MPI officials feel the heat

It was standing room only at the Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday night as a crowd of at least 800 people packed in to find out more about the way ahead under the strategy to continue trying to eradicate mycoplasma bovis.

A range of industry heavyweights ad-

dressed the meeting, along with Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor, but it was the Ministry for Primary Industries officials who felt most of the heat.

During questions from the floor during the second half of the two-hour meeting at the Hotel Ashburton, farmer frustration over a lack of communication from the ministry surfaced, with

more than one expressing a lack of confidence in the ministry, partly due to the lack of information it was providing farmers.

TRIGGER POINTS

■ PUBLIC MEETING

MPI officials feel the heat From P1 Pendarves dairy farmer Frank Peters, who has become the public face of farmers with M. bovis infected properties, told MPI director-general Martyn Dunne “we need MPI to join in and start talking”.

Dunne said he was aware of the criticism and Wednesday’s meeting was the first in a new series to be held around the country to keep people better informed.

He said Mid Canterbury farmers were better informed that most about M. bovis, adding that half those at a recent meeting in Cambridge, the location of the latest infected property, had never heard of the disease.

Efforts to eradicate were reliant on everyone working together, he said, and communication was an important part of that.

“I cannot stress enough the importance of working together. Cooperation and collaboration are absolutely paramount.”

He said MPI was increasing the number of field staff working with farmers and the size of the Ashburton field headquarters dedicated to helping farmers deal with M. bovis was also set to increase.

There was also concern that while farmers had been criticised for not keeping up-to-date Nait records about stock movements, there was a lack of information

flowing the other way.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury dairy section chairman Chris Ford said he was contacted by a farmer who was buying cows and had contacted Nait to confirm that they were not affected by the M. bovis outbreak.

However, the farmer was told that he was not entitled to be given that information due to privacy laws.

O’Connor acknowledged that it was a difficult area that had prompted a lot of discussion.

He said when Nait was established farmers were worried about their farming information being publicly available but now the situation had changed and

there was a need to balance that with fair access to information as farmers needed to know about where stock had been if they were thinking of buying.

That would probably require a review of the Biosecurity Act, while the Privacy Act and Nait would also need tweaking.

O’Connor said despite some in the farming community thinking eradicating M. bovis was impossible “they used to say that about bovine Tb”.

He said there was a better than 50 per cent chance that eradication could be successful, although it would take time and the first couple of years would be very difficult for some farmers.

Eve Pleydell, principal adviser for animal readiness and response at MPI, told the meeting that although there was not a set in stone point where the eradication strategy would be dropped in favour of helping farmers manage mycoplasma bovis, there were four triggers that could lead to that happening.

■ The first of these was that if it became apparent there was more than one strain of the disease in the country. There are a number of different strains of the disease worldwide but testing to this point has found there is only one in New Zealand. Work is still continuing to exactly where the one here has come from but it has been isolated as one from either somewhere in Europe or the United States.

■ A cluster of diseased properties is found that is not connected to the current network. As it stands today, MPI can connect all the infected properties through tracing of animal movements. If properties were discovered to be infected that could not be linked to the current ones, it would make the task of keeping track of the disease’s spread that much more difficult.

■ The scale of the outbreak increased significantly. Although MPI is expecting more farms to test positive, a dramatic increase would show its spread may be too much to contain.

There is no exact number at this stage.

■ The timing of new infections.

The latest infection can be traced back to animal movements at the end of 2017. If properties are found where tracing shows it was occurring this year, it would imply the spread is ahead of MPI’s ability to keep up with it.

Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said the situation would be reviewed regularly and a monthly report would be made to cabinet.

The other key time will be spring calving. It’s accepted that M. bovis is far more likely to show itself when cows are under stress and calving is one of those times.

With that in mind there will be a lot more testing around and after that time, with the real potential for more cases to be discovered.

Farmers keen to join forces in M. bovis eradication T

he size of the crowd at Wednesday night’s public meeting in Ashburton about mycoplasma bovis showed just how serious the Mid Canterbury community was taking the disease and its potential economic impact.

It was billed as being a “where to from here” session, in particular providing some answers around stock movements and Gypsy Day, and although some were left disappointed at a lack of information in that regard,

Colin Williscroft overall most people would have left the meeting better informed than when they arrived.

It was pleasing to hear, particularly from those who opposed the eradication strat-

egy when its continuation was confirmed earlier this week, that it was important everyone accepted that was the goal and it was now time to band together and try to achieve it.

Despite the obvious frustration among some in the audience over shortcomings in the Ministry for Primary Industries performance so far, particularly in its dealings with affected farmers, those in the crowd treated the ministry officials and industry leaders who addressed

the meeting with respect.

It was also important for those officials, and Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor, to acknowledge that there were aspects over the ministry’s handling of the disease, mainly around delivering information at the coalface, that could be improved upon.

Potential fireworks did not eventuate, rather both speakers and the audience found at least parts of the common ground that has always existed – a desire

to minimise the impact of M. bovis on individual farmers, the agricultural sector and the wider community as much as possible.

It’s not going to be easy and there will be difficult times ahead, you can be sure of that.

But what is needed is for everyone to put differences aside for a while and work together.

It will need to be a partnership, and they require a bit of give and take to be successful.

Only time will tell whether this one will work.

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A 62-year-old man was airlifted to hospital following a serious accident with a hay baler on a Mid Canterbury farm yesterday.

Emergency Services were called to an industrial accident on Brothers Road, near Mt Somers, at 11.14am.

Fire and Emergency volunteers from Ashburton, Mayfield and Methven responded to the rescue call-out, along with police and St John Ambulance paramedics.

According to a police spokesperson, the man had suffered serious injuries after becoming trapped inside a hay baler, and required freeing.

Shortly after noon, a Westpac helicopter was dispatched and the man was transported to Christchurch Hospital Emergency Department.

There were no updates available on the man’s status yesterday afternoon.

Worksafe was advised of the incident.

■ METHAMPHETAMINE CONTAMINATION

Clarity call on safe meth levels

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

A bombshell report finding no evidence that third-hand methamphetamine exposure causes adverse health effects is good news for Mid Canterbury landlords, tenants and home buyers.

However, a local real estate agent is calling for clarity in legislation around safe levels in the wake of the report.

There are believed to be hundreds of homes throughout Mid Canterbury which have meth residue on interior surfaces due to people smoking the Class A drug.

Author of the report, the Prime Minister’s chief science advisor

Sir Peter Gluckman, said there was more risk to home dwellers from mould.

His report said that meth levels exceeding the current standard of 1.5mcg/100cm2 should not signal a health risk, and exposure 10 times higher (15mcg/100cm2) would also be unlikely to have any adverse effects.

Property Brokers residential commercial sales agent Hamish Niles welcomed the report as a new step in contributing to knowledge of what were safe levels.

He said methamphetamine contamination was not a huge problem in the district, however, it was relatively common

for home buyers to make their purchase conditional on a methamphetamine test coming back clear.

“You have to be mindful that for some purchasers any level won’t be acceptable, for others it might be slightly different,” Niles said.

Real estate agents needed to know with certainty what levels were acceptable.

“Just from a selling property point of view, we don’t want anyone to go into anything that’s hazardous or harmful to them.

The main thing is we want clarity,” he said.

“It’s just a matter of making clear these are the accepted lev-

els and there’s a scientific basis behind it.”

His call for clarity in legislation was backed by the Insurance Council of New Zealand.

“It will be important that there is a single level that applies across all regulation including the update of the existing standard,” chief executive Tim Grafton said.

Sir Peter’s report found that remediation according to the current New Zealand standard is appropriate only for identified former meth labs and properties where heavy meth use has been determined.

Minister of Housing Phil Twyford commissioned the report in December, against a backdrop of

anxiety about the issue.

“There has been a widely held perception that the presence of even low levels of meth residue in a house poses a health risk to occupants.

“As a result, remediation to eliminate contamination has been an extremely costly business for landlords and an upheaval for tenants being evicted at short notice,” Twyford said.

“No one is underplaying the social damage caused by meth, but there should be a scientific basis for what are acceptable levels of meth in the current New Zealand context; and remediation of houses should be proportional to the established health risks.”

In brief Surgery successful Radio host Simon Barnett will return to work in coming weeks as he takes off extra time to care for his wife Jodi. His fellow More FM Breakfast hosts have been talking about him coming back Tuesday next week, however, this week said he plans to accompany Jodi as she begins radiation treatment.

Jodi had a sudden seizure at home in April and underwent surgery after being diagnosed with two lesions on the brain. Barnett told listeners last week that the surgery had been successful, however, radiation therapy for six weeks and chemotherapy for six months was required to treat a remaining malignant brain tumour.

Pasifika families made to feel at home

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Three years ago, Ashburton Borough School principal Sam Winterbourn set out on a mission to connect his school’s growing Pasifika community through annual gatherings.

It was an idea that paid off, with grateful families praising him for helping them feel at home in the school grounds – and now even more so, with a new mural celebrating various aspects of their cultures.

The mural was unveiled at Wednesday’s gathering, after being designed by senior students and painted by parents.

Families from Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Niue, Tokelau and the Solomon Islands are part of the annual gatherings and are represented in different parts of the mural.

At the gathering, a heartfelt thank you and farewell went to Winterbourn, who the group said they would miss enormously when he leaves Borough

at the end of term 2. As he was presented with a kava bowl and a wall-hanging, parent Fifita Satui said his leadership and hard work had made them feel at home away from home.

“There are some things I do because it’s my job – others because I want to make a difference.

“I feel like this is one of those things I’ve done because I wanted to make a difference,” Winterbourn said.

Teacher Jan Church said gath-

erings have been held for the past three years as a means to build home-school relationships between parents and teaching staff, consult with the school’s Pacific Island community and build connections within the community.

“We aim for each child to feel secure and confident in themselves and to experience success … to do this we need to respond to and celebrate the languages, cultures and identities of all present.”

Winners and placegetters in this year’s Mid Canterbury Combined A&P Associations’ Winter Feed Grand Final were announced at a special function held at Stronechrubie in Mount Somers late last week. Results were as follows: Open class (which were all fodderbeet crops): 1st place and overall winner, Scott Middleton; 2nd Kevin Jackson; 3rd Michael Askin.

Best other crop (which were all kale crops): 1st Chris Curd; 2nd Martin Fleming; 3rd Willy Ensor. Target crop autumn saved pasture: 1st David Butterick; 2nd Mark Lock; 3rd Andrew Mackenzie. The organisers would like to thank all sponsors, judges, cutters and contestants.

■ ASHBURTON DOMAIN

Community vege and flower garden proposed Ashburton primary school teacher Helen Mitchell would like to see a community vegetable and flower garden near the children’s playground in the Ashburton Domain.

Volunteers could run the garden on council property and help inspire and educate a new generation of children, she told Ashburton District councillors when she pitched the idea at council’s long-term plan hearing this week.

“On fine days in the weekend, children would go to the playground, then wander over to see what is growing in the garden.

Volunteers would share with them.

“There would be opportunities to do digging, planting,

watering, weeding, composting and harvesting.

“Children can learn to identify basic vegetables and be encouraged to eat them.

“Parents can also learn and discuss gardening problems with volunteers.”

Mitchell said the cost would be minimal, but the rewards great.

“It is a healthy hobby that not only reduces screen time, but connects children with the earth and where our food comes from, the real world.”

The flower garden could be planted with plants left over from council’s own planned plantings.

Children could choose a flower, plant it and put their name

alongside it; they could return to monitor how it was growing.

She also pitched for a herb garden near the barbecue area, along with a plaque with information about the herbs and their health benefits.

A few fruit bushes and trees would complete the area.

“Many parents love the idea of growing vegetables at home with their children, but time pressures and limited knowledge are barriers.”

Mitchell said the domain had acres of magnificent gardens and an interactive vegetable and flower patch would only take up a “tiny part”.

She also suggested some adult play or fitness equipment in the children’s playground and chil-

dren-led aerobics, like Jump Jam in schools, in the domain.

Councillors enthusiastically received Mitchell’s ideas and asked if she was interested in leading the project.

“I am an average gardener myself but there are some gifted people out there, but I could do it to the best of my ability.”

Cr Stuart Wilson was worried the garden would be vandalised and that its supporters would eventually run out of enthusiasm.

Councillors agreed to look at adult fitness equipment in the domain and have asked council staff to prepare a report on what is available; some $100,000 is available in a reserves contributions account.

A Former Marist Brother and Auckland Catholic Diocese employee is facing three historical sex charges against young girls.

Michael Beaumont, 71, appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday facing charges of indecently assaulting two 12-year-old girls and one 9-year-old girl in 1977.

Beaumont entered no plea.

He is listed as administration support for tertiary education provider The Catholic Institute of New Zealand on their website.

He will next appear in court on June 21.

Predator appeals Recidivist rapist and serial predator Colin Jack Mitchell, who was jailed indefinitely for two brutal and sexually motivated attacks on women in Auckland 25 years apart, will appeal his convictions. On May 18 Mitchell, 60, was sentenced to preventive detention which means he can only be released if the Parole Board deems he is no longer a risk to the public. In March, a jury found him guilty of abducting a young woman then wounding and assaulting her at a quarry in Riverhead, West Auckland. After the same trial Mitchell was found guilty of the historic unsolved rape of a West Auckland mum in 1992.

Clearwater hut survey ‘unnecessary’

By Linda CLarke

Left – Lake Clearwater huts on a gorgeous, crisp winter’s day.

PHOTO CHERYL CAMP

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Disgruntled Lake Clearwater hutholders tried to convince Ashburton District councillors not to spend money on an unnecessary hut survey this week.

Council is planning to re-survey section boundaries in an exercise that could cost $150,000 but hutholders say they know where all the boundary pegs are and can sort most boundary breaches.

They also say selling the leases to three new waterfront sections to pay for the survey is not necessary and actually against the rules of council’s own district plan, which forbids more development because of environmental impacts.

There is no electricity to the settlement, no sewerage and no drinking water or stormwater infrastructure.

Lake Clearwater Hutholders Association secretary Andy Shearer led a delegation of members to the council’s long-term submission hearings this week and spoke on behalf of the 180 section leaseowners.

The association was formed in the 1960s and generally runs the settlement without interference, including operating the informal

camping ground, carrying out work as needed in the wider area, cleaning toilets and running a voluntary fire crew.

He said council had advised

them that three new sections would be sold to fund a review that would look at boundary lines, unlawful building and fire safety concerns.

Those issues should be covered by general rates as regulatory functions of council, he said.

Shearer said most of the original survey pegs were still in the

ground and the owners of the holiday homes were confident of finding 90 per cent, so a complete new survey was not necessary.

One owner recently found all the pegs on his street in 15 minutes.

The original blocks are 202 square metres.

Shearer said most boundary transgressions could be easily sorted between neighbours, although some members had extended their sections into a nearby plantation.

Dealings with council over the issue had been negative and jeopardised an historic close relationship that had worked well until now, he said.

The hutholders wanted council to rescind the decision to sell leases on the new sections.

Councillors later decided not to rescind the motion to sell, but to halt the sale process.

They agreed that a survey still be undertaken, funded through a different account; the huts area could be looked at as a separate rating area next year.

■ MYCOPLASMA BOVIS

Axing Gypsy Day ‘would have been disastrous’

Andrew Hoggard

Cancelling the dairy sector’s traditional June 1 moving day because of mycoplasma bovis cattle disease would have been “disastrous” for farming businesses, says Federated Farmers.

Vice-president Andrew Hoggard, a dairy farmer, said the risk analysis showed the cost of cancelling the day when thousands of dairy cattle and farming families move to new pastures and homes would have been much higher than the danger of spreading the disease.

“It would have absolutely and utterly screwed up farming business. With the added precautions

around people recording their movements, we will be able to trace those movements.”

Today is the first day of the new season for the $14 billion dairy sector.

The Government’s decision not to cancel the annual movement day has been questioned given the current mass cattle kill response to the M. bovis outbreak, and because tracking movements will depend on the National Animal Identification and Tracing scheme (NAIT), a system which has been shown by the outbreak to be flawed.

The industry, including farm-

ers, lifestyle block owners and farming support services are said to have failed to record cattle movements in the system because its design has made the job onerous.

This failure has contributed to officials’ difficulties in tracing potentially infected cattle.

The Government this month announced work had started to improve NAIT. t An MPI spokesperson said if farmers followed sensible precautions any risk could be greatly minimised.

“Preventing animals from moving would likely result in very

challenging animal welfare problems for many herds prevented from moving, through lack of feed and degradation of pasture over winter.

“All farms that are infected or high risk are under movement controls so will not be moving stock.

“Farmers should have confidence in dealing with farms that are not under regulatory controls, so long as they are carrying out good biosecurity measures including NAIT compliance, understanding herd health history, and using good on-farm biosecurity measures.”

■ HIGH COURT

Former cop fails in bid to be a lawyer A former police officer who admitted sending inappropriate texts to a 13-year-old girl and was twice acquitted of sexual violation charges has failed in his bid to become a lawyer.

Ethan James Brown, 27, was found not guilty of sexual violation accusations against two women in 2012.

After the verdicts, police launched an employment investigation into Brown, who later resigned. He then went on to study criminal law.

Last week, before Justice Edwin Wylie in the High Court at Auckland, the New Zealand Law Society (NZLS), which declined Brown a certificate of character, accused the former constable of misleading it over the police investigation and text messages he sent to a young girl in November 2012.

Brown, who has been employed by the Public Defence Service (PDS) since January 2017, denied the allegation of misleading the society as he sought admission as a barrister.

Yesterday, Justice Wylie released his decision – he declined Brown’s application.

“Mr Brown has not satisfied me that he is a fit and proper person to be admitted as a barrister and solicitor of this court,” Justice Wylie said.

“Had Mr Brown been more open in his disclosures to his employer, the police and the society, I would have been prepared to accept that his character has reformed and that he has put the frailties of his past behind him.

“However, I am not persuaded that Mr Brown has been as candid as he should have been in his disclosures, or that even yet he fully appreciates how inappropriate his conduct was in 2010.”

Brown’s criminal charges stemmed from an alleged incident with a 20-year-old woman in late January 2010.

The woman said Brown held her down and sexually violated her at her home. Brown said the incident never occurred.

A month before he was acquitted of that charge he was also found not guilty of one charge of sexual violation, attempted sexual violation and two counts of indecent assault against an 18-year-old woman he met on Facebook. Brown again said the incident never happened.

“In my judgment, Mr Brown has sought to minimise the events of 2010,” Justice Wylie said in his written decision yesterday.

“There is reason to doubt whether he has fully reformed and whether his earlier frailties in his dealings with young women are yet spent.”

The court heard last week that

Ethan Jmaes Brown there have been 13 female complainants making allegations against Brown.

Brown had sent an email to the NZLS last year about his application for admission, to which the NZLS said it first needed to know of the findings of the police’s disciplinary matter.

Brown replied to the NZLS: “I did not have any disciplinary matter with my former employer and I was not disciplined.”

He told the court he was subject to an employment investigation but not a disciplinary matter and resigned from the police before any disciplinary action was taken.

Brown also failed to disclose to the NZLS the truth about a series of texts to a 13-year-old girl.

He admitted exchanging messages with the teen but told the NZLS he thought she was older than 16 at the time.

However, Brown accepted during the court hearing that he “must have known after reading those text messages” that the woman was under 16, whom he had also met in an Auckland mall.

In the texts, Brown asked the teen for her name and age.

“I’m 13 ‘till March, with a little sad face symbol,” the teen replied to Brown’s request.

“Sweet, all good eh – how was your day anyway?” Brown texted back.

“Haha it was pretty boring, my Nan dragged me around the mall,” said the teen.

In an affidavit, Brown also claimed: “It’s hard to remember exactly what was in my mind at the time, I thought she was over 16 at the time because she told me ... She looked over 13 when I met her at the mall.”

Brown explained several times to the court that he was “disgusted” in himself but denied he was promoting a sexual relationship with the teen.

Counsel for the NZLS Paul Collins suggested the texts were “essentially a sexual grooming encounter”.

“I know how serious things are and how serious things were,” Brown said.

“I’m ashamed of the whole lot ... I’m not a predator.”

Grafitti highlights frustration over lack of pothole action Geoff Upson has been contacting road authorities about the state of the road near his home for about 18 months but nothing has been done about it.

Since taking the high road was getting him nowhere, the Auckland man decided to draw giant penises around the potholes, in the hope they’ll grab the council’s attention.

Earlier yesterday, Upson went live on Facebook showing the two 20-metre long penises he had drawn earlier on Kahikatea Flat Road, near Waitoki.

The fluoro green penises, about 1.2m in width, surrounded the numerous potholes on the road, drawing attention to the hazards.

Speaking to the Herald, Upson explained he decided to draw “a

great artist’s impression of a penis” to get local road authorities to fix the road.

“I decided to do this as I have been driving over this stretch of road for 18 months and this is usually repaired using a temporary patch, and I estimate this temporary repair is carried out 35 to 45 times per year,” he said.

According to Upson, “many other people in the area are also frustrated with the quality and some people have even damaged their cars on this piece of the road”.

“There are also a few other potholes which are filled in regularly along this road, Kahikatea Flat Road, but this is the worst part,” he added.

Upson says the “civilised” way

of approaching the matter has not worked in 18 months but he hopes the giant penises will lead to a solution.

“I’ve seen it overseas, someone has done the same thing. They drew penises around the potholes and the council was forced to fix the potholes because people started complaining about the penises,” he says in the video.

Kahikatea Flat Road is a busy road which connects State Highway 16 to Dairy Flat Highway. Upson says the road registers about 6200 daily traffic movements, including a high number of heavy vehicles.

Upson’s video gathered more than 4000 views in just a few hours.

‘Brad the bachelor’ just hanging out Auckland Council rangers have been “gobsmacked” to find a rare native bat that decided to hang out at a home in Patumahoe.

A long-tailed bat – measuring just the size of a thumb and weighing around 10g – was found this week settled in the corner of a veranda in a property in the rural settlement, near Pukekohe.

Rangers dubbed it “Brad the bachelor” as the species are usually known to roost in trees, among colonies typically numbering from 10 to 50.

Auckland Council senior biodiversity advisor, Ben “the batman” Paris said the team was curious and hopeful about Brad’s presence.

The long-tailed bat population is nationally critical – the same conservation status as our rarest birds – due to predators and deforestation, so Aucklanders were lucky to get a glimpse of a bat – let alone have one tucked under their eaves.

■ NORTH KOREA

Making Korea ‘normal’ Moments after Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader to cross into the south last month, he convinced his counterpart Moon Jae In to step back with him across the border.

The message?

Things will only be done on Kim’s terms.

That’s becoming ever clearer in the run-up to Kim’s planned meeting with US President Donald Trump in Singapore next month.

The on-again, off-again summit remains in doubt as the US tries to figure out what it will take for Kim to trade away his nuclear arsenal.

Discerning the motives of Kim – a 30-something leader often lampooned in the West as an overweight madman with a funny haircut – will be key to understanding what kind of deal is possible.

Judging from his public statements and state-run media, at least two things appear evident: He wants a deal to ease sanctions, but he won’t give up his nuclear weapons until he feels safe enough to retain power without them.

“The word that defines Kim Jong Un’s current state is anxiety-fear for both his life and the security of his leadership,” said Youngshik Bong, a researcher at Yonsei University’s Institute for North Korean Studies in Seoul.

“He wants to be the leader of an ordinary country, but the justification of abandoning nuclear weapons and missiles in return for economic prosperity isn’t guaranteed to be welcomed by the entire political elite,” Bong said.

“Opponents will be quiet as long as there is a viable inflow of economic prosperity and a sudden improvement of living standards with the lifting of economic sanctions.”

In many ways, the world is just getting to know Kim, presumed to be the third and youngest son of former dictator Kim Jong Il. Prior to his recent outreach, some of the only insight on his personality came from former NBA star Dennis Rodman – who said last year he’s “always calm, he’s always smiling, especially when he’s with family.”

Roseanne slams co-stars Roseanne Barr has attacked her costars for throwing her “under the bus” amid the cancellation of her sitcom. The 65-year-old TV star had her eponymously titled sitcom Roseanne cancelled this week after she took to Twitter to make racist comments toward former White House aide Valarie Jarret, whom she likened to an ape and accused her of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood political party. Roseanne tweeted: “i created the platform for that inclusivity and you know it.ME. You throw me under the bus. nice! (sic)”

Kim Jong Un won’t be giving up his nuclear weapons easily.

His recent interactions with the outside world-including two meetings each with Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korea’s Moon-showed another side to the brutal dictator presumed to have killed his family members in a bid to consolidate power.

He’s proven to be a skillful diplomat who can use humour, humility and flattery to achieve his goals.

Denuclearisation means many things to many people, but one thing is clear – a program that took decades to build cannot be dismantled overnight.

Siegfried S. Hecker, a Stanford professor who once directed the Los Alamos weapons laboratory in New Mexico, says a phased denuclearisation of North Korea could take far longer than the United States envisions.

In March, Kim made his first trip overseas, a secretive journey by train to meet Xi in Beijing-repairing ties with North Korea’s largest trading partner.

The two leaders followed it up with another meeting in early May. Kim’s two summits with Moon have revealed even more about his personality.

In April, when Kim walked into South Korea, both leaders declared “a new era of peace” and sought a formal end to the seven-decade-old Korean War. On that day, Kim joked that Moon no longer needed to wake up in the middle of the night to deal with missile tests, and mentioned that North Korea’s transportation system “is deficient and you might find it uncomfortable”.

The possibility of getting overthrown is a real worry for Kim. US National Security Adviser John Bolton amplified those concerns by calling on him to give up his nuclear weapons before getting sanctions relief while citing the case of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, who took that approach before he was murdered in an uprising.

North Korean statements vilifying Bolton and VicePresident Mike Pence for referencing Libya prompted Trump last week to cancel the planned June 12 summit in Singapore.

North Korea then flattered the US President the next day, saying the “Trump formula” might lead to a resolution.

Trump has since indicated that the meeting may proceed as scheduled.

While Kim has said he’s open to “complete denuclearisation,” the definition of that remains unclear.

Kim has been worried about internal threats since he took power in 2011, purging many senior officials including his own uncle.

Last year, he had his halfbrother Kim Jong Nam killed with a chemical weapon at an airport in Malaysia, according to South Korean authorities, a move that removed one of his last remaining rivals for power in the bloodline.

At the same time, Kim accelerated his quest to obtain the capability to strike the US with a nuclear weapon, testing three intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the American mainland.

Just as talk picked up in Washington about a potential “bloody nose” military strike, Kim pulled back.

He declared his nuclear programme complete and sought to engage with the world.

In a New Year speech, Kim promised that 2018 would be a turning point in improving for North Korea.

Janine has been waiting for this moment for a long time. It’s been two years since the Kiwi singer, songwriter and producer Janine finished 99, her debut album, and almost 20 since the year it’s named after.

After attracting buzz since 2013 with her singles, EPs and mixtapes – Janine says finally releasing her first full-length almost feels like “fantasy”. “It was meant to come out the year before last, and then it was meant to come out early last year, then late last year,” says Janine.

“It got stuck in one of those situations where Atlantic were like, ‘we want to build your buzz’, and then I’m like, ‘well, I need new music to build the buzz’.”

Knifeman on train shot dead by police A knifeman has been shot dead after he stabbed and seriously injured two people on board an intercity train in Germany.

Federal police confirmed that the knife attack had taken place near the central train station in the northern city of Flensburg, on the Danish border, the Daily Mail reported.

Debut album – finally

The man allegedly took out his weapon at around 7pm local time on Wednesday while on the fast train travelling to Flensburg via Cologne and Hamburg.

Local media say that there has been at least one fatality and two injuries.

Early reports suggested that

the one dead was the assailant, while the two injured were policemen who had taken him down.

German newspaper Bild reported that the man had been shot while coming at the police with the weapon.

As the train arrived in Flensburg at 7.06pm the two police

officers are said to have boarded. Then the attacker is said to have injured the female police officer and her colleague then shot the man.

A police spokesman said that he was not aware of any connection to terrorism as yet and the suspect is not known at this time.

Taylor Swift battled through humid conditions when she took to the stage at BBC’s Biggest Weekend on Sunday night.

And it didn’t go unnoticed by presenter Greg James, who has been scolded by fans after jokingly telling the singer to ‘take a shower’ following her energetic performance. Taking her aside for a brief post-show interview at Swansea’s Singleton Park, the BBC host said: ‘I think you need to have a shower now,’ in an apparent reference to the muggy conditions. Luckily the pop star managed to see the funny side, quipping: ‘I agree, I’m not offended, there’s a lot going on and almost none of it’s good.’

methamphetamine: THE DEBATE RAGES ON

Finally the chance to debate based on fact and logic as to the level of decontamination of a property affected by methamphetamine.

In a recent press release Housing Minister Phil Twyford has argued there is no evidence of any health affects associated in occupying a property with low levels of methamphetamine residue and has signalled new standards and less stringent criteria for houses within the next year, with Housing New Zealand immediately changing its policy regarding decontamination. It now deems a property safe to live in if it has a level of less than 15 micrograms per 100cm2, instead of the current level of 1.5 micrograms per 100cm2.

Firstly to understand the level of contamination there needed to be a unit of measure based on a consistent process of testing, hence the testing of a square surface 100cm2 to measure in micrograms the amount of methamphetamine present on that surface area.

Initially testing was, and for very good reason, to determine if a property or vehicle had been used to manufacture methamphetamine.

The chemicals used in the manufacture of methamphetamine, if handled or stored safely, pose little risk. However, when combined, the chemicals create a gaseous reaction, becoming very volatile with obvious health risks and damage to property.

The damages to property are horrific and the costs to decontaminate a clandestine methamphetamine lab is frightening. In New Zealand the current industry standard of 1.5 micrograms per 100cm2 was introduced to determine a safe level for people to reoccupy after the decontamination of a property where methamphetamine had been manufactured.

Public awareness was rapid and varied greatly, looking for the presence of methamphetamine. I have been P testing for several years now and have regular upskilling seminars and form part of a management team to create a model for risk management going forward.

However, I am personally sick of the sight of old images of primitive clandestine labs and the propaganda associated. In my

opinion, the cowboy cooks have had their day. Methamphetamine today is being produced on a far more sophisticated and larger scale than we are aware.

A comprehensive methamphetamine test room-by-room from a reputable company will show levels of residual methamphetamine and the precursors associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine.

However the standard (1.5 micrograms per 100cm2) has become the level deemed safe to occupy for any presence of methamphetamine, including residual.

Finally someone has asked the question as to the health effects of being exposed to low levels of residual methamphetamine on a surface of property. As there is no gas or fumes, the only way is by ingesting or handling via skin contact. We can assume the risks are low, however the health effects are unknown.

micrograms per 100cm2 and samples of the children’s hair contained alarming levels of methamphetamine as a result of residual environmental methamphetamine contamination.

I do hope this move in the standards

will create healthy debate based on science and logic and I invite landlords and property owners to form their own opinion and manage the risks. P is for prevention and please bear in mind this question – would you live in a property with methamphetamine residue of any level?

In my opinion it is irresponsible of Housing New Zealand to raise the level for occupancy of their properties without accurate studies of the health effects and they will obviously benefit financially by doing so, freeing up several hundred state houses currently awaiting decontamination from residual methamphetamine.

Housing New Zealand’s zero tolerance to drug use and rigorous testing sent out a clear message to tenants that it will not be tolerated. However, now only decontaminating the properties with high drug use is surely a backward step and will potentially put vulnerable families at risk by occupying un-remediated homes.

A recent study in Australia, where the level is and remains at 0.5 micrograms per 100cm2, shows a family unknowingly occupied a property contaminated with methamphetamine levels of 11.7 to 26.0

REAL ESTATE AGENT?

Choosing a real estate agent is a bit like finding a business partner.

You need to be able to trust them with your life – or at least your largest financial asset – and that means going on more than just gut feel that they will be able to do a good job.

5.29

%

Some agents work in partnership with another licensee or a team of other agents. Before you sign the agreement, check whether the agent who has listed your property will be the one you will work with or whether a member of their team will be your point of contact.

If you are uncomfortable having this conversation directly, Lampen-Smith suggests that you discuss your issues with the manager of the agency the agent belongs to. Agency agreements are usually between yourself and the agency, not the individual agent, so the manager may be able to assign a different agent from the agency to work with you.

If you’re still unhappy after trying these avenues, your agency agreement will contain information on how you can cancel it. If you do decide that you want to cancel the agency agreement, the REA recommends that you get advice from your lawyer first.

“If you have a sole agency agreement, you might not be able to cancel the agreement early unless the agency agrees,” LampenSmith says.

“Make sure to get their agreement in writing. Sole agency agreements give the agency the exclusive right to market and sell

“An agency agreement is a legal contract that sets out, for example, how the agent or agency will market and sell your property, what commission is expected to be paid and for how long you are contracting them for. By signing it, the agent is agreeing to act in your best interest. They can’t, unless required to by law, do anything that you don’t want them to do, and they have to keep you up-to-date and informed about all the relevant matters relating to the sale of your property,” Lampen-Smith says.

“Outline your concerns and ask them to explain how they can deal with them. It’s far better to endure 10 minutes of potential awkwardness than years of disappointment.”

P.A.

“Either way, your working relationship with them is defined by the agency agreement that you and the agent signed at the start of this process,” explains Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate Authority (REA).

“If you’re not happy with your agent’s performance to date, it’s best to sit down and have a chat with them,” Lampen-Smith says.

When you’re selling a property, the agent is working for you.

They won’t be paid for their work unless they successfully sell your property and receive the commission that you’ve agreed on in the agency agreement. In other words, it’s in their best interests to do a good job.

So, if the agent decides that your property is best served by a series of open homes held on Thursday nights, they need to explain to you why this is the case. If, in the course of holding these open homes, they discover that no one wants to visit properties at that time of night, they need to discuss this with you and seek your approval for a new course of action.

your property. If the agency has already done work that helps to sell the property (such as introducing a prospective buyer who subsequently goes on to purchase it), you may still have to pay them a commission. Make sure you check with your new agency about the risk of paying two commissions.”

If you have signed a sole agency agreement that is for a term of more than 90 days, the REA says that you or the agent can end the sole agency agreement after 90 days. Again, this must be done in writing. In some agreements, the sole agency agreement becomes a general agency agreement on cancellation. If this is the case, you will also need to cancel the general agency agreement if you don’t wish to continue working with the agency.

“Another option may be to withdraw your property from the market until the agency agreement term is up,” Lampen-Smith says.

You can then list it again at a later date with a new agency.

However depending on the contractual terms with your first agency you may be responsible for certain costs.

If you do decide to list with a new agent, make sure to take care with choosing your agent the second time around.

LDV is now a Kiwi favourite T

he 2018 LDV G10 van range illustrates that the Chinese automakers have caught up to the rest of the world, because here is an attractive-looking, wellengineered and fit-for-purpose workhorse with a competitive line up of price points as well as the choice of two petrol engines, one diesel engine and two transmission options for Kiwi buyers.

LDV’s parent company is SAIC Motor which owns the MG, Roewe, and LDV (Maxus) brands and has a long history of joint venture manufacturing operations with Iveco, Volkswagen and General Motors.

It has now assumed the role of the favourite Kiwi tool of trade van.

SAIC Motor are also very proud of the fact that Lotus had a hand in tuning the Van’s suspension, and the six-speed automatic transmission is supplied by German manufacturer ZF. While it is not afraid of working hard, the G10 Cargo is no basic unit, it offers drivers and fleet owners a high level of comfort and safety as well as competitive carrying and towing capacity which is needed in a modern tool of trade vehicle.

The automatic petrol model has a 165kW / 330Nm 2-litre turbocharged engine which is almost verging on the ridiculous for such a commercial vehicle, it is safe to say this variant is anything but underpowered.

The cabin of the G10 Cargo has seating

Rumours of my demise ...

L ast year, one of the world’s most genuinely fearsome creatures – the Dodge Viper – kicked the bucket. Had a great fall. Died.

Ceased to continue to exist.

Reasons for its death ranged from it failing to meet revised safety measures to the closure of its dedicated assembly plant.

But, few could deny that the writing had been on the wall for the American supercar.

The Viper’s certainly got a long history of trying to die, given that each big revamp has come off the back of a long campaign of silence and doubt. But, it appeared for all money that this 2017 ‘death’ was the absolute final nail in the coffin.

But, maybe not, according to new reports.

Several publications in America, including Car and Driver, are reporting that a new model of Viper is in the works and expected to launched in late 2020.

Not much is revealed in terms of concrete details, but C&D is adamant that a new variant of the American classic is on its way to Dodge showrooms. They outline that the

model will use a space-frame platform like its predecessor, and it’ll continue to feature the Viper’s signature long front bonnet.

What’s under that bonnet is reported to change, however, with the V10 of old downsized to an aluminium-block V8 (a first for Chrysler and their love of the Hemi).

Power is expected to be in the realm of 410kW at the base level, with fruitier cars said to be offered later on with a 522kW V8.

The publication also cite the 2019 Detroit Auto Show as the most likely debut event for the Viper – given it will be the 30th anniversary of its grand debut in 1989.

So, why dust off a Viper?

Especially with

Fiat Chrysler seemingly on struggle street at the moment.

Well, you only need to look at what Ford have done with the GT, and what Chevrolet is currently doing with the Corvette.

The latter has grown in recent generations into quite the world beater; peaking with the current C7 Corvette.

And for its next generation, it’s again muscling in on new territory.

The engine is moving from between the front wheels to being mid-mounted – plunging the Corvette into a whole new

group of rivals, where effectively the Viper would have resided.

It would also fill a proper ‘halo car’– void in Dodge’s performance car division alongside the Dodge Demon and Hellcat drag-strip killers.

Car and Driver seem certain that a new Viper is coming, but no real evidence has been sourced to support the case.

There have been stories in the past of projects like these being released via a controlled leak into the media, and maybe this is one of those instances.

But for the rest of us, time will tell.

TEST DRIVE TODAY.

he refreshed Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé and Cabriolet are now on sale.

Like the new C-Class Saloon and Estate, the Coupé and Cabriolet are now available with an optional 12.3-inch digital cockpit display – giving the interior an even more modern and luxurious feel. Combined with a new range engines, the Coupé and Cabriolet continue to bring a sporty edge to the C-Class range.

The C 200 features a 1.5-litre petrol engine with EQ Boost, available in either rear-wheel or – for the coupé only – 4MATIC all-wheel-drive which produces 184 hp and 280 Nm. EQ Boost uses a 48-volt onboard network with a belt-driven starter/alternator – the system adds 14 hp to the car’s overall output. It can achieve up to 46.3 mpg and emits 140 g/km of CO2 on its standard 18-inch wheels (4MATIC: 42.8 mpg and 150 g/km; Cabriolet: 44.1 mpg and 145 g/km).

The C 220 d uses a new 2.0-litre diesel engine with an output of 194 hp and 400 Nm of torque, while emitting 121 g/km of CO2 (depending on wheel size) and achieving up to 61.4 mpg. The Cabriolet can achieve up to 58.9 mpg and emits 126 g/km.

The C 300 has a 2.0-litre petrol engine which generates 254 hp and 370 Nm of torque.

It can travel from 0 to 62 mph in six seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph.

CO2 emissions start at 147 g/km and it can achieve up to 44.1 mpg on the combined cycle.

Available only in the Coupé – the C 300 Cabriolet will join the range later in the year.

The AMG C 43 4MATIC uses a 3.0-litre biturbo V6 petrol engine with an increased output of 390 hp (+23) and 520 Nm (+44).

It can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds – 4.8 for the Cabriolet – and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

The Coupé can achieve up to 29.7

mpg and emits 217 g/km, while the Cabriolet delivers 29.1 mpg and emits 223 g/km.

Leather jacket remains iconic

U

nited by a genuine passion for the heroic years when motorcycling really began, Dainese Settantadue and The Bike Shed are coming together to celebrate the industry’s most exclusive event this year in London.

“The Bike Shed London is the perfect platform for sharing authentic pieces of history and tales of true heroes on two wheels,” says Cristiano Silei, CEO of the Dainese Group.

“The unique atmosphere of the Tobacco Dock makes the Dainese journey of discovery all the more immersive.”

“We are extremely proud to have Dainese Settantadue as the co-headline sponsor of The Bike Shed 2018,” confirms Anthony “Dutch” Van Someren, founder of The Bike Shed.

“Our brands set themselves the same goal of giving customers and fans the best possible experience and the very best products, without compromise.

“The Bike Shed and Dainese Settantadue share a passion for motorbikes and for motorcycling culture.”

This is the first time that Dainese Settantadue has appeared at The Bike Shed London.

The brand draws authentic inspiration from the history of motorcycling

clothing, that of the heroic years, offering garments that combine exclusive yet never nostalgic elegance with technical solutions that are able to satisfy the very highest safety standards.

The star of the first Dainese Settantadue collection is the leather jacket, a garment that unites generations of motorcycle lovers and never goes out of fashion.

The three lines are called Archetypes, Speed Leather and Demon Flower.

All created with meticulous attention to detail, they are inspired by the icons of the past. Archetypes takes cult products like the bomber jacket, the classic leather jacket loved by bikers, rockers and 60s70s travellers alike, and brings them up to date. Speed Leather, meanwhile, features jackets such as Toga72, Rapida72 and Freccia72, which are openly inspired by the racing suits that Dainese used to produce when the company first set out on its journey.

Over the weekend of May 26–27, motorcycling enthusiasts can discover the entire collection in the exclusive Great Gallery in London. Giacomo Agostini, motorcycling legend and honorary member of the Dainese and AGV family from the outset, will be there to celebrate Dainese Settantadue’s premiere at The Bike Shed.

Journeys, destinations

S

ometimes it’s all about the journey.

Other times it’s all about the destination.

On a recent Farm Forestry Fieldday expedition it was all about both.

The group ventured into South Canterbury and the drive to the meeting point at Arundel on a cool clear fresh Mid Canterbury morning on which the countryside and the Alps looked magnificent was superb.

The Fieldday began with a tour of a wood chipping plant which supplies huge quantities of their product to a variety of customers, including at least one hospital which uses chips as an environmentally friendly alternative to fuel its boilers.

As with many similar enterprises it’s interesting to find out a business of this magnitude operates in a small rural location.

From Arundel we proceeded along with our guide John Acland to Peel Forest village.

The original intention was to visit the local hall, however on the day it was the base for a bicycle race which had attracted a large number of competitors and supporters, so we had to give that a miss.

It was certainly busy in downtown Peel Forest!

The Peel Forest hall had been included in the itinerary because its interior features some outstanding timber.

John Acland surprised at least some of us when he said the timber is Canadian hemlock, which he went on to explain had

Bernard Egan MOTORING

been imported into Timaru by a builder whose business ceased at just the right time for the hall committee to acquire it.

For those of us used to associating hemlock and especially root of hemlock with deadly concoctions described so eloquently by Shakespeare in his tragedies, it was interesting to hear a species of the plant grows into a tree.

We were able to visit Saint Stephen’s Church in Peel Forest Village, a delightful place of worship in which the original woodwork is a feature.

After that the journey continued to a lunch stop at picnic spot surrounded by magnificent native bush.

During a leisurely lunch John Acland regaled us with some of the history of Peel Forest and the arrival of his ancestors in 1856 and their settlement in the area.

After a perilous crossing of the Rangitata River it took the original settlers several years using meagre tools to forge their way through dense native bush to the present day site of Mount Peel Station.

The stories are of a family who overcame incredible hardships and challenges to

settle, develop and survive on their property, on which has been in the continuous ownership of the family ever since.

After lunch our destination was the Church of the Holy Innocents built on land donated by the Acland family.

Constructed using stone, the church sustained damage in the September 2010 earthquake.

Thanks to the determination of those who care for it the church has been strengthened and restored.

Today it’s hard to see that the church was damaged, which is testament to the determination of those so keen to protect and preserve it and the skill of the craftsman who did the work.

Many Acland ancestors, family members and others associated with Mount Peel Station have been laid to rest in the churchyard.

A small river stone marks the grave of a man unknown who drowned in the Rangitata River in the mid-1860s.

Maybe somewhere in the world some-

“

one researching a family tree has wondered where that man ended up, it’s good to know his simple headstone is preserved and he along with all interned at in the churchyard are resting in a peaceful place.

The remains of internationally renowned crime writer Dame Ngaio Marsh are also interred there.

Dame Ngaio was a friend of the Acland family and often sought technical advice from Sir Hugh Acland, who was a distinguished surgeon.

One at least one occasion he provided the only possible method which a murderer could use to dispose of a victim!

The Farm Forestry Fieldday was a reminder of the incredible history which is right here on our doorstep.

And being among some magnificent trees was a reminder of their value both for harvest and for shelter.

The drive there was great, so was the trip home and the destinations were awesome.

Proof it can be about both the journey and the destination.

The stories are of a family who overcame incredible hardships and challenges to settle, develop and survive on their property

cLaren Automotive this week celebrated the manufacture of its 15,000th car at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) in Woking, Surrey, just seven years after production first began.

The 15,000th car, a 570S Spider in Curacao Blue from the company’s Sports Series family, represents a further significant milestone for the British sportscar and supercar brand, and comes less than 18 months after the 10,000th car was completed in December 2016.

The introduction of a second production shift in 2016 to meet rising global demand for McLaren vehicles has seen production double from around 10 cars a day to 20, with over 90 per cent of vehicles built in Woking exported to more than 30 markets around the world.

Around two-thirds of the marque’s sales in 2017 came from the Sports Series and one-third from the Super Series.

A new Ultimate Series model, the McLaren Senna, has recently entered production and the first of just 500 customer cars will shortly be completed.

In 2017, 33 brand new McLarens were registered in New Zealand according to Motor Institute Association data, outselling Ferrari and Lamborghini in Bruce McLaren’s homeland.

In the first four months of 2018, 14 new McLarens have been registered.

schnitzels. Coat each one in flour, dip in the egg mixture and then coat with the panko crumbs. Repeat with the other schnitzels.

Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help the egg set.

■ Heat 1cm of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add the schnitzels a couple at a time and cook until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm in the oven until serving.

■ Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat.

Add the flour and garlic and cook, stirring for a few minutes until pale and frothy (not brown). Remove from the heat and slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the time to avoid lumps. Replace over a medium heat and simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Add the cheese and mustard and simmer for a few minutes until melted and smooth. Season to taste and keep warm.

■ Drizzle the schnitzels with the sauce, sprinkle with chives and add a squeeze of lemon, and serve with your choice of steamed seasonal vegetables or salad.

OUR VIEW

Just get it done – don’t over consult W

Surely it defeats the purpose in some senses.

If we are going to take everything out to the public to consult on and allow them the option of putting forward their opinions, suggestions and complaints – then isn’t the role of councillor being made, in some ways, defunct?

Some might suggest it could be better to have hired professionals in a role where they decide what needs to be sent out for

consultation and then act on it according to public opinion.

If 80 per cent of the community is agreed that we need a climbing wall at the EA Networks Centre, then that’s what shall happen and if 40 per cent of people want us to have a second urban bridge, then tough luck – majority rules.

If that was the case then a climbing wall wouldn’t be being installed at the EA Networks Centre though, we’d instead being spending all our spare time going up and down the hydroslide which was so heavily desired by the community.

It would certainly save a lot of time, energy and, most importantly, money.

There’s no doubt that submissions are a good way of getting

as much information as possible in order to make a decision, but if the majority rules then why should we have to look into it further.

There’s a budget, it has to be adhered to, for sure.

But if the community wants it by an overwhelming margin, then that’s what should be happening.

There just seems to be too many instances lately, and not just in local government, but across the board where a decision can’t be made without wanting the input of a whole variance of different groups and specialists.

Time is of the essence, we are all only here for a relatively short amount of time in the big scheme of things.

We vote to put people into positions to make these decisions for us.

And we put them there because we trust them to do what’s best for the community without having to go through all this consultation.

In most cases it works well. But do we really need to be consulted on whether or not it’s a good idea to improve the quality of our water – and how it should be funded?

Water is a necessity of life.

Without good quality drinkable water available, life becomes pretty hard so surely the answer is a no-brainer.

Just get it done, particularly with things so critical as something we use every day of our lives.

e are lucky we live in a democracy where we have our chance to have

a say.

But at what point is it too much?

Maybe it’s because we are in the midst of the submission stage of the council’s long-term plan, which will shape this district for the next 10 years, but there seems to be more and more stalling of plans and ideas while consultation or feedback is sought from individuals or groups.

We are always asked to make a submission on something. To write down our thoughts and ideas and then send them in for people who are elected to make these decisions, to do the very thing they are elected for.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, June 1, the 152nd day of 2018. There are 213 days left in the year.

Today’s highlights in history: On June 1, 1968, author-lecturer Helen Keller, who earned a college degree despite being blind and deaf almost her entire life, died in Westport, Connecticut, at age 87.

On this date: In 1533, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was crowned as Queen Consort of England.

In 1927, Lizzie Borden, accused but acquitted of the 1892 axe murders of her father, Andrew, and her stepmother, Abby, died in Fall River, Massachusetts, at age 66.

In 1943, a civilian flight from Portugal to England was shot down by Germany during World War Two, killing all 17 people aboard, including actor Leslie Howard.

In 1958, Charles de Gaulle became premier of France, marking the beginning of the end of the Fourth Republic.

In 1977, the Soviet Union formally charged Jewish human rights activist Anatoly Shcharansky with treason. (Shcharansky was imprisoned, then released in 1986; he’s now known as Natan Sharansky.)

In 1997, Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X, was severely burned in a fire set by her 12-year-old grandson in her Yonkers, New York, apartment (she died three weeks later).

In 2009, Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330 carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean with the loss of everyone on board.

Ten years ago: Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton won a lopsided, but largely symbolic, victory in Puerto Rico’s presidential primary. NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander took its first practice scoop of Martian soil. Fashion

What a pain in the . . .

S

ometimes you see something on the telly or hear it on the radio and it really resonates with you.

A few weeks ago I had one of those moments.

A chap with constant back pain was talking on the radio about it being like a black cloud hanging over him.

Boy did that hit home with me.

I have had a crook back for months. It was exactly like that, a black cloud hanging over me constantly.

It was getting that bad that I was not enjoying twilight golf.

That is saying something because I love twilight golf!

After Manda suggested I visit the doctor (for the 287th time she says), I agreed and popped along.

Cutting a long story short, x-rays revealed a small pressure fracture, that the doc said would “come right” and some signs of arthritis.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Oh great! I’ve already got some in my fingers, especially the right pointer, which is swollen and crooked. I munted it when dropping a gooba in the outfield against South Canterbury a few years ago and it’s never come right.

So I was a bit down about the back and thought I was just going to have to put up with waking in the middle of the night because of the ache and each swing of the club hurting just enough (especially for a blouse like me) to affect my game.

The doc said it was important to keep exercising and dropping a few pounds wouldn’t hurt

either. Trouble was most of the exercise I was doing was hurting the back. Vicious circle!

It was about that time that two little miracles landed in my lap. The first was a round of golf with Jason Mactier. I was having a whinge to him about my back when he said he had had trouble with his in the past.

He showed me some really good back stretches, that helped him and a bloke he knew with arthritis issues as well.

We must have looked a bit weird, middle of the number 1 fairway, him on all fours showing me one of his stretches. I think that one was called the ‘whopper stretch’.

The following day I read that prolonged sitting can cause back issues as well. Duh! What was I doing each weekday from 4am to 9am. Sitting on my chuff and bashing my gums. My posture was rubbish as well, hunched over the desk.

So now I stand up while doing my brekkie show and throw in the odd ‘whopper stretch’ during a song as well.

My back is so much better! Yes, there is still an ache especially in the morning after mountain biking or squash, but it is nowhere near as bad as it was.

So the black cloud is now white and fluffy with some big patches of blue sky.

Now all I need to do is come up with some excuses for not keeping up with my brothers-inlaw on the river track or knocking another one out of bounds.

■ TWO DEGREES

In brief

Massive lift in profit line Telecommunications provider Two Degrees Mobile lifted net profit 33 per cent in 2017, with revenue gains outpacing costs and the bottom line boosted by tax credits.

Net profit rose to $19 million in the year ended December 31, from $14.3m in 2016, on a 4.3 per cent revenue gain to $732.7m.

Expenses excluding finance costs rose 4.1 per cent to $665.4m, while the company cut finance costs 10.5 per cent to $25.8m in the year.

Two Degrees benefited from a $1.5m income tax credit in 2017, compared to a $4m credit a year earlier when it posted its first profit.

Between establishment in 2009 and the end of 2015, the company clocked up accumulated losses of $396.8m as it invested heavily in a national mobile network and moved into fixed line telephone and broadband services to allow it to compete across the full range of telecommunications services.

By the end of 2017, its 4G coverage reached 96 per cent of the pop-

ulation, up from 79 per cent in the prior year, the company said.

“The results for 2017 were impacted by the introduction of a new business support system in February 2017,” a spokesperson said.

“This created service challenges that impacted sales activity and subsequent revenue growth.

“The situation has since been resolved.”

The company reported a $2.3m gain on foreign exchange rate movements in the year, up from $862,000 in 2016.

Major shareholder Trilogy International Partners, a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company which owns 73.2 per cent of Two Degrees, said in a first-quarter release published on May 5 that the business added 5100 net postpaid subscribers as at March 31, lifting numbers to 401,200.

Trilogy also said Two Degrees’ revenue rose 14 per cent in the first quarter of 2018, driven by advertising to sell more handsets and higher-priced, new models.

A creditor of one of New Zealand’s biggest construction companies is angry about businesses going into receivership but the builder’s chief has hit back and defended the process. The creditor, who did not want to be named for fear he would not continue to win work, said he was owed more than $10,000 by one of the Orange H Group, previously Hawkins which was New Zealand’s second-largest builder.

The creditor’s company worked on Hawkins jobs in Auckland and Christchurch and he is concerned he will not be paid.

Meccano $5m in debt Creditors of failed menswear retailer Meccano are likely to be more than $5 million out-of-pocket after liquidators revealed the company has debts of $5.8m but assets of $490,000. Workers, too, look likely to miss out. Meccano faced financial difficulties, including costly leases, with only three months of profitable trading after De Vere Investments purchased and took over the business in February 2016, the liquidators’ report says. Westpac will receive a chunk of the $588,000 it is owed but $89,000 owed to workers and $90,000 Inland Revenue will likely not be paid. - NZME

Intensified political tensions

O

n the global front geopolitical tensions have dominated markets this week, while locally we have been focused on the reporting season as well as a number of important data points.

Italy’s political instability has been the cause of much of the volatility in markets recently. This week things intensified as the coalition between the two populist parties hit a stumbling block when President Sergio Mattarella vetoed the choice of Minister for the economy as he is a vocal Eurosceptic and would jeopardise Italy’s place in the Eurozone.

A caretaker Prime Minister, Carlo Cottarelli who worked in the International Monetary Fund, has been appointed to ensure a budget is approved however, it is thought that the cabinet he has assembled is unlikely to be approved.

Later in the week, it appears that the two populist parties have decided to try again to form a government, with the League’s leader Matteo Salvini gaining in popularity.

It is certainly something to keep on our radars over the coming months and remains a threat to the Eurozone, with Italians registering the lowest satisfaction with the currency and trade union.

In yet another tale of political instability from Europe, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is facing a vote of no confidence at the end of the week among cries of corruption.

Opposition leader Pedro Sanchez and his Socialist party

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

are pushing for the vote and it seems to be gaining in momentum. If successful, Sanchez will take the helm of the nation and it will mean the end of six years of centre-right rule.

It is another wait and see moment for Europe and the EU. There has been further development on the Trump front this week, with the US confirming that they still intend to impose trade tariffs on Chinese imports over the use of US intellectual property.

The move was unexpected after there appeared to be a mutual understanding between the two countries that any trade war would be put on hold while negotiations took place.

In another about face, the US North Korean Summit appears to be back on despite being called off last week.

There have been plenty of meetings between the two sides to try and keep the summit alive and appears to be back on track, at this stage.

The key driver for the local market over the last couple of weeks has been reporting season.

The May reporting season, although much quieter than the February one, sees results from some of our largest companies.

Mainfreight has been one of

the key results from this week, reporting its full year results for 2018.

The company celebrated its 50th year with another record result. The company announced a 26 cents share final dividend, in line with expectations. The New Zealand business was again the strongest performer, offsetting slightly weaker than expected contributions from Europe and Australia, while the US business had a strong second half for the year.

Management didn’t give any specifics for FY19 however the overall outlook commentary was positive.

The company was rewarded with share price gains, rising 1.2 per cent the day of the result.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare was another key result for the week.

The company saw strong growth in its hospitals division however saw a continued slowdown of growth in the OSA mask division due to increasing competition.

FPH has developed a new mask which is thought to hit markets late in FY19. The company’s share price slipped following the result.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Financial stability review showed that the dairy industry is one of the key areas of concern.

Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

In brief

■ HARNESS JEWELS

‘I hope they go nuts up front’

By Michael Guerin Steven Reid is hoping for a nasty Harness Jewels on Saturday.

Like aggressive nasty.

Drivers getting stuck into each other out on the track, unfriending each other on Facebook the next day, food fight in the driver’s room-type nasty.

That might be hoping for a bit much but it might be then, and only then, Pukekohe trainer Reid has a shot at a Harness Jewels double.

There is no doubt both Reid’s four-year-old Star Galleria (Emerald) and Utmost Delight (Diamond) are good enough to win their $150,000 divisions.

In fact, give them the appropriate front line draws and they could be close to good things, definitely warm favourites.

But the problem for both is both Star Galleria and Utmost Delight have drawn wide on the second line in their mobile miles, often the kiss of death at Cambridge.

Unless of course Saturday’s races are run upside down, with super fast sectionals early, making rare swoopers victories a reality.

If that dream scenario unfolds Reid is adamant he has the horsepower to take advantage.

“I need them to go hard in both my races or maybe we can’t win, it could be that simple,” admits Reid.

“Mile racing at Cambridge can be hard enough but if you have to come wide and they run home (800m) in 55 seconds it can be impossible.

“But looking at the fields I think we have a chance because they could be really hard run races.”

Reid has a point as both fouryear-old pacing dashes lack a dominant favourite to lead and deter attackers and they also have enough gate speed and form

Ashburton Guardian 31

Time out for Waddell Talented Cambridge jockey Jason Waddell won’t be riding again until the new season. He is taking an extended break following the loss of his mother, which was subsequently compounded by his own ill-health. “I’ve been struggling to grieve for my Mum and I had health issues and I wasn’t too good after the Derby,” he said. “I didn’t want to let anybody down so it was best to take a step away.” - NZME

Query over track A drying Wanganui track and the prospect of a holding surface is trainer Andrew Forsman’s main reservation with talented mare Tomelilla as she prepares for a shot at successive stakes wins tomorrow.

Fine weather has seen the Wanganui track improve to a heavy 10 rating and further improvement seems likely with no rain forecast before Saturday’s Listed Ag Challenge Stakes. Tomelilla secured her first stakes win in the Rotorua Stakes three weeks ago on a testing heavy 11 track.

- NZME

Plum ride for McDonald

Star Galleria is a top hope for Steven Reid in the Four-Year-Old Emerald at the Jewels. doubts spread across the front line to suggest early fireworks.

Take Star Galleria’s race.

If key rival Eamon Maguire was drawn to lead the race could be as good as over, with very little likelihood of attack.

Instead, he has drawn the second line and Reid hopes driver Zac Butcher can turn his rival into an ally.

“I am hoping Zac can get straight on his (Eamon Maguire’s) back and get a cart into the race, either early or late.”

If that happens Reid knows his rep has the raw speed to capitalise, with Star Galleria brilliant at Alexandra Park last Friday while

he has already claimed some serious open class scalps this season, including Heaven Rocks when he led and won the Flying Mile on this track in January.

“He is right back to his best but that tempo is crucial.

“I hope they go nuts up front.”

Utmost Delight looks one of the few horses all day who can come wide and win, being a group one winning mare who looks at her peak in a race where some key rivals have form or barrier draw (Bonnie Joan) concerns.

“She has needed her last two runs to bring her back to her peak, which often my horses do.

“But she was great last Friday

night and has really come on with it this week.

There looks to be some speed and some aggressive drivers in her race so again, we need that early burn.

“If we get that and she gets the right three-wide cart into the race I know she can win.”

As good as Utmost Delight is she has got into very tight odds at $3.50 for a mare with her draw and punters will almost certainly be better waiting to back either of Reid’s pair on the day or on the tote.

Wait, and then hope for some good old fashioned aggression.

■ PHAR LAP RACEWAY

Guessing game with new recruit

Ballybay will have Kylie Williams aboard today.

Michael Daly is certain Ballybay will give a good sight at the Phar Lap Raceway today, but he’s unsure for how long.

The Washdyke trainer has recently taken charge of the former North Island sprinter and will know a lot more about the Sandtrap gelding after his southern debut in the Supreme Equine Feeds Handicap (1200m).

“He’s an unusual horse – he’s won seven races and they’ve all been over 1000m,” Daly said.

“The 1200m is the question mark.

“I’ve only had him a fortnight so we’re still learning, but I expect the pace to be on and he’ll be up there.

“We’ll just have to see how he copes in the last furlong (200m).

Formerly trained at Woodville

by Shane Brown, Ballybay hasn’t

raced since he tailed the field home in an open handicap at New Plymouth earlier this month.

“He has settled in well here and had a good blow after he galloped on Tuesday,” Daly said.

“I’m pleased with him, but he can be a bit temperamental and he’s a funny horse to ride – you can’t argue with him, he just gets his head up so you have to go with him.”

Ballybay will be partnered by the experienced Kylie Williams and they will jump from barrier seven.

“He doesn’t like being among other horses, apparently, and he’s got a good draw so he should be able to end up on the outside,” Daly said.

“He doesn’t like really heavy ground so he’s going to get a track to suit him as well.”

- NZME

Kiwi jockey James McDonald has been booked for a Group One ride at the upcoming Royal Ascot festival. The Sydney-based jockey will be aboard the Charlie Hillstrained last-start winner Equilateral in the Commonwealth Cup (1200m).

“James is going to come over for Royal Ascot and maybe for a couple of days before as well,” Hills said. “Equilateral is one he can ride and I’ll see what else I can find, but if the word’s out other trainers might want to use him as well.” - NZME

Big money for Diademe Former top galloper Diademe has again made an impact in the sale ring. The Savabeel mare, who has been served by Vancouver, was sold for $1.7 million at the Gold Coast on Wednesday to the China Horse Club. Diademe won the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes during her career with trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman and was subsequently sold for $740,000. Her first foal by Fastnet Rock realised $1 million at Karaka earlier this year.

- NZME

Peaceful gets the nod Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman is leaning towards Savabeel filly Peaceful as the stable’s top seed for Sunday’s Listed Ssangyong Auckland Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Te Rapa. Forsman and training partner Murray Baker will produce Peaceful and stablemate Ole Ole in the two-year-old feature that has been supplemented to the Auckland Racing Club meeting after the abandonment of Pukekohe. “Ole Ole really needed the race to be run at Pukekohe last week on the testing track,” Forsman said. - NZME

Horses all good to run A failed drug test by a now former staff member of New Zealand’s biggest racing stable was behind the shut down of TAB markets for Saturday’s Harness Jewels meeting. But both the trainers involved and racing officials expect all 10 horses who were drug tested yesterday for fears of contamination will be cleared to start at the prestigious $1,275,000 meeting.

In brief Johnson on the mend The Warriors have confirmed star halfback Shaun Johnson will return from a three-game injury layoff in their next clash against Manly in Christchurch on June 9. The 27-yearold has missed the Warriors’ last three matches against the Sydney Roosters, Parramatta and South Sydney after suffering an ankle injury in their round nine win over Wests. Johnson’s return will boost the Stephen Kearney-coached side who have suffered three big losses in their past five games.

Rabbitohs miss stars South Sydney risk sliding out of the top four as the foundation club faces its equal-biggest Origin talent drain during tonight’s NRL clash with Cronulla. What should be a blockbuster top four clash will be diminished by the absence of some of the Rabbitohs’ biggest stars and makes a compelling case for State of Origin to be held on stand-alone weekends. The Rabbitohs will be without skipper Greg Inglis, Dane Gagai, Angus Crichton and Damien Cook at ANZ Stadium, while the Sharks will be missing Valentine Holmes. - AAP

Pulse set the pace

Wakanui’s Sam Moore will captain Mid Canterbury at this weekend’s Ian Smith Trophy tournament in Cromwell.

Trophy on the line

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A strong start will be vital for Mid Canterbury if they’re to have a shot at winning hockey’s Ian Smith Trophy in Cromwell this weekend.

But they know they’ll have their work cut out for them.

Mid Canterbury – which is a team largely made up of members of Mid Canterbury’s sole team in the Mid/South Canterbury senior men’s competition, Wakanui – have drawn a tough beginning to the three-day tournament.

When the tournament gets

under way tomorrow they’ll face games against defending champions Eastern Southland in the morning, before taking on the Invercargill representatives in the afternoon.

Mid Canterbury captain Sam Moore said both teams will be tough opposition, but it all comes down to performances on the day.

“They’re two reasonably tough teams, so if we get over the line against those guys we will be pretty well set,” Moore said.

The Ian Smith Trophy tournament is held every Queen’s Birthday Weekend and sees six

associations – Mid Canterbury, North Otago, South Canterbury, Eastern Southland, Central Otago and Invercargill – battle it out for the end prize.

Moore said it’s about five or six years since Mid Canterbury last won the Ian Smith Trophy, with that last win coming the last time the tournament was held in Cromwell.

Last year, Mid Canterbury struggled and finished fifth, with Eastern Southland taking out the title.

“We drew with South Canterbury on the last day, which stopped us from getting last, but

it also stopped them from winning, so we counted that as a win,” Moore said.

This year’s tournament is the 63rd time the Ian Smith Trophy has been contested, and Moore and his team would love to see Mid Canterbury’s name etched come Monday.

They know their chances will be determined by their first two games though.

“Because the core of the Wakanui team will be going along, we should be ok, but if we don’t get a win on Saturday it’ll make life pretty tough for us,” Moore said.

Underhand serve back in the spotlight A young American player tried an underhand serve while cramping during a five-setter at the French Open.

Hmm. Seen that before, haven’t we?

Except there was one key difference this time: For 21-yearold Jared Donaldson against No. 4-seed Grigor Dimitrov, unlike for 17-year-old – and eventual tournament champion – Michael

Chang against Ivan Lendl in 1989, the unorthodox strategy didn’t come in a victory.

Dimitrov came back to beat the 57th-ranked Donaldson 6-7 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 in a secondround match that lasted 4 hours, 19 minutes on the new Court 18 at Roland Garros.

The most memorable aspect was Donaldson’s two unusual service motions; he won the

point the first time, but not the other.

“I would never try it if I was feeling 100 per cent and stuff,” said Donaldson, who could barely move by the end because of painful cramps in his legs.

“But obviously Grigor was playing so far back on the return that I felt like, ‘You know, maybe it’s just something that I’ll try.’ He obviously wasn’t expecting it, you

know what I mean? It’s kind of a cheeky way to get a point.”

Dimitrov was not angered by the tactic.

Quite the opposite, actually, shrugging his shoulders and conceding it was smart for Donaldson to try it.

“It was beautiful, right?” Dimitrov said. “He wanted to use something different to kind of try to put me off guard.”

The Central Pulse may have been the pre-season favourites, but no one could have predicted their astonishing start to this year’s ANZ Premiership. Winning 18 of 20 quarters so far this season, the Pulse have more than proved their worth and dominance on the Premiership stage.

In brief

■ RUGBY

U20s kick off in style The New Zealand under-20 rugby side have made a strong start to their World Cup campaign, thrashing Japan 67-0 in their opening game of the tournament in Narbonne, France.

New Zealand ran in 11 tries with wingers Leicester Faingaanuku and Jamie Spowat scoring five of them.

Spowat collected a second half hat-trick, scoring the third right on fulltime.

One of the highlights was centre Bailyn Sullivan running in an 80-metre try straight from the kick off midway through the first half.

Lock Will Tucker opened the scoring after 48 seconds before Faingaanuku added a second just three minutes later.

Fullback Vilimoni Koroi scored New Zeland’s third in the 10th minute and after a Kaleb Trask conversion, the Baby Blacks were out to a 17-0 lead.

The tries kept coming as Faingaanuku cruised over for his second of the game in the 18th minute quickly followed Sullivan’s brilliant effort.

Trask added his third version to make it 31-0.

New Zealand skipper Tom Christie scored his side’s sixth

try just before the break.

The tries continued to flow in the second half with John Akau’ola-Laula, Xavier Roe and Spowat’s three.

New Zealand next face Wales on Monday morning.

In other games yesterday the 2012 champions South Africa had a narrow 33-27 win over Georgia while Italy snatched a late win over Scotland 27-26.

England beat Argentina 39-18, hosts France were too good for Ireland 26-24.

In the same group as New Zealand, Wales beat Australia 26-21. Will Tucker scored the opening - NZME try against Japan yesterday.

Whitelock out of Chiefs clash

By Patrick Mckendry The Crusaders and the All Blacks have been dealt a big blow with the news Sam Whitelock has been ruled out of his team’s match against the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday.

The experienced lock and new All Blacks captain now must be in doubt for the first test against France due to his concussion symptoms, although Crusaders coach Scott Robertson said Whitelock had improved significantly from a head knock suffered against the Waratahs nearly three weeks ago.

It means Whitelock will miss three matches before the All Blacks test at Eden Park a week on Saturday, a state of affairs that will not please coach Steve Hansen, who would have received a thorough breakdown of the issues from the player himself at the All Blacks training camp at the start of the week.

The 29-year-old Whitelock, who has played 96 tests, was on the sidelines in Christchurch as the All Blacks ran through their paces so it’s probably no surprise that he is missing another week.

In his absence against the Hurricanes last weekend, All Black Scott Barrett and Quinten Strange stood up for the red and blacks and the onus will go that pair again against an impressive Chiefs scrum.

To compound matters for the Crusaders and Hansen, midfielder Ryan Crotty will also miss the Chiefs match due to concussion. It will be the second match Crotty has missed due to the injury suffered against the Blues a fortnight ago.

Crotty’s injury could open the door at the All Blacks for the uncapped Jack Goodhue, but with Chiefs loose forward Sam Cane also lacking game time and likely to miss the crunch derby at Waikato Stadium, the All Blacks are beginning to look very light on experience.

“They weren’t quite ready so we’re giving them another week

Ashburton Guardian 35

McCaw, DC miss out Richie McCaw and Dan Carter are not among the five best modern day All Blacks, according to Springboks stalwart Francois Louw. When asked to pick his dream starting XV, the South African loosie did not select either McCaw or Carter.

Louw, who played 57 tests for the Boks, did, however, name five New Zealanders – Christian Cullen (fullback), Tana Umaga (secondfive), Carlos Spencer (first-five), Jerry Collins (flanker), and Carl Hayman (tighthead).

Twenty years ago ...

Twenty years ago this week the smart money was on the Blues to win the Super 12 crown for the third successive year when they met the Crusaders in the 1998 final. They had topped the qualifying roundrobin phase of the competition with nine wins from 11 games and their two losses were away from home in Natal and Brisbane. When Crusaders wing James Kerr – a draft player from Auckland – scored a late try to earn his side a 20-13 win, it caught many off guard. - NZME

Cavalry for Highlanders The Highlanders have welcomed back their big names for the Super Rugby derby against the Hurricanes in Dunedin tonight. Blindside flanker Liam Squire is set to make his first start since suffering a broken thumb against the Crusaders in March, while fellow All Blacks Ben Smith, Aaron Smith and Luke Whitelock also return after being rested in last week’s scrappy 18-15 win over the Reds in Brisbane.

The refreshed Highlanders have an intimidating look — boasting 10 current or past All Blacks — as they hope to maintain their perfect record at home.

- NZME

Rookie halves for Reds Queensland Reds coach Brad Thorn continues to surprise, thrusting a new young halves combination into tomorrow’s high-pressure showdown with the Waratahs. Electric halfback Moses Sorovi, 22, will make his starting debut alongside 20-yearold five eighth Hamish Stewart in the Suncorp Stadium match, when the Reds attempt to turn around a 37-16 thumping in their last meeting with the Australian conference leaders.

Bolter for Wallabies Matt Todd and George Bridge have been two of the stars for the Crusaders this season. to come right,” Robertson said of Whitelock and Crotty.

“It’s a week by week thing so we’ll see what happens next week.”

But, he said, the pair had gone through a “massive improvement. When you go through these processes it is a day to day thing and they’re great.

“Maybe if the game was on Sunday they could have been available so it’s that close.”

The good news for Robertson is that All Black loosehead prop Joe Moody will make a welcome return from his two-match suspension.

Like before the Hurricanes match which the Crusaders, against the odds given their absence of top personnel, won

24-13, Robertson is backing his squad.

“We’re not focusing on who we haven’t got in there but who we have got there … we trust our depth and every time we’ve given someone an opportunity they’ve taken it.”

More developments concern the move by loose forward Pete Samu, an Australian, to make himself available for the Wallabies after signing with the Brumbies next season.

Samu’s release is yet to be agreed by New Zealand Rugby, but Robertson said it was only a matter of time before he played for Australia.

“We’ll support New Zealand Rugby’s decision,” Robertson said.

PHOTO AP

“He’s going to be a Wallaby at some stage isn’t he?

“If that’s in June good on him … he’s an Australian who wants to play for Australia. He’s good enough to be a Wallaby.”

Asked whether Samu’s decision could count against him at the Crusaders, Robertson said: “He’s contracted to the Crusaders – if he plays well enough he’ll play.

“It’s not an issue at all – I think it’s just professional sport.”

Fortunately, the Crusaders have signed Whetu Douglas for two years as a replacement for Samu.

Douglas played six times for Robertson’s men last year and impressed hugely before having to honour a prior commitment with Italian club Treviso. - NMZE

One-time garbage man Brandon Paenga-Amosa was sitting in a Chinese restaurant on Wednesday night crying tears of joy. A text message alerted the Reds hooker of his Wallabies call up, with the 22-year-old now in the frame to start against world No.2 Ireland in Brisbane next Saturday. Michael Cheika’s decision to rest Tatafu Polota-Nau has left Paenga-Amosa in a battle with Jordan Uelese and Folau Fainga’a to play the threetest series.

- AAP

Brumbies won’t back down The Brumbies remain determined to have their best team available for Sunday’s Super Rugby match against the Sunwolves, despite the Wallabies asking them to withdraw three star players. The ACT franchise is prepared to do everything it can to have David Pocock, Scott Sio and Allan Alaalatoa available for the game at GIO Stadium. - AAP

Camp still confident

Mid Canterbury Combined will head back into Canterbury secondary school rugby’s UC Championship tomorrow fresh from a 10-day break.

It’s a break that came at the right time for the side, which is a combination of players from Ashburton College and Mt Hutt College.

Within the space of four days they suffered two massive losses; an 87-0 loss at the hands of Christ’s College and a 102-0 loss to Christchurch Boys’ High School.

That game against CBHS was brought forward to the Wednesday from the Saturday due to the Mt Hutt College ball on Friday night, and it turned out to be a good thing.

Playing Christ’s College and CBHS – two powerhouses of Canterbury schoolboy rugby – in such quick succession was always going to be difficult, but it also gave the young Mid Canterbury Combined side

time to regain their composure ahead of their next challenge.

That next challenge comes in the form of another combined side – Lincoln Combined – and while the Lincoln side is ahead on the points table thanks to two wins and two losses so far, Mid Canterbury coach Blair O’Donnell believes it’s a game his side is capable of winning.

O’Donnell knows his side has potential, but they have been plagued by injuries in the early stages of the competition, some of which will hopefully have had time to heal during the 10-day break.

Despite not having won a game Mid Canterbury Combined is not at the bottom of the points table. That spot is occupied

by Roncalli Combined, with Mid Canterbury Combined having two points to their name courtesy of bonus points from their opening two games of the competition.

Mid Canterbury will be away to Lincoln Combined in tomorrow’s fifth round of the UC Championship.

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, June 1, 2018

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The main determinant of today’s outcome will be your will. Your ability or inability to accomplish a thing is defined only by your inner determination to do so. If you want it badly enough, you’ll do what it takes.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Whining is the noise animals make to signal frustration, fear and distress.

The young human animal produces among the most annoying whines of all. But mature humans figure out a way, no complaints.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s the perfect combination inside your head. You have the ambition of an artist and the mindset of an engineer. From this space, you’re poised to do your best work.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Sometimes one size fits none.

The generic advice will be off -- not just for you but for everyone. Success starts with a strategy that fits your understanding of yourself.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Everyone’s mind is unique. Your experience will overlap with that of another, but it’s not the same. One of the best gifts we can give today is to listen to the details of an experience without comparing it to our own.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You are able to be very honest with yourself, and this is why today will be an important milestone. If your reason for not moving forward is really more of an excuse, you’ll figure out a way around it today.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s something you find odd about the mind: that you can have the most vivid show flashing on the screen inside your head and no one else can see it. Your intellectual airsign nature will be delightfully activated.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are experiences really beyond words... perhaps most experience is.

But if you try, with whatever words you have, you might be surprised at how it helps you process and appreciate what’s happened.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Through the ages, fearful, repressive societies have branded anyone different as “ill”. Communities are made stronger by diversity. We will be as strong as what we accept in ourselves and others.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Exercise is the panacea.

Moving your body, blood and breath will move your mood, emotions and destiny.

Exercise isn’t about comfort but the more you enjoy it, the more likely you’ll come back to it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The astronauts go so high they can see the whole of their country; then the home continent; then all of Earth.

Relatedly, the division between you and your love will dissolve as you rise higher above it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Each of your brain cells has the DNA to prove it’s yours. When you expand and change your mind, universes inside you do the same. There’s power in this.

“I’d like to see them do quite well and to finish in the top five would be awesome”

YOUNG GUNS HIT THE COURT

Poppy Kilworth looks to get a pass away during a practise game between the Mid Canterbury Under-15 As and Bs earlier this week.

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s two teams will have home court advantage when the EA Networks Centre plays host to the Netball Mainland Under-15 Championships this weekend.

The three-day tournament is a change in format from previous years.

In the past it was held over three weekends, but this year it’s all taking place over Queen’s Birthday Weekend in Ashburton’s indoor facility.

Mid Canterbury will have two teams in action, an A team and a B team, and coach of the Mid Canterbury A team Emma Silva said her young side is eyeing up a top five finish from the field of 25 teams from as far away as Hurunui and Nelson.

The Mid Canterbury U15 A side is in a pool consisting of Nelson U15 A, Christchurch Netball Centre (CNC) U15 Black and Nelson U14 A, while Mid Canterbury B has drawn a pool with South Canterbury U14 A, North Canterbury U14 Gold and Hurunui U15 A. “I’d like to see them do quite well and to finish in the top five would be awesome,” Silva said of her A side.

“I guess the thing for me is, I really don’t know what the other teams are going to be like, but from what I’ve heard the girls are quite excited about the pool that we have got.

“It would be ideal if we won those first three games, then we’ll have a better idea of where we’re at.”

McDonald gets plum Ascot ride P31

Silva is still relatively new to Mid Canterbury Netball but has coached age group netball teams in Christchurch in the past and she’s excited by the talent in the region she now calls home.

A total of 30 girls were picked to trial for Mid Canterbury and from that the A and B teams were chosen.

Among the players who will take to the court for Mid Canterbury this weekend are a couple who play in the top ACL premier one grade in Mid Canterbury on a Thursday night.

Silva said there’s great flexibility in her team in terms of players who can play both shoot and defence, or mid-court and defence.

“The biggest thing I enjoy about coaching

PHOTO ERIN TASKER 290518-ET-001

is watching the girls succeeding and growing in their different positions,” Silva said.

“Winning is awesome, but the important thing is also that everyone is giving it their best go.”

Pool games will be played at the EA Networks Centre on Saturday, with cross pool play to get under way on Sunday and finals on Monday, with the A grade final at 2pm on Monday.

The weekend will also feature a Beko Netball League match between Mainland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty at 5.40pm on Sunday.

Meanwhile the Mid Canterbury U17s are off to Christchurch this weekend for a tournament as they look to build towards their nationals in Palmerston North in July.
