THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Binge leads to brutal bashing An Ashburton teenager had been on a three-day drinking binge, before he launched an unprovoked attack on a man, leaving him with brain damage.

Vincent James Kuru-Nathan appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday, where he vacated his previous not guilty plea, and admitted a charge of assaulting Jeff Hill, with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Kuru-Nathan had earlier admitted two counts of common assault in relation to the attack in the early hours of March 23.

The court was told Mr Hill and mate Shaun Bovey had been at a friend’s house earlier in the evening, before heading into the Ashburton CBD with a group of people. Over the course of the night most of their friends drifted off, leaving Mr Hill, Mr Bovey and a third man to find their way home.

The trio were on East Street when they met then 18-year-old Kuru-Nathan and at least five associates, who had crossed the road to accost them shortly before 2.40am.

Mr Hill was heard to say: “Come on guys, we are just having a good time – leave us alone”, before Kuru-Nathan ambushed him from the left and punched him in the face.

Mr Bovey attempted to block a second punch using his arm; KuruNathan retailitated by punching him, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

The defendant then focused his attention back on Mr Hill, landing a second blow to his head and causing him to “drop like a stone”. Witnesses heard a “resounding crack” as his head hit the footpath.

Unconscious and unresponsive, Mr Hill was taken to Ashburton Hospital, then transferred to Christchurch with two skull fractures and a brain bleed.

He has since been diagnosed with post traumatic amnesia, has problems recognising people and recalling events, and faces a lengthy recovery.

In explanation Kuru-Nathan said he been drinking heavily for three days beforehand.

He was remanded in custody for sentencing on November 10.

Jennifer Lawrence has been targeted once more in the celebrity hacking scandal as more private images of the actress hit the internet over the weekend. Intimates snaps of The Hunger Games star emerged in the first series of leaks last month and now 55 more images of the actress have surfaced on web, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six. In August, Lawrence’s representative denounced the “flagrant violation of privacy” and demanded the prosecution of the perpetrators.

Fat shaming criticised Michelle Bridges has slammed the latest trend for fat-shaming. The Biggest Loser trainer said fatshaming was clearly not the right message for promoting fitness and branded it “unhelpful”. Fatshaming has been a hot topic in the media recently as The Daily Telegraph was accused of fat-shaming Seven Network’s Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage by publishing photographs of her running errands, and talking about how she is groomed by a team of stylists to appear on the breakfast show. The article spawned a debate that the paper was “fat-shaming” the presenter, though the journalist never actually mentioned the presenter’s weight or size. On the issue of fat-shaming, Bridges said it wasn’t a helpful way to encourage anybody to get healthy. “As long as you’re healthy, it doesn’t matter really what shape, or size or height you are,” Bridges said while appearing at the Nickelodeon Awards in Sydney. “We all need to check in with regards to the food that we’re eating ... but as long as you’re getting consistent exercise and you’re eating healthily, by shaming someone it’s just unhelpful in every way.”

Cleese’s reason to remember NZ Legendary British funnyman John Cleese has revealed that he lost his virginity in New Zealand – at the age of 24.

Cleese, 74, has spoken candidly about his formative years in a new autobiography So, Anyway, which is published next month. In the book, the Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and A Fish Called Wanda star reveals that he did not lose his virginity until he was almost 25 while on tour with the Cambridge Circus show in New Zealand, at the start of the Swinging Sixties. Before then, there had been little more than innocent hand-holding with girls, he told the Sunday Times in an interview. “Don’t forget, I came from a particular section of society. In Weston-superMare, it was a very asexual atmosphere,” he said. “Girls just weren’t around. I know that’s an extraordinary thing to say but they weren’t around. When I was teaching (at his prep school before going to Cambridge), I took out the local doctor’s daughter and we had a perfectly nice, polite conversation but the idea that anything would have happened physically just wasn’t on the cards.”

‘Rod Stewart’ warning Rod Stewart’s manager has warned fans to be aware of an impostor pretending to be the ageing rocker in New York City.

Stewart’s longtime manager Arnold Steifel has denied that pictures of ‘Stewart’ asleep on the subway are real and has warned fans to not be fooled by the fraudster. He tells New York Post gossip column Page Six: “The real Rod has seen the picture, and he thought it was funny, but he said, ‘Please let people know it isn’t me’... This has been going on for years.” According to the website, the phoney Stewart has been duping fans and businesses into thinking he is the real deal and the impostor has been showered with free meals and alcohol. It is not known if this is the work of one man or a few lookalikes.

■ REAL ESTATE

School zones hone buyers’ focus

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Bulging rolls could see school zoning become the ultimate driver when it comes to families buying homes in the Ashburton District.

Thirteen of the district’s schools have enrolment zones in place, all are taking varying numbers of out-of-zone pupils and some have now reached capacity.

Hampstead principal Peter Melrose has 70 out-of-zone pupils on his books. He’s now forced to “politely decline” extra

enrolments and he knows he’s not alone in facing that dilemma.

While the Ministry of Education will fund extra teachers as out-of-zone pupils boost rolls, it will not fund extra accommodation.

“Once you’re out of space, that’s it,” he said.

If other schools with zones were in the same situation, school zones could start coming into play when families were buying homes, Mr Melrose said.

Principals’ association chair Chris Murphy’s school, Methven Primary, was also at its limit

with out-of-zone enrolments.

“We’re squashed for space at the moment and we’d have to think through taking any more,” he said.

The zoning issue was complicated by families moving between dairy farms preferring to transport their children to their original school for continuity of education, he said.

School communities were working with the Ministry of Education to find solutions, but there wasn’t an easy fix, he said.

“It’s a tough job resolving this. It’s not something we’ve

undertaken lightly, we’re very conscious of the ramifications and if we end up robbing Peter to pay Paul, someone will be upset.”

If the outcome was the enforcement of school zones, that could well be the catalyst for Christchurch style house hunting driven by proximity to a school of choice, the district’s real estate agents say.

While an area’s school is not currently ranked as important by home buyers, Sue Prendergast had her first taste of zone driven buying last weekend.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

“These particular buyers had been around the schools, found two they preferred and were only looking in those areas,” she said.

Zoning was still not on the horizon for home buyers, Bayleys agent Debbie Boon said, but parents often opted to drive their children to their original school if the moved to another part of town.

In Christchurch, zone driven buying is forcing families to pay what sales agents describe as “silly money” for properties in areas with popular schools.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Witness tells of scooter on fatal crossing A witness has described watching events unfold in slow motion in the moments before an Ashburton man was struck by a vehicle on a controversial pedestrian crossing in Tinwald.

She was the first to be called to the stand in a defended hearing, which began in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Frank Tully, 89, died after he was struck by a vehicle towing a trailer, while riding his mobility scooter across a controversial pedestrian crossing in

Tinwald in June last year.

Tw e n t y - t h r e e - ye a r - o l d Nicholas James Lawson was later charged with careless use of a motor vehicle causing death.

Police allege the defendant knew the crossing was there, but still failed to slow down; that he was driving at speeds above the 50km/h limit and that he saw Mr Tully too late, despite the fact he was clearly visible.

During yesterday’s hearing, before Judge Joanne Maze, po-

lice prosecutor sergeant Mike Wingfield first called Jennifer Reed to the stand.

She described following a company van towing a trailer carrying a scissor lift south through Tinwald.

Shortly before the pedestrian crossing she noticed a mobility scooter travelling at speed, turn onto the crossing into the path of the van.

Recognising she would need to brake, and concerned about being rear ended by following vehicles, she indicated, pulled

to the left and stopped.

She watched the van collide with Mr Tully, saying it happened in a matter of seconds, although it appeared in slow motion at the time.

Following her evidence, much of yesterday’s hearing was devoted to legal matters surrounding the disclosure of police evidence.

The hearing will continue this morning where expert witnesses are expected to appear, for both the defence and the prosecutions.

The University of Otago’s ban on pornography in residential colleges is being slammed as an attack on student freedom.

Genetics student and former Toroa College resident Anton Hovius, 19, yesterday attacked what he called “draconian” alcohol and internet usage policies at Dunedin’s residential colleges.

Internet access at the colleges most are university owned - runs through the university’s network.

Certain websites, including file sharing and pornography sites, are blocked.

University student accommodation director James Lindsay rejected Mr Hovius’ concerns, saying the primary aim of colleges was to provide an environment where students could focus on their studies.

Mr Hovius, who recently unsuccessfully stood for OUSA’s colleges officer position, said he was not the only one who felt this was an unfair restriction on student freedom.

“I know a couple of friends who have been given warning notices from [Information Technology Services] down at the university, informing of their inappropriate use of university resources.”

As adults, students in halls should not be limited from using the internet as they saw fit, which included accessing pornography and file sharing sites.

“It doesn’t make sense when you are paying $340 bucks a week [which covers full board and food], to have the university interfering with what you are doing in your private time.”

There was also “widespread” concern over increasingly harsh alcohol polices at many of the colleges.

■ SUPER NANNY

In brief

Nanny to stars shares tips

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Ashburton parents were treated to a taste of Tinseltown when former celebrity nanny Dorothy Waide hosted two workshops over the weekend.

The two Sleeping and Settling workshops were held at the Ashburton Parents Centre on Sunday, and focused on holistic approaches to sleep, settling and eating habits in babies and toddlers.

Ms Waide formerly served as a nanny to Hollywood A-listers such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer, and now shares her expertise on infant and toddler care on her own website.

Ms Waide has been volunteering at Parent Centres around the country, helping them raise money by holding workshops and seminars.

“Parent Centres are run by volunteers, and volunteers do a very hard job,” she said.

Ms Waide believed in nurturing and holistic approaches to childcare.

“Part of being a mum is listening to your baby. A lot of

people say that holding a baby is spoiling a baby, how ridiculous is that,” she said.

She said turnout at the workshops in Ashburton had been good, and parents were “absolutely” receptive to her methods.

“I try to bring everyone on board, to get a village that’s going to support them,” she said.

She also taught physical movement, and believed the way babies were held was very important.

According to her website, Ms Waide has had nearly 30 years of experience with baby nursing and sleep settling, and she has a simple philosophy.

“I firmly believe that there is no right or wrong way of dealing with a baby – there are only easy ways and hard ways. My only non-negotiables are quality sleep and good food – twin pillars for a happy, nurtured baby.”

Ashburton County Scottish Society is holding its Ceilidh concert at the Ashburton Centre. It will take place on October 5 at 2pm. There will be local entertainment, bagpipe music and Scottish dancing and singing. Raffles will be running and afternoon tea is provided, entry fee is $5.

Nats sign up Act The Act Party has signed a deal to work with National for another three years, but the agreement does not include a ministerial portfolio for new MP David Seymour. Mr Seymour, 31, has been given the roles of Parliamentary Under Secretary to the Minister of Education and Parliamentary Under Secretary to the Minister of Regulatory Reform. The roles were more junior than a minister or associate minister but were still executive positions and carried some responsibility. National Party leader John Key made the announcement yesterday as Act signed a confidence and supply agreement with the Nationalled government for the third consecutive term.

Students want skatepark progress By susan sanDys

susan.s@theguarDian.co.nz

“What happened to the skatepark?” Mount Hutt College students asked Methven Community Board members at the board’s six-weekly meeting yesterday.

Year 8 pupils Joe McIntosh and Ellie Boekholt were speaking at the meeting as part of the Ashburton District Council’s youth forum.

“Not everyone is good at team sports, so this can be a great substitute,” Joe said of skateboarding.

Among other things the two youngsters wanted to see in Methven, were a flying fox at the Methven Railway Reserve, toilet seats at the town’s public loos, a dog park in the town ideally located in the empty section behind Methven Supervalue - and the removal of about five reserve trees where youth sometimes congregated.

Board member Liz McMillan said the skatepark, which is a project being pursued by KidzMethven for an empty Main Street section next to the reserve, was “a work in progress”.

A body believed to be Jeremy Charles Brons was recovered from the Grey River by police yesterday.

The body was found about 1km downstream from where Mr Brons was last seen. Mr Brons was the navigator in a four-wheeldrive trek that involved crossing the Upper Grey River, a couple of hundred metres away from Staircase Creek, near Waipuna.

He was in the lead of five vehicles trying to cross the river, swollen by rain, when his vehicle became stranded. As water poured into the cab, everyone climbed on to the roof but Mr Brons tied a rope around himself to try to make it to shore, but he was pulled under the water.

Elderly woman bashed Police are hunting a man who punched an 83-year-old woman to the ground in a “distressing” assault in Napier. The elderly woman was walking along the footpath outside The Pie and Patty Pan Bakery in Marewa when a man on a push bike lashed out.

Police said she had walked past the bakery and come to a point on the footpath that was only wide enough for one person. She called out to a man approaching her on his push bike, asking him to give way. He ignored her request and as he rode past, punched her on the arm, causing her to fall to the ground. She received extensive bruising and a back injury. - APNZ Mount Hutt College Year 8 pupils Joe McIntosh and Ellie Boekholt explain to Methven Community Board members what is needed to improve the town.

is because there’s only two or three of us adults who is putting time into it,” Ms McMillan said.

The group also needs funding.

Methven youth mentor Juanita Richards, who was with the two students as they made their presentation, said they would take that information back to their school and canvass for

more parental support for the project.

Board member Dan McLaughlin explained that the board had already pursued a dog park, but dropped the idea when it realised it came with expensive associated resource consent issues.

Board members also explained the reason the toilets in the domain did not have toilet

seats was due to vandalism often occurring in the area.

They questioned the youngsters on the location of the flying fox and tree removal.

Ms Richards said after the meeting it had been great to get the feedback, and she was encouraged by the board’s interest in the flying fox, and believed the project would become a reality in the future.

Job for Robertson Outgoing Labour leader David Cunliffe has offered leadership rival Grant Robertson the job of deputy leader. “If Grant is not successful, I would like to hold out my hand to him as my deputy so we can bring both sides of the team together and we can go forward together,” Mr Cunliffe said on TV3’s Campbell Live last night. He also said he had approached Mr Robertson last week with a peace-making deal.

Mr Robertson said: “I’m running for leader. I have not made a decision about a deputy yet.”

■ LABOUR CRISIS

Local in Cunliffe’s corner By susan sanDys

susan.s@theguarDian.co.nz

David Cunliffe can come back to lead the party and one day the country, says Rangitata Labour Electorate Committee (LEC) chairperson Glen Cameron.

The Rakaia dad said former great leaders of the party such as Norman Kirk and Helen Clark both suffered election defeats prior to becoming prime minister, and there was no reason why Mr Cunliffe could not similarly bounce back from this year’s historic election defeat.

Mr Cameron is a longtime supporter of Mr Cunliffe’s. He is among the wider party membership which overwhelmingly supported him to take over the leadership at the party’s primary style voting process last year.

Forty per cent of the vote is taken from the membership, 40 per cent from the caucus and 20 per cent from the unions.

Mr Cunliffe beat his rivals, Grant Robertson and Shane Jones, on union and membership support, with the caucus vote not being as strong.

Mr Cameron is hoping the membership and union vote remain just as strong this time round, while the vote among the caucus, which now has seven new members, improves.

“Maybe caucus are out of touch. Caucus is selected by unions and membership, so maybe they need to listen,” Mr Cameron said.

Mr Cameron said his view was not coloured by being a personal friend of Mr Cunliffe’s.

“He’s a good leader, he’s become a friend because I have seen the qualities in him. I certainly believe he’s the right man, he has the right credentials to lead the party.”

Mr Cunliffe resigned from the party

at the weekend, but at the same time announced he would be aiming for the leadership role once more, going up against other nominees including Wellington Central MP Grant Robertson.

Mr Cameron said Mr Robertson was “a thoroughly decent person”, and he would likewise support him or any other leadership contender if they were successful in achieving the role against Mr Cunliffe.

When Labour Party members vote on who they want as their leader later this year, former Rangitata candidate Steve Gibson will not be among them.

This is because the renegade candidate has resigned from the party, after its leadership told him if he didn’t, there would be a recommendation to expel him.

A bitter Mr Gibson issued a press release on Sunday night informing media of the resignation.

“Many in the party have been quite happy to denigrate me and use me as a scapegoat to cover up the party’s obvious inadequacies,” Mr Gibson said.

He said he was “particularly viciously attacked and defamed” on Twitter on Friday by “peons of the left”.

“I did bring a lot of that on myself, this I acknowledge, however my conscience is clear, I truly believe I did the best with what I had.”

He thanked all those who did vote for him in Rangitata, and said he was sure that they now knew he was a man who would say to one’s face what he thought.

“Not stab you in the back and then blame someone else, which I guess is what NZ politics is consistently about.

“New Zealand can think what they like about me, based on a narrow band of wowser media coverage, misinformation, and outright lies.”

He said he had a wonderful family and friends who loved him no matter what, and did not need strangers to stroke his ego.

■ NETHERBY SCHOOL

Orchard promises free fruit

By Daisy HuDson

Staff and volunteers gathered at Netherby School on Saturday to plant trees donated for the school’s new orchard.

Once the trees have grown, pupils will have access to healthy snacks such as apples, pears, nectarines and plums.

Some 23 trees were donated to the school from members of the community.

Netherby School principal Phil Wheeler said about 20 volunteers helped plant the trees, which were chosen as they were more resistant to disease and required less maintenance.

Mr Wheeler said there had been excitement among some students about the orchard, and he believed there would be more interest when the trees had grown and “children can pick apples”.

He believed there would be “a lot of education” tied in with the orchard.

“It’s about teaching kids about sustainability, healthy eating and cheaper living,” he said.

Ashburton Fruit Fund’s Deirdre Moses put a call out on Facebook for donations, and Fruit Fund provided 16 of the trees planted.

Prime Minister John Key won’t rule out sending New Zealand’s elite SAS personnel to assist US efforts to counter Islamic State (Isis) militants in Iraq or even Syria but says that would be done reluctantly as a last resort, if at all.

Mr Key also confirmed New Zealand was assessing its security alert following recent reports of a terrorist plot in Australia and that he was seeking advice about New Zealanders fighting for groups like Isis who want to return home.

New Zealand has been named by the US State Department as one of more than 60 countries in the coalition supporting its efforts to counter Islamic State, according to a report in the Washington Post.

Mr Key said New Zealand hadn’t at this stage received any requests for assistance but nevertheless, “I would expect to get some advice on what are the options available to New Zealand but obviously we couldn’t act on those even if we wanted to in the short term because we’re in the caretaker mode (until the new Government is sworn in) “.

Asked specifically about sending military personnel to assist, Mr Key said: “I can’t rule out that there won’t be because what you can see around the world is countries being asked to give support.”.

As far as sending SAS personnel Mr Key said “I can’t rule that absolutely out but what I can say is that I’ll get advice and we’ll see how that goes but it would be my least preferred option.”

Mid Canterbury youth who are feeling down, depressed or anxious can now access an online self-help gaming programme as a stepping stone for treatment.

The SPARX programme at www.sparx.org.nz was developed to help young people aged 12–19 with mild to moderate range depression.

Canterbury District Health Board acting clinical director of child, adolescent and family services Daniel Svoboda said the SPARX programme was used by the CDHB in conjunction with other agencies. Being web based, it was easy for young people to access, he said.

“Anecdotally feedback is good.

We’re seeing some youth are finding SPARX useful in aiding engagement and understanding in addressing some aspects of depression.”

Canterbury District Health Board chief executive officer David Meates said that Canterbury youth were currently among its highest users.

The online programme used cognitive behavioural therapy techniques, was accessible, fun and interactive and could be done anonymously at any time.

It taught youth how to cope with negative thoughts and feelings, and to think in a more balanced way.

The users complete a short mood quiz to see if the programme is right for them.

The music of Kiwi musicians Stan Walker, Tiki Taane, Maree Sheehan and Mathew Shepherd is included, along with Maori graphics and designs to give the program a unique fantasy setting.

The British Medical Journal in 2012 published the results of a large study in New Zealand showed SPARX was effective in treating the symptoms of depression, in youths from 12 to 19 years old.

It reduced depression, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness and improved quality of life: The study also found changes lasted for at least three months.

The SPARX website included a link to the e-therapy programme and also provided information on other help agencies such as Youthline and Lifeline.

Support is provided 12 hours a day, seven days a week by professional counsellors who staff the 0508 4 SPARX phone line.

■ CHERTSEY HALL CENTENNIAL

Marking 100 happy years in Chertsey

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

More than 100 people on Sunday celebrated 100 years of the hub of life in Chertsey, its hall.

Organiser of the centennial celebrations Marion Harrison said most of the families that had called Chertsey home over the past 100 years were represented at the afternoon tea and many came with old photos and photo albums to share.

Among the older former residents were Rose Bell (nee McGuigan), Belle Robinson (nee Johnston) whose father was the local blacksmith and Des Downes from one of the earlier village families.

The centennial cake was cut

by Joan Wilkinson whose late husband Arthur was the second longest serving member of the hall committee, 36 years, and whose family was one of the original settlers.

“We had an amazing number of old photos and pieces of information and you could tell by

the noise in the hall that people were really enjoying reminiscing,” Mrs Harrison said.

One of the events of the past that had most people reminiscing was the Chertsey Gymkhana, held on Easter Monday. This ran from the late 1800s through until the mid 1990s and in its hey day was attended by hundreds of people from Christchurch who arrived by train.

The event was a mix of a sports day, an A&P show and a race meeting and it was a must on the calendar for people around the Ashburton District.

Mrs Harrison is a self-confessed history buff and said one of the highlights of the centennial was being given an 1898 Chertsey sports and race day programme, an event that was a gymkhana’s predecessor.

The memorabilia of Chertsey past has now been packed away for future celebrations, that Mrs Harrison hopes will see her as the cake cutter rather than the organiser.

Camrose plea for rubbish pick-up

By SuSaN SaNdyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Camrose Estate residents may soon have their rubbish picked up from outside their gates thanks to one of their local councillors.

Currently residents in the estate’s 10 occupied homes have to cart their rubbish some distance to where their street meets with Barkers Road.

The subdivision has over 100 sections, and building of an additional three homes is currently underway. Some of the homes under construction and which are yet to be built are over 100 metres from the Barkers Road corner.

Ashburton District Councillor and

Methven Community Board member Martin Nordqvist yesterday brought up the issue at the board’s six-weekly meeting. He said he had noticed in the council’s meeting agenda for Thursday, that the council was to consider a request that there be kerbside collection outside gates at Ashburton’s Lochlea subdivision.

“I bring it up here because I believe Camrose subdivision don’t get their rubbish and recycling picked up at their gates,” Mr Nordqvist said.

He had that morning phoned one of the residents, Michelle Bungard, to confirm that.

Mayor Angus McKay said there was another subdivision in Methven which

also had their rubbish collected at the end of their street, rather than outside their gates.

Mr Nordqvist clarified that that subdivision, Mountainview, was accessed by a private road and not a public one as was Camrose.

He moved that the board ask the council to have Camrose included in its weekly kerbside collection for solid waste and recycling, which was moved unanimously.

Mrs Bungard said after the meeting she was pleased the request was to be made.

“You expect if you are in town to have town services,” Mrs Bungard said.

CONCERNS OVER RESOURCE PARK ■

■ ■

■

Methven Community Board chairperson Liz McMillan has voiced concern about a lack of staffing at the town’s satellite recyclable materials drop off facility on Methven Chertsey Road.

The facility is well used, with 14.3 tonnes of material transported off-site to the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park in August.

Mastagard has been unable to employ a suitable caretaker for the site since their last one left, but are staffing it for the drop off of useable items on Fridays from 2pm to 4pm and Saturdays from 10am to noon.

The firm also attends to the site three times per week, board members heard at their six-weekly meeting yesterday.

“It needs to be tidier than it is,” Ms McMillan said.

OUR VIEW

An act of violence changes lives forever Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

W

hen it’s unsafe to walk the streets of your town at night, you have to ask how far our community has descended into the mire.

A feature in Saturday’s Guardian told the story of family man Jeff Hill who was enjoying a night out with his friends when his life changed forever.

They’d called time on the night and were waiting for a taxi when they attracted the unwanted attention of another group of men intent on causing harm.

One of those men threw two punches at Mr Hill, hitting him with such force he dropped to the ground and that encounter between strangers changed two lives forever.

While the assailant Vincent Kuru Nathan will pay a price for his violence, whatever sentence the court imposes will end. He will be free to get on with whatever kind of life he chooses.

Not so Jeff Hill. Two punches changed his life, they changed his wife Katie’s life and they have given the couple’s two sons a different dad to the one they would have had.

Jeff Hill will pay the price for that night for the rest of his life. He has no choice and that is not fair.

In today’s page one story, Nathan had his day in court. To his credit he saved the taxpayer money by pleading guilty to two counts of common assault.

It’s difficult to understand a mind that thinks violence is just part of a good night out.

Let’s not be naïve. Young blokes, pumped up by testosterone, have always been prone to taking a swing at one another when tempers have flared or they’ve had one too many.

But it’s a long walk from a bit of biffo between mates and a deadly attack on a stranger.

YOUR VIEW Farm waste It was concerning to hear on the early morning news about the recent survey of farm waste on Waikato farms and the amounts being burnt or buried.

Here in Ashburton District farmers are well serviced with the community recycling depots throughout the district where they can drop for free glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper and cans.

Plastic bottles from households are accepted at Ashburton and Rakaia Resource Recovery Parks as well as the Methven Community Recycling depot.

Farm plastics have a national collection and product stewardship scheme. Contact Plasback phone 0508 338-240 or www. plasback.co.nz for details.

Angling for a better season

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: If Cunliffe is reinstated as leader, would that signal the end of the Labour party?

Yes 75%

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

W

ith talk turning to reform of the Resource Management Act, like clockwork, “Dairying muddies NZ’s thinking” appeared in the Dominion Post.

My heart sank finding it penned by two Norwegians until I read the photo caption, which featured someone I believe to be Fish & Game contributor, Graeme Marshall, fishing the “crystal clear” Opihi River.

I know Federated Farmers South Canterbury rate Graeme so it might have been a file photo. If it is, then whoever chose that photo has unwittingly destroyed the arguments of these two Norwegians.

If a picture is worth a thousand words this caption is worth twice that. The “crystal clear” Opihi River only flows year round due to water released from the Opuha Water Storage Dam. The old Opihi River occasionally dried up in the Canterbury heat, but thanks to the Opuha Water Storage Dam, it now enjoys permanent water flow. Everyone, anglers included, must agree that’s a good thing for fish.

So who built the Opuha Dam and why? It was mostly dairy farmers and the why was to drought-proof large swathes of South Canterbury farmland.

So this story really shows an angler only doing what he loves doing thanks to farsighted dairy farmers who built a dam, yet, they’re also the bad guys for providing that water. Talk about mixed messages.

There were no mixed messages with the Fonterra payout that’s now in the same ball park as Synlait, Westland and Open Country.

Farmers will be redoing the maths and pruning herds to rid themselves of any passengers. Good farmers will cut costs but it shouldn’t be slash and burn, but a structured and sensible business exercise.

payments, are expected to be around $4 per kilogram of milksolids (kg/MS). Twothirds of dairy farms have working expenses of between $3.25 and $4.75 kg/MS. Of course, when you start paying back the bank manager, the average on-farm costs grow to $5.40 kg/MS. Given upwards of a quarter of our guys have costs above break-even, there’ll be a fair number who’ll be looking to next week’s GDT auction for signs of life in it.

Whatever happens, you farm in bad times and in good and next week, Federated Farmers finally launches our revised Herd Owning Sharemilking Agreement.

You’ve got to wonder if these tougher times may boost sharemilking prospects. The main benefit of the revised agreement is that it resolves many areas that grated. It clearly sets out the obligations for the farm owner and the sharemilker alike.

There’s clarity around who pays for what in regard to feed.

It may be a moot point this season since past agreements

have managed pasture-based farms well, but a shift to highinput farming and sensitivity to weather, means both parties need direction of who pays if there’s a feed shortfall at the beginning of the season. Also what happens when there’s too much or too little at season’s end.

The new agreement also incorporates health and safety on-farm together with a growing scourge; drug and alcohol, put right at the front of the agreement.

The ‘set off ’ provision is no more in the agreement, thereby removing a farm owner’s ability to instruct their milk processor to withhold payments from the sharemilker.

We’ve also aligned the dispute provisions with the Variable Order Sharemilking Agreement. To help out further, the agreement includes a flowchart of what to do when things go pear-shaped so that both parties can see the value of sitting down at the kitchen table to find a solution. Arbitration can lead to the “least worst” outcome for both parties, not to mention a hefty bill.

After much consideration, drought is not part of force majeure (Act of God) provisions. Drought is not something that “suddenly happens” unlike other calamities. That means it can be managed by both parties by assessing the situation and planning together. Our agreement is about encouraging both parties to work together than in tripping off World War Three.

Federated Farmers’ Herd Owning Agreement is available from the shop at fedfarm. org.nz or from freephone 0800 327-646. If you are a Federated Farmers’ member, the good news is a price tag of $69 plus GST. If you aren’t a member, the bad news is that it’ll set you back $414 plus GST. This underscores the importance of being a member and with the payout down, being a member will save you heaps on your contracts, agreements and advice. Let alone what we can do for you when dealing with councils.

■ JAPAN

In brief

Volcano search resumes Japanese rescuers have resumed a grim operation to recover more bodies after 31 people were believed killed in a volcanic eruption, as survivors told of seeing hikers die when tonnes of ash and rocks thundered from the sky.

More than 1100 firefighters, police and troops returned to Mount Ontake in a bid to reach those they had to abandon on Sunday when soaring levels of poisonous gas made the operation too dangerous.

Smoke was still rising from the peak yesterday, but helicopters had begun a search of the volcano, a popular destination for walkers during autumn.

Aerial footage showed rescue workers climbing slopes blanketed with thick, grey ash.

At least 31 people were found near the summit of 3067-metre volcano, which erupted on Saturday without warning, spewing ash, rocks and steam. Emergency workers who reached them said they were not breathing and had no pulse.

Four were brought down and later confirmed dead by doctors.

They were all men, aged 23-61.

Heartbreaking stories have begun to emerge from survivors who made it down the mountain as rolling clouds of volcanic

debris swept down its flanks, smothering everything in their path.

“Some people were buried in ash up to their knees and the two in front of me seemed to be dead,” a woman hiker told the private Asahi network.

Another told how she had heard the last moments of a victim battered by a cascade of rocks.

“There was someone lying outside the hut after being hit in the back,” she said. “He was saying ‘It hurts, it hurts,’ but after about half an hour he went quiet.”

For anguished families, the wait for news is taking its toll.

An elderly woman told Asahi her son had phoned her just after gas, rocks and ash began spewing from the volcano.

“He told me it erupted... He said ‘It’s over. I’m dying now’ and then the line was cut off,” the woman said.

Rescue workers are trying to bring down at least 27 people still on the volcano who are believed dead.

About 40 people were hurt by flying rocks and inhaling poisonous fumes.

Further eruptions are forecast, with warnings that volcanic debris may settle within four kilo- AFP metres of the peak.

Monster truck a killer A third person has died after a souped-up “monster truck” ploughed into a crowd during a show in the Netherlands, the local mayor says, with five people critically injured.

The tricked-out truck, sporting outsized tyres and a powerful engine, surged off the track after driving over a line of prop cars, crashing through a barricade and into the audience in the eastern town of Haaksbergen. “A third victim has died from Sunday’s accident,” mayor Hans Gerritsen said yesterday.

Lufthansa strike Pilots with Germany’s Lufthansa will stage a strike on long-haul flights today, their latest walkout in the ongoing dispute with management over early retirement provisions, their union says. Vereinigung Cockpit called on its members to strike on long-haul flights departing from Frankfurt between 8am and 11pm on Tuesday (between 1600 AEST on Tuesday and 0700 AEST on Wednesday). The strike would affect services on Airbus A380, A330 and A340 and Boeing 747 aircraft, the union said. - AFP

A gunman is in a critical condition after he was shot by police in a Brisbane siege. A police spokeswoman confirmed to AAP that the man was shot by police just before 4pm (AEST) yesterday at Inala. The man was reportedly shot after he stepped out of a car holding a handgun outside a block of units in Brisbane’s south.

Breast cancer vaccine trial set for 2015

By Belinda Tasker Trials of a revolutionary vaccine for breast cancer and an injectable treatment for skin cancer are due to get under way in Australia in 2015.

The Melbourne-based biotech behind the drugs, Ascend, is preparing to list on the Australian stock market and plans to use money raised from investors to fund the trials.

Both treatments being developed by Ascend are forms of immunotherapies, which aim to encourage the body’s immune system to fight and destroy cancer.

Ascend’s skin cancer treatment is designed to be injected into basal cell carcinomas, the most common form of the disease.

The drug is a geneticallymodified form of a common cold virus that helps the immune system cut off the blood supply to the skin cancer and destroy it.

The breast cancer vaccine is

for patients who are in the early stages of the disease and have undergone surgery.

Patients receive the vaccine after surgery to help their immune system stop the cancer returning and spreading.

Chief executive Dr Clement Leong says the skin cancer treatment could help thousands of patients avoid surgery.

Many patients, he says, cannot undergo surgery because of the tricky location of the skin cancers on their face, or because they are too old, or the operation could interfere with

other medication they are on.

“This is a big opportunity.

There’s about half a million people worldwide that are seeking a non-surgical form of treatment,” Dr Leong told AAP yesterday.

The breast cancer vaccine could also provide hope for the estimated one quarter of early stage breast cancer patients who see the disease return and spread within three years after undergoing surgery.

Dr Leong said earlier trials of the vaccine showed that 10 years after surgery, the cancer

had returned in just six per cent of patients who had been vaccinated.

He said women with early stage breast cancer are currently treated with hormone therapy after surgery.

“The problem is that it only works for 10-12 months,” Dr Leong said.

“We think during that 10-12 months, when the cancer is being controlled, is a nice opportunity to vaccinate.”

Ascend is planning to launch its skin cancer clinical trial in February, with results expected in mid 2015.

It plans to pay for the trials by raising up to $11 million ahead of its stock market debut in November.

Ascend is issuing more than 31 million shares at 35 cents each.

The worldwide market for immunotherapies is estimated to be worth billions in the future, with cancer predicted to cause an estimated 13 million deaths by 2030.

Hong Kong’s authorities say they are withdrawing riot police from the streets of the protest-wracked city in a major concession to prodemocracy demonstrators. A statement posted on the government’s website read: “Because citizens gathered on the street have calmed, riot police have been withdrawn”.

Thousands of protesters have taken control of at least three major thoroughfares, paralysing parts of the city after hours of overnight battles with police firing tear gas.

Death sentence for duo A court in China’s far west has sentenced to death two teenagers for the killing of the head of the country’s biggest mosque, state media reported, in a case that highlighted divisions in the violence-wracked Xinjiang region.

Terror threat high Australia’s home-grown terror threat is strongest in NSW, Victoria and Queensland, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says. She has cancelled about 50 passports on national security grounds, including three in the past week.

“The number of foreign fighters and the number of passports I have cancelled have focused on NSW, then Victoria, then Queensland,” Ms Bishop said yesterday.

In brief Excess of oil The cancellation of a two day strike at the Marsden Point oil refinery next week has left the country’s four main oil companies with an unwanted 50 million litre emergency shipment of aviation fuel that set sail from South Korea at the weekend. Z Energy, BP, Mobil and Chevron (owner of the Caltex brand), acting in concert as the Customer Supply Group, sourced the emergency shipment late on Friday amid fears that Auckland International Airport could run short of aviation fuel.

Not guilty pleas Five men allegedly associated with two collapsed finance companies have pleaded not guilty to the charges they face. The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has filed Crimes Act and Companies Act charges against men allegedly associated with two failed firms, Viaduct Capital and Mutual Finance.

The matter is now due to come back before the court in December.

■ FONTERRA

Change for RD1 stores

By JAmie grAy Fonterra said it would convert its RD1 stores into what it called “Farm Source Hubs” as part of a series of moves aimed at bolstering its relationship with farmer shareholders.

The cooperative also launched a series of financial initiatives, under the Farm Source banner, aimed at giving farmers more financial flexibility.

“With Farm Source we are taking our relationship with our farmers to a whole new level through connected services and support systems developed for them,” Fonterra chairman John Wilson said in a statement.

Fonterra said 67 RD1 stores, and four more under development, would become Farm Source Hubs.

They would offer the usual farm services and supplies businesses and combine them with

new facilities for the use of farmers and their communities.

Each hub would feature meeting rooms and a “drop in” space and a free wifi service.

The larger meeting spaces woul be the base for local farmer meetings, seminars and roadshows.

All Fonterra farmers would receive a rewards card which will provide them with automatic access to loyalty rewards and exclusive discounts.

The cooperative’s internet site, Fencepost, has also been overhauled.

Under financial initiatives, Fonterra said it would would allow farmers to receive shares in lieu of all or part of their cash dividend, thereby reducing the need for lump sum borrowing to buy shares in the cooperative.

Last week, Fonterra cut its farmgate milk price forecast for 2014/15 to $5.30 a kg from $6.00. Fonterra said its “normalised” earnings before interest and tax came to $503 million for the year to July, down 50 per cent on the previous year’s, as high milk prices put pressure on the co-operative’s profit margins.

The higher cost of goods sold, along with higher interest and tax, saw Fonterra’s net profit after tax fall by 76 per cent to $179 million. - APNZ

Little River breeder Georgie Fairless has been breeding coloured sheep for about 15 years.

Moving on to a smaller property has resulted in her downsizing her flock, but she still runs eight coloured ewes.

“My favourite breed is the romney; it is dual purpose, meat and wool sheep,” she said.

“They are quiet to handle and grow the type of strong wool suitable for outer garments and blankets.

“I spin and knit my own wool for family and sell yarn and some knitwear as a hobby.”

Mrs Fairless is a member of the Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association, formed in the 1970s by a group of enthusiasts who realised there was potential in farming these animals – which were traditionally culled from flocks to prevent wool contamination in the shearing shed.

There are now 12 branches nationwide.

There are about 20 active members in the Mid Canterbury branch who own commercial flocks and a few other members have sheep for pets, some have rare breeds and others who are learning the finer points of breeding quality sheep and wool.

The branch holds monthly meetings and workshops.

“We learn how to look after our sheep and what to do with the wool,” Mrs Fairless said.

“Good quality fleeces are used for spinning knitting yarn, felting and weaving.

“Handcraft people love to use natural coloured wool for garments, blan-

kets and felted goods so there is quite a demand for this natural product.

“There is also the added benefit of a small income and a lot of satisfaction.”

The Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders national open day will be held on October 19, from 10am to 4pm at Greenacre Fibres, 155 Burnham School Road, between Dunns Crossing and Burnham Ellesmere roads.

See coloured sheep and demonstrations of spinning and weaving, or stock up on supplies of wool for your own projects.

RURAL WOMEN REPORTS Mid Canterbury

Congratulations to Rural Women New Zealand on their persistence to secure reimbursement for home support workers.

This relates to paid mileage and minimum wages for the time they spend travelling between clients.

For 86 years Rural Women have been fighting for travel costs to be funded for this type of work, so now support workers will be more fairly rewarded for the very important work they do in supporting rural communities.

Although this increase does not come into effect until mid-2015, it will assist in retaining and recruiting passionate workers in this role.

At our recent annual meeting, Bev Bagrie and Shona Deaker retired from their respective roles of president and treasurer.

Thank you both most sincerely for the time you have accorded to Rural Women and I know our organisation is all the better for your involvement.

I welcome Trish Small to the role as treasurer and I am pleased that Ngaire Brown continues to offer her services as secretary.

Thinking about Christmas yet? Mid Canterbury Rural Women Provincial members are undertaking a cling wrap/foil/baking paper fundraiser.

What a wonderful present for Xmas to assist with baking or packing those school lunches. Please feel welcome to contact Rural Women members who would be pleased to provide further details.

I will leave you with the following message: Three Simple Rules in Life ■ ■ ■

If you do not GO after what you want, you’ll never have it.

If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO. If you do not step forward, you’ll always be in the same place

Good health to you all.

Anama

Touring the Baltic States and seeing the magnificent public buildings in the cities of St Petersburg and Moscow was an experience Jean Wragg shared with Anama Rural women at their September meeting.

Jean travelled with two daughters and took some excellent photos with her i-Phone. They showed the splendour of churches and chapels as well as scenes and statues in the Moscow underground. Anama branch will host the provincial Link meeting at the Sinclair Centre on November 21 beginning with morning tea at 9.30.The speaker will be from the Birthright organisation.

Winchmore

The fruit lady Deidre Moses was our guest speaker at our September meeting where members heard about her project to provide fresh fruit to children at local schools and preschools.

Deidre was a very accomplished and informative speaker who told us about how she manages the Fruit in Schools and her plans for the future with schools planting their own trees for the future to benefit the children.

Another project she undertook over the winter months was to provide firewood to those in need, with donations of pallets from businesses and the Men’s Shed providing the labour to cut it up into sizes for bagging.

The Fruit in Schools has recently become a registered charity which will enable them to apply for grants to assist with this very worthwhile work.

As Deidre said a child who is warm and has a full tummy is much better able to concentrate and learn and equip them to help themselves in the future.

Our members bought fruit along as a roll call to help with the Fruit in Schools project.

President Margaret Verrall presided over the business meeting prior to the

speaker. A new member on transfer from Pakawau branch Sharon Watson was warmly welcomed to the branch.

Meals on Wheels will be delivered by the branch on October 7.

Our next meeting on October 15, will be travels with Alison and Donald through some very interesting and different African countries, these evenings with the Shearers are always most enjoyable and members, along with their partners, are most welcome to join in the evening at Gwenda and Jack’s home.

Lynnford

A good attendance of members met recently, where we took a leisurely walk to Terrace View Retirement Home, and were welcomed by one of our members who is residing there at present.

There was a lovely atmosphere and registered nurse Carol Hamilton spoke about how she became involved with nursing. She had spent time in the spinal unit but found it too distressing, moved into the rehabilitation ward then into the care of elderly in homes in Christchurch. Members had a look through the retirement village.

Lynnford is once again taking part in Meals on Wheels on October 6; Mary has kindly provided flowers for Ward Six Ashburton Hospital.

Congratulations was extended to Ian Moore for his 40-year service to the Willowby Fire Unit. Bev thanked members for their attendance at the recent Provincial AGM, our branch was successful wining the Jean Sargent trophy for the flower section, and taking second place in the baking and photography. Lynnford won the Tarbottton Trophy for the best branch annual report.

Our executive has launched a fundraiser, details will be advised at our October meeting, which will be held at Adeline’s residence, Bridge Street, 9.30am and our speaker will be Stuart Rattray.

Great diversity seen in RW awards line-up In its sixth year, 17 innovative businesses are in the line-up for the Rural Women New Zealand Enterprising Rural Women Awards.

“It’s encouraging to see the diversity of businesses being run by women in rural areas and the significant contribution they make to the wider economy,” Rural Women’s national president Wendy McGowan said.

“Each year we see greater sophistication in the marketing and presentation of rural businesses that enter the awards.

“As broadband slowly rolls out into rural communities it is increasing business opportunities and levelling the playing field for rural enterprises, even when operating from remote locations.

“A web presence is so important for online sales and reservations. However, there are businesses who have entered who still have no cellphone coverage, which means added challenges in communicating with customers, and distance to markets is always going to be a factor.”

Through the Enterprising Rural Women Awards, Rural Women NZ raises awareness of women’s entrepreneurship and their input into rural communities, creating local employment and often supplementing on-farm income.

The judges now face the challenging task of choosing finalists in the four entry categories: Love of the Land, Help I Need Somebody, Making it in Rural and Stay, Play, Rural.

The four category winners will go on to compete for the title of supreme winner.

Entries in this year’s Love of the Land category include a plant nursery, a free-range pig farm and an apiary.

The winners will be announced at a special ceremony to be held on the opening night of the Rural Women NZ national conference in Rotorua on November 14.

Lamb production is at seasonal low, lamb and hogget processing will start to tip in favour of new season lamb in a few weeks’ time. The traditional pattern shows increasing lamb carcass weights right up till October, before the first new season lambs arrive for processing under Christmas chilled programmes, which run from October into early November.

Processing requirements are for small and medium weight lambs typically from about 14kg to maximum of 23kg, meaning few old season lambs will comply.

Overseas demand for early chilled Christmas production is reportedly good and commands a decent premium over frozen production. The meat value of lamb is at steady levels, but lamb byproduct values have eased in valued preventing much further up-lifts in farmgate prices..

BEEF

After weeks of astonishing price increases the US market took a breather over the past week. US domestic 90CL cow prices recorded what was arguably the most notable decline in over four months, however it bounced back late in the week to end just US1c/lb below where it started. The decline stirred up uncertainty for buyers in the import market, and as a result those who didn’t urgently need product were quick to step back from the market, weakening prices slightly.

The US autumn cow cull is on the horizon, which typically peaks in November.

This has the potential to soften the market but there’s considerable doubt over how significant this year’s cull will be.

If it under delivers it’s conceivable that prices could go even higher yet.

VENISON

Export data for August show that although chilled venison export volumes have been higher than the past two years, the value has fallen. At least part of this drop in export value can be attributed to the appreciation of the NZ dollar, which was up by about 6 per cent year-on-year during August.

There has been a significant increase in chilled volumes to the UK during the three months to August, where they have more than doubled 2013 sales. This has been driven mostly by retailers there offering grilling items, which have been good sellers this European summer.

These UK items are, however, lower value and have contributed to pulling down the average unit value of exports.

July and August are the peak months for chilled exports to Switzerland, which is the first cab off the rank in the chilled season. This year, however, volumes have been down 30 per cent on last year. The proportion of exports going into the Swiss market has increased in the past five years and in 2013 made up 13 per cent of chilled export value.

■ FUNERALS

Little known about funerals of past

By Kathleen Stringer

W

hile death was a regular visitor to Victorian and Edwardian homes, we have very little evidence of funerals.

As today, the local newspaper printed death notices and often published short biographies of the deceased or mentioned the way they died.

Like today, illness or misadventure was always of interest, especially in a small area with a static population where everyone knew or were related to each other.

But apart from that we have very little evidence of funerals.

Some people sent in memoriam cards to those who attended the funeral or sent cards.

Many had photographs of the departed and really were a means to remember the person who had died, rather than just saying thank you. The one depicted is of a young businessman, who left a wife and child.

The Ashburton Guardian said he had been in indifferent health for a while, but died after an attack of inflammation of the bowels.

The image of the horse-drawn hearse is, therefore, of great interest.

It certainly looks well presented and would have provided a suitable send off for the person inside.

While today we try to hide death, our ancestors embraced it and a funeral would follow a set route where people could show their respect.

Blinds of houses would be drawn and businesses might close as the workers and shoppers stood outside. Even the sad procession had a code of behaviour with the proximity of the mourners indicating the closeness of relationship.

Large funerals such as those of civic leaders or those involved in a number of organisations might see debate about which group went first after family and friends.

Funerals were big business with a number of people employed to undertake the final aspect of someone’s life. As we can see here the hearse had to be decorated and maintained and, along with it, the horses. Coffins also had to be made and it is no surprise therefore that many

Above – T. H. Undrill’s horse-drawn hearse outside their premises in Tancred Street in the late 1800s.

Right – Memoriam cards were once sent out to people who had attended funerals. This one, dated 1901, is for Herbert Reader Steel, an Ashburton businessman, who died aged 37.

undertakers and funeral directors began life as cabinetmakers or joiners.

Although the image is an interesting one, we know very little about it but can deduce some dates from surrounding businesses.

It was taken in Tancred Street, outside the premises of T. H. Undrill, furniture makers and undertakers. The date is after 1894 when Sam Burnard moved his butcher’s shop from East Street.

The business in the background has the words “Hall, Herbalist” on the verandah.

James Hall also opened in Tancred Street in 1894.

Souths OK without Luke South Sydney are confident they can seamlessly overcome the loss of hooker Issac Luke, if he is rubbed out of Sunday’s NRL grand final against Canterbury. The Kiwi rake will face the NRL judiciary tonight in a bid to beat his onegame ban for a lifting tackle on Sonny Bill Williams during Souths 32-22 preliminary final win over the defending premiers. Souths five-eighth Luke Keary said: “Obviously we hope Issac gets off but if he doesn’t we have some depth there that will cover him and do the job on the day.”

Ennis ‘needs miracle’

Youngsters getting back on the court For the Ashburton District’s young up and coming tennis stars, the school holidays provided a great opportunity to get a head start on the summer sports season. Ashburton Tennis Centre coach Chris Anderson was on court early yesterday, working with several groups of youngsters to improve their skills. For some that meant simply learning to hit the ball, but for others the coaching sessions were aimed at preparing them for their first competitive season in the junior C grade. Older players were there to hone their skills ahead of next week’s South Canterbury tournament. Coaching continues today and tomorrow and will also run from Monday to Wednesday next week.

Europe retains Ryder Cup

BY JIM SLATER Europe’s finest golfers have defeated the United States for the sixth time in seven attempts to hang on to the Ryder Cup, delivering a resounding 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 beating to the oncedominant Americans.

Welshman Jamie Donaldson, a 38-year-old Ryder Cup rookie, dropped his approach at the 15th hole yesterday just inches from the hole to clinch a 4 and 3 victory over Keegan Bradley that gave Europe an unbeatable total of 14 1/2 points at Gleneagles.

“Hit the wedge of my life to close the game out,” Donaldson said.

“You can’t really put words to it. It’s unbelievable.”

The Europeans matched their longest win streak in the series with a third consecutive triumph, while Tom Watson’s US squad failed in its bid for a first victory in Europe since Watson captained a 1993 triumph at The Belfry.

“Proud is the first word,” European captain Paul McGinley

said. “It has been a huge team Attention then turned to effort.”

halved, but Europeans have a 10-7 with one halved edge since the team was expanded beyond British-Irish talent in 1979.

“They played better than we did,” said Watson.

“It would have been a tough go to beat them but we came in thinking we could. It just didn’t work out.”

Europe built a four-point lead entering singles thanks to a 7-1 foursomes edge, equalling the 1975 US squad for the format’s most lopsided domination.

“You killed us in the foursomes, man,” Watson told McGinley.

World No.1 McIlroy, coming off major wins at the British Open and PGA Championship, won 5 and 4 over Rickie Fowler, a top-fiver in every major this year but winless in eight Cup matches.

“Very satisfying. I knew what was expected of me and what I expect of myself,” McIlroy said.

“I was probably more up for this day than I was the last day of the majors I won.

“There for no option other than to win.”

Injured Canterbury skipper Michael Ennis admits he’ll need a miracle if he is to play in Sunday’s NRL grand final against South Sydney. Ennis fractured his foot in the Bulldogs’ preliminary final win over Penrith on Saturday, when he played what may have been his last game for the club before switching to Cronulla.

Asked what his chances were of playing in this year’s decider at ANZ Stadium, Ennis said: “Not great, to be honest. To Des (Hasler’s) credit, he’s such a loyal bloke, he’s been terrific for me - not only as a player, but also as a person and leadership-wise at the club. “He’s going to give me to the nth degree to get there, but I’m praying for a miracle I think.”

Valencia held to draw Valencia have failed to keep pace with Spanish soccer’s league leaders Barcelona after they were held to a 1-1 draw at defiant Real Sociedad. Yesterday’s draw left Valencia in second place, level on 14 points with defending champions Atletico Madrid. Both teams are two points behind leaders Barcelona, who trounced hapless Granada 6-0.

Bayern rolling on Five-time European soccer champions Bayern Munich will play in Russia tonight, when they take on CSKA Moscow behind closed doors in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s injury-ravaged side opened their account with a last minute 1-0 victory over English champions Manchester City in their opener while CSKA were humbled 5-1 in the Italian capital by Roma.

Bayern may be without their World Cup winning defender Jerome Boateng, who made the trip to Moscow but remains a doubt as he tries to shake off a hamstring problem.

Knights out in the cold Northern Districts are doubtless reflecting on where it all went wrong as they prepare for their final group game at the Champions League in Bangalore early tomorrow morning. That’s understandable, considering they swept their three qualifying games, then cleaned up the Cape Cobras in their opening tournament proper match 11 days ago. At that point, the likelihood of their final group game against Barbados being meaningless seemed negligible - indeed playing the final of all pool games seemed a distinct benefit. But Hobart’s six-wicket win over Barbados yesterday ended ND’s slim chances.

In brief College XI crashes

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

RESULTS

It was a different story for the Ashburton College XI cricketers when they travelled to Gympie yesterday for the second match of their Australian tour. The side batted first and were all out for 105 in the 32nd over. Michael Burton (27) and Deon Biggs (13) were the top scorers with the bat, and both featured when college took the field for the second innings. Biggs bagged two wickets, while Burton took four, with the help of catches from Andrew Jopson, wicketkeeper Ryan Hampton, Devam Pandya and Kody Stuthridge.

But the hosts passed AshColl’s total in the 37th over, with eight wickets down. AshColl has another 50 over game today, followed by two T20 games tomorrow.

The Mid Canterbury Under 15 girls had a tough introduction to the Premier Tournament in Tauraunga, beaten 0-6 by Hawkes Bay yesterday. After conceding four first half goals they dug deep defensively in the second half to restrict a classy Hawkes Bay side to two further goals. Things don’t get any easier with Auckland today and Taranaki tomorrow before crossover play begins Thursday.

Basketball nationals Ashburton College senior girls’ went close to a first-up win at the National Secondary School’s Basketball Tournament in Palmerston North yesterday. Up against Napier Girls’ High School, college succumbed to a 64-72 loss. They meet Sacred Heart New Plymouth, who lost to Rangiora 70-77, yesterday and Auckland Girls Grammar, who went down to 2013 runners-up Rangitoto 46-62, in the afternoon.

Mealamu likely starter Against all pre-tour predictions, Keven Mealamu has probably played his way into the starting rake’s jersey this weekend.

Typecast as the No16 after a season in which he struggled to get out of second gear, the 35-year-old Aucklander delivered his best 73 minutes of 2014. And with Dane Coles missing the La Plata test to be at the birth of his son, Mealamu turned back the clock with some rugged ballcarrying and accurate lineout throwing.

Fear God, says Pacquiao Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao yesterday brushed off Floyd Mayweather’s latest taunts, saying he pitied his American rival as he urged him to read the Bible.

In brief Rossi in hospital Seven-time premier class world champion Valentino Rossi was taken to hospital after suffering concussion in crashing out of the Aragon Grand Prix yesterday. The Italian had come into the race full of confidence after winning last time out in San Marino, but any chance of a repeat performance ended early on as he ran wide onto the grass at the rain-hit Motorland track and was thrown from his bike. The bike narrowly missed the prone 35-year-old as it came to ground but doctor Michele Zasa said he was confident Rossi would suffer no serious ill effects. - AFP

Poland’s Michal Kwiatkowski has timed his breakaway to perfection to win the men’s road race world title from Australia’s Simon Gerrans in Ponferrada, Spain.

Gerrans won a six-man sprint for second place ahead of Spain’s Alejandro Valverde yesterday. But it was Kwiatkowski’s break with about 8km left, first reeling in four escapees and then going it alone on the final climb, that proved decisive as he became his country’s first ever world champion.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) While the professional gods will shift their focus onto career matters, this is a day for drawing a line in the sand as far as work matters are concerned.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Where over the last 6 weeks you’ve had to battle to find a balance between work and play, with pulling from both sides, this gets easier and harder.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) It’s a volatile mix of emotion and passion that will get your attention today, but at the same time make it a lot easier to establish what you’re fighting for.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) It’s where there have been challenges over the last 6 weeks that you’ll find you’ve gained the means to speak from the heart.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) As the money gods shift focus back to money matters, this will see the financial tension of the last 6 weeks dissipate.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) While the Sun left your sign last week, it’s only now that the real journey begins, that of turning ideas, promises, desires and expectations into reality.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) The focus shifts today from asking what the coming year has in store for you and onto asking what you want it to bring.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Venus is here to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane, something that you’ve already had some experience with over recent weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) You should know what you’re aiming for, ready to commit to what your heart, professional desires and expectations tell you.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Life is going to get busier and more professionally focused, with a need to find a way to keep the spirit of adventure alive.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) The money gods have finished their annual financial housekeeping for the year, switching their focus to income matters and the timing couldn’t be better.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) You’ve reached a point where you should be a lot more aware of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

Senior riders warming up before the first race of the Tinwald Cycling Club’s summer season.

Templeton starts the right way Out of town riders looking for a solid early season hit-out boosted numbers on the road for the Tinwald Cycling Club’s first race of the summer season.

Seventy riders competed in a graded scratch race around the Christies Road block with some tight competition, particularly in a very strong A grade field boosted by Christchurch riders wanting a solid race ahead of

next weekend’s Christchurch Elite series event.

Local riders filled the top three positions however, with Michael Templeton proving too strong in the charge to the line taking victory over Steve Hands and Tony Ward. The 36km was covered in 52.34 minutes.

Wayne Clement secured B grade honours holding on in the sprint to the line against Tima-

ru visitors Glenn Marshall and Trevor Prattley. Clement came home in 56.43 minutes.

In the C grade over 27 kilometres there was another tight finish with a number in the mix for victory.

Mark Smitheram, finished in first in 45.09 minutes from Geoff Rhodes and Gene Shurrock.

Nicole Hands rode strongly

to take the D grade spoils with a hard fought sprint to the line with her co-markers John Harcourt and Colin Teahen. Hands finished in 51.22 minutes.

The A juniors contested an 18km scratch race. Bailey O’Donnell had a good hit-out leading into next week’s junior Tour of Southland, taking the win from his younger brother Abe who is also heading south.

Cameron Prattley rode strongly to secure third from James Skinner and Oliver Davidson.

Ethan Titheridge opened his season account with a hard fought win over Jake Marshall and Maddi Lowry in the 9km junior B grade event.

Next week the club will contest a 32km handicap event around the Wakanui Beach block.

Rasmussen rejoins Silver Ferns for Constellation Cup series Grace Rasmussen rejoins a Silver Ferns team this week in a vastly different place competitively than when she last featured in the line-up.

The Magic midcourter hasn’t played for the Ferns since the

2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, when the New Zealand side edged Australia in a famous double overtime victory.

After four years on the outer, Rasmussen has forced her way back into the national team at

Mealamu likely for starting role P18

a time they are searching for answers following a humbling 18-goal defeat at the hands of the Diamonds at the Glasgow Games two months ago.

Rasmussen is one of four changes to the Glasgow team

for the four-test Constellation Cup series beginning in Invercargill on Thursday, and while she wasn’t in the line-up for the tournament, she felt the loss just as keenly.

“It was just such a gutting

result, it was really hard to watch.

“I really felt for the girls that were over there and I know we’re all really motivated to make amends in this series,” she said.
