Ashburton’s affordable housing crisis has been exacerbated by the downturn in dairying, a social worker says.

Presbyterian Support Family Works social worker Cathie Withington is seeing a continual stream of people looking for emergency and long-term housing.

Less than a week out from Gypsy

Day on June 1 several families who had lost their on-farm homes along with the job had approached the service for help.

Mrs Withington had heard of one family forced to spend two nights in their car under such circumstances.

“The dairy farmers can’t afford to keep people on, whereas once they might have tried to,” she said.

Another client had been living in a

tent in the riverbed for months before a Housing New Zealand house became available in Invercargill.

A homeless young mother was also sleeping in a car and another had no option but to send her child to stay with a relative.

Coach the Warriors Fans of the Vodafone Warriors have been offered a chance to coach the team to victory.

Applications have opened for someone to take the reins as deputy CEO, for the rugby league team, for a few days alongside current Warriors CEO Jim Doyle. The offer was made as part of Vodafone’s Fantastic Fridays initiative. Mr Doyle said to be considered, applicants must show passion for the team and the job. “Passion for all things Vodafone Warriors is what we’re looking for. It doesn’t matter what age or background the applicants have,” he said.

“We’ll be looking for someone who wants to get to know the team inside and out and who considers themselves a massive fan.”

INSIDE TODAY Dalai Lama’s wisdom ‘extraordinary’ US actor Richard Gere says the Dalai Lama’s teachings are worth travelling all the way to Australia for, after the pair touched down at Sydney Airport. Gere, who is a devout Buddhist, joined the Tibetan spiritual leader yesterday morning as he begins a 12-day visit to Australia. Speaking to reporters, the Pretty Woman actor had nothing but praise for the religious icon. “It’s a very rare teaching that His Holiness is giving. Very high teaching – experiential, something extraordinary,” he said. “So it’s worth coming this far.” Hundreds of people came to the airport to greet the 79-year-old monk, who will visit the Blue Mountains, Brisbane, Uluru and Perth as part of his trip Down Under.

The Dalai Lama plans to give talks on forgiveness and compassion during his Ocean of Wisdom tour. “Australia, also part of seven billion human beings. We are the same.

Emotionally, mentally, physically,” he said after touching down in Sydney.

BBC apologises over Queen death scare BBC officials have issued a public apology after a royal obituary rehearsal went public, sparking false reports suggesting Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. BBC reporter Ahmen Khawaja was taking part in a training exercise to teach staff about how to handle a royal death when a series of misleading tweets were accidentally sent out from her official Twitter account. The messages began: “BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth is being treated at Edward 7th Hospital in London. Statement due shortly,” and later added, “Queen Elizabeth has died.” The tweets were picked up by news outlets across the world and sparked rumours of a real royal death.

Gallagher challenges McCartney British rocker Noel Gallagher has vowed to reform his defunct band Oasis if Sir Paul McCartney writes them a comeback single. McCartney hit headlines last month when he urged Gallagher to end his feud with his singer brother Liam and get the rock group back together for the sake of the fans. “My advice to them ... Just get together and make some good music,” said the Beatles star.

“Like many brothers, they are crazy.

But it would be nice if they got together.” Gallagher has now hit back at McCartney and insisted the only way the former Beatles star could get the warring siblings back together would be to write them a hit song. “I did read that (what McCartney said), yeah... Tell him if he writes our comeback single, it’s on,” he tells Yahoo Music. “Tell him to write an Oasis track and then we’ll talk.

I’ll just put that out there.”

Oasis split in 2009 following a major row.

Pork causes stink The Israeli military has this week scrapped a punishment for a US-born Israeli soldier who had caused a stink by violating the military’s kosher rules by eating a pork sandwich while in uniform. Earlier, the military said the soldier, whose name was not released, “violated rules and regulations,” which required him to be disciplined. The soldier was initially given an 11-day prison sentence. The punishment was later converted to being confined to base for the same duration — after relatives talked to the media and a lawmaker wrote to the defence minister about the case. But the military then changed its decision yet again and cancelled any punishment. “We were wrong. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will continue to keep kosher on one hand, but will not probe a soldier’s sandwich on the other,” military spokesman Brigadier General Motti Almoz wrote on Facebook.

Building consents up 40 per cent

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The value of building consents issued in the Ashburton District rose by 40 per cent in the March quarter, outstripping growth in virtually every other part of New Zealand.

For the three months to March 31, 293 consents, valued at $42.877 million were issued; for the three months to March 31, 2014 the 282 consents issued had a total value of $30.61 million.

Canterbury consents for the quarter were valued at $1083 million, up 18 per cent; nationally the value of building work for the quarter was $3864 million, up just 1 per cent. Of the 293 consents

issued to March 31, 61 were for new homes ($22.109 million) up from 49 with a value of $16 million last year.

For the quarter, 60 per cent of building work came from Canterbury and Auckland.

The strong growth in consents issued for the first three months of the year may not be matched as the year rolls on, says Ashburton District Council building services manager Michael Wong.

“We’re slowing down slightly now but we’re still issuing about 100 for the month and that will keep us on track for 1200 for the year,” he said.

In May, 136 consents were issued, down from the 152 in May last year.

Social agency shares one of its success stories By michelle NelSoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

While Mid Canterbury social services continually struggle with finding affordable accommodation for clients, one agency has had a happy ending this week.

Single parent Bevan, not his real name, approached Presbyterian Support Family Works

social worker Cathie Withington earlier this year, looking for help with accommodation.

After months of living in a cramped one-bedroom unit, and shared accommodation, Bevan got word Housing New Zealand had come up trumps earlier this week.

Bevan had moved to the district to be closer to his daugh-

He was unable to continue the job, and not wanting to take his daughter away from her established support network, was forced to start hunting for more family-friendly employ-

The working poor are also increasingly featuring on the support services books.

“That’s a new problem for us, there are people who just can’t afford rental rates,” Mrs Withington said.

“They are trapped in an endless cir-

cle of debt, they are in deficit every week.”

Mental health issues also make it difficult for people to find accommodation.

“These are the people who find it most difficult to get consistent support to address their accommodation problems,” Mrs Withington said.

“Appearances and poor communication skills add to the dilemma.

With accommodation sorted, she has now put out the call for household items to assist the family.

“The house is currently in the process of being redecorated, and won’t be available for a week or so, but he is already planning to put in a vegetable garden.”

■ SOUTHERN RUGBY CLUB

In brief

Build fund boosted by $100k

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a great few days for the Southern Rugby Club.

With a big building project on the drawing board, the club applied for two grants to help it meet the estimated $220,000 it needs for new changing rooms in the Hinds Domain.

And this week it struck gold with the Ashburton Trust through the Lion Foundation granting it $75,000 and the Community Trust of Mid South Canterbury, signing over $25,000.

Those grants, together with the $100,000 plus the club has already raised, put it over the line in terms of being pretty comfortable funding the build, said project leader David Bleach.

Rugby teams currently use a building that was originally designed as the Hinds Hall as its headquarters and that building is woefully inadequate in terms of shower and change rooms, he said.

Hinds and Mayfield rugby clubs amalgamated to form Southern and the club has re-

tained playing bases in both townships. Its player numbers are growing, with more than 160 juniors on the books.

The Mayfield rooms have already been upgraded and will be matched by the new Hinds facility which will have four change rooms with showers, toilets, gear storage and training equipment.

“The club is still a big part of the community and any weekend it’s great to watch so many kids getting into the sport,” Mr Bleach said.

The club recently built an

embankment between the two playing fields in the Hinds Domain and the new change rooms would complete a long awaited upgrade of rugby facilities, he said.

The club will continue to use the existing building as its social rooms.

The work will be undertaken in conjunction with the Ashburton District Council’s plans to build a new base for the district’s fire brigade and a new toilet block.

It will be ready for the 2016 playing season.

Dearer, stronger rubbish bags on trial

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The bad news is, the price of rubbish bags is going up, but the good news is you’re getting a better bag for your buck.

When the Ashburton District Council signs off its budget for next year at the end of June, rubbish bags will rise in price to $2.20 per bag or $11 for a pack of five. Packs of five bags currently cost $10.

Ahead of the new charging regime the council is undertaking two trials – new, tougher bags and a single bag sale option.

The trial was an important part of the selection process as council wanted to be certain the new rubbish bags were fit for purpose and good value for money, waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin said.

Blue versions of the new bags can be bought over the counter at the council’s Baring Square office while the single bag sale trial will be running at New World Supermarket.

“These trial bags are much more durable and stronger, but we don’t really know how they will perform until we test them out. Anything we can do that is cost effective and provides a better service, we’re willing to

The father of convicted double killer Scott Watson was last night celebrating his family’s “first real win in the courts” after a judge ruled his son can meet a journalist behind bars and break a 17-year silence.

Watson is currently serving a life sentence for the 1998 New Year’s Day murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in the Marlborough Sounds. He is up for parole next month.

Ashburton’s community groups were winners to the tune of $75,500 when the Community Trust Mid South Canterbury rolled out its June grants. The charitable trust gave donations of more than $340,000 to a range of organisations, with seven of those in the Ashburton District. Southern Rugby received $25,000 towards a new changing room block in the Hinds Domain, Hospice Mid Canterbury Trust, $20,000 towards palliative care, Wastebusters Trust, $10,000 towards the purchase of a polystyrene recycling machine, Ashburton Learning Centre, $7500 towards tutor wages, Ashburton Highland and National Dancing Association, $3000 towards hosting the national championships, Presbyterian Support $5000 for play therapy programmes, Rakaia Golf Club $5000 towards shed extensions.

Rugby club big winner The Ashburton Trust through the Lion Foundation last month made grants of $156,256 to community organisations. The biggest winner was the Southern Rugby Club with a $75,000 windfall towards its new changing rooms in Hinds.

The Mid Canterbury Football Association received $24,166 towards regional development and an administrator’s salary, Ashburton Budget Advisory Service, $15,000 towards a management fee, Life Education Trust, $19,313 for educator and administrator salaries, Youth Institute of Ashburton Charitable Trust, for salaries, $8500, Mount Hutt College, $7000 to upgrade and replace musical instruments, Ashburton Playcentre, $5195 towards insurance etc; Clearwater Aquatic Club, $1082, towards television and a video camera for junior coaching; NZ Powerlifting Federation, $1000 towards costs to attend the world championships in Finland.

give a go,” he said.

The kerbside collection team will be able to identify the trial bags which will be blue, are made from a different material and have an official Ashburton District Council sticker on them.

If the trial is successful, the

new bags will be phased in from late June at which point they will be black and look exactly like the old ones, Mr Goodwin said.

If the trial proves single bag sales are popular, it could take a few months before these become permanently available in

supermarkets. “We’re running this trial to give residents more choice, not everybody needs to buy five bags at a time.”

In 2007, a pack of five rubbish bags cost $6.30; 2009, $7.50; 2011, $8.50; 2013, $10; 2015, $11, an increase of about 75 per cent in eight years.

Watson wins fight to chat with journalist

By Kurt Bayer

Grants benefit groups

He sought a judicial review at the High Court at Christchurch last month after claiming that the chief executive of Corrections refused him a meeting with investigative journalist Mike White where he could tell his side of the mysterious story.

Watson had been allowed to write to Mr White, but Corrections deemed that a face-to-face meeting would have caused too much distress for the Smart and Hope families.

But in a “damning” ruling out yesterday, Justice Rachel Dunningham found Corrections’ stance to have been “unreasonable” and quashed their decision.

She said there had been “no rational basis” for declining a sit-down interview between Watson, and Mr White, who in 2007 wrote a North and South article that raised “mounting doubts police got the right man”.

Justice Dunningham rejected

Corrections’ argument that the communication ban was to prevent harm to the victims.

“The chief executive does not identify any reason why his decision to control the mode of communication Mr Watson can have with journalists will achieve the objective of minimising harm to the victims, when the harm identified is the inevitable consequence of Mr Watson’s views being conveyed to the media through any mode,” she said.

New Zealand’s birth registrar has hit the six million mark. A little girl from Auckland called Ava was the six millionth baby to be registered in New Zealand on May 29. Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages Jeff Montgomery said the number of births registered had steadily increased since recording began.

Compulsory registration of births began in 1847, and extended to Maori births in 1913. “There were just over 500 births registered in 1848. By the turn of the twentieth century nearly 20,000 births were registered each year and, by 1950, this number more than doubled to 51,000 births registered each year,” he said.

■ ASHBURTON POLICE

In brief

Facing fresh challenges Senior Constable Mark Prendergast knows Ashburton like the back of his hand - and after 21 years on the beat you would expect nothing less.

However the experienced local cop has spent his last day in the Ashburton station and is now preparing to take up a new challenge in Christchurch.

Monday will mark his first day as a Youth Aid Officer, a far cry from his long-held position as an intelligence officer.

The move was not one he particularly wanted - in fact, he’s the first to say that he’s a “bit miffed” about leaving town.

However with the intelligence officer position disestablished during restructuring last year and no desire to head back to the front line, he knew it was time to take up a fresh challenge.

It will be a big adjustment for the Mid Canterbury native, who returned to Ashburton in 1994 after a stint at the Christchurch Central Police Station.

In the 21 years since then he has come to know the community he serves pretty well.

“I come from here, I was born and raised in this district, I feel a real part of it here,” he said.

“Being able to work in the police here has generally been a highlight and a privilege.”

However it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Mr Prendergast.

On April 12, 1998 he was shot in the shoulder when he and his colleague, senior constable Mark Dryland, attempted to serve a trespass notice on Gian Paul Beange in relation to

Kiwi kids in hardship Children are more likely to be in material hardship relative to the rest of the population in New Zealand than in any European country, the Ministry of Social Development says. A ministry report prepared for the child poverty package in last month’s Budget, published online yesterday, found 18 per cent of Kiwi children lacked at least five out of 13 items of material wellbeing in 2008, compared with only 11 per cent of the whole population and 3 per cent of the elderly aged 65-plus. New Zealand’s ratio of child deprivation to the whole population average, with children suffering at 1.6 times the average, was higher than in any of 20 European countries for which the same data was available.

a domestic incident.

The injury took Mr Prendergast away from the frontline for several months as he completed extensive physical and psychological rehabilitation.

Following the incident he took up the intelligence officer role, which he stuck with until it was disestablished last year.

He also narrowly avoided being one of the first on the scene following the tragic Winz shootings in September last year.

Mr Prendergast was originally supposed to start work at 8am that day but he changed his hours to start later because of an appointment.

“Fortunately I didn’t have

any significant role to play,” he said. “The guys who did were affected by it to certain degrees, no doubt about it.”

While he is optimistic about having a fresh start in Christchurch he is open about the fact that it was not his preferred option.

“I don’t want to go,” he said.

“I didn’t spend 21 years here by accident, it was by choice.”

He proudly describes Mid Canterbury as “the best place in the country”.

“When my job got disestablished I was really keen to try and stay here,” he said.

However it soon became apparent that frontline work was the only option, and Mr Pren-

40 centimetre base for opening day Mt Hutt Ski Area management are pleased with a base of 40 to 50 centimetres after snowfalls and snowmaking.

Up to 30 centimetres of fresh snow fell in the 24 hours to yesterday, and this, combined with artificial snow, is expected to stand the skifield in good stead for opening day on June 12.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said in a press release he took patroller Ronan Maguire up to the summit yesterday by snowmobile.

“Ronan skied Fascination and Broadway, didn’t hit the ground once and had a grin from ear-toear when he got back to base,” Mr

McKenzie said.

“I don’t think he got a particularly warm response from his colleagues who lost out on paper, scissors, rock for the chance to ski today.”

The snow was looking “awesome”.

“And provided it sticks around we’ve got plenty of snow to work with for next Friday’s opening.”

Skifield staff sign up today and will spend next week training.

“There’ll be a real hum of excitement in Methven tomorrow evening as seasonal staff head out for a few beers after our official welcome.”

dergast said he wasn’t prepared to put himself and his family through that again.

The role in Christchurch will be based at Papanui, and while he will commute to and from Christchurch initially, he and his wife are considering moving their family to the city in the future.

One of the things he said he would miss the most is his colleagues and the lunchtime banter which has kept him on his toes.

“I really rate those frontline shift guys,” he said.

“I’m absolutely confident, because I’m invested in this town and I’m leaving, I know that the town is in good hands.”

Charges have been dropped against a woman accused of organising a hit on her police officer ex-partner. The police offered no evidence on the charge and the case was dismissed at North Shore District Court yesterday. Outside court the woman slammed police and labelled it “a set up”. The defendant aged in her 40s was given permanent name suppression and said she was relieved the nightmare was finally over.

■ ASHBURTON HOSPITAL

Rebuild phase one nearly finished

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

The refurbishment and rebuild work at Ashburton Hospital is continuing, with phase one nearing completion.

The first steps of the rebuild were taken back in April, with the refurbishment of Ward Block C. The $8.7 million rebuild of the outpatients area and operating theatre, as well as earthquake strengthening of other parts of the hospital, the refurbishment of ward blocks and an extension to the Acute Admitting Area of the hospital was announced two years ago, in June 2013.

The project was originally scheduled to be completed at the end of last year.

Shortly before Easter this year it was confirmed that Bradford Building Ltd of Ashburton was the successful tenderer for the rebuild and refurbishment work.

The first stage of that work – the refurbishment of Ward

Block C – is now complete and scaffolding around the building will be taken down over the next two weeks.

Ashburton Hospital’s finance operations manager Sue Sheerin said yesterday that the main ward block roof has been replaced and the exterior painted.

She credited Bradford’s for their timely work.

“They’ve done so well with the weather and timing,” she said.

The next stage of the work will be the construction of the new theatre, but first the area needs to be asbestos free.

When clearance has been received the lots will be cleared and work will start on the construction of the new AAU Theatre.

“At the moment we are looking at July [to start],” Mrs Sheerin said.

When the construction of the new building is complete, strengthening on Ward Block D will begin – but that won’t cause any disruption.

The scaffolding around Ward Block C will be taken down over the next two weeks.

Antibiotics ‘not a cure-all’

much is going on, but things are moving as they should.

All work is due to be completed by the middle of next year.

With cold and flu season in full swing, health professionals are warning people to be wary of how they treat their winter ills.

The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners is reminding people that antibiotics are not a “cure-all” when it comes to sickness.

In the college’s newly released policy brief on antibiotics the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria were outlined.

Medical director Dr Samantha Murton said the discovery of antibiotics has transformed the treatment of infectious disease but their overuse means they are now far less effective against some bacteria than they used to be.

Ashburton GP spokeswoman Dr Charlotte Cox, agreed – saying antibiotics are not always the answer and antibiotic resistant diseases are a concern amongst New Zealand health professionals.

While antibiotics are sometimes prescribed she said with time and a healthy

immune system, symptoms will often go away.

“Antibiotics are indicated to treat bacterial infection [and] most colds are due to viral infection,” Dr Cox said.

She said when patients present for treatment of common cold and flu syptoms, GPs will take a history, examine the patient and make a provisional diagnosis.

“GPs are sensible, occasionally we prescribe what is called a ‘back pocket’ prescription for antibiotics – if a patient presents before a long weekend with a cough or cold we can ask them to observe symptoms and if not improved with time then they can fill the prescription.”

Ultimately when it comes to dealing with winter illness Dr Cox said common sense is key.

“Depending on the severity of symptoms perhaps only treat symptoms with paracetamol and/or ibuprofen or nasal decongestants and time.

If a fever or cough persists then it’s time to see your GP, she said.

Pora’s claim - judge appointed A leading former High Court judge has been appointed to assess Teina Pora’s compensation claim.

Retired Justice Rodney Hansen has been appointed to conduct the inquiry into Mr Pora’s claim for compensation for wrongful conviction and imprisonment, it was announced yesterday.

Justice Minister Amy Adams said Mr Hansen was well placed to carry out the review.

“I received Mr Pora’s application for compensation earlier this year. After careful consideration, I’ve decided that Mr Pora’s claim merits further assessment and have referred his claim to a Queen’s Counsel for advice,” she said.

“Mr Hansen’s distinguished legal career makes him well-placed to consider the claim objectively. And I’ve no doubt he will take to this important task diligently.”

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Hot demand for court space

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Court space is at a premium in the EA Networks Centre, with bookings well ahead of anticipated demand, says centre manager Steve Prescott.

“We’ve got a lot of regular bookings and we’re getting new inquiries most days,” he said.

While there was heavy use from some sporting codes such as netball, courts were regularly used for other sports such as basketball, futsal and badminton.

“We get the odd clash of demand. It’s a case of first in best dressed with bookings, but we try to and usually manage to, meet most people’s needs.”

Until about 3.30pm there were usually vacancies in terms of court space, but after that it was flat out in the stadium area, Mr Prescott said.

“It’s great the way it’s taken off, it’s exceeded what I thought we’d do and people seem pretty happy.”

Frequently more than one sport was being played in the sta-

dium and there had been no issues around competing needs for space.

“People seem to be pretty respectful of each other and they’re making sure balls don’t go onto other people’s courts.”

Four outdoor courts have been sealed and once goal posts are erected, will be ready for use.

This area is currently used by netball as warm-up space. Long term plans are for these courts to be covered as part of the indoor stadium.

While that’s in the future, if inquiries and bookings for court space continued at the same rate, that future might not be too far out, Mr Prescott said.

The centre was starting to field inquiries from sports organisations to hold national and South Island events, with the South Island Masters short course swim championships likely later this year and the South Island secondary netball tournament booked for October, he said.

“Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the way this is running.”

Morning badminton players might not have to jostle for court space in the EA Networks Centre, but from about 3.30pm each day that space is in hot demand.

■ CHINA

In brief Party officials reject deal High-ranking members of Greece’s governing radical left Syriza party say they cannot accept a deal proposed by the country’s creditors during a meeting between Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the head of the European Union’s executive arm.

Tsipras’ meeting with Commission President Jean Claude Juncker, which ran into the early hours of Thursday, failed to yield a breakthrough in Greece’s protracted negotiations over the release of remaining bailout funds.

Speaking in Brussels after the meeting, Tsipras dismissed some of the proposals by the institutions overseeing Greece’s bailout — the European Central Bank, European Commission and International Monetary Fund. Syriza party secretary Tassos Koronakis said the proposals “cannot form the basis of an agreement.” Discussions are set to continue.

Flash floods kill 13

Rescue workers remove a body from the hull of a capsized ship on the Yangtze River in Jianli in central China’s Hubei province.

PHOTO AP

Rescuers recover bodies Rescuers cut three holes into the overturned hull of a river cruise ship in unsuccessful attempts to find more survivors yesterday, as the death toll in the Yangtze River disaster reached 75. More than 360 people remain missing and are feared dead.

Workers stabilised the ship with cranes and then cut into sections of the hull, which jutted above the river’s grey currents, to check for survivors before welding the sections back to the hull to preserve the ship’s buoyancy and bal-

ance, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said.

So far, authorities say at least 14 people survived Monday night’s sudden capsizing in a severe storm, some by jumping from the ship during the early moments and swimming or drifting ashore. Three of them were pulled by divers from air pockets inside the overturned hull on Tuesday after rescuers heard yells for help.

Although chances of finding anyone else alive have all but disappeared, Chinese officials have not yet declared

the search over. More than 200 divers were working underwater in three shifts to search the ship’s cabins one by one, the broadcaster said.

Rescuers pulled out 49 bodies yesterday, bringing the toll to 75, Jianli county chief Huang Zhen told reporters.

They were brought to the Jianli’s Rongcheng Crematorium, in Hubei province, where at least two relatives tried to identify them.

Among the crowd observing developments outside the crematorium was farmer Wang

Xun, who noted that many of the boat’s passengers were elderly. “I can’t imagine how terrifying it must have been for them,” Wang said. “Old people should be with their families and go peacefully, not like this.”

The Eastern Star capsizing will likely become the country’s deadliest boat disaster in seven decades, and Chinese authorities have launched a high-profile response that has included sending Premier Li Keqiang to the accident site, while tightly controlling media coverage.

■ FIFA CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS

SA police investigating World Cup bribes South Africa’s organised and serious crime unit said yesterday it was conducting a “preliminary” investigation into bribery allegations surrounding the 2010 World Cup bid.

The unit’s spokesman, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, told The Associated Press that a file had been opened and the unit would decide whether the information provided by an opposition political party called for a full investigation.

“There are investigators

looking into the matter,” Mulaudzi said.

Mulaudzi would not describe the contents of the documents his Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation received from the Freedom Front Plus political party.

There had been no contact between South Africa’s unit, known as the Hawks, and the FBI yet, but South African investigators were willing to work with the Americans if required, Mulaudzi said.

Former Fifa executive committee member Chuck Blazer said in court documents unsealed on Wednesday in the United States that he and other top officials at Fifa at the time took bribes connected to South Africa’s successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup. South Africa won the bid in 2004. The US Department of Justice says in its indictments into corruption in Fifa that South Africa paid $10 million in 2008, through Fifa, to for-

mer FIFA vice president Jack Warner and two other Fifa executive committee members as payback for them supporting South Africa’s bid over Morocco.

Blazer is believed to be one of those two other Fifa executives to receive the cash.

South Africa’s government denies it paid bribes, and says the $10 million was “above board” and given to Warner and for soccer development in his Caribbean region.

A government official says flash floods triggered by heavy rains have killed at least 13 people in a remote village in southwestern Pakistan. Deputy District Commissioner Wahid Shah said yesterday that rescuers were still looking for seven people who went missing following the overnight flooding in Khuzdar district in the Baluchistan province. Shah says the floods damaged or destroyed several homes built near the embankment of a stream. Flash floods are common during South Asia’s summer monsoon season.

But pre-monsoon rains have also caused a lot of damage in Pakistan.

Brit arrested A 74-year-old British man living in the Philippines for 10 years has been arrested to face charges he molested a 14-year-old boy in the United Kingdom. Immigration commission spokeswoman Elaine Tan says Douglas Michael Slade was arrested by immigration agents on Wednesday at his home in northern Angeles City where he has been a permanent resident for 10 years. Tan said the British Embassy requested Slade be apprehended to face the molestation charges. She says Slade previously was arrested in five child abuse and child pornography cases in Angeles City but all the charges were dismissed.

Rebels kill soldiers A group of rebels ambushed a military convoy in India’s insurgency-wracked northeast yesterday, killing at least 10 soldiers and wounding 12 others in the latest major attack in the region in recent months, police said. The ambush occurred as the convoy was on its way from a small town to Imphal, the capital of Manipur state, a police officer said.

The state, which borders Myanmar, has several active militant groups.

None immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. In April, insurgents armed with automatic weapons fired at two trucks carrying Indian paramilitary soldiers in neighbouring Nagaland state, killing eight of them.

■ GHANA

At least 73 dead after blast at gas station A gas station in Ghana’s capital blew up while many people were sheltering there from a torrential rainfall and flooding, killing at least 73 people and leaving a gruesome scene with charred bodies and neighbouring buildings set alight, authorities said yesterday.

Billy Anaglate, a spokesman for Ghana Fire Service, said crews were recovering bodies at the scene.

The cause of the overnight explosion was not immediately known. Neighbours said many people had gone to the station amid heavy flooding in the area.

“We are still trying to salvage the site of the accident before we can come out with an accurate figure,” Anaglate told journalists, referring to the death toll.

Graphic footage aired on national television showed corpses being piled into the back of a pickup truck and other charred bodies trapped amid the debris.

Neighbouring buildings that had caught fire burned into the night as floodwaters around the site hampered recovery efforts.

“Many people took shelter under a shed at the station during a severe rain across the country and got trapped when the explosion happened,” Michael Plange, who lives a few blocks away, told The Associated Press.

The explosion occurred near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, in the centre of Accra. Police public affairs officer Cephas Arthur told the public to stay away from the scene.

“We must allow the Fire Service and National Disaster Management Organisation to work to find trapped bodies at the scene of explosion,” he said.

State radio reported that Accra and other cities across the country have been flooded.

■ EGYPT

Mubarak to be retried over deaths Egypt’s highest appeals court on Thursday ordered the retrial of ousted President Hosni Mubarak on charges that he failed to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his 29-year rule.

The ruling set November 5 as the date for the start of the new trial, the verdict of which cannot be appealed. It would be the third time that Mubarak is tried in connection with the killings in 2011.

Mubarak, who is 86 and in failing health, has since his arrest in April 2011 been held in detention in a number of hospitals. He now resides at a Nile-side military hospital in a leafy suburb just south of Cairo.

The ruling came six months after a criminal court dismissed murder charges against Mubarak in connection with the killing of the protesters, citing the “inadmissibility” of the case due to a technicality.

That ruling marked a major setback

for the young activists who spearheaded the Arab Spring uprising in January and February 2011, many of whom are now in jail or have withdrawn from politics in the face of an ongoing crackdown by authorities.

Judge Mahmoud al-Rashidi said at the time that he dismissed the case against Mubarak because his May 2011 referral to trial by prosecutors ignored the “implicit” decision that no criminal charges be filed against him when his security chief and six top aides were referred to trial by the same prosecutors two months earlier. Massive protests demanding that Mubarak be put on trial took place in April of that year.

An appeal demanding a retrial of Mubarak’s security chief and the six top police commanders, also acquitted in November, was rejected on Thursday.

The killing of nearly 900 protesters during the 18-day uprising remains a contentious issue.

Sustainable solution needed Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he push to make downtown Ashburton a safer place at night must be accompanied by a commitment from funders and the community to make it workable long-term.

Installing new CCTV cameras and providing for late-night transport options is needed, but neither will be worth a jot if they do not encourage a change in dangerous behaviours.

People will have to want to pay to use late-night transport and they will have to want to behave as though they are being watched by police, security officers or their own mothers.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay is right – improving nighttime safety will only work if the measures are matched by people taking responsibility for their actions and acting like adults.

Proscriptive and even coercive measures are also needed, as well as ideas to help people make good decisions and avoid potentially dangerous situations entirely.

The council will soon hear a proposal to upgrade some CCTV cameras. The current cameras have helped solve crimes – and may have discouraged others – so it may be an investment worth making.

At the same time, the multiagency working group looking for safety solutions appears to have settled on exploring how to best use taxis to clear the CBD of late-night revellers.

Anyone who has been in town late at night knows there is a bottleneck when patrons leave bars, which stretches the service and means there are many people on the street. Hence the problem.

If an Orbiter-style bus service is not an option, the solution would be to have more taxis.

And it would be fair to assume this would have happened by now if it made good business sense.

Other social-good services, such as Total Mobility, are partfunded by Environment Canterbury and the regional council might have some perspective on publicly-funded late-night transport.

Of course, that could mean Mid Cantabrians will help pay for the service with more regional council rates, meaning most of the community will help tackle a very select social problem.

YOUR VIEW ECan’s clean air How can ECan justify these comments (ECan to get tough on smoky chimneys, June 3)?

They state nobody wants to breathe polluted air, well the whole countryside has been covered in dirty filthy smoke for months and months. They now have staff out spotting smoky chimneys.

They only come alive in winter – where have they been hibernating?

Claims challenged Last week’s article “Lack of rural support slammed” contained major errors that need to be corrected.

Contrary to claims by MP Richard Prosser, Budget 2015 does contain extra funding to support Overseer software for

CRUMB

nutrient management.

In fact I announced $7.5 million to develop skills and systems to improve farmer productivity, including for Overseer, which is an important tool for setting and managing within environmental limits.

Mr Prosser is also incorrect to claim there is no extra money for Rural Support Trusts, when I announced an extra $20,000 in funding for the North Canterbury organisation the day before the Budget.

In fact, the Government has made up to $200,000 in extra funding available for Rural Support Trusts in the South Island this year.

The extra funding for biosecurity in the Budget ($27 million) has been widely welcomed and will go towards more staff, detector dogs and x-ray machines.

by David Fletcher

In terms of tackling bovine TB, New Zealand has spent over $1.2 billion fighting this since the start of 2000 and Budget 2015 confirms a Government contribution of $30 million.

A major review is under way this year with industry to help make further improvements and maintain the low TB rates we see today.

We’ve also committed $25 million in new funding towards irrigation projects and an extra $10 million for animal welfare.

There is also a 20 per cent increase in tuition fee subsidies for agriculture students at tertiary level.

Overall I believe Budget 2015 is one of the best for the primary sector since National has been in Government.

Opinion Friday, June 5, 2015

The never-ending crisis that is Greece Why is the Greek crisis still going on five years after it began? writes Londonbased independent Canadian journalist, syndicated columnist and military historian Gwynne Dyer.

“

The Greek government would be well-advised to act quickly – for the Greek banks, it is five minutes to midnight,” said Andreas Dombret, an executive board member of the German central bank, last weekend.

And everybody whose memory extends back a few years goes: “That again?

Somebody has been saying that every three months or so since 2010. Why should we believe it this time?”

The answer is that you probably shouldn’t. The ability of the European Union to dodge the issue and kick the can down the road another few months is unparallelled. But it’s the wrong question. The right one is: why is this crisis still going on five years after it began?

Normally, when a country spends itself into near-bankruptcy like Greece did, the whole cycle of crisis, default (or a tough International Monetary Fund bail-out), and recovery takes much less time than that. Whereas there’s still no end in sight for Greece, although its economy has shrunk by a quarter since 2010. But then, Greece is not a normal country. It’s a member of the European Union.

When an independent country runs out of money to pay its debts and cannot borrow anymore, it has normally has two options.

One is to make a deal with the IMF: in return for IMF loans to tide it over, the government promises to

restructure the economy (stop subsidising favoured groups and businesses), balance the budget (collect more taxes and cut spending) and, above all, devalue the currency.

Greece has done all of that – except that it cannot devalue its currency, because it does not control it.

It is locked into membership of the panEuropean currency, the euro, which means that its costs stay high and foreign investment doesn’t flow in as it would after a devaluation.

There is another route out of the trap: default. If the government cannot possibly pay back all its debts, just repudiate them.

You’ll be locked out of the international markets for some years, but you can only borrow at an exorbitant interest rate already, so what have you lost?

So long as the government can still raise enough in taxes to cover its own domestic

spending commitments, it’s still in business. And after some years, you offer to pay all the creditors you stiffed 10 cents on the dollar, they take the deal because something is better than nothing and you can start borrowing internationally again.

A default is not necessarily a disaster.

Greece has defaulted seven times before in its history and almost every default was accompanied by a devaluation that put the economy on the road to recovery. But it has not defaulted this time, because that would almost certainly mean giving up the euro, which Greeks see as proof that they are a serious member of the mainstream European community.

Greece should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place, but the Greek government concealed the scale of its debts and the European Union turned a blind eye to them. Then subsequent Greek governments, equally corrupt and irresponsible, exploited their euro membership to bor-

row a great deal more.

European banks, especially German and French ones, recklessly ignored the risk in lending to a country that was so obviously living beyond its means, because they reckoned that the central banks would bail Greece out rather than let a member of the eurozone default. There’s plenty of blame to go around and the debtfuelled binge went on for years, until the crash of 2008 brought the party to an end.

Greece’s debt now amounts to 175 per cent of Gross Domestic Product.

No other developed country has ever reached that level of debt in peacetime without eventually defaulting. But the EU goes on feeding Greece just enough money to prevent a default – and 90 per cent of that money goes straight back to German, French and other European banks in debt repayments.

There is no way that Greece can ever repay its debts. Either its creditors cancel at least half its debt, or it must eventually default. Anything else is simply stretching Greece’s agony out.

Indeed the Greek economy is already so badly damaged that there is some question as to whether the government could now raise enough income from domestic sources to maintain essential services after a default.

The Greeks have suffered a great deal of hardship already to stay in the euro and they seem prepared to suffer some more.

The European Union is prepared to cut them enough slack to keep them from defaulting, because its members fear the future of the euro itself if it becomes clear that countries can actually leave.

However, the EU will not make enough concessions to put Greece on the road to recovery.

So this unbearable status quo will continue for a while – and eventually the Greeks will say “enough”. But it will still be five minutes to midnight for some months and quite possibly even into next year.

■ ASHBURTON STORE

Redmonds shows ’em how it’s done

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton business has become the first in the country to win the Beds R Us Store of the Year Store Within A Store award.

Redmonds Furnishing and Flooring in the Ashburton Arcade was crowned the winner of the award and furnishing manager Chris Redmond said he was pretty pleased with the title.

“We got the top store within store for New Zealand with Beds R Us [and] it was actually only a new award,” he said. “We won a nice little plaque and the beauty of being the first to win it.”

In total Beds R Us have 48 stores throughout New Zealand, 27 of which are classed as a “store within a store”.

The criteria to win, and rise to the top of the 27 stores was based on the overall look and presentation of the store, a sales increase on last year, the staff, quality of advertising and being a supportive group member.

Mr Redmond said his store had a really good increase on sales, something else he was pleased with.

In terms of the judging, he said there was no mystery shopper as such, but their representative had to report back to the group and send back all the regular data.

Redmonds Furnishing and Flooring furnishing manager Chris Redmond and shop assistant Lois Sparrow are over the moon to be crowned the first ever winners of the Beds R Us Store of the Year Store Within A Store award.

Markets volatile

T

his week markets fluctuated between gains and losses as they processed a number of data points. The Greek debt crisis continued to weigh heavily on markets as the continued to-ing and fro-ing between the parties involved meant further uncertainty for investors.

In New Zealand two events dominated headlines, the first of which was Z Energy’s acquisition of Chevron New Zealand.

The purchase will cost Z Energy $785 million and includes the right to supply 147 Caltex service stations and 73 Caltex truck stops, but excludes Chevron’s oil and gas exploration interests. The purchase is subject to approval from both the Commerce Commission and the Overseas Investment Office, but if approved Z’s market share will increase from 28 per cent to 49 per cent.

The second event was the latest global dairy trade auction which saw another fall in the average price. The 4.3 per cent fall was the sixth consecutive slide and has taken prices to levels last seen in 2009. Last week Fonterra dropped the forecast payout for this season to $4.40 and provided an initial forecast for the 2015/16 season of $5.25. There is concern that low dairy prices could continue for a prolonged period which will put immense pressure on the already-stretched dairy industry, as well as the broader

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

economy. Looking to the US, the second estimate for first quarter GDP was released showing a contraction of 0.7 per cent. The initial estimate had shown growth of 0.2 per cent. The downgrade was driven by further weak data from the period as the harsh winter weather proved to be more of a drag than first thought.

The third estimate is due later this month. Focus has now moved to the second quarter, which is expected to show a return to growth.

This week the Commerce Department said that the trade deficit narrowed in April by 19.2 per cent, the largest drop since early 2009 and much lower than forecast figures.

This was on the back of increased exports as foreign use of US services edged up to a record high. Private payroll data showed that 201,000 jobs were added in May, the largest increase since January and a huge rebound on April’s figure.

The increase was in line with expectations and comes ahead of the more comprehensive non-farm payrolls’ report which will influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on whether to

begin hiking rates or not.

The European Central Bank (ECB) was one of a number of major central banks that met this week and was probably the most closely watched in a global sense. Better-thanexpected data had been coming out of the region and there were concerns that this would prompt the ECB to taper its quantitative easing programme earlier than the proposed finish date.

Governor Mario Draghi confirmed however, that the programme would continue until at least September 2016, which saw the market respond positively.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) also met this week and this time chose to hold rates.

This follows last meeting’s cut of 0.25 per cent, the second rate cut of the year. Following the RBA meeting, Australia’s GDP was released and showed a better headline growth number than was expected, cementing for most that the RBA had made the correct decision in holding rates steady.

The 0.9 per cent expansion in GDP was driven by a pick up in mining export volumes and increased household spending.

■ FOOTBALL

In brief

Early fruit from maiden season

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Methven Football Club are enjoying their strongest season in Mainland Football. The club is fielding a men’s, under 18, under 14, under 12 and two women’s teams each weekend, as well as several teams in the Mid Canterbury junior competition.

Courtesy of the two new women’s teams and an under 18 side, the club has doubled their involvement in the Mainland competition.

The Methven A women sit second in women’s division one, only dropping the one game so far to an unbeaten Western.

This Sunday they are away to Waimak to complete the opening round. Methven B haven’t fared as well with just the one win so far but can double that to end the first round against Ferrymead Bays.

After a strong start to their maiden season, the Methven under 18s were promoted to 18th grade division three and are away to Cashmere-Technical. The MCU 18s were also promoted, now division two hosting Christ’s College 2nd XI. MCU Eastern are at home to league leaders Burnham in division four while in division five, Methven are away to Papanui-Redwood. The MCU Masters have the long haul to Amberley to take on Hurunui Rangers.

Fiji stun Honduras in 3-0 win The biggest ever upset at the Under-20 World Cup or the best day in Fijian football history. Whatever way you want to describe it, Fiji’s 3-0 win over Honduras in Christchurch yesterday gave the tournament an indelible moment that will linger long after the trophy is eventually claimed.

The result was scarcely believable based on the two teams’ opening games in group F, when Honduras beat Uzbekistan 4-3 and Fiji were hammered 8-1

by Germany. Considering six of those goals came before the break, the gulf in quality between tournament minnows and the rest seemed insurmountable.

That all changed, though, when Iosefo Verevou took advantage of a defensive error to put Fiji in front after 14 minutes. The island nation were never about to sit back to protect their lead and, five minutes later, Saula Waqa’s acrobatic finish doubled his side’s advantage.

Kevin Alvarez then diverted a headed pull-back into his own net just before halftime. Victory was sealed after surviving a couple of second-half scares and, incredibly, Fiji are now an outside chance to reach the last 16.

- NZME

Germans impress It proved more difficult than their opening match but Germany were no less impressive in their second game at the Under-20 World Cup. Germany controlled their match against Uzbekistan in Christchurch last night to confirm their passage to the second round ahead of their final group game against Honduras. The Germans illustrated why they are considered favourites for the crown when they thrashed Fiji 8-1 earlier in the week and they again showcased their goal-scoring prowess last night to win 3-1.

Germany dominated proceedings throughout, enjoying two-thirds of possession and preventing Uzbekistan from managing a single shot on target. The European champions took a deserved lead on the half hour when, after Hany Mukhtar had been tripped on the edge of the box, Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Marc Stendera curled in a delightful free-kick.

Skipper Kevin Akpoguma doubled the lead in the 59th minute with a clinical strike from the edge of the area. And Stendera added gloss to the scoreline five minutes from time, finishing a nice passing move to score his second.

Junior All Whites ready for must-win pool game

By DanieL RichaRDson The wind, the rain and the history.

Wellington’s weather has been at its wintery best during the past week, which should play in to the hands of the Junior All Whites who will be more adept to the chilly conditions when they meet Myanmar in their pivotal Group A clash tonight at the Fifa Under-20 World Cup. Myanmar’s squad all play domestically and the temperature in the country fluctuates between 22 and 27 degrees during the year.

Having the weather on your side certainly won’t win you a game but it could be a useful leg up as New Zealand search for their first win at an Under-20 World Cup. Their previous 11 matches, including the ongoing event, have yielded eight losses and three draws.

Victory over Myanmar, who have opened the tournament with defeats to the US and Ukraine, could push the Junior All Whites through to the round of 16 given four thirdplaced teams escape pool play, alongside the top two sides from each group.

New Zealand began with a 0-all draw with Ukraine in Albany on Saturday before copping a 4-0 hammering from the US at the same venue on Tuesday.

“We are probably more used to it than, potentially, they would be and hopefully Wellington will turn it on for us with a nice cold one,” New Zealand coach Darren Bazeley said of the weather.

Then of course, the history of Wellington Regional Stadium is well documented in New Zealand football folklore.

It was the site of Rory Fallon’s famous header in 2009 that sent the All Whites to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as they beat Bahrain 1-0.

The venue also hosted the home leg of New Zealand’s last tilt at World Cup qualification where, despite a 4-2 loss to Mexico in late 2013 as they succumbed 9-3 on aggregate, a crowd of 35,206 filled the stands with white noise.

Bazeley said his squad had spoken of the importance that Wellington holds for football in this country.

“I think since the draw, when it came out that this was the third game, everyone goes back to Bahrain and the white out and the great atmosphere that was there for that game.

Auckland have recreated it a little in the first two games for us, which was awesome and now this is the game.”

Another match in New Plymouth, another brilliant game. Brazil and Hungary served up a classic contest last night, with the South Americans prevailing 2-1, unfortunately thanks to a highlyquestionable 86th-minute penalty.

The result takes Brazil to the top of Group E, with one round to play.

Hungary led early before being reduced to 10 men in the 16th minute, after defender Tamas received his second yellow card.

The Brazilians, cheered on by the constant Samba drums, conjured up some lovely tricks and turns while both sides gave a impressive exhibition of long-range shooting, with Hungary’s Zsolt Kalmar even trying a 60m chip (which wasn’t that far away). Bence Mervo scored his fourth goal of the tournament in the eighth minute, his sharplyangled shot fumbled over the line by Brazilian goalkeeper Jean.

However, Hungarian joy was short lived after Tamas’ clumsy challenge and Brazil held the territorial ascendency from then on, with Hungary reduced to counter attacks. Danilo equalised in the 50th minute - climbing way above the taller Europeans - before Andreas Pereira converted the debatable spot-kick in the 86th minute, after Gabriel Jesus went down in the area.

Nigeria under way The African momentum in this Under-20 World Cup is building.

After Ghana’s heroics, Nigeria got their campaign under way today with an impressive 4-0 win over North Korea. The Flying Eagles, who were brilliant in patches in their opening game against Brazil without reward, were much more ruthless yesterday. After being held by a resilient Korean side in the first half, the appropriatelynamed Saviour Goodwin broke the deadlock in the 48th minute – a brave header – then added a second three minutes later.

That brace broke the spirit of the Asian team and the Nigerians were irresistible from then on.

■ LEAGUE

Ashburton Guardian 19

In brief

Warriors ready for big test Tough games against the Rabbitohs and Roosters in the next fortnight should reveal plenty about the Warriors’ character and their ability to mix it with the best sides in the NRL. After three narrow wins in a row over Cronulla, Parramatta and Newcastle – sides beneath them in the lower half of the ladder – back-to-back-games against the reigning premiers and in-from Roosters loom as the first real test of the Warriors’ premiership credentials.

The seventh-placed Warriors are currently level on 14 competition points with the sixthranked Rabbitohs, who they take on at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday. The 2013 titlewinning Roosters currently occupy fifth.

Much has been made of their ability to grind out their recent victories but senior prop Jacob Lillyman says the next fortnight will provide a true gauge of how the Warriors are tracking.

“These two games will show where we’re really at,” said Lillyman. “If we stand up and make a statement, that will do our season the world of good and we need to see this as an opportunity to do that.

“These are the games you look forward to, especially in the forwards. Both Souths and the Roosters have massive forward packs so we’re really looking forward to it and hopefully

Are more celebrations in store?

we can get the result.”

Despite their winning run, the flip-side of their narrow victories is that the Warriors haven’t been clinical in their disposal of rival sides.

While they led throughout last Sunday’s game, they were fortunate to hold off a badlydepleted Knights outfit 24-20 despite holding a 20-8 advantage early in the second-half.

Lillyman conceded their intensity had waned and admitted they need to show more consistency across 80 minutes.

“We need to put the foot on

the throat and really capitalise on those opportunities,” he said.

“There were a few times against Newcastle when we had them pinned in the corners and just came up with soft tackles or let players skip to the outside and let them off the hook.”

That said, the 31-year-old Queensland State of Origin front-rower sees positives in the fact his side have been getting results. After being on the wrong end of so many close encounters in recent years Lillyman believes the Warriors are growing in confidence after

scraping through some tight matches.

“It’s nice to see we get a bit of luck. Over the years, we’d come off on the rough end in those games that could go either way.

We’re getting a bit of luck and sneaking through and that does your confidence the world of good and allows us to really see that we have a lot to work on but that we can build on it.”

Coach Andrew McFadden agrees his side need to be better to match it with their next two opponents.

“I watched the Roosters on Monday night [in their 24-2 win over Melbourne] and, wow, they were impressive, with their energy and how clinical they were. It’s a reminder of what you need if you want to be a contender at the pointy end.”

They’ll need more than luck to bring down the Rabbitohs, who are finding their way back into top form following consecutive wins over the Eels and Titans. Lillyman is bracing for a huge test up front against the likes of Tom and George Burgess, Tim Grant, fellow Maroons forward Chris McQueen and 2016 Warriors hooker Issac Luke.

“We’ve got to meet that physical challenge head-on. We did last year for 60 minutes. We played some unreal footy there but dropped off at the end and let it slip so we don’t want to let that happen again.” - NZME

Local derbies feature in weekend clashes Bragging rights are up for grabs again in a local derby hockey double header.

The Wakanui men’s and Hampstead women’s teams square off to start the second round of the Mid-South Canterbury Hockey competition at

M5

the NBS Ashburton Turf.

Wakanui Black and Wakanui Blue go head-to-head for the second time this season - a week after the sides combined forces as Mid Canterbury in the Ian Smith Tournament.

The defending champions sit

second with Blue a win back in third as Tainui have staked the claim as the team to beat with an unbeaten opening round.

In the women’s competition, defending champions Hampstead lead the way after an unbeaten first round.

Their sixth straight game at home is against the improving Hampstead-Collegians who have back-to-back wins coming into the new round and will want to improve on a 2-4 loss to Hampstead in the season opener.

Cherry-Evans stays Newly re-signed Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans is set to make his comeback from an injured shoulder in tonight’s NRL clash against Brisbane. Cherry-Evans has missed the past three weeks - including the State of Origin series-opener - after hurting his shoulder in the Sea Eagles’ round 10 defeat to Penrith. But just two days after signing a lifetime contract to stay at Brookvale, Cherry-Evans will take his place in the Manly line-up at Suncorp Stadium. “He trained well this morning. We’re pretty confident that he’ll have a great game,” coach Geoff Toovey said.

Local MTB contest Mid Canterbury Mountain Bike Club will hold race three of the winter series this Sunday afternoon starting at 3pm at the Ashburton bridge. Leading the points after two races is Andy Skinner, on 20 points, closely followed by the back marker Sam Letham, on 18 points and Jamie Johnston on 16 points. Sunday’s race will be around the 10km course and riders will be handicapped to their ability.

The club welcomes all riders to come along and have a go.

Aussie test to go The Black Caps might have agitated for a three-test series against England but New Zealand Cricket are reportedly in negotiations to drop one home test against Australia this summer in favour of three ChappellHadlee one-day internationals.

Australia are due to play three tests in New Zealand in February – the Black Caps will also tour Australia in November – but NZC are looking to trim it back to a two-test series in order to carry on the momentum from this year’s World Cup when Australia beat New Zealand in the final.

“It’s an interesting debate,” White told Fairfax media. “We want a three-match test series where possible and there’s been a lot of valid discussion about that over the last week. But on the back of the success of Cricket World Cup, and bearing in mind we would have played three test matches in Australia [in November], it would be very appealing to have three ODIs in New Zealand.”

Retallick champing at bit to return One simple statistic illustrates the impact the best player in the world can have on a team.

The Chiefs are unbeaten with Brodie Retallick in their ranks this season, while without the big lock they have lost more than they’ve won.

It’s a good thing, then, that a fit-again Retallick will take his place in the run-on XV against the Reds tomorrow, with victory clinching the Chiefs’ playoff place and defeat leaving everything on the line for the final week.

Retallick has suffered an unu-

sually injury-prone Super Rugby season, sustaining the two worst injuries of his career to feature in just five games this year. But his 267 minutes have all had an influence, with the Chiefs running up a perfect 5-0 record with Retallick and stumbling to 4-5 without him.

Three of those losses have come since Retallick succumbed to his second shoulder injury, defeats that have left the Chiefs in a precarious position. But if they were in need of a lift after last week’s humbling against the Highlanders, boosts hardly

come bigger than the reigning world player of the year.

“We’ve got some big boys back,” said Liam Messam, another returning from a minor injury.

“It’s good to have Brodie back – he’s probably worth about 300kg a game. He’s played bugger all for us this year and I know he’s champing at the bit to get out there.”

Retallick confirmed as much, describing his stop-start season as frustrating but finding the bright side in what is the most important year of the 24-year-

shoulder joints betrayed him at different times this year. Neither injury was especially serious but both required relatively lengthy recovery periods.

They combined to leave Retallick short of game time and leave the Chiefs without one of their most important players, part of a locking crisis that at one stage saw a pair of loose forwards occupy the second row.

The tide seems to have finally turned for Dave Rennie’s side, with Matt Symons also returning to the bench after battling concussion.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Methven keep focus simple

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

It hasn’t been champagne rugby of late but Methven are one win - ugly if needs be - away from the Combined Country Cup final.

Methven dug deep to grind out a 21-19 win over Southbridge and set their sights on Bur nham-Dunsandel-Irwell (BDI) in tomorrow’s semi-final.

Methven’s form had wavered in the run to the finals and it wasn’t that pretty against Southbridge but they stepped up to the mark when it mattered to get the job done.

“It was only by two points but a win in finals rugby is all that matters,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

“They gelled as a team and the way they finished off the second half in the forwards was very pleasing.”

A nail through the foot took second-five Andy Hamilton out on the eve of the quarter-final yet the reshuffled backline got the job done after being given a solid platform from an outstanding forward effort.

Palmer is asking for a similar performance.

“It’s going to be tough. They are big, strong and fast. It will be a big battle up front and that is where it will be won again.”

Methven was the end of the road for the BDI amalgamation in their debut season last year, with the hosts getting up 18-12 but couldn’t kick-away from a dogged BDI. Burnham had previously

come down in 2010 and led 18-5 at halftime before Methven came home stronger to win 19-18.

Methven claimed a 23-9 victory in the round robin - on a Thursday night in Dunsandel however all three local coaches, including Palmer, that came across BDI saw the potential problem they could pose.

That intuition came to the fore when they tipped over the highly rated Glenmark 25-23 in Omihi.

Methven won’t take them lightly and aren’t concerned about winning pretty in the playoffs. Just winning.

They made it as far as the semi-finals last year – going down to Waihora 5-13 in Tai Tapu - and have another opportunity to get through to a third combined final.

Waihora host Oxford in the other semi-final.

For the other Mid Canterbury sides there is little to play for other than form ahead of the Watters Cup. After bowing out of the playoffs in differing circumstances last weekend, Southern and Celtic get a first glimpse at each other.

Southern will still be reeling from falling agonisingly short of the semi-finals - conceding a try deep into injury time against Oxford while Celtic were simply outclassed by Waihora.

In the trophy section Rakaia are at home to Darfield while in the plate Hampstead hosts West Melton.

Brumbies captain Stephen Moore admits the pressure to win tonight’s Super Rugby clash with Western Force is unavoidable, given how much is at stake.

The Canberra-based outfit sit equal on points with the NSW Waratahs atop the Australian conference with just two rounds remaining. A bonus-point victory in Perth will all but secure them a finals berth, but a loss could mean next week’s match against the Crusaders at home is their last for 2015. “We have to win to stay in the competition - there’s no way to sugar coat that,” Moore said.

“You can package it up however you like, but we need to win. The pressure’s unavoidable in this circumstance.”

til I was 21, but my old man always reckoned I would be better as a prop.

“When I was at the Chiefs, I sort of fitted that mould as a bench player so I didn’t get many starts. I made contact with Jamie Joseph a few years ago and he gave me an opportunity to come down here and have a crack.”

He arrived in the south saying he immediately liked the place

The NSW Waratahs have bolstered their front-row stocks for next Super Rugby season with the signing of Angus Ta’avao on a twoyear deal from Auckland-based rivals the Blues. The 25-year-old tighthead prop has 48 caps for the Blues and will finish the upcoming New Zealand provincial season with Taranaki before moving to Australia. Incoming Waratahs head coach Daryl Gibson said Ta’avao would add significant depth to NSW up front. “We are delighted to secure the services of a quality player like Angus, who is highly-regarded by our players as a very capable tighthead and a determined competitor,” Gibson said.

Pressure on Brumbies

Hohneck enjoying Highlanders’ ride There are plenty of unsung heroes in the Highlanders team.

Sure, there are some rock stars, but there are also plenty of blue-collar workers, the guys who plug away, get the odd moment in the sun and then get back to the coal face.

Prop Josh Hohneck (right) is one of them. He goes about his business like nothing is a bother. But Hohneck is a key man for the Highlanders, a tighthead prop who is part of a set-piece which has stood firm for much of the year.

It was a long journey for Hohneck to get to the Highlanders.

He played for the Chiefs 18 times but made just one start.

“I’m 29, which is when a prop comes into his prime, I suppose,” Hohneck said. “But I feel like I’m 23. I haven’t got the same miles on the clock as other props.

“I actually played at No 8 un-

Tahs raid Blues

and has played every game for the Highlanders this season.

“Quite a few people ask me what I have been doing different this year but, to me, nothing changes,” he said. “I’m still doing the same thing. It’s just that I’m doing it for 70 minutes rather than 20 or 30 minutes.”

He said the Highlanders pack is not huge compared to other units but everyone has the same philosophy.

“We had to have a total eightman scrum. I’ve got to compliment the loose forwards, who have all really worked hard in our set-piece. It has been quite consistent the whole way through.”

Hohneck, who can also dabble on the loosehead side, was the centre of controversy earlier this season when he was taken off after being knocked out and then returned to the field. The prop claimed there was some ill-informed comment over the incident.

“There is a difference between getting knocked out and being concussed. Concussion is a serious thing. If there was a risk, then there would have been no way I would have played.”

Hohneck has felt fine ever since and is enjoying the ride as the Highlanders keep winning.

They now have playoffs rugby to look forward to but, before that, tackle the Hurricanes in Napier tonight.

What has been billed as a fond farewell to two Queensland greats may also provide a long-awaited welcome to a highly-rated Reds rookie. Queensland coach Richard Graham has named an unchanged starting side for Will Genia and James Horwill’s Suncorp Stadium swansong tomorrow night against the Chiefs. Horwill (Harlequins) and Genia (Stade Francais) leave after the World Cup, ensuring this weekend’s Super Rugby clash will be their last for the Reds at their beloved home ground. However, it may also unveil an exciting debutant after New Zealand-born Japanese Test player Hendrik Tui was named on an extended bench.

The destructive ball runner has finally made a Reds squad after an injury disrupted return from Suntory Sungoliath in the AllJapan Championship.

New Blues proposal As Blues coach John Kirwan effectively runs up the white flag on the season, chief executive Michael Redman is working on a proposal that he hopes will break the board’s deadlock on Kirwan’s future. The impasse between the board – split between those who want to retain Kirwan and those who don’t – is such that the full board meeting scheduled for last week was postponed. “There was no point unless there was a path towards a resolution,” chairman Tony Carter said. Redman was working on breaking the deadlock, between the private investment side of the board – Murray Bolton, Laurie Margrain and John Morgan, who want to keep Kirwan – and Auckland Rugby reps Brian Wilsher and Greg Edmonds, who don’t.

Ashcoll hoping to correct UC course

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College literally dropped the ball in their loss to Timaru Boys’ High School last week in the UC Championship.

Having hit the lead with a try by the post - which probably should have been converted they then went about dropping the kick-off to invite TBHS into the red zone for a chance to win the game.

They took it, handing College a fourth loss in five games - having had their bye - with just their win over Christ’s College keeping them off the bottom rung of the ladder.

They had made similar mistakes at crucial times to go down to Nelson a week earlier - a third game that they had the potential to win but faltered.

College head into the seventh round wanting and needing to win to get their season on track.

“We have to take it game by game so it is Rangiora away this week – a team we should show our wares against,” college coach Dave McCrea said.

Rangiora also have one win from six games - beating Lincoln but have been comfortably beaten in their other five outings.

College will look to do the same but simply need to collect the four points and begin moving their way up the ladder if they’re to achieve their goal of a top eight finish.

Top of the table Christchurch Boys’ High School - led by expats Jesse Houston and Sam Eddington - take on Marlborough.

Also unbeaten fellow expats Jack Griffiths and Luke Gilbert at St Andrew’s are against wooden spoon favourites Roncalli. Third placed Shirley host Timaru while Burnside look to bounce back against St Bede’s.

Ashburton College’s Brady Workman looks to escape a Timaru Boys’ High School tackler in their game last week.

Mitchell loving Wellington extension

By DanieL RichaRDson Brayden Mitchell was only meant to be with the Hurricanes to slog through 10 weeks of pre-season, while All Black hooker Dane Coles took a break.

After spending four seasons with the Highlanders, Mitchell was told during last year’s ITM Cup that he wouldn’t be required for another campaign with his home franchise in 2015.

Following his provincial commitments with Waikato he took a break and went to Thailand with his younger brother Morgan and Chiefs prop Jamie Mackintosh.

It was there – while he was enjoying the finer aspects of a holiday in the sun – that his phone rang and his agent told him the Hurricanes needed another hooker during the summer months.

After missing out on a contract with the Highlanders, Mitchell fell in to the newlyestablished pool of players arranged by New Zealand Rugby that were essentially deemed to be the “best of the rest” among those who didn’t get a Super Rugby deal.

The theory was that those players would be the first port of call for franchises who needed to bolster their squad numbers if injuries struck or players needed time off.

By his own admission, Mitchell didn’t arrive in Wellington in playing shape but the conditioning work quickly whipped him in to line.

The Hurricanes have become a second family for former Highlander Brayden Mitchell.

“I thought that was me for the year, to do all the pre-season training that everyone hates and be back home on the farm or something,” Mitchell said.

But as the pre-season came to a close, second-string rake Motu Matu’u suffered a calf problem and when wider training group hooker Leni Apisai wasn’t deemed up to the task, Mitchell went to South Africa with the Hurricanes to begin their campaign.

The 26-year-old, who is still

working towards becoming a qualified plumber, was sent home to the farm in Gore for a week in March but when Coles suffered an elbow injury against the Blues in round five, Mitchell was called back to the capital.

He has been in Wellington since and following the recent news that Matu’u (knee) and Apisai (concussion) would be out for the rest of the season, Mitchell has made the best of being a man who wasn’t wanted by anybody eight months ago.

“It’s been a bit of an up-anddown ride, to be honest,” he said of the season. “I’m very grateful for the opportunity that I’ve had with these guys, so, hopefully I just put my best foot forward and maybe push for a spot next year.”

Mitchell has logged eight appearances off the bench this season – he made 12 for the Highlanders in four years – and will play from the pine again when the Hurricanes meet the Highlanders tonight. - NZME

Whitelock prepares for return All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock has recovered from his concussion and has been named on the reserves bench for the Crusaders against the Blues tomorrow.

Whitelock missed last weekend’s big victory over the Hurricanes in Nelson and will bolster a line-up keen for five competition points to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Midfielder Ryan Crotty also returns from concussion to the bench.

Prop Wyatt Crockett will start, with Dominic Bird named alongside lock Luke Romano.

While the Blues are in a state of flux with coach John Kirwan naming several newcomers in his side, the Crusaders have named an unchanged backline, with Dan Carter again running the show at No10 and centre Robbie Fruean hoping to continue his blockbusting return from injury.

Colin Slade, Israel Dagg and Kieran Read remain unavailable due to injury.

The team to play the Blues at Eden Park is: Tom Taylor, Nafi Tuitavake, Robbie Fruean, David Havili, Nemani Nadolo, Dan Carter, Mitchell Drummond, Jordan Taufua, Richie McCaw, Matt Todd, Dominic Bird, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett.

Reserves: Ben Funnell, Alex Hodgman, Nepo Laulala, Sam Whitelock, Luke Whitelock, Andy Ellis, Ryan Crotty, Kieron Fonotia.

Bogut, Dellavedova primed for NBA finals Andrew Bogut, the 10-year NBA veteran a day away from playing in his first championship game, walked up to the podium.

“It’s kind of strange,” said the 213cm centre from Melbourne with a smile, looking around at the spectacle before him.

A short time later Matthew Dellavedova walked up to a nearby podium, looked around and also gave a smile.

“As a kid growing up in Australia, this was definitely a goal,” Dellavedova said.

Bogut, the opinionated defensive backbone of the Golden State Warriors, and Matthew Dellavedova, the quietly-spoken Cleveland Cavaliers point guard from country Victoria, come face-to-face tomorrow in game one of the NBA Finals.

It’s the first time two Australians will compete against each other in the NBA’s best-of-seven championship series.

As part of the finals hype the venue for the first two games, the Warriors’ 20,000-seat Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, became a media circus for two hours yesterday with podiums rolled out onto the court.

“New questions please,” joked Bogut, jaded from talking to the media throughout the playoffs.

Dellavedova didn’t make any requests, but his face revealed he was tired of being asked about being tagged a dirty player by a few in the US press recently.

“I obviously disagree,” Dellavedova responded.

The finals are a dream match-up for the NBA. The Warriors have the best regular season record and the most dangerous shooting combination of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

The Cavaliers are headed by LeBron James, who is playing in his fifth-straight NBA Finals and quit the Miami Heat last season to return to his home state of Ohio and the team that drafted him.

The two Australians have their own stories.

“It’s been a long road and this is the ultimate goal for any NBA player or any professional basketball player,” said Bogut, 30, who has overcome fractured ankles, a dislocated elbow and other injuries.

Birthday Greetings

Matthew Dellavedova is working for the Cavs.

While Bogut was the No.1 pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, 24-year-old Dellavedova was overlooked in 2013 but fought his way onto the Cavaliers last season and has become one of James’ key lieutenants.

“I love Delly,” said James, so much in demand that he didn’t receive a podium but was given a large press conference room.

“What he brings to our team is toughness and grit, determination. Just tries to beat all the odds. I love you Australian guys. You guys are cool.”

Dellavedova revealed he’d received guidance from Australian Boomers colleague Patty Mills who helped the San Antonio Spurs to last year’s title.

“I’ve talked to Patty just in general about a lot of things, and he’s always great,” Dellavedova said.

“He has given me little tips and advice.”

The Warriors, favourites to win the championship, have been bolstered by Thompson being cleared after suffering a concussion and back-up centre Marreese Speights will likely play after overcoming a calf strain.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) While there will be a need to draw on past work/ life balance lessons, this is nothing that smart time management can’t handle.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Today is all about wearing your heart on your sleeve and making communication a priority, especially on the relationship front.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Operating in different lanes, money matters are best viewed through the rear view mirror and income matters by looking ahead.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Today is all about listening to your heart and putting yourself first, long before your birthday month and solar year begins and doors open.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Although you’re likely to be juggling many balls, no matter how busy you are find time to escape into a sense of romantic nostalgia.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) It’s by trusting what your heart and gut are telling you that you’re more likely to find yourself in the right place at the right time.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With doors opening to second chances on the income front in 10 days’ time, there is every reason for financial and professional confidence.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The money and professional gods have and will get plenty of attention, with a need to give yourself permission to play hooky.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As you cement your financial desires and expectations for the coming year, it brings home a need to factor in your income expectations.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While your relationships will be on their own until later in the month a push to ensure communication lines are open will keep them in safe hands.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) You’re still in the process of getting a sense of what’s possible and the direction you want things to take, able to fill in the details later.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) As well as being mindful of a need to maintain the right work/life balance, there is a need to ensure you have the right balance between work and play.

Methven continues winning way

Methven have done it again.

The team pulled out a convincing 28-19 win over United last night, continuing their unbeaten streak in round two of premier netball.

They were a force to be reckoned with, not letting United inch ahead on the scoreboard at any point during the match.

Methven started the game as they intended to go on – scoring their first goal within the first 10 seconds of the match, and going on to net four more before United scored their first.

United quickly came to the game, scoring three more goals but still ended the quarter four behind Methven.

Methven’s start to the second quarter was patchy, missing two consecutive goals within the first few minutes.

United made a quick change in their shooting circle – which paid off – and they picked up where Methven left off. The team kept hold of valuable ball and chalked up much-needed points on the scoreboard.

However it didn’t manage to clinch them the lead, the quarter ended the same way as the first

Full focus needed P22

– with four goals in it.

United managed to net the first goal of the third quarter but Methven didn’t make it easy for United to get the ball into the goal circle.

Time was called late in the quarter as United’s Steph Polson appeared to have an injured wrist. That didn’t stop United though, who managed to score three goals before the third quarter whistle blew, compared to Methven’s one.

Both United and Methven started the last quarter with a bang, capitalising on turnovers and tips.

Methven didn’t let go of their grip on the lead and both teams fought hard.

United held fast but an injured Polson left the court with 50 seconds on the clock and the game ended with Methven scoring three consecutive goals, bringing the final score to 28-19.

Methven coach Maree Macphail said while her team was a bit patchy at times, she was ultimately happy with how the game turned out. “I’m pleased but it still does give us something to work on,” she said.

In the late premier matches Hampstead’s winning streak

ended with a 40-19 loss to College – who are now the new Challenge Trophy holders.

Defending premier champions Celtic A had their first win of the round, defeating College B 20-14.

In senior A, Celtic B pulled out their first win in Thursday night netball, with a 31-21 victory over College Y9A. Hampstead B also had a win, clinching their game with Methven B 29-27.

Rakaia had its second win of round two, this time against Collegiate, the final score also 29-27.
