Get your bite on P2

Allenton resident Rex Bennett has been repairing his fence after boy racers that regularly storm Melrose Road crashed into his property once again.

At about 11pm on Monday evening he heard the familiar sound of a car speeding along the stretch of gravel road that heads past the Allenton Rugby Club and down to the banks of the Ashburton River.

Bennett said the stretch of road attracts plenty of good sorts throughout the day, many looking to use the cycling track that runs parallel to the river, or head down to the river itself, but at night the “hoons” come out to play.

“It is a quite distinctive noise. I knew what had happened when I heard it about 11pm,” he said.

“It is just about a nightly occurrence, they just come along and speed up and down the road.

“You could also see where they had done their burn-outs up by the scout den.”

In all his years living on the property, Bennett says he has only ever seen one person caught and taking responsibility for their actions.

Ashburton set to come alive today for MCB

‘Hoons’ are a constant battle

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Today is the day Ashburton celebrates its ethnic diversity, as Multi Cultural Bite opens in town.

And this year’s festival, beginning at 10am, is tipped to be the biggest and best yet.

Twenty-three stall holders sharing cuisine from their home countries will join with a myriad of entertainers, activity providers and guest speakers at Baring Square east.

Alongside will be a shoppers’ paradise at Waitangi on East, with more than 60 stalls.

East Street along the town centre will be closed for the two events.

Multi Cultural Bite has now reached its 10th year, and in the last decade has grown to become Ashburton’s iconic Waitangi Day event, celebrating diversity and unity in ethnically diverse Mid Canterbury.

Traditionally more than 12,000 people from around Canterbury flock to the festival.

This year organisers are expecting a fantastic turnout.

“This is the biggest, and we are hoping it will be the best,” said event co-ordinator Ida Casipit.

Workshops would include a sarong tying tutorial, and there

Ready and raring to go for the 10th annual Multi Cultural Bite are organising committee members (from left) councillor Selwyn Price, councillor Thelma Bell, Rohini Sukul, Ida Casipit, Marion Bartlett and Earl Magtibay.

PHOTO SUPPLIED would be Maori tattoo stencilling, Indian henna tattooing, Chinese and Korean writing language tutorial, face painting and origami.

Guest speakers would include Philippines ambassador Gary Domingo, Immigration New Zealand settlement unit representative Tony McNeill, the vice consul general of the Chinese Consulate

side the event each year.

“I think this is the best one as far as getting new stalls,” said organiser Carol Johns, who had taken on 15 new stallholders among the more than 60 to feature.

She was expecting big crowds, as with Waitangi Day in the middle of the week, many had not gone away for the public holiday.

in Christchurch Zhai Xingfu, as well as Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and mayor Donna Favel.

Casipit hoped a possible shower of rain forecast for the morning would not arrive, and people would be able to enjoy the pleasant temperatures of around 15 degrees and fine spells.

Bus side-swiped by truck

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

A group of local school students had a lucky escape after their school bus was side-swiped by a truck leaving a paddock on a rural road near Methven yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash near the intersection of Woods

Road and Rakaia Barrhill Methven Road around 8.30am. Upon arrival they discovered the school bus had been forced off the road and through a fence before coming to rest in a paddock.

Police later confirmed that the two drivers of the vehicles and four children were taken to the nearby Methven Medical Centre as a precaution.

“Another bus was sent out to collect the students and we have been working with all of those students.”

Methven Travel, who operate the school bus run in the area, confirmed it was one of their vehicles involved in the accident and that they were ensuring their staff member was being given full support following the incident.

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said the bus was side-swiped by a truck that was leaving a paddock, forcing the bus driver to take evasive action causing the bus to crash through a fence and come to a stop in a paddock.

“I just want to commend everyone involved for doing as good a job as they did,” he said.

From P1 “It was a young fella doing his hooning in the day actually and he took out a post on the rugby club side of the road,” he said.

“A few days later the boy and his dad were down here fixing the post.”

Bennett had to restring his fence himself, a stretch he reckons spans approximately 200 metres.

“It is frustrating, I have got other things to do and this has happened through no fault of my own, but I do always think there are other people worse off,” he said.

Monday night’s incident has been reported to the police, but Bennett said he was not optimistic the perpetrator would be caught. He just hopes police become more aware and check up on locations like Melrose Road for incidents like this.

Senior Sergeant Matt Emery said while road safety is still a concern in the district, issues around anti-social boy racing behaviour are nowhere near as serious as other areas.

“Road safety as a whole is a concern with issues around speeding, impairment and the other issues we generally see, but it seems to only be pockets of individuals that are engaging in the boy racing behaviour and it is not organised groups like we see in other places,” he said.

“People just need to report things to us whenever they see them and we can follow them up.”

DNA tests fail to identify Kirsty’s attacker Detectives investigating the 20-year mystery of murdered Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley are back to square one after fresh DNA tests failed to generate any new leads or suspects.

The 1998 killing of 15-year-old Bentley remains one of New Zealand’s most high-profile cold cases.

It was revealed in December that Kirsty’s underwear, along with the leash she used to walk her dog on the day she disappeared, were to be included in new tests carried out by scientists at the Institute of Environmental Science and Research, New Zealand’s Crown Research Institute, in Auckland.

Detective Inspector Greg Murton, who took charge of the unsolved crime file case in 2014, had earlier said he hoped that advances in modern DNA testing techniques could help crack open the case.

But the ESR results have not returned any positive leads or lines of inquiry, Murton confirmed yesterday.

He says the case is still “open and being investigated” and still wants to hear from anyone with any fresh or new information.

DNA profiling – a process of identifying a specific pattern of DNA from a person or sample of bodily tissue – has revolutionised forensic science and global crime investigation.

In New Zealand, there have been several high-profile examples where DNA has nailed criminals decades after they thought they were scot-free.

In 1995, in a joint project involving police and ESR, New Zealand created the National DNA Profile Databank. It involved the collection of DNA profiles from convicted offenders and volunteers onto a central database that is matched against DNA profiles obtained from unsolved crimes in an at-

tempt to “identify any individual that could be linked to an offence through biological material left at the crime scene”.

In 2002, Jules Mikus was jailed for life after DNA evidence linked him to the savage rape and murder of Napier schoolgirl Teresa Cormack 15 years earlier.

It was also the downfall of Jarrod Allan Mangels. After a drunken Nelson night out in 2003, Mangels was asked to give a blood sample. His DNA was later found to match the DNA found on nail clippings from Maureen McKinnel who was strangled at her Arrowtown home on Boxing Day 1987 and dumped naked over the Arrow River Bridge.

The Bentley cold case file amounts to more than 70 archive boxes containing 400 folders of documents and evidence.

Over the years, hundreds of local men have been spoken to by police during Operation Kirsty, including her brother John and ex-Royal Navy sailor father Sid, whose movements on New Year’s Eve were vague, and whose story later changed. Both said police treated them as suspects and vehemently denied any involvement, with Sid doing so right up to his death in June 2015, aged 64.

In 2017, Murton confirmed he was looking at double Ashburton Work and Income killer Russell Tully as a possible suspect. The former local diesel mechanic was later ruled out after Murton quizzed him behind bars and came away satisfied with his alibi.

“I just hope the killer is sweating that one day they will be caught,” Kirsty’s mother Jill Peachey told NZME last year.

“I don’t have a face to hate, nor a reason to assess the ‘why?’ One day 20 years ago, I waved a happy bye-bye to my girl and then she was gone. There’s been nothing to show me what happened.”

-NZME

Fresh DNA tests have failed to shed any new light on who Kirsty Bentley’s attacker is.

Law practitioners scholarship awarded

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mickayla Milmine enjoys helping others, so can not wait to one day practice law.

The 18-year-old finished Year 13 at Ashburton College last year, and is now pleased to have been selected to receive a $1000 scholarship from Ashburton Law Practitioners’ Society, as she heads off to the University of Canterbury this year.

The scholarship is awarded annually to one Mid Canterbury school graduate who is off to study law.

“I find it really interesting, and I enjoy helping other people,” said Mickayla of her career choice.

Society chairwoman Katrina Palmer and assistant chairwoman Sarah Baxter, who are both lawyers at Tavendale and Partners, had much to recommend about the profession.

“It’s fast paced, it’s challenging, it can be quite diverse, you can go into so many different areas,” said Baxter, who is a property lawyer.

Palmer, who works in agrilaw, said her clients and colleagues were the highlight for her.

“All my clients are farmers, it’s quite rewarding helping those sorts of families.”

Kmart rumours Kmart has Ashburton on its radar of potential future sites to open a store. Land next door to Ashburton South Countdown owned by River Crossing Limited was rumoured to have been eyed up by the big box retailer. However, a company spokesperson said Kmart was not currently looking at building a store at the site, and referred queries to Kmart.

A Kmart spokesperson said the chain had no announcements at this time. “We are always looking for new locations to bring people our everyday low prices, and that includes Ashburton,” the spokesperson said. “At this time we have no announcements, however if this changes we will advise the community with a formal announcement.”

Large blaze near Nelson Emergency services are urging anyone located near a large bush fire in Pigeon Valley near Nelson to be prepared to leave.

Three helicopters have been tasked to tackle the blaze, along with fire crews from throughout the area.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand were called to the area around 2.15pm after reports of smoke.

Police said in a statement they were called to assist Fenz around 3.15pm.

Motorists are also being asked

In brief

to avoid the area.

Stephen Cox said the Nelson area hasn’t seen rain in over a month and along with dry conditions, the wind is helping to fuel the fire.

Cox said he first heard sirens shortly after 2pm and only a small plume of smoke could be seen, however, now he says there is a “huge ball of smoke”. “[It has been burning] at least two and a half hours ... there was only a small amount of smoke but since then we’ve had multiple fire engines, multiple police

vehicles all hurtling out there,” he said. “We haven’t had rain here for weeks and weeks and there’s quite a strong southwesterly wind helping the blaze.”

“There’s just a huge ball of smoke and [water] tankers going out there and fire engines going out there.”

Meanwhile, across Cook Strait, fire crews in Kapiti are fighting a mostly contained grass fire on Te Hapua Rd south of Te Horo.

A Fenz spokesperson said seven appliances are on the scene after the fire escalated to the

third alarm earlier yesterday afternoon.

Firefighters in the South Island were kept on their toes on Monday as separate fires in Canterbury and North Otago created headaches.

Plumes of smoke from a scrub fire which runs alongside State Highway 1 in Templeton, near Christchurch forced the closure of the highway.

The large blaze was ignited by a passing train around 3.30pm, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said.

Kiwis across the country are baffled after receiving bizarre test letters from New Zealand Post, which serve no purpose for the reader other than throwing it out.

A person on Reddit shared a photo of the test letter saying how “random” it was to receive this in their mail. “Dear Valued Customer,” the letter begins. “You have received a New Zealand Post test letter. We regularly send test letters through our network to understand our mail performance across different regions of New Zealand. In this test cycle, your address was randomly chosen, please dispose of this letter in your recycling bin.”

Kiwi killed in avalanche The New Zealand woman killed in an avalanche in the Italian Alps has been named by international media as Katherine Clarke. Clarke, 39, was a New Zealand citizen based in London. She is originally from Dunedin and was due to celebrate her ninth wedding anniversary today. Clarke was identified by Italian rescuers alongside Matthew Ziegler, 43, Nicolas Bruno Vergez, 36, and Wespazjan Wisla, 38. The quartet had been missing since about midday on Sunday – the alarm was raised when the group failed to turn up at a meeting point with friends. The group were believed to have been engulfed by an avalanche, near Courmayeur, and buried under 1.8m of snow. - NZME

Owners of traditional tools sought

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is seeking the owners of two historic stone tools dug up in Flemington, near Ashburton.

The toki or adze, (cutting or chopping tools), were found by a member of the public while digging up ground in the Grahams Road/Griffiths Road area.

While discovered around 2000 to 2002, they have only recently been delivered to the Ashburton Museum.

The museum notified the ministry as required by the Protected Objects Act 1975.

The objects are considered taonga tuturu, meaning they relate to Maori culture, history or society and are more than 50 years old.

A Ministry for Culture and Heritage spokesperson said under the act, all taonga tuturu found are in the first instance Crownowned, to allow for the care and

custody of the objects.

“One of the purposes of the Act is to reconnect newly found taonga tuturu with traditional owners, which is usually iwi or hapu in the area of the find,” the ministry spokesperson said.

The ministry has publicly notified the find and called for claims of ownership, and reached out to parties that may have an interest.

“If a single claim for ownership is made, and if satisfied that the claim is valid, the ministry’s chief executive will apply to the Maori Land Court seeking an order determining ownership and custody. When multiple claims are lodged, the ministry works with claimants to find a suitable resolution wherever possible,” the spokesperson said.

The ministry would continue working closely with Ashburton Museum, which was currently caring for the objects.

Individuals and groups have until May 2 to lodge a claim.

National Services Te Paerangi representative Jane Legget goes over some of the basics of museum decluttering with Margaret Cook of Mt Somers Foothills Museum and Sue Hanham of Waimate Museum and Archives.

Decluttering at the museum

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Just like our homes, museums can become cluttered and over-burdened with items.

Some are worth keeping, and some are not.

At Ashburton Museum yesterday, museum representatives from throughout New Zealand gathered to learn all about caring for their collections and

making decisions on what to keep.

“That’s quite a hard decision, because we are always thinking into the future and the best way to reflect our identity and our heritage,” said museum director Tanya Robinson.

She was pleased to be hosting the workshop, run by Jane Legget of National Services Te Paerangi at Te Papa and attend-

ed by about 30 people.

“It’s making the right decision, yay or nay, when something is offered to you, but it’s also about reviewing what you have already got,” Legget said.

Items deemed unnecessary could go to education displays requiring items for handling, or could be transferred to other museums where they had more relevance.

■ CHRISTCHURCH QUAKES

Compo ‘a tragedy’ A petition has been launched to try and get extra compensation for families of victims who died in the Christchurch earthquake.

Hana Fisherova has written to MPs urging the Government to help “alleviate the serious financial, physical, and mental health consequences” of the families still grieving from the February 22, 2011 natural disaster.

For people like Professor Maan Alkaisi and Srecko ‘Alec’ Cvetanov who both lost wives in the collapse of the CTV Building, along with 113 others, ACC compensation of $70 per week for a widow or widower and $30 per week for each child is “insufficient”, Fisherova says. Some families were helped with a $10,000 donation from the Red Cross.

“I believe it is morally unacceptable that eight years after the deaths of their loved ones, the families of victims have not been offered adequate financial compensation by the state to help ease emotional pain and financial hardship, let alone provide lifelong solutions following faults of rescue or other state authorities,” Fisherova has written in a detailed seven-page petition to MPs. “Unless legal changes are made,

this system will continue to negatively impact other families when future disasters occur.”

Fisherova says she was stunned to hear of the compensation offered to quake families.

Many now-solo parents are having to work weekends and nights to try and make ends meet, she says.

She claimed it was a national tragedy that quake victims are not being more looked after by the Government – especially postquake inquiries criticised aspects of the search and rescue efforts, and found serious flaws in the design of the six-storey CTV Building.

“New Zealanders should be more aware of how life after the tragedy has unfolded for the families of those who died,” Fisherova said.

“In order to survive financially, safeguard their health and their children’s futures, the victims’ families deserve further compensation. Some of them need it urgently.”

The petition was posted on the New Zealand Parliament website on Monday. It closes on March 1.

ACC says it administers the Accident Compensation scheme but has no say in its scope, which is left

up to Parliament.

“Our role is to provide the rehabilitation and compensation set out in our legislation to people who suffer personal injury, or to the family members of people who die as the result of injury.

We therefore have no discretion to change the amounts payable, even in circumstances such as the Christchurch earthquake,” a spokesman said.

Compensation paid by ACC includes weekly compensation, lump sum or independence allowance payments to people who are injured, and funeral grants, survivors’ grants, and weekly compensation for spouses and other dependents in the event of death.

“Any review of the legislation to change the amounts payable would be something for MBIE to look at, as they are responsible for the legislation,” the ACC spokesman added.

“Of course any payments other than those paid by ACC would be a question for the Government.”

By August 2014, ACC had accepted 10,379 claims relating to the February 22, 2011 earthquake, and paid out $53,426,000 in rehabilitation and compensation.

Sumner-Lyttelton road to reopen after 8 years A quake-hit Christchurch road that has been closed for eight years is set to reopen next month.

The critical road link between Sumner and Lyttelton over the Port Hills has been closed since the magnitude-6.3 February 22, 2011 earthquake, which brought tonnes of rocks tumbling across it.

But after years of work, a Christchurch City Council team and contractors say they are on track to have Sumner Road reopened to traffic at the end of March.

“Reinstating this road has been a massive undertaking but we are almost at the finishing line,” the council’s transport planning and delivery manager Lynette Ellis said.

“The final push is on to get the road surface laid, the safety barriers installed, and the line markings done. While our contractors are doing this work, there will be trucks moving through both Lyttelton and the Redcliffs-Sumner areas.

“At the Lyttelton end of the road, stonemasons are working to finish the retaining walls.

The walls are being built from rocks that were salvaged from Sumner Road as part of the rockfall risk-reduction work.”

The work on Sumner Road is being jointly funded by the city council and the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).

“Getting this critical transport route between the city and the Port of Lyttelton reopened is going to be a major milestone. It will make moving over-dimension freight to and from the port much easier and it will mean no more dangerous goods convoys through the tunnel,” Ellis said.

“It will also reconnect the communities of Lyttelton and Sumner and open up access to the Port Hills for cyclists.

“When the road does reopen, there will be changes in traffic patterns as some heavy vehicles return to moving through Redcliffs, Sumner and parts of Lyttelton for the first time since the February 2011 earthquake. We will be working with the affected communities to let them know about the changes.”

Food breaks down ethnic barriers O

n a day where things nationally tend to focus on the negatives and the drama, it’s nice to be a part of the little community where we focus on the good within our district.

Waitangi Day, as I wrote yesterday, is so many different things for so many different people but here in our little neck of the woods, it’s a day to celebrate not only New Zealand but everyone that we share our country with.

And we do so by getting a little taste of the rest of the world right on our own doorstep.

Multi Cultural Bite has morphed into this hugely successful

event which draws people into the heart of Ashburton to experience the tastes and flavours from all the different corners of our community.

With a diverse and strong population of people from all corners of the world, the experience to try and see some of their traditions and methods

is a rare insight into a way other ethnicities operate and because it’s done through food, people are very rarely left disappointed because, who doesn’t like food?

The event was once described as sharing our similarities and celebrating our differences and that’s an apt description of this hugely successful event.

It’s a great chance for the people of our community to go out and spend time with people they might not often come across. To get to know them and learn from them in a really friendly and enjoyable setting.

It’s one thing Ashburton does really well.

We know how to organise an event which benefits everyone.

Right alongside the Multi Cultural Bite, you’ve got Waitangi on East, another well-attended event run by locals, for locals.

The pair sit perfectly side by side and ensure that anyone who enters into the CBD at any point today has something there, on offer, that will pique their interest.

And we must ensure we don’t lose these kinds of events, so supporting them is huge and the more faces that head down today and check out all that both events have to offer, the better.

Then, when you sit back down

tonight to reflect on a day off work and flick on the news to see stories of someone throwing a sex toy at the Prime Minister, or someone who is offended because of the way someone spoke, you can at least kick back, put the feet up and say you did something constructive with your Waitangi Day. And most importantly, you did it while helping to support local groups, businesses and organisations while also getting a chance to expand your horizons and try new things.

Who could ask for much more than that on a day which is purely about our great country.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, February 6, the 37th day of 2019.

There are 328 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On February 6, 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, was born in Tampico, Illinois.

On this date: In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, the United States won official recognition and military support from France with the signing of a Treaty of Alliance in Paris.

In 1840, more than 40 Māori chiefs signed a treaty with the British Crown in the Bay of Islands.

This Treaty of Waitangi remains controversial.

In 1870, the first public girls’ secondary school in the southern hemisphere was Otago Girls’ High School. The School opened eight years after the local public boys’ high school.

In 1947, The liner Wanganella, carrying 400 passengers, struck Barrett Reef in Wellington Harbour on 19 January. Only an unusually long spell of fine weather saved it from becoming a total wreck.

In 1952, Britain’s King George VI, 56, died at Sandringham House in Norfolk, England; he was succeeded as monarch by his 25-year-old elder daughter, who became Queen Elizabeth II. In 1968, the Winter Olympic Games were opened in Grenoble, France, by French President Charles de Gaulle.

In 1987, Wall Street Journal reporter Gerald Seib was released after being detained six days by Iran, accused of being a spy for Israel; Iran said the detention was a result of misunderstandings.

In 1991, comedian and television performer Danny Thomas died in Los Angeles at age 79.

In 1993, tennis Hall of Famer and human rights advocate Arthur Ashe died in New York at age 49.

In 1998, President Bill Clinton signed a bill changing the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington

How will you be marking Waitangi Day? T

oday is our national day to reflect on the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. This date is an important marker in our country’s history and a chance to remember our nation’s founding document.

It is a great honour for myself and the Ashburton District to be invited to the Ngai Tahu Treaty Festival at Onuku Marae, Akaroa.

Unfortunately, I cannot be in two places at once and councillor Mark Malcolm has an established relationship with the marae and will represent the Ashburton District.

A formal address is being given

by Lisa Tumahai, Kaiwhakahaere, Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu; as well as Ta Tipene O’Regan and the Right Honorable Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor-General of New Zealand.

I look forward to attending the 10th annual Multi Cultural Bite Festival on East Street, Ashbur-

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

ton.

This year, I’m pleased to observe the attendance of Chinese Vice Consul General Zhai Xingfu and the Philippines Ambassador (Gary) Jesus Domingo: their attendance is a wonderful recognition of this festival’s milestone.

Multi Cultural Bite is a cultural extravaganza and is a highlight on our local calendar. It’s a wonderful celebration of our diverse community.

What better way to appreciate the strength of our differences and connect as a multi-cultural community than through coming

together to share cuisines from around the world and make connections with people who have come to call Ashburton District their home, whether recently or many years ago.

For a lot of people, attending Multi Cultural Bite has become an annual tradition and it’s exciting to see the crowds growing each Waitangi Day. For everyone in the district, I would encourage you to head along to the festival and see the wonderful ways in which we celebrate who we are.

Another wonderful way to commemorate Waitangi Day in our district is to take part in the activities happening at Hakatere Marae.

I will be attending when activities start at 3pm and hope to see you there enjoying the games and fun provided.

I’d like to thank all the people involved in making these com-

munity events a reality and for dedicating their time and efforts into providing our community with wonderful opportunities to celebrate, interact and reflect on who we are as a nation. These events and activities don’t just happen.

They come about because someone or a group of people care enough to give their time.

So, on behalf of our community, thank you all.

Let’s honour this special day in New Zealand’s history by taking advantage of these local activities, joining together, and remembering who we are and the significance of the Treaty signing.

Bodies found in drain Two bodies have been found in an open drain in disaster-declared Townsville as the flood crisis engulfing the north Queensland city rolls into its 11th day.

The bodies found near a library yesterday are believed to be two men last seen when the peak of the floodwaters cascaded through the city on Monday.

The tragic news comes amid tentative signs of an end in sight for the flood-stricken city where victims are contemplating what they’ve lost and the long, messy clean-up ahead.

The Bruce Highway reopened yesterday, allowing a backlog of trucks to head for the city carrying much needed supplies of fruit, vegetables and other supplies.

Planning for the city’s recovery is well under way, despite concerns about more flash flooding.

And while the flood risk will continue for the rest of the week, forecasters say an end to the disaster is in sight.

Residents have been told not to try to return to their sodden homes until authorities tell them it’s safe to do so.

The ongoing risks were clear overnight when Bluewater Creek in the city’s north copped 340mm of rain, with almost 100 instances of emergency crews having to get people to safety.

A staggering 1.8 metres of rain has fallen on Upper Blue Water over the past seven days, but the Bureau of Meteorology was not able to immediately confirm if that might be an alltime record for Australia.

The monsoon trough that delivered disaster to Townsville has also generated floods

Gwyneth lands new show Gwyneth Paltrow has landed a new Netflix series. The Iron Man actress’ lifestyle company Goop has signed a deal with the streaming service that will offer 30-minute episodes hosted by the 46-year-old star and chief content officer Elise Loehnen. The show will feature experts, doctors and researchers and examine issues of spiritual and physical wellness including mental and sexual health, as well as other issues that interest the Goop audience about getting the most from their lives.

Two bodies have been discovered in a stormwater drain in Aitkenvale, Townsville.

out west, with farmers around Cloncurry, McKinlay and Flinders shire reporting livestock losses.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner Katarina Carroll said it was impossible to know how many homes had gone under across the city.

“It’s easily hundreds, it could be thousands,” she said, but added audit teams were being hampered by the enduring risk of flash floods hitting with each new deluge.

The Bureau of Meteorology

says the flood risk will continue for the rest of the week. “... potentially easing over the weekend – there is an end in sight,” Dr Richard Wardle from the bureau said yesterday.

But communities from Cardwell to Mackay could still see heavy and very heavy falls in coming days.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said a recovery centre was opened in Townsville. She also ordered her agriculture minister to consult western mayors about help for farmers.

“We’ve got a long way to go.

I’m asking for people to have patience,” she said.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison meet with flood victims on Tuesday morning, and said he felt for families who’d lost so much.

“A lot of young families, they’ve worked so hard to get themselves into these homes and to see them just damaged so badly, it must just be heartbreaking,” he said.

So far almost 9000 people have applied for personal hardship grants.

Neeson faces backlash Liam Neeson has sparked outrage by revealing how he once stalked the streets armed with a cosh hoping to murder a black man. The Northern Irish actor, 66, said he was ‘ashamed’ by his ‘awful’ behaviour, which happened many years ago after a close friend was raped. His shocking story provoked a huge backlash on social media, with many accusing Neeson – who has previously spoken passionately in support of women’s pay equality and gay marriage in Northern Ireland – of racism. He made the astonishing admission as he discussed his latest film, Cold Pursuit – about a father’s quest for revenge after his son is killed.

EU nations endorse opposition leader More than a dozen European Union countries endorsed Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country’s interim president, piling the pressure on embattled President Nicolas Maduro to resign and clear the way for a new presidential election.

Maduro stood defiant, rejecting a US offer of humanitarian aid that has shifted attention to Venezuela’s western border with Colombia, where opponents were gearing up to try to bring emergency food and medicine into the country.

“We are not beggars,” Maduro said in a speech to troops broadcast on Venezuelan state TV. Spain, Germany, France and Britain delivered diplomatic blows to Maduro’s rule by publicly supporting Guaido after a Sunday deadline for Maduro to call a presidential elec-

tion passed without action.

Sweden, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Poland and Portugal also lined up behind Guaido, who last month declared himself interim president with the support of the United States and many Latin American nations.

In Canada’s capital, for-

eign ministers from the Lima Group of 13 Western Hemisphere countries that took the lead in recognising Guaido as Venezuela’s rightful leader discussed additional steps to pressure Maduro.

Before the closed-door meeting got under way, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned a “dictatorship willing to use force and fear” to maintain its power. He also announced $53 million in humanitarian aid to support the Venezuelan people.

“We know that the people of Venezuela are facing tremendous hardship and they need our help, as do the countries that have taken in those fleeing violence,” Trudeau said.

The coalition called upon Venezuela’s military to allow badly needed food and medicine across the border and

show their loyalty to Guaido.

They also urged the United Nations and the international community to step up with humanitarian assistance.

Maduro showed no signs of caving in and lashed out at the EU, accusing it of taking orders from the Trump administration, who he has repeatedly accused of trying to carry out a coup to get its hands on Venezuela’s oil reserves, the world’s largest.

But he stopped short of breaking off diplomatic relations with the 16 European countries that recognised his rival, unlike his swift move to cut off ties with the US after it threw its support behind Guaido last month.

A growing list of 38 countries has now recognized Guaido, including non-EU European nations Kosovo, Iceland and Albania.

Lovato deletes Twitter On Monday, Demi Lovato tweeted that memes about rapper 21 Savage, who was arrested Sunday by agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, were her “favourite part of the Super Bowl”. The swift backlash apparently has prompted the singer and former Disney star to deactivate her Twitter account.

ICE officials say 21 Savage (Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) was actually born in the United Kingdom and is in the US illegally after overstaying his visa.

One of Lovato’s most prominent critics was rapper Wale, who tweeted “Why is somebody freedom funny . . . I don’t get the joke”.

■ ROYAL COMMISSION

Bank shares soaring

Controversial online ticket seller Viagogo broke the law by offering customers tickets to the 2017 Irish and British Lions tour of New Zealand, the Commerce Commission told the High Court yesterday. While second-hand sales or scalping of tickets is not ordinarily illegal, the Major Events Management Act (2007) rules out the practice in specific cases, including Lions tours, the commission said through Crown lawyers Meredith Connell. The hearing continues.

muneration of mortgage brokers will see change over a two to three-year period,” Harbour Asset management’s Andrew Bascand said in a report.

Bloomberg financial columnist David Fickling wrote: “the fearsome beast that’s menaced Australia’s financial services industry for the past year turns out to have been a paper tiger.”

The Royal Commission has called for tougher regulation, more scrutiny of pay and has made 76 recommendations to overhaul the industry.

In a final report released Monday, the commission found 24 instances of corporate behaviour which it has referred to the regulators for possible prosecution.

Australia’s Federal Government has said it will implement the recommendations which include a dramatic shake-up of the mortgage broking industry.

Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg slammed the banking culture which he said had “broken businesses” and the stress and personal pain that had “broken lives”.

“It’s a scathing assessment of conduct driven by greed and behaviour that was in breach of existing law and fell well below community expectations,” he said. - NZME

Cannabis licences Waikato company Cannasouth, which plans to list on the NZX around April or May, said it had secured new licences to import, cultivate and research medicinal cannabis. The Ministry of Health licences will enable Cannasouth to import and cultivate a wide range of cannabis cultivars for research purposes, the company said.

Cannasouth already has a licence to possess controlled drugs, which allows the company to extract, process, and manufacture cannabis products for scientific research. One of the new licences allows Cannasouth to import dried cannabis flower from the Netherlands.

A Wellington cafe worker has been awarded nearly $9000 after she worked a full shift only to be told afterward it was an unpaid trial.

Helen Mawhinney, who worked eight hours at Sfizio Limited’s Wadestown Kitchen on August 4, 2017, went to the Employment Relations Authority claiming she had been employed by Sfizio and was constructively dismissed.

Sfizio denied Mawhinney’s allegations, alleging she had agreed to undertake an unpaid competency assessment over a portion of a day in the hope of obtaining a position at the cafe.

According to evidence heard by the authority, Mawhinney meet with Sfizio directors Kathy Parfitt and Curtis Gregorash on August 3, 2017, after responding to a job advertisement for an experienced barista.

At the end of the interview it was agreed Mawhinney would attend the Wadestown Kitchen cafe the next day, the authority heard.

Mawhinney told the authority she worked a full shift on August 4, from 8am to 4pm, where she undertook a range of tasks.

At the end of the day when the cafe was closed, Mawhinney alleges she asked Parfitt whether she should give her bank account number so she could be paid for the day, only for Parfitt to reply: “Oh, did Curtis not tell you? This was an unpaid trial.”

Mawhinney told the authority she was upset by what she heard and informed Parfitt she had incurred childcare and travel costs to attend the cafe for the day.

Later that evening Parfitt sent Mawhinney a text message apologising for any “confusion” about the day being an unpaid trial.

At the conclusion of the text Mawhinney was offered a job working at Wadestown.

Mawhinney replied by text message four days later (August 8) to decline the job and demanded she be paid for her completed shift, advising Sfizio they had till the end of the week to pay her or she would pursue mediation.

This time Gregorash replied, reiterating that they don’t pay for trial days, claiming those on trial are not a “productive member of the team and you can leave whenever you like.”

“It is not a day of work.”

Gregorash added that they were also formally rescinding the job offer.

Wellington woman Helen Mawhinney.

When giving evidence to the authority, Gregorash said Sfizio never offers employment to a prospective employee before he/she undertakes a competency assessment.

But he accepted that arrangements around Mawhinney’s attendance at the cafe on August 4 had not been recorded in writing.

In contrast, Mawhinney told the authority that at the end of the interview Parfitt told her she was “exactly what we are looking for” and that they could “give you 30 hours per week but the work might be stretched between the two cafes”.

Mawhinney alleges she was told by Parfitt “to come in tomorrow and work a full shift starting 8am and finishing around 3.30pm” and that she believed the request to work a “full shift” meant she had gotten the job.

In the authority’s determination, Michele Ryan, a member of the ERA, said she preferred the evidence given by Mawhinney, and was not satisfied that those matters surrounding the August 4 shift were conveyed to Mawhinney by Sfizio.

Ryan added that the line between Mawhinney participating in a competency assessment and having her engage in work was crossed, and that work performed

by Mawhinney contributed to the business and provided it with an economic benefit.

After establishing Mawhinney was indeed an employee of Sfizio, the authority ruled Sfizio’s actions amounted to constructive dismissal.

Mawhinney was awarded $7000 compensation, $1890 (gross) for four weeks’ notice and $119.07 (gross) for her work performed on August 4.

Shares in the big four Australian banks have soared on relief that the banking Royal Commission stopped short of recommending a major industry restructure.

ANZ shares were up 5.6 per cent – their biggest one-off gain in three years.

Westpac shares were up 4.7 per cent and Commonwealth Bank (which owns ASB in New Zealand) was up 4.9 per cent.

Shares in National Australia Bank (owner of BNZ) – which was widely considered to have been singled as worst offender by the commission – have risen 3 per cent.

Shares in wealth manager AMP, which was savaged by the inquiry last year (after revelations it took fees for no service and lied to the regulator), jumped over seven per cent.

While he slammed the culture and recommended a number of tough new rules, Commissioner Kenneth Hayne stopped short of calling for banks to be forcibly broken up to separate financial advice and wealth management from day to day banking.

Prawn temptations T

hey might seem like a luxury purchase, but a bag of raw or green prawns in the freezer means you’ll always have the makings of a taste-tempting meal. In an ideal world we’d be able to buy large, fresh prawns every day of the week. We can’t and frozen prawns are often our only option.

The only secret to a prawn dish is to make sure they’re not overcooked. If they’re turning pink, they’re done. Remember they’ll continue to cook once you turn the heat off.

Prawn and potato salad

Prawn fettucine

Hint:

I

f cooking with frozen prawns, it is important to make sure that they are completely defrosted. This can be done easily by placing the prawns in a waterproof package or wrapping in plastic wrap, and placing in cold water for about an hour. Once defrosted, prawns are ready to cook and should be used immediately.

In brief

■ OPINION

Our little town a sporting force W hen I was a young lass growing up in Ashburton, rowing as a sport wasn’t an

option.

You could jump on a rowing machine at a gym or find a rowing club outside of the district if you were that keen and determined, because Ashburton – like a lot of places – didn’t have a rowing club or rowing facilities.

But in 2001, the year I finished my secondary schooling, that all changed.

Lake Hood opened – and now take a look at Ashburton.

We’re becoming known as a true contender when it comes to sports like rowing.

Who would have thought that could be the case 40 years ago?!

We now have a rowing club that has already produced a couple of future stars, and has a few more making their way up the age group ranks at the moment.

For a club that, really, isn’t that old, it has done tremendously well and thanks to the hard work of those who make the wheels

continue to turn behind the scenes, it will continue to do well.

Really, it’s all down to Lake Hood.

Without a lake, there wouldn’t be a rowing club, and Mid Canterbury wouldn’t be able to host rowing regattas and the other big water-based sporting events that it does.

Lake Hood has done so much for Mid Canterbury.

The vision of a group of local people and 14 years in the planning and making, Lake Hood is today just that, an incredible vision that is constantly growing and getting better and better.

Every time I’m there it seems a handful of new houses have popped up, and every time I drive around I notice something different that I haven’t noticed before.

Every time you drive to the lake for an event and round a bend to see hundreds of cars and people milling around watching races, or waiting for races to start, it’s a sight to behold.

Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER

We get a lot of them, too, and not just rowing.

Looking at the Lake Hood website to see what’s coming up at the lake for the remainder of the summer, there’s still the Canterbury junior rowing regatta on March 2/3, a classic boat rally on March 17, the South Island Dragon Boating Champs on March 22/23, and the New Zealand Secondary School Team Sailing Regatta from March 23-25.

The fact that little ol’ Ashburton has the capability to host events like this still astounds me sometimes.

The reality is though, we’re not ‘little ol’ Ashburton’ anymore.

We are a growing town that

has so much to offer.

When it comes to sport, there’s probably not much that Ashburton doesn’t offer any more.

While that may cause headaches for some parents whose kids want to try every sport under the sun, and make for some fairly busy households, it’s a great thing.

There’s so many sports around these days that weren’t available when I was a kid like rowing, sailing and futsal, while some of those that have always been around are even more enticing prospects thanks to developments around the town like the EA Networks Centre and the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre.

When you look at what we’ve got in Ashburton, we’re actually pretty lucky, and we’re making the most of it.

So many young local people are making names for themselves in more sporting fields than I can even think of right now, and that, for our little ol’ town, is a great thing.

■ FOOTBALL

Liverpool stuttering Leaders Liverpool faltered in the Premier League title race for the second time in six days as they were held to a 1-1 draw at West Ham United yesterday.

After being held at home by Leicester City, then seeing closest rivals Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur close the gap at the weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s side needed to send out a statement of intent.

But they failed to build on Sadio Mane’s rather fortuitous goal after 22 minutes and West Ham, who equalised six minutes later through Michail Antonio, deserved at least a point.

Substitute Divock Origi wasted a chance in stoppage time for the visitors but it would have been harsh on West Ham who snapped a run of four consecutive league defeats by Liverpool in which they conceded four goals in each.

“It was a tough game,” Klopp said. “Apparently our goal was offside and maybe the referee knew that in the second half.

“It’s a point and a fair point.”

It could have been worse for a jittery Liverpool side who can be knocked off the top on goal difference if Manchester City beat Everton in a re-arranged fixture overnight.

After two early Hammers chances Reds fans were celebrating when James Milner, who looked clearly offside, received

the ball on the right and crossed for Mane who took a touch before swivelling and firing past Lukasz Fabianski.

The lead lasted only six minutes though as Liverpool switched off at a free-kick and Naby Keita failed to track the run of Antonio who fired inside Alisson’s far post.

A Felipe Anderson free-kick found youngster Declan Rice completely unmarked soon after but he headed wide of a gaping goal.

Mohamed Salah had three goal attempts in quick succession after the break but Hammers skipper Mark Noble should have put his side ahead when he shot over from a central position.

Origi could have given Liverpool a crucial win but fired straight at Fabianski, although he appeared offside.

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini, who did a big favour to his former club Manchester City, said that his side had been let down by the match officials.

“We had a lot of chances to win this game.

“We drew because they scored a clearly offside goal,” he said.

“Playing against a team who have scored so many goals with the best defence in the league, I’m happy with the performance but disappointed with the result.”

Brady won’t retire Tom Brady has expressed pride for his New England Patriots team-mates after insisting a sixth Super Bowl win has no bearing on his retirement plans. The 41-yearold combined with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick to win Super Bowl LIII. Brady was playing in his ninth championship game, but the fabled quarterback has no intention of quitting after the Patriots tied the Pittsburgh Steelers’ record for the most championships. “It’s been a great year. I’m so happy for my teammates. This is a dream come true for all of us.”

Garcia in meltdown Spanish pro golfer Sergio Garcia has been disqualified from the Saudi International after intentionally damaging five greens in bizarre moments of rage.

Garcia lost his cool multiple times during the week at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club, leaving his mark in at least one green with his putter and reportedly dragging his shoe across several others.

The damage was enough to see fellow players complain and consequently have the 39-year-old dropped from the tournament for “serious misconduct” under rule 1.2a of the USGA. - PA

A League evolving Consensus is growing behind a slightly shorter A-League season for the next campaign as the competition evolves to accommodate an 11th team. The tricky dynamic behind admitting Western Melbourne Group (WMG) for the 2019/20 season is likely to mean a 26-match league; a full home and away fixture as well as three additional home and away matches. The significant shift from playing each team three times towards a compromised AFL-style draw is seen as a necessary evil as the league expands.

Relegation looming Leganes have moved three points clear of the the Spanish La Liga’s relegation zone after they edged fellow strugglers Rayo Vallecano 2-1, despite finishing the fixture with 10 men. On-loan Middlesbrough striker Martin Braithwaite opened the scoring on 36 minutes when he headed home from Jonathan Silva’s corner but Leganes’ hopes of holding on took a knock when Allan Nyom was dismissed. It was a feisty contest, in which 10 players were booked.

Calls for racism summit British Sports Minister Mims Davies will hold an “urgent” meeting with football authorities to discuss recent cases of racist chanting and abuse at matches.

Davies will meet in the coming weeks with representatives of the Football Association (FA), Premier League and English Football League (EFL) to address the issues, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in a statement yesterday. Campaign groups such as Stonewall and Kick It Out, will also be invited to discuss what more football can do to stamp out racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic abuse at matches.

In brief Barba deregistered Ben Barba has been deregistered by the NRL after an integrity unit investigation found he had been involved in a physical altercation with his partner. NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said he did not see a time “or any time in the future” when Barba would be welcomed back to the game. The finding came after the integrity unit viewed CCTV footage of the incident involving Barba and his partner at a Townsville casino over the Australia Day weekend. - AAP

Milford in good shape Brisbane playmaker Anthony Milford has played down a scare on his surgically-repaired shoulder but stopped short of saying he was in the best shape of his career.

The Broncos’ half revealed he will turn out in the Broncos’ trial against Queensland Cup side Wynnum-Manly later in the month to ensure his shoulder gets a proper workout before the start of the NRL season. Milford underwent a shoulder reconstruction during the off-season.

■ CYCLING

Davidson best in hot sprint Oliver Davidson’s continued improvement on the bike was evident on Sunday when he secured victory in the A grade section of the Tinwald Cycling Club’s Paul Wylie Cyclerama 48km graded scratch event around the Wakanui Beach block.

Davidson had the best of a four-up sprint, seeing off the challenges of Brad Hudson, Steve Hands and Tony Ward.

The quartet rode the distance in 70.37 minutes.

The B grade spoils on the day went to Ross Templeton in an-

other tight sprint finish.

He timed his final kick to perfection to get the better of second place-getter Richard Kirwan.

Paul Macfie charged into third place, with Craig Roulston continuing his good season form securing fourth spot.

Wayne Whiting put his recent block of training to good use, finding the line the strongest to secure the win in C grade.

It was a hard-fought win, with Paul Chapman hot on his heels in second place, while Roger Wilson showed plenty of dash to secure

third place with Paul Williams in fourth position.

Mark McDonald rode a super race to deservedly secure the major spoils in D grade.

Lucy Kirwan matched her husband’s efforts, with a solid ride to take second place.

Kerry Clough was in the thick of the finish securing the final podium position with the ever-improving Liz Wylie rounding out the top four.

The juniors and division two contested a 16km event.

Jack Templeton rode a super

race to take home the prizes, covering the distance in a good 32.35 minutes.

Division two was a tight affair, with the Skinner stable securing the quinella.

Andy took victory, getting the better of his wife Debbie in the charge to the line.

Emma Hudson took third place with fourth place going to Brian Ellis.

Next week the club is set to travel to the hills to contest a 50km handicap on the Terrace Downs-Coleridge course.

It’s a matter of when, not if, teen sensation Bronson Xerri makes his NRL debut for Cronulla in 2019, according to new head coach John Morris. Morris doesn’t hesitate to nominate Xerri when asked who has impressed him since he initially took the reins from Shane Flanagan as interim coach in late December. “The kid who is jumping out of the box is Bronson Xerri,” Morris said. After losing four of their starting back five – Valentine Holmes, Edrick Lee, Ricky Leutele and Jesse Ramien – the Sharks will be forced into a backline reshuffle.

Merrin gets the push Trent Merrin admits he was shocked at being pushed out of the door at Penrith and vowed to show NRL clubs what they are missing with Leeds in the Super League. The NSW and Kangaroos forward was released from the final two years of his contract with the Panthers in November due to salary cap pressures. He was forced to swap a summer pre-season in Sydney for a freezing cold one in the Yorkshire winter after no NRL club showed any interest.

Hartley to drive development for Ferrari Brendon Hartley (right) has returned to Formula One with the famous Ferrari team.

The Kiwi, dumped by Toro Ross after his first full season as an F1 driver, will be a development driver for 2019 working in the Ferrari simulator.

Ferrari has announced is it increasing its budget this year, as the Italian team looks to finally overtake major rivals Mercedes after a decade without a title.

Hartley joins Pascal Wehrlein, Antonio Fuoco and Davide Rigon as simulator operators.

Hartley is also signed to Porsche as a factory driver and Formula E prospect, but had a clause allowing him to remain in a F1 role.

“Our team has taken on four undoubtedly talented drivers, who possess innate feeling, with a strong understanding of race cars and

tracks,” said Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team principal.

“These are exactly the qualities required in the skilful role of driving in a simulator, one of the vital pieces of equipment in Formula 1.”

Wehrlein left Mercedes at the end of 2018, and races in Formula E. Fuoco rose through the Ferrari driver academy while Rigon races for a ferrari factory team.

Daniil Kvyat left the Ferrari development programme to drive for Toro Rosso.

Hartley joined Toro Ross in late 2017, driving in four F1 races, and was retained for 2018.

Ferrari’s F1 drivers are the great German Sebastian Vettel, a four-time championship winner who finished second last year, and team newcomer Charles Leclerc from Monaco.

■ TAUHERENIKAU

Ladies First eyes Sydney High-class mare Ladies First will take her first step on a path to the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) in April when she steps out at Tauherenikau today.

Last season’s Auckland Cup (3200m) winner hasn’t been seen on the track since a fast-finishing fifth in the Gr.3 Hotham Handicap (2500m) during the Melbourne spring carnival.

The Dylan Thomas six-year-old will tackle fillies and mares’ company at weight-for-age in the Listed Property Brokers Wairarapa Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) today, with trainer Allan Sharrock confident she is ready to run a cheeky race.

“I don’t think I’ve had her better, she is flying,” Sharrock said.

“She won a jump-out the other day and is pretty fresh so I think she can go a good mile.”

Sharrock and the mare’s connections have decided to bypass an attempt to defend her Auckland Cuo crown in favour of the Sydney Cup bid, a move that will see her have two more races in New Zealand before they head to Australia.

“She will run on Wednesday and then, most likely, the Group One mile at Otaki,” he said.

“We will then give her a run over ground before heading to Sydney where she will have one lead-up run before the Cup. “She has put on a bit of bodyweight after her last race in Melbourne, which was super, so if we could get a little bit of rain affected ground in Sydney, she would be very hard to beat over two miles.

“If she wins or runs in the money in the Sydney Cup then she might have a go at the Melbourne Cup in the spring.”

- NZME Ladies First is ready to run a merry mile today, says trainer Allan Shurrock.

Magnum’s ideal distance Former Singapore galloper Magnum will step back to his ideal distance on Saturday after finishing unplaced in the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile at Trentham last month. The Lauren Brennan-trained six-year-old didn’t settle in the mile feature and his trainer believes he is better suited to the 1400m distance of Saturday’s BCD Group Sprint at Te Rapa.

“He was a little keen early, Matt (Cameron, jockey) said he fought him a little bit,” Brennan said. “We are going to bring him back to the 1400m. I think that is his ideal distance and Michael Rodd will ride him in the BCD Sprint.” - NZME

Breeders’ Stakes likely Dual stakes winner Miss Federer was set to head to the spelling paddock after Saturday’s Gr.3 Woburn Farm 2YO Classic, but her brave victory in the race altered those plans. It was a great result for trainer Andrew Carston, who entered his filly in the race as an alternative to the Karaka 2YO last month after she tailed the field home in her previous start at Ellerslie. “I felt like she deserved her chance to have a crack at a race like the Karaka Million. We went up there and the first run around Ellerslie was a complete disaster,” Carston said.

In brief Big Bucks for Brodie All Blacks star Brodie Retallick has been offered a £1m deal by English Premiership rugby side the Sale Sharks, according to a report by The Rugby Paper. Retallick, 27, will be out of his contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union after the Rugby World Cup later this year and is believed to be in “advanced talks” with the Sharks. If Retallick were to accept the offer, he will become one of the highest paid players in the world.

Mickey Mouse coach All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has described Michael Cheika as a “Mickey Mouse” Wallabies coach and delivered a damning verdict on his emotional frailties. Hansen was speaking at a fundraising event in Wellington at which he may not have been aware his comments would be reported, however, media picked up on the description of the Australian mentor.

Bucks go four straight Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the cold-shooting Brooklyn Nets 113-94 yesterday.

The injury-depleted Nets missed 19 of their first 20 3-point attempts, making it another easy night for the team with the NBA’s best record.

Brooklyn finished 5 for 42 (11.9 per cent) behind the arc.

Malcolm Brogdon added 16 points and Eric Bledsoe had 15 for the Bucks, who won their fourth straight, all by double digits.

D’Angelo Russell scored 18 points for the Nets, who have been forced to go deep down their roster because of injuries and lost their third in a row.

Brooklyn shot 32 per cent overall while playing without Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Jared Dudley and Allen Crabbe, all either starters or key reserves.

his first eight overall before finishing 2 for 11.

Despite all that, the Nets trailed by only nine at halftime.

It was nearly 11, but Antetokounmpo’s basket was ruled too late after he picked up an inbound pass with three seconds left near one foul line and got all the way to the other basket to attempt a layup.

But the Bucks broke out for 36 points in the third quarter, extending their lead to 87-64.

Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said LeVert (dislocated right foot) and Crabbe (sore right knee) would practice with the Nets’ G League affiliate today.

“Listen, it doesn’t have to be 40 minutes, right?” Atkinson said.

“I think that would be kind of the best scenario, just kind of integrating those guys slowly into the lineup.

“That’s going to be a big boost for us. I think right now, like I said, it’s good timing.”

Former President Bill Clinton and Brooks Koepka, last year’s US Open and PGA Championship winner, were in the crowd. - AP

■ CRICKET

Like a kid at Christmas

By Niall aNdersoN It has been an incredible few months for Daryl Mitchell.

Off the field, the Northern Districts all-rounder welcomed his first child, – a daughter – in December.

On the field, he impressed for New Zealand A, and after some excellent domestic performances with ND, is now set for an international debut with the Black Caps.

Mitchell is part of the Black Caps’ Twenty20 squad for their three-match series against India, starting tonight, and considering his hectic time of late, you’d forgive him for being a tad overwhelmed.

“It’s something you dream of as a little kid, and to pull [the New Zealand kit] on this morning, I was like a kid at Christmas,” said Mitchell.

“I’m excited, it’s going to be cool to get out there and take them on.

“I think it’s a blessing in disguise that I’ve played a few years in domestic cricket to work out my own game, and hopefully it will pay off in the next few days.”

Mitchell, 27, has developed steadily over 210 domestic games with ND. One of the nation’s cleanest strikers of the ball, and possibly the purest hitter down the ground, Mitchell has been a handy contributor as a death bowler, something he’s open to doing at the international level.

“I’m happy to do a job with the ball, if [captain] Kane [Williamson] needs, but batting’s probably my main priority as a batting all-rounder.”

Mitchell is the son of former All Blacks coach John Mitchell, and credits his upbringing as part of what has helped him become a top-level athlete.

“He’d go to work, like every other dad does, it just happened to be that he went to rugby training, instead of an office.

“It was cool growing up, I got to go watch the All Blacks and Chiefs train, and be around professional sport, which has probably helped me create who I am, and how I go about things today.”

The first of three Twenty20s takes place at Westpac Stadium tonight, and Mitchell isn’t going to change the approach which has been so successful domestically.

“I’m looking forward to taking a few risks, and hopefully it comes off.”

In brief Paine lays down law Australia’s test players will keep a red ball and a white ball with them no matter what form of the game they’re playing or where they are over the next six months. Captain Tim Paine has laid down the law to his team, declaring a plethora of limited-overs cricket is no excuse for being out of red-ball form.

Australia’s 366-run smashing of Sri Lanka in Canberra was their last test before The Ashes in August.

There is a Twenty20 series in India, starting on February 25, which will be followed by five ODIs. - AAP

Smith, Warner free One of the toughest chapters in Australia’s test history is over with Steve Smith and David Warner free to return to the field when the national team next play red-ball cricket in England. Smith and Warner’s bans from the balltampering scandal don’t expire until the end of March, but Australia next play a test from August 1 in England, with captain Tim Paine declaring this week both should be picked. In total, Australia played nine tests without their two batting figureheads, winning three, drawing two and losing four.

West Indies captain Jason Holder has been suspended by the ICC for the final Test against England due to his side’s slow over-rate.

Holder has led the side brilliantly in the last two matches to secure the Wisden Trophy, but will not be around to finish the job in St Lucia next week. Press Association Sport understands the ICC has imposed the suspension after the Windies failed to keep up with the required rate during their 10-wicket win in Antigua.

There’s at least one five-letter word. lit, lop, 8oil, opt, Previous solution: Good 6 Very Good 7lip, Excellent pilot, pit, plot,pot, tip, toil, top, topi

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Scientific studies suggest many humans rate their skills and traits much better than they actually are. Then there’s you, totally underplaying it all. Speak up! Too much modesty means everyone could lose out.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The power struggle is between two parts of you, one parental and one childlike. Both parts want what’s good for you and what will make you happy, though each has a different definition of those concepts.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re feeling rather uncharacteristically quiet, perhaps because you’re still learning, observing and cataloguing what you see, at least mentally. You’re just not ready to put this education into words yet.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You do certain things because you want to make sure that your efforts don’t go to waste. But in a way, once it’s out of your hands, it’s no longer your business. Let go for now completely. Check back later.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your parents gave you life, but they didn’t give you their lives. In matters emotional, professional, spiritual and practical, do it your way regardless, it might please your parents or any authority figure.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): “You’re a lot,” said the member of Generation Z to her overly dramatic friend – a mild yet crushing insult. You’ve been on both sides of this sort of dialogue. It’s why you’re so careful and compassionate today.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): A person’s record may be clean, but the real standard is a matter of personal integrity that has to be reconciled between the individual and the higher self.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): How do you know you’re being too hard on yourself? If the way you push yourself or talk to yourself doesn’t advance your purposes, and is more of a hurdle than a help, you’re being too hard on yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Favoured activities include next level cleaning and organisation, the sort that handles the closets, files, drawers and little-seen areas – maybe even the secret chambers of the heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Creative pursuits will show early signs of success, perhaps in the interested eyes of others, the smiles, the excellent questions you get about your process and goals. This is exciting!

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re never too busy to be charitable when the call comes, though often there is no call. To do good in the world, you have to be proactive. Notice who needs help, instead of waiting to be asked.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The way a person feels about himself, the way she sees her position or exerts her power, these are the sorts of things you can read rather easily today, and there’s a way to use this for mutual benefit.

RIGHT ON TARGET

Members of the Ashburton Rowing Club were in the medals at the South Island Club Rowing Championships at the weekend.

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Coming home from the South Island Club Rowing Championships at the weekend with a handful of medals was a successful result in the eyes of Ashburton Rowing Club coach Justin Wall.

Two weeks out from the national rowing championships and with the national secondary school championships – the Maadi Cup – hot on the heels of that, Wall said he was happy with where his young charges were at, although as a coach you were always asking for more.

He said the next few weeks

were crunch time for rowers, and everything was going to plan in the Ashburton camp.

“Everyone is where I’d expect them to be,” Wall said.

Ashburton crews made 12 A finals and two B finals at the South Island championships at Lake Ruataniwha at the weekend, with the women’s under-19 quad of Emma Stagg, Mollie Gibson, Aidan Elvines, Grace Adams and Harriet Leverton winning gold, and Gibson and Grace Wilson combining to win gold in the women’s senior pair event.

Both Gibson and Wilson also competed in the women’s senior

single event, with Gibson finishing fourth and Wilson sixth.

Wilson also combined with Stagg in the women’s senior double event and finished third, and Haxby Hefford picked up two second placings, in the men’s senior single and the men’s club single.

Elvines was sixth in the women’s club single and she also combined with Adams in the women’s club double, where the duo finished eighth.

In the men’s intermediate single Ged Wall was fifth, while he and Paddy Dekker were fourth in the men’s intermediate double.

Ashburton’s most successful

rower in recent seasons, Veronica Wall, was also at the regatta and while she was wearing her Ashburton Rowing Club colours, she wasn’t rowing for the club where it all started for her.

With her school days behind her she was now rowing out of the Southern RPC (Rowing Performance Centre).

She was again in top form, taking out the premier single, double and quad, with that win in the single scull earning what was known as the New Zealand Selectors Trial.

That was something that all high performance and elite ath-

letes vied for as they worked towards selection for under-23 and elite New Zealand crews.

Unlike the Canterbury championships a fortnight before, where bad weather brought racing to a premature end, the weather couldn’t have been better for the South Island event, and it was hoped it would be a similar story for the next big regatta at the Twizel lake.

The national rowing championships were being held at Lake Ruataniwha next weekend and the Maadi Cup would follow at Cambridge’s Lake Karapiro from March 25.
