterday.

Valerie confirms world domination

BY DAVID LEGGAT Valerie Adams made no race of winning her third Commonwealth Games shot put gold medal on a cool night at Hampden Park.

After having a no throw to start, Adams flung out a throw of 19.88m and no one got close.

With one mighty heave, the gold the athletic world knew was a formality was officially confirmed.

Adams thus equalled Val Young’s record of three gold and one silver Games medal.

Young won the titles in 1958, 1962 and 1966, with the second placing at Christchurch in 1974.

Adams followed up with throws of 19.58m, 19.76m and

19.79m to wrap it up, along with a second no throw on her fourth trip to the circle.

It is Adams 12th win of the year and her 54th successive title, dating back to August 2010.

It is also the 600th Games medal for New Zealand.

Adams towered over her 11 rivals as the athletes were introduced to a packed stadium.

After her opening miss, she paced about behind the circle as if just itching waiting for a chance to atone, and stamp her mark on the night.

The only thrower who got remotely close to Adams - and that is using the word loosely - was Trinidad and Tobago’s Cleo Borel, whose best effort of 18.57m with her second throw,

won her the silver medal.

Bronze went to Canadian Juli Labonte, with a best effort of 17.58m, a distant 2.3m behind Adams.

Adams didn’t manage to match her year’s best outdoor distance of 20.46m at the national championships in Wellington in March. And her Games record of 20.47m from New Delhi four years remains intact.

Her Wellington performance is also the best mark by anyone for the year, although Adams put up 20.67m at the world indoor championships in Sopot, Poland.

Adams flung her arms in the air after completing her sixth and last throw, and hugged her rivals.

Adams sat down at times, and

walked around with a white towel draped around her neck, to guard against the chill in the night air.

But when it came time to deliver she was too hot for a field who must wonder when the day will come when they are genuinely contesting for gold on the world stage. For now it’s about silver and bronze, while the champion Adams owns the event.

Adams admitted her performance was “a bit flat”.

“There is the big hype of the Commonwealth Games, but the aim of the game is to come and win and we were able to successfully do that,” she said.

“I wanted more, but hey I won by 1.3m. Winning by another 2m sure I would have got the

championship record but I’m pretty happy to be taking this puppy home.”

Adams acknowledged the cool night air during the event - “let’s just say Valerie’s body is a little bit sensitive to cold weather, hence the big thermal top which is something I never do.”

She was chuffed to become the winner of New Zealand’s 600th Commonwealth Games medal, just pipping weightlifter Stav Chalaev’s silver across the city.

“A Games three peat and the 600th medal, I’m honoured and very privileged.”

Adams has four more competitions to come, a mix of Diamond League, which she is again the dominant performer, and a world cup in Marrakesh. - NZH
