Locals’ attitude ‘disappointing’ National role for Keenan P24

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Soaring water consumption is likely to see hosing restrictions imposed in Ashburton this weekend.

Mayor Angus McKay made a pitch for urban Ashburton to have a restrictionfree summer, but yesterday said he was disappointed that people had abused the unlimited watering offer. During Wednesday’s 30°C-plus temperatures,

consumption soared and he said he saw hoses running during the heat of the day, the most ineffective time for watering.

“I’m disappointed with the attitude of the people of Ashburton. I fought for this, we got it and common-sense has gone out the door,” Mr McKay said.

Last month he pushed for Ashburton to run through the summer without hosing restrictions, believing that by using common-sense and through an educa-

tion programme on appropriate watering, consumption would be kept within manageable levels.

During Wednesday’s summer high, consumption hit 23,200 cubic metres, not far short of the council’s total consent, 25,000 cubic metres.

McCaw mobbed Richie McCaw has been mobbed by young Argentinian fans at an event in central Buenos Aires.

The swarm of fans swamped the former All Black captain in what almost resembled a rolling maul as he made his way from the microphone to the car after giving rugby tips and fielding questions from the crowd. Security could do nothing to stop the crowd getting near McCaw, whose live TV interviews at the event were called off and moved elsewhere.

A representative from Air New Zealand, who organised the event, said the event was not called off early. The crowd’s attention was fixed on McCaw and they made sure they got as close as they could to the rugby great.

Take it down a notch, Swift tells media

Starr drum kit set to fetch millions A drum kit played by Ringo Starr is set to fetch millions of dollars at auction this week as part of a sale of items belonging to the Beatle and his wife, Barbara Bach. Starr is bidding farewell to items such as instruments, career memorabilia as well as personal items. Among them are seven stage and studio drums played by Starr, including the first Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl drum kit used for the Beatles’ early recordings. Starr used the kit in more than 200 performances. Last month, Julien’s Auctions sold a drum head from a kit Starr played on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 for $NZ3.17 million.

“We’ve conservatively estimated this (Ludwig) kit for three to five hundred thousand (dollars) but that was prior to knowing what the drum head would sell for,” said Darren Julien, president and chief executive of Julien’s Auctions.

Taylor Swift is treating her 1989 world tour crew to a holiday on Hamilton Island and she’s told the Aussie media to “take it down a notch”. “So stoked to be able to take my band and crew on a vacation at the end of a long and wonderful tour.

For all their hard work this year, they really deserve it,” Swift said on Instagram. The 25-year-old pop star will perform an exclusive show on the island for a few lucky fans and some media personalities, who had been trying to get on to the island, were swiftly stopped by security. On Tuesday Seven Network reporter Michelle Tapper tweeted she was “kicked off Hamilton Island due to Taylor Swift media ban”.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Twist to parking wish

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s retailers have had a win – of a kind – in their bid to offer shoppers free parking in the town’s central business area this Christmas.

In a written request to the Ashburton District Council the retailers asked to have parking meter fees waived in the lead-up to Christmas, and at yesterday’s council environmental services committee meeting, councillors got into the festive spirit and granted them their wish.

It was a wish with a twist, however, as the council decided that making its pay and display meters free for periods of the day

would be too difficult to police; it would be easier to turn the entire Eastfields parking area into a free parking space.

Council environmental services manager Jane Donaldson said that policing free time blocks on parking meters would be almost impossible with just one parking warden.

The Eastfields option would be easier and while it could be abused by all-day parkers, it would be up to business owners to ensure their staff did not take the parking spaces the council had made free for customers.

The council would also lose a significant amount of money in lost pay and display parking

money whereas the Eastfields area was not well used and the loss of income would be negligible, Ms Donaldson said.

In opting to provide an area of free parking, the council was showing it was sympathetic to the retailers’ request and by offering Eastfields, it was offering a deal for all inner town retailers, not just those on East Street, said councillor Don McLeod.

“We’re not saying, stuff off, we’re not listening, we’re saying we can’t do what they’re asking but we can do something that will go someway towards meeting your request,” he said.

The free parking deal will apply from Monday until January 5.

Mayor Angus McKay was keen to see a permanent solution found to parking congestion around Christmas.

“This issue comes up from time to time and I wondered if councillors would be willing for me to meet in the new year with the people who wrote the letter to look at all parking issues,” he said.

The meeting could flush out concerns that could become part of the council’s long-term plan discussions, Mr McKay said.

“I believe we should do something to solve the problem and the perception in the community around parking in the CBD.” His councillors agreed.

Mid Canty man injured in firearm malfunction A 23-year-old Mid Canterbury man has been airlifted to hospital with moderate injuries after an incident with a malfunctioning firearm.

Emergency services were called to a Mid Canterbury farm following reports of a firearms incident at 8.20am yesterday.

Senior Constable Mike Seque said the man was taken by Westpac Rescue Helicopter to Christchurch Hospital because he required surgery on his hand after the barrel of a shotgun exploded.

It appeared as though it was a mechanical fault in the firearm rather than any fault of the user, he said.

It was not clear exactly how the malfunction occurred, Senior Constable Seque said.

Borough backs Santa parade Ashburton Borough School’s Christmas float, being built by caretaker Murray Hodgson (above), will be among many featuring at the Hyundai Mid Canterbury Santa Parade in Ashburton tomorrow. Thousands are expected to flock to the parade, beginning 12.30pm from Mona Square and travelling down East Street to Baring Square. The Borough float will be Santa’s workshop, towed by a tractor with wooden reindeer on it. Hoardings have been painted by pupils, who will be elves in the workshop, which will also include a Christmas tree, workbench, toys and parcels.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay

Hosing restrictions now likely From P1 “We’re now at a critical level and restrictions are close to coming in,” he said.

“If we have to bring restrictions in then I’m comfortable doing this because I’m disappointed common sense has not come into play.”

Late last month a SMART watering education project was launched that repackaged a programme used on farms to suit urban conditions.

Its success in rural areas was anticipated to translate into success with urban gardeners. It did not.

The mean average consumption in Ashburton is 18,000 cubic metres per day but Ashburton is now running 4000 cubic metres a day above that. At the same time well and river levels are already at traditional February and March lows.

Because useage levels were now at a critical stage, the council was monitoring consumption yesterday before decisions were made on bringing in restrictions, service delivery manager Neil McCann said.

“We’ve now got exceptionally dry conditions, the worst we’ve had for years and the worst water useage for years.”

Ashburton’s rural towns and villages are already on level one, alternate days hosing restrictions.

When the council opted to can hosing restrictions for the summer, it put residents on notice that excessive consumption or any breakdown in the system could see that decision reversed.

■ METHVEN HOT POOLS

In brief

Pool complex plans released

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Hot Pools (MHC) developers have released concept plans for the multi-million dollar project.

The site for the pools has shifted slightly, moving a matter of metres further from the Methven town boundary.

When first announcing the site earlier this year, the project’s developers said it would be on Main Street behind the Equus Park proposed subdivision on land adjoining the Mt Harding Racecourse. This is still the case, however, the site is now closer to the racecourse entrance.

Director Dave Dynes said yesterday the change in site was to suit everybody, including the racecourse operators and New Zealand Transport Agency.

The new concept plan developments represented the culmination of many years of research and investigations. In conjunction with Mt Hutt’s skifield announcement this week, the town’s future looked bright.

However, Mr Dynes could not say how soon the hot pools would be a reality in the town, as this would hinge on how successful the resource consent

Methven tourism industry representatives greeted an announcement of cheap early-bird Mt Hutt season passes with gasps and applause on Wednesday night.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said the early-bird rate had undergone a “radical change” for 2016, when it would be $299 for adults and $199 for youth and seniors, down from $749 and $329 respectively this year. Additionally $1.6 million would be spent on ski area improvements.

About 60 attended the public meeting held in Methven by Mt Hutt, which had generated interest in its early-bird price by run-

Police have charged a 29-yearold man with driving dangerously causing death after a fatal vehicle crash near Herbert on Sunday.

Just after 5pm, police were called to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on State Highway 1, north of Herbert at Waianakarua. A southbound Toyota car, which had overtaken other vehicles travelling south, collided with a number of northbound vehicles. This included a motorbike and two other cars.

The sole rider of the motorbike died at the scene. Two other people were injured. The 29-yearold is due to appear in the Oamaru District Court on Tuesday. - NZME

A resource consent is required because the commercial activity will be on land zoned Rural A.

The complex is expected to attract about 100,000 visitors a year, adding significant value to the district’s tourism sector.

It is to be built in stages, with stage one estimated to come with a price tag in excess of $7.5 million. Additional stages will

be added as demand grows. The complex is proposed to have three areas – spa treatment, family and adults only.

ning a Facebook ‘like’ campaign.

The campaign had promised a reduced early-bird rate which would depend on how many likes it received. It attracted about 4500, meaning the earlybird passes should have dropped as low as $303.

Mr McKenzie disappointed the attendees when he said that was not going to happen, but later announced the 2016 price.

“It’s about getting more guests,” Mr McKenzie said. In 2001 there had been a similar initiative with $199 early-bird passes, which resulted in record skier numbers. The passes would be on sale December 17 to March 31, and he hoped people would give them as Christmas presents.

Mr McKenzie said the ski area had been through tough times in recent years, with the Canterbury earthquakes, a destructive avalanche and some lean snow seasons. Last ski season had been difficult with poor weather.

“We certainly understand how it feels for people in Methven as well because of that,” Mr McKenzie said.

He paid tribute to NZSki board chairman Sir John Davies, who believed in the Mt Hutt product but recognised how difficult it had been.

“In spite of that he’s continued to pour money into Mt Hutt, not necessarily as much as Coronet Peak or the Remarkables.”

two ski areas had been bought by Sir John’s Trojan Holdings company, he had undertaken a huge upgrade and installed the Summit Six chairlift. And over the past five years he had continued to pour millions of dollars into the ski area.

The $1.6 million this summer would be spent on a range of improvements including a $160,0000 snowmaking upgrade, $100,000 on the road which would include up to eight new corner barriers, $90,000 on terrain developments, $80,000 on new rental gear and $15,000 on de-icing initiatives.

“Mt Hutt is going to be better than ever next year,” Mr McKenzie said.

Bid to exempt tipple Parliament will vote on a bill to exempt RSAs from having to apply for a special licence each year to serve a tipple to veterans on Anzac Day morning.

The bill was put up by National MP Paul Foster-Bell at the request of the RSA and drawn from the members’ bill ballot yesterday.

It is expected to involve a personal vote by MPs, rather than along party lines, because it relates to alcohol.

It amends legislation which requires RSAs to get a special licence, costing about $500 each year, to serve alcohol before midday on Anzac Day. Mr Foster-Bell said that affected the traditional “gunfire breakfasts” – an Anzac Day tradition since the 1920s. Adding a shot of rum to coffee at breakfast recalled the repast taken by soldiers prior to battle and the rum ration was standard military issue of that time.

Questioning whether the Roast Busters’ behaviour was abuse meant Child, Youth and Family did not properly consider how to care for the young people involved, a damning report has found. Social Development Minister Anne Tolley, who was Police Minister when the Roast Buster complaints were laid, yesterday released a review into CYF’s involvement in the case.

The Roast Busters are a group of mainly West Auckland youths who bragged on social media about having sex with drunk and underage girls. In late 2011 police investigated complaints by teenage girls in relation to alleged offending by some of the Roast Busters. Charges were not laid.

Parole denied Convicted murderer and alleged prison escapee Phillip John Smith has been declined an early release, although the Parole Board supports him again being allowed out temporarily, when the time is right. Smith is accused of failing to return to prison while on temporary release and fleeing to Brazil in November last year. His latest hearing before the Parole Board was last month and he will be seen again in September 2017.

The board decided not to issue a postponement order to delay that and board members noted Smith “appeared to have been on some appropriate pathway” at the time of his alleged escape.

Billboard sparks anger A billboard in Auckland’s East Tamaki has made light of Caitlyn Jenner’s recent sex change and angered members of the transgender community. It featured the photo from her Vanity Fair cover shoot wearing a Santa hat and the words; “I hope your sack is fuller than mine this Christmas.

Merry Christmas from Cranium”.

Rebecca Jones, the mother of a 9-year-old transgender boy, said the billboard was transphobic. “I find this absolutely disgusting.” She said the director of the company seemed not to take a complaint made about the billboard seriously and was “quite insulting”. An email from the director, Phillip Garratt, indicated the billboard would be removed. He said there was no way he’d discriminate against anyone and that the words on the billboard were “referring to a santa sack” and nothing else. A post on his company’s Facebook page also issued an apology and indicated the billboard had been taken down.

■ COMMUNITY FOCUS

Safety campaign officially launched

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A multi-agency safety campaign to help protect the Ashburton community over summer was officially launched yesterday.

Staying Safe This Summer is a collaborative effort between a number of different organisations including Ashburton District Council, police, a security company, Safer Ashburton, Maori Wardens, a taxi company and Ashburton Town Watch.

The campaign started on Saturday, November 7, with each agency working together to help curb pre-loading, drink-driving and alcohol-related crime.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said he was pleased with the way all the groups had joined forces each Saturday night.

They had all come together seamlessly for the benefit of the community.

While crime rates were low in the district, the initiative had been set up because there was concern this year about incidents of violence and vandalism in the CBD and surrounding business area, he said.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said Ashburton always had the resources but the groups had not worked together in such a way before.

Their main aim was to ensure people enjoyed their night but also got home safely, Senior Sergeant Banfield said.

Having all agencies wearing bright yellow meant the public perception was that there were more people there to help.

Safer Ashburton general manager Kevin Clifford said the feedback from his staff was that the co-ordinated approach was working.

Part of the effort included having systems in place to get people back home safely.

The agencies would be out and about every Saturday night during the busier summer months.

■ THE WAREHOUSE ASHBURTON

Mt Albert stabbing fatal

Rat infestation situation resolved

By Caitlin PoRteR

caitlin.p@theguaRdian.co.nz

A rat infestation that forced a local retailer to pull products from its shelves has now been resolved.

The Warehouse confirmed late last month it had a rat infestation issue but was working with the Ashburton District Council and a pest controller to eradicate the problem.

Yesterday, a spokeswoman for The Warehouse confirmed the rat infestation issue had been successfully resolved by an out of town pest controller who used “a number of different methods”.

All product ranges that were previously removed including all human and pet food and indoor plants were now being delivered from various distribution centres and will be back on shelves within the next 10 days.

The Warehouse would continue to remain vigilant and would persist with an enhanced pest control regime for the time being, the spokeswoman said.

The infestation was believed to have come after a nearby building on the old EA Networks site was demolished.

The work, which began in January, saw all buildings on the two and a half hectare site – bar

the administration building that fronts Kermode Street and the large substation – demolished as they fell short of new building code standards.

EA Networks chief executive Gordon Guthrie however said he was not aware of a vermin issue at the old site.

“There was the odd mouse found under the old admin building at the start of winter but that was it, nothing unusual,” he said.

Nearby businesses, NZ Sock Company, EA Networks Centre and Cates Grain and Seed said they had not had a problem with vermin since the demolition.

The body of a man – who died after an alleged stabbing – has been removed from the scene and will undergo a post-mortem examination today.

Detective Inspector Chris Cahill said the man was visiting the address with his associate, who was also understood to have been stabbed and was now in a stable condition at Auckland Hospital after undergoing surgery.

“We believe we now know who the deceased was and have located and spoken with some members of his family.

“They are obviously distressed and are being supported by police and Victim Support.”

He said the man’s name would be released today at the earliest.

Mr Cahill said it appeared all those involved in the incident

were known to each other, reassuring residents in the neighbourhood that the fatal attack and associated activities were confined to one address.

“We are exploring a number of leads and have spoken at length to people linked to the address last night and over the recent past.

“While there’s a lot more work to do we are satisfied witnesses and neighbouring residents are assisting us as best they can.”

He said he believed some people left the scene after the incident.

Anyone who has information that could assist the homicide investigation should call Avondale CIB on 09 820 5784, Police on 111 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

■ COMMUNITY ALCOHOL ACTION PROJECT

In brief

Safety First. Drive Sober. Is the message

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

A new drink drive campaign has been launched to prevent crashes on Ashburton roads this holiday season.

This year’s Community Alcohol Action Project (CAAP) “Safety First. Drive Sober” campaign was launched at a breakfast yesterday by local drink drive campaigners.

CAAP co-ordinator Kate Spicer said more emphasis needed to be put on the role alcohol played in crashes within the district.

So far this year 80 people have been processed for driving with an excess breath alcohol level in Mid Canterbury Statistics also show that alcohol impairment was a factor in around 14 per cent of all crashed within the Ashburton District and contributed to 61 injury crashes between 2010 and 2014, nine of which were fatal.

To eliminate alcohol as a factor in crashes the CAAP is not only targeting individuals but also licensed premises.

A food caravan will be set up offering free sausages and water to promote responsible drinking for patrons of local bars and clubs on December 12 and 19 outside The Print Room.

Mid-South Canterbury Alcohol Harm Reduction officer Sergeant Mylen Hamilton said this was the first time he had seen campaigners give food and advice to people before they started drinking, rather than after.

Divers have pulled the body of a man from a truck which went into the water at the South Port wharf at Bluff yesterday. Police were called to help about 1.30pm after the truck was seen going into the water. Nearby coast guard staff and divers went to the wharf in a bid to help and found the truck submerged with the body of a man inside. WorkSafe NZ has been told of the accident. Family of the man have been told of the fatal accident.

Sergeant Hamilton credited the campaign for not only talking about drink driving, but getting out and about within the community.

“I don’t think people realise how much their life will change if they don’t have a driver’s licence,” he said.

“They take it for granted, the ability to just jump in the car and drive off.”

An Auckland high school principal has hit out at social media bullies after three of his pupils suffered a vicious cyber backlash over a viral video which appeared to show teenagers taunting a fellow student in a wheelchair. James Cook High School head Vaughan Couillault said the cyber-bullying was so bad two boys had left Auckland out of fears for their safety, and a girl had been hospitalised. Mr Couillault said the video that sparked the bullying “doesn’t tell the whole story” and the incident, which happened on Tuesday, was simply a schoolboy row over a girl in which nobody was injured. However, since the video hit the internet, the two boys and the girl who filmed it had suffered a torrent of abuse on social media.

■ SAN BERNADINO MASS SHOOTINGS

Yesterday’s mass shooting in San Bernadino California has sparked an angry response from Wellington-based New Zealand American Association chairman Larry Keim.

He said he was appalled and says the United States’ gun laws must be tightened up.

“When will it stop,” Mr Keim said of the mass shootings in the United States.

“It’s what happens when in the early 90s, suddenly guns become more prolific, especially those that have large magazines.

“The Second Amendment [of the Constitution] has been taken to a whole new perspective.”

“The NRA [National Rifle Association] has a strong lobby. It’s something Congress refuses to deal with.”

Mr Keim said he hoped President Barack Obama could address this “in a much stronger fashion” in the last year of his presidency.

“I don’t have a problem with the Second Amendment right to bear arms. What I do have a

Quidditch no fantasy

By SolBin Kang It’s not every day you see people running around a field with a broomstick between their legs, but a group of Wellingtonians is emerging from its cloak of invisibility to bring quidditch to life.

The sport is just like it is in the wizard fantasy world of Harry Potter, except participants don’t fly.

Victoria University’s quidditch team is hoping to get to the World Championship and club president Lola Valentine, 20, says their hopes of getting there are high.

“Its pretty much the same as the game you’ll see in the movies and what you’ll read in the books, but we don’t fly.

“We just run around with brooms,” she says.

“We can’t do magic.”

Ms Valentine said the game could take a long time.

“It could take as short as 10 minutes to [several] days.

“We’re going to have to put in a lot of hours of training if we want to meet the international standards.”

The quirky sport has attracted a mixture of Muggles to their training ground.

The men, aged 54 and 62, managed to make it safely to shore after their boat overturned while coming in to Waimarama Beach. A rescue helicopter was called about 7am and picked the men up from the beach. The men were flown to the Hawke’s Bay Regional hospital for further treatment.

$30m over budget A major IT project that took four years longer than originally planned and is almost $30 million over the initial budget is not another Novopay, Customs says.

The agency has also revealed that an independent person has been brought in to chair a governance group for its Joint Border Management System (JBMS) – but says that is not a sign of any strain between it and other parties including IBM. JBMS merged the computer systems of Customs and the Ministry for Primary Industries, and was supposed to be finished by the end of 2012 at a cost of $75.9 million. The budget has since soared to $104.1 million.

Bonfire costly A smouldering bonfire proved costly for a homeowner after it ignited a land-based 15m trimaran, trees and neighbouring sheds in a backyard in South Wairarapa yesterday. The boat was all but destroyed, along with outlying sheds and scorched pine trees.

The fire reached the garage adjoining the house, but the house was not damaged. Up to five appliances and two hazmat units from Featherston, Martinborough, Greytown and Rimutaka descended on the scene. - NZME

■ WORLD BUSKERS’ FESTIVAL ROADSHOW

Stubbornness a necessary trait

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Succeeding as a performer takes stubbornness moreso than talent, says juggler and magician David Ladderman.

The Christchurch busker was in Ashburton yesterday to give the town a taste of what is to come when the World Buskers’ Festival roadshow comes to Ashburton next month.

He was accompanied by festival director Glen Pickering, and the pair were welcomed on the East Street chessboard by Experience Mid Canterbury representative Jennifer Shepherd.

The roadshow is to be included for the first time as part of the festival, and it will set up in Baring Square around the Ashburton clock tower for the day and evening of January 19.

It will include Australian acts Hula Queen and ADDJ, Sharon Mahoney from Canada, New Zealand’s Biggest Little Circus and other Kiwi performers.

The Baring Square East road will close for the day and night, creating an extended performance and viewing area around a large trailer stage.

performing at the festival, which annually attracts 250,000 over 10 days, in his home city.

He said one of the most common questions people asked him was if it was possible to make a living from busking.

He said it was, and he himself did so by travelling the world following performance opportunities, which annually included both the World Buskers’ Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

“Those opening years, they can be rough, like our acting cousins we take hospo work, fruit work.

But really if you want to be any good at it you have to go full time,” Mr Ladderman said.

“Weirdly enough, it’s about being stubborn more than having great talent,” he said.

Mayor Angus McKay welcomed the roadshow initiative and said it would bring entertainment to Mid Canterbury in what was typically a quiet time of year in the town.

He had made a recommendation, which would be considered by the Ashburton District Council on December 17, that the council fund the road closure required on the day of the roadshow.

He said the one-off gesture would cost up to $1500.

In brief President under fire Already struggling with weak popularity over Brazil’s economic ills and a political corruption scandal, President Dilma Rousseff now must fight an impeachment effort launched by a political foe who heads Congress’ lower house.

Speaker Eduardo Cunha opened impeachment proceedings against Rousseff yesterday, citing a court’s finding that her administration violated fiscal responsibility laws by using money from state-run banks to fill budget gaps and pay for social programmes. Rousseff went on television to sharply reject Cunha’s accusations, and most analysts predicted she would survive.

Bizarre loads

A couple embraces following a mass shooting that killed 14 people at a social services facility, yesterday in San Bernardino, California.

Gunmen ‘on a mission’ At least two heavily armed attackers opened fire on a banquet at a social services centre for the disabled yesterday, killing 14 people and seriously wounding more than a dozen others in a precision assault that looked “as if they were on a mission,” authorities said.

About four hours later, police hunting for the killers riddled a black SUV with gunfire in a shootout 3 kilometres from the late-morning carnage, and a man and woman with assault rifles, handguns and “assaultstyle clothing” were killed, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.

A third person who was spotted running near the gun battle was detained, but Burguan said

it was unclear if that person had anything to do with the crime.

The shooting at the social services centre occurred at a holiday celebration for workers, not the disabled. It was the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since the attack at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, three years ago that left 26 children and adults dead.

Police shed no light on the motive for the massacre. David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said the bureau is looking at several possibilities, including workplace violence and terrorism. He did not elaborate.

A law enforcement official who was briefed on the case identified one of the suspects as Syed

Farook. The official was not authorised to speak to the media about the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The attackers invaded the Inland Regional Centre and began shooting around 11am. They opened fire in a conference area that the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health had rented out for an employee banquet, said Marybeth Feild, president and CEO of the nonprofit centre.

Police spokeswoman Sgt. Vicki Cervantes said witnesses reported seeing one to three gunmen.

“They came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission,” Burguan, the police chief, said.

Burguan said that someone had left the morning event after “there was some type of dispute,” but investigators were not sure whether that had anything to do with the subsequent massacre in the Southern California city of 214,000 people about 100 kilometres east of Los Angeles.

As gunfire echoed through the large three-building complex, several people locked themselves in their offices, desperately waiting to be rescued by police. Some texted or telephoned their loved ones and whispered to them what was going on.

Ten of the wounded were hospitalised in critical condition, and three were in serious condition, Fire Chief Tom Hannemann said.

Britain launches airstrikes on IS in Syria British warplanes carried out airstrikes in Syria yesterday, just hours after Parliament voted to authorise air attacks against Islamic State group targets there.

Four Royal Air Force Tornados took off from a British air base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, shortly after the 397-223 vote by lawmakers in the House of Commons.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman told the AP the planes had conducted strikes in Syria, and details about their targets would be provided later.

He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with British policy for government spokespeople.

The RAF has been launching strikes against IS targets in Iraq since 2014. The decision to expand the campaign to Syria came after an emotional 10 1/2-hour debate in which Prime Minister David Cameron said that Britain must strike the militants in their heartland and not “sit back and wait for them to attack us”.

Opponents argued that Britain’s entry into Syria’s crowded airspace would make little difference, and said Cameron’s military plan was based on wishful thinking that overlooked the messy reality of the Syrian civil war.

Cameron has long wanted to target IS in Syria, but had been unsure of getting majority support in the House of Commons until now.

He suffered an embarrassing defeat in 2013 when lawmakers rejected a motion backing attacks on the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The mood has changed following the November 13 Paris attacks, claimed by IS, that killed 130 people. Both France and the US have urged Britain to join their air campaign in Syria, and Cameron said Britain should not let its allies down.

He said Britain was already a top target for IS attacks, and airstrikes would reduce the group’s ability to plan more Paris-style carnage.

“Do we work with our allies to degrade and destroy this threat and do we go after these terrorists in their heartlands, from where they are plotting to kill British people?” he said. “Or do we sit back and wait for them to attack us?”

He said that attacking IS was not anti-Muslim but “a defence of Islam” against “women-raping, Muslim-murdering, medieval monsters.”

Search ‘in right place’ Australian authorities said yesterday that new analysis confirms they’ve likely been searching in the right place for a missing Malaysian airliner.

Searchers have been combing a 120,000-square-kilometre part of the Indian Ocean since last year but have yet to turn up any trace of Flight 370. A wing flap was found in July on the other side of the Indian Ocean, washed up on remote Reunion Island. The new analysis by an agency of the Defence Department confirmed “the highest probability” the final resting place for the plane is within the current search area, the government said.

Texas blocks refugees Texas has sued the US government in an effort to block six Syrian refugees from resettling in Dallas this week. The lawsuit comes after the non-profit International Rescue Committee defied orders from Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to halt the arrival of Syrian refugees in Texas following the deadly attacks in Paris last month. Texas, citing security concerns, wants to delay the arrival of the refugees for at least a week until a federal judge can hear the challenge. - AP

No apology likely Turkey won’t apologise to Russia for shooting down a warplane operating over Syria, the Turkish prime minister has said, stressing that the military was doing its job defending the country’s airspace.

Ahmet Davutoglu also said Turkey hopes Moscow will reconsider economic sanctions announced against Turkish interests following last week’s incident. “No Turkish prime minister or president will apologise ... because of doing our duty,” Davutoglu told reporters after meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels.

OUR VIEW

Education the key to no restrictions

Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

A

shburton’s experiment with a hosing restrictionfree summer was an experiment doomed to disaster from the beginning.

It was well intentioned and it relied on the willingness of Ashburton’s home gardeners to be reasonable. But come the first hint of summer and reasonableness was replaced by desperation in the race to keep water up to wilting lawns and gardens.

Where the experiment went wrong was in its timing and its apparent lack of planning. From the outset the council knew successful would depend on an education programme that would ensure people understood about optimum watering times for maximum benefit.

The decision to can restrictions came out of left field at a council meeting. Most councillors liked the idea and decided it was worth a whirl. A few days later the SMART water education project was launched, built on a similar and highly success programme used to educate farmers about efficient irrigation.

It came unstuck, however, because barely had SMART water been launched and summer hit – with a vengeance. Forget education, most gardeners simply understood that their gardens and lawns were dry, the temperatures were rising and they needed to get their sprinklers sprinkling.

Overnight, hundreds of hoses were running on hundreds of urban properties, spraying water into the air and hopefully on to gardens. But high temperatures and often high winds meant that water destined to keep gardens growing simply evaporated before it found the ground.

The hotter it got, the more the searing nor’wester blew, the more we watered and the closer we inched to exhausting our water supply.

For this restriction-free summer to be a success, an education programme needed to have begun in the spring, written material should have had saturation distribution to every home, it needed to be pushed in the media and it needed to be on every possible website.

Restriction-free hosing can work if everyone understands what they need to do and how they need to water.

There’s every chance we’ll be on hosing restrictions by Monday, but that shouldn’t deter the council from having another go next year. They just need to get their horse before the cart – educate before the hoses are turned on.

■ DICK SMITH

Fire sale ‘would be suicidal’ Aussie retail billionaire Gerry Harvey has poured cold water on talk of a pre-Christmas fire sale by embattled trans-Tasman electronics seller Dick Smith, saying such a move would be like “committing suicide”.

There has been speculation in the Australian media that Dick Smith is preparing to launch a “70 per cent off everything” sale this weekend.

High levels of excess stock forced the retailer to abandon its full-year profit forecast on Monday, sparking a severe sell-off in its ASX-listed shares.

Deutsche Bank analysts Michael Simotas and Daniel Wan said in a report this week that the company’s discounting could force competitors to following suit the lead-up to Christmas.

That’s raised the prospect of a price war that would be great for consumers but damaging for electronics retailers’ profit margins during the crucial festive period.

On Tuesday Dick Smith’s director of investor relations, Michael Cooke, said high inventory levels were a problem on both sides of the Tasman.

The company operates 62 stores in New Zealand.

“I won’t go into what’s going to be discounted and how much by, but we’re certainly going to have very attractive pricing on a wide range of products,” Cooke said.

Harvey, co-founder of the Harvey Norman retail chain, told the Australian newspaper that a fire sale would only make matters worse for Dick Smith.

“They are not making any money if the sell everything in a fire sale,” he said.

“They will lose a lot of money.

“Why would they do that?

“That’s committing suicide.”

Dick Smith’s sales slump has left the firm - which had already slashed profit guidance in October - facing a $A60 million write down.

Managing director Nick Abboud said on Monday that the write down and uncertain outlook for trading meant Dick Smith was unable to stand by its previous profit forecasts.

“We remain cautious on the outlook for the Christmas trading period,” he said.

Dick Smith shares slumped to a record low of A20c on Monday, but have gained back some ground over the course of this week, recently trading at A41.5c.

That’s still well below the retailer’s $A2.20 initial public offering price for its 2013 sharemarket float, which took place after private equity firm Anchorage Capital purchased the business for $A94 million in 2012 from supermarket operator Woolworths.

The IPO valued the company at $A520 million.

Dick Smith had a market value of $A99 million yesterday.

Television New Zealand has defended the renovation of its Auckland headquarters, which is over budget, while refusing to confirm the final cost.

Chair Joan Withers, who was last month named supreme winner at this year’s Women of Influence awards, said the addi-

tional cost of the renovation was “less than $20 million,” but she wouldn’t be more specific when appearing at the state-owned enterprise’s annual select committee review.

Her response came after Labour MP Kris Faafoi, a former TVNZ journalist, said he had heard the cost blowout was bout $25 million, on top of the $35 mil-

lion initial cost of the renovations which began last year, taking the total cost of the project to $60 million.

That was denied by Withers, who said the additional costs “are not that high,” but refused to confirm how much the renovations would cost in total after repeated questions from Faafoi.

■ COMMENT

There’s plenty still happening A

s we get closer to the end of the year we start to take stock of this year and acknowledge that it has been an action-packed one.

With less than a month to go, however, there is still a lot of market-moving data to come.

New Zealand has two significant events to look toward before the end of the year.

Firstly, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is set to have its final meeting for the year on December 10 and there is a chance that another cut to the official cash rate (OCR) could happen.

The OCR is at 2.75 per cent with the potential cut taking the rate to 2.50 per cent, reversing all the increases from the beginning of the year. The market remains split on whether this will happen or not.

The RBNZ has clearly signalled its intention to reduce the OCR once more, a measure supported

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

by weak dairy prices, very low inflation and a fragile global economy.

However, with recent data, including business and consumer confidence, looking more positive, combined with the prospect of some Fed-induced currency weakness in the following week, the RBNZ could still choose to hold rates until next year.

The second significant event on our local calendar will be Fonterra’s milk payout forecast, set to be updated next week. The global dairy auction this week saw a small rise in dairy prices of 3.6 per cent, the first rise in four auctions.

Prices are now up just 3.8 per cent compared to six months ago and this may not be enough for Fonterra to be able to maintain the current payout level. The outlook remains subdued with the market expecting higher levels of supply from around the world to continue to put pressure on prices.

At present, most local economists are expecting a payout slightly below the current $4.60.

It appears very likely that many dairy farmers will experience a second consecutive season of negative cashflows, with industry body DairyNZ suggesting the average farmer needs a payout of about $5.30 to break even.

Mark Wilson, Lily Spittal and Joe Todhunter are in training for the Coast to Coast in February.

■ COAST TO COAST

Packer a mentor?

Trio set for gut-buster

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Three Mount Hutt College students will pit themselves against the elements in the gruelling Coast to Coast race in February.

Mark Wilson, Lily Spittal and Joe Todhunter have been putting in the hours to ensure that they are well prepared for what is often described as “a rite of passage” for multisport athletes.

The 2016 race will start on the West Coast, at Kumara Beach, and spans across the width of the South Island, finishing on the East Coast at New Brighton Beach in Christchurch.

Competitors leave on foot,

running 3km inland to their waiting bikes, and then follow the Taramakau River to the foothills of the Southern Alps where they will switch their bikes for runners.

Todhunter is the team’s cyclist and will contest a 55km ride on day one, and 15km and 70km courses on day two.

Todhunter will be training four times a week over summer, and despite being new to cycling, coach Glen Currie is confident the 16-year-old’s natural fitness and background in downhill mountain biking will offer a good foundation for his preparation.

As the trio’s runner, Wilson

will take on a lung-busting 33km mountain run.

The 16-year-old will encounter multiple river crossings and an elevation of nearly 800m on his way to Goat Pass and the start of his descent.

Currie said Wilson has already set some impressive times in long distance runs and is training three days a week, which will increase to four days, varying from one-hour speed sessions to three-hour endurance runs.

Spittal will enter the fray in her kayak at Waimakariri River.

The 16-year-old will paddle 67kms from the heart of the Southern Alps to the Canterbury

Plains where the 70km ride is the last stretch to the finish.

Spittal has been training in her kayak three times each week and also cross-trains twice weekly.

Currie, who has participated in the event in previous years, said the students have shown plenty of dedication in training for their respective challenges and has also been giving the threesome some advice on what to expect.

“I have just helped them out with advice in terms of training plans and gear, as well as working with students over summer to develop the skills to achieve the task,” he said.

Hunt jumps to Rousey’s defence By david skipwith Veteran UFC fighter Mark Hunt has scoffed at suggestions Ronda Rousey deliberately lost her headline fight against Holly Holm in Melbourne last month.

The previously unbeaten Rousey lost her bantamweight title in front of more than 56,000 fans at UFC 193 at Etihad Stadium when Holm knocked her out with a stunning kick in the opening round.

Hunt, who had a second round TKO over Antonio Silva that day, has dismissed claims made by former WWE star and two-time world heavyweight champion turned podcaster Peter “Taz”

NRL clubs will receive an extra $100 million per year of funding after coming to terms with the game’s governing body yesterday.

The agreement, which will begin alongside the new $1.8 billion television rights deal in 2018, comes after prolonged negotiations between the ARL Commission and club chairmen. “This agreement is a very significant milestone for the game of rugby league,” NRL clubs’ representative Bart Campbell said.

- AAP

Senerchia, that Rousey’s defeat was arranged and part of a wider strategy designed to accommodate her increasingly busy schedule.

“I don’t think so. Fighting is fighting and there’s no scripted bullshit,” said Hunt.

“It’s real and one person has to lose and that’s what happened.

“She lost that fight against a better-prepared fighter and that was it.

“Both Ronda and Holly are really great girls. Holly had already been baptised in fire, as a world champion in boxing, but Ronda is predominantly a beginner.

“She’d only had 12 fights before that and she’s a great fighter

nonetheless and one of the best and was undefeated until that fight, but she had the wrong plan.”

Hunt took time to praise Rousey for her trail-blazing work in raising the profile of women’s mixed martial arts.

“Both of them are great fighters. I give Ronda props for being a pioneer for women,” he said.

“She’s led the way and if it wasn’t for Ronda Rousey they wouldn’t be doing what they are doing.”

After having initial doubts about whether to release his new book, Hunt is pleased with how his story has been received after realising the positive impact it

has had on many of his fans.

Based in Australia, the 41-yearold is enjoying being back in his home city and understands that his journey from troubled teen to global superstar can inspire young Kiwis from similarly turbulent backgrounds.

“That’s the main reason I wrote the book. I don’t like to be airing my rubbish out in public but I know there’s a lot of people struggling with life. I’m a Kiwi and a lot of people here in New Zealand can associate my story with theirs. I’ve had people reach out to me at book signings, saying ‘your book saved my life’ and I’m thankful that I can touch people like that.”

- NZME

Former Kiwis and Warriors front-rower Russell Packer can play a critical role in helping to mentor troubled NRL youngsters, according to Rugby League Players’ Association president Clint Newton. Packer’s return to the NRL has been okayed by the game’s governing body, but the Immigration Department has indicated the Kiwi international could have his passport revoked after being found guilty of a vicious assault. “I think he could play a crucial role in the future development of players who potentially might be heading down the path that’s not best for them,” said Newton.

Farah staying at Tigers Rugby league’s most fractured relationship is “75 to 80 per cent” sorted, with Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor confirming Robbie Farah will remain at the club in 2016.

Farah will also have the next three- and-a-half months to prove his worth, with Taylor stating he will determine the hooker’s first-grade future based on his training performances. “The facts are Robbie will be considered for a position in the team every week and there is no reason that he won’t be the starting hooker in round one,” Taylor said yesterday. - AAP

Isis ‘not changing’ An Australia rugby league team has refused to alter the name they share with terrorist group Isis.

Isis Devils, from the Isis region of Queensland have long used the name and will not budge despite growing pressure. “We’ve had this name for a long time and other places can do what they like, really,” team spokesperson Kevin Grant said. “We’ve been Isis for a long time. Newcomers come along and adopt our name. We’re not going to change.”

In brief Challenge for Lowndes Craig Lowndes says he’s relishing the pressure of having to win all three races at this weekend’s V8 Supercars finale in Sydney in order to cause a title boilover. Secondplaced Lowndes must sweep this weekend’s Sydney 500 meeting if he is to overhaul series leader Mark Winterbottom’s 179-point lead and claim his first championship since 1999. The 41-year-old Red Bull Racing driver says anything can happen at the tight street circuit at Sydney Olympic Park and he welcomes the challenge.

Driver clash hurts team Mercedes Formula One team boss Toto Wolff says the team’s biggest weakness is the sometimes fractious relationship between world champion Lewis Hamilton and teammate Nico Rosberg. In an interview with Motorsport.com Wolff suggested Mercedes would consider changing its driver line-up if relationship strains affected the team.

Following differences this season, which continued in the F1 finale in Abu Dhabi, Wolff said “having always one (driver) upset” was something that “spills over into the team” and “needs to stop”. - DPA

Breakers investigate racial abuse claims The Breakers believe there may be a misunderstanding behind allegations that fans directed racial abuse at Perth Wildcats centre Nate Jawai during Thursday night’s game at the North Shore Events Centre.

Perth coach Trevor Gleeson requested additional security behind his bench during the game and said post-match that Jawai, an Indigenous Australian of Torres Strait Islander descent, was subject to abuse by an unidentified fan while sitting courtside.

The Breakers are investigating the matter further and general manager Richard Clarke accepts there was an exchange between fans and Jawai, but remains confident no racial abuse took place.

Having spoken with season members and the NBL referees’ manager who were in close proximity to the Wildcats bench, he believes the incident may be the result of a misunderstanding.

“There was definitely an exchange between Nate and some

of our fans but there certainly hasn’t been any suggestion (from fans) it was abusive, particularly racially abusive,” said Clarke.

“There may have been a little bit of a misunderstanding as to the context of what was said.

“We’ve talked to a number of our members in that area and had them approach us independently saying they’re surprised by these (Gleeson’s) comments and that there wasn’t anything racial said, that there may have been a misunderstanding between what was said and what Nate heard.

“We’ve also talked to the NBL referees’ manager (Ken Coulson) who sits in that exact area and he’s concerned that he has not heard anything racial last night.”

The Breakers have not received an official complaint from the Wildcats or through the NBL, and Clarke was yesterday staunch in defending the club’s fans, saying they are often proactive in reporting any offensive

Perth’s Nate Jawai. behaviour within the stands.

“We’d be very surprised, particularly from that group of fans who are season members, and in many cases people who have been with us for 10 years or more.

“They are often very self-policing in that area and will identify issues and advise security themselves if there is behaviour they don’t see as acceptable.”

The incident comes a week after a fan was ejected from WIN Entertainment Centre for pouring beer on Sydney Kings import Marcus Thornton during last Wednesday’s loss to Illawarra.

The Breakers’ bounceback 9978 victory over Perth was an important one.

The winner of that particular four-game set has eventually lifted the Australian NBL trophy in five of the last six seasons.

Tom Abercrombie led all scorers with 23, Charles Jackson had a huge double-double and the Breakers received key contributions throughout the squad to clinch the series and, they hope, continue that recent trend.

While that trend can be owed much to the Breakers’ dominance of the competition this decade, it also illustrates one thing: whoever emergences triumphant from what can be a titanic 160-minute tussle between these two teams has a very good chance of claiming the overall spoils.

Any All Black interest about jousting with England and their new coach Eddie Jones will be done from the sidelines for the next few years. When those clashes resume, probably in late 2017, the All Blacks may have Ian Foster or a new coach leading them after Steve Hansen’s probable swansong after a three tests mid-year series against the Lions. England’s test calendar next November is full as they host the Springboks, Fiji, Pumas and the Wallabies while Wales have one available weekend when the All Blacks are reportedly playing Ireland.

Top cyclists on track New Zealand has proven track pedalling power, but the country’s cycling fraternity will also showcase their event management skills at the second round of the international governing body’s three annual World Cups in Cambridge. Organisers expect 28 current world or Olympic champions to compete among 571 riders and staff from 39 countries in the gladiatorial atmosphere of the Avantidrome. Such events are the means by which qualifying points are earned for March’s world championships and August’s Rio Olympics. Hayden Roulston and Lauren Ellis will be on track for New Zealand.

Hat-trick for Origi Liverpool ran riot to reach the League Cup semi-finals with a 6-1 thrashing of Southampton yesterday, with Divock Origi grabbing a hat-trick and Daniel Sturridge netting a brace. Jordon Ibe added his name to the scoresheet as Liverpool emphatically overcame the early blow of Sadio Mane putting the hosts ahead inside a minute to emphasise their resurgence under new manager Juergen Klopp.

Klopp’s side, who have now won seven of their past eight games, will play Stoke City in the two-leg semi-finals while Manchester City take on Everton.

In brief

■ FOOTBALL

Fan ban to be reviewed

By Emma KEmp FFA chief executive David Gallop has conceded he “got it wrong” by failing to come out earlier and denounce the banned fans leak, while chairman Steven Lowy has vowed to review the A-League’s appeals policy.

Lowy fronted the media for the first time yesterday in response to deepening fan anger across the code following News Corp Australia’s publication of 198 banned spectators late last month.

Tensions have boiled over since Gallop’s media conference on Tuesday, when his perceived inability to show leadership and defend the sport led to outcry from coaches, executives and players.

Active supporter groups from Western Sydney, Sydney FC and Central Coast subsequently stepped up their protests from last weekend’s walkouts, pledging to boycott this week’s matches entirely.

Gallop, who remained all but silent on the issue for 10 days while he was away in India, admitted “we should have said more earlier”.

“It was an article that unfairly tarnished the vast majority of decent football people,” Gallop said.

Lowy said he would take a proposal to review the unpopular banning process to the FFA board, adding a new policy should be finalised by the next board meeting in February.

He said it would involve extensive consultation with all stake-

David Gallop: “We should have said more earlier”. holders including fans.

Supporters are furious FFA is still insisting fans seeking to have a ban overturned must prove their innocence while the governing body won’t disclose evidence used to ban them.

Gallop said that was something the review would address, but it was far from a done deal.

“On the one side, you want complete transparency.

“On the other, you want to protect the ability to get that information,” he said. “There is information that comes in on a confidential basis and it’s only provided if it’s kept confidential,

so we’ve got to be careful how we look at that in this review.”

It is understood the reason FFA is unable to share evidence with the fans is due to a binding legal agreement with NSW Police.

Gallop acknowledged more effort was needed in consulting with fans on a wide range of issues across the game.

Active supporter groups have outright disputed Gallop’s claim on Tuesday that FFA had been in regular contact with groups.

He said those channels of dialogue were now being opened.

“We’re here to say we’ve learnt some lessons,” Gallop said.

“The lesson are: stay engaged, give opportunities for people to give feedback, consult with these groups and make sure that they feel consulted with.”

Lowy said he had met Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, the SCG Trust and the chairmen of A-League clubs to help understand and defuse the issue.

While calling for calm among fans, he also condemned some public figures and members of the media for slandering football fans as “suburban terrorists” and “grubby pack animals”, the latter a comment by assistant police commissioner Kyle Stewart. - AAP

of which took place at the same luxury hotel in Zurich raided by authorities in May, the newspaper reported.

The Times, which broke news of the police raids earlier this year, said Swiss police entered the Baur au Lac hotel around 6am (local time) yesterday.

A hotel manager was quoted by the paper as saying visitors in the lobby were told by staff to leave the building because of an “extreme situation”.

The Times report said the new arrests targeted officials - including several from South and Central America - suspected of

involvement in racketeering, money laundering and fraud.

The arrests came as FIFA’s leaders descended on Zurich to discuss proposals aimed at reforming world football’s governing body as it reeled from the worst crisis in its history.

■ TENNIS

Fierce battles feature in Fast Fours Section one of the Terrace Downs Fast Fours featured some tough battles on Tuesday with all three fixtures having split 2-1 results.

The Feutz brothers won both singles against Heineken Openers, with Greg beating Pete Bryant 4-1 4-3, and Jason accounting for Pete Kirwan 4-2 4-3, but the two Petes fought back in the doubles.

Kirwan and Bryant took the first set 4-1, narrowly dropped the second set 3-4 in a tiebreak, but then built a large lead in the match tiebreak to win it 10-4.

New Zealand’s world ranked pairs bowls combination of Jo Edwards and Val Smith have been knocked out of the Asia Pacific Championships in Christchurch yesterday. The duo lost to their Philippines rivals, who are coached by former Kiwi rep and world champion Andrew Todd, 16-13. The surprises did not stop there with the defeat of World No 2 singles player Ryan Bester of Canada losing to Sydney-based Japanese player Kenta Hasebe who will now face Kiwi rep Mike Kernaghan in the semis.

Kiwi bowlers beaten

In the KBT v AshSam clash, Tony Brosnahan was a little rusty for the in-form Sam Bubb, only getting a couple of games in each set, while debutant Adam Wilson played Ashleigh Leonard on the adjacent court.

Wilson won the first set in a tiebreak but Leonard bounced back to win the second set, then Wilson powered away to win the third.

The deciding doubles started well for KBT, with Wilson and Brosnahan taking the first set 4-1, but the duo got a little shaky to-

wards the end of the second set, allowing Leonard and Bubb to snatch it in a tiebreak.

The lead changed hands a few times in the match tiebreak, but at 8-8, KBT managed two consecutive points for the overall win.

Scruff and Co struck spirited opposition in leaders ConAid. Connor Brosnahan stunned Gala Cup winner Rhys Cromie by stealing the first set 4-1. Cromie then fought back, taking the second by the same score, and then hung on for a 4-2 third set win.

Aidan Mitchell started slowly

against Peter Leonard, who won their first set 4-1, but Mitchell played some very consistent tennis to sink Leonard 4-0 in the second set.

A feisty final set ensued, and at 3-3, it was tiebreak time, which Mitchell took 5- 2.

The youngsters got a sniff of victory when they won the first set in the doubles 4-2, but experience prevailed, with Leonard and Cromie making no race of it to the finish, winning the second set 4-0 and the match tiebreak 10-3.

Surprise Australian PGA Championship clubhouse leader Dylan Frittelli says he was perfectly geared for the howling winds at Royal Pines yesterday courtesy of his South African upbringing. Frittelli defied the horrendous conditions on the Gold Coast to shoot a stunning two-under-par 70, making him the only player so far to complete a round under the card. The little-known 25-year-old showed incredible poise, withstanding gales of up to 60km/h to make three birdies and just one bogey on his front nine, having started on the 10th, and shot pars all the way back home.

Charles eyes World Cup Western Force hooker Nathan Charles hopes his roller coaster ride over the past two years will help drive him towards his ultimate dream - playing for Australia at a World Cup. Charles announced himself as a rising star in 2014 when he broke through to play four Tests for the Wallabies. But a torn pectoral muscle followed by an indifferent display for the Force in Super Rugby this season has seen Charles fall well down the hooker pecking order. The 26-yearold is determined to play an active role in the 2019 World Cup in Japan.

Curry runs hot Stephen Curry scored 40 points in three quarters as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 116-99 yesterday to extend the best start in NBA history to 20-0. On a night when the Hornets honoured Curry’s father, Dell, the franchise’s career scoring leader, it was his oldest son who stole the spotlight by hitting 14 of 18 shots from the field and going 8 for 11 from 3-point range. Stephen Curry, who grew up in Charlotte, scored 28 points in the pivotal third quarter.

He hit 10 of 11 shots from the field, including all five 3s - many from well beyond the arc and in the face of a defender - to help the Warriors build a 21-point lead.

In brief ‘Scrap the toss’ Darren Lehmann reckons the coin toss should be scrapped. And the Australian coach doesn’t mind the concept of four-day Test matches, while loving day-night Test cricket.

Lehmann believes the pre-match toss of a coin by captains should be abandoned. “That is one that should definitely come in to cricket, where the opposition gets the right to choose what they want to do,” Lehmann said yesterday.

Tight selection call Australian coach Darren Lehmann sees “something special” in underdone paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile but concedes drafting him into the Test squad is a tight call. Coulter-Nile has been summoned to the Australian squad for the first Test against the West Indies starting next Thursday in Hobart despite not playing a four-day game since March. The move was blasted as “ridiculous”

by Victorian coach David Saker and criticised by ex-Test paceman Geoff Lawson, who says the WA speedster isn’t physically ready for a Test match.

Shield battle hotting up

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Round five of the Pritchard Shield will see Tech entertain Allenton and Lauriston host Coldstream while Methven have a bye.

Following last weekend’s action, all five teams have now suffered defeat with Lauriston’s loss blowing the competition wide open.

Lauriston fell to a 35-run de-

feat to Tech, while Allenton took a five-wicket win over Methven, for their first win of the season last Saturday.

After Lauriston won the toss and sent Tech in to bat, the shield holders were all out for 174 in the final ball the innings.

Jason Morrison was in good form, posting 52, while 17-yearold Oliver Adlam let his former club know what they’re missing

with 46, before being dismissed with the last ball.

In reply, Lauriston were all out for 139 with Jeremy Duckmanton (42) top scoring, but the visitors struggled to make inroads in to Tech’s total as Harry Jones recorded two for 13 and Ben Mably took three for 40.

Allenton picked up a five-wicket win over Methven to record their first victory of the cam-

paign. Methven batted first and were all out for 113 with Sam Medhurst (35) top scoring, while Jeremy Punselie played the role of chief destroyer for Allenton, taking three for 16 off his four overs.

Allenton chased down the total in the 20th over with five wickets intact as Jeff Naish posted 37 and Ryan Bell 35.

Tomorrow’s fixtures will start at the usual time of 12.30pm.

Modi lodges $3.4m fraud claim Chris Cairns’ legal troubles are not over just yet.

A UK newspaper is reporting Cairns, who was acquitted of perjury charges earlier this week, will be back in the High Court in London next year to defend a £1.5 million ($3.4 million) civil claim for fraud brought by Lalit Modi.

Moments after the not-guilty verdict late Monday night (NZT), as expected, Modi issued a statement through his solicitors saying that he was considering his options.

It appears Modi is now set on pursuing Cairns through the courts, taking their legal fight into a sixth year.

The Telegraph has reported the case has been scheduled for the court’s spring session which starts on March 7 and lasts until

the end of May, with Brendon McCullum and Lou Vincent once again possibly testifying against Cairns.

The newspaper claims Cairns will have to appear in person to defend the case which has been lodged by Modi in the light of the new evidence that has emerged since their libel trial in 2012, in particular the witness statements of Vincent and McCullum given to the International Cricket Council alleging Cairns’ involvement in corruption.

Cairns was cleared this week of perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice in relation to evidence he gave in winning a seven-figure settlement from Modi, who had accused him on Twitter in January 2010 of a history of matchfixing.

Australian crowds have not seen the last of New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum despite his Big Bash League withdrawal, with the expectation being that he’ll announce his international retirement early next year. Not even Heat coach and ex-teammate Daniel Vettori could stop McCullum from breaking Brisbane hearts and pulling out of this season’s BBL due to international duty. But there are no fears McCullum will renege on the remaining two seasons of his Heat deal, with speculation rife the big hitting batsman is set to walk away from international cricket after March’s Twenty20 World Cup. - AAP

Steyn to miss test South African speedster Dale Steyn will miss the fourth and final Test against India with a lingering groin injury that has limited his participation in the four-match series to the series-opener in Mohali. With the series already lost and a home series against England looming, few expected the 32-year-old to return to the squad even as his team try to salvage some pride with a win at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium. The world No.1 Test bowler, Steyn will finish the series having sent down only 11 overs, during India’s first innings at Mohali.

Fine for poor pitch

Indian cricket authorities faces a fine of up to $A20,000 after the pitch used for the spin-dominated third Test between India and South Africa in Nagpur was rated as “poor” by match referee Jeff Crowe, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday. Forty wickets tumbled in three days as India beat South Africa by 124 runs with more than two days to spare in the low-scoring contest to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series. The Nagpur pitch offered prodigious turn from day one, prompting Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell to call it “diabolical”.

4/12 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): As lumberjacks know, unless you’re Paul Bunyan the first blow does not fell the tree. Luck will favour you as you work methodically, from many angles.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People love to give you advice today — whether or not you ask for it. There will be so many opinions but none worth acting on immediately. Let it sit. Reconsider in a few days.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Likely you won’t be motivated to move from your spot, stick to your diet or follow your work plan, but you’ll feel so good about yourself when you summon up the selfpossession to do it anyway.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There are many who expect a reward for everything. You’ll go the extra mile without expecting recompense. This difference in you will set you apart and elevate your stock.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Usually you learn by doing, but you probably won’t get the opportunity for hands-on training so you’ll have to learn all you can from watching. The longer and better you observe, the more astute you will become.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Order what you like from the menu of life. What does it matter if you got the same thing yesterday? You know what will please you and there’s comfort and efficiency in that today.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You do the same things whether or not you think you’re being watched, and people sense that what they see is what they get.

Your honesty makes you attractive.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s harder to tell how fast things are moving when you’re moving, too. Stand still to feel the rush of another person’s pacing. A reprieve will give you perspective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There’s a lot to be said for making a few mistakes in the early part of a project. If you were always correct the first time, you wouldn’t make a good teacher later.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Take measures to protect yourself from the emotional climate as well as the weather. Go where there is sunshine, or where there are people who have sunshine in their hearts.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll give someone a chance, realising that if no one gave you a chance, you wouldn’t be where you are today. Go where the need is great, trust your gut.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): A person who is genuinely decent doesn’t have to go around talking about her recent acts of charity and kindness, and the trustworthy don’t make a habit of saying “trust me.”

At The Salvation Army, we see the impact of poverty on families like Amy’s every day, especially at Christmas time.

After Amy’s father Joe lost his job, the debts mounted and the family was forced to move into a small rental that was cold, dark and mouldy.

Amy’s bright personality began to fade as she was shifted from school to school, and her persistent cough from lack of warm clothes grew worse.

As happiness faded from his daughter’s eyes, Joe became depressed.

“I began to fear for our family’s safety,” Amy’s Mum Tracey admits, “I knew I needed to do something…so I called the Sallies.”

Families like Amy’s need your help to piece their lives back together - with food, emergency housing, budgeting advice and support.

Please donate today.

Grant Keenan has been appointed as Black Ferns’ assistant coach, in the process reuniting with former Mid Canterbury coach and two-time Meads Cup winner Glenn Moore.

Keenan, who led the Hammers to the Heartland Championship semi-final this season, coached the Heartland XV this year and was also coach of Auckland B

from 2011 to 2012, after coaching professionally in Japan for Toyota for four years.

Following the Black Ferns’ announcement, Mid Canterbury Rugby Union are now advertising for head and assistant coaching roles for the 2016 campaign.

“We need someone with backline coaching skills as that was part of Grant’s role this year.

“It might take some time to assess our options, which includes

speaking with the current assistant coaches about the roles,” said Mid Canterbury Rugby Union CEO Ian Patterson.

“So at the moment it’s about casting the net, and seeing what potential candidates are out there.”

Patterson praised Keenan for his dedication and success throughout his time as Hammers’ assistant coach and coach.

“I’m thrilled for him.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity and it shows that Heartland Rugby is a pathway to higher honours.

“He’s made an outstanding contribution to Mid Canterbury rugby,” he said.

Keenan and Moore led Mid Canterbury to successive Meads Cup triumphs, and Moore has since gone to an assistant coaching role with the Blues.

Moore, who was instrumental in the Black Ferns’ Super Series

victories over England, Canada and USA earlier this year, believes Keenan will bring plenty of backline nous to the fold.

“He’s a talented coach.

“It’s also important to me having someone on board who knows how I operate, and we’ve had a lot of success together in the past.

“Grant also has a very high understanding and knowledge of backs play,” he said.
