Community rallies to support sisters

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Cantabrians have rallied to support the survivors of a tragic fire 120 kilometres away.

Donations have been quickly gathered to help the three girls (Mamata, 12, Manisha, 16, and Tulsa Kafle, 23) left without a father, mother and little brother after a devastating fire in Waimate.

Beds, smartphones, craft supplies and even laptops were donated less than 36 hours after the girls survived the fire and the tragedy became clear.

The push for local support has been spearheaded by Ashburton woman Amy Duder – who, as a three-year-old, spent six months in hospital with seri-

ous burns after playing with matches.

She also has strong connections with the fire service – her father was a fire safety officer in Christchurch for 37 years while other relatives have also served as firefighters.

When she heard about the tragic fire in Waimate, which claimed the lives of Nepalese couple Tej and Tika Kafle and their nine-year-old son Prem, she knew she wanted to do something to help the girls left behind.

“This has touched my heart, and I really want to help these girls,” she said.

“They’ve got nothing, they’ve walked out with the smoky clothes on their backs.”

All it took was a few calls for the Ashburton community to show its

generous spirit and donations started pouring in, she said.

Beds R Us Ashburton is donating three beds for the sisters, who will be staying with their uncle in Christchurch. Owner Chris Redmond said his clients had strong affiliations with the local Nepalese community.

He also has ties to the country, as his daughter Frances was in Nepal on a school trip when a devastating earthquake struck earlier this year.

“We thought it would be nice to donate to the girls seeing as such a sad thing had happened,” he said.

Another plague death in Colorado The plague has killed a second person this year in the US state of Colorado. Pueblo County announced yesterday that an adult had died of the disease, which was likely spread by fleas from a dead animal. Cases of the plague are rare and deaths are even rarer. Across the United States an average of seven human plague cases is reported each year, although Colorado had eight on its own last year.

Emotional The organiser of a mass Foo Fighters singalong in Italy cried “like a baby” when he saw Dave Grohl’s emotional response to the film. More than 1000 musicians came together in a field close to the northern city of Cesena to play Foo Fighters track Learn to Fly in unison in a bid to convince the rockers to perform in the region. A film of the stunt went viral and prompted Grohl to record a video message in Italian in which he promised to bring his band to Cesena, and now organiser Fabio Zaffagnini has revealed he was left in tears after watching the singer’s clip. “Yeah, I started crying like a baby. I’m not an emotional person, but so much went into it ... I thought it was a joke when I first saw it (Grohl’s video). When I realised it was him, I started crying again! I don’t cry often, but it’s been very hard to contain the emotions I’ve had ... I’ve been completely overwhelmed by everything,” he told Britain’s The Guardian newspaper. “I feel very proud and I would like to thank everyone that gave us a hand. This is something that could be life changing for all of us.”

Gumboot tosser Tossing gumboots has become a quirky sideline in the international athletics career of former Tauranga decathlete Brent Newdick. Newdick’s winning throw of 48.5 metres at the national championships in Taihape has earned him the right to compete in the world championships near Rome. His glimpse of possible global boot-throwing domination comes after throwing a gumboot only four times. Newdick said countries that were good at Olympic throwing disciplines, such as Estonia and Finland, were well represented in boot throwing.

With the world record standing at over 60m, Newdick knows he needs a big improvement to be in contention.

What a dad!

A Taupo dad has had a cochlear implant tattooed on his head to help his little girl not feel like the odd one out. Charlotte, 6, who had her first implant put in at the age of four in 2013, has just had her second one put in and was due to be discharged from Starship Hospital yesterday morning.

The Hearing House fundraising and communications manager, Mary Jane Boland, said this second implant would give Charlotte “more sound” and help her better distinguish the direction it’s coming from. In a gesture of support of his daughter, Alistair Campbell got his own tattooed on the left side of his head. A photo on Twitter shows Mr Campbell, holding his daughter, with the picture of the implant tattooed on his otherwise bald head. It’s gone viral on social media.

Pisa’s inquisitive lean Dunedin cat Pisa has an inquisitive lean after a clash with a hedge trimmer. SPCA Otago business development manager Kirsty Thomson said the two-year-old tabby was found injured in a North Taieri hedge that had been trimmed by an industrial tractor-driven cutter about New Year. The cat was found in the hedge with no collar, or microchip. It had ticks in a “shredded” ear, temporary deafness, an abscess on his eyeball and a neck injury, which made him tilt his head. SPCA Otago rescued the cat, called him Pisa and raised funds for his urgent surgery. “SPCA doesn’t have all the funds in the world to be able to give expensive operations to every cat, but he is very special,” Ms Thomson said. Amelia Ohren said she adopted Pisa in June and the “cuddly” cat was in good health and eating well. The head tilt made him look inquisitive, Miss Ohren said. “He looks like he is questioning everything.”

■ WAIMATE FIRE

Sisters farewell loved ones A moving service last night farewelled three happy, hardworking and generous members of a Nepalese family who had moved to New Zealand for a better life but perished in a horror house fire on Wednesday.

Tej Kafle, 49, wife Tika, 38, and youngest of four children, 8-year-old Prem, died in the blaze that engulfed the five-bedroom flat above their Everest Indian Restaurant in Waimate about 7.40am.

Sisters Tulsi, 24, Manisha, 17, and Mamata, 11, who all sleep in the same room, woke to the fire and tried to rescue their parents and younger brother but were beaten back by smoke and flames.

They managed to escape by smashing a window and yesterday told how they fought in vain to save their loved ones.

The parents and son were last night farewelled in front of more than 100 family and friends at Palmer Funeral Services in Papanui.

Mourners placed colourful flowers on top of the three wooden coffins.

Three lit candles represented the lives lost and incense burned as the three orphaned and distraught daughters and grandparents, who had been visiting from Nepal, were consoled by friends and family.

Speakers in both English and Nepalese spoke of the close family who had become wellknown and well-loved in the small, tight-knit South Canterbury community of Waimate.

Local mayor Craig Rowley said their deaths have been “a huge loss, not just for you, but for our community”.

Adam Rivett, principal of Waimate Main School where

Prem attended with his sister Mamata, fought back tears when he spoke of how the deaths had affected his school.

Five staff and five students attended the Hindu service last night, but Prem had been such a huge part of the school that Mr Rivett said he “could easily have come with all our school”.

Waimate High School principal Janette Packman spoke of the “real shock and deep sadness” which has affected the whole school.

Waimate resident Bob Rogers said he met the Kafle family 12 months ago. They often visited him, with Mr and Mrs Kafle growing vegetables in his garden, and the children tending flowers.

He described the eldest sister, Tulsi as a “very special person” and a “wise young lady” who has been working hard to fulfil her dream of becoming a nurse.

Mr Rogers vowed to continue supporting the girls and said he, and others, would ensure that Tulsi lives out her dream.

Earlier yesterday, the sisters spoke for the first time since their ordeal.

They had been in bed in the room they shared about to get up for school when the blaze started.

“I was sitting in the bed ... my sister woke up, opened the door and at that moment they were shouting out and telling, ‘Mum, mum,’ and I was wondering what happened,” Manisha said from her uncle Bishnu Kafle’s home in Christchurch where he says he will take them in.

Tulsi said she first noticed there was a fire when a “strong wind” rushed through the door.

“I said, ‘It is not earthquake, what’s happening?”‘ Tulsi said.

She opened the door and said there was a “high wind” in the

corridor. “I called loudly my mum and dad and they didn’t answer me. What to do? I hadn’t any idea. It was really smoky.”

Tulsi managed to break a window after hitting it three or four times with her forearm.

They escaped through the smashed glass on to a balcony above shops below.

Tulsi added: “We are sad we could not save our parents. We are really saddened.”

The girls say they have an uncertain future. They don’t know whether they will stay in New Zealand or return to Nepal.

“We have no idea at the moment,” said Tulsi.

■ RUGBY WORLD CUP

Push to allow pubs to open

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

Ashburton punters keen to watch the Rugby World Cup in the comfort of one of their local pubs could be in luck.

A bill will be tabled in parliament next week that would allow licensed premises to open outside of their usual trading hours for a set period of time, allowing them to screen the games live.

ACT leader David Seymour, who is tabling the bill, said being able to watch the most important event on the New Zealand sporting calendar was “critical” for many Kiwis.

While he didn’t want people “partying 24-7”, he believed community pubs should be able to open a few hours earlier than normal for the event.

“People should be able to go in wearing their team colours, order maybe a coffee and breakfast, maybe also a

pint, and enjoy the game together,” he said. Ashburton Trust acting chief executive Robert Reid said while the trust’s establishments were not likely to open for all of the games, they would like to screen the knockout stages and final.

“I think it’s a positive thing to be opening up and allowing bars to show those games,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t have Sky at home, so it’s a good way for a group of people to come down and watch those games.”

The trust would be likely to pick one or two of its establishments to screen the games rather than opening them all.

“There’s not enough people showing an interest to justify opening everywhere,” he said.

They would also consider putting on a breakfast at their venues for those who turned out for the 6am to 8am games, he said.

Tinwald Tavern manager Trevor Whiting could be joined by keen rugby fans for early morning world cup matches if a new bill passes in Parliament next week.

■ GLOBAL DAIRY TRADE

Calls for halt to milk auctions

By NadiNe Porter

nadine.p@theguardian.co.nz

Calls for a discussion over the suspension of the Global Dairy Trade auction are growing as dairy farmers try to recover from the 10th consecutive fall in milk prices.

Led by Waikato Federated Farmers president Chris Lewis, others including the organisation’s national dairy chairman, Andrew Hoggard, have been suggesting Fonterra takes a look into a possible suspension.

Mr Hoggard said while Federated Farmers did not have an official position on suspension,

Ridley has new home Ridley the endangered sea turtle who washed up in Wellington is heading north to a new home.

The young female olive ridley sea turtle was found at a beach in the suburb of Lyall Bay last month and has since been cared for by Wellington Zoo’s hospital The Nest Te Kohanga. But today she’ll fly to Auckland’s Kelly Tarlton’s aquarium, where she will be temporarily housed until she’s strong enough to be released into the wild.

- NZME

he had spoken to Fonterra and proposed they seek an independent comment from “people totally removed from New Zealand politics”.

Mr Hoggard said his own personal view was that suspension was raised in 2009 in the last global financial crisis when Irish farmers were upset about how the GDT was affecting their incomes.

“But they had a bunch of independent reviews and as a result the Irish shut up.”

There was an argument that the current GDT auction was driving the speed of volatility faster than farmers had seen

before through increased market awareness, he said.

“People see it going down so it goes down faster but the flipside is that if it goes up it goes up higher.”

Mr Hoggard said the auction was run by a Chicago based firm and he was not sure Fonterra could stop it “even if it wanted to”.

Fonterra could stop selling product at the auction and reduce supply and lift prices, but buyers would still know how much milk had been processed, he said.

“So buyers could say screw you – we’ll wait two weeks. I’m

not sure that’s going to work.”

Several sharemilkers in the Waikato had just been put into receivership, he said.

Locally, Valetta second year conversion dairy farmer Jason Ryan said he would support a discussion over suspending the trade.

“We just need to set a price … it’s ridiculous.

“Stuff the auctions. We should just say this is our minimum price.”

Mr Ryan said he has been focusing on day-to-day farming rather than worrying about market issues he has no control over.

■ IHC FUNDRAISERS

Legitimate collectors spark concerns among residents

Special show and tell Eight-year-old Chelsea-Blue Sinclair had something rather special to show her classmates at show and tell at her school yesterday. The budding artist woke yesterday morning to find a letter from Buckingham Palace, following a painting she sent to the Queen for her 89th birthday in April.

The painting was of the Queen standing beside the royal crown and the Crown Jewels. “I’ve been drawing since I was 4. I really like drawing pictures for people and I thought it would be nice to do it for the Queen.” The envelope from the palace was stamped “royal mail” and the letter, thanking Chelsea-Blue for her painting, was signed by the Queen’s personal assistant.

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

IHC New Zealand is allaying fears after concerned Ashburton residents who believed they were being scammed contacted police.

Allenton resident Debbie Shore said she was initially concerned when she encountered a person knocking on her door, stating they were from IHC. The person didn’t want money, she said, rather they wanted her to sign up to a direct debit scheme.

Fellow Allenton resident Deirdre Moses said she too received a knock on her door earlier this week, and was also concerned about the collector’s legitimacy.

A man collecting for IHC visited her home twice, but when asked would not leave any information.

“So I said no thank you, and shut the door,” Mrs Moses said.

“I thought it was a bit weird, you think if it was legitimate they would leave a brochure or a website address.”

Mrs Moses then contacted police.

She also took to social media to air her concerns and had an influx of people respond – many saying they too had been door-knocked that same evening.

IHC New Zealand national communications manager Gina Rogers said in this instance IHC did have collectors in the area, but if people were concerned they were best to contact

police in the first instance.

She said the collectors should be identifiable, wearing branded IHC shirts and carrying identification.

However they do not leave material unless people have signed up, but they can direct people to a website or give them an

0800 number.

Consumer New Zealand’s Do Not Knock campaign outlines that while collectors or door-to-door sales people have an implied licence to enter a property and knock on the door, people can revoke that licence.

New rubbish bags hit a sour note

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

They were supposed to be more bang for your buck, but the council’s new rubbish bags have hit a sour note with frustrated Mid Cantabrians.

The Ashburton District Council has been trialling new rubbish bags that were supposed to be stronger and more durable, giving punters better value for money.

Waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin said no complaints had been received following the two-month trial.

“Since the sale of these new bags began, more than 28,000 have been collected from the kerbside with no adverse difference in the operational impact than the old bags,” he said.

However, members of the community have taken to social media to slam both the price and quality of the bags.

In a post on the Guardian’s Facebook page Sally Williams described the quality as “shocking”, while Kay Fallon said they were smaller, thinner, and more expensive.

Another post on an Ash-

burton-based Facebook group sparked more criticism of the bags, with one user claiming the price was “daylight robbery”.

Much of the criticism centred around the quality of the bags, with many users saying they ripped or split too easily.

The cost of a five-pack of rubbish bags has soared by about 75 per cent in recent years, from $6.30 in 2007 to their current price of $11.

Ahead of the price rise from $10 to $11, which occurred at the end of June, the council undertook two trials – new, tougher bags and a single bag sale option.

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

He told the Guardian this week the council uses a standard base specification for the size and volume of the bags, and it would continue to seek the best market price from a reputable supplier without compromising on quality.

The quality of the council’s new rubbish bags have been slammed on social media.

■ EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTRES

Shift in role attitude slow

By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

The idea that early childhood centres are nothing more than glorified babysitting services is slowly fading out as teachers become more qualified, according to an Ashburton centre manager.

Early Childhood Centres have come under fire after a government report found some centres were not providing adequate education for under-3s.

The Education Review Office (ERO) conducted a review of over 200 early childhood centres in 2014.

It found that while they were good at establishing good relationships, 46 per cent lacked a responsive curriculum that enabled children to be “communicators and explorers”.

Tiddlywinks director Amanda Moore said as teachers had become more qualified there had been a shift in attitude about the role of early

childhood centres.

“There are some people who think that you’re just babysitters,” she said.

“But I do think there is a change in mindset about that, and I think it’s because all our teachers are coming out with degrees now.”

Mrs Moore said the centre had a very strong focus on both the early childhood and primary school curriculums.

“So we’re making sure what we need to cover in early childhood can also be extended into primary school,” she said.

There could also be a difference in how smaller and larger facilities operated as they often had different staffing ratios, she said. “A lot of larger centres work on the minimum ratios, and when you’re a large corporation it’s a business,” she said.

“Whereas with Steph and I, it’s our business but it’s also our passion.”

Want to spend time in prison?

By Craig Borley Tourists could end up going to jail to eat, explore, and perhaps even sleep once planned construction work on Dunedin’s historic prison is completed.

The Dunedin Prison Trust lodged a planning application with the Dunedin City Council last week, detailing some $250,000 of restorative work which would return the prison’s exterior to its original 1898 condition.

The building’s roof and walls would be repaired and seismic strengthening carried out, work expected to cost another $250,000.

Funding applications had been lodged with the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board and several other grants providers, trust chairman Stewart Harvey said yesterday.

While decisions on the planning applications were expected by the end of this month, results from the funding applications might not be known until the end of the year, Mr Harvey said.

But, the trust was optimistic funding would be found.

All going well, construction work would begin in the second half of the coming summer and last 14 to 16 weeks.

From there, it was hoped a commercial tenant – there had already been interest from a hostel company – would lease the building’s Castle Street frontage of the

building, housing the old administration block.

That would make the site commercially viable and allow the trust to move on to the next stage of development, Mr Harvey said.

That second phase would include ripping out the various non-original structures cluttering the historic inner courtyard and turning it into a dining space for a highclass restaurant.

The restaurant would be served by the existing commercial kitchen, and the courtyard covered by a glass roof, Mr Harvey said.

The three wings of prison cells – each one three storeys high and together housing 56 cells – would form the integral part of an interactive tour, which the trust hoped would include an array of props and actors.

A museum and shop were also planned, while a new entranceway would be built on the prison’s southern side and a lift installed.

“Certainly, we aim to make it a ‘must see’ tourist attraction in Dunedin,” Mr Harvey said. “And it will be.”

Trust facilities manager Peter Caswell said tours had been run at the prison for the past few years.

While the tours were not yet anywhere near the standard the trust planned, those who went on them were universally impressed with the experience.

The Auckland teenager and 36-year-old Dean Whakatau, who she told family had been holding her against her will, were found in the eastern Bay of Plenty yesterday.

Police were alerted to the teen’s disappearance after her family received Facebook messages and texts on Saturday saying she had been kidnapped and needed help.

On Monday, police said there were “grave concerns” for LA and a warrant for Whakatau’s arrest had been issued. However, police have this week refused to confirm whether the hunt for LA was being treated as a kidnapping.

Yesterday morning, after several days of intense media coverage, a member of the public spotted a Toyota Corol-

LA Tukerangi

la authorities had been searching for. They alerted police and an officer found the pair at an address in Te Kaha.

Whakatau was taken into custody and would appear in Whakatane District Court today on an unrelated charge.

Police would not speculate on further charges yesterday.

LA was in police care and would be reunited with her family today.

Detective Senior Sergeant Zane Smith said one of the first things LA wanted to do after being found was to speak to her family.

“LA was transported back to Opotiki police station, where she has had a fairly emotional phone conversation with family,” he said.

“At the Opotiki police station is the first time the pair have been apart, so it is her reaction in calling the family that I think is important.”

Mr Smith said police had arranged for LA to have a full medical assessment, but she did not appear to be physically injured.

She would be interviewed by specialist interviewers today, but it would take police some time to piece together what had happened over the past few weeks.

Mr Smith said family and friends were thrilled to know LA was safe and sound.

“They have asked us to express on their behalf that they are very happy and relieved that she’s been found, and they want to thank everyone who have supported them over the past few weeks.

“They are really looking forward to seeing her.”

Yesterday family and friends of both LA and Whakatau said they were pleased the pair had been found.

A spokeswoman for the Tukerangi family said it was “awesome that she’s been found”.

“That’s fantastic for the whanau,” she said.

The spokeswoman said the family was planning to make the trip to Rotorua to see LA. Police yesterday thanked the public for their “considerable support”.

Preventive detention The man who raped and murdered Blessie Gotingco may pay for it with his life behind bars – a sentence that is hefty compared with historic New Zealand cases, criminal law experts say.

Tony Douglas Robertson, 28, was sentenced to life imprisonment yesterday.

He has a minimum non-parole period of 24 years for the murder and preventive detention for the rape, meaning he will only be released when he is no longer considered a threat to society.

It is just six years less than the longest non-parole prison sentence dished out in New Zealand. William Duane Bell was sentenced to life with a 30-year non-parole period after his murderous spree at Mt Wellington-Panmure RSA in 2001.

In court yesterday, Crown prosecutor Michael Walker suggested Robertson be dealt a minimum non-parole period of 21 to 23 years, and defence counsel Chris WilkinsonSmith put forward as little as 18 years.

But Justice Timothy Brewer said he had no doubt Robertson would reoffend if released from prison.

“Your history makes it very plain you would be very likely to commit another qualifying offence no matter how long any finite sentence might be,” he said.

In brief Deadline looms As the Ministry of Education’s deadline for statutory intervention approaches, King’s High School is preparing to meet ministry representatives to find a way forward. The ministry has given the school until the end of today to establish an enrolment scheme, or it will appoint a limited statutory manager (LSM) to do so for the school. The proposed measure is to manage overcrowding. The school’s board of trustees has been challenging the ministry because it does not believe there is a need for an enrolment scheme.

However, board chairman David Booth yesterday said he intended to call the ministry to set up a meeting, which he hoped would negotiate the way forward. - NZME

Port company fined The Lyttleton Port Company must pay the family of a worker who died on the job $75,000 reparation. At its sentencing in the Christchurch District Court yesterday, the company was also fined $63,000 over the death of Bradley Fletcher. He was killed in August last year when the scissor lift he was using toppled over while he was trying to jump-start a straddle carrier. Mr Fletcher was thrown from the lift and hit a shipping container before falling to the ground. He suffered fatal head and brain injuries.

Sex offender loose Police did not find out that a high-risk sex offender was on the run until seven hours after they were alerted that he had removed his electronic bracelet.

The Corrections Department received a “tamper alert” for convicted child sex offender Daniel Livingstone about 2am yesterday, the New Zealand Herald understands. Despite repeated visits by security staff and police officers to his Upper Hutt address over the following hours, police did not enter the home until nearly 9am, when they found Livingstone missing. Detective Inspector Grant Wormald confirmed yesterday police did not find Livingston was absent until around seven hours after the first alert.

■ WINTER SPORTS TOURNAMENT

Schools battle it out across codes A fresh start to the day made way for the perfect sunny day for the annual Mid Canterbury primary schools’ winter sports tournament yesterday. Schools from around the district came together to play rugby, netball, football and hockey at venues around Ashburton.

Taking part in the day’s fun and games were Methven Primary School’s Sophie Fulton and Allenton School’s Riley Tindall.

Police have identified the man who died in a Panmure apartment fire on Wednesday. He was 57-year-old Peter Vincent David Harrison, who lived at the Queens Road property.

Seven fire trucks and 20 firefighters were called to the apartment block blaze at 1.39pm.

Experts were on site examining the scene for clues yesterday and a post-mortem examination of Mr Harrison carried out yesterday determined he died as a result of the fire. Investigations into the small, smouldering fire are continuing. Auckland City Fire Service assistant area commander Dave Woon said Mr Harrison was believed to have been in bed, on the ground floor. He was dragged from the house unconscious, and CPR was performed, with no success. Queens Kebab owner Majid Soleymanyfard said a customer passing his shop came running in to tell him the back of the building was on fire.

■ CHINA

Wrangles over South China Sea

TH

ANNIVERSARY

World

Southeast Asian nations are at loggerheads over a joint statement on tensions in the South China Sea, with Beijing’s allies opposing strong criticism of its land-reclamation activities.

China has sparked alarm by expanding tiny reefs and constructing military posts, steps viewed by some of its neighbours as violating a regional pledge against provocative actions in the flashpoint region.

Diplomatic sources have told AFP that the Philippines and Vietnam in particular were pushing for stronger language on Chinese land reclamation, which could help shore up Beijing’s disputed territorial claims.

But there was pushback from traditional China allies among the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which is meeting this week in Malaysia, they added.

“China’s friends are taking a hard stance,” said one diplomat familiar with the drafting.

The diplomat did not specify which countries were taking a hard line, but Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar traditionally ally with China within ASEAN. Envoys from 27 nations - including the United States and China - were in Kuala Lumpur for the final day of regional security talks dominated by long-running disputes over the strategic sea.

Beijing claims control over nearly the entire South China Sea, a key shipping route thought to hold rich oil and gas reserves.

Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei - all ASEAN members - also have various claims as does Taiwan, many of which overlap.

Each year the regional bloc, which prides itself on its history of consensus diplomacy, releases a joint communique after the annual meeting of its foreign ministers, which took place Tuesday.

Singapore Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam told reporters yesterday that the joint statement was supposed to have been completed the previous day.

“It has not been finalised as of now.

There are difficulties,” he said.

“The paragraphs relating to the South China Sea are causing some problems.”

The United States and Southeast Asian nations have called for a halt to further land-reclamation and construction.

On Wednesday Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said land reclamation had “already stopped”.

However some delegates in Kuala Lumpur have played down those claims.

One diplomat told reporters: “They’re not saying they’re stopping construction, nor are they saying they’ll stop future reclamation.”

Think! It’s good for you People with poor thinking skills may be at higher risk of heart attack or stroke, a new European study has shown.

Scientists made the discovery after monitoring the progress of almost 4000 individuals with an average age of 75 for three years.

At the start of the study, participants had their high-level thinking skills evaluated by tests and were graded accordingly.

Those in the lowest test score group were 85 per cent more likely to have a heart attack, and 51 per cent more likely to have a stroke than members of the highest group.

Lead researcher Dr Behnam Sabayan, from Leiden University Medical Cen-

tre in the Netherlands, said the results showed heart and brain function are more closely related than appearances would suggest.

“While these results might not have immediate clinical translation, they emphasise that assessment of cognitive function should be part of the evaluation of future cardiovascular risk,” he said.

During the course of the study, the researchers recorded 375 heart attacks and 155 strokes.

“Worse brain functioning in particular in executive function could reflect disease of the brain vascular supply, which in turn would predict, as it did, a higher likelihood of stroke,” Dr Sabayan added.

In brief

MH370 pieces ‘should float’ Experts say more pieces of missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 probably floated off rather than sinking to the bottom of the ocean, in addition to the wing fragment confirmed as part of the plane.

Finding them remains the hard part.

John Page, an aircraft design expert at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said the discovery of a flaperon last week on Reunion Island leads him to conclude the missing Boeing 777 broke up, most likely when it hit the water nearly 17 months ago.

He said while the main body of the plane is likely to have sunk, other small, lightweight parts attached to the wings and tail may have floated free and could still be afloat - pieces like the flaps, elevators, ailerons and rudders.

“I’m certain other bits floated,” he said.

“But whether they’ve washed up anywhere is another question. The chances of hitting an island are pretty low.”

Mr Page said there’s plenty of trash in the ocean, and even if somebody sailing past spotted something in the water, he or she may have no clue it was from the plane.

The discovery of the fragment, which was confirmed as being from MH370 by the Malaysian Prime Minister yesterday, is a significant development in one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

The jet vanished in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

French and Malaysian investigators began examining the flaperon yesterday and have confirmed “conclusively” that it is from MH370, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said.

They now hope to gather clues about what happened to the plane.

Authorities believe the plane most likely crashed off Australia, in the east Indian Ocean.

Oceanographers say it’s fea-

Legionnaires toll eight The death toll in New York’s outbreak of legionnaire’s disease has risen to eight, out of a total of 97 cases of infection, city authorities say. The eight victims were all “older adults”, who had other medical problems as well as legionnaire’s, the authorities said. The total number of infections was up by 11 from the previous day’s tally. - AFP

Taliban bomber kills six At least six people have been killed and 10 others injured after a truck suicide bomber struck a provincial council building in eastern Afghanistan, an official says. “It was a heavy explosion near the provincial council and Quick Reaction Forces’ base in Pul-i-Alam city,” the provincial capital, said Haseeb Stanekzai, head of the provincial council in the eastern province of Logar.

“Three civilians, three policemen were killed and 10 people injured,” he said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. - DPA

New laws hurting bikies

Bao Lanfang whose daughter-in-law, son, and granddaughter were aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, cries while demonstrating outside the company’s offices in Beijing yesterday.

Families aching for closure vented deep frustration at conflicting signals from Malaysia and France over whether the identity of a plane part had been confirmed.

sible the wing fragment floated thousands of kilometres in an anti-clockwise direction before washing ashore.

Malaysian authorities said this week they’ll seek help from territories near Reunion Island to search for more debris.

Mr Page said the heaviest parts of the plane, like the engines, would sink immediately, while other parts might get spread out by the currents before sinking, forming a triangular-shaped debris field on the ocean floor.

He said flight-control surfaces on the wings and tail would be most likely to break off and float because they are essentially carbon-fibre skins filled with air, making them strong but lightweight.

They’re also designed to be waterproof, so moisture doesn’t enter them and freeze during flight.

Depending on how the aircraft broke up, Mr Page said, it’s possible other pieces could float.

Those could include plastic and fibreglass trim, door panels, even personal belongings or luggage.

He said it was unlikely any human remains would have survived very long.

Mark Tuttle, a professor in mechanical engineering at the University of Washington, said in an email that all structural materials used in transport aircraft are heavy enough that they will sink in saltwater.

He said the only time they

will float, as he suspects is the case with the flaperon, is when a design feature like air trapped inside causes them to remain buoyant.

Geoff Dell, an air safety investigation expert and associate professor at Australia’s Central Queensland University, said he, too, would expect the parts most likely to break free and float would be the flight-control surfaces. Many are attached to the plane only with hinges.

He said the amount of floating debris would be determined by the way the plane hit the water.

If it hit in an uncontrolled manner and at a high speed, the plane would likely break up more, allowing more debris to float.

Hiroshima underscores Iran deal - Kerry Secretary of State John Kerry says the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima highlighted the importance of the Iran nuclear deal and disarmament in general, as Japan marked the attack’s 70th anniversary.

“It’s a very, very powerful reminder of not just the im-

Ashburton Guardian 11

pact of war in a lasting way on people, on countries, but it also underscores the importance of the agreement we reached with Iran to reduce the possibility of more nuclear weapons,” Kerry said on the sidelines of a regional diplomatic gathering in Kuala Lumpur.

The agreement would give Iran relief from sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program, which Washington long believed was cover for building a bomb.

Tens of thousands gathered in Hiroshima to commemorate the atomic bombing that helped

end World War Two, but still divides opinion over whether the total destruction was justified. Bells tolled as a solemn crowd observed a moment of silence at 8:15am local time, when the detonation turned the Japanese city into an inferno, killing thousands instantly.

Ten gangs have been outlawed - the Bandidos, Comancheros, Descendants, Finks, Gypsy Jokers, Hells Angels, Mongols Nomads, Rebels and Red Devils and Attorney-General John Rau says the public should see an immediate reduction in their activities.

They will be prevented from engaging in organised rides, displaying gang colours or gathering in groups of more than two.

Mad cow disease drug A new drug compound could lead to a breakthrough in the fight against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the incurable brain-wasting disease also known as mad cow disease. Scientists say the new anti-prion drug, known as polythiophene, has proved highly effective in mice in blocking toxic, misfolded prions. Prions have been linked to dementia, personality shifts and other disorders, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease - the human equivalent of mad cow disease.

Axe man killed in attack US police have shot dead a man wielding an axe, a replica handgun and pepper spray at a movie theatre near Nashville, in terrifying echoes of two previous cinema shootings.

Doing what we can to help Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

hree sisters – scared, sad, but now not alone – passed through Ashburton late yesterday on their long journey to Christchurch and the start of an uncertain future.

They were all-but unnoticed as they were driven through town, but outside, people that they had never met, were doing what they could to help them rebuild their lives.

Tulsa, Pream and Mamata Kafle survived the fire that engulfed their Waimate home and killed their father Tej, mother Tika and little brother Prem on Wednesday.

The girls slept in the same room. They woke to the fire; they tried to save their parents and younger brother but they were beaten back by smoke and flames.

And last night, as the Nepalese immigrants’ adopted hometown came to terms with what happened, their mayor took the devastated girls to family in Christchurch.

Mid Cantabrians responded quickly. Within 36 hours, local businesses pledged everything from beds to laptops, smartphones to craft supplies; donations were made online.

Ashburton woman Amy Duder offered the girls a place to stay and she worked with businesses to gather donations to help them settle into a new home.

Mrs Duder, the businesses and the individuals who made donations did not know the girls, but they knew enough about their circumstances to want to help.

She was blown away by the support and Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay lauded the local community spirit. It is the sort of spirit that many in this community have shown before.

Last month, a family that lost everything in a fire was helped into a house; food and mattresses were found to prepare a hall for visiting mourners and funds were readied for a local woman hurt so far from home.

All this happened swiftly and without fanfare by people who know what it is to be a community.

Last night, the girls passed through a district well-used to doing what it can to help.

YOUR VIEW Gym closure I am left a little in disbelief to read that the Gym Company is blaming our fantastic facility EA Networks Centre to them closing down when Mr Connolly reports in your paper that he was unsure on how many members he has lost to the new facility in town, one would think if making statements like that you would know the figures exactly.

One thing I would like to ask of Mr Connolly is where he was planning on moving his business when the current premises is demolished later in the year?

Maybe our mayor could confirm whether the Ashburton District Council is or is not subsidising the membership of his facility, as I feel people are being a little narrow-minded

CRUMB

on this and council needs to be open and honest.

I would also like to congratulate the council on offering their staff membership for this facility and promoting health and fitness through the workplace and there are other businesses that offer their staff subsidised gym memberships at other gyms in town; a big thumbs up from me for this.

This is an awesome facility that will grow; let’s get behind it. We need to get over it and get on with it.

Good luck to the Tall Ferns playing China in our nice new stadium. I wonder if we would have international basketball being played in Ashburton without it?

Liquor licence In regards to the application to open a bottle store at the north end of East Street.

I find it interesting that the proposed premises have already been leased and fittings in place for a bottle store to operate?

Passion a-plenty

N

ot too much head scratching went on this week as to what I was going to write about in this column.

The New Zealand flag topic has absolutely gone off on my Hoops on Air Facebook page.

To be completely honest it’s all Peter Mac’s fault! I flogged it off his page.

I am in favour of changing the flag!

I was dead set on the Silver Fern on a black background until this week when I saw the flag that Peter had posted.

I want a flag that says “New Zealand”. I don’t want a flag that says “I think it’s New Zealand, but it could be Australia”.

Like so many of us I don’t like it that this exercise costs so much money, but it could be a huge moment in our country’s history and it must be done right.

I can’t believe the response the flag has attracted.

As of Wednesday morning the post had over 150 comments, over 950 likes and reached over 35,000 Facebookers.

One gentleman in Lower Hutt took the time to post a message instructing me to perform some sort of enema with the flag.

The topic has also incited a minor family feud between my

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

brother in Australia and uncle in America. Here’s a few of the comments from my page.

Glen’s reasons for changing the flag: 1. We get confused with Australia 2. The news this would create globally could not be done by an advertis-

“

about. 6. Our sports teams wear the fern, not the union jack 7. Our soldiers wore the fern 8. All countries in the world know us for being a kiwi ... let’s represent that with a flag that unites this country with a unique identity that we can all be proud of.

Della says: “What’s wrong with the flag we have now is my question? ? Oh wait that’s right.....nothing!! Spend the money elsewhere more important it’s a no brainer”.

Tracey added: “I ‘Love’ this

I grew up in South Africa and all always thought NZ and Australia had the same flag ... But when we lived in England, I realised even the British people often couldn not tell the difference!

Our flag symbolises 3 patron saints we don’t give a toss

From Lani: “Love it! I grew up in South Africa and we all always thought NZ and Australia had the same flag (I know!). But when we lived in England, I realised even the British people often could not tell the difference!

I love the fern on the above flag- the whole world will instantly know it is NZ’s flag”!

That leads me on to Jack Tame’s story for Seven Sharp, he asked 50 people from five different continents what country our flag belonged to.

Of those 50 people only two got it right. WOW! Two out of 50. The overwhelming majority thought it was the Australian flag and were very confident in their answer too. I hate that!

People are very passionate on both sides of the flag debate which is great.

We just need to be careful that our passion doesn’t turn malodorous.

Investors given food for thought

M

arkets continued to be volatile this week as the global reporting season and various data points gave investors plenty of food for thought.

In the US the second quarter earnings season is coming to an end with 426 companies from the S&P500 having now reported. Some positive data from the region gave further weight to discussion that the Federal Reserve would hike rates this year. The Reserve Bank of Australia met this week and kept rates on hold again, and the Australasian reporting season got under way. Second quarter unemployment and the Global Dairy Trade auction dominated local economic headlines along with two deals involving NZX listed companies.

The Global Dairy Trade auction was one of the most watched events in our economic calendar this week. The average price fell by 9.3 per cent with whole milk powder, one of the worst hit categories, plunging

ON THE MARKETS

10.3 per cent to the lowest level seen since 2008. Prices are well below the $3500 a tonne that Fonterra requires to make its original milk payout forecast of $5.25 a kilo a reality. Following the auction bank economists dropped their forecasts and are now expecting a final payout price in the mid $3 a kilo range.

This was not the news dairy farmers wanted to hear. At that level few farmers will be able to cover their costs.

Also of interest this week was the second quarter unemployment figures for New Zealand. It was widely expected that there would be a rise in the headline figure and this was spot on, rising from 5.8 per cent to 5.9 per cent. During the quarter, due to record migra-

to see higher profits in 2015 than in the previous year. This compares with 67 per cent in Australia. We are expecting non-dairy exporters to benefit from the lower New Zealand dollar, but are expecting some cautious outlook statements from companies that are more sensitive to domestic economic conditions.

In the US this week there has been a number of positive economic data points. Factory orders increased in June which reflects business investment spending is on the rise. Another jobs report of the private sector was also positive and indicated a surge in the services industry.

These smaller points combined with a healthy jobs report are reinforcing speculation that the Federal Reserve will hike rates this year.

the foreseeable future.

US reporting season has begun to taper off now, with only a handful of stragglers left to report.

At this stage 49 per cent of companies have beaten revenue expectations and 74 per cent have beaten at the earnings level. This is in line with what we have seen in the past few reporting seasons, showing that top line growth remains hard to find and companies’ earnings are benefiting from cost cutting and share buybacks. The strengthening US dollar has continued to be a headwind for multi-national companies; with most reporting that currency has had a negative effect.

We are now moving into the Australasian reporting season which began, albeit slowly, this week. Most companies are set to report full year financials for 2015, with another few reporting interim results. New Zealand is expected to do better than Australia with 70 per cent of companies expected

tion levels, the workforce expanded. So although many more jobs were created it was unable to keep pace with the growing workforce. The unemployment figure and the worsening situation in the dairy sector are adding weight to the argument for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to cut the official cash rate at its next meeting.

The Reserve Bank of Australia met this week and decided again to keep rates on hold at the record low of 2 per cent.

This is the third month in a row where there has been no change to the cash rate. The Australian dollar jumped following the decision based on the commentary given by Governor Glenn Stevens.

“The Australian dollar is adjusting to the significant declines in key commodity prices,” was in stark contrast to the July statement which called for further depreciation in the value of the Aussie dollar. The RBA indicated that interest rates would remain at low levels for

A legal spat between two New Zealand accountancy groups has ended with the High Court ruling that some of the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountant’s advertisements breached the Fair Trading Act but no damages could be proven and it stopped short of declaring any defamation had occurred because no pecuniary losses were made out.

CPA Australia had sought $50,000 damages against the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants under the Defamation Act and Fair Trading Act claiming that its competitor had overstepped the appropriate boundaries of rivalry in statements it made in flyers, advertisements, news articles, and industry events between 2011 and 2013.

Justice Robert Dobson found CPAA had made out some elements of actionable defamation among the criticisms in an address from NZICA’s then acting chief executive Kirsten Patterson at a May 2013 industry conference, but as a corporate plaintiff, it was required to prove pecuniary loss and had failed to do so.

“In the event that I am wrong on the absence of pecuniary loss, not all of the defamatory comments would be defensible as truth. Nor do I consider that

the sting of the defamation as to CPAA having inferior educational standards could be defended as honest opinion,” he said in a written judgement.

He found some aspects of a May 2011 flyer were misleading in terms of sections 9 and 11 of the Fair Trading Act because NZICA misrepresented information in purporting to compare the earnings of CPA members with those of chartered account-

member of both organisations that “it is a matter of real regret that the dispute between them couldn’t be resolved short of litigation”. On the other hand, he said CPAA’s complaints were understandable and his provisional view was that the scope for criticism of NZICA’s conduct was likely to reduce any justifiable quantum of costs awarded in favour of it.

But he said claims that an advertisement and comments quoted in the National Business Review were misleading under the FTA weren’t made out. “To obtain any relief under the FTA, CPAA had to make out damage following from the misleading conduct and it has failed to do so,” the judge said.

Justice Dobson said he agreed with the view expressed by a subpoenaed witness who is a

Alex Malley said it commenced the proceedings in the High Court at Wellington as a last resort, and only after all attempts to resolve the matter outside of the legal proceedings had been exhausted.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Girls turn on crushing win A dominant performance by the Ashburton College girls’ rugby first XV saw them crowned Aoraki secondary schools’ champions in Timaru on Wednesday night.

Ashburton College took on Craighead and came home with a resounding 42-17 win to celebrate.

It was the second year running the two sides have met in the Aoraki Secondary School Champs final at Alpine Energy Stadium, and Ashburton College started the match the way it was to go on – scoring some good tries.

A surge by Chloe Te Moananui and Piper Jones saw Kate Donald held up just short, but Annie McDonald successively took hold of the ball and dived over to open the scoring and soon after Donald was on the scoresheet, putting in a neat side-step before scoring her side’s second try.

The lead was increased by the good work of Erana Te Moananui - the third of the Te Moananui triplets in the side - who was grabbed after a 40 metre run, but she had Jones in

support, who dashed in to score in the corner.

Eight minutes of consolidation was followed by Chloe Te Moananui picking the ball up from a ruck and running the same distance as her sister for another try. Annie McDoanld was successful with the conversion.

Up 22-0 at half time, Ashburton College looked in control but Craighead made a statement of intent early in the second half to show it was far from over.

They scored in the left corner, but three minutes later Chloe Te Moananui benefited from a forward drive and scored from three metres out to extend Ashburton’s lead again, followed by a further try to Tessa Puleaga.

Nerves started to jangle as Craighead gathered some momentum and scored two unanswered tries, but their momentum was halted through an injury to one of their players which took some time to deal with, allowing Ashburton to refocus with the help of their coaches Geoff Wright and Martin Badham.

Ashburton College’s first XV rugby side must win tomorrow if they’re to stand a chance of making the top eight of the UC Championship.

Tomorrow is the last round of the secondary schools’ rugby competition and Ashburton College host St Thomas’ in a match with a lot riding on it.

Ashburton College is currently 10th on the table, just one point off the top eight.

If they can beat St Thomas’ they’ll move in to eighth spot, which is currently occupied by

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has selected David Pocock at No8 in an attempt to ruin the All Blacks’ breakdown ball. There was speculation Cheika would name two openside flankers Pocock and Michael Hooper on the side of the scrum, but instead Cheika has gone for the slightly more surprising selection. Scott Fardy is on the blindside. The selections of Pocock and Hooper are an attempt to knock the All Blacks off their stride at the breakdown, and in particular skipper Richie McCaw. - NZME Hard yards all worthwhile: The Ashburton College rugby girls were hard at it on the practice field this week, but it was all worth it as they became Aoraki champions.

From the restart, Piper Jones successfully took on the Craighead defence to score under the posts, and the Ashburton College girls completed the scor-

ing for the evening when Erana Te Moananui scored a try having supported sister Chloe as she ran 45 metres down the wing.

while Christ’s College have St Bede’s in the final round – a match St Bede’s will enter as favourites as they’re currently in third spot.

The top four of the competition looks set to be Christchurch Boys’ High School, St Andrews, St Bede’s and Shirley Boys’, while the next four is still up in the air.

If Christ’s College lose and Ashburton College win, the Ashburton side will finish top eight.

If they lose, but get a bonus point, they’ll finish tied for eighth with Christ’s Col-

lege and Timaru Boys’ High School.

Ashburton College head into the final round full of confidence after an eight-try romp over Timaru’s Roncalli College, and the Dave McCrea-coached side is looking to take that confidence into tomorrow’s match.

St Thomas’ are also chasing a top eight finish though, meaning whatever the result, it will impact on the top eight for the finals.

Ashburton College will take on St Thomas’ at the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow at midday.

All Blacks selectors happy with Savea’s work Leaner and meaner is the best way to describe Julian Savea who has spent the last three weeks proving to the All Black selectors how much he wants to remain at the forefront of test football.

It sounds almost unbelievable that a wing in the modern game, playing in a Super Rugby team that reached the final, could lose conditioning and fitness in the last six weeks of the

season. But it’s what happened.

Savea, who has also become a father recently, pitched up at All Black camp a few weeks back with skinfold measurements that were surprisingly bad.

He was out of shape - carrying too much weight and missing that explosive running that defines his game.

As the Hurricanes progressed deeper into the tournament, they trained less and rested

Mid Canterbury’s Heartland Championship rugby side’s warmup game tomorrow may have been cancelled, but the region’s A side will be in action. Mid Canterbury A heads to Hanmer Springs to play the Tasman Under-19 side at 2pm tomorrow. With two weeks to go until the Heartland Championship, Mid Canterbury’s top side was due to play Southland tomorrow but the Stags had to pull out due to a number of injuries.

more to allow the players to be fresh on game day. It didn’t work for Savea.

“It is always hard when you are playing week in and week out, your eating stays the same but the training load comes down,” he says.

“So I wasn’t getting that conditioning every week so the All Black coaches made a decision and I responded to that really well. I agreed with them.

“[I have been] Pretty much just running. Running up and down the field while the boys were training. I have reacted well and in terms of my goals, I wanted to get into good shape.”

The coaches are satisfied that he’s now reached a level where he can do himself and the team justice and Savea’s selection is as much a reward for their patience as it is the giant wing’s hard work.

- NZME

‘Brutal battle’ expected No nonsense New Zealand coach Steve Hansen and his troops have no intention of underestimating the Wallabies and having their heads turned by flattering words from Michael Cheika, heading into tomorrow’s decider. Hansen has noted Cheika’s emphasis on physicality and is bracing for a brutal battle with a Wallabies side who haven’t beaten New Zealand in four years. “So far this season, they have talked a lot about physicality and I’m sure they will front up on Saturday with lots of it,” Hansen said.

‘Homecoming’ for backs Sonny Bill Williams and another former Canterbury NRL player Nehe Milner-Skudder are primed for big performances for the All Blacks against Australia, as each returns to their old home. Williams who comes into the side for Ma’a Nonu, spent four-and-a-half seasons with the Bulldogs, playing in their 2004 titlewinning team before quitting and joining French rugby club Toulon.

Debutant Milner-Skudder, whose quick stepping style Hansen labelled as exciting and exhilarating, spent two seasons with the Bulldogs’ under-20 side in 2009-10.

In brief Matai to rip into Souths Manly hitman Steve Matai is set to wind up for another bellringer against South Sydney after recovering from his own concussion. Matai produced the legal hit of the NRL season when the clubs last met as he flew out of the defensive line and floored forward Ben Lowe in round 16. But the veteran centre has been forced to overcome a blow of his own after suffering severe whiplash in a fall against the Warriors a fortnight ago. He was rested from last week’s surprise romp over Brisbane but was named by coach Geoff Toovey for tonight’s rematch against the defending premiers at Brookvale.

High tempo games in Senior A

By CaiTlin PorTEr

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Collegiate has retained their top-of-the-table status, edging out Celtic B in Senior A netball last night.

The former Premier team played a quick and fast game of netball against rivals Celtic, the final score 25-23.

In the other Senior A games, Hampstead B had a 31-17 victory over Allenton A and Ashburton College B beat College Y9A 32-22.

In the early match, Collegiate led from the outset, their quick ball play too much for Celtic. The first quarter ended with Collegiate up by six, the score 9-3.

Celtic did their best to make a comeback in the second quarter, netting three consecutive goals minutes after the first whistle blew, but Collegiate weren’t ready to let go of their lead, and fought back with accurate shooting and passes to space.

As the third quarter got under way Celtic continued their pursuit to narrow Collegiate’s lead.

Collegiate appeared tired but quickly picked up the pace again, the score 19-17 in their favour heading into the final quarter.

The last quarter was frantic, with Celtic hot on Collegiate’s heels.

The gap between the two teams narrowed to one goal a few minutes in, but Celtic just couldn’t manage to get ahead, with the game ending 25-23 in Collegiate’s favour.

Collegiate coach Sonya Frew said while she was happy with the win, play was messy at times.

Meanwhile, a fast and furious match was also had in Premier, with top-of-of-the-table teams Celtic and Methven playing off in the late game.

Methven managed a comfortable 27-22 win, and were relentless in their defence.

The scoreboard read 8-4 at quarter time and by half-time

Methven were still ahead by four, the score 14-10.

The third quarter was frantic for both teams, but come the final quarter it looked as if Celtic may have had a win in their sights.

However, Methven didn’t relent and took the game out.

In the other Premier games, College, who also sit at the top of the table, had a convincing 34-20 win over Rakaia and United had a narrow win over Hampstead, the score 23-21.

Next week marks the fifth and final week of the third round of Thursday night netball, before semi-finals are played on August 20.

Hampstead girls taking nothing for granted An unbeaten round-robin record goes on the line for the Hampstead senior women’s hockey team tomorrow.

Hampstead has a hefty lead at the top of the Mid/South Canterbury senior women’s hockey competition leaderboard heading into the final round after a season full of wins and draws, and they’re hoping to keep their losses column empty with another strong result over

Fifita decision delayed Cronulla have postponed a board meeting to deal with the Andrew Fifita issue. Fifita stands accused of abusing a referee at an A-Grade fixture nearly three weeks ago and was due to front the Sharks board last night. However, that meeting did not go ahead. “The board meeting has been delayed and there will be no outcome today,” a Sharks official said. Fifita and his brother David have been stood down by the Sharks over the claims and neither will be available for Saturday’s round-22 NRL clash with North Queensland.

By Erin TaskEr

Benji Marshall believes the NRL should mirror the NFL to combat player burnout, by suggesting there should be a switch to a 15 round competition. Each team would only play each other once and Marshall said the rest of the season could be filled up with representative rounds to keep networks happy.

He also thinks a new format would create a more equal competition and Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith has also called for a shortened NRL, saying it would make for higher quality games and make the NRL a more valuable product in broadcast negotiations - meaning the game might not lose revenue for a reduced schedule.

Geraldine tomorrow.

On form, Hampstead should remain unbeaten. Geraldine has not been a strong contender this season, but Hampstead heads into the match not taking anything for granted.

With the semi-finals now just a week away, the two Mid Canterbury senior women’s teams are in line to meet in one semifinal, with Hampstead/Collegians currently fourth on the table.

The younger Hampstead/

Collegians lost to secondplaced Timaru Girls’ High School last week, 3-2, and tomorrow they’ll take on another Timaru girls’ school side in the form of Craighead, and a win would give them a huge confidence boost heading into the semis.

With Hampstead having the women’s round-robin wrapped up, one of the two Mid Canterbury men’s teams has a chance to do the same tomorrow.

A week ago, Wakanui Black

were top-of-the-table for the men, but a 2-all draw with Cambridge last week saw them drop back to second. A win for Tainui saw the Timaru side leap-frog them into the top spot.

To finish on top, Wakanui Black now needs to beat Northern Hearts in Ashburton tomorrow, and for club-mates Wakanui Blue to topple Tainui in Timaru.

Last week Wakanui Blue also recorded a draw, 3-all against Northern Hearts.

Valerie Adams has pulled out of the track and field world championships in Beijing this month. The shot putter’s rehabilitation from injury has not gone well enough for her to consider an attempt at a fifth consecutive title on August 22. The 30-year-old has not thrown beyond 18.79m in Diamond League competition this season, a distance which has left her trailing the leading exponents - Germany’s Christina Schwanitz, China’s Lijiao Gong and the United States’ Michelle Carter - who have surpassed 20m.“I have thought about this long and hard and know it’s the right thing to do for all those that know me, know how competitive I am, and how much I love competing in the black singlet,” Adams said.

By Cathy Walshe Intention rather than execution will be the focus for the Silver Ferns as they open their netball World Cup campaign against Barbados today.

The New Zealanders have two lowkey pool matches, the second against Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, before they run smack into defending champions Australia on Sunday.

The new tournament format, with 16 teams split into four groups, means the result of that match won’t define the success - or otherwise - of the Silver Ferns’ campaign to win their first world title since 2003.

“It’s been interesting.

“In the past, you largely had to go through unbeaten to make the finals and that’s not the case now,” coach Waimarama Taumaunu said.

“In many ways, we’re quite pleased to get an early look and see what they’re like.

“The result is not going to be the defining moment as to whether we make finals.”

With that in mind, Taumaunu says she expects her team to continue developing the fearless approach they’ve been working on.

“We’re going to have to do it, retain that wider vision and largeness of spirit that we’re trying to cultivate on court.

“It’s about looking long, staying upright and having the courage to let the ball go.”

Driving the new approach has been a revamped shooting circle, where established players Maria Tutaia and Jodi Brown have now been joined by mobile, athletic and unpredictable new-

England are backing themselves to win a maiden Netball World Cup title, pointing to world No.1 Australia’s up-in-theair midcourt as an area to be exploited.

Their skipper Geva Mentor isn’t underestimating the enormity of the task of ending Australia’s long-standing world dominance in a World Cup in Sydney from today.

But the 30-year-old defender says the hosts’ wing attack position shapes as a promising target for her experienced line-up after star Madi Robinson was ruled out by a serious knee injury.

“We’ll be looking at their midcourt and the fact that they lost Madi Robinson, who was starting to own that wing attack bib,” Mentor said.

“They’ll be starting to find whether it’s going to be a Paige Hadley playing in there or a Kim Green. So that’s probably

Taumaunu says it will take time for understanding to develop between the shooting circle and the midcourt, but the Silver Ferns’ first two pool matches offer the opportunity to set a benchmark for the future.

Mistakes will happen but Taumaunu says part of the New Zealanders’ new approach is not being afraid to keep trying.

“Often it’s about execution.

“I think we’re making really good decisions but sometimes we’re not executing them as well as we could.

“That’s often about misunderstanding between people but they are trying and we will continue to persevere with that.”

a bit of a weakness that we can exploit.”

Third-ranked England have never finished lower than fourth at a world titles, though they’ve only broken into the top two once, behind Australia in 1975. With 893 caps between them, they are by far the most experienced of the 16 teams that will play 64 matches over 10 days.

That includes returning veteran Sonia Mkoloma, who is poised to equal the alltime international record of playing in five world championships.

World No.4 Jamaica are potential dark horses, having finished third in two of the last three World Cups, while Norma Plummer-coached South Africa and Malawi are outside chances.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t need to be confident to be effective. Some days you’re unsure of yourself, and it’s actually appropriate. A lack of confidence can help you learn from the situation.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Though a cynical view may be more intelligent and snark can be hilarious, kindness cannot be overrated. It’s connected to patience and, ultimately, love.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Some believe weakness should be rejected, stomped out, eliminated. You believe weakness must be turned into strength. It’s the only way to greatness.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There was a time when you didn’t feel you had a right to express yourself.

Now you see that speaking your mind and asking for what you need are ultimately better for everyone.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): What you lack fuels your ambition. Therefore, when you’re sad or angry about what you lack, it’s your choice. You could apply another emotional tone such as determination.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Most of the time you don’t find yourself in a horrible situation you must endure. That’s why boredom is a bigger threat than any other these days and one you’ll stave off with the help of an Aquarius.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When you look at something long enough, you start to unsee it.

It’s the primary reason people don’t constantly celebrate the beauty of their hometown and family members take one another for granted.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The bigger obstacles need to be handled with a lever. Look around. What can you use to dislodge this? “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” — Archimedes SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The day favours good habits. There’s one quickly becoming part of your routine. Soon this will be deeply ingrained in your manner, and people will see it as “so you.”

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll soon make the effort to see someone, and that intention, will be, in and of itself, a gift. And yet, you still need to bring a gift. You’ll find the perfect one today.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Usually, you’re the one who has to come up with a plan. Today, someone you trust will present you with ideas you would be wise to accept. Excellent!

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You like to be liked. That’s why, when you catch yourself subconsciously working for the approval of an authority figure, it bothers you on a deep level. Ultimately, you are the boss of you.

Jennian Homes Ashburton Swim Team members Caitlyn Johnstone, Matt Harford and Grace Sommerville are off to the national short course championships in Auckland.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 040815-AK-064

Young swimmers target nationals Three Mid Canterbury swimmers are off to Auckland to vie for national honours next week.

Jennian Homes Ashburton Swim Team members Matthew Harford, Caitlin Johnstone and Grace Sommerville will all compete in Auckland at the national short course championships, and their coach Shane Jones has high hopes for the trio.

All three face hectic schedules, swimming in numerous events at the new Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre on Auckland’s North Shore – their first taste of competition at the recently completed venue.

It’s set to be an action-packed five days, with the country’s best short-course swimmers - from the open age group down to

13-year-olds - set to converge and compete for national titles.

Sommerville has come the furthest to compete next week, coming home from America – where she’s on a swimming scholarship at the University of Denver – to put what she’s learnt into practice.

“She will be showing her wares and what she has been do-

ing over in America,” Jones said.

Harford will be aiming high, after posting some competitive qualifying times. He’s had a strong past year in the pool, which included a nine medal haul at the New Zealand Age Group Championships last season, while Johnstone will also be searching for medals against some tough competition.

Jones said it had been great having the experience of Sommerville back at the pool this week, for all of the squad’s swimmers, and it was hoped she and her two team-mates will bring home results to be proud of.

The championships start on Tuesday and run through until Saturday.

Top squash players battle for Mid Canterbury honours Mid Canterbury’s top squash players for 2015 will be found this weekend.

The Collegiate Squash Club is hosting the Mid Canterbury Championships, and it’s promising to be a couple of days of top action on the courts.

Some opening games were played last night, but the bulk

of the action takes place tonight and tomorrow on the courts at Collegiate South.

Mid Canterbury Squash’s Logan Ford said entries were down slightly on last year, meaning two less grades will be contested in 2015.

“We’ve got 56 entries so we are down two grades on last year,

but I think all the tournaments have been down on numbers this year,” Ford said.

Men’s open, women’s open, and men’s A, B, C, D and E grade titles will be up for grabs.

Top seed for the men is Geraldine’s Patrick Mulvihill (right), while second seed Elliot McNutt from Methven heads into the

championships having already won the Methven tournament.

Lee Barker, last year’s runnerup, comes into the tournament as third seed for the men, while Julie Smith of Ashburton is top seed for the women.

The open men’s final is scheduled to be played at 6pm tomorrow night.
