■ ASHBURTON CEMETERIES

■ PROBLEM GAMBLING

Sensitive approach to grave decorations

Gaming machines ‘most harmful’

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When it comes to graveside memorials, the Ashburton District Council is taking an open minded approach across the district’s cemeteries.

The Palmerston North City Council plans to take a tough line with families who choose to decorate graves with trinkets and “funny coloured items” and glitter and it’s earned itself an outpouring of outrage from grieving families.

Yes, there is often an array of coloured flowers, solar powered lights, windmills and trinkets on some graves, but council open spaces manager David Askin said the council generally takes a sympathetic approach to the decorations.

“Whatever we do with this we’re between a rock and a hard place.

We try to accommodate everyone and everyone’s needs, but inevitably we’ll always upset someone,” he said.

Mr Askin said there were no indications the council planned to get tough on grave decorations and in some ways he anticipates the variety of trinkets could change or increase with the district’s growing multi-culturalism.

“It’s a very sensitive issue and we try to be pretty sensitive about it too.”

The only issues the council has been forced to deal with is when a family plants a garden around a grave.

“These become a problem because they spread onto other

David Askin graves and onto the lawns.

“We’re a lawn cemetery and we need to be able to mow around the graves,” he said.

“It’s very personal what people choose to put on graves. We usually just go with it as it’s often a recent death where people are doing it as part of the grieving process and then down the track it stops.

“We do, however, have to have some standards.”

If there were any complaints made about the district’s cemeteries it was around graves sinking and the council dealt with this as part of its normal maintenance by filling and regrassing plots.

From the council’s point of view, its greatest issues arose with graves that were not maintained by families and fell into disrepair.

There had, however, he said, been a significant number of older graves that had been repaired on the back of an upsurge in interest in family history, Mr Askin said.

A lack of clients and support programmes for problem gambling is creating an illusion that Ashburton does not have a gambling problem.

However, Problem Gambling Foundation marketing and communication director Andree Froude said although there are no Ashburton clients currently on the books, that is not an indication of decreasing gambling rates in the district.

She said people will generally only refer themselves when they reach rock-bottom and have lost their job or a relationship due to gambling.

Gaming machines, she said, were still the most harmful form of gambling.

“Pokies are the most harmful ways of gambling and they’re harmful because they are addictive and they’re designed to be addictive,” she said.

Froude said the number of people who played the pokies was decreasing, however, and that about 40 per cent of money spent on them came from a small number of problem gamblers.

Simon McDonnell, Ashburton MSA manager, said his club had a couple of ways of dealing with problem gamblers.

The club’s gambling room has 18 gaming machines as well as TAB services on site.

McDonnell said they trained all staff to look for signs of people who had a harmful gambling problem and by law they were required to have someone on site at all times who was trained to deal with the issue.

When it comes to a club member who may have a gambling addiction there are a couple of options to help them before it becomes financially damaging.

One option is that a person can be asked to leave the gambling area if they are suspected of having a problem.

McDonnell said he personally talks to people who are suspected of having a problem

and tries to approach it as sensitively as possible.

Another option is that club members can self-ban themselves from using any of the gambling facilities.

McDonnell said a club member would come to them and express their desire to stop using the machines.

They will then sign a document which means if bar staff

see the person on any of the machines or in the gambling area, they can be asked to leave.

Froude said the Problem Gambling Foundation strongly supported venues that provided the option for people to self-ban.

McDonnell said there were currently six people in Ashburton who had this arrangement with the MSA.

■ RAKAIA MEDICAL CENTRE

More permanent staff for Rakaia Medical Centre

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Rakaia community broke out in applause after learning their medical centre will have some more permanent staff.

By the end of the year Rakaia Medical Centre will have two new doctors and a new practice manager, who all plan to stay for a long time.

A new doctor and practice manager joined the team in June and have been working away with the community, at the end of October another doctor will be coming on board.

At a community meeting on Wednesday members of the community met with members of the medical centre trust and met the new practice manager.

Christine Milton came to Rakaia from the UK where she worked for the National Health Service for 38 years, the last 15 of which she was the practice manager for the very busy medical centre.

She arrived in New Zealand in February and began working at the medical centre in

June and Nicky Webster, the trust chairperson, said they were very happy to have her on board.

Milton said she is looking forward to getting to know the community.

Dr Sue Fowlie also joined in June and she is employed by the medical centre and not a locum, meaning she will be staying for longer than six months.

At the end of October Doctor Richard Williams will be coming on board to take over from Doctor Gus Van Buuren who has worked at the medical centre as a 12 month appointment.

Dr Williams has been hired by the trust and will be staying on board permanently.

Webster said they are really excited to have him joining them and it will be good to have some stability and security for the community.

■ HOTEL ASHBURTON

Hotel moves into private hands

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The name on the ownership papers might change, but it will be business as usual as the Hotel Ashburton moves from Ashburton Trust hands into private ownership.

As part of its drive to divest itself of its businesses and assume a landlord-only role, the trust has sold off both Speight’s Alehouse and The Somerset Grocer. The Hotel Ashburton’s sale now leaves it with just the Tinwald Tavern, bottle store and motels still on the market.

The hotel has been sold to the Whittaker family who have a solid background in the hospitality industry, said trust chief executive Robert Reid.

Peter Whittaker, his daughter Georgina and her partner Sheldon Bell have owned the Rockpool Bar and Restaurant in Christchurch for many years. They also own the New Orleans Hotel in Arrowtown and Micky Finns in Christchurch.

“They’ve got a great background in hospitality and they’ve got great skills,” Reid said.

Ownership of the hotel is expected to transfer on November 1

and in the lead up the new owners will be working with the trust to provide certainty for staff.

“It is the desire of both parties to do this as quickly as possible,” he said.

Conditions in the sale and purchase agreement ensured the business would continue in a similar way, although, inevitably the new owners would put their own touch and own DNA on the project, Reid said.

The trust board met with staff yesterday to release details of the sale and offer reassurances around employment.

“You can’t run a hotel without staff, staff who know the hotel,” he said.

Throughout the sale process, the trust had gone to great lengths to ensure staff were kept informed and given reassurances over employment, trust board chair Alister Lilley said.

“We’re very conscious that this has been a very difficult time for our people and they have my deepest respect for the way they’ve worked with us. It’s never easy. The good thing is now it gives staff and the community confidence that the hotel will be

there going forward,” he said.

With the sale agreement now signed there would also be assurances for people with bookings.

That agreement contained clauses that would ensure the facilities offered now would continue to be offered.

Throughout negotiations with the sale of each business, the trust board had been focused on honouring employment obligations with its staff, Lilley said.

The hotel’s Superliquor store will be sublet to Harjit Singh who owns several bottle stores around Canterbury.

■ LABOUR MP VISITS

In brief

Track redesignation mooted

Additional payment The Hamilton City Council has confirmed it will make an additional $80,000 payment to the Kudeweh family. Samantha Kudeweh was killed by tiger Oz in his enclosure at Hamilton Zoo in September last year. The council was sentenced in the Hamilton District Court two weeks ago. This week, Kudeweh’s widower Richard said the extra $80,000 would set the children up for the future. The council said it would not make any further comment.

A proposal to redesignate Thompsons Track as a state highway has been put on the table.

Labour member for Dunedin North David Clark was in Mid Canterbury accompanying Labour’s Rangitata candidate Jo Luxton yesterday, when the topic of road infrastructure was raised during a visit with Ashburton mayor Angus McKay. Thompsons Track, which serves as an alternate heavy traffic route between Rakaia and Mayfield, is also a gateway to Mt Hutt and popular with tourists.

As a result of the high use potholes are a frequent hazard and the source of many complaints.

Under the current regime the burden of maintaining Thompsons Track falls heavily on the district’s ratepayers.

Luxton’s proposal would see the road redesignated as a state highway, transferring the high cost of maintenance to central government. The Ashburton District Council has at times topped up the government’s contribution to ensure road safety.

In return the Ashburton District Council would assume responsibility for State Highway 72, commonly known as the scenic route, which skirts around the Mid Canterbury foothills and carries a larger volume of lightweight tourist traffic.

Searchers thanked Police commissioner Mike Bush has acknowledged the efforts of the Whitianga community and his police staff in the four-day long search for missing Auckland man Luke Cochrane. The 19-yearold was last seen leaving the Whitianga Fire Station about 10.30pm on Saturday, sparking a search and rescue operation.

His body was eventually found in a waterway off Aquila Dr, just a few hundred metres from the fire station.

Sheep-cat goes global Labour candidate Jo Luxton for the Rangitata electorate and Dunedin North MP David Clark were in Mid Canterbury yesterday.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 300916-AK-045 Clark said the overall cost of roading was crippling regional development in many areas, including Mid Canterbury which has one of the country’s most extensive roading networks.

“Sixty-three per cent of regional road funding comes through

petrol tax and road user charges but only 52 per cent of that goes back to the regions,” he said.

“When you consider the contribution the regions make to the economy, injecting more funding into infrastructure like roading is a no-brainer.”

Luxton and Clark also visited Hinds Primary School to discuss the changing nature of the community and its impact on rural schools, took a tour of South Pacific Seeds and met with Business Mid Canterbury CEO Jeremy Adamson.

■ LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS

Voter interest remains high with 7 days to go By sue NewMaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Voter interest remains high in this year’s local body election in the Ashburton District.

With only 7 days until polls close at noon on October 8, 6323 votes out of a possible 21,774 have already been cast.

And at a 29.04 per cent return rate, that puts the district ahead

of most others in the South Island.

The return rate is significantly higher than in the 2013 election at the same point.

In 2013 with nine days to run, 22 per cent of ballot papers had been returned but in 2010 the return rate was higher, 34 per cent.

At stake are 12 seats for dis-

trict councillors across the urban, western and eastern wards, the district’s mayoralty, six seats around the Ashburton Trust meeting table, and positions on Environment Canterbury and the Canterbury District Health Board.

When voting closed in 2013, a last minute surge in returns saw the district hit a 48.9 per

cent return, one of the highest in New Zealand; in 2010 final returns were even higher, 55.46 per cent.

At 29.04 per cent, the Ashburton District is doing better than many of its neighbours – Selwyn, 23.61 per cent, Christchurch City 19.64 per cent, Waimakariri, 21.12 per cent and Timaru, 29.79 per cent.

Goodbye winter - weather analysts say October is set to bring with it possible record-breaking temperatures close to 30 degrees.

WeatherWatch said daytime heat records may be broken for New Zealand as airflows come in from the tropics and Australia’s desert.

MetService meteorologist Claire Flynn said temperatures in the late 20s were possible, but could not be predicted yet with any certainty, she said.

In brief Toddler wins $1m A Christchurch toddler has become the youngest Bonus Bonds winner. The three-year-old had recently returned home from holiday with his family when Bonus Bonds called to announce the boy had won $1 million. “My husband was literally pumping the air when he was on the phone,” the boy’s mother said.

“As soon as he got off and told me, we were running around, so thrilled. It was definitely a jump-up-and-down moment.

“We always thought our boy was really special. And now he’s the youngest Bonus Bonds winner to date,” she said. The oldest Bonus Bonds million-dollar winner is 92 years old.

■ FAIR EXTRAVAGANZA

Crash victim named

Gypsies set to weave magic

By Noah Graham Journalism student

Ten-year-olds tend to shy away from swinging fire through the air but it is a bit different if your family runs a circus.

Dylan Ashton, 10, said she would start her fire exam any day now and she was not scared one bit.

“Not really afraid, more excited.”

Dylan will perform with the rest of her family – mum, dad and twin brothers, Jaz and Dallas – as part of the Ashton Family Circus, one of the shows taking place at the gypsy fair Extravaganza in the

Three men fleeing from an aggravated robbery of a jewellers in Takapuna didn’t get away with a quick change of getaway cars. A member of the public saw them ditch a stolen Subaru and get into another car and was on hand to give a description to police.

The trio, aged 22, 23, and 24 years were stopped a short time later in Hobson Street and were arrested. Police have recovered the stolen jewellery. The three are expected to appear in the North Shore District Court today.

Ashburton Domain this weekend.

Dylan’s father, Royce, a fire juggler himself, said Dylan loved to practice with her poi and would have to show careful control through various dance movements over five minutes when she sat her exam.

Royce said his daughter was great and it would be as safe as it could be with a fire extinguisher and a trained fire safety officer on hand.

After Dylan had passed her exam she would be able to perform in their show, he said.

The Ashton Family Circus is one of several shows to watch at the

Extravaganza along with activities like face painting, sack racing, high striking, tarot reading and a whole range of market stalls, food, arts and crafts and much more.

Extravaganza organiser Mel Berg said there would be plenty of activities on offer for the whole family from noon to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.

She said there would also be an open-mic opportunity for the public between 3-5pm where then can demonstrate their own talents.

Any potential entertainers could just “come down”, all they had to do was ask for her or the

stage staff, she said.

Ivan Berg, Mel’s grandfather, had retired from 25 years of performing in gypsy groups recently but still travelled with them because he loved the lifestyle.

Ivan said he had seen three generations grow up in his time living as a gypsy and he had not seen a performer quite like Dylan.

Royce Ashton said he knew most parents would not allow their child to do dance with fire but thought it was good for kids to challenge themselves.

“It’s good to challenge your children and it’s good to challenge yourself.”

The man who died in a crash in Martinborough on Thursday was a 29-year-old American on his honeymoon. He was Douglas Dietz, from Alexandria, Virginia, police say. The single vehicle crash on Shooting Butts Road happened just after 7am. - NZN

Fault caused fire The cause of a fire that destroyed the Total Plastics factory in west Auckland was electrical, police say. About 100 firefighters battled to contain the fire at the factory in Henderson on Tuesday night.

A scene examination has been carried out and it corroborates information in an inquiry, police said yesterday. Fire investigators said earlier the building did not have sprinklers or an alarm system installed.

■ COMMUNITY HOUSE MID CANTERBURY

Gift a helping hand for community

By Noah Graham Journalism student

The Ashburton community will be better provided for after a generous donation.

A 12-seat mini bus was donated to Community House Mid Canterbury yesterday to celebrate 25 years of continued support for KFC Ashburton by the Ashburton community.

Community House Mid Canterbury acting chairperson Don McLeod said after the community house had changed several locations over the past few years and had just “settled in” to its new address, it was a bonus to have a vehicle that would benefit the local community groups.

Community House Mid Canterbury facility supervisor Katrina Pritchard said the mini bus will help community groups like Safer Ashburton to cater to a wider range of clients.

“We have so many groups that will be able to utilise [the minibus].”

KFC Ashburton franchise co-owner Garry Haskett said they would continue to support Community House and had purchased the minibus from Toyota Ashburton which sold it to them at a discounted price.

Ashburton Toyota branch manager Kevin Opele said they would provide servicing and tyres at no cost to Community House for the next 150,000km.

■ HIGH COURT AUCKLAND

Craig ordered to pay $1.3m Former Conservative Party leader Colin Craig has hinted at an appeal after being ordered to pay Taxpayers’ Union executive director Jordan Williams almost $1.3 million in damages for defaming him.

Eleven jurors sitting in the High Court at Auckland ruled unanimously in favour of Williams on both of the counts of defamation he laid against Craig.

They delivered their verdict about 2.50pm after 10 hours of deliberations across two days.

After the ruling, Craig and his legal team sat in a private room for about half an hour before leaving the court.

Craig then walked outside holding hands with his wife Helen.

He stopped to speak with media briefly. Mrs Craig, standing next to her husband, said she had nothing to say on the ruling.

Craig said he was “obviously rather surprised and disappointed with where we’ve reached today.

I won’t say anything further though, because obviously there’s still legal steps in play.

“So I’ll restrict my comment to

‘very, very surprised and disappointed’ and we’ll just say more as this unfolds.’’

Asked whether he would seek an appeal of the decision, Craig did not answer directly.

“As I understand it, the next issue is simply to put it back to the judge for further consideration.

But that’s with the legal team ...

“Beyond that, we’ll see what happens after that.’’

The first count related to Craig’s remarks during a press conference and the second to comments in a leaflet he sent to 1.6 million households.

Craig was ordered to pay almost $1.3 million in damages.

On count one, the jury ordered $400,000 be paid in compensation caused for the injury to Williams’ reputation and feelings and $90,000 in punitive damages for Craig’s “flagrant disregard” of his rights.

On count two, they ruled Craig pay $650,000 in compensation and $130,000 in punitive damages.

As the verdict was read, Craig and his wife Helen sat quietly while Williams, supported by his mother and other family

A jury has found former Conservative Party leader Colin Craig guilty of defaming Taxpayers’ Union executive director Jordan Williams. members, looked shocked and pleased.

“He’s a lovely guy. He came to see me about the situation – I totally believed him from the start.

I totally believe him now, as did the jury. It’s a great day.’’

Lawyer Ali Romanos – also part of Williams’ legal team – said the

case was the highlight of his career. “It’s been a gruelling year up against a very high-profile law firm and a very high-profile defendant ... we’d like to think justice was served today.’’

Asked for his reaction when the verdict was read out, Romanos replied: “Relief. Relief for Jordan.

He’s had a lot of criticism through the media as to how he treated Rachel.

“But I think, actually, he did what he thought was right at the time – and I think that the jury saw that.’’

McKnight said the “best” reaction inside court was from Williams’ mother.

“She was just so relieved, so delighted and to see his family, it’s absolutely great.”

Williams also issued a statement in which he said: “These proceedings were never something I wanted. However, Mr Craig’s false accusations and public threats to sue me could not go unanswered.

“Of course I am pleased that a jury, having heard all of the evidence, and not just what the media have reported, have made such a finding.”

Surge in burglaries, assaults this year

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL

Brash ‘irrelevant bigot’ Labour MP Grant Robertson has labelled Don Brash “an irrelevant bigot” for fronting a campaign against what a new lobby group perceives as Maori privilege and favouritism. It’s the strongest criticism so far of the former National Party leader since the Hobson’s Pledge Trust announced its formation on Thursday. Dr Brash is one of its founders and says the group will be running a media advertising campaign calling for an end to preferential treatment for Maori. It also wants the Maori roll seats in parliament abolished.

Beetles on a mission

■ NZ CRIME

A surge in people falling victim to burglaries, robbery and assaults are behind an increase in reported crime in New Zealand over the past year.

The official crime statistics for the year ending August were released yesterday, and showed 12,529 more victims than the year before. The increase equates to a 4.8 per cent rise in crime.

It’s more bad news for Police Minister Judith Collins after last month’s crime statistics showed a 2.3 per cent increase in crime in the year to July.

Collins – who recently admitted there aren’t enough police officers and that needed to change – said burglaries continued to be the

In brief

Lightning chaser captures wild Northland weather While some were retreating inside during a thunderstorm in Northland, one woman was looking for the perfect spot to capture footage of some of the 70 lightning strikes which hit the region.

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain hit Northland on Wednesday afternoon causing surface flooding – which prompted warnings for motorists to take care – and swollen rivers which left two people trapped at Piroa Falls while they waited for water levels to go down.

MetService meteorologist Peter Little said 70 lightning strikes were recorded in Northland on Wednesday afternoon and 17.6mm of rain was recorded at Marsden Pt from 4pm to 5pm.

Whangarei Heads woman Anita Hollis had stopped at a friend’s house in Waikaraka on her way to town when the storm hit about 3pm.

“We saw a big black cloud coming in and heard thunder and saw lighting and thought ‘So awesome’. We decided to abort the mission and I was trying to think where we should stop to watch

driving factor behind the worsening crime rate.

Prime Minister John Key has indicated police numbers will increase, but discussions around how many extra officers will be needed are ongoing.

“Police are continuing to place a significant focus on burglaries with the new policy of full attendance at dwelling burglaries so the public can now expect either a constabulary or scene-of-crime officer to attend within a reasonable time,” Collins said yesterday.

“This shows that police are serious about tackling burglary and also sends a clear message to offenders. However, as the policy only went live on 29 August, it will

likely take until December to see what change this policy will have.”

The Statistics New Zealand crime figures released yesterday show: ■ There were 71,439 victimisations related to burglaries – a 15.4 per cent increase from the year ended August last year.

■ Robbery, extortion and related offences also surged by 15.4 per cent, assault victimisations by 8.5 per cent, and sexual assault by 2.6 per cent.

■ Victimisations related to abduction and kidnapping fell by 5 per cent, and theft and related offences dropped by 1 per cent.

A victimisation is defined as “one person experiencing one type of crime”.

Recent polling indicates New Zealand First could hold the balance of power at next year’s election and leader Winston Peters has said a sizeable increase in police numbers will be a bottom line.

Peters said an acceptable number would be between 1000 and 2000 extra police officers rolled out over a number of years.

In March, the Herald’s Hitting Home series revealed that 164 burglaries went unsolved each day in the year to December 3 – a resolution rate of just 9.3 per cent.

■ CAMROSE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Camrose second stage work begins High buyer demand has seen work start on stage two of Methven’s Camrose Estates housing development, just 18 months after stage one was completed.

When the second stage is available, it will add an additional 16 sections to the 45 already completed in what will eventually be a 140 lot subdivision. This stage will come at a cost of around $850,000 and will complete the alignment of Camrose Avenue from Barkers Road to Grace Ireland Drive – Racecourse Road.

Camrose Estates director Andrew Mason said the new development underscored the company’s commitment to the growth of Methven and the Ashburton District.

Camrose Estates is a privately owned company with 15 investors, most from Mid Canterbury. The shareholders also support the Te Puawaitanga Charitable Trust by providing land free of charge so crops can be grown to raise funds. The trust uses the proceeds of the cropping operation to fund Methven’s full time youth worker.

Camrose Estates also supports the proposed aged care facility on land adjoining the estate, developing designs from the outset that allowed for village’s retirement housing and dedicated land that would provide scope for an adjoining aged care facility.

Young girl drops dead A seven-year-old West Coast girl who suddenly died while laughing with her parents may have had an underlying heart condition.

Jordyn Jarvis was sitting in bed talking and laughing when her heart suddenly stopped, Fairfax reported.

Her parents, Lauren Jarvis and Amber Howard, started CPR straight away and called an ambulance to their Greymouth home but she couldn’t be revived.

“One minute she was there and the next minute she was not,” Howard said. “[The paramedics] worked on her for an hour and a half but her heart just stopped and they couldn’t restart it.”

Jordyn had a gastro bug the week of her death, followed by a head cold, but there was no warning anything was seriously wrong.

It is thought she had an undiagnosed heart condition.

Jarvis said her daughter was a popular girl with lots of friends who dreamed of being a singer.

Howard cannot believe her little girl is gone. “It’s so quiet without her. She was always on the go.

The only time she was quiet was when she was drawing pictures or writing.”

Figures reveal size of building boom Official figures have revealed the size of the building boom in New Zealand – with the value of building consents for new homes in the past year topping $10 billion for the first time.

In the year to August, 29, 627 new homes were consented, up 14 per cent from the previous year and the highest total since March 2005.

They had an estimated value of just over $10b – almost a quarter more than a year earlier, according to Statistics NZ figures.

But despite the value of houses being built soaring, and the number consented hitting an 11year high for a month, it remains shy of previous boom periods.

“Consent values are the highest they’ve ever been.

“However, in terms of the numbers we’re still not building quite as many homes as we did around 2004, and are still well short of the building boom in the mid-1970s,” Stats’ business indicators senior manager Neil Kelly said.

Auckland, under pressure with soaring house prices and a shortage of supply, led the way with 9851 new homes consented in the year to August – up 1236 on the previous comparable period.

KEY FIGURES 2834 new consents in August: ■ Comprising 2015 houses; 515 townhouses, flats and units; 232 apartments; 72 retirement village units Regional year on year increases: ■ Auckland - up 229 (31 per cent) to 970 ■ Otago - up 88 (85 per cent) to 192 ■ Waikato - up 81 (35 per cent) to 314 ■ Bay of Plenty - up 75 (53 per cent) to 217 Annual new consents: ■ 29,267 new dwellings – up 14 per cent ■ Comprising 21,188 houses (up 16 per cent); 3946 townhouses, flats, and units (up 9.7 per cent); 2409 apartments (up 8.8 per cent); 2084 retirement village units (up 13 per cent).

lenditarian substitutions make dinnertime delicious Finding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate, fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favourite

recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realise.

Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make everyday dishes

more healthy and delicious.

Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 per cent mushrooms can enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients and trim total calories and fat intake.

The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. If using mince for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture, using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve

or quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry.

Practice your blending technique with these recipes and find more deliciously blended dishes to share with your family at MushroomInfo.com.

Frenchman spreads

message French cyclist Theo Rohfritsch is nearly finished his 14-month journey around the globe to raise awareness for the global water crisis.

On his way through Ashburton he stopped to tell Guardian reporter Noah Graham what it was like.

A

travelling Frenchman and his bamboo bicycle left Ashburton on Tuesday with only the last stretch of his New Zealand journey to go.

Theo Rohfritsch arrived in Ashburton on his bamboo beast “The Mammoth” last Sunday and will continue his ride towards Invercargill, via Bluff, to finish the 1600km cycle around New Zealand which he started in Auckland on September 1.

New Zealand concluded the 21 countries he had travelled through as part of the KPMGsponsored Cycle for Water initiative to raise awareness of the global water crisis.

The 24-year-old holds a masters in science and sustainability and began his journey last July in Toulouse, France, to pedal around the globe with a simple message – “There is no life on Earth without water.”

Rohfritsch rode his bicycle to showcase how reliable nature could be and if people continued as they did, there would be little left of nature to cherish.

After 25,000km carrying Rohfritsch and his bags of possessions The Mammoth showed its fair share of scars with tape littered across the frame, but he is adamant a carbon fibre bike would not have lasted as long.

While he spread the word on his 14-month ride, Rohfritsch had raised almost $17,000 for Hoat Rain Harvester and Ground Water Filters which

would provide clean, drinkable water to more than 1000 students across four of Thailand’s schools.

It was a great feeling to help those who needed it, he said.

His bike was not the only thing damaged by the physical trial of his journey and Rohfritsch’s tired, sunken eyes leaked fatigue, but he never let it stop him.

“It’s a mental thing, really.

“You just have to have the right attitude.”

However, there was one part of the trip that took its toll.

While he cycled through Asia, the notorious, unsanitary food of India quickly hit Rohfritsch, and it hit hard.

He said it was difficult for him to get back on to his bike some days and when he did it was scary.

The thought he was helping people and the planet kept him going, Rohfritsch said.

He could not thank the support from people around the world who housed, fed and gave him a warm shower enough.

Rohfritsch has experienced Kiwi hospitality as well, which even included a family in Ashburton who hosted him Monday night. “The people are really, very nice.”

The message was an important one that people needed to be more aware of and he hoped New Zealand and the world would take better care of their natural resources, Rohfritsch said.

“Water is everything. We all need water.”

Theo Rohfritsch is packed and ready to cycle south on his bamboo bike to complete his ride around New Zealand and the world to raise awareness for the Cycle for Water initiative.

Kevin Opele passed the assessment for the New Zealand Netball Zone Practical Qualification last month.

Heartland to hardwood

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Local sports enthusiasts may recognise Kevin Opele from officiating Heartland rugby matches, but this year he swapped the rugby paddock for the hardwood.

Opele took up netball umpiring in March and progressed rapidly to pass the New Zealand Netball Zone Practical Qualification after being assessed at the South Island Secondary Schools’ Tournament last month.

Opele took a theory test, in which a score of more than 85 per cent was required, before his practical assessment in Nelson.

After 13 years of refereeing rugby matches, Opele cited a new challenge as his motivation for making the switch to netball, while his promise of ‘having a go’ finally came to fruition when the local competition moved indoors at the EA Networks Centre Stadium.

“I said jokingly that if it ever

came indoors that I’d give umpiring a go,” he said.

Opele, who previously coached the Hampstead B netball team, believes that plenty of the skills he learned while refereeing innumerable rugby matches have been transferable to the netball court.

And, while still involved as an assistant referee, he is not missing rugby too much.

“Nah, I don’t miss it – I’ve replaced it with this,” he said.

“A lot is the same; timing, positioning, angles – if you get all of those right in any sport you’ll easily get through it.”

Netball is another sport of a long list that Opele is qualified to officiate having national qualifications in rugby league, union, tag and touch.

A national accreditation in netball is his eventual goal, while continuing to referee fixtures in Mid Canterbury.

Opele is now one of three male

referees involved in local netball, and Mid Canterbury Netball’s Aimee Cosgrove is pleased the district is bucking the national trend.

“We’ve had three this year, which is the first time ever and Kev’s come so far so quickly,” she said.

“We struggle with netball umpires at premier one and premier two levels, so having someone come through so quickly has been awesome.”

In brief What’s in a name?

Stevanja takes the ball from the opponent and passes it to Stevanja, who sent the ball to Stevanja to score and then coach Stevanja celebrated the goal. This scene may seem as a joke, but it is common for Croatia’s Vrcevo club, which played a game last Sunday with 10 players with the same surname. This similarity was a trouble for referees since 15 of the 22 players of this club have the same surname. Coach Zeljko Stevanja pointed out that in some matches a total of 15 players with the surname Stevanja are called up, including three called Ivan.

Boys up for the challenge

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s Under-13 Boys’ Hockey Team is well prepared for the Hatch Cup Tournament in Christchurch next week.

Following tomorrow’s opening ceremony, the action will begin at 8am on Monday with the boys

scheduled to play eight games in six days.

Mid Canterbury will have their work cut out in a highly competitive pool.

They will first lock horns with Bay of Plenty in their opening tie, followed by Canterbury B in the afternoon fixture.

Mid Canterbury’s group also features 2015 champions Auckland, Wellington and Southland.

Mid Canterbury will be out to better their joint 15th place finish from last year’s tournament in Timaru.

They will utilise the experience of six players that have played

at the Hatch Cup before, while Blake Farr and Todd White return to the fray for the third time.

Team coach said Joyce Read the boys have trained well for some challenging encounters.

“The team are very fit and have a depth of skill, so anything is possible on the day,” she said.

Loss of Cullen huge setback for Silver Ferns The Silver Ferns have been dealt a blow on the eve of the Constellation Cup with Kayla Cullen ruled out for the rest of the season with a foot injury.

The injury will see the versatile midcourter miss next month’s

four-test series against the Australian Diamonds along with the the Fast5 Netball World Series.

Cullen battled a foot injury earlier in the season and was sidelined for a month of the Mystics’ ANZ Championship campaign.

It is expected Cullen will require a further 6-8 weeks of rehabilitation.

The loss is a major setback for the Ferns, with Cullen having cemented her place in the starting line-up at wing defence, where

her speed and athleticism makes her an ever-present threat.

Cullen’s withdrawal from the team comes as they prepare to welcome shooter Maria Tutaia and defender Anna Harrison back into the line-up.

The 30-year-old’s position in the starting line-up for both club and country remains a hot topic, but the interim manager has spoken to the forward to tell him he will stay as skipper.

■ HALF MARATHON BID

In brief

iPhone constant companion I

have just left the movie theatre after spending the past couple of hours watching Bridget Jones’ Diary with some of my colleagues (brilliant – Oh I am such a girl!) and now I am listening to the soundtrack of the movie to keep this light feeling of content and fun going for as long as I can while I am writing my column …

I think this will be the soundtrack I will run on come Sunday, when it is long-run time.

Yes I run with music, music fuelling my ears and I love it!

Do you?

Well, music sets me into a different world where there is nothing else but me, nature and great songs ...

Me time!

We all need it, don’t we?

From Billie Holiday to Nina Simone, Bruce Springsteen, Carla Bruni (she is a French singer who married the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy), Mandi Mapes, Stereophonics to cello suites (yes I find the cello enchanting!) and more, the melodies help me escape my day-to-day life, go into dreamland and run for longer.

Not that I am complaining about my life, I have a great job, a great life in Ashburton and a great “honey”!

But running with music relaxes me and helps me switch off.

When my brain stops working, I am free of thoughts, worries and anything else that may be in my mind and it feels good!

I wouldn’t run on “boom

EMMA ON THE RUN

boom” songs (fast-tempo music) but only on soft songs.

I don’t know if it is because I am training for a half marathon (so a long distance run, not a sprint) but I couldn’t run on loud, fast-paced songs.

What do you run on?

I need music that calms me down, not agitates me!

Maybe I would run faster on fast-paced songs, but it doesn’t really rock my boat to do so …

The music also keeps me going and helps me forget about the distance I have to do.

Before I know it, it has been 2km, 4km and then 6km.

It distracts me (at least for a

while!) from the tiredness of my legs, the soreness of my Achilles and of any thoughts of wanting to stop running.

I read an article the other day stating that research has shown music can increase endurance by 10 to 15 per cent.

I couldn’t agree more.

In my case, I have seen myself running longer because I was busy listening to the music.

I would have given up during a few of my runs if it wasn’t for the music.

It is the best companion when you run on your own!

I know some people hate running with music, but I swear by it.

You should try it if you haven’t yet.

It may make you want to go for a run and enjoy it, like it does to me!

PS: After my successful 9km run last Sunday, I am tackling 11km this weekend.

I’d better charge my iPhone to the max!

■ CRICKET

Bright start for Black Caps in Eden Gardens New Zealand delivered arguably their best session of the series, and against the odds, on the opening morning of the second test against India at Eden Gardens yesterday.

They reduced India to 57-3 after Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss.

Matt Henry led the way in his fifth test, and first since playing Australia at Christchurch in February.

He was recalled in place of Ish Sodhi, on the promise the wicket would provide extra bounce and carry.

A local source spoke to Sourav Ganguly, now president of the

Ashburton Guardian 17

Cricket Association of Bengal, who expected those attributes from a wicket normally conducive to spin.

Henry relished his chance with the new ball and picked up openers Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay in an opening spell of 6-214-2.

He was unrelenting with his line and length, forcing the batsmen to play.

Dhawan, returning to the Indian line-up in place of the injured Lokesh Rahul, was drawn into a cut shot outside off stump and played on.

Vijay nibbled at a ball that was seaming away from him and

feathered an edge to BJ Watling.

Trent Boult followed with the dismissal of Kohli who lashed at a ball pitched about two sets of stumps outside off.

He wasn’t to the pitch of the ball and Tom Latham grabbed a searing chance at gully.

The rewards were deserved for spells from both open bowlers which were unrelenting with their pace and aggression.

Pressure built up from both ends, even when Neil Wagner, Mitchell Santner and Jeetan Patel were subsequently introduced into the attack.

In contrast, No.3 Cheteshwar Pujara looked largely untrou-

bled on his way to 31 not out.

He continued the form which brought him innings of 62 and 78 in Kanpur and centuries in his previous two Ranji Trophy matches.

He produced the shot of the session, off-driving Henry in the sixth over with perfect timing and a high left elbow which even had the press box applauding.

The start to the match was overshadowed by Kane Williamson getting ruled out of the test with a viral illness, a massive blow to New Zealand’s chances given his mana as the world’s No.2 ranked test batsman.

Hayne now a golfer Golf could be the next sport on Jarryd Hayne’s list of dreams, with the Gold Coast fullback set to play in a pro-am event in Fiji in October.

But this time NRL fans can likely rest easy as the code-hopper isn’t believed to be considering a future in the sport - he’s just playing as a VIP guest ahead of the Fiji International, as part of an ambassadorial role on October 5. The NRL-turned-NFL-turnedrugby-sevens-turned-NRL star will play alongside Steven Bowditch to help raise money for the Cyclone Winston recovery efforts.

Paddon has high hopes Kiwi Rally driver Hayden Paddon is hoping history can repeat itself ahead of this weekend’s rally of France. Paddon comes into the event in third spot, 75 points behind Sebastian Ogier. Paddon says the roads in France are more like a race track so he is expecting some consistency with the surface.

He says based on their track record last year they struggled in the previous round in Germany then came right in Corsica so hopes for the same this year.

Rose loses $100 bet Justin Rose was unbeaten in the last Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, but he’s already tasted defeat at Hazeltine – to an American spectator. After Andy Sullivan and Rory McIlroy had failed to make a putt on the eighth green during a practice round, David Johnson from North Dakota shouted that he could make it from around 20 metres. Rose called the man’s bluff, with Rose even betting him $100 that he would miss. However, after Rose placed the 100 dollar bill on the green, Johnson promptly holed the putt to spark wild celebrations and earn himself high-fives.

Girls make tourney team

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury was well represented at the recent South Island Secondary Schools’ Girls’ Rugby Tournament in Christchurch.

Local players turned out for the Canterbury A and Hanan Shield teams that went on to place first and second respectively.

Te Moananui triplets Erana, Chloe and Jamee were joined by fellow Ashburton College students Aidan Elvines, Kate Donald and Piper Jones in the second place finishing Hanan Shield team.

The Hanan side – which consisted of North Otago, South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury’s finest – saw off Otago 22-7 in their opening clash, before falling 15-12 to Canterbury A in a tightly contested encounter.

They then made light work of Canterbury Development for a 41-0 win and toppled Southland 12-0.

Meanwhile, Canterbury A, which featured local players Melanie Puckett and Jaidyn Busch, were also in near-perfect form.

After beating Southland 8-5 they downed the Hanan Shield team 15-12.

Wins over Otago (31-12) and a draw with Tasman (12-12) followed to leave the tournament perfectly poised for a thrilling final day.

With one match to go, Tasman topped the ladder on 14 points followed by Canterbury A on 13 and Hanan on 11 points.

Canterbury would lock horns with Canterbury Development in their last outing while the Hanan Shield side took on the formidable Tasman.

To dislodge Tasman at the top, Canterbury needed to score more than 60 points and take the win.

But if Tasman scored four tries against Hanan, they would claim tournament honours.

Jamee Te Moananui, Erana Te Moananui, Melanie Puckett, Chloe Te Moananui and Jaidyn Busch (absent) were selected for the South Island Secondary Schools’ Girls’ Rugby Tournament team.

Canterbury A dealt Canterbury Development a 75-0 mauling, but had to wait for Tasman and Hanan’s final result.

In a drama-filled affair that featured four yellow cards, Tasman and Hanan were all-square at 12-12 with five minutes remaining.

But a late try, which was then calmly converted by Ashburton College’s Donald, gave Hanan a 19-12 win and, in doing so, Canterbury A the tournament title.

The final day’s results put Canterbury A at the top with 20 points followed by the Hanan Shield team on 19 while Tasman

fell to third on 16 points.

Of the Mid Canterbury players Erana, Chloe and Jamee Te Moananui of the Hanan team, and Canterbury A’s Melanie Puckett and Jaidyn Busch were selected for the South Island Secondary Schools’ Girls’ Rugby Tournament team.

‘Build a bigger stadium’ Ian Ritchie, the chief executive of the Rugby Football Union, has rejected the notion that Twickenham match revenues should be shared with southern-hemisphere opponents, suggesting that they should “go build a stadium” if they want to improve their finances.

It has long been a complaint of New Zealand and Australia that they suffer financially by comparison with the European powerhouses such as France and England, and New Zealand have made big play of the market value of the All Blacks.

There have been reports that a fee of up to £3 million might be demanded for games outside the traditional international window.

Ritchie, though, has left them in no doubt as to the possibility of sharing the money from a test at Twickenham – around £10 million.

“Of course they say they want more money, but there is nothing to stop Australia or New Zealand building a stadium,” said Ritchie.

“Go build a stadium if you want to increase your revenue growth.

“We have all been through it here in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and ourselves, incurring debt on stadium build in order to reap the benefits.

“We didn’t get anything out of going to Australia in June.

“And ditto from the Lions.

“I can’t see the case for arguing the other way.

“Of course we should get a return on Twickenham from the money that the RFU has put in.

“We keep what we make to put back into the game.

“As for their lack of sustainability, I don’t see a lot of problems for them in terms of our difficulty in beating southern hemisphere teams.”

Boks ‘still have aura’

McKenzie gets his chance The All Blacks incubation period is over for Damian McKenzie, who is poised to make one of the more tantalising test debuts.

An excitement machine at Super Rugby level this season, the Chiefs utility back finally wins promotion with a spot on the New Zealand reserves bench against Argentina in Buenos Aires tomorrow morning.

The only squad member not to get any field time this year, the 21-year-old finally gets his chance in a much-changed side.

Coach Steve Hansen says he didn’t want the youngster thrown into test action until rough patches had been ironed out.

“I’d say he’s pretty excited but the reason you have to wait is you’ve got to be ready when we put you out there,” Hansen said.

“It’s about doing the stuff off the field as well as on it and he’s been a lot better with his homework.”

Hansen says there is no shortage of self-belief from former age group star McKenzie, who topped numerous attacking statistics across the five months of Super Rugby action.

His parents will be on hand at what is expected to be a hostile

Damian McKenzie has been an excitement machine in Super Rugby.

Jose Amalfatani Stadium and are as much in the dark as anyone about when and how Hansen

chooses to employ the elusive attacker.

“It will be a shock to his system

as it is every guy who plays his first Test,” Hansen said.

“You’ve got to make sure they’re mentally capable of coping with it.”

McKenzie’s likely debut coincides with several other players whose test careers have been forged off the reserves bench earning starts.

Halfback TJ Perenara, flanker Liam Squire and lock Patrick Tuipulotu get their chance from the outset, along with surprise centre selection Anton LienertBrown.

Highlanders team-mates Aaron Smith and Malakai Fekitoa have missed selection altogether, with Hansen anxious to manage players who have had a glut of rugby this year.

“There’s a lot of change for a team that doesn’t change much but there’s a lot of good reasons for why we need to do it,” Hansen said.

“We’re going to go round the world twice; we’ve got a 24-hour flight to South Africa with no recovery time and we’re going to play another seven test matches so at some point we’ve got to play these people and trust them.”

Otago chasing historic Eden Park win Auckland are still far from perfect but their 44-38 win over the Steamers was a step in the right direction as they contemplate the Championship leaders back on Eden Park tonight.

The prospect of losing three matches in a row at their fortress is unthinkable, and they do have some pack reinforcements in the shape of loosehead prop Sam Prattley and No 8 Steven Luatua, both back from shoulder and ankle injuries respectively.

“It’s good to have Dolph (Luat-

ua) back, not just with his leadership and presence, but also the fact he was playing really well before he got injured.

“We just need as many troops back on deck as we can get,” says Auckland coach Nick White.

Despite another dusty start last Sunday against Bay of Plenty, he felt the overall display, led by a Rieko Ioane hat-trick, was “better”.

“We held onto the ball and when we did offload it stuck. It’s not perfect but we have to con-

tinue to build,” adds White.

Pryor Collier returns to the wing, while lock Michael Fatialofa is out with a niggle.

Otago are coming off their first defeat of the season, a 4534 reverse to a classy Canterbury side, and are set to hand a debut, off the bench, to 2014 NZ Schools prop Jonah Aoina, while hooker Seko Pole, a 2013 NZ Barbarians Schools rep, will make his first start of 2016 in place of the injured Sam Anderson-Heather.

Loose forward Naulia Dawai, who crossed for a hat-trick in the corresponding clash in 2015, a narrow 35-29 victory for the Aucklanders at Eden Park, will come off the bench, and he knows his way to the line, having scored four tries so far in 2016.

“Otago play good footy.

“If we drop the ball, their turnover attack is good.

“They are coming off a loss, so they’ll be keen to fix up their performance,” says White. - NZME

Suggestions the Springboks might have lost their aura are complete rubbish, according to Wallabies coach Michael Cheika.

After three consecutive defeats, the South Africans are under intense local pressure and scrutiny as they prepare to host Australia in Sunday morning’s test at Loftus Versfeld.

The result itself will have no bearing on the Rugby Championship but it is a crucial match for both teams – the Wallabies need a win to keep momentum rolling ahead of upcoming clashes against Argentina and New Zealand, while the Springboks and their coach Alister Coetzee need a win to keep their increasingly vocal critics at bay.

But Cheika flatly dismissed talk they are no longer the intimidating opposition they once were.

“I’d say that’s coming from people who have never had to go on the field against them,” Cheika said. “It’s easy to say that when you haven’t played against them ... they’re one of the traditional powerhouses of world rugby and that doesn’t go away.

“All that other stuff is rubbish.

“I don’t think that the last two games that we have played count for much and I don’t think what they’ve done in the last couple of games counts for much either.

“I’m sure we’re going to see the best Springbok team and we’ve got to bring our game as well.

“We’ll see where we end up.”

Coetzee has swung the selection axe, dropping halves Faf de Klerk and Elton Jantjies for Rudy Paige, who will make his starting debut, and his former Bulls teammate, the experienced Morne Steyn.

Pat Lambie also takes over at fullback for his first Test since suffering concussion in June’s series opener against Ireland, and while the Springbok pack is unchanged, there are a further five changes on the bench, “(Lambie) will give them an extra piece of security in the halves as well, he’s a quality player,” Cheika said.

Hampstead ‘unstoppable’

Experience ‘counts for nothing’ on the day

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Hampstead’s under-13 rugby team were crowned undefeated champions at the recent Junior Rugby Festival in Queenstown.

Hampstead dealt Hornby a 29-0 hiding in game one before seeing of Australian team East Wallaroos 34-5 in their afternoon fixture.

Timaru Harlequins were next up and Hampstead’s sterling run of form continued with a 31-7 victory.

Hampstead then booked their place in the final with a 33-0 win over Brothers Rugby Club from across the Tasman.

Hampstead met East Wallaroos for the second time in the final, but there was to be no revenge for the Australians as Hampstead took a convincing 38-7 win.

Co-coach Chad Stewart credited his team for their attitude on and off the rugby paddock.

“They represented the club really well and it was quite impressive to see after four games they had enough left over to win the final,” he said.

“They played really well throughout the tournament considering they haven’t played together in four or five weeks.”

Hampstead’s under-13s were unbeaten throughout the Junior Rugby Festival in Queenstown.

Warburton leads the race for Lions captaincy Sam Warburton will captain Wales in their four-match autumn Test series and in next year’s Six Nations in a significant departure by the men in red before the Lions tour to New Zealand next summer.

Warburton led the Lions in Australia in 2013 and, with Warren Gatland taking a year-long sabbatical from Wales before the 10-match trip to New Zealand for which he will be head coach, is the leading contender for the armband, closely pursued by England’s Dylan Hartley who has enjoyed a career resurrection under Eddie Jones.

Wales normally delay naming their captain until after the squad to prepare for the autumn series or the Six Nations has been announced, with Warburton admitting this month that he usually found out through the media.

But Rob Howley, who has taken over as head coach from Gatland for the season, has already spoken to him.

“Sam is a great captain and is the best player to take us forward”, said Howley.

“He has captained the Lions once and I am sure he is in their thoughts again, but the challenge

for every player is to do well in November and the Six Nations.

“You have to perform for your country to be in contention for next summer.

“There is no doubt that the rest of us in the Six Nations have to respond to what England have achieved under Eddie Jones.

“He said the other day that, given their playing population, they should be winning the tournament every year and we all have to do something about that.

“They have got their house in order under Eddie and we look forward to playing them in Cardiff next year.”

Sydney coach John Longmire has discounted their overwhelming AFL grand final experience as an advantage, saying it is only what happens on the day that counts.

The clash with the Western Bulldogs will be the Swans’ third grand final since 2012.

By contrast, the Bulldogs’ selected 22 features no players with AFL grand final experience – the first time that has happened since St Kilda in 1997.

“Not necessarily – I don’t really subscribe to that,” Longmire said when asked if their experience was an asset.

“Once the ball bounces, it’s just about who executes their plan the best for the longest.

“Both teams go in with enormous faith in (their) systems and both teams go in with really good form.

“You have a look at the Doggies’ finals form ... it’s outstanding.

“That recent form is what you look at and that carries more weight, I think, going into the game.”

Sydney won an epic 2012 grand final, but Hawthorn bounced them in the first half two years later for an emphatic win.

Longmire said their most recent grand final highlighted how the Swans must be on their guard against the Bulldogs.

“You have to be at your best – always – and anything less than that, you leave yourself open,” he said “There’s no room for not being at your best.

“That’s the excitement of it, being at this time of year ... to have that in front of us tomorrow.

“It’s the challenge that both teams are looking forward to, being at their best for the longest tomorrow.”

Fifita key for Sharks

By DaviD Skipwith Tomorrow’s NRL grand final pits the game’s modern day history makers Melbourne against would-be history breakers Cronulla.

The Storm head into their sixth grand final since their inception 19 years ago and despite being stripped of their 2007 and 2009 premierships their name remains synonymous with success.

The Sharks, perennial battlers in comparison, have gone half a century with nothing to show for it despite grand final appearances in 1973, 1978 and 1997.

Under the relentless coaching of Craig Bellamy and guided on-field by 300-game duo, captain Cameron Smith and Dally M award-winning halfback Cooper Cronk, Melbourne are a model of professionalism.

While the 2010 salary cap scandal has blighted their phenomenal run over the past decade, this year’s minor premiers continue to set the standards which all other clubs seek to emulate.

The Sharks, on the other hand, arrive at ANZ Stadium after two miserable years that saw them finish the 2014 season with the wooden spoon and their reputation in tatters following the Asada scandal, while also having dragged themselves out of bankruptcy and numerous off-field dramas.

A long-awaited title win would provide redemption for Shane Flanagan’s side but if Cronulla

Andrew Fifita has the X-factor that Cronulla will need tomorrow.

are to overturn history and break their premiership drought they will need to find a way to unlock Melbourne’s almost water-tight defence.

The Storm are masters of percentage football and have conceded the least points in 2016 (12.5 per game), along with the least handling mistakes (7.7), least linebreaks (2.7) and least missed tackles (19.5).

They also control the football

better than any side, boasting a completion rate of 81.9 per cent.

While they stand accused of being predictable, knowing how Melbourne will play and stopping them from doing it are two different things.

They are near-perfect both in how they execute their plays and how they defend their line which will leave little for the Sharks to feed off.

Both sides possess big forward packs but in fiery front-rower Andrew Fifita the Sharks have one player with the X-factor to worry the Storm.

The NSW forward can bend the line and provide quick play the balls but also has the footwork to trouble defenders and a dangerous offload that can create havoc on second phase.

If Fifita and the likes of captain Paul Gallen can get the Sharks moving forward and provide their halves Chad Townsend and James Maloney with space they have the muscle and pace in their back three Ben Barba, Valentine Holmes and Sosaia Feki to do the finishing.

And it is out wide where the Storm have been most vulnerable this year, with their defence tending to jam in to leave them exposed out near the sidelines, where they have conceded 32 of 55 tries.

Both teams have six players with grand final experience and in Maloney the Sharks have a proven big game playmaker, but the star-studded Storm will be prepared for every contingency and are experts in closing out tight results.

A fast start is imperative for the Sharks and if they can post early points they could catch the Storm on the hop.

But should the men in purple have the edge in the early stages of the second-half it would take some inspired play to run them down.

- NZME

Maloney popular pick for Clive Churchill He doesn’t stand much taller than the legendary Clive Churchill.

Now Cronulla five-eighth James Maloney is firming to win the prestigious award named in honour of The Little Master.

Churchill stood 175cm, Maloney 176cm.

Maloney has firmed into third favourite to win man-of-thematch honours in the grand final - and take home one of the rugby league’s most sought-after awards, the Clive Churchill Medal And two Canberra legends

– Bradley Clyde and Laurie Daley – have backed Maloney for Churchill Medal honours.

Cooper Cronk and Cam Smith are joint $5 favourites with Maloney next on the betting line at $8. Then follows Ben Barba, Paul Gallen and Michael Ennis ($11).

“If Cronulla is to win, Jimmy will have to play well,” Daley said.

“Jimmy will have to get his side around the park and control the game and come up with some big plays.

“I am assuming that he’ll be ready to go”.

Gidley stars for Wolves Former NRL star Kurt Gidley has played an influential role as Warrington beat St Helens 18-10 in a fast and furious semi-final to become the first team through to the Super League grand final. Saints were on course for an eighth successive win at the Halliwell Stadium after scoring eight points in two minutes before the interval, but the Wolves dominated the second half to reach their third decider.

The League leaders will now meet the winners of the second semifinal between Wigan and Hull at Old Trafford on October 8.

Opacic out injured Highly rated Brisbane rookie Tom Opacic will miss the start of the 2017 NRL season after being told he must have two shoulder reconstructions. Opacic, 22, was braced for surgery after carrying a shoulder injury into Brisbane’s extra-time semi-final loss to North Queensland. However, the young gun was surprised to learn he also required an operation on his other shoulder after injuring it in the dramatic finals loss in Townsville.

- AAP

Keep calm, says Smith As their 14-year-old rivalry comes to a head, tensions between Cameron Smith and Michael Ennis linger ahead of tomorrow’s NRL grand final. The two veteran No.9s will stand opposite each other one last time before Cronulla rake Michael Ennis hangs up his boots.

Throughout their careers, the two have been contrasting figures – Smith the ultimate statesman while Ennis has earned his reputation as the game’s premier niggler.

Smith predicted Ennis would try to put him off his game during the season decider but vowed not to take the bait.

Support for Williams Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says he couldn’t help but let Sam Williams go to England, believing the NRL halfback deserves to be playing first-grade fulltime.

Williams turned down a one-year offer to stay at the Raiders to take up a deal with Super League outfit Wakefield for 2017. The 25-yearold only played eight games for the Green Machine this year, but stepped up when they needed him most.

Dimitrenko ‘ready to die in the ring’

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

North Canterbury will be Wellington-bound in February to contest the National Indoor Bowls Federations Finals following at outright victory at the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Stadium yesterday.

The Canterbury Federation Indoor Bowls Tournament, which offers qualification to nationals, hosted Mid Canterbury, Canterbury East, Waimate and Canterbury District teams at the McNally Street stadium.

It wasn’t a day to remember for the contingent, with Mid Canterbury finishing bottom of the pile in fifth place.

Alexander Dimitrenko will take a clear weight, size and reach advantage into his fight against Joseph Parker tonight and has stated that he is “ready to die in the ring”.

The 2.01m Dimitrenko tipped the scales at 115.15kg at the Vodafone Events Centre fight venue yesterday, with New Zealander Parker weighing in at 109kg.

There is plenty at stake for the undefeated Parker – most obviously his IBF mandatory world title shot – but there is also plenty on the line for the giant Dimitrenko, who wants to take advantage of a heavyweight division which now seems to be in a constant state of flux.

A win over Parker would shoot him up the rankings and put him in line for a big-money fight against Anthony Joshua.

“I am ready to win this fight,” a fit-looking Dimitrenko said. “I am ready to die in the ring.”

Parker’s reply was: “He’s ready.

I’m ready. Let’s get it on.” - NZME

Grayling joins the exodus

By Duane RangeR The continuing trend of junior drivers wanting to pursue their careers across the Tasman has hit again – this time with the North Island’s leading junior, Sean Grayling.

The 20-year-old, who has been

M8

with Barry Purdon for the last five years, will start working with New South Wales trainer Paul Fitzpatrick at his Camden Stables on October 10.

Grayling will leave Purdon’s employment on October 7 and will have his last New Zealand drives at the Auckland Trotting

Club’s meeting later that night.

He said he was excited about the prospect of working in a new country.

Grayling also liked the idea that there were up to eight meetings a week in New South Wales compared to one, maybe two per week, in the North Island.

Joe Moka, Jacob Wallace, Dylan Ferguson, Fergus Schumacher, Shane Butcher, Nathan Purdon, Emmett Brosnan, Michael Purdon and Michael Blakemore are just some Kiwi juniors who have either departed these shores for Australia, and have remained there, or have returned. - HRNZ

Westland Milk in joint Rolleston venture

BY PAUL MCBETH Westland Milk is putting a $3 million plot of land next to its Rolleston factory into a new joint venture with Hong Kong-listed Ausnutria Dairy to build a new infant formula plant operating under the Pure Nutrition moniker.

The milk processor will take a 40 per cent stake in the Pure Nutrition joint venture company, while Ausnutria will get 60 per cent with the Hong Kong company injecting $4.5 million of cash and loaning $32 million to the subsidiary to build a blending and canning plant at Rolleston, Westland said in a statement.

Construction is expected to kick off soon with completion slated for late next year, adding 30 jobs to the Canterbury town.

The plant’s initial capacity is expected to be about 20 million cans

Westland Milk’s Rolleston factory. of milk formula, or 15,000 tonnes, depending on the product mix.

“Pure Nutrition will, effectively,

be a substantial new customer for Westland Milk Products,” chief executive Toni Brendish said. “In ad-

dition to the direct sales to Ausnutria in China, which will continue, Westland will be the JV’s sole New Zealand supplier of dairy-based powders.”

This week the Hokitika-based milk processor affirmed its forecast cash payout range for the 2016/17 season of between $4.55 and $4.95 per kilogram of milksolids, while warning the global dairy market was still prone to volatility.

As part of the deal with Ausnutria, the Hong Kong firm will buy a minimum 3000 tonnes of infant and toddler nutritional product from Westland in the first year of a five-year supply contract, rising to 5000 tonnes in each of the following four years.

In a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange, Ausnutria said all profits of the joint venture will be reinvested until December 31, 2022, without any distributions

to the shareholders unless they unanimously agree otherwise.

“The directors believe that the joint venture will be an important step for the group to further develop and diversify its milk source and hence enhance its capabilities in the production of infant formula to cater for the anticipated continuous growth of infant formula of the group in the PRC (People’s Republic of China) as well as overseas countries,” Ausnutria said.

“The board believes that the group can also leverage on Westland’s expertise and resources through the establishment of the joint venture in New Zealand.”

Ausnutria processes and sells dairy products under its own brands, primarily in China, but also in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Russia. It also owns a milk processor plant in the Netherlands.

Interest rates – low and going lower?

T

he Reserve Bank reduced the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 0.25 per cent on August 11 to a new low of 2.0 per cent.

This is an attempt to stimulate demand in the economy and boost inflation to within the Reserve Bank’s target of between 1 per cent and 3 per cent, on average, over the medium term.

With inflation currently running at 0.4 per cent, most economic commentators are forecasting a further fall in the OCR in either the September or November Reserve Bank updates.

This is great news for business owners and borrowers, but not good news for holders of bank deposits.

For these investors, should they ride this low return period out and wait for rates to start rising again, or should they consider a different approach to their investment strategy?

Looking at history and similar jurisdictions overseas may help to answer this question. The graph above shows long-term interest rates in the US and Britain from 1820 to 2015.

It shows that the high rates of interest achieved between 1970 and 2007 were out of the ordinary, and the rates we are experiencing today are more in keeping with long-term trends.

Similarly, if we look at a country with monetary policy characteristics close to our own, we can see that the move for interest rates is likely to be down rather

Michael Coleman and Selwyn Sloan MONEY MATTERS

than up. Sweden has a population about twice the size of New Zealand. Its Central Bank has an inflation target of 2.0 per cent (similar to ours), and current inflation is running at 1.1 per cent there. Sweden’s equivalent of our OCR is the Repo rate which is currently at -0.5 per cent. Yes, minus half a per cent!

With rates like this overseas, hopes that a lower OCR in New Zealand would lead to a fall in the New Zealand dollar have been dashed, because our real interest rates (that is, nominal rates less inflation) are still amongst the highest in the world and are attractive to overseas investors. It is clear that further falls in interest rates are more than likely in the short to medium term. Interest rates are also more than likely to be lower for longer.

So what does this mean for investors who have relied on bank deposits to generate the income they need? Keeping their hard-earned savings in the bank is safe, but income generated from savings has fallen by around 65 per cent within the space of a few years.

There are options, but there is no free lunch for investors who may need to take greater risks for the opportunity of higher returns.

Taking higher risk may include investing for longer periods for a better return in fixed interest investments.

It may include investing in higher risk fixed interest securities – for example, in securities issued by companies or banks with a lower credit rating. It may also include investing in equities (shares) that have relatively good dividend streams, such as property companies and power companies.

If more risk is not desired, other options are to reduce your standard of living to match reduced income levels, or to start using capital to meet your living costs.

Reducing standards of living may be hard to do and using capital may need careful planning to ensure capital does not run out before life does.

As with all things in life, a balance of all of these options may be required to meet the current environment of low interest rates.

Move the highway and save local money Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

Y

es it’s easy when you’re an opposition MP to prod and poke the establishment and to come up with off-the-wall ideas, but if you take the time to listen, there’s a lot of commonsense spoken too.

Yesterday Dunedin North MP David Clark was in town. He did the usual tour of businesses and met with business and civic leaders.

When it was suggested that he push the cause of redesignating and re-routing State Highway 72, he was all ears. The local theory put to Clark was that instead of NZTA spending a fortune on the maintenance of a foothills road that’s used most often by tourists, it shift part of that designation on to a much more heavily-used road – by locals and by tourists, Thompsons Track.

And that makes sense. This road is a headache for the Ashburton District Council. Its high use means it’s constantly needing maintenance work and the council’s left to foot a fair slice of the bill. It’s even gone so far as to put in some of its own money – unsubsidised by NZTA – to ensure the road is at least halfway decent.

In every way this road, running from Rakaia to Mt Somers is a more natural highway. It’s the route from Christchurch to Mt Hutt and for many from the north heading to the Mackenzie area it’s also the route of choice, rather than traffic laden State Highway 1.

As it stands, the highway, dubbed the scenic route, runs from Amberley, through Oxford to Methven via the Rakaia Gorge and on through to Geraldine via Mayfield.

It’s a beautiful drive for anyone and the perfect way for visitors to our country to see some of the best rural scenery we have to offer. Pulling money out of the national coffers to keep this road in top condition, however, is a bit of a stretch.

Far better to start Highway 72 at Rakaia and let it follow Thompsons Track through to Mt Somers or Mayfield and it can then continue unchanged to Geraldine.

It’s about money, convenience, traffic hierarchy and commonsense.

Ask anyone who’s a regular Thompsons Track user and they’ll tell you an endless story of potholes, worn roading edges and a road that’s not fit for purpose.

EYE ON POLITICS

I

t’s not been a good week for dogs, cats or possums and related species.

Some of the more aggressive canines face slow extinction over the next 20 years; all the moggies of Aotearoa will be required to undergo the demeaning and, I’ve no doubt, discomforting experience of being microchipped, whatever their furry pedigrees or lack of them, while the possums and their hoodlum fellow killers, stoats, rats and other rural, nocturnal assassins, must await agonising slow death by poison.

No doubt about it, the future looks bleak for these New Zealand iconic villains at which the Government is said to be going to throw millions of taxpayer dollars over the next 50 years.

Sadly, many of us will not live to enjoy this new pest-free, pavlova paradise.

However, for those “crims” who have suddenly found themselves released from the bowels of some of Her Majesty’s dungeons – eight to a potty – in Aotearoa, things have been looking up.

Apparently, minions working for Judith Collins – the wellknown “Queen of Corrections and allied misdemeanours” – have dropped both the ball and a brick in miscalculating the number of days behind bars these condemned men – I understand they are all male – were obliged to serve.

Thus they, and significantly, many other still incarcerated but overdue-for-release malefactors, will soon be back on this side of the wall and the Government facing claims of false imprisonment and, inevitably, for massive compensation.

The redoubtable Mrs Collin seems not to have been fazed by this unexpected glitch and is even now preparing retrospective legislation freeing the Government from any responsibility for the oversight.

Somehow, I doubt whether even “Crusher”, as she was affectionately known in another political life, can wave this one away.

Somebody has boobed here, big time and as we are told there are anything up to 500 other time-servers who should have been happily back on civvy street long before now, the matter is not about to disappear from the headlines, much as Mrs Collins might wish it would.

While she has been battling with this irritating extra to her endlessly busy schedule, the vagaries of the judicial system have struck again to make justice itself look like a chance experience to which common-sense and understandable public opinion does not apply.

Once more, a judge has come up with a verdict of stupefying incredulity when releasing “without conviction” an eighteen-year-old rugby player who, last year, viciously attacked four innocent people, punching two young women full in the face and knocking down and badly injuring their partners (ending the promising rugby career of one of these unfortunate young men).

In words to this effect, the judge said the future rugby career of the thug who carried out this blatant savagery was too precious to be tarnished by having an official black mark on his record.

A lengthy term in prison was expected and, undoubtedly deserved, but after the similar case last week of the Delegat son and heir being cleared of knocking down a female police officer and continuing to punch her after she was unconscious, it seems we now must expect, and get used

to, a new era of non-culpability from our courts.

Now comes news that such has been the public outrage over this incident the contract of the thug in question with the Wellington Rugby Board has been “terminated by mutual agreement”. That, however, seems to be the end of the matter so far as the official, head-in-the-sand rugby world is concerned and, of course, the equally benighted judiciary.

Blind justice, indeed.

Behind these events as, of course, he was also in the disgraceful goings-on of the Chiefs’ end-of-season bash, sits the telegenic, accomplished speaker and administrator, the CEO of New Zealand rugby, Steve Tew. It is he, first, on these occasions, who gives voice to the all-embracing mantra to which all rugby officials pay lip service: “We do not condone violence.”

It is the sad fact these worthy gentlemen are too self-deluded to realise that that is exactly what they are doing, allowing violence to flourish. When an on or offthe-field episode breaks out it is always first to the rugby person involved their concern turns.

lawyers provided to ensure no stone is left unexamined in the campaign to ensure the player involved is, preferably exonerated altogether or, at “worst”, his normally powerful wrist is slapped by the proverbially damp Wellington bus ticket.

In my book, that is tantamount to condoning violence and as Mr Tew clearly has no comprehension of that, for all his telegenicity and fluency with words, it is time he was put out to grass behind the dead-ball line.

It is worth pointing out, too, the Wellington rugby people had no idea until they saw it on the news the other night, of the damage their protégée had done, and some weeks ago at that. They were, though, adamant, and, as one man, parroted, “We don’t condone violence.”

Elsewhere barbarity rampant is on display in Aleppo. One has to wonder why Helen Clark is as keen as she seems to take over the control of the United Nations and, at once, face an “insoluble” civil war.

And, finally, on another American stage, Donald Trump continues his remorseless crusade to browbeat Hillary Clinton into submission. For all our sakes, let’s hope he fails.

Crash kills 1, injures 100 A rush hour commuter train crashed through a barrier at the busy Hoboken station and lurched across the waiting area yesterday, killing one person and injuring more than 100 others in a grisly wreck that renewed questions about whether long-delayed automated safety technology could have prevented tragedy.

People pulled chunks of concrete off pinned and bleeding victims, passengers kicked out windows and crawled to safety and cries and screams could be heard in the wreckage as emergency workers rushed to reach the injured in the tangle of twisted metal and dangling wires just across the Hudson River from New York City.

The New Jersey Transit train ran off the end of the track as it was pulling in around 8.45am, smashing through a concrete-and-steel bumper.

As it ground to a halt in the waiting area, it knocked out pillars, collapsing a section of the roof.

“The train didn’t stop. It just didn’t stop,” said Tom Spina, who was in the terminal and rushed to try to help the victims.

Ross Bauer was sitting in the third or fourth car when the train entered the historic 109-year-old station, a

Niall’s first solo effort One Direction’s Niall Horan released a first solo single yesterday, becoming the latest member of the boy band to pursue music since the group went on hiatus.

The 23-year-old Irish singer announced that he had signed a contract with Capitol Records and released a first song, This Town. Driven by acoustic guitar, This Town is a light ballad about heartbreak in which Horan wishes for another chance with a partner. Horan, who did not give a timetable for further releases, also put out a video for This Town in which he performs at Capitol’s studio in Hollywood.

The wreckage at the Hoboken, New Jersey rail station. The commuter train barrelled into the station during the morning rush hour, coming to a halt in a covered area between the station’s indoor waiting area and the platform.

PHOTO AP bustling hub for commuters heading to New York.

“All of a sudden, there was an abrupt stop and a big jolt that threw people out of their seats. The lights went out, and we heard a loud crashing noise like an explosion” as the roof fell, he said. “I heard panicked screams, and everyone was stunned.”

The engineer, Thomas Gallagher, was pulled from the mangled first car and was

hospitalised, but officials said he had been released by evening. He was co-operating with investigators, Gov. Chris Christie said.

A woman standing on the train platform — Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, 34, of Hoboken was killed by debris, and 108 others were injured, mostly on the train, Christie said.

Scores were hospitalised, some with serious injuries including broken bones.

“The train came in at much too high rate of speed, and the question is: ‘Why is that?’”

Christie said.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said investigators will determine whether the explanation was equipment failure, an incapacitated engineer or something else.

Some witnesses said they didn’t hear or feel the brakes being applied before the crash.

9/11 lawsuits bill causes concern

Northern Lights spark Reykjavik to go dark

Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry has said it is a matter of “great concern” that 9/11 relatives in the US may be able to sue the kingdom for damages.

On Wednesday the US Congress voted for a law allowing families of nearly 3000 people killed in the attacks to sue.

In doing so they overrode a veto by President Barack Obama, who said it would set a “dangerous precedent”.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers that day were Saudi nationals, but the kingdom has denied any role in the attacks.

In a statement, the country’s foreign ministry said: “The erosion of sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the United States.”

The 9/11 bill row, explained.

Their argument parallels the one made by Mr Obama.

He said on CNN after the vote that the law set a “dangerous precedent” and could lead to the US being opened to “a situation where we’re suddenly exposed to liabilities for all the work that we’re doing all around the world and suddenly finding ourselves

Thousands of people died on September 11 2001. subject to private lawsuits”.

Meanwhile, leaders of the Republican party in Congress have said they want to reconsider the law. The Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell admitted that lawmakers had not understood the possible consequences of the legislation.

“Everybody was aware of who the potential beneficiaries were but nobody really had focused on the downside in terms of our international relationships,” Mr McConnell said.

The White House spokesman Josh Earnest said it was “a pretty classic case of rapid onset buyer’s remorse”.

Saudi Arabia had lobbied furiously against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism (Jasta) legislation.

It has stopped short of specifying how it might retaliate but has called on Congress to reverse the decision.

Relatives of those killed in 9/11 have welcomed the bill’s passing.

“We rejoice in this triumph and look forward to our day in court and a time when we may finally get more answers regarding who was truly behind the attacks,” said Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.

The lights went out in Reykjavik to give people a chance to enjoy one of the night sky’s most impressive spectacles – the Aurora Borealis.

Reykjavik council announced that street lighting would be switched off for an hour in the city centre and several other districts from 10pm local time, in order to cut out the light pollution that can hamper sky-watching. It also encouraged the capital’s residents to join in by turning off their lighting at home.

In the event, the Northern Lights’ timing was predictably unpredictable, and they didn’t materialise until the end of the black-out period, so the council extended it to midnight, Morgunbladid newspaper reports.

The city has witnessed some spectacular displays in recent days. It’s thanks to the Earth being in the path of the solar wind – a stream of charged particles escaping from the Sun.

Bromance put to test Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s bromance is under threat. In a recently released video, the two famous friends are shown bickering back and forth over who is better mates with NFL legend, Tom Brady. But it’s all for a good cause. The two movie stars have teamed up with the New England Patriots player to raise money for three different charities by raffling off the chance to hang out with all three of them. “For just $10 you and friend can hang out with me and Tom Brady ... and I guess also Matt will be there,” Affleck says in the video. “Yeah and also me because I’m ALSO friends with Tom Brady,” Damon replies.

Bieber has date with judge Justin Bieber has been ordered to travel to Miami for a deposition within the next 30 days. The 22-year-old singer’s bodyguard is accused of chasing Florida photographer, Manuel Munoz, down a busy tourist street in Miami and injuring him after he took a picture of the young star leaving a nightclub in January 2014 and Justin has been ordered to testify by the judge. TMZ reports that Munoz’s lawyer wants to question Justin about his previous altercations with photographers and fans. If Justin does not agree to voluntarily travel to Miami for the deposition, the judge will “issue a writ of bodily attachment”, meaning that deputies will be sent to collect him.

UN warns of abyss

Storms end but flood risk remains in SA

Syrian government forces continued their push into rebel-held districts of Aleppo on Thursday as international officials issued dire warnings of an ongoing humanitarian disaster in Syria’s largest city.

The UN’s humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien told the Security Council that the conditions in eastern Aleppo, which is besieged and assaulted by all sides by government forces, had descended into the “merciless abyss of humanitarian catastrophe”.

Speaking to the Security Council via video link from Geneva, O’Brien painted a grim picture of the conditions in the warwracked eastern part of the city, where at least 320 civilians including 100 children have been killed in the past week. An additional 765 have been wounded.

O’Brien’s report noted that the UN now calculates that 861,200 Syrians are trapped in sieges – a nearly 50 per cent increase from the last estimate of 586,200. The new figure reflects the government’s protracted blockade around eastern Aleppo, where an estimated 250,000 people or more live.

Most of the besieged citizens, divided across at least 18 locations around the country, are trapped by government forces, and international observers are

Members of Syrian Civil Defence group the White Helmets inspect cluster bomb remains in the Khan Sheikhoun neighbourhood of Idlib, Syria.

PHOTO AP beginning to accuse both Damascus and its close ally Moscow of war crimes.

O’Brien said certain Security Council members bore responsibility for global inaction on Syria and ended his address saying it was time to “place the blame”.

In Aleppo, rescue crews were working for the third straight day to clear the rubble and search for survivors of presumed Russian or Syrian government airstrikes on the eastern al-Shaar and alMashhad neighbourhoods that flattened residential buildings

and killed at least 23 civilians, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Germany and Turkey condemned what they called “blatant breaches of international humanitarian law” and renewed calls for a cease-fire.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke with US President Barack Obama by phone, and both agreed that Russia and the Syrian regime “bear special responsibility for ending the fighting in Syria”.

The storms are gone but flood risks remain for many South Australians battered by this week’s severe weather.

Of most concern for emergency services are areas in the Barossa Valley, north of Adelaide, and around the Onkaparinga catchment, south of the city.

Rivers in those areas are still rising, with some properties already inundated and several roads cut.

Among the centres of most concern to the north are properties along the Gawler River and others around Tanunda where the caravan park has been evacuated.

The river was not expected to peak until late yesterday.

To the south the State Emergency Service says a moderate flood risk remains at Old Noarlunga and Port Noarlunga from the Onkaparinga River and a moderate flood risk also remains from the Torrens River, which runs through Adelaide’s northern suburbs and into the city.

The SES has issued a warning for people not to enter floodwaters by car or on foot after crews performed six swift-water rescues involving motorists stranded in their vehicles.

But the flood concerns for other centres, including Port Pirie and Clare have reduced after a wild night of destructive winds and heavy rain.

Improving weather across the state has allowed SA Power Networks to reconnect more properties after Thursday’s state-wide blackout and ongoing issues with storm damage.

By yesterday morning about 12,000 were still without services because of the network failure, mostly on the Eyre Peninsula and in the far north.

Transmission company ElectraNet says ground crews are continuing to work on the line between Cleve and Port Lincoln to repair a fault that only became evident during an earlier attempt to restore services.

It also hoped to survey lines to Roxby Downs and Leigh Creek from the air yesterday.

Concerns are growing for some regional centres where power has been out since Wednesday, cutting the supply of fresh food and access to fuel and cash.

The several thousand still without power because of other storm damage were largely dotted through the Adelaide Hills.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Those who think that clothing doesn’t matter much will think again. What you wear when you go out will play a key role in how you feel and who you are being in the situation.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Does it seem like other people’s opinions are getting heard more readily than yours? Remedy this. Speak up.

Bring a bullhorn if you have to, but make yourself heard; it will benefit all.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You could love something just because someone else loves it, and that will turn out to be as good a reason as any.

Getting wrapped up in the spirit of things will be wonderful.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Something is complicated in your personal life, it’s about to get less so. All you have to do is see the truth and notice it.

You don’t have to do anything about it.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The love of your life may be a person, or it may be a fascination. Either way, this great love will hold the lion’s share of your attention this weekend. Partnering with a Libra in some way will be lucky.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You don’t like the feeling that someone is checking your every move.

However, right now there’s something nice about knowing that there are those who are aware of you and “have your back.”

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Maybe you don’t care if your efforts get noticed or not; you’re acting purely to refine your character and expand your heart as you go above and beyond what is being asked of you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): This is a lucky day to make reservations, plan ahead, buy tickets and more. You’ll land the best seats, the centre of the meat, the prime spot for socialising with just the people who can help you the most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Babies crawl before they walk: It’s safer this way. From the hands and knees they don’t have as far to fall. Do your learning in the order that strengthens and builds your skills organically.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If the clothes don’t fit, get rid of them. But if it’s just a broken relationship – well, it’s possible that can be mended with only a few words. And you’re in just the mood to try it, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): As for the weeds in the garden of your social life, these pesky creatures seem intent on causing disorder among your well-tended base. Either chalk it up to “nature” or uproot that which offends.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There may be a surprise limitation thrown your way, but it will prove to be an advantage. If you’re stuck, there’s nowhere to go but up.
