Safety hazard Shined up for big day P10

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Land owners with shingle driveways are faced with being forced to seal their entrances as Ashburton District Council staff enforce council policy.

Discussion on staff ’s approach to the council’s ve-

hicle crossing policy divided the council’s services delivery committee yesterday, with five voting in support and four against a recommendation before them.

Roading manager Brian Fauth acknowledged the enforcement could be seen as unfair by some, but it re-

duced a safety hazard and liability risk to the council.

His report recommended that staff continue using an approach which involved three different ways property holders on sealed roads would be forced to seal their driveway entrances and pay for them.

One was that while the council undertook sealed road network rehabilitation it could itself fund driveway entrance sealing on accesses to residences and buildings requiring heavy traffic access, such as milking sheds.

Kirsten’s agony Kristen Stewart agonised over her sex scene with former boyfriend Robert Pattinson in the Twilight franchise because she wanted it to be “so good”. The actress explains she felt pressure to live up to what fans wanted to see in the vampire love scene and it led to a few sleepless nights.

“I only hate (sex scenes) when they’re contrived. That’s when it’s grotesquely uncomfortable,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar UK. “On Twilight we had to do the most epic sex scene of all time. It had to be transcendent and otherworldly, inhuman, better sex than you can possibly ever imagine, and we were like, ‘How do we live up to that?’ It was agony ... I wanted it to be so good.”

BUGGER that Bugger. That’s what might come to mind if you miss out on one of the most sought-after number plates in many years.

A fundraising effort will see rights to the personalised plate BUGGER auctioned off to the highest bidder next month.

Those behind the auction – the New Zealand Transport Agency and Personalised Plates – hope to raise funds to help Surf Life Saving NZ. NZTA chief Geoff Dangerfield said it was a unique way to help a Kiwi charity. “People love their personalised plates and we know there’ll be a good market for this one – which will be great news for our friends at Surf Life Saving NZ.”

More stoats please, we’re British They may be hated pests that love eating our cherished native birds, but pesky introduced stoats have just become a little more interesting to scientists overseas. Justpublished DNA comparisons have revealed that the stoats lurking in our wilderness include several genetic types that have long been lost from populations in their native Britain, prompting scientists to ask whether this diversity may even be worth bringing back home to Blighty. Our stoats are descendants of those imported in the late 1800s to control rabbit numbers, which reached plague proportions after their introduction for food and sport. Since then, stoats have been implicated in the extinction of bush wrens, laughing owls and the native thrush, and have been a major cause in the decline of kiwi, kokako, takahe, kaka and kakapo. The Department of Conservation recently declared them “public enemy number one” for birds and the Government has poured millions of dollars into 1080 poison drops and research to control them.

However, new New Zealand-led research published in the journal Molecular Ecology has found that when the stoat population in Britain crashed, their expat relatives in this country conserved a reservoir of genetic diversity.

McDreamy was costly McDreamy’s departure looks set to save the Grey’s Anatomy coffers close to $US10 million ($NZ13.13 million).

Patrick Dempsey was reportedly earning $US400,000 ($NZ530,000) per episode for his role as surgeon Derek Shepherd, aka Dr McDreamy, on the popular medical drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Dempsey’s salary would add up to about $US9.6 million ($NZ12.61 million) over a 24-episode season on the TV show produced by the US network ABC. Fans were shocked when Dempsey’s character was recently killed off in a car accident, with many signing a petition to ask the series creator, Shonda Rhimes, to bring him back from the dead. However, with a saving of nearly $US10 million, Rhimes is unlikely to be resurrecting anything other than her bank balance.

The report rankings, published by British company Quacquarelli Symonds, ranks the University of Auckland top in New Zealand for 29 out of 37 subjects, with 13 subjects in the top 50 in the world. It gained the largest number of subjects listed in the top-400 subject rankings. Otago University also had a win with its dentistry course named 8th in the world, the first time a New Zealand school has made the top 10. The rankings put Massey top in New Zealand for Veterinary Science and Agriculture and Forestry, AUT was best for art and design, and Otago top for philosophy. Victoria and Waikato were ranked equal with Auckland for communications, while Canterbury was a close second in terms of civil engineering.

The charges relate to events on September 1, when Tully allegedly entered the Winz offices and opened fire with a shotgun.

Tully is also accused of shooting Lindy Curtis in the leg, and firing at Kim Adams as she fled the building. All four women were Winz employees. A num-

A community support service will operate in Ashburton during the trial of the man accused of fatally shooting two women and injuring another in the town’s Winz offices last year.

Russell John Tully is set to go to trial in the High Court in Christchurch on May 11. He stands accused of two counts of murder, two of attempted murder, theft, unlawful possession

ber of Winz clients were in the building at the time.

In the lead up to the trial, Community House Mid Canterbury and Presbyterian Support have joined forces to offer a drop-in support service, which will be funded by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).

“MSD wanted to do something to support the community,” Community House manager Kathryn Barr said.

The service will operate out

of Community House, where a social worker will be available for those affected by the tragedy.

It will operate three days a week until the end of the month, but that could be reassessed, depending on the numbers accessing the service and the length of the trial.

Mrs Barr said the trial would undoubtedly reopen wounds for many people traumatised by the shootings.

Eager bakers were putting the finishing touches on their creations yesterday in preparation for today’s Cake Stall for Nepal event.

The fundraising event will see local celebrities baking or donating cakes for a celebrity cake auction, with all proceeds going towards the Nepalese earthquake relief.

Local celebrities putting their culinary skills to good use include Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay, Hoops from Hokonui Radio, local principals Grant McMillan and Graeme Smith, and Guardian general manager Desme Daniels.

Staff at Café Time in Tinwald have also been busy baking cakes for the event.

As well as baking some for community members to donate, the café was also donating some of their own to the event.

Today’s event was initiated

by Ashburton College staff, with college executive officer Charlie Kelland praising the generosity of the Mid Canterbury community.

Schools and businesses around the district will also be holding mufti days today to add to the fundraising effort.

All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross.

“The families and friends of those people directly involved in the trial will also need support over the next few weeks, but really this has affected the whole community.”

Robbery ‘disgraceful’ A family with two young children were confronted by a man wielding a broken bottle in a “disgraceful” robbery yesterday afternoon.

Police said the man approached the family after they parked their camper van in the Countdown supermarket car park in Levin about 3pm yesterday.

“He demanded money and the couple, who had two young children with them at the time, feared for their safety and handed over some of their belongings,” Detective Sergeant Peter Vine of Levin police said.

The man then fled to a nearby vehicle driven by another person, possibly a female.

Mr Vine said the family were “naturally distressed” by the incident.

Police were now urgently seeking information from the public.

“We want to speak to anyone that witnessed this disgraceful incident and encourage them to contact police.”

Police were working to establish a fuller description of the offender and vehicle, but that would take some time due to the distress the family suffered.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Driveway entrance sealing a safety concern From P1 The second was that while undertaking the annual sealed network resurfacing programme, the council would contact property owners and tell them the driveway entrance was to be sealed.

In this case they would be required to enter into a costsharing arrangement with the council.

The third was that any build-

ing work which required a building consent would see entrance sealing become a requirement of the consent, at the cost of the property owner.

Some councillors were particularly concerned with the latter, questioning whether a building consent for something as minor as a log burner was included.

District planning manager Ian Hyde reported that staff took into account intensification

of use, a log burner was not intensifying use, but the construction of two worker cottages was.

Councillors discussed the issue for over half an hour, and among those opposed was mayor Angus McKay. He said he struggled with the fact that if he applied for a building consent he had to seal his driveway entrance on his own, and it would not be done under council road

rehabilitation which may be carried out later.

Among those in support was deputy chairman Darryl Nelson, who raised the scenario of motorcyclists skidding on shingle which spilled out from such driveways.

“How many of you people are going to smile about that?” he said to fellow councillors.

“We have a moral obligation to our ratepayers to ensure if

they are riding on a bitumen road, that that bitumen road is fit for purpose.”

The recommendation passed with five in support - Mr Nelson, Martin Nordqvist, Donna Favel, Alan Totty and Ken Cutforth.

Voting against were fellow service delivery committee members Russell Ellis, Neil Brown, chairman Stuart Wilson, as well as Mr McKay.

■ FONTERRA PAYOUT DOWN AGAIN

Farmers prepared to weather storm

By MiChelle nelson miChelle.n@theguardian.Co.nz

In the face of tumbling milk prices, Mid Canterbury farmers are reasonably well prepared to weather the storm, a rural professional says.

Yesterday Fonterra pulled back its milk payout forecast by another 20c per kilogram of milksolids, dropping this season’s price to $4.50kg/MS. Combined with the estimated dividend range of 20-30 cents per share, the co-operative’s farmer suppliers are set to receive $4.70 to $4.80kg/MS – if the latest forecast holds.

Fonterra chairman John Wilson said the reduction reflected the continuing and significant volatility in international dairy commodity prices caused by over-supply in the market.

Tavendale and Partners lawyer Tim Silva said the situation hadn’t taken anyone by surprise.

“This has been pretty well telegraphed and the expectation has been there for some time even though the drop has not become official until now,” Mr Silva said.

“Even though it’s tough, our clients are prepared to the best

extent possible.”

Mr Silva said the situation in Mid Canterbury had been cushioned to some degree by reliable alpine water for irrigation.

“On the bright side, we haven’t had the production challenges and cost blowouts around the drought, because a good proportion of our water comes from the main divide, we haven’t suffered as much as some districts,” he said.

“It hasn’t been a triple whammy – our farmers have been well prepared for this, no one in or supporting the industry are fair weather sailors.

“We are not seeing a queue of clients in distress.

“We’ve known for many months this was going to be tough – the big question is what will happen next season.”

He said farmers faced four macro issues beyond their control; payouts, interest rates, production costs and production.

“The payout is bad, interest rates are good, production costs in Mid Canterbury haven’t been too bad, and production has been good – two and a half out of four isn’t too bad,” he said.

Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings said geopoliti-

cal unrest in places such as Russia, the Middle East and North Africa is impacting global dairy demand.

“Remote as they are, events such as the flow of refugees from Libya to Europe come together with factors like lower oil prices to soften dairy demand.”

Fonterra’s latest estimate of New Zealand milk production for the current season is 1607 million kgMS. This was based on recent growth conditions on-farm and will depend on conditions for the rest of the season.

■ DUCK SHOOTING SEASON

Camouflage this season’s must-have

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury duck shooters will be decked out in style this coming weekend.

The avid hunters are so eager to get their hands on this year’s new duck shooting fashions that they are nearly driving through shop windows to get to them.

Sparrows Men’s and Ladies Fashion manager Richard Wilson said the move to camouflage merino thermals instead of the traditional synthetic items had many hunters excited.

“I had one guy that came in the shop that said he just about crashed his car into the window when he spotted it, he’d been trying to find it on the internet.”

Mr Wilson said there was a fashionable element to the camouflage gear,

KEY CLOTHING Five key pieces of clothing for any keen duck shooter: Face Mask/Face paint Gloves Windproof jacket Waders Hat Dean ‘Deano’ Officer said all of this in camouflage was ideal, but it depended where people shoot from.

“If you are in a proper maimai for example, most of your lower body is covered anyway,” he said.

with items such as camo shorts all the rage in summer.

Hunting and Fishing Ashburton’s Dean ‘Deano’ Officer agreed that camouflage was key.

Due to the introduction of the steel shot, many avid duck shooters have had to change their attire, he said.

“In the old days it used to be a pair of blue overalls and a pair of Red Bands but because you have to get the ducks closer to humanely harvest them you need to conceal yourself better, so that is where camouflage clothing comes in,” Mr Officer said.

While he was adamant people’s chosen attire is nothing to do with fashion, he admitted there were new trends that popped up each year.

“Camouflage breathable waders have been a little bit more in vogue whereas it used to be the neoprene waders which can get quite hot,” he said.

Waterproof gear was not quite as important he said, as typically the opening day of duck shooting was fine so lightweight gear would do the trick.

Duck shooting season opens tomorrow, and farmers should be reviewing health and safety guidelines of hunting, particularly those regarding firearms, an HR consultant says.

The first concern surrounding duck shooting relates to the location of the shoot itself, Crowe Horwath health and safety consultant Melissa Vining said.

“The rumour mill has been spinning this year and it appears many farmers are thinking of shutting down access to their ponds due to fear of accidents and potential legal repercussions they may face as a result of hunters using their land.

“There is absolutely no need for farmers to shut down their ponds and not let people enjoy their land.

“Firearm safety is the number one issue, and if all shooters brush up on the seven basic rules regarding gun use, then health and safety should not get in the way of an enjoyable day.”

While the rules were equally important, the use of alcohol in relation to shooting accidents comes up time and time again, Ms Vining said.

“Having a designated sober driver and making sure that all firearms are locked away safely before the bottles are opened is the cardinal rule.

“Alcohol impairs judgement and compromises safety when hunting with firearms. In America it has been estimated that 75 per cent of all hunting accidents are related to the misuse of alcohol during a shoot.”

SEVEN RULES The seven principal rules for firearm safety: 1.

2.

3.

4.

7.

Treat every firearm as loaded Always point firearms in a safe direction Load a firearm only when ready to fire Identify your target Check your firing zone Store firearms and ammunition safely Avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms.

Burn-off gets up people’s noses

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Lighting a fire in urban Ashburton was not a “good look” for the Ashburton District Council, says councillor Donna Favel.

Nearby residents complained about air pollution from the fire on Tuesday.

It was a controlled burn of tree stumps on land at the EA Networks Centre open space area owned by the council.

Smoke triggered the fire alarm at the yet-to-be-opened centre, and was the subject of residents’ complaints downwind.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade responded to the call-out at about 9.20am, but were able to establish it was a controlled burn.

The council conducted the burn as a notified and a permitted activity, with consent having been granted by Environment Canterbury.

Mrs Favel raised her concerns at the council’s Service Delivery meeting yesterday. The com-

Smoke from a controlled burn-off by the Ashburton District Council at the EA Networks Centre open space area on Tuesday affected nearby residents.

mittee heard it would have otherwise cost the council up to $25,000 to dispose of the tree

stumps.

Mrs Favel said she had heard of residents who could not

understand why the council could not instead dump the tree stumps, especially as the

resource recovery park was nearby.

“Are we not charged with being leaders of this community and leading by example?” Mrs Favel said.

Committee chairperson Stuart Wilson said there was a clear geographical boundary as to where such activity could be undertaken, and what the council did was perfectly legal.

Mayor Angus McKay said he sympathised with people downwind, but burning had perhaps been the lesser of two evils.

Grinding up the green waste would have taken some time and caused noise pollution.

“Grinders do make a racket,” Mr McKay said.

Member Russell Ellis said the council could have done better in hindsight.

While the council had done the right thing, as disposing of the trees would have been otherwise costly, it could have perhaps written a letter to the residents who would be affected by smoke.

■ NATIONAL PARTY CONFERENCE

Education minister not coming

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

High-ranking National MPs will soon be converging on Ashburton, but the Minister of Education will not be among them.

The National Party Mainland Conference will hit town on May 9 and 10, bringing with it a bevy of National Party big-wigs.

All South Island-based National MPs are expected to attend, as well as several high

ranking ministers from further afield.

However any hope that the struggle faced by Mid Canterbury schools over booming rolls would be enough to earn a visit from Hekia Parata have been dashed. A spokesperson for Ms Parata confirmed the minister will not be attending the conference, citing prior commitments.

Mid Canterbury schools have been consulting with the ministry in recent months as

they struggle to cater to rapid roll growth.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy said local schools would have welcomed a visit from Ms Parata.

“It would mean a lot to Mid Canterbury schools if she showed a genuine interest in the challenges schools are facing in Mid Canterbury,” he said.

Previous education minister Anne Tolley had visited the

district to open classrooms and speak to students, but he believed Ms Parata was yet to visit the district.

“It would be wonderful to have the current minister in Mid Canterbury,” he said.

“We would really embrace the opportunity to showcase some of the great things that are happening here.”

The final conference programme, including the list of attendees, is set to be announced within the next week.

In brief Applications double There is new demand for grants from the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury a trend linked, in part, to its online application service. The trust this week reported that it had 43 organisations registered for online applications and had received 22 applications using the online portal. The number of applications to the trust has doubled in the first few rounds of this financial year compared with last year.

Rakaia’s history six years in the making

The newly combined Methven, Rakaia and Mayfield Presbyterian parish will have its inaugural service in Methven on Sunday.

After votes among parishioners on what the new parish should be named, Plains Presbyterian Parish has won out over Braided Rivers and United. The former individual parishes have each had services to close their parishes and will join for their inaugural service in Methven on Sunday at 10.30am.

■ RAKAIA HISTORY GROUP

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia Our History is a heavy book, but not a heavy read.

So says Rakaia History Group chairperson Eddie Oakley, who is pleased with the production of a 716 page A4sized tome that the group has been working on for the past six years.

“It’s probably the most comprehensive history of this type of any centre this size in the country,” Mr Oakley said of the book, which will be launched at a function tonight.

The town, which has a population of about 1000, celebrated 150 years of settlement in 2006, and it was then that some attendees decided to form the group.

They worked on a couple of projects such as restoring the old jail and bridge keeper’s hut, and then got to talking about the book.

They contracted author Janine Irvine of Time of Your Life and she spent about four years interviewing, researching and gathering photos.

The Methven green waste and inorganic drop-off facility may not have high usage, but it provides a service. That was the opinion of Ashburton District Council service delivery committee members at their meeting this week. Member Donna Favel commented on a report of 176 vehicles having used the facility so far this year. That worked out to only about five per week, and she asked at what point does the facility no longer become viable to keep open?

The park opens 2pm to 4pm Wednesdays and noon to 4pm Sundays. Chairman Stuart Wilson said it was not a bad amount of visitors for only six hours per week of operation.

Dead cow in Montalto water supply By susan sanDys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

E coli in the Montalto water supply was caused by a dead cow, Ashburton District Council service delivery committee members heard yesterday.

Group manager service delivery Neil McCann reported that a routine water sample from the supply tested positive for the bacteria, and a boil water notice was issued on March 12.

“Inspections identified the presence of a dead cattle beast in the water supply catchment,” Mr McCann said.

Chairman Stuart Wilson said it was the sort of thing which happened in rural areas from time to time.

Deputy chair Darryl Nelson questioned how this sort of thing could happen in this day and age.

“Whether it was dead when it walked

in there or whether it was alive when it walked in there,” he joked.

Councillor Peter Reveley said the catchment had steep areas with a lot of stock. People who sourced the supply were healthy and had not taken objection to the boil water notice.

Councillor Rod Beavan said reading about the dead cow had been a light moment when he perused the agenda. He found Mr McCann’s report that the cow was “suspected to be the source of the contamination” particularly amusing.

“Obviously there were no birds in the catchment to get the blame at the time,” he said, referring to the issue of high E coli levels around bird colonies in the Ashburton River.

The boil water notice was lifted on March 24 following three consecutive clear tests.

New NZ citizens welcomed

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Yesterday was a very exciting day for Cristian Pegg and his wife Joanna as they became New Zealand citizens. The pair moved to New Zealand in 2006 from the United Kingdom, initially settling in Christchurch.

Mr Pegg said the Canterbury

earthquakes and the aftershocks that followed put them off living in the city and they decided to move further afield and came to settle in Rakaia, a place they have come to love.

Mr and Mrs Pegg joined 18 other new citizens in the ceremony held in the Ashburton District Council’s cham-

bers yesterday. Those taking part were from all around the world, Britain, India, Samoa, the Netherlands and Zambia.

Mayor Angus McKay welcomed the citizens before they each swore their oath of allegiance or affirmation.

Each person was presented with a certificate and the

youngest member of each family group was given a book detailing the history of the district.

At the end of the ceremony Hakatere Marae representative Jane Kelly – speaking in both Maori and English – extended the hand of friendship to the new citizens.

The community is rallying around a Milburn family who lost “everything” in a house fire on Wednesday. A Givealittle page for Julie and Dan Gordon and their three children has been set up by family friend Kazmera Sellers, of Milton, and a local radio station is encouraging people to make donations at Balclutha shops.

Ms Sellers said the Gordons were “always giving, they are always willing to help out”. “Now it’s time for all of us to help them.” Milton Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Robbie Philip said he felt terrible for Mr Gordon, who was standing outside the burning Circle Hill farmhouse when crews arrived. “It must be one of the hardest things ... to stand there and watch it unfold in front of you and there’s nothing you can do.”

No charges yet A man arrested following an armed offenders callout in North Dunedin on Wednesday is yet to be charged in relation to the Dunedin incident. Sean Andrew Roche, 26, of Dunedin, did not appear before a judge in the Dunedin District Court yesterday, but his case was adjourned by a registrar to May 22.

The four charges Roche faces at present include two charges related to the alleged theft of credit cards from Rangiora in early April and two charges of causing financial loss by deception in Christchurch about the same time.

Port compromise

Six Kiwis unaccounted for

By Daisy HuDson

Fears are growing for a number of New Zealanders still unaccounted for after Saturday’s destructive earthquake in Nepal, with one Kiwi mother describing the wait for news as “horrible”.

As the aid effort moves into its sixth day, Kiwi families with loved ones in Nepal are growing increasingly anxious about their safety.

In the last few days the number of missing has dropped as many have reached areas with telephone and internet access, or telecommunications have come back online.

However, a small number – believed to be six – has still not been heard from.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Mfat) refused to confirm the number of New Zealanders still missing in Nepal, but said “only a few” were unaccounted for.

“The ministry is in regular contact with their family members. For privacy reasons we are not releasing details of individuals,” the ministry said.

NZME. News Service has compiled a list of missing New Zealanders based on the Red Cross missing per-

Auckland Mayor Len Brown has used his casting vote to accept a compromise proposal by the city-owned port company to stop extending the shorter of its two wharf extensions into Waitemata Harbour. That followed an eighteight split in Auckland Council’s governing body yesterday, in response to a last-minute company offer to stop building a 92m western extension until a port future study could be completed

by April 30 next year. The resulting decision, allowing contractors to keep working on a 98m eastern extension, came four weeks after councillors voted unanimously to ask Ports of Auckland to halt all work pending the study. - NZME

The Ashburton District Council’s proposed kerbside rubbish collection is set to come with a $19 million price tag.

The proposal would see the council ditch black plastic bags and replace them with wheelie bins for rubbish and recyclables, while keeping the glass crate for glass.

Mid Canterbury residents surveyed about their preferred rubbish collection option were overwhelmingly supportive of the proposal.

According to council community relations manager Vincie Billante, the estimated cost of the solid waste collection programme, which includes the wheelie bins, is $19 million over a 10 year period, which averages out to $1.9 million per year.

Ms Billante said that was an additional cost of about $1.1 million annually over and above the existing solid wastes budget.

The rubbish collection proposal is one of a series of issues up for discussion at the council’s long term plan public meetings.

Several meetings have already been held, and Ms Billante says feedback has been constructive.

son website Family Links, Google’s Person Finder website, and by speaking to family members of those still unaccounted for.

Marie Grant, the mother of one of those missing – Doug Sealy, 31, from Wellington – described the wait for news as “just horrible”.

However, a recent credit card transaction on Mr Sealy’s account had given her hope he was safe.

“Apparently his credit card was used on the 28th, so I’m hoping that he’s going to be alright,” she said.

“I’m just hoping it wasn’t when the transaction went through, it was actually when he used it.”

Mr Sealy has been volunteering in India, and was forced to make a trip to Nepal in order to renew his visa, Ms Grant said. He was due to be in the Himalayan country when the earthquake struck.

“I rang where he was teaching last night in India, and they said he left late, and so they thought the bus wouldn’t have got to wherever it was going until 7am. They thought that he wouldn’t have had enough time to get to Nepal because he left so late.”

“So that’s a bit hopeful too.

But apart from that, I don’t know – we’re just waiting.”

Mr Sealy had yet to make contact with his family by last night. He did not have a phone with him in India, only a laptop which he was using to communicate via email and Facebook.

“He could be somewhere remote where there’s no coverage for laptops or there might not be any power there, so I’ve just got to wait,” his anxious mother said.

At the time of the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake, 99 New Zealanders were registered with Government travel website SafeTravel as being in Nepal. Since then the well-being of more than 260 New Zealanders in Nepal has been confirmed, Mfat said.

The ministry did not go into detail about what it was doing to help locate the missing New Zealanders, but said: “Consular staff are actively engaging with local authorities in Nepal and continue to follow up all leads being provided by families.”

A spokesperson also said the situation was being closely monitored, and “our consular team in Kathmandu are providing advice to New Zealanders”.

Barley record set A New Zealand farming couple have smashed a 25 year-old world record and their supporters say the achievement could help solve world hunger. Timaru-based farmers Warren and Joy Darling have entered the book of Guinness World Records after producing the world’s largest crop of barley. They produced 13.8 tonnes per hectare, eclipsing the previous record of 12.2 tonnes a Scottish grower had held since 1989. “The new record is an exciting achievement for New Zealand, and the world. Producing greater harvests from the same amount of land will have a big part to play in helping solve the world hunger problem, and feeding a growing population,” chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer said in a statement. The Darlings produced the equivalent of more than 17,000 loaves of bread per hectare.

By Brendon McMahon West Coast police area commander Inspector John Canning paid a courtesy visit to the Gloriavale Christian Community yesterday, as the police and national media turned up the heat on the reclusive 500-strong community.

Earlier this week the police urged those who had left Gloriavale to step forward with any relevant information about “certain allegations,” previously aired on television, or anything else relating to Gloriavale.

Julia, who made her experience known on national television last week – spoke to police on Tuesday, TV3’s Campbell Live reported.

Mr Canning told the Greymouth Star his presence at Gloriavale was as a courtesy to make himself known, describing it as “a social visit”.

It appeared to be “business as usual” at the community, he said. To his knowledge, at this point nothing further had yet emerged to assist police, he said.

Meanwhile, police have now set up a freephone number (0800 400 800) for people who would like to speak to police in relation to Gloriavale.

A tax scam is luring unsuspecting people into receiving stolen funds and sending the money overseas.

Southern District police said the “money mule” scam involved a member of the public receiving a phone call, in which they were told a tax rebate was waiting for them but would only be released if they donated a set sum to a charity in India.

“By agreeing to donate, a sum of money is placed in the person’s bank account and instructions are then given to withdraw the money and forward to a charity in India via Western Union,” police said in a statement yesterday.

“Police would like to reiterate that any situation where you are expected to donate to a charity or cause in order to receive a tax rebate is not legitimate.”

Police urged people who received the dodgy phone calls to hang up and con-

tact their local police station. Those who believed scammers had already conned them were also ured to contact police.

“Members of the public are reminded to exercise caution when receiving unsolicited phone calls or emails which [aim] to give them a benefit,” police added.

Police said people should never give out any personal details over the phone, including bank account details, pin numbers, passwords or personal information.

“If you have any doubts about the validity of any correspondence, ask for the caller’s name and then call the company’s generic phone number listed on their website or in the phonebook and ask to be transferred back to the person,” police said.

“If something seems to easy or too good to be true, it often is, and you should always seek a second opinion from someone you trust.”

In brief More women freed A day after the Nigerian army celebrated the rescue of 200 girls and 93 women in the forest stronghold of Boko Haram, the army’s spokesman says more women and children believed to have been abducted by the Islamic extremists were rescued as firefights broke out there. Several lives were lost including that of a soldier and a woman during the shootouts in nine separate extremist camps in the Sambisa Forest, according to an army statement.

Strikes kill 20 civilians Activists say Syrian government forces have killed at least 20 civilians while targeting rebels in the northwest who have been advancing in recent weeks. The airstrikes and shelling in Idlib province targeted rebels in areas north and south of the town of Jisr al-Shughour, which recently fell to the insurgents, and in and around the town of Saraqeb. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 21 civilians, including five children, were killed.

Protests spread Pemba Tamang is carried on a stretcher after being rescued by Nepalese policemen and US rescue workers from a building that collapsed five days ago in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Rescuers pull out survivor A long-absent noise — cheers — rang out in Nepal’s capital yesterday as rescuers pulled a teenager alive from the earthquake rubble he had been trapped in for five days.

The joy interrupted a dreary and still fearful day in which thousands worried about aftershocks lined up to board free buses to their rural hometowns.

Hundreds cheered as the 18-year-old, identified by police as Pemba Tamang, was pulled out of the wreckage, dazed and dusty, and carried away on a

stretcher. He had been trapped under the collapsed debris of a seven-storey building in Kathmandu since Saturday, when the magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck.

Nepalese rescuers, supported by an American disaster response team, had been working for hours to free him. L.B. Basnet, the police officer who crawled into a gap to reach Tamang, said he was surprisingly responsive.

“He thanked me when I first approached him,” said Basnet.

“He told me his name, his address, and I gave him some water. I assured him we were near to him.”

When Tamang was lifted out, his face was covered in dust, and medics had put an IV drip into his arm. A blue brace had been placed around his neck. He appeared stunned, and his eyes blinked in the sunlight as workers hurriedly carried him away.

The jubilant scene was welcome on a drizzly, chilly day in Kathmandu where many resi-

dents remained on edge over aftershocks that have rattled the city since Saturday’s mammoth quake killed more than 5500 people and destroyed thousands of houses and other buildings.

More than 70 aftershocks stronger than magnitude 3.2 have been recorded in the Himalayan region by Indian scientists over the past five days, according to J.L. Gautam, the director of seismology at the Indian Meteorological Department in New Delhi.

57 storey building erected in 19 working days A Chinese construction company is claiming to be the world’s fastest builder after erecting a 57-storey skyscraper in 19 working days in central China.

The Broad Sustainable Building Co. put up the rectangular, glass-and-steel Mini Sky City in the Hunan provincial capital of Changsha using a modular method, assembling three floors per day, company vice president Xiao Changgeng said.

The company, which has ambitions to assemble the world’s tallest skyscraper at 220 floors in only three months, worked on Mini Sky City in two spurts

separated by winter weather.

Its time-lapse video of the rapid assembly has become popular on Chinese video-sharing sites since it was first uploaded on YouTube.

“With the traditional method, they have to build a skyscraper brick by brick, but with our method, we just need to assemble the blocks,” company engineer Chen Xiangqian said.

Such modular approaches have been used for high-rise apartment blocks elsewhere, including in Britain and the US. Some critics say the method could lead to cityscapes with overly uniform architecture.

Liu Peng, associate director of the engineering consulting firm ARUP Beijing, said the method is worth developing because it could become a safe and reliable way to build skyscrapers rapidly.

“But it is not perfect, and it does not meet all kinds of personalised demands,” Liu said.

“People nowadays want more personalised architecture.”

Mini Sky City, which has 19 atriums, 800 apartments and office space for 4000 people, goes on sale in May. The structure is safe and can withstand earthquakes, Xiao said.

The Changsha-based compa-

ny spent 4½ months fabricating the building’s 2736 modules before construction began.

The first 20 floors were completed last year, and the remaining 37 were built from January 31 to February 17 this year, Xiao said.

The company has honed its technology to accelerate its construction speed from two floors to three floors a day, he said.

“This is definitely the fastest speed in our industry,” Xiao said.

The company is awaiting approval for its 220-floor Sky City in Changsha.

Hundreds of people rallied and marched in New York and Boston to protest the death of a Baltimore man who was critically injured in police custody as Philadelphia activists prepared for their own demonstration. At least 60 people were arrested in New York after police on a loudspeaker warned them they would be taken into custody if they marched in the street. Protesters first rallied in Manhattan’s Union Square, where they chanted “no justice, no peace” and “hands up, don’t shoot,” a reference to the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, last year.

Then a group of protesters spilled into the street, disrupting traffic.

Dozens of police officers moved in with plastic handcuffs and began making arrests while officers with batons pushed the crowd back onto the sidewalk.

OUR VIEW

The death penalty Daisy Hudson

REPORTER

T

he misplaced adulation of the Bali Nine drug smugglers must be set aside and attention turned to the real issue of capital punishment.

On Wednesday morning all eyes turned to Indonesia as Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran took their final steps on the long walk to the firing squad.

The ringleaders of the Bali Nine drug smugglers were executed, sparking an outpouring of condemnation and grief from around the world.

Social media lit up as soon as the news was announced with opinions overwhelmingly opposed to the executions.

Some blasted the Australian Government for not doing more to bring the men home, while others used the announcement to ignite fresh debate over the use of the death penalty.

Some people simply wanted to send their condolences to the families left behind.

While the executions themselves sparked a strong reaction, many were also horrified by the indignities suffered by both the men and their families prior to the killings.

Prisoners were forced to take photos with their guards before being led in front of the firing squad, which they faced alone after being denied the right to have a pastor present.

Perhaps even more deplorably, their distraught families were exposed to the full glare of the intense media spotlight as they were forced to walk through a frenzied media scrum.

The intense reactions to the executions have been criticised, with some pointing out that the men were criminals and were well aware of the penalties of smuggling drugs in Indonesia.

Nobody is disputing that they had committed a crime, or that they deserved to be punished for it. But they had served time and the lack of humanity and mercy shown by the Indonesian Government almost defies belief.

The death penalty has not had the desired effect of decreasing the rampant drug trade in Indonesia.

If Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran’s deaths are not to be in vain, the fight against capital punishment now needs to move past the keyboard warriors on social media and into the political sphere.

YOUR VIEW 10-year plan In regards to the Ashburton District Council 10-year plan.

Most people who live in Ashburton tend to leave the everyday running of our town to our council; most people have faith in our council that they will do the right thing for our community as this is what they are paid to do.

We elect our councillors for the same reason, to speak for the community, to ask questions and ensure that the community has a voice.

This all sounds great in theory. In the past five years we have had discussions regarding the new bridge, art gallery and museum (now built) and now the new sports stadium (soon to be opened) along with wheelie bins in 2017, just to name a few.

With each project the community are asked to put submissions forward, or to tick boxes

CRUMB

on the forms that are delivered to our homes.

Yes we are moving with leaps and bounds, but do enough of us Ashburtonians really understand what is going on in our council regarding the spending of our rates. With talking to many people of different ages the answer is NO. Too many times I hear from people that they are disappointed in decisions our council has made regarding our community. Time and again I now hear there is no point to public submission – because they won’t listen or change their minds.

The people who do take a bigger interest in what goes on in council, putting in submissions, going to meetings and going through all the right process, at the end, still have very little or no influence in what decisions were made for this community.

We are now being asked by the council to have a say and

by David Fletcher

look at the 10-year plan. 12,774 submission forms have been delivered to households in Mid Canterbury regarding the 10year plan, there are even public meetings to teach us what it all means.

We then have an opportunity to put in submissions regarding what we think needs to be looked at and so on.

I know that this is the time to speak up, but, they have not listened regarding the bridge, gallery/museum, new pool size, Tinwald traffic management etc.

My query is (and this is not just my question), if we take the time and go through all the right process will it make ANY differences to what our council already have in their agenda?

Where is the evidence of community input having changed the deliberations, direction and outcome of council rulings?

Decriminalise drugs in NZ? T

his week’s column evolved from Coolum in Aussie.

I have just returned from the annual Hooper Boys’ trip, where I had to battle my way through five days of temperatures between 29°C and 33°C, swimming at the beach every day, and brother Greg’s homebrew.

That’s silver medallist in the Australian Brewing championships home-brew, by the way, (he’d shoot me if I didn’t mention that).

I’m not sure if it’s a middlechild thing, but Greg is VERY set in his ways and VERY outspoken.

The more of the afore mentioned silver medal winning nectar (that’s his description) he consumes, the more outspoken he becomes.

He is a passionate atheist.

By passionate, I mean, he has several podcasts arrive each week and listens to them, and a couple of beer-brewing podcasts, instead of radio or music in his truck while he’s doing his courier run around Brisbane each day.

After a couple of lectures,

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

(oops, I mean interesting chats about religion) the topic of the Bali executions came up and I looked forward to Greg’s views on this.

“Make all drugs legal,” he said, (more like a yelled).

“Why should a government tell me what I can put in my body?

“It’s only when people say you can’t do things, that they look more attractive and you want to do them.

“Look at Portugal,” he said, and explained further when he received our glazed-over look in response. “They changed their drug laws to make them all legal and things have only got better.”

His views on this topic, went on to highlight the government taxing the purchase of drugs, and spending money on drug education instead of policing

drugs. In an effort to back up his exclamations, (or should I say - prove him wrong) I have done some research on Portugal and their drug laws.

In 2001, the Portuguese government did something that most countries would find entirely alien.

After many years of waging a fierce war on drugs, it decided to flip its strategy entirely: It decriminalised them all.

If someone is found in the possession of less than a 10day supply of anything from marijuana to heroin, he or she is sent to a three-person commission for the dissuasion of drug addiction, typically made up of a lawyer, a doctor and a social worker.

The commission recommends treatment or a minor fine; otherwise, the person is sent off without any penalty. A vast majority of the time, there is no penalty.

Fourteen years after decriminalisation, Portugal has not been run into the ground by a nation of drug addicts. In fact, by many measures, it’s doing far better than it was before.

Drug use has declined overall

among the 15- to 24-year-old population - those most at risk of initiating drug use.

There has also been a decline in the percentage of the population who have ever used a drug, and then continued to do so.

Drug-induced deaths have decreased steeply.

A widely cited study published in 2010 in the British Journal of Criminology, found that after decriminalisation, Portugal saw a decrease in imprisonment due to drug-related charges, alongside a surge in visits to health clinics that deal with addiction and disease.

I’m not saying that Greg is right, God help me if I was ever in the situation where I had to admit that (Oh that’s right, there isn’t one), but it certainly is food for thought eh?

Till next week, hoo roo.

Tough week for markets

M

arkets have had a tough week with plenty of data to process.

Earnings season stepped up another notch this week with 159 companies reporting first quarter results. On the economic front, investors saw preliminary GDP estimates from the UK and the US and central bank decisions from New Zealand and the US. In Europe, investors continued to grapple with the continuing Greek debt crisis, but received some better-thanexpected news later in the week from across the region. The mixed data has seen markets pushed and pulled and largely finished down for the week.

Commodity prices continue to fluctuate as the global recovery remains slow and uneven. Oil prices have risen recently with four consecutive weeks of gains.

they would be reducing production levels. Following the announcement, the Australian dollar surged against its peers, pushing through the 80 cent mark against the US for the first time since January.

The UK’s GDP showed that economic growth in the region has slumped to its weakest level in three years, growing just 0.3 per cent for the first quarter this year. This was well below the reading from the December quarter which showed an increase of 0.7 per cent. The reading comes just before the May 7 election in what has become a very tight race.

Current chancellor, George Osborne, said the reading was good news as it still showed

quarter before rate rises would occur. The statement continued to say that decisions would be made on a meeting-by-meeting basis dependent on the incoming economic data at the time.

The central bank acknowledged the slowdown in the recovery for the first quarter of the year and while they saw the weakness was in part due to transitory factors it did highlight some soft patches in the economy.

Before rate hikes could occur these soft patches would need to tighten, in particular waiting for the labour market to improve.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand announced that rates would again remain on hold which was the expected result for the meeting. However, the commentary changed and indicated that a cut could occur to combat a stubbornly high New Zealand dollar and help to raise weak inflation towards the target range of 1-2 per cent per annum.

Governor Graeme Wheeler commented that the bank expects rates to remain at low levels to stimulate the economy.

If demand remains sluggish and wages and inflation remain at low levels this would be an opportunity for rates to be cut.

Lastly in dairy news, Fonterra has cut its forecast payout for this season by a further 20 cents per kilo of milksolids, taking it down to $4.50. The dividend remains at an estimated range of 20-30 cents per share. This equates to roughly $350 million in earnings for the dairy industry which in turn affects regional spending in dairy heavy areas. The concern remains for next season, and that many dairy operations will struggle with two years of weakness.

the economy was expanding, albeit at a slower pace. Analysts believe that the slowdown is a temporary stumble and that the recovery is likely to resume pace in the second quarter with inflation expectations for the year remaining at 3 per cent.

The US announced that GDP had grown 0.2 per cent for the first quarter of the year as the world’s largest economy feels the effects of an especially harsh winter, low oil prices and a very high dollar. The reading was a big step down from the December quarter and marks the weakest reading in a year. It was also below expectations as the government did not quantify the difficult combination of circumstances that the US economy is facing. However, analysts believe that this is merely a temporary issue.

The Federal Reserve announced on Thursday it would hold rates again, implying in the rhetoric that it would be waiting until at least the third

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept the official cash rate at 3.5 per cent and said it may have to lower the rate should demand and inflationary pressures track lower than would be consistent with its inflation target.

Governor Graeme Wheeler changed his language compared to the March 12 monetary policy statement, dropping any reference to the possibility of rate hikes, repeating that the kiwi dollar is unjustifiably and unsustainably high and painting a weaker picture of trading partner growth.

“The timing of future adjustments to the OCR will depend on how inflationary pressures evolve in both the non-traded and traded sectors,” Wheeler said. “It would be appropriate to lower the OCR if demand weakens, and wage and price-setting outcomes settle at levels lower than is consistent with the inflation target.”

A change of tone was anticipated after assistant governor John McDermott said last week that the bank isn’t currently considering any increase in rates.

Wheeler repeated those words yesterday, saying the bank expects to keep monetary policy “stimulatory”.

The TWI fell as low as 78.15 after the statement and following Fonterra Co-operative Group’s

announcement cutting its milk payout forecast, from 79.06 immediately before. The kiwi dollar declined to 76.03 US cents from 76.91 cents.

“As in the recent (McDermott) speech the RBNZ has effectively moved to an easing bias,” said Nick Tuffley, chief economist at ASB. “In addition, there is greater nervousness in the inflation comments. We think the odds of an OCR cut have got to 50:50, and that future meetings could see an OCR cut if inflation/wage-related data are soft.

At this point we are not explicitly forecasting an OCR cut, but are very close to the line.”

Inflation is now close to zero, rising at an annual rate of just 0.1 per cent in the first quarter, the smallest annual movement since the year to September 1999. The central bank’s MPS forecasts of last month have an-

nual inflation staying below the mid-point of its 1 per cent-to-3 per cent target band through until at least March 2017.

McDermott said last week that much of the weakness reflected falling fuel prices and, assuming crude oil doesn’t extend its 50 per cent slump since July 2014, would drop out of the inflation rate at the start of 2016. Yesterday Wheeler said underlying inflation remains low “and is expected to pick up gradually.”

“Monetary policy will focus on the medium-term trend in inflation,” Wheeler said.

The New Zealand economy continues to grow at an annual rate of about 3 per cent, helped by low interest rates, high net immigration, construction activity and the decline in fuel prices, he said. House price inflation “is elevated in Auckland”.

In brief

■ VITAL PROTEINS

‘Still much to learn’ An incredible process that could turn harmful gases into useful products like car tyres by engineering enzymes shows why scientists need to keep challenging our understanding of what are the proteins vital to all life on Earth.

That’s the message from Otago University researchers, whose research has suggested the need for a fundamental rethink of the evolutionary path of enzymes.

Enzymes catalyse a vast array of biologically relevant chemical reactions even in the simplest living cells.

Biochemist Dr Wayne Patrick said people tended to imagine evolution as a slow and steady march from barely functional life forms in the primordial soup, towards a modern-day pinnacle of near perfection.

“When it comes to enzyme evolution, this is also the textbook version of the events that are occurring at the molecular level; a smooth and steady trajectory, from barely functional primordial catalysts to the highly active and specific enzymes that we observe today.”

But upon closer examina-

Twitter’s stock dropped sharply as the company’s revenue and outlook fell short of expectations at a time investors are looking for stronger advertising growth to make up for less-than-stellar user numbers. Twitter’s adjusted earnings for the first quarter topped Wall Street estimates but revenue fell short of expectations and of Twitter’s own guidance. The company posted a loss of $162 million, or 25 cents per share, in the January-March period. - NZME

Investors’ nightmare

Otago University biochemist Dr Wayne Patrick says we need to challenge the status quo when it comes to understanding enzymes, the proteins vital to all life on Earth.

tion, he said, the reality appeared quite different.

In an article appearing in the UK Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Dr Patrick, his PhD student Matilda Newton and their collaborator Professor Vic Arcus, summarise experimental data that challenges the prevailing thinking.

“We discuss examples in which enzymes have evolved with lightning speed - over

years, rather than eons - and provide real evidence that many enzymes were better catalysts in the ancient past than they are today,” Dr Patrick said.

One example of extraordinarily rapid evolution is the emergence of enzymes that modern-day bacteria use to break down human-made antibiotics and pesticides.

“Studying the complexities of enzyme evolution not only

provides fundamental knowledge about how life emerged from the primordial soup, but also gives insights into designing proteins with biomedical and biotechnological applications.”

Dr Patrick and his colleagues at the Department of Biochemistry’s Laboratory for Enzyme Engineering and Evolution were currently pursuing such applications.

The ever-changing face of Facebook Facebook’s notifications tab is about to get a whole lot busier, thanks to a planned overhaul of the feature by Facebook developers.

The social network is currently working on a “robust new notifications tab”, according to tech news site Mashable, which will pull in lots of information from all over the site

Twitter takes a dive

and effectively act as a go-to hub for everything a user needs to know each day.

A Facebook spokesperson said there will be eight different sections on the notifications tab by default: • Birthdays - which most people receive notifications for already - will remain.

• Life Events will show things

published by your friends recently.

• Nearby Places will show three places to eat depending on your location.

• Trending Topics will show wider world/national news.

• News Shared Locally will be tailored to each user’s own location.

• Today in the Past will show

events that happened to you on this day.

• Nearby Friends will show who on your contact list is in the local area.

“We are testing an updated Notifications tab that adds additional, relevant content about everything that might be helpful to know on a particular - NZME day.”

There’s no denying the romance of space and perhaps this is why so many investors, customers and journalists got caught up in the dream of launching Australia’s first privately owned satellite. But they will be rueing the day they got involved with NewSat, after the Australian space company slipped into administration earlier this month without ever having launched a satellite into orbit.

Its plan to launch five satellites by 2020 now seems nothing more than a pipe dream.

Huge profit for Apple The iPhone is still the engine behind Apple’s phenomenal success, even as attention turned to its new smartwatch in recent weeks. While sceptics question whether the company’s future is tied too much to one product, the iPhone’s popularity was the reason Apple turned in another blow-out financial report this week. Apple sold more than 61 million iPhones in the quarter, accounting for more than twothirds of its $58 billion in revenue for the quarter and the lion’s share of its $13.6 billion in profit. - NZME

Getting the news out Google says it will give European publishers 150 million euros to help them adapt to the challenge of selling news online. The Internet giant has had a rocky relationship with the European publishing industry, which accuses Google of profiting from its content without sharing the revenue. Last year, Google blocked Spanish publishers’ reports from more than 70 Google News international editions due to a new Spanish law requiring aggregators to pay to link content.

In brief Coles up for big clash Dane Coles had May 2 circled on his calendar for some time.

Granted, it might have been a metaphorical calendar, but once the Hurricanes hooker knew he was going to be out of action due to the elbow injury he suffered against the Blues in Palmerston North on March 13, he had one game he wanted to return for, and he will play from the bench against the Crusaders at Westpac Stadium in Wellington tomorrow. “The New Zealand derbies are always the best ones to play. But the Crusaders are a quality side and we are in a good position at the moment so we just need to carry on that form.”

Tough ask for Hampstead

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Things don’t get any easier for Hampstead in the Combined Country Cup rugby competition tomorrow.

Coming off a 32-point loss to Southern last week, Hampstead come up against an unbeaten Methven in round six.

The good news is that things have changed a lot in the 12 months since the sides last met - a 71-0 win to Methven.

Despite running out 44-12 winners, Southern coach Jason Rickard described it as the best Hampstead side he had seen in several years.

Hampstead coach Regan Broker has the players not only turning up wanting to play but playing for each other.

They looked good when

they held onto the ball against Southern and got their offloads going but simple mistakes, often at the wrong end of the field, proved costly.

They were outplayed and simply shut out for most of the first half, but Broker was happy to see his side finish strong in the second half rather than “fold like the Hampstead of old”.

“We could have ended up losing by 60 points the way things were going and the fact that in previous weeks we had faded in the last 20 minutes it looked like we would but they dug deep,” Broker said. “They know they played poorly last week and want to put a decent performance on the field this week.

“We know it’s not going to be an easy task but we can’t

play like we did last week or we’ll be on the end of another big score.”

After the deflating loss Hampstead want to put up a better performance – especially on club day.

They will do so without hardworking flanker Tevita Ula (groin), a welcome relief to the ribs of the Methven forwards - although Hampstead will have others ready to deliver the bone-jarring hits.

Methven have beaten Hampstead in their last 13 meetings including the 71-point hammering last year, but coach Dale Palmer expects a much tougher test tomorrow.

Methven will go in as favourites and rightly so on the back of five consecutive wins to be on top of section two.

In a crucial top-four matchup fourth placed Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell are at home to the unbeaten Waihora.

Ashley are at home to Darfield, at the bottom of the table the winless Ohoka and Saracens look to get a first win.

Third placed Southern met Rolleston last night.

In section one second placed Rakaia are after a fifth straight win at home to Oxford and Celtic chase a second road win away to Prebbleton as they look to maintain a top four spot.

Southbridge will be eyeing a bonus point win over West Melton to stay in top spot, Glenmark are at home for a third straight week but coming off back-to-back losses when they take on Kaiapoi and Hornby host a resurgent Lincoln.

A penitent Bismarck du Plessis will return to the Sharks’ front row for tonight’s match against the Highlanders in Dunedin but will not resume the captaincy. The hooker has completed his four-match ban for a kick to the head of a Chiefs player, a suspension that started the week after he had issued a public apology for “irresponsible behaviour” in a match against the Bulls in Pretoria. Du Plessis has also agreed it was best for the team that experienced lock Marco Wentzel continued leading the side while he concentrated on recapturing the form that made him the best hooker in the world in 2012 and 2013. The reality is that du Plessis was always going to be demoted after repeated acts of ill-discipline that go back to - NZME 2014.

First game for U20s Selecting the New Zealand Under 20s continues to be a crucial process, and new assistant coach Tana Umaga admits some good quality players miss out. But one man’s injury is another man’s opportunity as the Under 20s prepare for today’s Oceania Junior Championship opener against Japan on the Gold Coast. That is the case for Wellington halfback Luke Campbell, who played out of his skin in the national Under 19 tournament last October in Taupo, but was unlucky to miss the original cut for this squad. Concussion to 2013 NZ Schools halfback Harrison Levien of Waikato has seen Campbell win a call-up to act as back-up to Taranaki’s Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi.

Retallick out for four weeks World player of the year Brodie Retallick (right) has been ruled out of rugby for four weeks with a shoulder injury.

The injury suffered to Retallick’s left shoulder is the opposite joint from the ailment that saw him miss six weeks earlier in the season.

It’s a blow for the Chiefs, coming in the same month that All Black Aaron Cruden was ruled out for the season with a knee injury, though Retallick will at least be able to return

for the run in to the finals.

The lock will miss Saturday night’s trip to Melbourne, after which the Chiefs have a bye before a top-of-the-table clash with the Hurricanes in Wellington.

He will be replaced against the Rebels by Michael Fitzgerald, linking with Matt Symons to reform the same locking combination that accounted for Retallick’s earlier absence.

Chiefs coach Dave Rennie has made a number of other

changes to his run-on XV, with Andrew Horrell getting a chance in the No10 jersey.

Marty McKenzie started at first five in the Chiefs’ first match without Cruden, but the versatile Horrell now has an opportunity.

Liam Messam returns to blindside flanker after a week’s rest, James Lowe has overcome injury to take his place on the left wing, and Pauliasi Manu and Ben Tameifuna will take over in the front row. - NZME

NZ titles on the line

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Drivers from all over the country are converging ton Ashburton this weekend.

New Zealand Title weekend is on again at the Ashburton Speedway, with two titles up for grabs over two huge days of racing.

As well as the production and ministock national titles, there is the unofficial six-shooter title up for grabs with the racing set to go down to the wire.

Last year’s New Zealand Production title had Nik Fraser out gun four-time winner Dave Fillius by a solitary point over the three races.

Fraser is back to defend his crown but will have Fillius gunning for a fifth title with at least 25 drivers set to race.

After six races the New Zealand ministock title was decided in a run-off last year when Vinny Parsons came out on top of Grant Hanson, who spun out on the second lap of the run-off.

Parsons will attempt to go back-to-back but will have to see off the challenge of Grant Hanson, or any of the more than 20 drivers.

The six shooters again race

Former New Zealand Test utility Lance Hohaia will seek medical advice about any potential long-term health problems after announcing his immediate retirement from rugby league due to “recurrent post-match concussion-type symptoms”. The former Warriors player’s decision came a little more than six months since being knocked unconscious

by Wigan forward Ben Flower in St Helens’ grand final victory at Old Trafford.

for the unofficial national title, raced for alternately in the North and South Island each year, for the third time in Ashburton.

Defending champion Dave Thomas, the winner in Tauranga last year, has come

down and will face last year’s South Island title holder Kris Jemmett and Mathew Anderson – who has been all-but unbeatable in Ashburton this season.

As usual there will also be plenty of other high-speed

action on the track with solid fields in the support grades over both days.

Racing gets under way at the Ashburton track at 12.30pm tomorrow, and then at the earlier time of 11am on Sunday.

The match they’ve been waiting for When the Wellington Phoenix were going to training at Newtown Park during their 18-week pre-season they would have been dreaming about games like the one they will play on Sunday.

The stage is set for them: They’re at home, they have an opponent they know they can beat and victory in this weekend’s elimination final against Melbourne City would earn them a semi-final spot.

Newtown Park isn’t a fun place to go in the winter - the wind and rain seems particularly fierce in July and August and making the playoffs probably seemed a world away before the Phoenix began their season last October.

Their 2014-2015 A-League campaign started in disappointing fashion with a 2-1 home loss to Perth Glory; although given what has emerged around the Glory’s attitude towards the salary cap, that defeat doesn’t seem as bad.

Middle Rock Station is the destination for the 22nd Annual Ashburton Plains Rotary Club’s Classic, Vintage and Veteran Car Run on Sunday as part of Wheels Week. Registration will be held at the Ashburton Showgrounds, between 8.30 and 10am. The cost is $20 per car and funds raised by this rally will be donated to the Canterbury/Westland Rescue Helicopter Trust.

Hohaia out for good

Rally for Wheels Week

Expectations were measured in the capital but the Phoenix had a healthy dose of recruits, namely Michael McGlinchey, Nathan Burns, Roly Bonevacia and Alex Rodriguez that gave cause for hope.

Coach Ernie Merrick is also a useful man to have in charge.

Many people from across the Tasman had written him off as a has-been before he joined the Phoenix two years ago, but his methods have continued to work and at 62, the Scotsman is still evolving as a coach.

The 27-week regular season brought immense highs for the Phoenix - they held a four-point lead at the top of the standings after round 22 - while there were some defeats they’d prefer to forget.

A maiden Premiers Plate looked realistic but the wheels began to fall off when the Phoenix copped a 3-0 home defeat to Sydney FC during an international window in late March.

The Phoenix have limped in to the playoffs in some respects

Nathan Burns: Star goal scorer for Phoenix this year.

- they finished the season in fourth - but the same could be said of Melbourne City given their past four games have yielded two draws and two losses.

City also conceded seven goals in their past two matches.

Merrick has tinkered with his preferred playing XI lately and this isn’t the ideal time of year to be doing that.

Fullbacks and midfield options have varied in recent weeks, while goalkeeper Glen Moss also missed last weekend’s 2-1 home loss to Sydney FC. Moss should be fit for Sunday and Merrick remained confident that his team would get it together in the playoffs.

“We are ready to go,” Merrick said.

“We’ve got a good mix of new players, experienced players, young up-and-coming players. We are looking good.”

City provide a unique matchup for the Phoenix.

They’re able to defend in numbers and pack the box, which hurts Wellington given their target of getting their strikers in behind the defensive line to turn the ball back for oncoming attackers.

The past two meetings between City and the Phoenix have provided 0-all draws, a result that could be Merrick’s worst nightmare given his team’s woes from the penalty spot this season.

Like a cricketer stuck on 99 overnight, the last five weeks have been a nervous wait for V8 Supercars great Craig Lowndes. The Holden ace has been stuck on 99 race wins for his V8s career following the last event in Tasmania over a month ago. Lowndes won two of the three races at Symmons Plains but a sixth-place finish in the Sunday race denied him the milestone and left him sitting third in the title race, a mere 23 points off leader and teammate Jamie Whincup. The odds on Lowndes becoming the first driver to secure 100 V8 wins at some point over this weekend seem high with the 40-year-old having won 15 races at Barbagallo in Perth, more than any location in his storied career. - AAP

Grizzlies maul Blazers Marc Gasol had 26 points and 14 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals by beating the Portland Trail Blazers 99-93 yesterday. The Grizzlies reached the West semi-finals for the third time in five years. They will play Game 1 on Sunday at Golden State.

Meanwhile Al Horford and Jeff Teague scored 20 points apiece, helping top-seeded Atlanta hold off Brooklyn in an NBA playoff series that’s closer than anyone envisioned.

Mayweather ‘a realist’ Floyd Mayweather claims his longawaited showdown with Manny Pacquiao isn’t a battle between good and evil as the two rivals went eyeball-to-eyeball at their final prefight press conference for the richest fight in history. “I am a realist,” said Mayweather whose a 47-0 record has made him the highestpaid sportsman on the planet. “This fight is not good versus evil. It is one fighter who is at the top and another.” Pacquiao, a two-term congressman touted as a potential future president of the Philippines, is beloved as a humanitarian in his native land. A devout Christian who has put womanising and gambling days behind him, he said his main aim in taking on Mayweather was to inspire the weak and glorify God. - AFP

Home run for Hampstead

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hampstead will look to start the season with two wins at home when they host Craighead at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf tomorrow.

The luck of the draw has the defending women’s champions play all five first round games at home, before starting the second round also at home against Hampstead-Collegians.

Hampstead beat their club mates 4-2 on opening weekend a fortnight ago with all four goals

coming from Nikita Kruger.

Their week two opponents, Craighead, suffered a 0-7 loss to Cambridge.

Hampstead-Collegians head south to tackle Timaru Girls’ looking to open their account, with coach Donna Mealings impressed with their opening outing.

While the premier women are all back on the turf after taking Anzac weekend off, the men’s grade have opted for this Saturday off instead for duck shooting.

Instead defending champions Wakanui Black played their match with Tainui last weekend suffering a 3-4 defeat, while Cambridge took down Northern Hearts 5-2.

Wakanui Blue will play Timaru Boys’ on Monday night in Timaru.

Kiwis looking sharp for Anzac test

By MichaeL Burgess Kiwis winger Jason Nightingale looks set to start the Anzac test tonight.

Nightingale came through yesterday’s captain’s runs with no apparent problems is likely to take his place in the line-up for tonight’s match.

The St George winger had been under an injury cloud over the past few days and was unable to take part in any team training due to a foot injury.

But he ran freely yesterday, allaying concerns about another disruption to the Kiwis back line.

Nightingale was a late replacement for Dallin Watene-Zelzniak, after the Penrith youngster was scratched through suspension.

Jason Nightingale: Now a veteran for the Kiwis.

It’s welcome news for the Kiwis side.

Nightingale was the top try scorer in the Four Nations last year and there are no obvious re-

placements in the current squad.

He’s a steadying influence on the young back division and knows his role well.

Meanwhile, the New Zealand side were unable to stage their captain’s run at the match venue yesterday, with Suncorp Stadium off limits to protect the turf.

Frequent showers have hit the Queensland capital since Wednesday night, with heavy downpours predicted for this evening.

Instead the Kiwis trained at Brisbane Norths, the club that was once the home to Mark Graham and Graham Lowe in the early 1980s.

The Kiwis looked sharp in their final run, going through various back line drills and some close quarter skills work.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Communication not only becomes more important today but a lot easier, making the Moon’s return to your relationship sector fortuitous to say the least.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) With the space of a few hours a smart head for money and an intuitive read on work matters kicks in, giving you an edge on the income front.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Mercury’s return to your sign turns a situation where your heart is already looking ahead to one where your head is engaged as well.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Whether you’re mentally, physically or spiritually exhausted time to sit and spend daydreaming, navel gazing and reflecting is becoming more appealing.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With the Moon gone from your income sector hold onto the nose for money and clues to future opportunities this leaves you with.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) A nose for money kicks in just as your professional year steps up a gear, with a chance to get your head in the game and gain an edge.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) As Mercury joins Venus in an adventurous part of your chart this puts even more focus on a growing wanderlust, curiosity and adventure.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The coming weeks are likely to define your relationship expectations and the path your relationships will take over the coming year.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Mercury returns to your relationship sector, where over the coming months he’s set to completely transform your ability to communicate.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Things all of a sudden become more professionally focused, as the Moon returns to your career sector and Mercury to your work sector.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Where the planet of love has been making matters of the heart a priority, you have the support needed to give your heart a voice.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Over recent weeks home has been where your heart is, but Mercury’s return today makes this where your head is as well.

Big first and last quarters saw United claim a 27-18 win over Collegiate in the premier netball competition last night.

United started strong and came home even stronger to secure their first win, while Methven secured a 29-15 point win over Hampstead, retaining the challenge trophy.

On a chilly evening United produced an exciting display of netball, starting strongly and maintaining a lead throughout. They came out firing, scoring the first three goals of the game in rapid succession.

United carried their momentum throughout the first quarter, managing to maintain a four goal lead by the time the whistle blew.

Collegiate upped their defence in the second quarter, reducing United’s lead to three goals by half time.

By the third quarter it appeared Collegiate had found their feet, but they still couldn’t seem to inch ahead of their competitors.

United utilised the short ball and found space in the circle in the fourth quarter, which proved crucial as they scored six consecutive goals, extending their lead to nine.

United coach Anne Gilbert said the match was a good one, and she was pleased to see how calm her team remained throughout.

“It was really good they didn’t panic and they just were very composed, that’s good for such a young team,” she said.

While Gilbert admitted she didn’t think the team’s court play was as good as last week’s she said she was pleased with the shooting.

Alyce Lysaght and Stephanie Polson worked well in the first half, before Caitlin Adlam moved into goal shoot to partner with Polson for the remainder of the game.

In the remaining premier match Ashburton College handed defending champions Celtic their second loss of the season with a 19-15 win.

In senior A it was wins for Hampstead B, Rakaia A and College B.
