Hotel plan boost for sports centre

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Farewell to a legend P11

A new hotel block in Ashburton’s central business district will help attract more regional and national events to the EA Networks Centre.

Centre manager Steve Prescott said the lack of accommodation in Ashburton town was a negative for tournament and event organisers if it meant athletes had to stay in Timaru, Methven or Rakaia. But a proposed 70-80 bed hotel in the new Eastfield precinct could now be a selling point.

There is no immediate timeframe for the project, which is part of a $40 million redevelopment of land bounded by Burnett, Cass and Tancred streets, and developers are undertaking financial mod-

elling before approaching investors and service providers. The hotel complex would include rooms and dining facilities and back onto a common internal sheltered courtyard space.

Mr Prescott said the hotel couldn’t be built fast enough.

“This is fantastic news and not just for EA. It means when we pitch for tournaments it gives us the opportunity to say there is another accommodation block in town and that means they don’t have to then book as far away as Timaru and Rakaia.”

Sports teams and athletes had special requirements and did not want performance affected by having to allow up to an hour for travel, he said.

The sports centre has hosted swim meets with 450 swimmers and support-

ing parents, and basketball and netball tournaments over several days since it opened a year ago, with some athletes having to stay in Methven and Rakaia when beds in Ashburton were snapped up.

Mr Prescott said some athletes had not come to events in Ashburton because accommodation was too hard to find.

“They spend too much time travelling and it becomes quite a burden. It has an impact on performance.”

The sports centre will host a four-day secondary schools’ basketball tournament later this year, with 22 senior boys’ teams expected from all over the South Island.

On the long-term radar could be the 2018 indoor bowls New Zealand championships.

■ EDUCATION

Ashburton-based teacher censured An Ashburton-based teacher who was recently censured by the Education Council following a criminal conviction is not currently teaching in Mid Canterbury.

The Education Council’s Disciplinary Tribunal released its decision at the end of last month of a hearing in March into the suitability of Bruce Blackburn to hold a teaching registration and practising certificate despite being sentenced to jail time last year.

Mr Blackburn was released from jail after four months in November for repeatedly contravening a protection order.

The offending occurred against the same victim but did not take place in a professional context.

The Disciplinary Tribunal has allowed Mr Blackburn to continue to teach but he has been censured, an annotation will appear on the teachers’ register referring to this decision and he will have to

complete an anger management course.

During the hearing Mr Blackburn described himself as “…a bloody good role model for children”.

However, Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Hilary Boyce said teachers needed to show exemplary behaviour all the time, not just at school.

“All teachers should consider themselves good role models and

they should be able to demonstrate this at home, at school and in the community,” Mrs Boyce said.

Mr Blackburn is not currently employed in a teaching position in Ashburton and while some might wonder why the Education Council has allowed him to continue to teach they can only provide information about the suitability of teachers to schools, she said.

“At the end of the day schools

choose the right person for the job.”

The Education Council’s Complaints Assessment Committee investigated and brought the case to the Disciplinary Tribunal because they believed Mr Blackburn’s behaviour amounted to serious misconduct.

Mr Blackburn holds a subject to confirmation practising certificate.

■ MID CANTERBURY VINTAGE MACHINERY CLUB

Ploughing skills put to the test in Mid Canterbury

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

With furrowed brows, some of the country’s most talented ploughmen turned the sods at Wakanui yesterday, along with the sole woman competitor, Tryphena Carter.

Run by the Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club, yesterday’s competition at Matthew and Julie Paton’s property, followed on from the Hinds Young Farmers event on Saturday.

Some of the contestants have travelled long distances to take part, including Ms Carter who hails from Riversdale, Southland and is one of only two women in the country ploughing at the top level.

Originally from Rakaia, she has already represented New Zealand at ploughing competitions across the ditch.

Timaru truck driver Bob Mehrtens and conventional ploughman Ian Woolley, from Blenheim, will also use the four Mid Canterbury matches as practice runs ahead of upcoming world championships.

Mr Woolley has been selected to take on the best in the world in Yorkshire in September, but he’s no stranger to the competition, having come up against many of his rivals in Denmark last year and

Ashburton ploughman Trevor Begg concentrates on turning a straight furrow at yesterday’s competition.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 050616-TM-0075 is off to Kenya next year.

Eight-time national champion Mr Mehrtens was the sole competitor in the reversible class at yesterday’s match and is also eyeing up the competition for next

year’s world championship in Kenya in what will be his ninth international match.

Members of the vintage machinery club were also out in force at the weekend, along with Ka-

kanui team John Chynoweth and Sharon Chambers in the horsedrawn class, demonstrating advances in technology over the history of the sport.

The matches offered a chance

to get vintage machinery out of the shed and have some fun, organiser John Hall said.

But while the vintage machinery may have been around for many decades, modern competition ploughs are largely produced in Norway and have plastic shears.

Competitors in the vintage class have three hours to plough a 60m by 20m plot, while the Silver Plough conventional and reversible class plots are 100m by 20m.

In the parlance of competitive ploughing, competitors have 20 minutes to open the split, which is judged while they take a lunch break.

Judges are looking for straight uniform furrows with good weed cover, Mr Hall said.

While ploughing is no longer routinely used in farming systems, prior to the advent of chemical weed control, a skilled operator was an invaluable asset to a farming business.

“The weeds were buried and the paddocks were left to fellow over the winter, breaking down in the frost,” Mr Hall said.

Competitions such as those held at the weekend and those planned for Methven on Saturday and Rakaia on Sunday, offer a rare opportunity to see such skill in action.

■ CANTERBURY DUCK CALLING COMPETITION

Charges earn three years in jail

By Kurt Bayer A man convicted of manslaughter over the death of a low-level North Canterbury drug dealer during a robbery gone wrong has been sentenced to almost three years in jail.

Shaun Murray Robert Innes, 39, was found guilty by a High Court jury in Christchurch of murdering 51-year-old Rangiora man Tony John Lochhead on September 13, 2014.

His co-accused, Jason William Baker, 40, was also found guilty and jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years for his role in using a hunting knife to fatally stab Mr Lochhead and wound his brother, Peter Graham Lochhead, 54.

Innes was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch to 10 years in jail, with no non-parole period, given that his role on the fateful night, was to simply knock on the Lochhead’s door and lure them outside, before he ran away.

But he appealed the conviction and instead pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter.

At sentencing on Friday, Justice Cameron Mander said Innes’ culpability was significantly less than Baker’s as he only lured the brothers out of the house and didn’t witness the assault.

Tracey Ross, the wife of Tony’s late brother, Jim, told the court about the emotional toll Tony’s death has had on the family, especially his brother, Peter, who was wounded that night.

Jonathan Eaton, QC, earlier said it was an “unusual case, factually”

George Butterick is in quacking form for nationals.

Shaun Murray Robert Innes and noted that Innes had already served “quite a significant term” in jail.

The 2014 trial heard that the pair had arrived at the Lochhead’s White Street flat in Rangiora with the plan of robbing them of drugs, guns and cash.

But while Baker, from Christchurch, attacked them, Innes ran off.

And the brothers fought back in self-defence.

Baker cut Tony on his chest, arms, face, neck, ear and lower arm with a hunting knife.

“He got me, he got me f****** good”, he said, before collapsing to the floor, with blood coming out of his throat. Peter received non-fatal cut injuries.

Innes and Baker were arrested in the following days.

On Friday, Innes was sentenced to two years and 10 months imprisonment.

Justice Mander did not find it necessary to impose a minimum period of imprisonment.

There’s a lot more to duck calling than just squawking, according to this year’s winner of the Canterbury duck calling competition.

And moreover, the unusual sport will take the country’s best duck callers abroad later in the year, including Mayfield man George Butterick, who cleaned up the competition at the Springston Hotel recently.

After a long day of shooting out on Lake Ellesmere, 11 of Canterbury’s best duck callers entertained about 100 spectators as they competed in the Canterbury round of the 2016 NZ Duck Calling Championships.

During the Kiwi competition, competitors have just one minute of calling to impress the judges with their impression of realistic live duck calls.

The round was the fifth in a series of six competitions around the country, and the top three competitors won spots at the nationals to be held in Tauranga on July 9. Fellow Cantabrians John Hunter and Mark Rothera will accompany Butterick to contest the national title.

It is the first time the nationals are being held outside the South

Island and a large flock of about 30 callers will quack it out.

The winner will receive a trip to America to compete in the World Duck-Calling Championship, which is held during the Maryland Water Fowl Festival in November.

Butterick is no stranger to what could be considered a somewhat eccentric sporting pursuit. He took out the Canterbury competition at the Fox and Ferret in Riccarton a couple of years ago, and he’s been hunting as long as he can remember.

“I was about four or five years old, sitting on dad’s shoulders walking down the river shooting ducks,” he said.

So what makes a champion duck caller?

“Lots of practice, you need to learn to read the ducks – you soon work out what call you need in certain situations,” he said.

“It takes a few years to really get the gist of it.”

The sport not only requires participants to be familiar with the vocabulary of different types of ducks, the environment also plays a part.

“A lot depends on what they’ve been eating; if they’ve been eating a lot of grain they sound more croaky, if they’ve got a crop full of

acorns they’ll be squawkier.”

The judges look for a caller who can imitate the sound of a mob of ducks, rather than an individual bird, Butterick said.

“When you’ve got 50 or 60 decoys out you want to sound like as many ducks as you can.”

As for the national competition, Butterick is keeping a calm head.

“I don’t go up there with too much expectation, there’s some really good duck callers involved – it will be tough competition.”

Last year 17-year-old Hunter Morrow, a building apprentice from Luggate, quacked his way to the United States where he took out fifth place in the World Duck-Calling Championship, and fourth place in the Goose Calling Championship.

“Water fowling in New Zealand is more popular than rugby. In America, duck-calling is hugely popular and some people even make their living from the sport,” organiser Adam Rayner said.

One youngster who is already showing her mastery in the art of duck calling is Nelson 12-yearold-Holly Irvine, who has already snared her spot at the Junior World Duck-Calling Championship to be held in Maryland at the same time.

■ TRUSTPOWER COMMUNITY AWARDS

In brief

Cash and prizes up for grabs Mid Canterbury’s finest will be celebrated when the Trustpower Ashburton District Community Awards are handed out tomorrow night.

As well as category winners, the Supreme Winner of the 2016 Trustpower Ashburton District Community Awards will be announced, with that organisation set to take home $1500, a trophy and an all-expenses paid trip to

the Trustpower National Community Awards, being held in Rotorua in March 2017.

The awards cover five categories: Heritage and Environment, Health and Wellbeing, Arts and Culture, Sport and Leisure, and Education and Child/Youth Development.

Historically, Ashburton has been very strong with Health and Wellbeing entries, but slow to get

nominations up in Heritage and Environment and Arts and Culture.

Anyone in the district can nominate volunteers to be considered for the awards, which are run annually by Trustpower in partnership with the Ashburton District Council.

In 2015, 29 nominations were received and the eventual supreme winner was the Ashbur-

ton Combined Rural Fire Force Units.

Since 2001, the Ashburton District Council and Trustpower have worked together to donate more than $66,000 to volunteer groups and this year more than $5000 in cash prizes is up for grabs again.

The Awards are being held at the Hotel Ashburton, starting at 5.30pm.

■ REVIEW

Festival ‘an afternoon of uplifting singing’ Reviewed by william GReen Anyone who is aware of the successes of our very own National Youth Choir (which include at least two ‘Choir of the World’ titles) will know that choral music is alive and well in Aotearoa.

Further proof of this was demonstrated at Queen’s Birthday weekend’s Festival of New Zealand Male Choirs, held at the Ashburton Trust Events Centre, which featured the NZ Male Choir.

The festival was hosted by the Ashburton MSA Men’s Choir who also scored a coup in enticing British choral composer and conductor Alan Simmons over from Europe to lead workshops and conduct massed items.

As indicated in the smartly designed programme (which included a welcome from the mayor, and a chummy message from patron Simon O’Neill) NZ Male Choir led proceedings, processing in with a fittingly moving Pokarekare Ana. The MSA Mens Choir, under Angie Cresswell, opened the programme proper in fine style with three songs, which included a spirited Li’l Liza Jane.

They were followed by the touring Nelson Male Choir (director Andrea Hamilton) who also gave us three excellent items.

It was nice to hear their blend in the unaccompanied Make You Feel My Love.

Confirmed remains The human leg bones and foot in a boot found on a beach near Timaru nearly two weeks ago have been confirmed as belonging to a missing man. Timaru man Darryl McNee, 44, went missing at the beginning of May, and his station wagon was found at the end of Connolly Rd in Seadown.

His disappearance had come as a surprise to family and friends and a search of the area, including the beach, turned up nothing. However the police have now confirmed the remains that washed up weeks later on a beach near Washdyke were his.

Burglary at resthome A burglar posed as a doctor to break into a retirement village and steal cash from an elderly resident. The woman let the man into her room at Dannemora Gardens Retirement Village on Saturday because he told her he was a doctor. Police were notified of the break-in at 1.55pm. The man appeared to be in his 30s and wearing a green jacket and green backpack, a police spokeswoman said. “He didn’t hurt or touch her.

He just said he was a doctor and made off with some money.”

Police are still investigating.

‘Swimmable Rivers’

The Nelson Men’s Choir performs Male Choir Festival at Ashburton Trust Event Centre yesterday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 050616-TM- 0136 Voices young – and female – were next with Ashburton College’s Phoenix Rising, also under Angie Cresswell.

Their two well-contrasted items began with a sustained Ave Maria by Caccini.

The New Zealand Male Choir, conducted by Joseph Christensen, rounded off the first half nicely.

I appreciated hearing specially commissioned music by Christchurch’s Philip Norman in a committed performance.

There’s nothing quite like

massed singing to engender unity and a sense of purpose and all four directors led the combined choirs in the second half with precision and gusto, guest Alan Simmons proving that his own compositions were both fun (Short Leg, Long Leg and Silly Mid-off) and easy on the ear.

Other memorable items for me were Verdi’s Va Pensiero, the appropriately programmed Let All Men Sing, and the final He Honore (arranged by Ashburtonian Jared Corbett).

Soloists Anthony Joines and

John Masters provided superb tenor and richly resonant bass.

All in all, it was an afternoon of uplifting singing, and Angie and Ron Cresswell were duly thanked for all their efforts.

It certainly was, as chipper host Kevin Soster described it, “a Titanic Tide of Testosterone”.

Finally (and all on the estrogen team) a plug for the accompanists.

Bravo Shelley Spang, Olivia Pike, Susan Stokes and Pauline Boyd – the show doesn’t go on without you!

The Green Party is returning to a familiar theme for its 2017 election campaign – cleaning up New Zealand’s rivers and streams, partly by putting an immediate end to new dairy farm conversions.

Greens co-leader Metiria Turei launched the environmental campaign “Swimmable Rivers” yesterday at the party’s annual meeting in Lincoln, Christchurch.

The party already has a policy of making all rivers in New Zealand clean enough to swim in, though it has not set a timeline or estimated the cost of such a measure. - NZME

■ METHVEN LIGHTS FESTIVAL

Celebrating winter Methven-style

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven lit up last night with the official opening of the alpine village’s winter lights festival.

The Methven Lighting Up Ceremony 2016 kicked off at 5pm complete with a lantern parade, night market and fire-eaters, and the decorative lights festooning the town turned on at 6.30pm.

The lantern parade began on Kilworth Street with children carrying their handmade lanterns to the village square.

Organised by Methven Action Committee, this year another 300 metres of rope lights were ordered from China and added to the main street display.

The lights run along Forest Drive from the Brown Pub to the Green Parrot, and then along McMillan Street to Four Square and before crossing the road from Primo Café to Arabica Café.

The historic Anglican Church building across the road was also lit up with 150 metres of green lights donated by The Dubliner. Big Al’s and Crossroads bar and restaurant were also lit up for the occasion.

Methven local Frank Sandy also got into the spirit, hanging his now famous Christmas lighting display at his house on Hobbs Road for a week from June 24 in celebration of mid-winter.

Instigated last year to create extra ambience and add to the ski village night-time appeal, the lights festival coincided with the arrival of 250 workers who arrived in town last week to prepare for the planned opening of the Mt Hutt Ski Area on Friday.

Festival organiser Richard Sheppard said the event had grown since its inception last year, with many more business getting on board.

Abra Heinrich helped Methven sparkle under the stars last night.

Parking petition progressing Ashburton retailers are planning the next move in their campaign for an hour’s free car parking on East Street.

A group of shopkeepers in the central business district will meet on Wednesday to discuss progress of a petition calling for parking changes, and how they could lobby the Ashburton District Council to review its recent decision on parking.

Retailers had asked for an hour’s free parking to try and encourage more people back into the CBD. They say shoppers are being turned off by troublesome pay and display meters that frequently don’t work.

Arcade retailer Bob McDonald said the petition was generating a lot of support and signatures.

He said retailers had begun contributing to a fund to fight the parking charges and would be thinking of innovative solutions.

“We are not going away on this one.”

The council plans to roll out pay and display machines throughout the CBD over time.

In brief ‘Respect our laws’ Speaking to TVNZ’s Q+A yesterday, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters said migration should be limited to a maximum of 15,000 people a year and he called for every migrant to be interviewed at the border to check that they respected New Zealand’s “views”. The policy was not based on race, he said. “They could come from anywhere in the world, as they have, and some have been brilliant people who have come into this country as both refugees and immigrants,” Mr Peters said. “But here’s what we want. We want them to salute our flag, respect our laws, honour our institutions and, above all, don’t bring absolutely anti-women attitudes with them, treating women like cattle, like fourth-class citizens.”

Road toll at six Six people have died on the roads this Queen’s Birthday weekend, putting the official road toll above last year’s count for all three days.

Shortly after 3pm yesterday, a person died after a single-vehicle crash on Dun Rd, east of Taupo. Earlier yesterday, a man was killed and four people including a mother and her baby were injured in a two-vehicle smash in Northern Wairarapa, near Mt Bruce, just before noon.

And in Mangere East about 9.15am, two people had to be cut from a car after it crashed into a tree on Ferguson St. A 16-year-old is in a critical condition and a 9-year-old and another person are seriously injured. Four people were in the car. On Saturday night a person was killed in a three-vehicle crash on State Highway

1 at Greta Valley, between Christchurch and Kaikoura. Four others were hurt in the 6pm crash, which involved a truck and two other vehicles.

About two hours earlier a motorcyclist died after colliding at speed with a parked vehicle on Castlebane Drive in the Auckland suburb of Flat Bush.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 64-year-old Kaikoura man was the first to die on our roads this holiday weekend. He was killed and several others were badly injured in the four-car crash on State Highway 1 north of Dunedin just before 6pm on Friday.

The second death occurred early on Saturday when two cars collided on State Highway 3 near Te Kuiti.

Tributes flood in for Ali

Muhammad Ali, the former world heavyweight champion whose boxing feats, showmanship and political activism made him one of the best-known figures of the 20th century, died on Saturday aged 74.

Ali, who had long suffered from Parkinson’s syndrome which impaired his speech and made the once-graceful athlete almost a prisoner in his own body, died a day after he was admitted to a Phoenix-area hospital with a respiratory ailment.

His youthful proclamation of himself as “the greatest” rang true for millions of people worldwide, who admired him for his courage both inside and outside the ring.

Along with a fearsome reputation as a fighter, he spoke out against racism, war and religious intolerance, while projecting an unshakeable confidence and humour that became a model for African-Americans at the height of the civil rights era.

Stripped of his world boxing crown for refusing to join the US army and fight in Vietnam, Ali returned in triumph by recapturing the title and starring in some of the sport’s most unforgettable duels.

“Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest human beings I have ever met,” said George Foreman, who lost to Ali in Zaire in a classic 1974 bout known as the “Rumble in the Jungle”.

“No doubt he was one of the best people to have lived in this day and age. To put him as a boxer is an injustice.”

US President Barack Obama said Ali was “a man who fought for us” and he placed him in the pantheon of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Junior and Nelson Mandela.

Few could argue with his athletic prowess at his peak in the 1960s. With his dancing feet and quick fists, he could - as he put it - float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

He was the first person to win the heavyweight championship three times.

During and after his championship

‘A tragedy beyond words’

Boxing gloves and a message sit among flowers at a makeshift memorial to Muhammad Ali at the Muhammad Ali Centre in Louisville, Kentucky. PHOTO AP reign, Ali met scores of world leaders and for a time was considered the most recognisable person on Earth.

Ali’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s came about three years after he retired from boxing in 1981.

But he carried on making public appearances including at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, stilling the tremors in his hands enough to light the Olympic flame. He also took part in the opening of the London games in 2012, looking frail in a wheelchair.

“We lost a giant today. Boxing benefited from Muhammad Ali’s talents but not nearly as much as mankind benefited from his humanity,” said Manny Pacquiao, a boxer and politician in the Philippines, where Ali fought arch rival Joe Frazier for a third time in a brutal 1975 match dubbed the “Thrilla in Manila”.

Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on January 17, 1942, as Cassius Marcellus Clay

Junior, a name shared with a 19th century slavery abolitionist. He changed his name after his conversion to Islam.

He became known as the Louisville Lip and loved to talk - especially about himself. “Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far,” he once said.

Once asked about his preferred legacy, Ali said: “I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times, who was humorous and who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him ... who stood up for his beliefs ... who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love.

“And if all that’s too much, then I guess I’d settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people. And I wouldn’t even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.”

Ali is survived by his wife Lonnie and his nine children.

Louisiana and Mississippi on flood watch

Torrential rains in Texas which caused flooding that killed 16 people this week has spread to southern Louisiana, leaving parts of that state and Mississippi under a flash flood watch, according to the National Weather Service.

Heavy rains could strike the Florida panhandle early next week, but not as intensely as in Texas, Daniel Petersen, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Centre in Maryland, said yesterday.

Small streams in southern Louisiana have overflowed their banks, causing localised flooding, he added.

At least 16 people have died in Texas in the past week as some rivers swelled to levels not seen in more than 100 years, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes in low-lying areas.

Texas Governor Greg Ab-

bott has declared a state of disaster in more than 30 counties, the Texas Department of Public Safety said yesterday.

In Bastrop County, southwest of the state capital of Austin, flooding damaged nearly 300 homes, it added.

Heavy rainfall was forecast to continue on Saturday along the Texas coast and potentially trigger more flooding there, state and federal officials said. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice began evacuating on Friday about 1700 inmates at its Ramsey Unit in Rosharon, due to flooding along the Brazos.

Flooding struck Richmond, upriver from Rosharon, last week when the Brazos overflowed its banks and according to state officials damaged nearly 80 homes.

The man who found Prince’s body has spoken about the harrowing discovery, saying it was “a tragedy beyond words”.

Andrew Kornfeld, the son of addiction specialist Dr Howard Kornfeld, flew to Minnesota to help the superstar before his father’s arrival, after the Californiabased professional was recruited to help Prince overcome his struggle with painkiller addiction. However, the singer never made it to his meeting with the doctor, after he was found unconscious in an elevator at his Paisley Park home on April 21. Andrew Kornfeld was the person who called emergency services after discovering Prince’s lifeless body, and a day after a representative for the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the artist suffered an accidental overdose of the opioid Fentanyl.

Vegas digs up for sale The Las Vegas mansion where pop icon Michael Jackson reportedly lived is up for sale for $US9.5 million ($NZ13.65 million).

The 6680sq m compound with seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms is northwest of the Las Vegas Strip. Sotheby’s International Realty agent Kristen Routh Silberman said Jackson and his three children lived at the property dubbed “Thriller Villa”. The listing notes Jackson’s favourite room as the salon with a stone fireplace and that the main master room still retains the original mirrors Jackson used to practice his choreography. It’s also said Jackson accessed his vehicle through the 790sq m basement to avoid the paparazzi. Sotherby’s said the family rented it from 2007 until the singer’s 2009 death.

Heard sues comedian Lawyers for actress Amber Heard have filed a defamation lawsuit against comedian Doug Stanhope after he wrote an article accusing her of blackmailing and manipulating her estranged husband, actor Johnny Depp. The complaint was filed in Cochise County, Arizona, against Stanhope and 20 unnamed individuals associated with the comedian. The lawsuit demands a jury trial and says Heard would donate all proceeds to a battered women’s shelter in Arizona.

Representatives for Stanhope and Depp did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The complaint is in response to a May 29 guest column by Stanhope published on entertainment trade outlet TheWrap.com and headlined “Johnny Depp Is Being Blackmailed by Amber Heard - Here’s How I Know.”

OUR VIEW

‘The greatest’ has gone

James Ford

H

aving been born in the late 80s, I was too young to have seen him at his majestic and flamboyant best, both in the ring and out of it, but time simply doesn’t matter when discussing Muhammad Ali. We often talk of sports people being the finest of their generation, but Ali not only transcended boxing, but generations too.

His flare in the ring, and unequivocal stance on what he believed to be right, continues to inspire.

As a 22-year-old, then known as Cassius Clay, he burst on to the scene and announced that he would dispatch the formidable Sonny Liston, to the amusement of the media.

He did beat Liston, twice.

He then went on to fight Joe Frazier three times, the last of which – the Thrilla in Manila – continually ranks among boxing’s greatest ever bouts.

Ali may have won after Frazier’s wise trainer, Eddie Futch, pulled his man out before the 15th round battered and near blind, but, in truth, Ali was left irreparably damaged too.

A year earlier he had defied the odds against a younger, stronger George Foreman in Zaire with an eighth round knockout to become heavyweight champion of the world again.

These two fights will be the most memorable of a glittering career.

But, for all he achieved in the ring, Ali’s greatest victory came in his refusal to fight.

Upon scheduled induction into the US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, Ali refused three times to step forward at the call of his name, despite being informed that he was committing a felony punishable by five years in prison and a hefty fine.

Though he stayed out of prison, he was stripped of his title and boxing licence for three years.

“My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America,” he said.

At this point he began writing his legend not only in the ring, but as an icon and activist of turbulent and uncertain times.

So, although ‘The Greatest’ has gone, his message was clear.

We should not to be shackled by our own lack of self-belief, or be deterred by what others deem impossible, but rather, dare to dream.

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” – Muhammad Ali.

New spending thanks to careful management L

ast week’s Budget has shown that the careful financial stewardship of the Nationalled Government and the skill of Finance Minister Hon Bill English have turned a string of deficits into a small surplus.

The $18.4 billion deficit of 2011 has been turned into a $700 million surplus this year.

However, a tight rein on spending will need to be maintained despite everyone wanting a share of the surplus.

In the case of the bowel screening programme announced last week, I know that the people of Canterbury and South Canterbury DHB areas will be disappointed they are not included in the DHBs where the programme will be rolled out first.

I also know running the programme without all resources in place risks the integrity of the screening programme.

I have talked with my colleague the Minister of Health, Hon Jonathan Coleman, and made him aware how keen the people

of Canterbury are to have access to this screening.

I had thought it was unlikely we would ever clear New Zealand of bovine tuberculosis (Tb) in cattle and deer but it now looks to be a distinct possibility with the addition of some extra funding.

Budget 2016 confirmed $69.8 million of new operating funding over the next four years which will help achieve our goals of eradicating bovine Tb by 2026, and from Tb-infected wildlife in New Zealand by 2055.

The amended Tb Plan is a fundamental shift in approach – from containing the disease to active eradication in livestock

and wildlife. Since 2002, the number of infected cattle herds has reduced by 90 per cent, and infected deer herds are down by 95 per cent.

Tb has been cleared from wild animals in more than 1.2 million hectares of forest since 2011.

I have been actively lobbying the Associate Minister of Education on behalf of schools whose roll growth has resulted in them using non-teaching spaces as classrooms.

So I was delighted that Methven Primary School had a further two classroom builds confirmed in the Budget.

Carew Peel Forest School also had an extra classroom build confirmed. Both schools have been experiencing high roll growth. The new builds are on top of a number of classroom builds already under way in the Mid Canterbury area.

Tackling the growing number of wilding conifers in New Zealand is another area where I have had people lobbying me for

support, so I was pleased to see Budget 2016 has provided $16 million of new operating funding over four years to tackle wilding conifers.

These invasive trees are a major threat to our ecosystems, land and farms. They spread fast and are very hard to eradicate once established.

Wilding conifers compete with native flora and fauna for sunlight and water, and can severely alter natural landscapes.

This new funding will help protect productive land, the tourism and forestry sectors, and sensitive water catchments from the impacts of this tree pest.

It will also support greater collaboration between the Crown, regional councils, community groups, land owners, and foresters.

What had been frightening me was that we have been losing the battle to control wilding conifers, so this funding boost to try and stop this growth in its tracks is very welcome.

Hippy heartland beckons 50 years on

Alamo Square has its classic Painted Ladies – a row of exquisite Victorian houses.

A

s the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love approaches next year its epicentre in San Francisco is these days less counter-culture and more just countering rising property prices.

Haight Ashbury became a flower-child mecca in 1967. Most accounts say the “summer” actually began on January 14 with the Human Be-In, billed as “a Renaissance of compassion, awareness and love” in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, which drew around 20,000 people.

The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane performed, and among the speakers were poet Allen Ginsberg and LSD guru Timothy Leary, who for the first time used the phrase he would make famous: “Turn on, tune in, drop out.”

The curtain came down on the Summer of Love in October 1967 with a mock Death of Hippie funeral in San Francisco, with the clear message that America’s flower children should plant themselves elsewhere.

Walking around sites from the Summer of Love in 2016 is a sobering reminder of how the hippy heyday has faded.

My first stop is a grand threestorey mansion at 2400 Fulton

James Lane headed to Haight Ashbury in San Francisco to visit the sites from the Summer of Love and got a reminder of just how the hippy heyday has faded.

Street where Jefferson Airplane once lived. Few bands embodied the hedonism of the late 1960s as the Airplane. The band advocated sex, psychedelic drugs, rebellion and a communal lifestyle and plenty of each operated out of this legendary party house. The address – 2400 Fulton Street – later became the title of a greatest hits collection the band released in the mid-1980s.

Further on is Ashbury Street which counted The Grateful Dead, the Hell’s Angels and Janis Joplin as former residents.

On a sunny winter’s day I walk past the infamous Hell’s Angels house (719 Ashbury Street) where its San Francisco chapter established a headquarters during the late 1960s. It’s hard to imagine that this pretty Queen Anne Victorian home was once a hub for the counter-culture movement.

I catch the Grateful Dead wafting out of a nearby cafe which helps lead me to the band’s former headquarters at 710 Ashbury Street. It was here that the Dead’s

Happy y a d h t r i B

unique style of rock, folk, blues and jazz came together as one of the city’s seminal bands began its long, strange trip. The house also gained notoriety for a highprofile drug bust in October 1967 resulting in several arrests and charges.

All of this homage to Haight Ashbury’s hippy scene puts me in the mood for a record store crawl. My quick trawl is via three stores – Amoeba Music, Rasputin Records and Recycled Records – each with a point of difference.

Amoeba, housed in a converted bowling alley, bills itself as “the world’s largest independent record store” and is truly staggering. It has racks of vinyl, CDs, books and other bits which seem to stretch on forever and makes me smile for the store’s enthusiasm for physical music despite its decline in the era of digital.

Rasputin Records is known as the Bay area’s biggest independent record store and features a vast selection of new and used indie, punk, metal, goth, elec-

IF YOU GO Playing there

tronic, hip-hop, world, soul and R&B music.

My personal favourite is Recycled Records, which has no grandiose claims, except that it’s something of a Haight Street landmark. First opened in 1977, the store is crammed with a mind-bending collection of second-hand vinyl.

Nothing is too obscure in this vinyl shrine. I even manage to stumble upon a selection of Australian indie singles from acts like Died Pretty, Toys Went Beserk, Box of Fish, The Church and the Hoodoo Gurus.

I finish my ramble through the Haight and walk further on to Alamo Square with its postcard views of San Francisco’s classic Victorian architecture. I sit on a bench taking in the Painted Ladies, a row of exquisite Victorian houses against the city backdrop, and think of Rudyard Kipling’s famous quote.

“San Francisco has only one drawback – ’tis hard to leave.”

How true.

Final dreams over for Rakaia

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

There will be no Mid Canterbury representative in this year’s Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition final after Rakaia narrowly lost out 26-23 in their semi-final against Southbridge on Saturday.

Southbridge had the better of possession in the first half but Rakaia absorbed the home side’s pressure well and headed to the sheds at halftime just three points adrift at 13-10, thanks to a fine try from centre Maliki San and the dependable kicking of first five Andrew Letham.

Rakaia returned with more self-belief in the second half and enjoyed the better of the action against the unbeaten Southbridge, as San touched down again for his and Rakaia’s second try of the afternoon.

With two minutes remaining, the Watters Cup holders led 2319, and, sensing their first loss of the season, Southbridge kicked their penalty in to the corner.

From the lineout, Southbridge relentlessly attacked a waning Rakaia defence and drove over the line before adding the extras to secure a 26-23 victory and a place in the final against Waihora, who snuck past Glenmark in the opposite semi-final.

clinical at home on Saturday.

A reshuffled back line with Des Kruger at first five and Nathan McCloy at halfback did plenty of damage letting their outsides loose after being 10-9 behind at half time.

In contrast, Celtic had a better day with a solid display against Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell for a 29-10 home win.

Celtic’s defence also stood firm against an imposing BDI forward pack, which included Mid Can-

think the All Blacks will put at least 15 or 20 points on Wales next weekend.

I watched Wales play England last weekend but didn’t see a lot in there that will trouble this All Blacks side.

They certainly have some big boys – highlighted by 110kg wing George North – but it means they are pretty one-dimensional in their use of one-off runners.

To me, they looked to be missing guys who can break the game open, like a Shane Williams.

Admittedly, my impression is based largely on one performance and they will improve on tour.

They will also lift because of the opposition.

But the size of the Welsh won’t intimidate the All Blacks. They have a few big boys of their own and play bulky players every week in Super Rugby.

It’s often said the All Blacks are more vulnerable in their opening test of the year because it takes time to get the team playing in the right way.

But I don’t see it this year.

There’s no doubt the All Blacks will miss players like Richie McCaw, Ma’a Nonu, Conrad Smith and Dan Carter but I actually think it’s the fact they aren’t there that they will perform right from the outset this year.

It is an All Blacks squad picked on form and the new guys will be so eager to impress and prove they belong they will go well.

Sam Cane said this week we won’t really know how much we are going to miss all the old All Blacks until they are under the pump with five minutes to go.

That was when those players were at their best, when they made good decisions under pressure, and why the All Blacks got through a few tight scrapes.

It will come at some stage but I see the games against Australia and South Africa as more difficult assignments.

Even so, I still don’t see the All Blacks as being vulnerable.

The ‘newbies’ also bring plenty of experience. Cane has played 30 tests, Aaron Cruden 37 and even the new-look midfield has experienced duo Malikai Fekitoa (13) and Ryan Crotty (15).

And if they didn’t have enough to overcome, Wales haven’t beaten the All Blacks since 1953.

Coach Steve Hansen is a pretty clever guy. He will have a few things up his sleeve but I can’t see any major changes to the way the All Blacks have been playing, especially in the first couple of tests.

And it will be too much for Wales.

United go on goal spree

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Following a 1-1 stalemate against Selwyn in their last outing a fortnight ago, Mid Canterbury United were gunning for a big win over FC Twenty Falcons on Saturday, and they got it.

Martin Fitzgerald’s side ran rampant for a 7-2 win at Burnside Park to put themselves back into contention among the Robbies division two elite.

Greg Feutz opened the scoring with a well-placed header into the roof of the net from a corner.

Falcons regrouped though, with plenty of possession, but Mid Canterbury defended well, particularly on the left flank where fullback Dan Doherty was solid throughout.

Against the run of play, Mid Canterbury doubled their lead through Adam George with a welltaken finish, but the home side returned fire to halve the deficit at 2-1.

Falcons continued to come forward after kick off but were caught on the counter-attack as Feutz netted a second to put United 3-1 ahead at half time.

Falcons came out strongly in the second half and had the better of possession again, catching United napping at times, but failed to capitalise on their opportunities.

As he has a habit of doing, Feutz was on hand again to alleviate the pressure by completing his hattrick for Mid Canterbury’s fourth

Ashburton Guardian 17

of the afternoon to put the tie out of reach.

Falcons found the net again moments later but Gareth Tolley added a fifth before Feutz bagged his fourth and Mid Canterbury’s sixth to round off an exceptional individual day’s play.

Eddie Kettle, who has been in fine scoring form of late, scored the seventh as Mid Canterbury secured the three points in style.

Meanwhile, Mid Canterbury Masters could not be separated from Coastal Spirit in their Robbies division two masters clash at the Ashburton Domain.

With both sides failing to take their chances, the first half ended scoreless, but the action soon heated up early in the second.

Spirit were awarded two penalties in the opening five minutes of the second half, but only managed to convert one from Dave McCracken.

They held that slender 1-0 lead up until the 75th minute when Matt Galbraith levelled proceedings at 1-1.

With second lefts to play, Rob Breen had the chance to steal with win for Mid Canterbury but nodded his effort over Darren Johnson’s crossbar from inside the sixyard box.

Mid Canterbury seniors will next be in action against FC Twenty Thunder Panthers at the Ashburton Domain, while the Masters face Papanui Pirates at Redwood Park.

The Black Sticks Women have won gold at the International Hockey Open in Darwin with an impressive 2-0 result over hosts Australia in the final. Edged by the Hockeyroos in the round robin, the Kiwis came out firing in the final and were resolute on both sides of the ball.

The Black Sticks were fuelled by goals from Kelsey Smith and Olivia Merry while staunch defence ensured the rare feat of keeping Australia scoreless. It was the perfect ending to the tournament for Canterbury striker Sophie Cocks who brought up her 100th international cap.

Warriors ‘off the leash’ By michael Burgess

Josh has tryline in sight Josh Lowe goes on a strong run with ball in hand for his Methven under 6 side against Allenton in Saturday’s Rippa Rugby competition. Lowe is supported by Freddy Cairns as he evades the defending Allenton players and goes on to score a try.

A lethargic start to their UC Championship clash against Burnside High School proved costly again for Ashburton College’s 1st XV on Saturday. College found themselves 29-6 behind at half time with their points coming from the boot of Kerry Claydon-Wade via two penalties. But a second half revival saw College keep Burnside scoreless, while adding two tries of their own through Milsy Stephens-Tahuri and Elama Touli, while fullback Western Bartlett added one conversion to bring the score to 29-18.

Slow start again costly

It might be time to get back on the Warriors’ rollercoaster.

In a year that has provided far more spills than thrills, the Warriors summoned up a brilliant display on Saturday night to dispatch Brisbane.

The eventual scoreline probably even flattered the visitors, as the game was over with more than 30 minutes to play when the home side led 28-6.

The Warriors have a long history of defying expectation, but nobody saw this kind of performance coming after the despair and turmoil of the past fortnight.

The key was energy and conviction, as the team did everything with purpose.

And, as coach Andrew McFadden mentioned during the week, the players were let off the leash and produced the kind of attacking play the club have been famed for over the years.

“We wanted to get back to that [kind of game],” said halfback Shaun Johnson.

“There was a focus on us playing our type of footy and getting back to having fun with it.

The forwards did a really good job of setting the platform and

some offloads came off the back of that.”

In time, we will find out what this result really means.

Is it the start of something or yet another false dawn?

The Warriors were fortunate to host Brisbane a few days after an Origin match and also got the rub of the green, particularly when the referees rubbed out two Broncos tries for forward passes just before halftime.

They were both correct calls but have been missed in other games.

But the Warriors made their own luck by producing an uptempo display on attack and defence.

“We had a certain energy about us that we haven’t had over the last month or so,” said Johnson. “We knew we were the only people that could change what was going on and that performance was the first step in doing that.”

It was easily the best display of the season.

The pack bested their highlyrated opposites, Johnson gave (yet another) response to his critics and Tui Lolohea, Solomone Kata and David Fusitua all caught the eye in the back line.

West Coast Fever have ended their two-game losing streak with a 63-51 netball league win over the Adelaide Thunderbirds. Fever’s exceptional defence and shooter Caitlin Bassett’s 93 per cent accuracy rate meant the clash in Adelaide yesterday was a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile the Steel thrashed the Tactix 81-51.

Cowboys wary of Sharks Reigning premiers North Queensland are bracing for a physical barrage from Cronulla when they meet at Shark Park on Monday week.

The Cowboys dispatched Newcastle 46-16 on Saturday and their focus has quickly turned to Cronulla who have surprised most pundits to lead the competition going into round 13. Cowboys skipper Johnathan Thurston was full of praise for the Sharks, who have shaped themselves into the competition’s best attacking team.

- AAP

Cronulla eye history On the cusp of equalling their best ever start to an NRL season, Cronulla have a chance to clear an important mental hurdle against fellow title contenders Canterbury tonight. The Sharks will go to 10-2 with victory at what’s expected to be a wet and woolly ANZ Stadium.

Should they get over the line, it will equal the start to the season made by the 1999 Sharks who – led by Andrew Ettingshausen, Mat Rogers and David Peachey – secured one of the club’s two minor premierships.

Japan down Tall Ferns The Tall Ferns went down 75-59 to Japan in the Four Nations Tournament played in Minsk on Saturday. It was a much improved performance from the 31 points defeat suffered at the hands of Turkey the day before. The Kiwis made a promising start against the reigning Asian champions jumping out to a 13-5 lead before being hauled in.

Monbet seals superstar status

By Duane RangeR Greg Hope isn’t sure if Monbet can come back a better horse next season, but he’s pretty sure he doesn’t have too.

The standout trotter signed off on his stellar four-year-old season with his second Harness Jewels victory in the exact same time he ran when he won the 2YO Ruby two years ago.

And while the great season is now over, Hope, who trains with his wife Nina, is already looking forward to the next one.

“I’m not sure he can come back better next season, but I don’t think he probably has too,” he said.

“He takes everything in his stride and just does what he needs to do.”

The Ruby ran pretty much to script with Sunny Ruby leading them a merry chase while Monbet settled early before launching inside the final lap – Ricky May never really looked panicked

Monbet and Ricky May scored another big win when the duo took out the $100,000 4YO Ruby Trot at the Cambridge Harness Jewels meeting on Saturday.

and when he asked for effort at the top of the straight, Monbet strode clear.

“Then he knocked off,” May said.

“You’ve got to keep him up to the task, he’s one of those horses

who doesn’t stretch himself any more than he has too.”

Just before May moved there was a heart-in-the-mouth moment when Paramount Dream, who was in front of Monbet, galloped.

“It got pretty close and I thought we might have been in trouble there for a moment.”

Monbet will head to the paddock now, but he’s got the chance to win one more big title before the season is over.

On July 30 he will be awarded Four-Year-Old Trotter of the Year, Trotter of the Year and there is a real possibility he could take home the major prize of Horse of the Year.

“He deserves it.

“I know I’m biased, but not many horses do what he’s done this season.”

Le Reveur was the best of the beaten brigade, sprinting up strongly from the trail to finish second for Bob Butt.

Reine Des Gitans with young driver Andre Poutama in the sulky emerged out of the pack to finish third at massive money.

Royal Shine finished fourth but was disqualified in the room after the race for galloping too far at the start.

DD happy at Cambridge Dexter Dunn is fast becoming the biggest fan of Harness Jewels racing at Cambridge. The unparalleled horseman notched up his sixth Cambridge Harness Jewels victory, and his second for the day, when he produced a perfect drive on Field Marshal to get the Tim Butt trained pacer home for victory in the 4YO Emerald.

“I’m quite liking this place at the moment,” Dunn said. “I’ve had a bit of luck here that’s for sure.” - HRNZ

All Stars run hot Harness racing history was made in the last of the nine Jewels races on Saturday and it came as no surprise that Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen’s All Stars created it.

For the first time the stable has won every Group One pacing event in 2015-2016. “That’s an amazing feat and I owe it all to my staff. I came here today thinking three wins would be a pass mark, but to win five of nine is incredible. You are nothing without staff and this is an All Stars day. I’m absolutely delighted,” said Mark Purdon.

Autridge confident A pleasing trial over the demanding Ellerslie steeplechase circuit on Tuesday has co-trainer Stephen Autridge confident his charge Brer will be well suited when he tackles the time-honoured MacGregor Grant Steeplechase at the venue today. The Electrolux-sponsored prestige jumping event is the feature attraction at Ellerslie’s traditional Queen’s Birthday Monday raceday with Autridge keen to see his promising chaser go one better after finishing second last start. - NZME

Winning roll continues Underrated stayer Storming The Tower continued on his winning way at Ellerslie on the weekend as he captured the time-honoured Cornwall Handicap with a dominant front-running performance.

Fresh off the back of success in the Gr. 3 Rotorua Cup at his last start, the John Bell-trained galloper had to lump the topweight of 60kg in Saturday’s contest and did so in fine style for rider Samantha Collett. Bell believes his charge has finally come of age with three wins in his last five starts.

- NZME

Along for the ride Co-trainer Margaret Carter had two simple instructions for apprentice Zy Nor Azman when discussing tactics for stable representative Mr Knowitall ahead of the fourth race at Ellerslie on Saturday. “I simply said to him to let the horse do his own thing and make sure he has a clear run when you ask him for his final effort,” she explained after the nuggety Civics gelding claimed his eight career success for Carter and her husband Tim who prepare him from their Cambridge base.- NZME

Provocative no certainty New Zealand filly Provocative is guaranteed a start in the rescheduled Queensland Oaks but could instead run in the Derby on the same day. The Tony Pike-trained Provocative was promoted as the first emergency with the scratching of Beluga Blue. “The Oaks and the Derby will be on the same day so I’ll have a chat with the owners about which way we go,” Pike said. - NZME

Serena dethroned

By Pritha Sarkar For a split second Garbine Muguruza stood wide-eyed and open mouthed as she seemed to have no clue if her lob had landed in – but as she turned towards the VIP Box, the wild cheers proved she had dethroned Serena Williams to win the French Open title.

The 22-year-old Spaniard, who produced a performance of rare maturity to deny Williams a 22nd major trophy with a 7-5 6-4 victory in an hour and 43 minutes, was soon covered head-to-toe in clay after collapsing on to her back to celebrate her maiden grand slam triumph.

Her shirt, arms, white sweatbands, cheeks and hair were all caked in red dirt but Muguruza did not care a jot as she became the first Spanish woman to hoist the Suzanne Lenglen Cup since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1998.

“It (match point) was really weird.

“Serena was in front of the ball so I didn’t know if it was in or out,” said a beaming Muguruza, who

Garbine Muguruza with her first Grand Slam trophy. was presented with the trophy by American great Billie Jean King.

“I looked at the umpire and he doesn’t want to say anything. I was like, ‘did I win Roland Garros?’

“When he said, ‘game, set, and match’... it was like ... no way. I won.

“It was amazing.”

Incredibly, the Caracas-born player had never claimed a claycourt title before winning what she called “the perfect final” yesterday.

If she was the superstitious kind, she would have chosen not to flick through the record books – as the last time a woman contested her first claycourt final in Paris, she got walloped 6-0 6-0 by an incumbent world number one.

Not only did Muguruza avoid suffering the same fate as Natasha Zvereva, who was humiliated by Steffi Graf in 1988, she did not even allow the current number one to win a set.

“She’s world number two after this, only one more step to be number one ... she’s going to win many more grand slams,” 1994 Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez said of the new title-holder.

“She’s a great player on any surface. Spain is very lucky to have this unbelievable tennis player.”

Muguruza has a history of leaving Williams feeling ill at ease in Paris as the Spaniard is the only woman to have beaten the American there since 2012. That 2-0 record includes a 6-2 6-2 second round win two years ago – the heaviest defeat of Williams’ 339-match grand slam career.

6/6

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Where are the lasting rewards coming from? Not the same place as the short-term rewards – not today, anyway. Likely it’s your work that will bring the deep soul satisfaction now.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): How do you become a lighter, brighter person when the circumstances seem designed to anchor you to a sinking ship?

Truly it’s a matter of focus and perspective. You’re freer than you understand. Test this.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When you’re trying, the other people on the team are trying, and all key players are working in the same direction – that’s when things start to happen. Weed out the dissenters.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Yours is a good answer, but it’s not the only good one you’ll hear today. Ask for a sampling from many different types of people.

There’s magic in the blending of ideas, as long as one of the major ideas is coming from you!

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You can’t do your best if you haven’t slept enough or eaten the right things. The basics – they can’t be stressed enough these days.

They are the essence of your success.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Sophisticated prizes require sophisticated methods. Running after something isn’t the best way to catch it. You’ll hang back, perhaps talking about all angles with a mentor.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ve a dominant talent that you’re missing here. Start with that. First lead with your strength, and then you’ll add more skills, practice and teamwork to the mix.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): One way we protect ourselves from unpleasant truths is self-delusion. If you find that you’re talking yourself into or out of a situation, consider that you may have a need that you’re not addressing. What is it?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your compassion goes beyond what anyone would ask of you today.

You demand this of yourself because you sense you can change the world a little with a few drops of love.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Seek understanding.

It won’t stop the bad feelings or the good ones, either. But it will help you move gracefully through those feelings instead of clinging to any for too long.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your capacity for love grows with the love you give and receive.

Ratios must balance. You won’t be aware enough to receive too much more than you know how to give.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Just a little more analysis and you will finally figure out what’s going to fix the problem. The next step is in catering an approach that is uniquely designed for the person who can help you the most.

Sport Messi at Old Trafford?

Manchester United are exploring the potential of a sensational move to bring Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi to Old Trafford. The Daily Mail revealed that United have made two approaches in the last three weeks in an attempt to gauge whether a move for the Argentine might be possible. Any move is more likely to be with a view to United returning to the Champions League under Jose Mourinho in 2017-18. A deal for Messi would smash the £85.3m world record transfer that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale.

Mid Canterbury A came from behind to take a 3-1 win over Nomads Ladies in their women’s division one fixture at the Ash-

burton Domain yesterday.

Nomads went ahead inside five minutes, but Mid Canterbury responded in style with a well-taken finish from midfielder Neysa Koizumi.

Georgina Hemsley then put Mid Canterbury ahead from 12 yards after the home side were awarded a penalty for a late challenge to take a 2-1 lead into half time.

With an hour of the match played, Jordana Watson secured the vital three points after beating the goalkeeper off a corner for a deserved 3-1 win for the local team.

Henry gives Warriors a helping hand Warriors coach Andrew McFadden says the presence and support of former All Blacks World Cup winning coach Sir Graham Henry had given him confidence throughout the club’s recent struggles.

Henry has spent the past

month working with the Warriors and alongside McFadden in an unpaid mentoring role.

He sat in the coach’s box as the Warriors bounced back from consecutive defeats in Saturday’s win over Brisbane, and his recent work had helped McFad-

Black Sticks strike gold P17

den maintain his focus and selfbelief during a testing time.

McFadden is contracted until the end of next season but remains under pressure to hold his job.

It’s been reported he will be axed if the Warriors don’t make

the playoffs this year or at least show a considerable improvement.

“It’s just giving me support, and understanding that what we’re trying to do at the Warriors is the right thing to do,” said McFadden.

Kayaker Lisa Carrington continued to dominate the short distance ahead of the Rio Olympics. She’s won another World Cup regatta in the K1 200, winning the third meet in Portugal. Carrington won the final by half a second before going on to beat the field in her K1 500 heat to go straight to last night’s decider.

Marty McDowell finished ninth and last in his K1 1000 final. In the K1 500m heats, Carrington backed up to defeat Austria’s Ana Legaci and Ireland’s Jennifer Egan to qualify for the final.

Honda re-signs Marquez Two-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has agreed to a two-year extension with Repsol Honda that will keep him with the team through the 2018 season. Marquez won the MotoGP championship in 2013 and 2014 with Honda and finished third last year.

The 23-year-old Spaniard currently sits second in the 2016 standings after six races. The extension locks up the Honda team for the next two years.

Marquez’ team-mate, Dani Pedrosa, recently agreed to stay through the 2018 season.
