Rakaia complex pitched BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The fate of Rakaia’s longawaited sports complex will lie in the community’s hands after its supporters won a last-minute bid to have it included in the Ashburton District Council’s long-term plan. The project, however, will not be signalled as a planned expenditure, rather it will come into the plan for discussion and debate. Whether it flies or fails will depend on the community’s taste for adding another

$1.5 million to $2 million worth of spending into the council’s budget. Yesterday the complex’s architects and members of its Rakaia committee had a tough job selling the project to district councillors. While they might have supported the concept, most initially believed the council could not afford to make a commitment to another big-ticket project. The Rakaia Sports Trust has been working on the project since 2009 and presented the

council with detailed plans that included a large court area, a lounge and support services, built around Rakaia’s existing squash courts. Rakaia was a growing community, Ken Cutforth said, and the complex had been designed as a community centre as well as a sports facility. “In 2011 Rakaia had a school roll of 141 and that was up from 78; now it’s 225 and by the end of the year it’s likely to be 240. In a short space of time it has grown 60 per cent.

“Our rugby club had 75 junior members in 2011 and last year there were 111. Rakaia was the fastest-growing part of the district in the last census,” he said. The project is anticipated to cost between $4.5 million and $5 million. Most of the money will come from the Rakaia community or through public funding, but the trust has asked the council to commit between $1.5 million and $2 million to the project. “We’d originally hoped to start building in September this year,

but realistically we’d like to think we’d get the council to commit it into the long-term plan for year two,” Mr Cutforth said. “During the intervening period we’ll be challenging the community and rattling cages and getting commitments from the community in black and white.” While they supported the project in theory, when it came to committing council funds most councillors struggled.

2 Pet reptile no lizard A baby caiman has found a new home at a Lithuanian zoo after its previous owner tried to sell it online, apparently upon realising that the pet reptile he was raising in his bathroom wasn’t a harmless lizard. Officials at the Kaunas zoo said authorities confiscated the spectacled caiman from a student who had posted an online advertisement for a large lizard. They said the student had kept it for several months but, stunned by how fast it was growing, decided to get rid of it. Lithuanian law prohibits raising dangerous animals at home. The 1.3kg, 63cm caiman, named Croc, was handed to the zoo, where visitors could see it for the first time yesterday. It wasn’t immediately clear how the student had obtained the reptile.

Usher surprises fans as street dancer R&B superstar Usher has stunned fans in Los Angeles by posing as a masked street performer, before revealing his true identity. The Yeah! hitmaker drew a large crowd in Venice as he donned an all-gold outfit and showed off his dance moves, appearing to try and earn a few dollars with his impressive routines. But he left his audience speechless towards the end of his performance when he took off the mask. The stunt was filmed as part of MasterCard’s Priceless Surprise Campaign.

Cat survives burial Bart the cat was hit by a car, buried and crawled back from the dead — literally. Earlier this month, a car hit the 1 1/2-year-old cat in Tampa, Florida. Bart’s owner was so distraught, he couldn’t stand the thought of burying him, so he asked neighbour to dig a shallow grave. Five days later, on January 21, a matted and injured Bart emerged, meowing for food. “At first it blew me away,” said Dusty Albritton, the neighbour who buried Bart. “All I knew was this cat was dead and Pet Sematary is real.” Bart had a broken jaw, a ruptured eye and a torn-up face. He was dehydrated and hungry, but alive.Owner Ellis Hutson didn’t know what to do. He got in touch with the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, which through the Save-A-Pet Medical Fund will help cover the costs of Bart’s care.

‘911 Facebook is down’ Following a surprising amount of phone calls to emergency services on Wednesday, San Francisco dispatchers are requesting that local residents stop calling in to complain about social media networks becoming temporarily unavailable. Claycord. com reports that following a brief Instagram outage, Facebook also went down, causing panic among several residents. Facebook’s outage was reportedly caused by an internal glitch, but nevertheless raised concern, prompting five people to call in to ask when the sites would be back online. “Our lines are [sic] dedicated to handle life and death calls, and even though Facebook is important to a lot of people, it’s not a matter of life and death when it stops working,” the dispatcher said. “One caller even called back to tell me I was being rude because I told her it wasn’t a lifethreatening emergency.”

■ ASHBURTON VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE

Firestarters kept off social media By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Fire Brigade will not be naming and shaming those who breach fire regulations, according to the town’s chief fire officer. His comments come after the Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade was ordered to remove a photo that identified a man who had breached the district’s fire ban from its Facebook page. While most people have been

Rakaia complex

obeying the region’s total fire ban, local fire crews have attended a small number of illegal fires since the ban came into place. The photo, which was uploaded to the page on Thursday afternoon, showed a man extinguishing a fire he had lit. According to the post, he was extinguishing the fire at the direction of the fire service. The image was removed from the page a short time later, after

complaints to the New Zealand Fire Service and the Selwyn District Council were made by members of the public. Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Nigel Lilley later took to the Facebook page to clarify the issue. In the post, Mr Lilley said the photo did not show the surrounding paddock, which was full of “extremely dry” grass. Mr Lilley said the man had endangered himself, neighbour-

ing properties, and lives. However, Ashburton Fire Brigade chief fire officer Alan Burgess said naming and shaming those who broke the rules was not something that the brigade would consider. Mr Burgess said while the Ashburton Fire Brigade had a Facebook page, it was primarily for internal activity. The decision to name and shame also drew criticism from New Zealand Fire Service assis-

Putting edible food or food waste in your rubbish bag is the same as tossing money into landfill, says waste expert Craig Goodwin. The Ashburton District Council’s assets officer is leading a project that will see Ashburton join 43 councils around New Zealand in an investigation aimed at identifying the amount of food that finds its way landfill. It will involve 120 households selected at random from around the district. It’s a project that’s designed to save individuals and the council money and Mr Goodwin believes the results will surprise most people. “Evidence from overseas has shown that once people become aware of how much they’re wasting and what it’s costing them they start to change their behaviour and reduce their food waste and save themselves money,” he said. Rubbish bags will be opened and their contents examined to get a handle on the amount of food waste that made its way to landfill, Mr Goodwin said.

Bags will be collected from the kerbside at random by the food auditor and taken to Timaru to be opened and sorted with food waste divided into categories and measured. No attempts would be made to identify the source of the rubbish, but once a rubbish bag was placed kerbside it became council property and recyclables became the property of the recycling contractor, Mr Goodwin said.

The food waste audit was unlikely to lead to Ashburton starting a kerbside collection and recycling service for food waste, however, he said. “That’s financially beyond smaller towns. This is about getting it into people’s minds how much it is costing them through their grocery bills and through landfill charges on rates by wasting food.” Currently the council is transporting and disposing on

Food waste under microscope

from P1 There were just two options, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said – put the project in the long term plan so the community could make submissions on it or say no and that meant it would be dead in the water. The project had been signalled in the last long term plan but no figures were built into the budget. Councillor Stuart Wilson said he couldn’t make a quick decision on spending so much money, but business group support manager Paul Brake said he was almost out of time to prepare the draft long term plan and a decision on the Rakaia complex could not be delayed. After a lengthy debate where several councillors voiced concerns about quick decisions and additional spending, Mr McKay suggested the project should be put in the plan for discussion with expenditure tagged for year two (2016/2017) “That doesn’t mean I’m totally in favour or that I’m against it but it should go in for the people of the district to have a discussion on,” he said.

■ COMMUNITY HOUSE

In brief

Funds welcome, but way to go By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Community House Mid Canterbury may have received a welcomed funding boost, but it still has a long way to go before it has the funds to buy Ashburton’s former Work and Income (Winz) building. The Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury recently donated $250,000 to Community House, which takes the total money raised

for the purchase to more than $850,000. However, Community House board chairperson John Driscoll said there was still a long way to go before the funding goal of $1.1 million was reached. “We’ve sort of got twothirds, but we need a bit more,” he said. “I’d like to think I am confident we’ll get the funding, but I can’t guarantee anything.” The organisation still had

applications for funding in the pipeline, Mr Driscoll said. When asked by the Guardian if she would lobby the government directly for financial assistance for the organisation, Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew said she had written letters of support for some of its funding applications. “They mostly already knew all of the places to go, and what I’ve done is offered to write letters of support, and I’ve sent a

couple of letters of support for a couple things they’ve applied for, so that’s my role,” she said. Mr Driscoll said if the purchase went ahead, Community House would be applying to the Lotteries Commission for funding to renovate the building, which was the site of a tragic double murder in September. “We have to be mindful of what it’s done to the people of Ashburton,” he said. “It’s a very sensitive issue.”

■ CONSENT FOR DEMOLITION SOUGHT

Youth hui Youth leaders from across Canterbury will gather at the Hakatere Marae this weekend. About 50 youth councillors and co-ordinators are expected to attend the hui on Saturday. The event has been organised to provide an opportunity for participants to meet other youth council leaders and to develop leadership skills. Twelve members of the Ashburton Youth Council have confirmed attendance at the hui, and will lead an introductory team building session in the morning. The event has been organised by the Ashburton Youth Council and supported by the Ashburton District Council, the Canterbury District Health Board, Hakatere Marae and the Ministry of Youth Development.

Grain store likely to go

Ashburton police attended a domestic incident at 12.05am yesterday.

Jamie Oliver visit Superstar chef Jamie Oliver is coming to New Zealand – and he’s chosen Wellington as the site of his new Italian restaurant. Following years of speculation, it was confirmed that Oliver wants the Public Trust building on Lambton Quay and Stout St for his new restaurant. McKee Fehl construction company is renovating the 107 year-old building. Building owner and McKee Fehl managing director Maurice Clark said the restaurant would help create a “new hub” of activity in the area, which was home to many private and public sector offices but few restaurants.

Pike River walk

By sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A building that has been part of Ashburton’s rural sector since 1896 is likely to be demolished later this year. The distinctive Cates grain and seed building, with its curved corrugated iron roof, has dominated the urban landscape on West Street as a succession of grain merchants have plied their trade along what has now become a busy national highway. Today the Group A heritage building is home to Cates Grain and Seed Ltd but is under contract to new owner Barry Redmond. The high cost of bringing the building up to new building code standards has meant Mr Redmond has lodged a demolition consent application. Currently the grain store is just 11.5 per cent of the building code and it will cost an estimated $500,000 to bring it up

to current standards. “It’s just not economic to end up with a building you can’t practically use because of the strengthening requirements. Also, the needs of grain storage have changed dramatically and that’s why Cates want out, it’s just not appropriate for them to run their business from this site now,” he said. The site, however, was a good investment and Mr Redmond said he has long-term plans for its use. Severing the company’s ties with its past was something the company was reluctant to do said Cates director Stuart Begg, but a new base in a building previously occupied by Guardian Print on Kermode Street would provide a much better and more modern work space. “The reality is now this building doesn’t work for where our business is now. Access with big trucks off the highway is an issue. We’d like to stay here

but to future proof our business going forward we needed to look for a new premise,” Mr Begg said. Selling a property that had long historical ties to the district’s grain industry for more than a century wasn’t a decision that was made lightly though. “If we could have stayed here we would have and it will be a sad day when we move out.” The company hopes to relocate by mid-year. If consent to demolish the building was granted, Mr Begg said the public would view it as the loss of one more old building, but when the costs of strengthening a very old building were balanced against the needs of a modern day business, it made economic sense to sell and move out, he said. “We’ll hopefully take a bit of our history to the new place, we’ll never dismiss our past. This building has served its purpose.”

BUILDING’S HISTORY ■

■

The West Street building was constructed in 1896 by the Friedlander Brothers. It is built of timber framed walls with stucco cladding and has a large corrugated iron arched roof. Hugo, Max and Rudolph Friedlander began their partnership in 1876 as store keepers and grain merchants. When they constructed the building they traded as The Grain and Seed Company. The business continued an unbroken chain as a grain and seed company under several different names and with several different owners. Over the years the building has had several additions. For many years a rail siding ran from the centre of the grain store to the main trunk line.

The Government has ordered a feasibility study into a new “great walk” from the Pike River Mine site and over the Paparoa Range, with Environment Minister Nick Smith signalling that the area may never be mined again. Dr Smith was at the Atarau memorial to the Pike River victims to back the bid for a great walk, and to add the mine site and surrounding area to the Paparoa National Park. As such, it would automatically become schedule four land, which cannot be mined and guarantees public access. The Pike River families agreed by consensus to the move, although others said it would split the families as some persisted with efforts to recover the 29 bodies.

Sutton’s farewell bash A number of people chose not to attend Canterbury recovery boss Roger Sutton’s farewell bash yesterday. The departing Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) chief executive announced his resignation in November. The resignation came after a seven-week State Services Commission investigation found serious misconduct on his part following a complaint by a staff member about sexual harassment complaint. The complaint was upheld, but was not serious enough to warrant dismissal. A farewell afternoon tea was held for Mr Sutton yesterday, however attendance was not compulsory. Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee did not attend.

■ FISH AND GAME

Fish stranded in Bowyers Stream By Michelle NelsoN aNd caitliN Porter Fish and Game field officers have been dispatched to check on a fish stranding in Bowyers Stream, near Mt Somers. Bryan Guilford noticed a number of fish trapped in a shallow puddle in the otherwise dry streambed on Wednesday. He is home from the UK on a visit and took his three-year-old daughter Ayla to visit one of his childhood haunts. “I was disgusted to see dying fish – I grew up in Mt Somers and spent hours down here at the river, and I’ve never seen anything like this before,” he said. “This river always had water in it, and it’s well known for trout fishing.” By the time the Guardian arrived at the scene yesterday, herons appeared to have taken the smaller fish, but a larger hen trout was dead in the now bone dry puddle. Central South Island Fish and Game chief Jay Graybill said Bowyers Stream was regularly monitored, and staff had been there in the middle of last week and again on Monday.

“We had another field officer doing an aerial bird count who flew over it on Monday, when they are doing other things they keep an eye out for problem areas and none were observed at those times,” Mr Graybill said. “Another field officer will be going out either tonight or in the morning.” Mr Graybill said there had been no reports of any particular problems in Bowyers Stream. “We will investigate if members of the public make us aware that they’re observing problems,” he said. “It needs to be recognised that the extensive dry period throughout Canterbury is putting considerable pressure on our staff resources but we’ve been salvaging flat out across our part of the region for some weeks now.” A number of fish rescues have been carried out in drying waterways in the Hinds Plains catchement. “You have to appreciate there are hundreds of rivers in this region and they are tens of kilometres long, if not longer but if we do get specific information we will investigate,” Mr Graybill said.

A jockey escaped serious injury when she fell from her mount during a race meet in Ashburton on Wednesday. Canterbury-based jockey Kylie Williams was rushed to Ashburton Hospital after falling from her mount Snowdon shortly before the start of the final race of the day about 5pm. Racehorse trainer Lyn Pren-

dergast, who co-trains Snowdon with husband Tony, confirmed that Ms Williams was released from hospital later that night. Mrs Prendergast, who witnessed the incident, said Ms Williams fell after the horse lost its footing and stumbled. “She fell off the side, and the horse must have put its hoof on her head as it was going out the gate,” she said. “It was very scary.”

Ms Williams was knocked unconscious immediately after the fall but was alert and talking when she was transferred to hospital by ambulance, according to reports. South Island chief steward Nigel McIntyre told the Guardian on Wednesday night that the ambulance had not left the birdcage area, so it was able to attend to Ms Williams immediately.

Ms Williams would be alright but she had a compulsory three-week stand down period, Mrs Prendergast said. “She’s got a sore head and a fat lip,” she said. “She’s very lucky it wasn’t more serious.” The fall marred an otherwise successful day on the track for Ms Williams, who won two other races prior to the incident.

Reward offered to relocate duck Methven’s resident paradise duck, loved by some but not so popular with others, has a bounty on its head. Methven Resort manager Karyn Yorston wishes to relocate the feathered creature to somewhere it would be happy, but nowhere near the resort’s public swimming pool. “I’m still trying to catch it,” she said. She said she would offer a reward to anyone who might be able to help her, such as dinner for two at the resort’s restaurant. The juvenile paradise duck,

which a bird expert believes may be a former pet duckling, has made the area between the resort’s pool and the Mount Hutt College front fields its home. It has become well-known in the town over the last two weeks, and has been seen around the town’s centre, outside supermarkets and cafes. She said once captured, the bird could either be relocated to an area such as the Rakaia River, or to a good home in the wider Methven area if anyone was interested in taking it.

World record freediver William Trubridge has beaten his personal breath holding record, lasting nine minutes with “empty lungs”. The former Hawke’s Bay man announced the feat from the Bahamas yesterday, describing it as “the longest time I’ve shut up shop on breathing since my first breath”. Before the attempt he breathed pure oxygen for 10 minutes, but began the exercise with “empty lungs,” having exhaled fully. “A little extra oxygen is absorbed into blood plasma when breathing pure [oxygen].” His personal best with full lungs and regular air is eight minutes. In December last year he failed in a bid to break his own unassisted freedive world record of 101m. Although he reached the new depth of 102, the former Havelock North High School student required assistance when returning to the surface. - NZME

Aid for rugby star A Blues rugby star tipped to be a future All Black has dodged a conviction for drink driving. In Manukau District Court in July, New Zealand under-20 and Blues wing Tevita Li, 19, pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol reading of 45mg. The legal limit for under 20s is zero. Since then the case has been adjourned several times for the rugby starlet to prove he should be discharged without conviction. Yesterday Judge Gus Andree Wiltens granted that application and Li’s only penalty was to pay $210 to cover the medical costs of taking and testing his blood-alcohol level.

Scrub fire efforts Efforts to contain a large scrub fire which ripped through more than 300ha at Arthurs Pass this week may take longer than initially anticipated, after rising temperatures saw hotspots flare up yesterday. Fire authorities used thermal imaging technology to identify any hidden hotspots in the burnt and blackened terrain at Flock Hill near Craigieburn Forest Park in Canterbury. But the blaze is expected to take “a lot longer than initially anticipated” to get under control, a Department of Conservation spokeswoman said after conditions took a turn for the worse. The 8km perimeter was 80 per cent contained, but flare-ups had made getting it under control much more difficult, she said. The fire has been raging since Monday afternoon when it quickly spread to 330ha and threatened livestock and closed State Highway 73, which is the main road between the West Coast of the South Island and Christchurch.

Wharenui opening delayed By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The opening of the Hakatere Marae Wharenui will no longer take place on Waitangi weekend. It has been delayed due to the ongoing internal fit-out, with the tuku tuku panels, painting, interior carvings and other general artwork yet to be completed. The Hakatere Marae Trustees and Hakatere Marae Komiti confirmed the delay of the meeting house, named Ko Te Amorangi, that was set to be officially opened on February 7. Komiti chairman, Tipene Philip, said it was not a decision that was made lightly. Work was delayed over Christmas and Mr Philip said on reflection, it was not the best time to set deadlines. He said a number of people on the komiti had not been involved with the opening of a wharenui before, and had sought outside advice from elders when it became clear it would not be ready in time. Mr Philip said they were advised the best thing to do was to follow protocol and wait until the building was completed to open it. There is no new date set for the opening yet, as there were a lot of different groups involved with the various artwork to coordinate an end date. Mr Philip said it could be months – possibly Hakatere Marae chairman Tipene Philip pictured outside the Hakatere Marae. six – until it was finished. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 130115-TM-083

■ COUNSELLING VIA CELLPHONE

Youths prefer texts By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Many young Mid Cantabrians are favouring texting over faceto-face contact when it comes to seeking out counselling services. Ashburton private practice counsellor Anna Arrowsmith said she receives at least one every day from youth seeking help. Their inquiries ranged from confirming appointments, to checking in after a bad day. Ms Arrowsmith said she often texts back, and tries to ring when it is appropriate, but that is not always well received. “Quite often they don’t actually want to have that conversation and they actually want to communicate through texting.”

Texting might be an easier way for young people to express themselves, she said. It was as effective as the oneon-one counselling sessions, she said. It is not only youth communicating via text message though, Ms Arrowsmith said she has found her older, more “techsavvy” clients will often text to confirm or change an appointment. “It just seems to be an acceptable way of communication, the same as a phone call really,” she said. Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford said texting was cheap, easy and quick. Additionally, many clients did not have the means to afford voice services on their phones

Police stations have become “mini prisons” because of an unexpected overflow of inmates and a senior police officer fears frontline staff may be pulled from their duties to help man the cells. The Herald has learned that 70 prisoners on remand are being housed in police station cells across New Zealand – most of those in the wider Auckland area. The number is “a lot” higher than last year, and well above what Corrections forecast for the Christmas and New Year period. A senior police source says the Henderson and Counties Manukau stations are under the most strain. He said Henderson normally took up to 11 remand prisoners at a time, however, there have been up to 23 in the cells over the last month. - NZME

Teachers speechless Being a teacher doesn’t just mean losing your patience with unruly pupils – it can also mean losing your voice. The first study of its kind in New Zealand has found more than half of teachers surveyed have suffered from voice problems, ranging from hoarseness to total loss, during their careers. The findings of a nationwide survey of 1879 primary and secondary school teachers, led by University of Auckland researchers and published this week, has prompted calls for more awareness around what has been described as an overlooked and potentially damaging health risk. Of the 1081 teachers who reported any voice problems, just over half told of mild problems, while 36 per cent reported “moderate” problems and nearly 11 per cent had experienced severe or very severe issues.

Ms Hegarty said police did not believe a video of the pair uploaded to the LiveLeak website by film students on Tuesday, was a prank. She said police had spoken to the students.

“I’ve got no reason to believe that they’d be misinforming us but certainly we would appreciate if the people in the images made contact with us so that we can have a chat to them.” The masked pair also scared a young woman walking through the domain on Tuesday, Ms Hegarty said. “There’s possibly other incidents that we haven’t heard of, but we’re definitely aware of.” - NZME

Former Act Party leader John Banks will face a retrial for filing a false electoral return, SolicitorGeneral Mike Heron, QC, has confirmed. Mr Banks was convicted in the High Court last year after not disclosing donations from internet mogul Kim Dotcom to his Auckland mayoralty campaign in 2010. Last November the Court of Appeal overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial. But the decision had to be confirmed by the Solicitor-General. A Crown Law spokeswoman said Mr Heron had made that decision. No date has been set. The issue will go to the High Court in Auckland on Tuesday. - NZME

Porn habit costs job A suspended healthcare professional who admitted repeatedly viewing child pornography over a 14-year period wants to return to work. The Professional Conduct Committee (PCC) told the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal the man’s offending was unusual for its persistence. The tribunal said there was no doubt the man’s child porn habit amounted to misconduct but it reserved its decision on what his penalty would be. The practitioner, who previously held a senior position at a hospital and had name suppression, said relapses would follow periods of “abstinence” where he avoided viewing the porn images of prepubescent girls. - NZME

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF ARTS

Show and sell for local art enthusiasts

Three wise men, by Mehrdad Tahan.

BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

About a dozen Mid Canterbury artists will have their work on show at the Ashburton Society of Arts Summer Show from this weekend at the Short Street Art Studio. It opens to the public with a preview tonight at 6pm. Convener Ngaio McKee said a variety of work by society members would be exhibited and available for sale. There will also be works by guest artist Christchurch-based Mehrdad Tahan, who had previously tutored in Ashburton. He is a self-taught artist with more than 30 years of experience. Mr Tahan does traditional landscapes, cloud studies, portrait and still-life with a lot of his work using oil and charcoal however, he also uses water colours. “He does beautiful work,” Mrs McKee said. The preview evening is open to anyone to attend and gives people a chance

to see the artwork early and potentially meet the artists. She said there would be refreshments on offer. While the summer show would run for eight weeks it was a “changing exhibition” with any piece sold replaced by the artist. Local artists included Barbara

Jaine, Jen Dearborn, George Coppard, Ngaio McKee and Judith Mitchell. Mrs McKee said the studio offered local artists a place to exhibit their work, and gave others a chance to view and buy those pieces. “There isn’t a private gallery in Ash-

burton now that sells local artists’ work.” The exhibit will open Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 3pm or when the studio signs are out. However people could phone Mrs McKee on 3084533 to arrange an appointment for viewing outside those times.

Mr Gormly said. Mr Johnson told another staff member in a low voice, “I need you to go get my keys from the office and lock the doors. We’re closed. Everything is ok. Tell the staff to be calm”. Once the doors were locked, Monis put on a vest and bandanna, stood up, pulled out the shotgun and - according to one account - announced: “This is an attack, I have a bomb”. At Monis’s behest, Mr Johnson called Triple 0, saying Australia was under attack by Islamic State. By 9.51am, police were on the scene. Monis ordered the hostages to move to the northern wall of the cafe and told some to hold an Islamic flag up to the windows. After making several threats to shoot in the following hours, he fired the first of his five shots after some hostages fled the cafe in the afternoon. Then at 2.14am on December 16, he ordered Mr Johnson to kneel on the cafe floor. Holding the barrel 75cm from the back of his head, Monis fired and killed the cafe manager. A police marksman witnessed the shot and the order was made to force entry. Eleven “flash-bangs” were let off by police - creating a cacophony of 99 sounds and lights inside the cafe. Two police officers fired 22 shots, as armed tactical response officers stormed in. Ms Dawson was struck by six police bullet fragments which ricocheted into her body. She died shortly after, Mr Gormly said. At least two police bullet fragments hit Monis in the

For decades, most urban Chinese families could have only one child. Now, officials in China’s biggest city are telling young couples: Please have more children. Fan Hua of Shanghai’s family planning commission said this week that far fewer people than expected had taken advantage of a recent rule change that lets more households bear a second child. The Qianjiang Evening News quoted Fan as saying that 90 per cent of the city’s women of child-bearing age were eligible for a second child under the change made in late 2013, but that only 5 per cent had applied. Shanghai officials urged more households to do so. China’s birth rate is among the lowest of developing countries, nearly four decades after the country restricted most urban couples to having one child. - AP

The co-pilot of an AirAsia flight that crashed into the Java Sea last month was at the controls when it went down, killing all 162 people on board, investigators say. The announcement came as fishermen found two more bodies from the crash in waters off Sulawesi island in central Indonesia, around 1000 kilometres from where the plane crashed, a search and rescue official said. AirAsia Flight QZ8501 went down in stormy weather on December 28 during what was supposed to be a short trip from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. Only 72 bodies have so far been recovered. - AP

head, with 11 others peppering his body. It seems Monis was trying to re-engage another round when he died, the inquest was told. To help build a picture of why and how Monis carried out this attack, a range of witnesses will give evidence in a number of hearings. This includes hostages as well as an independent team -

made up of UK and interstate experts - that will assess the NSW police response. “If there were defects in the management of the siege they will be exposed,” Mr Gormly said. Monis’s psychiatric profile, his associations and political and religious activity, as well as his relationships, will all be examined. - AP

McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson is stepping down as the world’s biggest hamburger chain fights to hold onto customers and transform its image. The company said Thompson, who has been CEO for two-and-a-half years, will be replaced by Steve Easterbrook, a company veteran who rejoined McDonald’s as its chief brand officer in 2013. McDonald’s Corp., which has more than 36,000 locations around the world, is struggling amid intensifying competition and changing attitudes about food. Customer traffic at established locations in the US fell

In brief

Siege horrors revealed Seventeen hours after Man Haron Monis walked into Sydney’s Lindt cafe and ordered a cup of tea and cake, he forced shop manager Tori Johnson to kneel. He then shot him in the back of the head without further warning. Moments later, Sydney barrister and mother of three Katrina Dawson was killed by ricocheting police bullets in the volley of fire that followed. Such horrifying events have rarely unfolded so publicly, NSW Coroner Michael Barnes noted as he opened an inquest into their deaths in the Sydney siege. “The protracted nature of the siege; its morbid suspense and the explosive climax must have made manifold the grief of the families of the hostages who died,” Mr Barnes said. While some doubts may always remain as to what drove Monis to carry out the attack, the inquest hopes to explain virtually everything else that happened that day. What they know already is that Monis entered the cafe at about 8.33am on December 15, counsel assisting the coroner Jeremy Gormly SC said. He was dressed in long camouflage pants, a white t-shirt and a black jacket and was carrying a large black backpack and blue plastic bag, armed with a sawn-off pump action shotgun. He ordered a piece of chocolate cake and tea and, half an hour later, when seated at a table that afforded a view of the whole cafe, asked to speak to the manager. Those who knew Mr Johnson could tell he was stressed by what Monis was telling him,

ly 25 years with the company. Thompson, 51, was the first African-American to head the company since it was founded in 1955. “It’s tough to say goodbye to the McFamily, but there is a time and season for everything,” he said in a statement. A representative for McDonald’s said an unspecified number of employees at the company’s headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois and elsewhere were also notified of layoffs yesterday. Despite the pressures McDonald’s is facing, the timing of Thompson’s departure was a bit of a surprise considering

the numerous revitalisation efforts the company recently announced, said Richard Adams, a consultant for McDonald’s franchisees. Easterbrook, 48, will inherit as McDonald’s new CEO, and the changes are already under way. McDonald’s is trying to shake perceptions that fast-food is cheap, greasy and made with mysterious ingredients. McDonald’s has also conceded its menu in the US has gotten bloated. In just the past decade, the company has added 100 items to its menu. That slows down service. - AP

If you’re a woman older than 50 living in Queensland, chances are you are one of Australia’s happiest people. That means retired Olympic swimmer Lisa Curry or controversial political aspirant Pauline Hanson could be among the ranks of the nation’s most contented if the National Australia Bank’s wellbeing index is anything to go by. It found that Queenslanders are the nation’s happiest, especially if they are female, older than 50, and living in a regional city. But Victorians were rated the unhappiest, along with rural residents, women aged between 18 and 29 and those who finished their education at high school. - AP

Boat sinks, 24 missing An overloaded fishing boat carrying migrants to Malaysia sank in strong currents off the coast of Bangladesh yesterday and 24 passengers are missing. Emergency workers rescued 32 Bangladeshis in the Bay of Bengal after the boat capsized some 2.5 kilometres offshore, but others are still unaccounted for, police said. “Around two dozen people are still missing. The coast guard and police are continuing their rescue operation,” local police chief Masud Alam said. “The rescued passengers told us that the boat had up to 60 people aboard,” Alam said. “All the passengers are Bangladeshi and they were heading to Malaysia by sea illegally.” Estimates varied on the total number of passengers, with private TV station Somoy saying 100 had been on board. - AP

OUR VIEW

Deserving of Govt support Stu Oldham

EDITOR

he Government should bridge the gap between local fundraising and what it will cost to return the former Ashburton Winz building, the scene of last year’s dreadful double-killing, to its community. To do so would recognise how profoundly what happened affected the entire nation. It would be a resolute reaffirmation that all the good that was done there will not forever be redefined by such an awful incident. Community House Mid Canterbury is closing in on the $1.1 million it needs to buy the desolate building after a couple of significant community funding announcements this week. The Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury has pledged $250,000 and the Mackenzie Charitable Foundation another $100,000. They join the Ashburton District Council, which last year promised $500,000. It is testament to the value that these and other donors see in Community House that it is nearing its target so soon after starting its slick – and earnest – fundraising campaign late last year. It will apply for a Lotteries grant, but it might still face a drawn-out hunt for the money it requires to refurbish the building to meet its needs. It has been estimated that it could cost north of $700,000 to refurbish a building of that size and with dozens of tenants. That is a significant amount for an organisation whose first call is to ensure community-level social services have the space they need to put their own limited funds to work. The push for fit-out funds will be well-supported by local trusts and community groups and it is right that the community that will use the facility will take a lead in paying for it. But this building’s community widened when it became the scene of a heart-rending national tragedy. It follows that the Government should give serious consideration to whatever help it can give to get the project over the line. This is no ordinary project. It will show New Zealand how a community continues to respond to tragedy.

Going quackers over duck race

Ashburton Guardian 11

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Trafﬁc offences have skyrocketed over the past ﬁve years. Have you been ticketed? No 95%

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

xcited much! It’s been a busy week this week in radio land. We have set the date for this year’s Robbie’s Bar & Bistro – Hokonui Duck Race. March 6 is the magic day. From around 5pm until the wee small hours. I’m not exactly sure what makes it such an awesome event, I’m guessing a combination of factors. For starters, you’d be hard pressed to find better hosts than Skip and Amanda at Robbies. Skip is such a likeable bugger, I don’t think I have ever seen him without a silly grin on his mush. Amanda is very good at making sure everything ticks along nicely inside the restaurant while the duck race madness takes place outside. The course is superb as well. The anticipation of the duck’s appearance (and sometimes Skip in waders) from the culvert is something else. Craig Harrison’s commentary is always bang on the mark for the race and adds to the hype of the event. Then there’s the prizes! This year we are hoping to have $10,000 worth of prizes. We have some fantastic new additions to the prize table already this year. The Skydiving Kiwis team are putting up a tandem skydive and we have a weekend away on the Coast with accommodation, meals and tickets to the Treetop Walk just out of Greymouth. I love the duck race, it’s just a good fun night. Listen out for the quacking ducks from February 9.

Anniversary This week the team at Hokonui celebrated – with a lunch out (see selfie on Hoops on Hokonui Facebook page) – Carol John’s 15-year anniversary with the company. Fifteen years of selling air is a marvellous achievement especially with some of the “talent” (or lack of – see current breakfast show), she has had to work with. Well done Carol, thank god for hair dye eh?

business recently? What business? I’ll put them in the draw for a $55 Subway Platter.” This week we had 68 nominations and that followed on from 85 last week. I had heard a few grumblings from friends and acquaintances, that the service in town before Christmas had really slipped. I had also experienced some pretty average service before the holiday break, including a retail assistant, that I didn’t know, moaning about her boss. I really do feel sometimes, especially in the hospitality trade, some staff actually think it may hurt them in some way to say “please” or worse still “thank you”.

But rather than focus on the negatives, let’s celebrate the positives and when you get great service locally make sure you let me know and nominate that business. Well done to our two winners to date, Wise’s Pharmacy and Sparrows, keep up the great work!

■ OPINION

Money markets continue to be volatile

arkets have continued the theme of volatility this week as they process economic and political data points from around the globe as well as looking to company results. The NZX50 has continued to be upbeat, pushing to all-time highs as investors chase high yield stocks like Spark New Zealand, property sector stocks and companies from the electricity sector. A couple of weeks ago we mentioned a stock market lore that says “as goes January, so goes the market”. We will have to wait and see if this comes true for 2015. Locally, analysts looked to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Official Cash Rate announcement this week. It was expected that there would be no change to the rate and this came to fruition. Instead, most looked to the commentary for signals on future rate moves. Governor Graeme Wheeler said in his statement that the RBNZ expects to keep rates on hold for

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

sometime, however, added that “future interest rate adjustments, either up or down, will depend on the emerging flow of economic data”. This non-committal statement paves the way for the RBNZ to go either way in the future as they continue to contend with the overvalued New Zealand dollar and falling inflation. The statement yesterday appeared to have the desired affect, bringing the dollar down against our major trading partners. Globally, there was plenty to process, including the Federal Reserve statement following its two-day policy meeting from early in the week. As was the case with the RBNZ, the expectation was that there would be

no change to interest rates and instead analysts looked towards the commentary following the decision. The Fed reiterated that it would exercise patience before beginning to normalise monetary policy through interest rate rises. It acknowledged the current climate of low inflation but said that economic activity in the US has been expanding at a solid pace. This was a more bullish stance on economic conditions than had been mentioned previously. Commentary from both central bank announcements included a nod to tough conditions in other parts of the world, particularly Europe and Asia. Both acknowledged the divergence of monetary policy around the world as well as struggling commodity prices. The European Central Bank at the end of last week demonstrated this by implementing a trillion euro quantitative easing programme in order to stimulate the waning economy.

Of further concern to Europe this week was the outcome from the Greek elections. The anti-austerity Syriza party led by Alexis Tspiras has pledged to renegotiate terms of the bail-out with the troika of lenders – the European Union, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund – who imposed budgetary cuts and restructures. At the first cabinet meeting for the new government Prime Minister Tspiras was determined to not let voters down, pledging radical change to policy and administration. Greece has been warned by members of the EU to stick to its commitments or risk default. Default would more than likely see Greece forced out of the euro. The US reporting season is well under way at the moment with 129 of S&P500 having reported with 95 of these having beaten analyst estimates. The tech sector is the stand out so far showing growth of over 16 per cent for the quarter. As

was expected, the energy sector is the biggest laggard declining almost 25 per cent. The stand-out performer in terms of individual companies so far goes to Apple, reporting a record result. Revenue for the quarter hit $74.6 billion with a net profit of $18 billion. The result was fuelled by record revenues from iPhone and Mac sales as well as a record performance from the App Store. The iPhone 6 plus proved a popular choice for customers helping to boost sales to record levels. The company sold 74.5 million iPhones of the quarter which equates to a huge 34,000 iPhone sales an hour. This week look for results from BP, GlaxoSmithKline, Syngenta, Statoil and Cummins.

NZ’s first trade deficit for Dec in four years BY TINA MORRISON New Zealand posted its first trade deficit for a December month in four years as aircraft and mobile phones boosted imports while declining milk powder prices pulled down exports. The country turned to a $159 million trade deficit in December 2014, from a surplus of $492 million in the year-earlier month, Statistics New Zealand said in a statement. The deficit was wider than the $26 million expected in a Reuters poll of economists. Exports fell 6.9 per cent to $4.42 billion in December from the year earlier month, ahead of the $4.21 billion Reuters estimate. Imports advanced 7.6 per cent to $4.58 billion, above the $4.24 billion expected. New Zealand exports in December were pulled lower by declining values for milk products, the nation’s largest export. The value of whole milk powder exports slumped 35 per cent even as the volume in-

creased 9.8 per cent as higher production and weak demand pushed down global prices. Meanwhile the value of imports jumped higher, led by a 44 per cent increase in capital goods, bolstered by aircraft imports from the US and increased importation of mobile phones. Excluding the large capital items, imports in December were 2.6 per cent ahead of the year earlier month, Statistics

NZ said. New Zealand would have had a trade surplus of $56 million in December had it not been for the aircraft imports, the agency said. The annual trade deficit widened to $1.15 billion in 2014, from $317 million in 2013. Annual exports rose 4.3 per cent to $50.09 billion, led by milk powder, while imports increased 6 per cent to a record $51.24 billion, led by aircraft and parts, the agency said. China was New Zealand’s largest trading partner in 2014, reflecting its position as the biggest export destination and largest source of imports. – NZME

■ CRIME IN 3D

Laser image of crime scenes A new and improved laser that can quickly and accurately build a 3D colour image of crime scenes will bring new clarity to New Zealand courtrooms. Environmental Science and Research (ESR) yesterday demonstrated to media the new Focus3D x 130 laser modelling technology that forensic scientists will be able to use from next month. ESR forensic scientists will be able to produce digital images that are accurate reconstructions of crime scenes used to present evidence to juries in criminal court trials. Built by world-leading German company Faro, the $60,000 device works by quickly shooting millions of lasers in all directions around a room, recording measurements of all the scanned surfaces. The data is then processed by software to accurately build a 3D representation of the measured space. Forensic scientists Jason Barr said the device will mean crime scene analyses can be done

faster and with more precision than ESR’s current laser, an earlier model of Faro scanner purchased in 2012. It can measure the position, size and orientation of evidence such as firearm trajectories or blood patterns and present them clearly and precisely to juries in court cases. “It’s a huge step up on all lev-

els, it’s a huge step in being able to record a crime scene because you can’t record every single measurement in a crime scene manually ... down to millimetre accuracy,” he said. ESR forensic programme manager Dr Jill Vintiner said: “It enables complex evidence to be simplified and easily available to juries, so we know

that it will be particularly helpful for juries and will be a very useful tool in our crime scene investigations.” The new laser will mean ESR can conduct more investigations, faster. The current laser is used primarily in Auckland, but will be used throughout New Zealand. - NZH

Apple caught up with Samsung as the world’s biggest smartphone vendor in the fourth quarter of 2014, thanks to booming sales of its new iPhone 6, market researcher Strategy Analytics says. Apple reported a record net profit of $US18 billion in the quarter, on the back of what the California tech titan described as “staggering” iPhone 6 sales - especially in China. Its South Korean rival, on the other hand, has seen its quarterly profits slashed in 2014, in the face of escalating competition at every price point. Strategy Analytics said Apple shipped 74.5 million handsets in the fourth quarter, compared to 51 million a year ago. - AFP

For the seventh quarter in a row Facebook beat profit and revenue forecasts, continuing to win more mobile advertising revenue as most users shift to using the site on smartphones and other portable devices. The company, which turns 11 years old this year, began offering mobile ads in 2012, the year its stock began publicly trading. More recently, Facebook expanded into video ads, which are very lucrative, and last year it relaunched Atlas, a tool for marketers to better target people across “devices, platforms and publishers” and to measure how well the ads work. Revenue grew to $3.85bn from $2.59bn a year earlier. - NZH

Traffic app upsets cops A US law enforcement campaign to compel Google Inc. to disable a feature in its popular Waze traffic app that lets drivers warn others about nearby police activity shifted yesterday when a sheriffs’ organisation openly complained that the app not only puts officers’ lives at risk, it also interferes with the ability to write speeding tickets. The National Sheriffs’ Association, which had focused its complaints about Waze on police safety after the fatal shootings of two New York City police officers in December, expanded its campaign in a new statement criticising Google’s software as hampering the use of speed traps. The trade association said radar guns and other speed enforcement techniques have reduced highways deaths. - NZH

Strong squad to defend shield By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will send a strong senior team to their first Browning Shield defence in 33 years this weekend in Lincoln. They won the symbol of Canterbury country tennis supremacy in Ashburton last year for the first time since the 1980-81 summer and this year a combined Mid CanterburyWest Coast team will attempt to bring the shield back to Ashburton.

The shield changed format three years ago to have all the teams compete at one venue over one weekend, with the last two shield tournaments held at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, but this year has moved to courts at Lincoln and Springston. Each match consists of six men’s and six women’s singles, three men’s and three women’s doubles and six mixed doubles. The team has named the extended squad of 20 so that they can utilise their singles

and doubles specialists in each tie. The Mid Canterbury team once again a family affair with a mix of youth and experience, but missing some of last year’s winning team due to change in dates clashing with harvest and the Australian Open. There are three Brosnahans, three Leonards, two McCanns, two McCanns and two from the Ness clan in the squad. Ashleigh Leonard and Neil McCann the current Gala Cup champions, with seven time

men’s Gala Cup champion Rhys Cromie and three time women’s Gala Cup champion Rebecca Robinson are in the mix. They are ably supported by two West Coast doubles specialists in Kerry Price and Brian Blackburn. Mid Canterbury plays North Canterbury first up tomorrow, followed by Malvern, with the doubles and mixed doubles on Saturday and the 12 singles matches on Sunday before taking on Ellesmere Sunday afternoon.

Williams, Sharapova into Open final By John saLvado The world’s best two players, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, will continue their longstanding rivalry in the Australian Open final tomorrow. The pair recorded contrasting straight-sets victories yesterday. Sharapova was the first to book a spot in the decider, thumping fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-3 6-2 in 87 minutes. World No.1 Williams was made to work considerably harder by fellow American Madison Keys, before finally triumphing 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 on her ninth match point.

Williams will start as a heavy favourite in the final, having won her past 15 matches against Sharapova over the last decade. Keys, a teenager showing no nerves in her first major semifinal, pushed Williams into a tiebreak in the first set and saved two set points with aces, only for the 18-time grand slam champion to prevail at the third attempt. In the second set, the 19-yearold saved seven match points in a marathon seventh game which lasted for 11 minutes, forcing Williams to serve the match out. Williams needed an ace on her ninth match point to finally close out the semi-final after

one hour and 24 minutes. “I’m really excited to be in the final again,” said the 33-year-old Williams, a five-time Australian Open champion. “I didn’t come here with that expectation, so it’s really exciting.” Sharapova has only dropped one set in six career meetings against Makarova, who came into yesterday’s match in career-best form, having reached the semis at each of the last two majors. Sharapova has one Australian Open title to her name. “It’s so special,” said the 27-year-old Sharapova. “It’s been a strange road for me to get to the final but I’m here and I’m very happy.” - AAP Maria Sharapova: In hot form.

Ashburton rowers head south hoping for a full weekend of rowing at Lake Ruataniwha for the South Island Club Championships this weekend. The recent Canterbury Club Championships saw the completion of the heats on the Saturday before they were blown off the lake for the finals on the Sunday. The Ashburton College crews, and all the other secondary school squads, will be keen for a full weekend of competitive rowing, with a month’s break before the business end of their season. There is a month until the South Island Secondary Schools’ Regatta in early March at Ruataniwha and the Maadi Cup National champions two weeks later at Lake Karapiro.

Rennie’s options open Dave Rennie is not putting all his coaching eggs in the All Blacks basket for when his new Chiefs contract expires in 2017. Steve Hansen’s All Blacks contract also expires at the end of 2017 so there will be two prime vacancies arising at the same time. Rennie has talked about a shift overseas both recently and in the past, but the All Blacks posting is something he would look at, rather than actively covet. “You’d never say no [to considering it], but it’s just coincidental with the timing,” he said. “We’d been talking about adding two years on to my contract. Steve (Hansen) signing for a couple more years is probably coincidental but, ultimately, I’d love to go overseas at some stage.” - NZME

England sparks up Golf, beach, and fireworks - it’s not your average build-up to a game, but England hope their recent down time in Australia will end up boosting their World Cup title hopes. A week-long break between games in the current tri-series has given England’s players plenty of time to unwind and get their mind off cricket. The Australia Day fireworks proved to be a popular attraction, while rounds of golf and visits to Perth’s beaches have also been on the itinerary. The players have been back hard at work in recent days in preparation for today’s oneday clash with India at the WACA Ground, with the winner to meet Australia in Sunday’s final. - AAP

Matthew leads the charge

Irving running hot

By Jonathan Leask

The Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten Portland 99-94 to extend their winning streak to eight games behind an electric performance from Kyrie Irving. Irving tallied a careerhigh 55 points, which included a team-record 11 three pointers in front of a crowd of 20,500 at the Quicken Loans Arena yesterday. His final dagger from beyond the arc came with just six seconds left and gave the Cavaliers the lead for good. “He delivered,” said Cavs coach David Blatt. “I’ve seen a lot of great performances, but something quite like that? No.” - AFP

Swimmer Matthew Harford looks set for another big finish to his season. Harford collected eight titles at the Canterbury Championships, held in conjunction with the Otago Championships in Dunedin last weekend. Eight Ashburton swimmers attended the championships and all eight collected a medal, while personal bests came thick and fast. Harford was the top performer with his eight titles in the 13-14-year-old boys’ races, with wins in the 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 1500m freestyle, 100m and 200m butterfly and the 400m IM. Harford also had a silver in the 100m backstroke. He finished last season with haul of nine medals at the New Zealand Age Group Championships in Wellington, with four gold, four silver and a bronze. If he carries on his current form he could be set for another big haul in May. Lucy Clough collected a title in the 15-16-year-old 400m IM and Aimee Elliott won gold in the 14-and under 1500m freestyle. Caitlin Johnstone didn’t win a title but went close, with five silver medals. Mitchell Woolf also had a good meet where he improved by a whopping 13 seconds in the 15-16-year-olds 400 individual medley and by 12 seconds in the 1500m freestyle.

Proteas crush Windies Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw both hit centuries for the second time in the series to set up a 131run win for South Africa in the fifth and final one-day international at SuperSport Park yesterday. Amla made 133 and Rossouw powered his way to 132 in a South African total of 5-361 in an innings reduced to 42 overs because of rain. West Indies were bowled out for 230 in reply with left-arm pace bowler Wayne Parnell taking four for 42. The win completed a 4-1 series victory for South Africa in the last match both teams will play before travelling to Australia and New Zealand for the World Cup. - AFP

Slump ‘not a worry’ He’s in the form slump from hell, but Indian batsman Shikhar Dhawan only needs a solid 10 minutes in the middle to regain his magical touch, according to one-day skipper MS Dhoni. Dhawan has endured a forgettable tour to Australia, with the 29-year-old averaging just 17 across 11 knocks in Test, one-day and warm-up matches. The opener is under increasing pressure to hold his spot ahead of the World Cup, but Dhoni is backing Dhawan to bounce back to form as early as today’s crunch clash with England at the WACA Ground. - AAP

Legal action threatened The Professional Footballers Association has threatened legal action over Newcastle Jets’ attempts to axe five senior players. As the turmoil surrounding the embattled A-League club descended into farce, PFA chief executive Adam Vivian threw his full support behind captain Kew Jaliens, David Carney, Adrian Madaschi, Joel Griffiths and Billy Celeski, who were all sensationally sacked by Newcastle on Wednesday. Vivian said due process had not been followed and that the five players were still legally contracted to the club and protected by the A-League’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA). - AAP

In brief

Solid start to new season BY DANIEL RICHARDSON Lydia Ko has made a promising start to the season-opening Coates Golf Championship on the LPGA Tour in Florida. The 17-year-old carded a four-under 68 yesterday as she moved to a share of sixth place, two strokes behind early leaders Stacy Lewis, Jessica Korda and Azahara Munoz who are all in a tie for first at six-under. Ko, who topped last year’s order of merit in her rookie season on tour, made six birdies and two bogeys during her round at the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club. A handful of players were yet to finish their opening round when play was suspended due to darkness. Ko said this week she had no concerns about second-year syndrome as she looked to carry on last season’s good work. “I’d like to continue the consistent form that I had last year. Hopefully I won’t have the sophomore jinx,” Ko said. “The number of tournaments that I play will be similar to last year but this time I am familiar with most of the courses so I’ll be a bit more comfortable my second time around.” Ko will soon head to tournaments in the Bahamas and Melbourne to start her LPGA Tour campaign before playing in next month’s New Zealand Women’s Open at Clearwater. - NZME

Australian golfer Brad Kennedy hasn’t been sighted at the New Zealand Open since he won the tournament in 2011. But that will change this year as he leads a 21-strong group of Japan Golf Tour regulars who will contest the event in Queenstown in March, including seven of the top 30 from the Japan Tour’s 2014 money list. Aside from Kennedy, leading the Japan challenge is Yusaku Miyazato, who finished 11th on the money list last year. They are backed up by leading Kiwis Michael Hendry and David Smail, both of whom have full status on the Japan Tour. - NZME

British Open winner Kel Nagle is being remembered as the “great gentleman of golf” after the Australian died, aged 94. The icon died peacefully in the early hours yesterday morning at Sydney’s Mona Vale Hospital, his family said in a statement. Nagle won the Open in 1960 at the age of 39, beating Arnold Palmer by one shot at the centenary event at St Andrews. It was but one of 80 professional tournament wins worldwide. - AAP

Injury scare for James Cavaliers superstar LeBron James will sit out tonight’s game against Portland with a sprained right wrist sustained in a hard fall at Detroit. James got hurt late in the third quarter when he fell after trying to block a shot by Pistons guard Jodie Meeks. James put out both hands to break his fall as he crashed to the floor. James finished the game, scoring 32 points as the Cavs won their seventh straight. James acknowledged he was scared when he fell because he broke his left wrist on a similar play at high school. - AP

Defence key for Warriors at the Nines The Warriors are set to temper their all-out attacking mind-set and put more of an emphasis on defence at this weekend’s NRL Auckland Nines. Rest assured, fans are still certain to see the likes of captain Shaun Johnson, Sam Tomkins and Tuimoala Lolohea turn on the afterburners and play plenty of expansive footy at Eden Park, but coach Andrew McFadden has been driving home the importance of defence as they strive to claim their first competition title. “We’ve got certain expectations and standards around our defence the players who have been picked have to uphold,” McFadden explained. “It’s certainly been a priority in our training, defensive technique, so I think it will certainly come into play in this tournament again.

“The biggest thing is, last year no one really knew how it was going to be played, but I think defences will be far more prepared this year.” To counter that perceived tactical shift, the Warriors have enlisted plenty of their big men to pave the way through the middle and draw in defenders to free up the space out wide. The ball-playing ability of their forwards will provide their playmakers and support runners with plenty of options and McFadden says it’s a trend he’s noticed throughout the other Nines squads. “We’ll see how it pans out but I think that’s where our big men will really come into their

own, particularly guys like Suaia Matagi, Ben Matulino, Sione Lousi, they’re going to be a handful in the middle and I’ve noticed some other teams have picked it that way too.” The Warriors’ decision to include many of their biggest name players in the two-day event comes with undoubted risk ahead of the NRL season start, and other rival coaches have failed to share McFadden’s enthusiasm for the short-format tournament. Balancing the club’s desire to lift the trophy on Sunday evening is the need to evenly spread the workload over the weekend to reduce the risk of fatigue and injury. “It [squad rotation] is very important but obviously it’s still important

to get to the knockout stage,” said McFadden. “That’s something we’ll be aware of, if we manage to get up a couple of games we might be able to rotate but we certainly want to make sure that that first day we play well so we’ll be putting in our best side.” With the home side fulfilling a plethora of promotional obligations and functions throughout a week-long build-up of events and festivities, McFadden hopes his players can take it all in their stride. Johnson agrees the excitement around the team is palpable but after last year’s disappointing exit at the semi-final stage he confirmed there is only one thing on their mind: Winning. “Clearly. We choked in the semis so we’re hoping to go one better and it would be awesome if we could win,” Johnson said. - NZH

New Zealand skipper Simon Mannering has taken been awarded the Kiwis Player of the Year award. The Warriors backrower led the Kiwis to the Four Nations title in October, beating the Kangaroos in the final and the pools rounds, to secure back-to-back wins over Australia for the first time in 60 years. Mannering beat off Golden Boot winner Shaun Johnson and Jess Bromwich to take the award. - AAP

One-off test in May The Kangaroos will play New Zealand in a stand-alone representative weekend in Queensland in May. Ahead of the official 2015 season launch in Auckland last night, Suncorp Stadium has been unveiled by the NRL as the venue for this year’s May 1 trans-Tasman Test. The one-off Test between the traditional rivals coincides with the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli. - AAP

Reds debut for Hunt Karmichael Hunt has been named to make his first appearance in a Queensland Reds jersey in tomorrow’s trial against the Melbourne Rebels in Cairns. But fellow recruit James O’Connor is among a 10-man casualty list of players unavailable either due to injury or recent surgery. O’Connor is carrying a knee injury but coach Richard Graham said he will be fit for the Reds’ clash with the Highlanders next week. - AAP

■ CRICKET

Scorchers take out BBL thriller By Steve Zemek The Perth Scorchers spoiled the party for Australian pace great Brett Lee after winning back-to-back Big Bash League titles with a thrilling four-wicket win over the Sydney Sixers in Canberra on Wednesday night. The Scorchers snuck home with the last ball after a cameo by former English Test batsman Michael Carberry (9 off 7) nudged them past the Sixers’ target of 148. In a game that took numerous twists and turns, the Sixers failed in their chance to tie the game and send the match into a super over after botching a run-out opportunity with the last ball. Captain Moises Henriques fumbled a throw at the stumps with Yasir Arafat well short of the crease. The match came down to Lee’s final over with the Scorchers requiring eight runs. Just when it looked like the Scorchers would get over the line a few balls up their sleeve, Lee (3-25) removed Nathan Coulter-Nile and Sam Whiteman with successive balls. Earlier, Shaun Marsh provided the platform for the Scorchers’ win, hitting 73 off 59. The match was 38-year-old Lee’s last in a career that included 76 Tests, 221 ODIs and 116 first class matches. The Sixers looked to have fallen short after setting the Scorchers 148 for victory. Lee and Australian Test spinner Nathan Lyon (2-34) took wickets at key moments but could not do enough. Earlier, Henriques and Ryan Carters produced some late hitting to guide the Sydney Sixers to 5-147. The Sixers looked to be in big trouble at 4-54 after 10 overs, after the Perth attack ripped through their top order. However, Henriques (77 off 57) and Ryan Carters (35 off 25) dragged them back into the contest during a 98-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Jason Behrendorff, who the night before was named Australian domestic cricketer of the year at the Allan Border Medal ceremony, led the Scorchers attack with 1-19 off four overs. Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Yasir Arafat and Brad Hogg all took one wicket each for the Scorchers. - AAP

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) A sense of synchronicity and an ease of rapport makes this a day that is equally good for making new contacts and catching up with old friends. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) A nose for money kicks in just as you reach a point in your new professional year where it’s time to start playing a more strategic game. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) There is a valuable chance today to pause, reflect and look back at the year but also to look forward to where to from here. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) It was only over the holiday period that you finally got a chance to see how enjoyable slowing down can be, but it’s something you don’t have to let go. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While this is a good day for friendship and relationship building it needs to happen naturally, with the right moments presenting at the right time. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The Moon’s return to your career sector will ensure that your professional instincts are sharp as work matters move into a more strategic phase. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) There is a sense of rebellion in the air today, for just as things come together on the work front, adventurous lunar vibes come into play. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) An alignment between the Sun and Mercury in your home and family sector brings a mix of intellectual savvy, foresight and hindsight. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There is an opportunity today for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough, able to give the past and unsaid words a voice. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You’re likely to have an intuitive read on the dynamics in play on the work front today, just as things are starting to come together on the income front. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With the Sun in direct and Mercury in retrograde motion in your sign you’re moving into your new solar year with an eye in the rear view mirror. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) There’s a danger of missing valuable insights if your day is too busy and you don’t let your imagination, daydreams and mind simply wander.

Instant reward for ‘bowling straight’ BY JONATHAN LEASK

Methven’s Louis McDonald made an instant impact in Mid Canterbury senior cricket. The 15-year-old got the call up to the senior ranks for the final round Pritchard Shield match against Coldstream last weekend. McDonald was a “bit surprised” to be chucked the new ball for the second over in the

second innings, but he struck with his first ball to dismiss Sam Turner, catching an edge through to the keeper. “I was a bit surprised to get thrown the ball that early and I was just thinking ‘bowl straight’,” McDonald said. He finished with 1/21 from his six overs but was hoping to add a few more senior scalps by season’s end. McDonald had been playing

in the new fifth grade competition, a year 9-10 grade that merged with South Canterbury, but is now too old for the grade meaning the step up to senior is a permanent one. On his debut as well as one wicket he scored one run before being stumped in Methven’s 186, which they defended, dismissing Coldstream for 74. The result over Coldstream made it back-to-back wins for

Methven after their record 349run loss to Allenton, and they will be out to keep that momentum going when the Muirhead Rosebowl begins at Waitangi Weekend. This weekend the Pritchard Shield comes to conclusion when Tech meets Lauriston B in a catch-up game where a win would give Tech the Shield. The other two matches were played earlier in January but

with Lauriston B unable to play that day, Tech agreed to keep to the scheduled date of this weekend, with the round originally to be played at Christchurch Show weekend before all the teams agreed to take that weekend off. Allenton, Lauriston A and Tech are currently tied with seven wins each, leaving Tech needing a result to lift the shield.

Imperious Sangakkara century sinks Black Caps Sri Lanka have kept the intrigue alive for the unofficial eighth match of their one-day international series to take place in Christchurch on February 14 at the World Cup. Last night in Wellington they dismantled New Zealand to win by 34 runs in a dead rubber

which meant the series finished 4-2. New Zealand showed glimpses of batting hope in their 253. Captain Kane Williamson made 54, Luke Ronchi 47, Daniel Vettori 35, Kyle Mills 30 and Corey Anderson 29 but they were minor scores compared to

Serena into Open final P15

Kumar Sangakkara’s anchoring role of 113 off 105 balls which trumped them to guarantee a result in the visitors’ favour. The 21st ODI century from the former Sri Lankan captain ensured New Zealand tested their chasing skills. Without a resting Brendon

McCullum and struggling openers, given Martin Guptill’s lack of form and Tom Latham’s limited experience, a weakness was exposed. It was the first time in 11 innings of 50 or more that Williamson had been in a losing New Zealand team.

The hosts executed a spirited effort, highlighted by the seventh-wicket partnership of 74 from 57 balls between Ronchi and Vettori which illustrated further batting depth in the World Cup build-up. Mills’ cameo was also welcome at No.9. - NZH
