NCEA results‘naturally skewed’BY MYLES [email protected]

Mid Canterbury school leavers are lag-ging almost 10 per cent behind their national counterparts when it comes to gaining university entry qualifica-tions.

However, the number of Mid Can-terbury pupils attaining high-level school qualifications are on the rise, despite many teenagers leaving school early to take up apprenticeship oppor-tunities.

Ministry of Education figures show of the 361 pupils in the Ashburton District who left school last year, 85.6 per cent had NCEA Level 1 (compared with the national rate of 85 per cent), 71.5 per cent left with NCEA Level 2 (74.3 per cent) while 40.2 per cent achieved university entrance (49 per cent).

Although NCEA Level 2 and univer-sity entrance qualifications were below the national rate, both had risen 3.1 per cent and 5.4 per cent respectively from 2011.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan put the rate down to a high number of pupils leaving school to take up apprenticeships during the

district’s economic boom and believed the figures were “naturally skewed” because some pupils took more than a school year to complete qualifications.

He said many pupils who left school to take on apprenticeships were some-times not counted in the school leaver statistics, despite earning qualifica-tions on the job.

He had provided feedback to the Ministry of Education about ways schools could “build those people” into the statistics to “give a more realistic view” of districts like Mid Canterbury.

Mr McMillan was also keen to point out some pupils needed more than the regular four terms to complete a quali-fication, meaning some pupils carried courses through to the next schooling year.

“The major problem with these sta-tistics are they are time-bound to one year so those that are carrying through into the next year are recorded as a failure ... so there’s a bit of a natural skewing.”

Mr McMillan believed the ministry figures were more likely to be used by the community rather than schools, and would “embed the Government goals into community expectations”.

Up, up and away ...Ashburton Intermediate pupils ran, jumped and threw their way towards contention for the local county schools’ athletic sports to be held on Friday. Ashlee Strawbridge (above) was among hundreds of intermediate pupils vying for acceptance to the Ashburton County Athletic Sports during her school’s athletics day at McLean Park yesterday.

For the fi rst time since his death in 1931 the Melbourne Cup winner’s body will be brought together, virtually. Phar Lap is preserved in three places – his heart sits at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, his hide is in the Melbourne Museum, and his skeleton in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. But now schools across Australia can log in and control their own unique view of Phar Lap using a 360 degree panoramic camera on the robot’s head.

In an interview with The Sunday Times Culture magazine, he said: “I have a notion that the majority of the perception is fuelled by, sadly, an awful lot of stu© written about my private life that a) isn’t true, and b) if it is true is nobody’s business, and certainly shouldn’t be a refl ection on what I do at work.” – WENN

Giving gator aidA small alligator found under an escalator at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport has left authorities puzzled. A maintenance worker discovered the alligator, which is about 30cm long, at the weekend in Terminal 3, Chicago Police spokesman Jose Estrada said yesterday. An o ̈ cer captured the reptile by putting a trash can over it.“We don’t know where it came from or how long it’d been residing in the airport facilities,” Estrada said. “It’s one of those random incidents.”The gator is now being cared for by the Chicago Herpetological Society. – AP

Retired airline pilots in Ashburton yesterday, after a flight in the town’s DC3, an aircraft they once flew commercially throughout New Zealand.

Seven retired DC3 commercial airline pilots took to the skies in Ashburton’s own DC3 yes-terday.

The seven, from throughout New Zealand, were in Ashbur-ton celebrating 50 years since they began a course in how to fly DC3s with their employer at

the time, the National Airways Corporation (NAC).

The NAC later merged with Teal to become Air New Zea-land, when the domestic routes the pilots flew expanded to in-clude international routes.

The aircraft they flew devel-oped as well, with 26-passenger DC3s falling by the wayside as 747s and other jet planes took

over, carrying up to 400 people.Yesterday’s flight over Ash-

burton in perfect weather brought back memories for the retired pilots.

There was nothing like flying in a DC3, said Lew Peek.

“The sound of the engines, the shape of the aeroplane is classic, the noise inside up in the cockpit,” Mr Peek said.

The seven did their training in Christchurch, but chose to stay in Ashburton for the 50-year celebrations as the town’s aviation museum had its own DC3, and also because Ashbur-ton was a nice place to stay.

The DC3 was piloted by vol-unteers from the Southern DC3 Charitable Trust in Christch-urch for yesterday’s flight.

Mobility scooter users and stu-dents are also popular targets for magpie attacks, according to Ashburton residents.

In Saturday’s Guardian posties delivering mail in the Allenton area complained of nesting magpies attacking them; pecking their heads and causing bruising and scratch-ing, and in some cases cracking their helmets.

There was even a suggestion the hostile birds could cause de-liveries to grind to a halt.

Allenton resident Bill Mat-thews has recently been dive-bombed by magpies, while rid-ing his mobility scooter.

“I can’t really avoid it – to get to the shops I’ve got to go down Allens Road. It’s frighten-ing when they swoop down,” he said.

“The kids in the (Allenton School) playground have to put up with it, and I’ve seen the postie being attacked. There seem to be several birds in-volved.”

Elderly Rosebank residents have also been attacked by magpies while riding mobility scooters in the domain. Several have returned to the rest home sporting injuries as a result.

After seeing a magpie in ac-tion at the Allenton School sports day last week, concerned resident John Moore set out to find a solution.

“I rang the council, and was told it was not a council issue – fair enough. The animal control officer told me to get in touch with a pest control person – I rang two pest control business-es, who explained they can’t do anything,” he said.

“New Zealand Post have been in touch with the police as well, who cannot help either.”

Mr Moore said the situation is potentially dangerous, and it’s only a matter of time be-fore someone is injured more seriously or causes an accident while attempting to avoid a swooping magpie.

Ashburton District Coun-cil environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle con-firmed a number of complaints had been made regarding mag-pie attacks.

The Guardian has put up a map on the www.guardian.online.co.nz website to record magpie strike hotspots.

Lowering the drink driving lim-it will go a long way in reducing the number of deaths and seri-ous crashes on Mid Canterbury roads, a local motoring expert says.

Yesterday, Transport Min-ister Gerry Brownlee said Cabinet approved lowering the blood alcohol limit from 80mg per 100ml of blood to 50mg for drivers over 20.

Under the changes, the pen-alty for returning a positive test between 50mg and 80mg would be a $200 fine and 50 de-merit points, meaning a loss of

licence if caught twice in two years.

Testing positive to more than 80mg would remain a criminal offence.

Automobile Association (AA) Canterbury/West Coast chair-man John Skevington, who lives in Ashburton, said the new laws were identical to the changes the AA lobbied for just last month.

“I’m over the moon about this, the results are out there world-wide that you can make a much better judgement driving with an alcohol blood limit of 0.5 (50mg) than 0.8 (80mg), I think this will make a huge differ-ence,” Mr Skevington said.

Half of the six fatalities on Mid Canterbury roads in 2012 were alcohol-related, while in 2011 the Ashburton District Court had a seven year spike in drink-driving cases.

Mr Skevington said police crackdowns such as Operation Rural, which sees police con-duct drink driving blitzes in Mid Canterbury, played a major role in addressing the district’s drink driving problem, and a reduction in the blood alcohol limit would further help.

“And I think making it an in-fringement between 0.5 and 0.8 is important so we are not clog-ging up the courts,” Mr Skev-ington said.

The legislation to change the law will have its first reading in Parliament before Christmas.

Mr Brownlee said alcohol played a part in 61 fatal car crashes, 244 serious injuries and 761 minor injuries every year.

“The social cost of these in-juries and fatalities is $446 mil-lion - a huge sum in a country of our size.”

A two-year review of the im-pact of a 30mg reduction in the legal limit suggested 3.4 lives would be saved and 64 injury-causing crashes avoided each year.

This equated to savings of $200 million in social costs over 10 years.

From Singapore and from Chi-na, from Germany, the Czech Republic and possibly from In-dia – international guests from across the world will begin to trickle into Ashburton next week for this year’s Flight 4 Life kite festival.

With less than three weeks until the festival kicks off at Lake Hood, organiser Craig Hanson said locals weren’t the only ones getting excited.

“After the success last year, word has spread fast.

That we’ve got friends over-seas excited enough to travel halfway across the world to Ashburton, of all places, says a lot.”

He said most of the interna-tional visitors were kite enthu-siasts, and were making the trip to New Zealand specifically for the festival.

The day will feature a giant Rokkaku kite battle, as well as plenty of novelty kites and a chance for children to create and fly their own kites on the day.

Mr Hanson said that almost 100 per cent of businesses en-tered in last year’s kite battle

had entered again this year, and plenty more had joined them.

He said that a training day would be planned soon for any individuals of businesses want-ing to get in a bit of practice

and tune their kites before the day.

Limited spaces are still availa-ble for businesses hoping to take part in the Rokkaku kite battle on the day.

Boom means a better budget By Sue [email protected]

A booming house building sec-tor has been responsible for almost a doubling of develop-ment contributions earned by Ashburton District Council over the past year.

The council budgeted to re-ceive $525,091 in contributions from new home builders but earned itself $938,108 on the back of a significant increase in the number of building con-sents issued for new homes.

For the year to June 30 the council issued consents for 238 new homes, up 38 per cent on the previous year.

Values also rocketing up to $71.57 million from $52.2 mil-lion in the year to June 30, 2012.

Total building consents issued for the year across all categories to June 30 were 1198 with a val-ue of $128.238 million.

These contributions cover water, wastewater and commu-nity development.

In the council’s annual re-port it combines development contributions with subdivision financial contributions; these were $146,000 down on budget.

For the current year, the council has budgeted for signifi-cant growth in its development and financial contribution budg-

et, which is set at $3.367 million but this includes $2.5 million for the EA Networks Centre.

Council group manager busi-ness support Paul Brake said that when this is taken off, it leaves the council with a rela-tively conservative budget for income from development and reserve contributions.

“We set this budget eight months ago and it does appear now to be under budgeted at this stage,” he said.

Since the council set its budg-et, however, the Government had changed the rules around development contributions, re-ducing the amount home build-

ers will pay and rewriting the requirements for commercial development contributions.

In the council’s long term plan it makes assumptions about long term growth and this fig-ure is adjusted to current condi-tions in each year’s annual plan, Mr Brake said.

Ashburton is running in line with Selwyn and Waimakariri district councils when it come to counting their economic growth in a building boom.

Selwyn’s development contri-bution income was double what it had forecast with Waimaka-riri seeing growth of around 33 per cent.

� ROYAL VISIT

PM hints at 2014 visit, but not whoBy audrey youNG

Prime Minister John Key con-firmed there could be a Royal visit next year but he would not confirm it would be The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their baby son George.

However, he was certain that if it was them, he would not be taking them to a street in Auck-land as Labour leader David Cunliffe challenged him to do

at the weekend. “That’s really just the Leader of the Opposi-tion not showing due respect to a Royal visit.

“That’s a political issue and they don’t come to New Zealand for political reasons, that’s the metaphor he is trying to dem-onstrate there.

“They come to do a whole lot of different things and I wouldn’t politicise their visit by taking them to a place I have

been to during making a politi-cal statement.

Mr Cunliffe at his first Labour conference speech said Mr Key would want to invite the Roy-al couple to New Zealand “to bring its cutest member here for a long series of photo ops in an election year.”

He challenged Mr Key to take them to McGehan Close, a poor street in Auckland used by Mr Key in Opposition to illustrate

what he described as a growing underclass in New Zealand.

Australian media have specu-lated a Royal visit by the new parents Downunder is planned for early 2014.

Mr Key said there were pro-tocols around royal visits in election year and they would be followed.

If a visit was close to an elec-tion, he would consult the oppo-sition for support. - APNZ

According to celebrated ven-triloquist David Strassman, Kiwis are notorious for leaving buying their tickets to the last minute – but with tickets to his first show in Ashburton already sold out, locals may be proving the exception to the rule.

He will kick-off his month-long New Zealand tour this evening with a performance in Kerikeri, and travel through 19 centres around the country be-fore hitting Ashburton for two shows on December 1, the final performances of the tour.

Although the internationally renowned comedian, puppeteer and ventriloquist has toured in New Zealand since the early 90s, the visit to Ashburton this year will be his first, and he promised it would be something quite special.

“The last night is always the best show ever. I’ll have had an entire month to make the entire performance slick, and we al-ways screw around and involve the audience a lot more in the last show.”

But although there may be some extra fun in the local per-formance, it will also feature plenty of the technology, robot-ics and sleek special effects that contribute to make the perfor-mance both surreal and visually stunning.

The ventriloquist is known across the world as a pioneer of new technologies and tech-niques, but he said that the show was “95 per cent tradi-tional, hand up the bum ven-triloquism”.

And, at the end of the day, he said that it was the characters that carried the show.

“It’s the characters that bring the puppets to life. Their back-

stories and hopes and dreams and fears have aged and ma-tured with me over the years – and it’s that depth that makes you believe that that character is real.”

A month will give him plenty of time to ‘Kiwise’ the show be-fore he hits Ashburton, and it will also give him a chance to discover our sore spots – but he promised not to bring up the America’s Cup.

And although he said that New Zealand was a “country of techno-geeks” and one of the most advanced societies in the world, he said that it was only the second nicest society on earth - trailing behind Ireland.

Tickets have already sold out for his 6pm show in Ashburton, and although organisers have added a second show at 8.15pm tickets are already selling fast at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Staff face uncertainty over jobsAn uncertain future faces some staff at Wairarapa Hospital as a nationwide programme designed to save money on equipment and supplies takes effect.

Jobs in finance, warehousing and dis-tribution could be taken to other towns, leading to redundancies if existing staff decided not to go with them, said Mark Reynolds, communication and en-gagement manager at Crown company Health Benefits Limited (HBL).

It hasn’t been established how many jobs will be affected in Wairarapa al-though 27 jobs have been affected at the nearby Palmerston North Hospital.

“It is not appropriate to speculate on what outcomes there might ultimately be at any one employer,” said Mr Reynolds.

“What we can say is that overall, most roles disestablished will be replaced by the establishment of roles elsewhere, many of which will be located region-ally.”

The potential outcomes for affected staff would vary, he said.

The programme aims to centralise the way district health boards buy hospital supplies, saving $500 million over a dec-ade to be reinvested into frontline health services.

HBL chief executive Nigel Wilkinson said there was no single catalogue, or-dering system or distribution system of the supplies and services DHBs buy.

Working together would be more ef-ficient, he said. - APNZ

As affordable internet becomes within reach for Rakaia Gorge high country farmers, cellphone coverage remains a dream.

Glenaan Station owner Paul Ensor said he was currently in discussion with Ultimate Broadband which had identi-fied a property downstream to install a wireless aerial, and the company now just needed to find where on the property was the best place to ensure wireless internet reached farms in the area.

Currently farmers can only access internet via various pro-viders offering satellite services, and paying $600 per month is nothing unusual.

Mr Ensor pays $200 per month for phone and just 5 GB of data. It was proving not to be enough data allocation as the number of on-farm applications with an on-line component in-creased.

Cellphone coverage was more or less non-existent.

“We have a tiny bit on one corner of the property down by the river, so basically we don’t have any,” he said.

Glenfalloch Station owner Chas Todhunter once paid as much as $600 in a month when the property exceeded its capped data limit. There were three Farmside satellite links on the farm, altogether costing $250 per month for less than 10 GB.

Mr Todhunter, who is chair-man of the high country sec-

tion of New Zealand Federated Farmers, welcomed Ultimate Broadband coming to the area, and believed it was high time cellphone services followed suit.

“We have practically no cell-phone coverage, except about one kilometre away from the house.

“You have to find the right spot in the paddock and you can get a little bit of Vodafone.

Willy Ensor at Redcliffes Sta-tion pays about $400 per month for 16GB from Rural Inzone, and has a Telecom cellphone which does not work on his farm.

“I only use it when I’m away from home. I do find it frustrat-ing when you wait around the house for a phone call, most peo-ple can just get on with whatev-er they are doing and they have their phone with them.”

Mr Ensor wants Telecom to install a cellphone tower in the same location as a radio repeater station at Lake Coleridge which transmits a signal enabling lan-dline phone services for farmers in the gorge.

The tower would service the gorge area, where up to 30 fami-lies reside, and also provide reli-able coverage for recreational-

ists on Lake Coleridge.A Vodafone cellphone tower

near Windwhistle reached part of the area, but he had not both-ered to get a Vodafone cellphone as it would still not provide full coverage of his station.

Telecom communications advisor Vicky Gray said there were no immediate plans to im-prove mobile coverage in the Rakaia Gorge or Lake Coleridge areas, which had a high level of “fleeting traffic and a small scat-tered population.

It “would require more than one mobile site and therefore makes it a huge investment”.

� ROAST BUSTERS SCANDAL

Sacked for ‘despicable behaviour’By Patrice dougan

One of the young men at the centre of the ‘Roast Busters’ scandal has been sacked for his “despicable behaviour” as police come under growing pressure to take action.

Joseph Levall Parker was fired from his job in an Auckland real estate office amid a public outcry over the group’s online boasts about stupefying under-age girls then having sex with them.

One member of the group made an anonymous apology on Facebook and two members came forward to police yester-day, but a concerned father last night claimed he had dozens of people ready to take vigilante action if no charges were laid.

It is understood at least one of the girls who got involved with the group has attempted suicide.

Mr Parker failed to show up to work yesterday but his man-ager said he had since been fired. The manager said he acted in the “strongest possible fashion” once he learned of Mr Parker’s association with the group.

His brother, Anthony Parker, worked in the same office but didn’t show up yesterday.

His employer said Anthony would get the “opportunity to provide evidence that he has had no part to play in this despicable behaviour”, or he too would be sacked.

According to Anthony Park-er’s Facebook page, he became a dad on Sunday night, when the scandal broke. Last night he had changed his work status to self-employed. He did not respond to a message requesting comment and his brother closed down his Facebook page yesterday.

It is not known how many people are part of the Roast

Busters group, but Joseph Park-er - not the high-profile boxer - and Beraiah Hales boasted of their involvment in a video posted online.

Police confirmed last night that one of the members was the son of a police officer. The Parker brothers are the sons of Hollywood actor Anthony Ray Parker, who appeared in The Matrix.

His New Zealand agent Gail Cowan wouldn’t comment on the revelations yesterday.

“Anthony Ray would like his privacy respected here. He has no interest in speaking to the media.”

The group appears to have been based in west Auckland, with members going to schools including Green Bay High, Kelston Boys’ High and Avon-dale College, according to their Facebook pages.

Police had been monitoring

the Roast Busters Facebook page for two years and had been in touch with schools those in-volved used to attend.

Detective Inspector Bruce Scott of Waitemata Police said the page had been left open for “operational and tactical rea-sons”.

“Whilst we acknowledge it was upsetting for the victims, it was being monitored for infor-mation or evidence that would assist our investigation,” he said.

He insisted the group had been “vigorously investigated” but that there was nothing more police could have done to bring a case to court.

“We continue to look for evi-dence that will assist us in de-termining whether there has been any criminal offending and then once we’ve got this evi-dence we can make a determina-tion on what our next move is,” he said. - APNZ

A man is dead after his quad bike appar-ently crashed in steep terrain in central Otago over the weekend.

Police said James Peter Barry Tuite, 20, from Winchester, set out on a hunt-ing trip alone on Friday afternoon in the Waipiata area but failed to return that evening when he was expected.

The alarm was raised with police about 11.30pm on Friday and the official search was planned to start on Saturday morn-

ing. However, his body was found by a family member early on Saturday morn-ing.

Police said Mr Tuite’s family regularly went hunting on the land and knew the area well.

Sergeant Simon Paget said it appeared that Mr Tuite’s quad motorbike had crashed in an area of steep terrain.

His death has been referred to the cor-oner. - APNZ

Caution urgedwith fireworksBY MYLES [email protected]

Mid Canterbury’s relatively good reputation when it comes to Guy Fawkes will be tested once again as firefighters and animal experts urge caution with fireworks tonight.

With the Rakaia fireworks show going off without a hitch, the weekend provided little headache for Mid Canterbury fire crews who did not attend a firework-related incident, on what is regarded as one of the “bigger nights for Guy Fawkes” by Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade acting chief fire officer Graeme Baker.

However, with tonight be-ing the main event, Mr Baker is warning residents to “use their common sense” to ensure Mid Canterbury’s solid Guy Fawkes reputation stays intact.

“The message is just to be careful, don’t aim fireworks at anyone, let them off well out in the open and keep them well away from bushes and trees,”

Mr Baker said.“Here, we are pretty good and

only have the odd call-out, we will be on guard tonight but we are never rushed off our feet.”

Mid Canterbury principal ru-ral fire officer Don Geddes was also urging caution with bon-fires that come hand-in-hand with Guy Fawkes.

He was keen to remind resi-dents that bonfires can only be lit in rural areas.

“It’s the same old story, pay attention to the weather fore-cast, and make sure the fire is completely out when you’re done,” Mr Geddes said.

SPCA Ashburton inspector manager John Keeley said pets should be locked inside and farm animals well away from fireworks.

“You have to remember they hear everything a lot louder than us, and if they are scared animals can escape ... horses are the worst and can get caught up in fencing wire if they are spooked.”

Quad bike crash claims Winchester hunter’s life

AgResearch could reverse its plan to shift about 80 jobs from Invermay if enough staff refuse to move, Beef and Lamb New Zealand chairman Mike Pe-tersen said.

Mr Petersen said Beef and Lamb would pull funding from AgResearch if “key staff ” decided not to move from In-vermay.

For this reason, he believed AgResearch could reconsider shifting staff from In-vermay if a large enough number re-fused to move.

“It could be that scientists decide not to move and then AgResearch might then decide to accommodate them and retain them at Invermay.”

He “wouldn’t be surprised” if there were changes to AgResearch’s restruc-turing plan.

Mr Petersen said Beef and Lamb sup-ported AgResearch’s plan, based on as-surances its research needs would be met.

However, if key staff decided against the move then $5 million it spent each year with AgResearch - along with $15 million spent by partnering organisa-tions including the Government - would be at risk.

“If there is any indication that we will not have access to good people we will have to take our funding elsewhere.”

Asked why Beef and Lamb had not come out against AgResearch’s plan, even though many farmers in the South wanted it to, he said: “I know the farmers think we should be up in arms, but up in arms about what?

“At the end of the day, we have got the assurances that we have been looking for and we have to take them at face value,” he said. - APNZ

Pharmacist Nigel Dean and pharmacy technician Penny Wilson, recall their days working in the old part of Ashburton Hospital that is now being demolished.Photo tetsuro MitoMo 311013-tM-022

Times of change at hospitalBy Sue [email protected]

When Penny Wilson started work at Ashburton Hospital in 1962, it was a somber and seri-ous place.

The young pharmacy tech-nician worked in a part of the hospital that is now under dem-olition but back then it housed the hospital’s board room, its superintendent’s and senior nursing staff offices, with the upper levels used as accommo-dation for house surgeons.

It was also the main entrance to the hospital and the first con-tact point for visitors, patients and people phoning in to the te-lephonist’s office.

It also had a beautiful stair-case that led to the upper floor.

It was a vastly difference workplace to today’s hospital, she said. With strict uniform and behaviour codes it was a workplace where everyone knew their place in the pecking order, where what you did and where you ranked in the hospi-tal hierarchy was instantly iden-tifiable by the colour of your

uniform or your epaulettes. Senior nurses and matrons in

flowing veils walked the wards and a patient’s role was to stay in bed.

She recalls automatical-ly standing up just a little straighter each time she walked past the superintendent’s door and remembers pay days that saw the hospital accountant sitting around the board table with mountains of cash that was put in brown envelopes for staff pay.

Notes and coins were then the tender of the day.

Such was the power of the hospital superintendent that he had to approve something as simple as a staff member tak-ing an hour off work to sit for a driver’s licence, Mrs Wilson

said.“The old building absolutely

fitted the old style of health care,” she said.

It was also the days of old style morning tea breaks where staff gathered in the cafeteria to enjoy freshly made scones from the hospital kitchen. Staff laun-dry was all done at the hospital.

Current pharmacist Nigel Dean has been the man in charge since 1979 and has watched the old pharmacy undergo a revamp and an upgrade before finally being abandoned after the old hospital buildings were deemed earthquake damaged.

The new pharmacy in a new part of the building might be practical, but it doesn’t have quite the same feeling as the old pharmacy, he said.

When the old buildings dis-appear, so too will a large slice of hospital history and the sto-ries of the people who lived and worked there, Mr Dean said.

“The house surgeons used to live upstairs and there was one young physio who was quite keen on one of them.

“I arrived one morning to see her climbing down the fire escape. We just looked at each other and said, ‘oh, hello’.”

The old pharmacy was a warm place and while that was great for staff it also brought in rats in winter who burrowed their way under the floor boards, only to get trapped and die.

The smell inevitably meant a call to maintenance and another ripping up of floor boards.

While its prime function was dispensing medicines and pills, the old hospital also filled a role in the community as the dis-penser of distilled water. People would line up each day to buy the water because of its purity.

The pharmacy’s equipment also found itself put to other uses when one of the medical staff decided, in the days be-fore yoghurt was commercially available, that the equipment was ideal for yoghurt making.

“Back in those days we made all of our own medicines and pills. Now you make nothing. We even used to make our own suppositories – in two sizes, no one size fits all,” Mr Dean said.

Both Mr Dean and Mrs Wil-son say they’re disappointed the old buildings with all the mem-ories they contain, are being de-molished, but it was clear after the earthquakes, that the old part of the hospital had some serious issues, Mr Dean said.

“It has a beautiful exterior, when people look at this from Elizabeth Street it does repre-sent the hospital,” Mrs Wilson said.

CHANGING FACE OF THE HOSPITAL�

Back in those days we made all of our own medicines and pills. Now you make nothing. “

In brief

‘Death to America’ chantsThousands of Iranians have shouted “Death to America” as they rallied on the anniversary of the 1979 US embassy takeo-ver, in a setback to hopes for a thaw in relations.

Hardline and conservative factions had called for a mas-sive demonstration yesterday, 34 years after Islamist students stormed the embassy com-pound in Tehran, holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.

The crisis, which went on to become a turning-point for Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, led to the severance of diplo-matic ties with Washington and decades of hostility.

Calls for a high rally turnout went out on state television de-spite a recent taboo-breaking telephone chat between the Ira-nian and American presidents against a backdrop of growing signals of rapprochement be-tween the arch foes.

The main demonstration was held in front of the former US embassy complex in central Tehran, with protesters waving anti-American banners, chant-ing “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and burning the US and Israeli flags.

Effigies of US President Ba-rack Obama, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Net-anyahu could be seen held aloft by protesters, a considerable portion of whom were stu-dents.

Similar gatherings were re-ported in other cities across the Islamic republic, according to footage broadcast on state tel-evision.

Some protesters carried rep-licas of centrifuges, equipment

used in enriching nuclear ma-terial, as a sign of “resistance against sanctions,” amid ongo-ing negotiations with world powers over Iran’s disputed nu-clear program.

The United States and Israel suspect Iran’s nuclear drive masks military objectives, de-spite repeated denials by Teh-ran.

Basij militia head Moham-mad Reza Naqdi and vice presi-dent for executive affairs Mo-hammad Shariatmadari were reported by Iranian media to

be among conservative figures and government officials who were attending the Tehran rally.

A large number of Iranian MPs had issued a statement on Sunday vowing to partake in the annual state-organised event in front of the “Den of Spies” - the US embassy com-pound turned into a museum showcasing American “crimes” against Iran.

This year’s ceremony comes after President Hassan Rou-hani, a reputedly moderate

cleric who took office in August with a pledge to improve ties with the West, held a historic telephone conversation with Obama on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in Sep-tember.

It was the first direct con-tact between leaders of the two countries in more than three decades, raising hopes of a rapprochement while provok-ing criticism from hardliners at home against overtures to-wards the “Great Satan”.

Arrest warrant out for ferry skipperThai rescuers have recounted frantic efforts to pluck terri-fied survivors from the sea after a crowded tourist ferry sank, leaving six dead including three foreigners, as police searched for the captain who fled.

The tragedy raised new ques-tions yesterday about safety standards in the kingdom, which drew a record 22 million tourists last year but is strug-gling to shake off a reputation for lax regulation.

Three Thais, one person from Hong Kong and two other unidentified foreigners were among the dead, according to officials in the tourist resort of Pattaya, around 150 kilo-

metres southeast of Bangkok. The double-decker ferry sank on Sunday afternoon near Koh Larn, a small island popular with day-trippers from Pat-taya, a popular beach resort re-nowned for its racy nightlife.

“The boat went down in min-utes. I saw people - some with life jackets, some without - in the water. One man was hold-ing on to a gas cylinder.

“There was a body face down in the water. They were all pan-icking, shouting for help,” said a local dive guide who was one of the first on the scene.

“We pulled 60 people from the water, including a Russian boy. We gave him CPR (cardio-

pulmonary resuscitation) but he was in a very bad way,” she said, asking not to be named.

Police said that apart from the six dead, all of the 150-200 others on the boat - including many Russians - were believed to have been rescued.

“We don’t expect to find any more dead. One Russian boy is seriously ill in intensive care,” said Pattaya police chief Colo-nel Suwarn Chiewnawintawat.

“The captain ran away. We will issue an arrest warrant for him,” he said. “Divers will re-cover the boat today. We still don’t know the cause.”

Stunned tourists were seen being led to safety on shore

where they were met by dozens of ambulances along Pattaya’s neon-lit beachfront.

Accidents involving boats, buses and other forms of public transport are common in Thai-land, where safety standards are generally poor.

“We still don’t know the rea-son for the accident. I am not sure if there are more dead or not, because we don’t know how many people were on the boat,” said a Thai rescue diver.

On Pattaya’s main pier it was business as usual on Monday for the operators of double-decker wooden ferries prepar-ing to take tourists out on day cruises. - AFP

Beware of the swooping magpie


Opinionwww.guardianonline.co.nz10

OUR VIEW

by David FletcherCRUMB

Well it certainly seems magpie swooping season is in full

flight.Size is no barrier for the

fiercely-protective birds when it comes to defending their nests, and they are prepared to take on anyone who crosses their path. Small children have come under attack, as have elderly people – the black-and-white terrors seem to have a particular dis-like of mobility scooters and cyclists.

Currently the worst offenders seem to be in the domain, and in the Allenton area, but no doubt other people are also having problems.

While in many instances the attacks are just a nuisance; albeit often a frightening one, some people have suffered seri-ous injuries.

Scratches and abrasions caused by sharp beaks and claws have resulted in infections, eyes have been damaged, and cyclists have suffered broken limbs and head injuries swerving to avoid attack, and deaths attributed to magpie strikes.

Not all magpies attack from the air, the birds’ most danger-ous strike is from the ground aiming for the face and eyes.

Why then can nothing be done to dissuade these pest birds? They are not native to New Zealand – rather an Aus-tralian import. They harass na-tive birds, driving them out of their territory and they attack people – of particular concern small children and the elderly.

The Ashburton District Council, pest controllers and even the police have been ap-proached – but no one has the power to do anything about the problem – although we have to wonder whether this would be the case if any other dangerous animal or bird was attacking people in public areas.

Surely, at the very least signs could be erected warning of ar-eas of high risk, offering some protection to the most vulner-able people in the community.

The Guardian has put a mag-pie strike map on its website – www.guardianonline.co.nz to show the worst affected areas.

BullyingAs a teacher, I frequently see

the harmful effects of cyber-bullying, and as a school, we do all in our power to discourage the practice and to support the victims of this bullying.

The victims of such bullying are traumatised, lose confidence and often truant to avoid the perpetrators.

Cyber-bullying is an invidi-ous practice.

In extreme cases victims have been driven to taking their own lives.

Those who bully anonymous-ly are usually weak people who will hide behind their anonym-ity to target their victims.

I have always believed that if you hold a view you should have the courage to stand behind it.

That is why I am appalled that the Guardian, through its

policies of running anonymous texts, and running totally un-scientific polls that can be dis-torted easily by a few, is encour-aging such damaging, bullying behaviour and allowing one or two people to run their particu-lar agenda.

If this is the way our town is going to be influenced and if this is the quality of the Guard-ian’s journalism, then we have come to a sorry state.

Yesterday’s result Q: Did you attend the Ash-burton A&P Show?

Today’s online poll questionQ: Should NZ keep the monar-chy or become a republic?

A lot of soul searching going on

There has been more than a little soul searching by Fonterra’s Board.

For all the bad press it gets slammed with locally, I can say from the World Dairy Summit in Japan that Fonterra is not just respected; it is admired by many and even feared by some across the world.

With its independent report on the non-botulism scare, Fonterra’s board dropped a very big hint that things are going to be different going forward in deeds more than words.

Given former Act leader Rod-ney Hide admitted in print this year that “politicians leak all the time,” it must have come as a shock to the media that such a critical and sensitive report was kept tight right up until 2pm last Wednesday.

I didn’t have an advance copy just a general heads up so I raced to the internet at the same time as everybody else. There was no leak and nor was it timed to clash with some other event; Honesty 1 v. Spin Doctors 0.

Even the media conference was webcast live for anyone to watch anywhere on earth. I don’t want to sound like a com-mercial here, but wait, there’s more.

Critical parts of the report were translated into key lan-guages so I guess Fonterra’s board did not want there to be any ambiguity.

Yet the words of Jack Hod-der, who chaired Fonterra’s in-dependent board inquiry, sticks in my mind - the biggest thing that needs to change within Fonterra is cultural.

Improvising processes on

the fly isn’t good enough. Media spin which took me in with the supposed “dirty pipe” isn’t good enough. Failure to comprehend the explosive mix of C.botulinum, infant food and parents and the effect of this on Fonterra and New Zealand isn’t good enough.

Doing the Harlem Shake at work, just like some employees did earlier this year, isn’t good enough either.

This is not amateur hour but the world’s largest dairy exporter responsible for over a quarter of our country’s exports.

The independent inquiry’s narrative in the full report reads like something lifted from television’s Air Crash Investi-gation.

There were 21 chances to have nipped the non-botulism scare in the bud but it was missed, 21 times.

The report and the blow-by-blow narrative does not mince many words. Crisis manage-

ment was undercooked, the power of social media was underestimated and decisions with massive implications were not communicated up the chain.

The old culture meant no one joined the dots until the dam-age was well and truly done.

Out and out financial per-formance must not compro-mise quality assurance or risk management. As a global food ingredients business our reputation has little to do with ‘clean green’ but all to do with the trust our customers put in us to produce safe, wholesome and nutritious food.

Bearing in mind we are deal-ing with an instructive ‘what could have been’, the culture Jack Hodder refers to saw a breakdown in professionalism.

As a Fonterra supplier-shareholder I have a mass of food safety commitments I need to meet where the toler-ance is rightly zero. It is why our manufacturing processes, product testing and quality

assurance need to be drier than the milk powder we produce.

We need global best practice product tracing systems to quickly locate product in hours and not the days it took.

Above all else, we need every staff member from the ware-house to the CEO to under-stand quality and risk because everyone has responsibility for it.

I believe Fonterra’s board ‘gets it’ with a new risk com-mittee being formed and a clear message that its recommenda-tions are not optional requests.

In October, the board is streets ahead of where it was in August by being proactive and accessible as much as it is showing a self-critical honesty about what needs to be done.

A new Fonterra is coming and if you don’t shape up, then you’ll be shipped out.

With the release of the independent report on the non-botulism scare, Fonterra’s board dropped a big hint that things are going to be different going forward.

It’s strange what excites people.At the moment I’m frequently

covered in dust and even a little dirty, but I’m in my element and couldn’t be happier.

I have been given the opportu-nity to reconnoitre in the bowels of the Ashburton District Coun-cil building to appraise those re-cords that will come to us when we open our new building.

Previous reports regarding the council record storage have spoken about the unsuitable conditions for the archives and records of the local authorities and organisations of this area. People know space is cramped and climate conditions not the best, but do many people really know what’s down there?

I didn’t until I began this task, which involves moving dusty and often very large and heavy books into the order that I re-quire them for processing.

It’s a great and full collection,

and one I can’t wait to get to work on.

Most people assume council records are boring and deal with money and unexciting things such as roads, sewerage and wa-ter. While it is true that those sections are abundant, coun-cil records tell the story of the land, people and activities that shape the community we now live in.

I have only just begun my investigation, so I don’t really know the collection that well yet but will keep you informed of my progress.

Like a family tree, archives are arranged in a hierarchy and here in Ashburton the tree begins with roads boards.

There were a number of roads boards in the area – all beginning with Ashburton (es-tablished in 1864). From that one board others split off, con-centrating on their little patch – looking after roads, bridges, land disputes and purchases and

the inhabitants. Small in size, this collection contains mainly minutes, correspondence, finan-cial and some rating rolls. Being so early they are immensely im-portant and valuable.

These roads boards then re-formed into the Ashburton County, which I am working through at the moment.

While the records are in an order, they are not in MY order, so again there is a lot of moving and sorting to do, but hopefully once I get through the county collection I will have a good grasp of what is there.

Once that is completed I will move on to the borough and then the auxiliary groups that were connected by the council or formed for a particular reason – eg domain boards, cemeteries and one off events. One never knows what one may find; the potential for discovery is one of the reasons why I enjoy work-ing with such large and special collections. They really are an

amazing, but often untapped re-source, which will be a valuable asset once it is all easily avail-able.

But making them available is not, as some may imagine, sim-ply moving them to a bigger, better facility. Each item has to be cleaned and in some cases treated for mould.

Metal bindings and clips have to be removed. Some material will require special boxes or bindings to keep them intact or protect them from further dete-rioration.

Then there is the process which researchers require to be done professionally and accu-rately – the cataloguing. Each individual item, be it a huge rate book or a loose letter, must be described as fully as possible – dates, people mentioned or type of record all allow quick and easy access via our database.

That sounds a simple task, but some books have no title so I have to devise one, other books

such as minutes may have at-tachments maybe a map or plan, correspondence or even photo-graphs, so essentially I have to have a quick look at every page to see if there is an additional piece to the story records tell.

Often the reason behind the book is rather vague and I have to do some research or further fossicking to see if I can figure out where the item fits in the family tree of records. Only a day ago I found three index books – no date and no indica-tion of what records they be-longed to, so that’s a project I have set aside for when we move.

It’s going to be a massive job and will take time, so don’t be thinking it will all be available the day we open, but slowly and completely I will be adding this dusty treasure trove to our al-ready extensive collection. It’s probably not something every-one would enjoy doing, but for me it’s a great responsibility and a huge thrill.

Working in the basement of the council

By Kathleen Stringer

Hey Ho hey ho, to a school pro-duction we will go. This collec-tion of young faces belongs to the Ashburton High School, part of a cast that presented ‘an en-tertainment’ at the Theatre Royal in August 1917.

While there were many acts, the group here were responsible for an operetta entitled Little Snow White. Leads were: Miss Crooks, Miss Stewart (who was Snow White), Miss Boddington (Queen of Poppyland aka the evil stepmother) and Miss Mar-shall who was The Prince. The reviewer praised the special ef-fects, especially the use of lime-light when the princess woke up. It sounds, as he said, delightful.

However, the first half wasn’t that bad either. There was group singing, as such events often have, but other not-so-usual items. Although few details were given, the junior pupils per-formed “amusing tests of skill, revealing the attention to which is paid to the pupils physical well being”, dumbbells were used for at least some of the activity.

Something you also don’t see at many school productions was rifle exercises, performed by the school cadets. Gavottes with

shepherds, shepherdess and cupid, singing and trumpet solos and the now ubiquitous haka also featured, as did a mad hatter’s tea party. So no one forgot that there was a war going on a chorus performed the German Baby Killers – an ironical representation of the supposed heroism of the Ger-man Navy aroused much en-thusiasm.

The star piece appeared to be a patter song (maybe the fore-runner to today’s rap) called

Local Untruths performed by two senior boys named Gal-braith and Beaumont. The song used a number of fabri-cated headlines from the Ash-burton Guardian to ‘hit off ’ local personalities and even at least one local body.

As my young folk live in Dunedin, I have been ‘saved’ the ordeal of sitting through a number of school produc-tions, although I have inflicted my fair share on relations. The ones I have experienced are

often entertaining, but usually for the wrong reasons – for-gotten lines, props misbehav-ing and backstage dramas. However, it does sound that this production was the result of much planning and some genuine talent.

Even the calibre of cos-tumes is a far cry from some of the efforts that we see to-day. No wonder there wasn’t an empty seat in the theatre, it truly wasn’t an event to be missed.

An event not to be missed

Westpac sees restrictions slowing housing creditWestpac Banking Corp’s New Zealand unit expects housing credit growth to slow next year as the Reserve Bank’s LVR re-strictions bite, although that will be offset by faster business credit growth as the economy accelerates.

The bank forecasts housing credit to grow 5.7 per cent in 2013, up from 3.7 per cent in 2012, before slowing to a 5.2 per cent pace in 2014. By contrast, business credit is seen slowing to 3.1 per cent this year from 3.3 per cent in 2012, before picking up to 4.9 per cent next year. To-tal credit growth is forecast to rise to 5 per cent from 4.5 per cent.

“The Reserve Bank’s pruden-tial speed limits have or will knock a little bit of wind out of the sails in lending growth in housing,” NZ chief execu-tive Peter Clare told Business-Desk. Still, “we’re starting to see slightly higher levels of busi-ness and consumer confidence. We see green shoots of oppor-tunity.”

Westpac would be relatively sheltered from the central bank’s

curbs as most of its mortgage lending growth has been in the sub-80 percent loan to value range, he said.

The Treasury said yesterday in its monthly economic indica-tors report that based on initial predictions the LVR restrictions introduced on October 1 “are having the expected effect of dampening growth in mortgage finance and reducing the risk and potential impact of a major correction in house prices”.

Westpac’s net loans rose to $61.6 billion in the second half of its 2013 financial year, from $59.4 billion in the same period a year earlier, it reported yes-terday. Housing loans rose 4.5

per cent to $37.5 billion and business and institutional loans gained 2.3 per cent to $22.3 bil-lion.

The proportion of variable rate mortgages fell to 37 per cent from 43 per cent. Overall its net interest margin shrank 34 basis points to 2.38 per cent, although about two third of the contraction was a result of a transfer of $7.2 billion of liquid assets to the New Zealand unit from the Westpac group and excluding that effect, margin contraction was about 10 basis points.

Chief financial officer Leigh Bartlett said much of the mar-gin contraction occurred in the

first half, when there was “in-tense competition in lending and consumers’ preference was for the lowest rate fixed-rate mortgages”.

“So there was compression on the lending spread and also a squeeze on the deposit side,” he said. While the lending squeeze continued into the second half, growth in deposits enabled it to recover some of its deposit mar-gin.

Westpac is forecasting the New Zealand economy will grow 2.8 per cent this year, be-fore accelerating to 3.8 per cent in 2014. Consumer prices may rise 2.1 per cent in 2014 from 1.5 per cent this year, spurring the Reserve Bank to lift its of-ficial cash rate to 3.5 per cent from a record low 2.5 per cent currently.

Expectations of higher inter-est rates are ensuring relatively limited growth in term deposits across the country as customers prefer to keep the money on call, Westpac said.

Westpac New Zealand re-ported a 9 per cent increase in cash earnings, which exclude

one-time items, rose to $770 million in the year ended Sept. 30, according to its Australian parent’s results.

New Zealand generates 9 per cent of earnings for Australia’s second-largest lender, excluding its group businesses and West-pac Pacific business. The parent yesterday posted an 8 per cent gain in cash earnings to $A7.1 billion, meeting estimates, while its net interest margin shrank 2 basis points to 2.15 per cent. Revenue from ordinary activi-ties climbed 4 percent to $A18.6 billion.

Expenses were flat and its ex-pense to income ratio fell by 15 basis points. Impairment charg-es dropped 39 per cent.

Total deposits climbed to $46.6 billion in the second half from $42 billion a year earlier, of which term deposits increased to $24.9 billion from $23.1 bil-lion and other deposits were up about 15 per cent to $21.7 bil-lion.

Westpac’s shares fell 1.1 per cent to $A34.21 on the ASX yes-terday and have climbed 33 per cent this year. – APNZ

Meridian Energy’s instalment receipts have continued to hold firm, helped along in no small part by buying interest from Bank of New York Mellon Corp, through its London-based sub-sidiary, Newton Investment.

The newly-privatised Merid-ian traded on the NZX yesterday at $1.10, up 0.5 of a cent from Friday’s close, and well ahead of its $1.00 issue price when the Government sold 49 per cent of the company late last month.

Bank of New York Mellon, in a disclosure to the NZX, said it had increased its stake, through Newton, to 6.49 per cent from

5.41 per cent. Newton has 50.9 billion ($98 billion) in funds un-der management. Its client base is made up of institutional inves-tors, charities and corporations.

The company’s website says it aims to deliver strong risk-ad-justed returns by screening out short-term market “noise”.

Shane Solly, portfolio manager at Mint Asset Management, said Newton had a yield seeking em-phasis “so they suit Meridian quite nicely”.

“It’s logical for some of these larger funds with a yield focus to be attracted to the characteris-tics provided by Meridian,” Solly said.

The offer was pitched in two

parts, with investors stump-ing up the remaining 50c in 18 months’ time. At the full price of $1.50, Meridian offers a dividend yield of 8.9 per cent.

Meridian, the country’s big-gest power company, generates all its energy from renewable sources – hydro and wind.

“The environmental-green funds should also find their way there, if they aren’t there al-ready,” Solly said.

Bank of New York Mellon is a global investments company with $US27.4 trillion in assets under custody and or adminis-tration, and $US1.5 trillion in assets under management. – APNZ

The 136th Ashburton A&P Show has wrapped up, with thousands of ribbons and plen-ty of cups handed out over the two days of agricultural com-petition.

Show president David Ben-nett said the showgrounds would be cleared of machinery and temporary structures this week and combed by rubbish collectors.

He said Saturday’s brilliant weather encouraged thousands to visit the show, where they traipsed around trade sites, in-spected prime stock and ate hot-dogs.

Quigley Contracting was the best trade site, and their mas-sive machinery and other imple-ments carted to the show by ex-

hibitors, left no doubt about the size of their operation and the farms they worked on.

Judges in the sheep section had a tough time deciding on winners, but some champions emerged.

The champion meat breed ram hogget went to J. T. Myles, the champion wool breed ram hog-get went to Mark Copland and Westmere Farm, the champion ewe hogget went to J. T. Myles and the champion wool breed ewe hogget to Westmere.

Stuart Sinclair took the prize for the super dam meat breed, and Neville Moorhead had the champion super dam wool breed.

Next year’s show will be on October 31 and November 1. An english leicester at this year’s Ashburton A&P Show. 031113-lc-003

MARKET REPORT

LAMBOne month into the 2012/13 season and Christmas processing is in full swing.

There’s only one more week of processing left before it’s too late to catch the final shipments to the UK and Europe so meat companies have been keen to draw in more stock. In one final push, some companies lifted schedule prices by as much as 50c/kg last week. Once Christmas processing is over, schedules are likely to decline as carcase returns become more dependent on the frozen market. However, demand for most frozen cuts is looking firm through until at least December. Negotiations are well under way and buyers are aware of the inevitable tightening of supply this season and that’s leading to firmer pricing being achieved.

BEEFThe price of 50CL fat trimmings in the US surged again over the past week and is

now 30% higher than a month ago, throwing more uncertainty into the manufactur-ing beef market. NZ isn’t directly involved in the 50CL market but the lean beef NZ exports is blended with it in patty formulations in the US, and high fat prices gener-ally translate into weaker lean beef demand. Offers out of NZ are rising, particularly as the bull slaughter starts to increase. Prices for this have held firm so far but pres-sure will rise as volumes continue to lift. However, US domestic supplies are low, and will continue to trend lower, which may be enough to allow prices to hold on. At the farmgate, meat companies have mostly left schedules unchanged for this week.

GRAINThere has been a split recently between feed barley and feed wheat prices, as dairy

farmers’ clear preference for barley and cheap imported wheat prices have meant feed barley sales have outstripped those of NZ wheat. As a result Canterbury feed barley prices have strengthened 16% since this year’s harvest and feed wheat prices have strengthened just 10%. Feed wheat normally commands a $10/tonne premium over barley, but this season this premium has been reversed.

Some growers are now looking to offload feed wheat as it looks as though there will be a carryover into the 2014 season. The $400/tonne mark that they are looking for doesn’t appear to be supported on the buyer side though. There has been activity in the feed barley market, though mostly for delivery of contracted grain. This bodes well for late season demand if the drying weather in Canterbury continues. There has been a lot of early enquiry and activity in the 2014 market for maize grain right through the North Island. With the percentage of the crop being sold on pre-harvest contracts being in the high 90’s most years, it looks as though buyers will need to be in early to lock in supply this year. Contract negotiations for 2014 in feed wheat and feed barley have faltered in many cases as the downward pressure from cheap imports has meant buyers are less willing to meet growers at their expectations.

Dairy farmers reminded to look out for ticksDairyNZ says farmers, especially in North Island areas where ticks are prev-alent, should be checking cattle and talk-ing to their veterinarians about assessing their risk in an effort to limit the spread of a new strain of the blood-borne para-site Theileria.

Cases of cattle being affected by the new Ikeda strain of Theileria orientalis, which is carried by ticks and causes anae-mia, have been on the increase since late 2012, particularly in the upper half of the North Island.

Animal husbandry team leader, Dr Nita Harding says the New Zealand cattle tick is currently in the adult part of its life cycle, and looking to attach and feed on cattle over the next three months. “It’s called questing – as the adult tick seeks a host to feed on before it lays eggs,” she says.

The adult tick will only be on the host animal for about a week. After feeding it drops back onto pasture where it lays up to 2000 eggs over a three week pe-riod and then dies. Larvae hatch from the eggs three to six months later. These attach to a host animal, feed and return to pasture to develop into the next stage

of the life cycle which is the nymph, and then repeat this process to develop from the nymph to the adult tick.

Theileria is not transmitted from one generation of ticks to the next via eggs, so each new generation of ticks becomes infected by feeding on cattle with Thei-leria. Reducing the numbers of larvae, nymphs and adult ticks will limit the opportunity for Theileria to be spread within and between herds.

Tennis juniors run hotThe Mid Canterbury junior representative tennis teams all claimed wins over Malvern on Saturday. The Mid Canterbury 16s played Malvern at West Melton and came away with a 10-6 win. Hamish Hood, Richard Bishop and Oliver Mckeown were brought up from the 14s to fill in, and Malvern claimed all four boys’ singles and both doubles matches but the Mid Canterbury girls’ easily won all of their rubbers and combined with the boys to win all four mixed doubles matches. Meanwhile the Mid Canterbury 14s overcame Malvern 9-7 in Kirwee. Mid Canterbury took out three of the boys’ singles and both doubles matches but only the top girls’ singles. In Darfield the Mid Canterbury 12s beat Malvern 13-3. Apart from the top boys singles all the matches were comfortably won by Mid Canterbury in the boys while the girls were more contestable in the singles dropping two singles matches.

Christie still in yellowAshburton cyclist Jason Christie maintained the yellow jersey on the Toru of Ijen after Sunday’s second stage in Indonesia. Christie went solo to win the opening stage and finished safely in the lead pack in 11th place and extended his lead atop the General Classification standings to 1:29 over Aisan Racing Team’s Nozomu Kimori. The OCBC Singapore Pro Cycling Team also maintained its perch at the top of the Team GC standings.

Paget still waitingEquestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) has received notification from the FEI that the analysis of the B sample from Jock Paget’s horse Clifton Promise will take place in mid-November, with the results notified to ESNZ and the rider in due course. Paget is facing a lengthy ban and the loss of his Burghley eventing title after his horse Clifton Promise returned a positive test for a banned substance and returned a positive reading for Reserpine in his blood. It is a sedative often used to help horses recover from long term injury or illness.

Vettel on another planetPoor start or not, Mark Webber admits he was probably never going to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with teammate Sebastian Vettel in red-hot form. It took less than 100 metres for the Australian to relinquish his 13th career pole position to Vettel, who went on to lead every lap of Sunday’s race and post his seventh successive win. Webber’s second-place finish gave Red Bull their 15th 1-2 in Formula One, with Nico Rosberg rounding out the top three. “What Sebastian did to the rest of us in the race, I don’t think the start in the end was going to be that important,” the 37-year-old said. - AFP

By Jonathan Leask [email protected]

Two titles were closely contest-ed at the Ashburton Speedway on Sunday.

The Mid Canterbury Produc-tion title was claimed by Ron Koole on 62 points with Ellis Jellyman three points back in second, and Ricky Donnelly a further two points back in third.

The Mid Canterbury Stock Car title had a good field of 10 tear up the track with Jacob

O’Connor able to finish one-point ahead of Jason Fletcher on 60 points to take the title.

Fletcher was one of hand-ful of drivers that had raced in Nelson the day before and driven through the night to compete in Ashburton. Harley Robb was third on 56 points.

The third round of a Youth Ministock Series had Zac West come out on top with Josh King second, and third equal were Ethan Roulands and Shi Robb.

The honours were shared in the six shooters between Shawn Aston and Ben Smit on 61 points, with Jayden Fitzgib-bon second.

Some of the best racing was between one of the smaller fields, with four street stocks going hard across three races with plenty of car-on-car con-tact, taken out by Daniel Mc-Nally.

The adult ministocks was won by Callum Evans with

Emma Burnip second, and she also won the ladies stock-car race in her first time in a stock car.

There were also a few A grade saloons taking up the chance to practise on course before Ash-burton’s next day in the dirt, a big one on December 14.

The Ashburton Speedway has a rare Saturday race meet and an even rarer twilight timeslot, hosting the final round of the DHL speed week.

Under 19s

A Josh Worsfold century set the Mid Canterbury under 19 rep-resentative cricket team up for an emphatic 172-run win over South Canterbury in Timaru on Sunday. Opener Worsfold scored 125 off 118 balls, hitting 16 fours and two sixes to lay the platform for Mid Canterbury to score 334/9.

Worsfold shared a 116-run third wicket stand with Will Southby before being the third man out at 199/3. Southby was next to go for 70 and the tail managed to chip in to set the commanding target.

Shaun Stagg removed the openers to have the hosts 478/2

before Ryan Bell and Jeremy Punselie combined to take down the middle order to reduce South Canterbury to 121/7. Stagg returned to mop up the tail taking figures of 3/44 and claimed a run-out to dismiss South Canterbury for 162.

Under 17s

The Mid Canterbury under 17s squad suffered a 111-run loss to South Canterbury at the Ashburton Domain on Sunday.

Batting first South Canter-bury made 210 all out in the 57th over with Deon Biggs and Andrew Jopson taking three wickets each. After a shaky start and the loss of early wick-ets, Jake Patterson made 44 and

Tim Puckett 20 before Mid Canterbury stumbled to be all out 99 in the 44th over.

Under 15s

The Mid Canterbury under 15 squad collapsed to a 101 run loss to Canterbury Coun-try in Ashburton on Saturday. Country made 185 all out after 43.3 overs led by Ben Donkers 94, before he was removed by Gareth Hunt, with Hunt tak-ing four wickets in the over as Country went from 168/4 to be 170/8. Hunt finished with 4/47, with Sam Hall also tak-ing 3/17. Mid Canterbury went from 55/1, with Zach Naldrett 17, to being 62/8 in the space of five overs and were eventual-

ly all out for 84 after 35.4 overs as Country’s Jamie Theile fin-ished with 6/18 off eight overs.

Ashburton College

Ashburton College were left to rue a poor second innings as they lost outright to Christch-urch Boys’ High School 3rd XI in their two-day game on Sat-urday. College had made 128 in their first at bat before dismiss-ing CBHS for 119 (with Deon Biggs taking 6/26) but the op-portunity to build a big lead was dashed when they were reduced to 82/9 at stumps. College add-ed just two runs on Saturday for a lead of 93. CBHS made light work of the chase getting home for a six wicket outright win.

Man U OK in EuropeUnder fire Manchester United manager David Moyes can ease some pressure as the English champions look to edge towards the Champions League last 16 tonight when they visit Real Sociedad. While Moyes has had a tough start as Alex Ferguson’s successor in the English Premier League, United’s progress in Europe has so far been more straightforward. The three-time European champions lead Group A on seven points, one ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and three points better o� than Shakhtar Donetsk.Although a win in San Sebastian wouldn’t confirm United for the knockout stages, it would put Moyes’ men in a very strong position ahead of a tricky trip to Leverkusen in three weeks.

Coach blasts teamBrisbane Roar coach Mike Mulvey described his team as “clueless” and resembling “rabbits in the headlights” despite reclaiming the A-League ladder lead with a 3-0 win over Melbourne Heart on Sunday. In contrast, Heart mentor John Aloisi sounded like the winning coach just moments after his side’s woeful winless road run extended to 16 games, banishing them to the A-League cellar.Sydney FC mentor Frank Farina blasted “semi-professional” match o�cials in their controversial 1-0 loss to Perth Glory on Saturday night after an apparent incorrect o�side ruling led to the only goal.

PSG still unbeatenParis Saint Germain were singing in the rain at Parc des Princes on Saturday, the French soccer league champions making light of the wintery weather to ease past Lorient 4-0 and extend their unbeaten Ligue 1 run to 23 games. Lorient hover just three points above the relegation zone, while PSG next week have a Champions League date with Anderlecht.

Celtic sneak a drawCeltic needed a stoppage time goal from Charlie Mulgrew to earn a 1-1 draw with Dundee United at Parkhead in their Premiership clash on Sunday that preserved their unbeaten start to their title defence. Dundee United looked to be heading for their first win at Celtic Park since December 1992 thanks to a first half strike from Stuart Armstrong. However, Mulgrew popped up two minutes into stoppage time to head Emilio Izaguirre’s cross past Radoslaw Cierzniak to leave his side five points clear of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who reduced the gap with a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock.

Borussia back in frontBorussia Dortmund reclaimed the lead in the German Bundesliga on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp’s side going two points clear of Bayern Munich on the back of an impressive 6-1 win over Stuttgart. Stuttgart arrived at the Champions League runners-up in buoyant form, unbeaten in seven league outings, and number eight was on the cards when they went ahead 1-0 before the quarter-hour. Bbut that was to be Stuttgart’s only high point as it was all one-way tra�c in Dortmund’s favour from then on.

In briefWORLD OF FOOTBALL�

By Coen [email protected]

Young Kiwi footballer Ryan Thomas (right) made a stun-ning professional debut for high-flying Dutch first divi-sion side PEC Zwolle at the weekend.

The 19-year-old from Te Puke was named man of the match in his team’s 4-0 win over amateur side Wilhelmi-na 08 in the Dutch Cup on Thursday and started in Sun-day’s league match against PSV Eindhoven.

He got on the scoresheet and set up a second goal in his first game for the club that has stunned pundits by mixing it with the top sides. Even the staunchest PEC Zwolle fans had merely hoped to avoid the relegation battle, but instead the modest

provincial club won its first four games and is currently sitting sixth on the table.

Thomas has become an in-stant darling of the Zwolle fans and said it was a sur-real experience to hear thou-sands chant his name during Thursday’s match.

“We don’t really get that in New Zealand,” Thomas told the club’s website. “The fans there are much more passionate.”

Thomas earned himself a contract after a successful summer trial and injuries in the squad last week gave the Kiwi his first taste of Euro-pean top flight football.

The New Zealand under-20 international grabbed his op-portunity with both hands and was again in the start-ing line-up Sunday morning for the top of the table clash

against PSV Eindhoven in front of 35,000 fans in Ein-dhoven.

Thomas played 90 minutes and was substituted in injury time as his side hung onto a sensational 1-1 draw against the European powerhouse.

Now he has made his pro-fessional debut, Thomas said his next goal is to represent his country at senior level and will watch the play-offs against Mexico with special interest.

“I hope to be part of the All Whites at some stage in the future, but first I need to fo-cus on becoming a regular at PEC Zwolle.”

An All White call up and a potential World Cup cam-paign would complete a stun-ning rise to fame for the kid from Te Puke.

Te Puke teen making waves

Man City targets Champions last 16 spotBy Tom WiLLiams

Buoyed by their demolition of Norwich City, Manchester City will look to secure qualifica-tion for the Champions League knockout phase tonight when they resume hostilities with CSKA Moscow.

Saturday’s 7-0 victory over Norwich underlined City’s English Premier League title credentials and they will enter Tuesday’s game at the Etihad Stadium with confidence high.

A win would give City a six-point lead over the Russians in Group D with only two match-es remaining.

With head-to-head results the determining criteria in sep-arating teams level on points and, with bottom club Viktoria Pilsen likely to lose at home to group leaders Bayern Munich, victory would probably send City into the last 16.

After consecutive group-phase exits in the past two

seasons, it would represent a breakthrough achievement for new manager Manuel Pel-legrini, who did benefit from a kinder draw than his predeces-sor Roberto Mancini.

Ahead of the potentially de-cisive game, right-back Pablo Zabaleta says City can draw en-couragement from their strong home record this season.

Although they fell 3-1 to Bayern in their last Champions League home game, they have won all five of their league games at the Etihad to date, scoring 20 goals and conceding only two.

“We feel very comfortable at home and our performances have been great since the start of the season,” said the Argen-

tine. “Playing away, we have dropped too many points but, when we play at home, we are a very strong side.”

The racist abuse to which City’s Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure was subjected by CSKA fans in the opening leg on Octo-ber 23 gives tonight’s game an unsavoury subtext.

European governing body UEFA punished the Russians by imposing a partial stadium clo-sure for their next home game in the competition, against Bay-ern on November 27.

Of perhaps greater con-cern to Pellegrini is the form of goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was dropped in favour of Cos-tel Pantilimon for the Norwich game after a series of recent mistakes. Pellegrini must decide whether to keep faith with the Romanian, but he has revealed that Spanish striker Alvaro Ne-gredo should be fit to play de-spite being taken off at halftime against Norwich. - AFP

Darryl Bradley includes Alleyoop in a good book of rides at the Ota-ki-Maori meeting today.

Lisa Latta (right) is hoping for some assistance from above to give her mare Zennista an extra edge come post time at Ellerslie today.

The Awapuni trainer said any easing of the ground would boost the chances of her Group One performer in the Gr.3 Sofi-tel Luxury Hotels Stakes.

Zennista has had two runs this preparation following her successful Queensland winter carnival campaign and finished fifth and sixth respectively at

Hastings in the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate and the Gr.1 Spring Classic.

“She had every chance each time - she just needs a shower of rain,” Latta said. “She went really well and there’s a shower or two forecast so hopefully it comes. She is very well and her work has been good.”

Runner-up in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks at three, Zennista has subsequently added multi-ple stakes wins to her record and performed with distinc-

tion for Latta in Brisbane ear-lier this year. A first-up fourth in the Gr.3 Lord Mayor’s Cup, she then ran third in both the Gr.3 Premier’s Cup and the Gr.2 Brisbane Cup before victory in the Listed Caloundra Cup.

Zennista’s Australian perfor-mances took her career earnings beyond the $500,000 mark with the prospect of more to come – particularly so if there is any rain at Ellerslie where she will be partnered by Mark Du Plessis.

“Basically she’s a weight-for-

age mare now because she’s so high up in the ratings so this race suits her nicely,” Latta said.

She has also sent Corporal Lincoln north for the Rating 65 CACI Mile and there is confi-dence in the Fastnet Rock four-year-old’s prospects.

“He’s won up there before and he’s working really well, I think he can be right in it,” Latta said.

A maiden winner on the track, Corporal Lincoln has taken sig-nificant improvement from his Hastings appearance. - APNZ

Any rain a godsend for Zennista


Racing

Williams targets CupCraig Williams has never lost any sleep over missing the winning Melbourne Cup ride on Dunaden two years ago. After failing in his appeal to have a careless riding ban reversed, Williams took his family to the movies rather than watch the big race unfold in 2011. Today he gets the chance to become just the eighth jockey to complete the grand slam - the Melbourne Cup, the Cox Plate, the Caulfield Cup and the Golden Slipper - when he climbs aboard Mount Athos. “I’ve been really lucky in my career - lots of ups and downs but it’s only made me who I am today,” Williams said. “You have to look forward. Whatever it is in the past is in the past - yesterday is in the past to me.” - AAP

Lemaire confidentFrench jockey Christophe Lemaire has returned to Australia as a Melbourne Cup winner, feeling like a movie star, and with a second Cup victory in sight. Two years ago he flew into Melbourne as a late replacement for the suspended Craig Williams and won the Melbourne Cup in the tightest finish in history. Lemaire, who is back to partner another French horse Verema, soaked up the pre-race atmosphere in the annual Cup parade in Melbourne yesterday.“I have great memories (of 2011) but everything went very fast because I arrived just the day before the race and I left the day after so I couldn’t enjoy the real excitement of the race, especially with the crowd and Melbourne city,” Lemaire said. Lemaire has only had one ride at Flemington and should things go as he hopes, it will be two from two. - AAP

By Mike Hedge

Like a couple of old stock hors-es, the heroes of the 2011 Mel-bourne Cup are positioned to control the herd today.

Dunaden, the narrowest Cup winner ever, and Red Cadeaux, the narrowest of losers, will start from opposite sides of the Flem-ington track, and the trainers of both horses believe they could again finish together.

In the final few days before the Melbourne Cup nothing has worked better than the pair of eight-year-olds.

In his final workout at Werribee yesterday, Dunaden had trainer Mikel Delzangles as happy as he’s been with the horse since he won two years ago.

“I think he’s in very good form, the same as he was two years ago, but I think he is even stronger,”

Delzangles said. “The thing is he has four kilograms more, so he needs to be.”

Dunaden will jump from the in-side gate and Delzangles is wary of the perils of being swamped as the field swarms across to the rail in the 1000m run to the first turn.

“Ideally, I would like him to jump quickly, but not the quick-est, to be not too far from the leader and saving something for the final 300 metres,” Delzangles said. “The thing with him is that he loves it here in Melbourne, he improves a lot when he gets here.

“It’s been the same each time.”Dunaden has emerged from the

pack in the final few days of his preparation, turning in some of the best gallops seen at Werribee in the past month.

And Red Cadeaux, jumping from barrier 23, has been equally en-

couraging. On Friday he produced an ef-fort that surprised trainer Ed Dunlop and had him almost beg-ging for the fast pace that suits his horse.

“The way he’s going it would be tragic if the pace was as slow as it was last year,” Dunlop said.

“I’m very pleased with him, he absolutely loves coming here, it genuinely improves him.”

Red Cadeaux impressed again yesterday in a light canter Dunlop said would top him off perfectly. Of the two, Red Cadeaux has the strongest recent form with a vic-tory in the HK Vase (2400m) in December and places in both the Dubai World Cup and Japan’s best staying race, the Tenno Sho (3200m). - AAP

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) It’s time to start setting your sights on the highest star in the sky, refusing to believe anything is impossible if your heart’s set on it.TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Today Venus not only gives your heart a chance to begin a new journey, she’s committing the next 4 months to making life as exciting as possible. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) There is a shift in focus towards money matters today, with new financial confidence as your expectations take a leap forward.CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Venus puts all aside and commits the next 4 months to helping your relationships shine and she wants you on board from the get go.LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Venus’ return to your work sector today opens the door to months of opportunities and a chance for things to fall into place. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) At first glance there is nothing out of the ordinary about Venus’ return to your romantic sector today, but the affects are likely to be game changing.LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Be responsible for keeping communication lines open, as Venus turns to developing something special on the home front.SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The first step towards achieving across all the currencies in your life is believing in yourself and in what you deserve.SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As Venus leaves your sign today she leaves you with a clear sense of what you want from the future and with a heart that is committed to moving on.CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) This is the day that fun and romance comes back into your life, but also when your heart develops a sense of conviction and a touch of rebellion.AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Regardless of where you are on the professional ladder there is a natural momentum that will keep the momentum going with minimal effort.PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) To ensure there is no sudden drop in professional momentum, work to put your professional instincts, desires and expectations on the same page.

SportAshburton Guardian28 Tuesday, November 5, 2013 www.guardianonline.co.nz

BY SUE [email protected]

It started out a Friday like any other for the latest addition to Addington Raceway’s Hall of Fame, Methven driver Ricky May.

He headed to Addington with a full book of drives, hoping to win a few, but by race five it was proving to be a far from flash night.

The best he’d run in four races was a fourth.

When he was shoulder-tapped and asked to come upstairs dur-ing race five to offer a few tips for the New Zealand Trotting Cup, May was happy to oblige.

It was his only break during the night and while he was spat-tered in mud from the wet track, if the Addington bosses didn’t mind him tracking mud on the carpet, then he didn’t care either.

“It was casual as anything, I was plastered with mud and I still had my helmet on,” he said.

And that’s when his evening changed.

Upstairs May hoped to make quick work of his picks and tips before heading downstairs for his fifth drive of the night.

The organisers of Adding-ton’s Hall of Fame had other ideas.

May admits his mind was

probably elsewhere, and it took a few minutes to realise he was suddenly the centre of attention in front of a very large crowd, and that someone was talking about his racing career.

And then he spotted his family.“I really didn’t know what they

were doing when they started the speeches and then I realised, they’re talking about me.

“They got me a beauty. I was just totally unaware, I was shocked.

“These aren’t given lightly,” he said.

Looking back, May said he should have realised something was up.

That his wife Judy opted to accompany him to the meeting didn’t raise any suspicions but when dad Terry turned up at the couple’s home in a suit, May ad-mits he thought something was a bit off.

His dad asked to be dropped off at May’s sister’s saying they had a family evening planned. He obliged and focused on the races ahead.

“It seems everyone knew about this except me. I had to make a speech but it was pretty short and sweet.

“I didn’t know what to say.“They had a big spiel, but I

was too shocked,” he said.

One harness racing personal-ity and one horse are generally inducted into the Hall of Fame each year, and May this year was partnered with champion sire Christian Cullen.

May is currently the driver with the third highest tally of winning drives in New Zealand, 2286.

He is headed off by Maurice McKendry, 2918 and Tony Her-lihy, 3125.

This season he is ranked sec-ond most successful behind Dexter Dunn.

He has logged 147 starts for 22 wins, 19 seconds and 15 third placings for stakes of $207,965.
