Farm prices may take a hit

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ministry to interveneP3

There are fears that further, successive slumps in the milk price could affect farm values if overcapitalised businesses sell-up.

Concerns have been raised over the effects of falling dairy prices on Mid Canterbury’s economy, with Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler saying the drop was “quite worrying”.

Mr Wheeler, who was in Ashburton this week talking to local business people, said data showed both dairy prices and farm prices were holding.

However, if farmers experienced a big hit to their income and their farm prices fell, he believed they could get into a “fairly distressed” situation.

He also believed a possible surplus of housing over the next five to 10 years could see house prices fall in Canterbury.

“It would certainly slow the rate of house price increase,” he said.

“The rate of house price inflation is starting to slow because the supply and demand imbalance is starting to come into a better alignment.”

Ashburton Property Brokers area

manager Hamish McLeod believed house prices in Mid Canterbury would remain steady in the near future, as any growth was “organic” would not come as a surprise.

However, he was less optimistic about the value of dairy farms.

“There could certainly be some people that have to sell,” he said.

“If people have to sell and more stock comes on the market, that will have an effect on values.”

Pucker up lads Wigan forward Liam Farrell sent social media into meltdown this week when he forced an error from Hull KR winger Ben Cockayne with – wait for it – a kiss on the lips.

Farrell’s commitment to doing everything he could for his side is admirable, considering Wigan held a 60-0 lead when he puckered up to his opponent six minutes from fulltime. Farrell completed a dominant tackle before planting one on Cockayne, who promptly lost possession of the football while he wrestled with the defenders as well as a whole range of mixed emotions.

Sia launches game inspired by hair Aussie pop star Sia is using her trademark blonde bob wig for a good cause by launching a new smartphone game for charity. The Chandelier hitmaker has taken to hiding her face during promotional appearances for her latest album 1000 Forms of Fear, and she often wears an oversized toupee as a mask. This week the singer/songwriter announced her new project, called Bob Job!, a free-to-play mobile game, with proceeds going towards charity Best Friends Animal Society, which helps animals in distress. In the game, players must make sets of three bobs, dogs or unicorns in a row before time runs out.

Oliver’s global call to Mid Canty World famous television chef Jamie Oliver wants Mid Canterbury schools to support good food education and be part of a global classroom. The healthy food campaigner’s office this week contacted the Guardian, to encourage readers to sign his global petition for more food education and to encourage local schools to join his online classroom. Next Friday, he will host an online sandwich-making class via his www. foodrevolutionday.com/schools website and he hopes as many local schools as possible will take part. Mr Oliver also urged Mid Cantabrians to sign his global petition to fight for compulsory, practical food education for all children in schools across the world. “With enough support, we can create a movement that’s powerful enough to force governments everywhere – including yours – to take action in the fight against diet-related diseases and I really believe this is possible.” Mr Oliver’s approach to Mid Canterbury people comes a month after the Government launched the first Healthy Families initiatives in Gisborne, as part of a new push to steer families into making healthier choices.

Want to breed an All Black?

If your own international rugby dreams have been thwarted but you want your son to one day pull on the All Black jersey, plan ahead and try for a January baby. Boys born in the first three months of the year have more chance of making it to rugby’s biggest stage, the Herald can reveal. Of the 173 men who have debuted for the All Blacks since rugby turned professional in 1996, more than one-third (60) were born in the first three months of the year. The next closest quarter is the third, July to September, when 39 were born. The stats give credence to the theory of Relative Age, highlighted in Malcolm Gladwell’s book about talent, Outliers. The theory is that those born closer to age-group eligibility cutoffs have an inherent advantage. They’re picked for age-group teams not necessarily because they’re more talented, but because they’re older and usually bigger. This foot-in-the-door gives them access to better coaching and gives them exposure, so they improve. Examples of January babies who debuted for the All Blacks during the professional era are Reuben Thorne, Aaron Cruden, Sam Cane and Luke Whitelock.

■ OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS SCHOOL

■ DAIRYING

Education Ministry steps in

Further dairy decline could hit farm prices

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The Ministry of Education has confirmed it will intervene at a Methven school to address personnel issues that have affected the school’s culture.

Our Lady of the Snows school approached the ministry for support in March after governance issues were identified in an Education Review Office (ERO) report late last year.

It was yesterday confirmed that the ministry’s support would come in the form of a Limited Statutory Manager

(LSM), who will work alongside principal Tony Lamb and the board of trustees.

The announcement was made yesterday in an email circulated to parents on behalf of the school’s board.

The email stated that the board had requested assistance from the ministry to help with “personnel issues and their impact on the culture of the school community”.

Board chairman Peter Westaway yesterday refused to comment on the details of those personnel issues.

According to the email, the board and principal were confident the move would not impact on the education of pupils.

Having an LSM will hit the school financially, as schools are required to foot the bill for the intervention.

However Mr Westaway said the extent of those costs were not clear as it would depend on how long the manager was supporting the school. He believed the manager would arrive at the school on May 20.

Ministry head of sector enablement and support Katrina

Casey said the appointment was not permanent, but the manager would provide support for as long as necessary.

“We intervene if there is a risk to the operation of the school, a risk to student achievement, or a risk to student welfare and safety,” she said.

“Our aim is that schools with statutory interventions return to full self-governance as soon as possible.”

The school has been plagued by a falling roll and multiple board resignations recently.

Leaves cause a stink for shop owners

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

The piles of autumn leaves littering Ashburton’s footpaths have sparked a stoush between a local business owner and the district council.

PetZone owner Jenny Neilson says she spent 45 minutes clearing piles of leaves from outside her store yesterday morning.

She then called the council to ask them to dispose of the leaves, only to be told they were her responsibility because she had cleaned them up.

Ms Neilson said council staff told her she could take the leaves to the recycling plant, but she may be charged for it.

“I thought good god, you’re doing a favour to the council, trying to keep the town clean, and you get penalised.”

She said the amount of leaves on the streets was “ridiculous”, and leaving them there was not an option because they kept blowing into the store.

She had filled two large rubbish bins and a bag with leaves from outside the store.

The council’s response had

made her want to empty the leaves back into the gutter, she said.

However the council is asking people not to clean up the leaves themselves.

Contracts manager Brian Fauth said the council could not clear the leaves at individual addresses because it would be too expensive.

Increasing the frequency of

leaf clearing would require more money which in turn would push rates up, he said.

Mr Fauth said contractors started clearing leaves on Middle Road on Wednesday, and were working in the CBD yesterday.

The contractors were subcontracted through Fulton Hogan and based in Christchurch.

“We only have them doing

so many extra sweeps, we only have so much extra money,” he said.

He said if people were really concerned about the leaves they should contact the council.

“We don’t want them taking them off the street and putting them into big bundles, just for them to blow around again,” he said.

From P1 He said there had been strong interest in irrigated land around Mid Canterbury from arable farmers in other sectors that were experiencing positive growth, but prices could fall if the market was flooded with properties.

Prices at Fonterra’s GlobalDairyTrade auction fell to a five-year low overnight on Tuesday, dropping by 3.2 per cent to an average of US$2515 a tonne.

It was the fourth straight decline in dairy prices.

Mr Wheeler believes prices need to reach around $3200 to $3800 US dollars per metric tonne to break even.

He was concerned about the impact future low payouts could have on the Mid Canterbury economy, saying having another year with a dairy payout of $4.50 would be “really quite worrying”.

Rabobank officials yesterday expected a move to reduced global dairy supply and a recovery in prices.

The lower New Zealand/US exchange rate and firming prices late this year and early next year will support an increase in the milk price for the 2015/16 season, it suggested.

However, the bank believed farmer cash flows were unlikely to benefit from this until 2016 and more fully in 2017.

It advised farmers to prudently look at a 2015/16 milk price of about $5.50/kgMS for budgeting purposes, but also understand their financial position at a milk price of $5.00/kgMS.

■ MEN’S HEALTH

Call for prostate cancer guidelines

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury prostate cancer survivor is urging the Ministry of Health to publish a guideline for GPs on prostate testing.

John Waugh said guidelines would be “jolly helpful” for GPs. This comes after a study by the University of Auckland on the management of metastatic prostate cancer was launched yesterday in Parliament by Health Minister Jonathan Coleman. The study showed 80 per

cent of people with advanced prostate cancer in New Zealand had died within five years, while in countries such as Britain that had clear guidelines on the management of advanced prostate cancer, had significantly better rates.

Mr Waugh said although his prostate cancer was caught early, he knows of people who had tried to get tested but were told their GPs would not do it.

“I’m not saying this happens in this town but I know there

are places in New Zealand where you go and ask to get a PSA blood test and they’ll say ‘no no, we don’t do it’,” he said.

“That’s because there aren’t decent clear guidelines from the Ministry of Health about what to do.”

Mr Waugh said it was not fair for there to be nothing in place when prostate cancer takes so many lives each year.

Prostate Cancer Foundation chief executive Graeme Woodside said the foundation was

pushing for prostate testing guidelines to be put in place.

“There is so much inconsistency across what happens with GPs and confusion, so we would welcome guidelines,” Mr Woodside said.He confirmed guidelines were close to being published as they had been drafted and were now being finalised.

The release date for the guidelines is set to be later this year.

Metastatic disease guidelines are due to be started on next year.

The cost of keeping the Ashburton Rifle Range open could hit up to $100,000 after safety concerns forced it to close indefinitely.

The range is facing an uncertain future after issues were identified with the backstop, which is starting to collapse after decades of use.

The Ashburton Range Users Association (ARUA) is now facing an uphill battle to bring the range back up to scratch before the shooting season starts in October.

ARUA president John Snowden said the possibility of ricocheting bullets was the main risk presented by the collapse of the backstop.

■ ASHBURTON ROTARY CLUB

Open day for Braebrook house

By Caitlin Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

With only a day to go until the Rotary Club’s Braebrook house is opened to the public, the finishing touches are being added.

Bark is being laid, surfaces are being shined and rooms are being cleaned in preparation for tomorrow’s open home.

Rotary Club of Ashburton member and building sponsorship co-ordinator Walter Van Der Kley said while the house is currently under offer, he encouraged members of the public to come along and check the house out.

“It has gone under offer but we are inviting people to come and have a look at the property, and see what their local Rotary Club has been doing,” he said.

With the support of Mid Canterbury businesses and contractors, the club built the brand new home in Braebrook Drive to raise money for the club’s literary programmes, both here and in Samoa.

With the building so near to completion Mr Van Der Kley said he was happy with how everything turned out.

“We were very fortunate to have had such great sponsors,” he said. “Everyone pitched in and got it done.”

Mr Van Der Kley said a lot of thought had gone into the house, and it had some great features.

The fourth bedroom was done in a different way, he said, and was designed so it could be utilised in various ways, such as a media or rumpus room.

“The other thing that we have really put a lot of effort into is the walk-in wardrobe,” he said.

The wardrobe has been kitted out with all sorts of adjustable shelving and hangers, utilising the space.

The kitchen too had a lot of thought go into it, making the most of the indoor-outdoor flow with large foldable doors leading to an outside patio.

In total the 227 square metre

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Staff adding final touches Up to 1000 people are expected to flock to this weekend’s official opening of the EA Networks Centre in Ashburton.

Preparations for Saturday’s official opening are ramping up, with staff adding the final touches to the sports complex.

The facility will be officially opened by deputy prime minister Bill English at about 12.45pm on Saturday.

The public will then have the chance to take a look inside the centre for the first time, although it will not be open for public use until Sunday.

Ashburton District Council service delivery support officer Crissie Drummond, who has been organising the stadium’s opening, said 525 invited guests had confirmed they would be attending the ceremony.

With the addition of members of the public, she expected up to 1000 people would watch the official opening.

OPENING TIPS Tips for the official opening: ■ No stilettos allowed - they could damage the stadium’s floor ■ No swimming will be permitted until Sunday.

■ Be patient - it could take some time for people to make their way through the centre ■ Only those with official car passes will be allowed to park in the stadium car park.

Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and Selwyn MP Amy Adams will be on hand to cut a cake after the official tour party exits the pool area.

The centre will then close at 4pm before reopening for public use at 10am on Sunday.

Wilding pines put area under threat

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Funding for wilding pine control is crucial to preventing the pristine lakes area in the Ashburton Gorge becoming a forest of weeds, an environmental protection group says.

The Ashburton branch of Forest & Bird have asked the Ashburton District Council to fund wilding pine control in the long-term plan.

Forest & Bird chairperson Edith Smith said the group’s control work had previously been funded by a $5000 donation from an elderly benefactor, made available in $500 annual instalments. The control area covers about 3500 hectares.

More recently Forest & Bird have formed a partnership with the Department of Conservation, which has supplied weed killer and expertise, but no funding.

“Dealing with weeds and wildings is an ongoing management issue, the same way we collect rubbish and trim hedges and

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Forest & Bird will hold a wilding pine control day at Lake Camp next Sunday (May 17).

Volunteers can meet outside the Ashburton courthouse at 8.30am or outside the Mt Somers pub at 9am, where car-pooling arrangements will be made.

Volunteers should come prepared with food, water, gardening gloves, loppers and/or pruning saws.

“The council is responsible for the Lake Camp area, where a lot of pinus contorta have been planted, to provide shelter – but they are prolific seed producers,

■ SOLID ENERGY

Mood grim as 151 jobs axed The mood was grim as Solid Energy employees filed out of the NBS Theatre, just minutes after finding out the company was cutting 151 jobs plus 14-15 contracting jobs from its Stockton mine.

Skip Kiwi, who had been with the company for seven years, said that was “long enough to see the ups and downs”.

“I guess that’s what they need to do for the survival of the company.”

He said the mood in the theatre was “pretty low”.

The majority of the workers declined to make a comment on what they had just heard, with one man saying they had been instructed not to speak to the media.

Solid Energy chief executive Dan Clifford confirmed after the meeting that it was cutting an additional 14-15 contracting jobs. The jobs going were

a combination of mining and management staff.

The types of jobs to go would include trades people, operators and technical staff.

He believed the company had responded quickly enough to its difficulties.

The best thing Solid Energy could do was to stabilise its operations as best it could, he said.

“There will be an announcement and consultation period, will make a final decision towards the end of this month” “This is an extremely painful period, we feel for our employees and the community.

“It is a painful situation.”

He said it pained him to be standing in front of Westport, and the West Coast, again, delivering this kind of news. “It has an impact on Greymouth as well.

“The best outcome is to keep the site open.”

Museum visit reveals mysteries of flight Ashburton Intermediate School students have been learning about the mysteries of flight this week. Groups of Year 7 students have been visiting the Ashburton Aviation Museum to learn about the science of flight. Students Michael Lin-Nguyen, Cade Barlow and William Kainuk also got to have a close-up look at one of the museum’s airplanes. Teacher Andrew Czerski said the students were learning about several different aspects of flight, including drag, resistance and the effects of hot and cold air. He said the students enjoyed the programme, which is in its second year.

People who claimed they were underpaid while working at various Canterbury shops, including the Ashburton Discounter Dairy and Sunny’s Liquor, have been awarded unpaid wages by the Employment Relations Authority, it was reported yesterday.

The details emerged when two Canterbury companies were ordered to pay five migrant workers more than $70,000 in unpaid wages and holiday pay, Radio New Zealand reported.

The staff worked for Preet PVT Ltd and Warrington Discount Tobacco Ltd at seven dairies and liquor stores in Ashburton and Christchurch.

The employees raised concerns over underpayments between June 2012 and February 2014.

A subsequent investigation found they were owed a total of $73,157.05, with

the worst-hit employee being owed $22,285.11 and another $21,983.60, Labour Inspectorate southern regional manager Stuart Lumsden told Radio New Zealand.

The two companies and their former director, Dilbag Singh Bal, had accepted they owed the workers that sum, Mr Lumsden said.

The Employment Relations Authority had yet to determine the penalties, Radio New Zealand reported.

The five employees worked at various shops including Ashburton Discounter Dairy and Sunny’s Liquor, in Ashburton; Warrington Discounter Dairy and Warrington Liquor Centre, in Mairehau, Christchurch; Opawa Discount Dairy and Opawa Liquor Centre, in Opawa, Christchurch; and Woolston Dairy in Ferry Road, Christchurch.

Group benefits from raffle

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Cantabrians are continuing to give generously to organisations within their community.

On Wednesday the Mid Canterbury Cancer Society received a $1200 cheque presented by Farmlands representatives Henry Ross and Russell Wallace.

The money was raised by way of raffles sold at a Farmlands golf tournament last month.

Gay Lane and Marion Pannett were two willing Cancer Society volunteers who camped out at the golf course, helping to sell the raffles.

“It was a freezing day, but everyone got into it,” Mrs Lane said.

Manager of the Cancer Society Annie Bonifant said the donation would stay local and would go a long way to supporting families in need.

This was the second time the rural

supply co-operative had raised money for the Cancer Society and Mr Ross said he was keen to hold another fundraising event for the society next year.

The Mid Canterbury Cancer Society was not the only local organisation to receive a donation in the past week; the RSA was given money to go towards its Poppy Welfare Fund.

The fund was set up to support local veterans, ex-service people and their families in need.

Rotary Club of Ashburton representative Gary Whiting presented two cheques with a total value of $2300 to RSA president Maurice Baker on Tuesday night.

One cheque was provided by the Ashburton Guardian, which raised money from its Anzac feature advertising and the other was provided by Rotary with money raised from its fun run and walk event held on Anzac Day.

In brief Quake strikes off PNG A 7.2 magnitude earthquake has struck in the Pacific between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, with hazardous tsunami waves possible along the coast, seismologists say. The quake hit yesterday at a depth of 22 kilometres about 149 kilometres southwest of Panguna in PNG and 642 kilometres from the Solomons capital Honiara, the US Geological Survey said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no Pacificwide threat was expected but “hazardous waves are possible within 300 kilometres of the epicentre along the coasts of the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea”.

Tornadoes tear through US Multiple tornadoes injured at least 13 people as they tore through the central United States, destroying homes and felling trees amid heavy rains that triggered local flooding, US media report.

At least 13 people were injured yesterday when a tornado tore through a mobile home park in Oklahoma City, CNN reported, quoting Susie Patterson of the Emergency Medical Services Authority in Oklahoma City.

The Weather Channel said at

least 29 tornado sightings had been reported across the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma, where multiple homes were destroyed.

Footage from a local affiliate broadcast on CNN showed significant destruction in the state, including a building ravaged by the storm system, with belongings scattered across a lawn.

Cars were flipped into the air on an interstate highway, The Oklahoman Newspaper reported.

A zoo called Tiger Safari in

the town of Tuttle was also hit, and initially the county sheriff ’s office said some animals were on the loose, but they were later accounted for, the paper said.

“Severe weather will remain a daily threat for the Plains and Midwest through (the) weekend thanks to a stubbornly slow-moving weather pattern across North America,” The National Weather Service said.

“Tornado watches have been issued for parts of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

In those watch areas, several

tornadoes have been reported,” it added.

Flooding was reported in Moore, Oklahoma and several houses sustained tornado damage in Bridge Creek, KOCO television reported.

The city of Norman also took a hit with the I-35 highway shut down because of downed power lines, the report said.

An image from the local newspaper, The Norman Transcript, showed part of the exterior of the city’s Norman Hotel ripped off by a tornado. - AFP

■ FRANCE

Germanwings co-pilot practised plane crash The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings flight deliberately crashed the plane into the French Alps after “rehearsing” the descent on an earlier flight, French investigators say.

The BEA civil aviation investigators said the co-pilot, 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz, had practised the manoeuvre on the outbound trip from Duesseldorf to Barcelona just hours before the return flight.

“Several altitude selections towards 100 ft (30 metres) were recorded during descent on the flight that preceded the accident flight, while the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit,” read the report yesterday. Data from the earlier flight was found in one of two black boxes from the aircraft.

Remi Jouty, the director of the BEA, said there had been no

“noticeable effect” as the plane had already begun its descent into Barcelona while he was carrying out the practice manipulations.

The Germanwings Airbus 320 crashed in the French Alps on March 24, killing all 150 people on board.

The probe into the crash confirmed initial suspicions that Lubitz deliberately brought the plane down.

On the fatal flight back to Duesseldorf which left at 9am local time, everything initially proceeded normally, with Lubitz even eating his meal 15 minutes into the flight, the report said.

At 9.30am the captain left the cockpit to go to the toilet, and the selected altitude on the flight control unit changed “in one second” from cruising al-

titude of 11,600 metres to 30 metres - the minimum height possible to select on an A320.

The speed of the plane was also gradually increased.

During the descent, air traffic controllers in Marseille tried to call the plane 11 times on three different frequencies with no response.

The air force also tried to contact the plane three times to no avail.

The cockpit recorder showed the pilot’s frantic efforts to reenter the cockpit.

The interphone rang three times and he triggered a signal in the cockpit when he entered a code to open the door, which is heavily re-inforced to prevent hijackings.

A person was heard knocking on the door six times and a muffled voice could be heard asking

for the door to be opened.

Another five “noises similar to violent blows” could be heard just two minutes before the end of the flight and a warning system blaring “Terrain, Terrain, Pull Up, Pull Up” sounded until the crash.

German prosecutors have said Lubitz was diagnosed as suicidal “several years ago”, before he became a pilot, but had appeared more stable of late.

Doctors had recently found no sign that he intended to hurt himself or others, but he was receiving treatment from neurologists and psychiatrists who had signed him off sick from work a number of times, including on the day of the crash.

Investigators said the ongoing probe would examine the “systemic failings” leading to the accident.

Wind chimes stolen More than 1000 wind chimes have been stolen from a park in eastern China, prompting the organisers to call off a wind chime festival.

Almost all of the chimes hung from trees at the park in Zhejiang province disappeared in the first six days of the month-long festival, leading subsequent visitors to complain, local media have reported. Guests had climbed into the trees to steal the chimes or used long sticks to unhook them, media said.

New name for chimp?

A Japanese zoo is rethinking naming its new baby Charlotte, following complaints it is disrespectful to Britain’s newborn princess. Mt Takasaki Wild Monkey Park announced the name yesterday after Charlotte topped a public poll, a tradition at the zoo for the first macaque monkey born each year. But an official says the zoo has been flooded with complaints from people saying it is rude to the British. The zoo on the island of Kyushu is now discussing what to do, adding they were considering the option of renaming the baby monkey.

Off to the country The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have left Kensington Palace with their four-day-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, as they retreat to their country home Anmer Hall. William and Kate headed out of London with their new baby and her elder brother, Prince George, as they made their way to their bolthole in Norfolk. They will spend the first few weeks of the princess’s life in their refurbished Georgian mansion on the Queen’s private Sandringham estate as they get to grips with looking after a newborn and a toddler. Kensington Palace confirmed the family had set off for Anmer Hall. Princess Charlotte has had a busy first few days since she arrived on Saturday and made her debut on the steps of the Lindo Wing, sleeping soundly through her first photocall.

OUR VIEW

It’s time to man up Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

t is time for us blokes and the health system to man up about how we treat prostate cancer.

The worst thing about a study released yesterday is that many would not have been surprised that so many men may be dying prematurely of prostate cancer.

The North Island study detailed a litany of shortcomings that have probably influenced the health outcomes – lives – of many men diagnosed with the dreadful disease.

These shortcomings all mean there is a much worse chance of survival for men with advanced prostate cancer in parts of New Zealand than elsewhere.

The report found there was much less use of chemotherapy and hormone therapy treatment here than in Australia, Britain and the United States.

The survival rates are significantly better in these countries than in New Zealand, where Maori and Pacific Island patients fare even worse.

The study leader wants change and the Health Ministry plans a guideline for GPs on prostate testing, and will start on metastatic disease guidelines next year.

Too right it should – indeed, anyone reading the study’s alarming results would wonder why a nationally-applied blueprint is not already being used.

Whatever happens for policy and delivery, the study shows men must do more to proactively manage their health.

The study found men most often had full-blown prostate cancer when they eventually went to see their doctor. A potentially treatable condition had metastasised by the time they sought help.

This affected survival rates that are much worse than comparable countries. Seventy per cent of men with metastatic disease were dead within two years of diagnosis and 80 per cent were dead within five.

These are scary numbers and they should be enough to stop men being so infamously reluctant to put their health above their busy lives, ‘she’ll be right’ attitudes or irrational fears.

It has to be. Health policy, good advice and access to treatment are important – but the correct response will always fall short if men will not go and see the doctor.

YOUR VIEW Bridge route I have lived in this town of Ashburton since 1974 and have made it my home.

My main gripe is the new bridge – it is much needed, but not along Chalmers Avenue.

Have you, the district councillors, been on West or Archibald streets lately on weekends and busy days?

The traffic is from Racecourse Road to Tinwald. And people who live in Tinwald East have a terrible time getting on to the highway to go to town.

If you, the council, get your way, the shopping centre at Netherby will have to close because there will be no parking left as there is not the room for the traffic.

On the other end, bring the

CRUMB

traffic back on to State Highway 1 at Grahams Road; what a bottleneck it will be.

I have not even said about the people of Hampstead and school children crossing Chalmers Avenue.

I would like to see a new route start at Seafield Road beside the cemetery and vet club. There are two or three ways the road could cross the railway lines.

The route would go down Seafield Road and veer into Smithfield Road and down to just past Tuarangi Road, turn right and set up a new road to join up with the north end of Trevors Road.

There are only three houses on the east side, two well back from the road. [From Trevors Road] then onto a new bridge across the Ashburton River.

The route would then go

by David Fletcher

south until it meets Fords Road, turn right toward State Highway 1, turn left at McMurdo Street through the stockyards at State Highway 1 a junction can be set up.

RSA appreciation On behalf of the Ashburton RSA, I would like to thank the many people involved in the preparation and contribution to the three services on Anzac Day, and the public of Ashburton for their generosity shown on Poppy Day. The centenary of the landing of New Zealand troops at Gallipoli added extra emphasis to the day’s commemorations and larger crowds than normal – young and old – attended the services.

A special thank you also to the local newspapers for their support in their media coverage of the WW100.

The Ashburton RSA would also like to thank the public of Ashburton for their generosity shown on Poppy Day. We would also like to thank all of the businesses and our Poppy Day collectors throughout the Ashburton District for their marvellous support.

We also would like to acknowledge the support from Rotary, sponsors and our local newspapers for their contributions to our poppy fund from the Anzac Walk.

Once again, many thanks.

It’s time for a change

S

omeone once told me if you start a statement with “In my opinion” you never make a false one.

In my opinion it is time for a change of national flag for New Zealand.

We need something that is instantly recognisable as New Zealand, not one that is often confused with other flags, especially Australia.

For example, in 1984 the Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke was greeted by New Zealand flags when visiting Ottawa and John Key has been seated under the Australian flag at several international meetings.

I don’t know about you but I hate getting confused for an Aussie, it happened to me all over the UK when I did my OE. Don’t get me wrong, I love Australia, there are just way too many Aussies living there.

We need a flag that connects emotionally with New Zealanders.

Is there any other image

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

than the Silver Fern on a black background that stirs emotion in Kiwis more?

That image immediately takes me to an All Blacks victory, John Walker’s gold medal and the Black Caps in the World Cup. The silver fern says, ‘yeah we are a small nation, we are understated and don’t like to brag or beat our chest much.

But we will take you on with guts and grit and we will punch well above our weight’.

I really hope people don’t think a new flag will depreciate the sacrifice made by those men and women who fought under the current flag in the two world wars.

Their efforts are recognised through permanent memorials

in every New Zealand town and through the commemoration of Anzac Day each year.

Research I have done suggests the silver fern was the predominant badge of our army in World War One and the official insignia of the 2nd New Zealand Division in World War Two. Didn’t they actually fight for the country rather than the flag?

I am a firm believer in the KISS theory. Keep It Simple Stupid and that is why I don’t think we need to spend bucketloads of money on a new flag design.

Our flag should say one thing – New Zealand – and nothing says that better than the silver fern on a black background.

Look at the flag of Canada, the simple red and white background with red maple leaf.

Instantly recognisable!

That flag changed in 1965 from the Canadian Red Ensign which had a red background, the Union Jack in the corner

and a coat of arms.

Although it divided the nation before the change, I wonder how many opponents would now consider changing back?

It’s a chance for us to say, ‘Thanks to the empire (Union Jack), we are not forgetting our strong past and present ties, but we are standing on our own two feet as a nation’.

I’ll leave you with this: “Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”

■ HYRAULINK ASHBURTON

Business ownership ‘logical step’

BY NADINE PORTER

NADINE.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When Daniel Bruce was kneedeep in udders, muck and milk as a young man, he never envisaged owning his own business.

But all that changed when Daniel – a local lad, and his partner Abbey Reith, recently became the new owners of Hydraulink in Ashburton.

The specialist hose and fittings supplier has become a strong business in Mid Canterbury and for the past six and a half years Daniel has been a big part of that.

Although originally working in the dairy industry around Mid Canterbury after finishing school, Daniel has experience as an engineer as well prior to becoming a highly skilled hose and fittings technician, learning his trade by on-site job training.

Taking on the ownership of the business was a “huge decision” but when the opportunity arose Mr Bruce believed it was the logi-

cal next step. “It was something that I felt I was ready for.”

Mr Bruce believes customer service to be integral to success and prides himself on the sevenday-a-week 24-hour service he and his staff of four offer customers.

“Service is our number one priority. We get to a breakdown as quick as we can.”

Currently Hydraulink has two service trucks on the road fulltime to ensure speedy repairs.

The business also encompasses fire suppression, auto lubrication and industrial hoses and supplies ATS customers.

Keeping abreast of new technology among agricultural and industrial machines has been vital in order to stay ahead of the field, Mr Bruce said.

His advice to anyone looking at owing their own business was to just bite the bullet and do it.

“If you have the support and back-up just go for it.”

Sell in May and go away rings true

T

he old sharemarket adage “sell in May and go away” appears to be coming to fruition with most markets pulling back for the month so far. With increasing geo political risks and with a seemingly continual stream of disappointing data, it is unsurprising that many market commentators feel that the “sell in May” by-line could ring true.

Greece is an ongoing saga that has investors on tenterhooks. This week they were able to make a €200 million interest payment to the International Monetary fund, although there are doubts about where the money for the next instalment will come from. In less than a week’s time the cash-strapped nation needs to pay a further €750 million to the IMF and so far has failed to secure further bailout funding from the European Union, one of its other creditors.

The Australasian reporting season got under way this week with the Australian banks setting the ball rolling. Westpac starting things off with a flat result and a dividend that was lower than prior guidance.

ANZ reported a strong result beating forecasts at both the earnings and revenue levels.

The beginning of the reporting season was somewhat over shadowed by the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cut to the official cash rate. Expectations were again favouring a cut with the market pricing in a 71 per cent

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

chance of a rate cut.

In theory the decrease in the cash rate should have taken some heat out of the Aussie dollar however it appears to have had the opposite effect, seeing an appreciation against the US dollar.

New Zealand labour market data for the March quarter yielded some mixed messages. Instead of falling to 5.5 per cent as was expected, the unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.8 per cent.In addition, wage inflation was weaker than expected, with private sector labour costs up just 0.3 per cent for the quarter and 1.7 per cent for the year.

These two factors caused market interest rates and the NZ dollar to fall in response to the data. However, it should be noted that in the year to March a further 73,000 people have entered the workforce, taking the participation rate to 69.6 per cent, the highest on record.

Following the unemployment report, we have seen increasing speculation about whether we will see the Official Cash Rate (OCR) cut further. While the chances of this have certainly increased, the strength of the Auckland housing market and

the robust economy could make it too difficult for the Reserve Bank to take action.

The latest Global Dairy auction brought more disappointing news for farmers, falling for the fourth consecutive auction.

Rural analysts have maintained throughout the year that dairy farmers could handle a bad year this year as long as there is a rebound in next year’s figure. This however looks unlikely especially given this latest drop, and most are now predicting around $5.50 per kilo, still below most operators’ break even point.

Disappointing data from the US has also been a drag on markets. Trade data disappointed showing a larger than expected deficit for the March quarter. This suggests the first estimate for GDP, which showed growth of 0.2 per cent, is likely to be revised downwards and could enter negative territory. Adding to negative sentiment was the private payroll data for April which showed the lowest levels of private sector hiring in over a year. This has silenced commentators who assumed there would be a rebound to economic growth in the second quarter.

■ Bistro butter: Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Add freshly ground black pepper then place on a piece of baking paper and roll up into a cigar shape, twisting the ends. Place in the freezer to firm up quickly.

■ Patties: Preheat the barbecue plate, grill or frying pan to a medium heat. Place the onion, garlic, bread with milk, egg, Dijon mustard and Parmesan cheese (if using), in a large bowl and mix well to break up the bread or mix in a food processor. Add the beef mince and season. Mix to combine.

■ Using wet hands mix together forming into eight patties about 2.5cm thick, pressing together just enough to form loose but shaped patties. Make a horizontal slit in the side of each patty and place in a small slice of the bistro butter.

■ Place the patties on to a wellheated oiled barbecue plate or pan. Cook for about five minutes

on each side before transferring to a warm plate. Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest while you grill the vegetables.

■ Grilled vegetables: Place prepared vegetables in a large bowl and toss with oil and lightly season. Cook on the barbecue, grill or frying pan for about three minutes on each side until tender.

■ To assemble: Stack the ingredients by placing one patty on a plate and spread with a little hummus. Place on some grilled vegetables then top with another patty. Finish with a few more grilled vegetables. Repeat with remaining patties and vegetables. Serve with a simple green leaf salad dressed with vinaigrette.

People exit Daimler’s Freightliner Inspiration self-driving truck after a demonstration yesterday in Las Vegas. Although much attention has been paid to autonomous vehicles being developed by Google and traditional car companies, Daimler believes automated big rigs will be rolling along highways before self-driving cars are cruising around the suburbs.

■ SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES

A future without ‘drivers’

By KimBerly Pierceall

T

ravelling about 100km/h on a Nevada highway, the big rig’s driver looked like The Thinker, with his elbow on the arm rest and his hand on his chin. No hands on the steering wheel, no feet on the pedals.

Mark Alvick was in “highway pilot” mode, the wheel moving this way and that as if a ghost were at the helm.

Daimler Trucks North America LLC says its “Inspiration” truck, the first self-driving semi-truck to be licensed to roll on public roads — in this case any highway or interstate in Nevada — is the future of trucking. It’s a future that will still need drivers, but they might be called “logistics managers”.

“The human brain is still the best computer money can buy,” said Daimler Trucks North America LLC CEO Martin Daum yesterday.

Although much attention has been paid to autonomous vehicles being developed by Google and traditional car companies, Daimler believes that automated big rigs will be rolling along highways before self-driving cars are cruising around the suburbs.

On freeways there are no intersections, no red lights, no pedestrians, making it a far less complex trip, said Wolfgang Bernhard, a management board member of Germany’s Daimler AG, at an event in Las Vegas.

But it will be years before an autonomous truck hits the highway for anything more than tests and demonstrations,

the company says.

The industry is watching the developments, said Ted Scott, director of engineering for American Trucking Associations, which represents trucking companies.

He questioned what the economic benefit would be, with companies paying a driver’s salary on top of the new technology, even given the potential safety advantages including less-fatigued drivers.

“Being a tired driver is not as big of a problem as it’s often made out to be,” Scott said.

The group representing truck drivers — the Owner Operator Independent Drivers’ Association — isn’t sure the technology would affect driving jobs, noting the abundance of job openings now and the industry’s high turnover.

“We mainly have questions,” said Norita Taylor, the group’s director of public affairs, citing current laws regulating how long a driver can drive and prohibitions on texting while driving.

Al Pearson, Daimler Trucks’ chief engineer of product validation, said all the same laws still apply: No texting, no napping while in motion.

“We need an attentive driver,” he said, with the technology removing some of the stress.

Legal and philosophical questions stand in the way, as does perfecting the technology that links radar sensors and cameras to computers that can brake and accelerate the truck and handle any freeway situation.

Public perception of a selfdriving car will also be a hurdle.

Daum said society might for-

give a number of deaths caused by tired truck drivers at the wheel but they would never forgive a single fatal crash blamed on a fully automated big rig.

For now four states, including Nevada, and the District of Columbia, certify testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads as long as a human driver is behind the wheel, and a few others are keen on allowing the tests.

Bernhard said more states need to allow testing of autonomous driving before fleets of self-driving semi-trucks fill US freeways and interstates anytime soon.

The company is still far from taking customer orders for the trucks.

“We’re just getting people inspired,” he said.

Big day on home turf

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

All four Mid Canterbury teams are at home in a blockbuster day of Mid-South Canterbury hockey at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf tomorrow.

In a rare occurrence, the two Hampstead women’s and both Wakanui men’s teams will all play at home.

The defending women’s champions Hampstead are at home for the third week in a row in their stretch of six home games to open the season.

After seeing off HampsteadCollegians and Craighead, the defending champions take on their third college-age side, meeting Timaru Girls’ High,

who are coming off a 4-0 win over Hampstead-Collegians. A winless Hampstead-Collegians kick the day off against a Cambridge side that have two wins under their belts to start the season.

Both Wakanui men’s sides had last weekend off with Wakanui Blue playing their round two match on Monday with a 3-3 draw against Timaru Boys.

With a loss and a draw they will hope the natural progression leans towards a win when they host Cambridge.

Defending champions Wakanui Black take on the school boys at the later time of 6pm, completing the big day of action at the Ashburton turf.

Mel Weitenberg and Sophie Morrow and the Hampstead women’s team are at home for a third straight week in the Mid-South Canterbury Hockey Competition tomorrow, but this week they have company as all four Mid Canterbury sides play at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf.

■ TENNIS

Federer stunned by young Aussie in Madrid Roger Federer admitted he was powerless to stop Nick Kyrgios’ thunderous serve after becoming the latest big name to fall victim to the fast-rising Australian tennis star.

As Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray safely progressed to the third round, top seed Federer’s quest for a fifth Madrid Masters title ended in a rollercoaster 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (14-12) loss to Kyrgios.

Kyrgios crunched 22 aces and won 79 of 95 points from his first delivery to send the Swiss superstar packing in his first

match since claiming his 85th career title on Sunday in Istanbul.

“My problem was I couldn’t return his first serve,” Federer said after failing to convert either of two match points in the two-hour, 37-minute thriller.

“I had a horrible performance on return of serve. As the match went on, it got so bad that I just couldn’t get into decent positions on the return.

“So it made it very difficult to get any sort of rhythm after that.

“I’m very disappointed by that.

That’s what cost me the match, in my opinion.

“But credit to him for serving well and keep doing what he was doing.

“He’s got a wonderful serve, good potential, so I hope he keeps working hard and that he can compete for the best spots in tennis.”

Federer has long rated Kyrgios highly and spent a week training with the 20-year-old in Zurich before last year’s French Open.

But while Kyrgios continues his quest to become the first

Australian to win an ATP title on clay since Lleyton Hewitt won his second in 2009 in Houston, Federer now must decide whether or not to chase more match practice for Roland Garros at next week’s Rome Masters.

Murray’s immediate concern is getting some sleep after his 6-4 3-6 6-0 win over Philipp Kohlschreiber ended at three o’clock on Thursday morning.

The second-seeded Scot had already defeated his German opponent in three sets in the rain-delayed Munich Open final

on Monday to register his first claycourt title.

His latest meeting with Kohlschreiber only got under way at just after 1am after a succession of marathon matches at the joint ATP-WTA tournament had thrown the schedule into chaos.

The Murray-Kohlschreiber clash was not the latest finish to an ATP World Tour tie.

That honour belongs to Benjamin Becker and Jiri Novak, who completed a match at the 2006 Japan Open at 3.25am.

Vito to return this week

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON Hurricanes loose forward Victor Vito will return to action tomorrow night when his side hosts the Sharks at Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

The All Black has been sidelined since suffering a calf injury in the round eight victory over the Stormers last month.

He will pull on the No 8 jersey this week, which pushes Brad Shields to the bench, while

Blade Thomson will move to the blindside of the scrum in part of a loose forward reshuffle from coach Chris Boyd. Flanker Callum Gibbins has dropped to the reserves to accommodate Thomson.

Elsewhere, prop Chris Eves will make the first start of his Super Rugby career after making 21 previous appearances from the bench as loosehead Reggie Goodes moves to the pine. Hooker Dane Coles has

also been ruled out with a calf strain, leaving Motu Matu’u to start.

Boyd has taken the opportunity to rest halfback TJ Perenara and left wing Julian Savea who have been replaced by Chris Smylie and Matt Proctor, respectively.

Perenara and Savea are two of many All Blacks in the Hurricanes who need to sit out two games this season as they build towards the World Cup.

In brief

Unbeaten record on the line

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Methven put their unbeaten record on the line against Southern in round eight of the Combined Country Cup rugby competition tomorrow.

Three weeks out from the end of the round robin, both sides sit in the top four of section two.

Both teams have the long haul to face Ashley and also set to meet other top four contenders in the final two weeks, with Methven to host Waihora and Southern up against BurnhamDunsandel.

That makes a win tomorrow critical towards earning the handy home field advantage come the play-offs if not just taking another step to consolidating a top four spot.

Southern last made the trip to Methven for a Watters Cup semi-final last year where the host took a 25-12 win - Methven’s third win in a row since Southern collected an 18-5 win in Methven in 2012.

The section two leaders were troubled by a spirited Hampstead in collecting win number six last week and will need to shake off that lacklustre effort against Southern.

After a bruising encounter with Hampstead last week, Methven’s Brenton Connell is in doubt to take on Southern in the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup tomorrow. 020515-TM-206

“We can’t afford another display like that,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

“We didn’t stick to the game plan or our structures and it almost cost us. As we head towards the play-offs we need to be building and last week was a bit of a step backwards.”

Palmer also has a few injury worries set to test the squad’s depth, including the potential big blow of losing fullback

Brenton Connell (knee) while Gary Redmond is unavailable.

Methven know what to expect from the Southern forward pack but the backline packs a few surprises.

With an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman, the Southern backline reads like the start of joke.

The international backline gets some added flavour with another returnee, South Af-

rican utility back and former Mid Canterbury representative Johannes Lambrechts, but Englishman Dan McNally is set to return home after suffering a serious knee injury.

Welshman James Miller has slotted into the 10 jersey seamlessly and bar “a few injuries to monitor in the backs” coach Jason Rickard’s biggest concern was who to start from his fully fit forward contingent following last weekend’s 24-0 win over Rolleston.

Elsewhere Hampstead head to Darfield looking to remain a chance of a top four finish. The unbeaten Waihora are away to the winless Ohoka, fourth placed Burnham-Dunsandel come off back-to-back losses to face Rolleston while Saracens are up against Ashley.

In section one, third-placed Celtic will be hoping to collect another five points against a winless Hornby while fourth placed Rakaia head north to take on second-placed Glenmark, and section leaders Southbridge are away to defending champions Lincoln who sit ominously in fifth.

Kaiapoi are at home to West Melton and Oxford host Prebbleton.

Southern rugby team seek senior B hat-trick

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Southern can lock away the first round senior B rugby trophy for a third straight year if they get the win tomorrow.

The defending Michael Duff Memorial holders, Southern are six-from-six and a seventh win will put them out in front

with a round to go.

Their round eight hosts are Methven who have won their last five matches in a row after an opening week loss to Celtic.

Both Methven (22 points) and second place Celtic (23) are the only teams capable of overtaking Southern (27) with two rounds to go.

Celtic come off the bye to be at home to Collegiate.

Fourth place Hampstead heads to Rakaia - a side that has had back-to-back draws.

Tinwald have been in a rut since their win over Allenton, scoring just 24 points in the past three games - two losses and an 8-8 draw.

Tinwald take on Mt Somers who sit one rung off the bottom with just one win.

Allenton get a much-needed week off after conceding 160 points in the last 160 minutes, after a 105-0 loss to Celtic in the night round and a 55-0 loss to Collegiate.

Naiyaravoro back Giant winger Taqele Naiyaravoro has been recalled for the NSW Waratahs’ Super Rugby clash with the Western Force in Perth tomorrow night. The Fiji-born Naiyaravoro hasn’t started since failing to travel to New Zealand to play the Hurricanes last month because of visa restrictions. He replaces Peter Betham, who has been named on an extended nineman bench.

Cowan at halfback Blues coach John Kirwan has stuck with Jimmy Cowan at halfback for tonight’s match against the Rebels in Jimmy Melbourne. Part Cowan of the reasoning to select the veteran rather than the quicker Jamison Gibson-Park would have been due to the fact that Dan Bowden has been ruled out with a groin injury. That leaves the relatively inexperienced Ihaia West starting at No10. Cowan will be seen as a steadying factor for West, who will have Simon Hickey backing him up on the reserves bench. Lolagi Visinia moves from right wing to fullback, replacing Charles Piutau, who is out for the season with a knee injury. - NZME

Unchanged team The Highlanders will field an unchanged starting 15 when they face the Lions in the first of their two Super Rugby matches in South Africa. Coach Jamie Joseph has kept faith with the side that began the 48-15 defeat of the Sharks in Dunedin last Friday. There are two changes on the bench for the match in Johannesburg on Sunday morning (NZ time), including the return of Cape Town-born prop Ross Geldenhuys from a broken thumb. Flanker John Hardie is also back after getting over an ankle injury. The Highlanders sit fifth on the overall Super Rugby table. After the Lions, they play the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein and then stop off on their way back to New Zealand in Perth to face the Western Force.

College chasing victory

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

With a week off to simmer over a costly slow start, the Ashburton College 1st XV will fancy their chances of taking down Christ’s College in the third round of the UC Championship secondary schools’ rugby competition.

College made a slow start against Burnside in the opening round and paid the price in a narrow 19-21 loss at home.

College are back at home, at the Ashburton Showgrounds, after a bye week and keen to get their first win on the board.

After the opening two rounds their opponents, Christ’s College, have had two drawn results - with St Thomas and Lincoln.

Last year College and Christs drew 12-all.

College’s next opponents - defending champions Christchurch Boys’ High School, are away to St Thomas after a hard-fought 12-11 win over rivals St Bede’s last week.

St Andrew’s - featuring expats Luke Gilbert and Jack Griffiths – are top-of-the-table after two bonus point wins.

The Ashburton College Girls’ 1st XV suffered a season opening loss to Waitaki in the Aoraki girls’ rugby competition on Wednesday.

The girls were unbeaten on their way to a maiden championship last year and have started 2015 with almost half the squad being new players.

The elusive Malakai Cakaunitabua scored two tries for Ashburton College against Burnside in the opening round of the UC Championship.

In brief

Inspected and ready to race

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The cars have been cleared and the drivers are ready to roll in the annual Ashburton Street Sprints this weekend.

The cars were inspected last night to ensure they are ready to race around the industrial area tomorrow, with the starting field at 60 after successfully being expanded from 54 for last year’s 25th anniversary of the Ashburton Car Club’s event.

The big question is, can anybody catch Southland’s Glenn Frew?

Frew was the first driver to record four straight wins last year and joined Neville Stowell on the all times winner list.

This year he looks to extend his winning streak as well as become the first driver to be last man standing five times.

Last year Frew was three seconds faster than Tim Cook as the latter finished runner-up for a third time in five years and will be looking to shake off the bridesmaid tag.

The action gets under way at 8.30am tomorrow with a brief break in proceedings to allow the neighbouring EA Networks Centre sports complex to have

Call for longer series New Zealand coach Mike Hesson believes his side is worthy of longer series ahead of their two-test campaign in England.

“We’ve started to earn the right now to play longer series than two tests,” Hesson said on Wednesday.

“That’s something we are looking forward to and our administrators want to make it happen.” A twomatch contest is the minimum required to constitute a series by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport’s governing body.

But Australia seamer Ryan Harris voiced a widespread concern when he labelled two-test series “pointless”. “I think some of it has been performance, I think we’ve been down the pecking order in terms of our ranking,” said Hesson, whose side are now fifth in the standings to England’s fourth.

New Zealand, historically, have not tended to be viewed as a big ‘drawcard’ by other countries and so have rarely played test series longer than three matches. - AFP

After having three runs on Saturday, street sprinters get a fourth and often decisive run on Sunday morning which acts

■ NETBALL

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Centres join forces

Warriors look to get campaign back on track

Mid and South Canterbury netball are set to join forces in the under 19s.

The two centres recognised that they both have talented players at the under 19 age group but not enough players to stand alone in the age group or at the level of competition.

Wanting to provide an opportunity for the top players to go to nationals and experience netball at this higher level, the two centres are combining forces this season.

The combination of players from Mid and South Canterbury - and potential ex-pats from Christchurch – will enable the centres to create a competitive team, with the aim of attending the nationals in Auckland in July.

Experienced coach Andrea Cousins will take the team - having taken previous Mid Canterbury teams featuring South Canterbury players to nationals before.

The exciting amalgamation begins on an historic weekend for Mid Canterbury netball with potential players asked to attend an initial skills training session on Sunday at the newly opened EA Network Centre - the new home of netball.

The Warriors are focusing on improving their defence as they look to get their NRL campaign back on track in tomorrow’s away clash with the Cronulla Sharks.

Reducing their troubling error count also remains a priority but coach Andrew McFadden believes there will be plenty of improvement in their play if they can establish a foundation of strong defence.

“Defence has got to be a big focus for us,” McFadden said. “We started the season not too bad defensively but it’s definitely slipped in the last month for various reasons.

“Offensively I’m pretty comfortable with what we can do. We’re pretty high up there in terms of creating opportunities and scoring points but we’re just leaking too many.

“We can help ourselves if we don’t make so many errors in our own end too.”

Through the opening six rounds it was the unforced errors that were hurting the side before second-half lapses in consecutive weeks allowed both the Cowboys and Titans to conjure come from behind victories.

Those late fades were partly attributed to exhaustion from the extra defensive work the Warriors were forced to do on the back of the unforced errors that have plagued the team.

McFadden believes eradicating the un-

forced errors will have a positive roll-on effect into other aspects of their performance.

“A bit of that in the second-half is about what we are doing to ourselves in terms of energy and the errors we make,” he said.

“We’ve obviously got to settle on some combinations there but we’ve got to address that more as a team. They’re fundamental errors that are confined to a small group of individuals and they’ve got to take responsibility for that and if we can eliminate those out of our game it’s a different story.”

Captain Simon Mannering agreed a heavy defensive workload over the first two months had taken its toll and impacted on the side’s ability to hang tough when defending their line.

“It’s probably come off the back of doing a lot more defending than what we should do,” Mannering said.

“Obviously that’s on the back of errors and we’re not using the ball as well as what we could have and turning over a lot of possession.

“It’s a flow-on effect from that and if we can get that right, where we’re not forcing ourselves to do more work when we don’t have to, hopefully our defence gets better and we can put ourselves in a position to get the result.”

Greg Bird has joined the undesirable ranks of the NRL’s most suspended players, after copping an eight-game ban at the judiciary. The NSW and Gold Coast enforcer was suspended until midJuly for his lifting tackle on Kiwi winger Jason Nightingale in the Kangaroos’ Test loss on Sunday.

The ban means he will miss the entire State of Origin series. Bird pleaded guilty to a dangerous throw but went to the judiciary to challenge the grade two grading, which was upheld by the judiciary panel of Chris McKenna, Bronson Harrison and Mal Cochrane. Since his NRL debut in 2002, Bird has now been outed for a total of 29 matches, making him the fourth most suspended player since the NRL was formed in 1998.

Surgery for Pacquiao Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has undergone successful surgery on his right shoulder. Doctor Neal ElAttrache, of the Kerland Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, said he couldn’t be more pleased with the results of the procedure on the 36-year-old. The operation follows Pacquiao’s 12-round unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather on Saturday in Las Vegas in the most lucrative fight in boxing history. The super-fight cemented unbeaten American Mayweather as the top pound-for-pound fighter of his era. But Pacquiao’s camp revealed after the fight the Filipino had suffered a rotator cuff tear in training camp which he aggravated early in the bout.

Hamilton leads Lewis Hamilton will seek to build on his 27-point lead in this year’s Formula One title race with another victory for Mercedes at this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

After three wins in four races, the 30-year-old has built a strong early defence of his crown in nearflawless fashion that has left his rivals trailing and many paddock observers lost in admiration. Earlier this week his Mercedes team director three-time champion Niki Lauda said he felt the Englishman was driving like a man “from another planet.”

Gayle batters Johnson in IPL Chris Gayle has gone on a rampage in the Indian Premier League - with Australian duo Mitchell Johnson and Glenn Maxwell copping much of his wrath.

The West Indian masterblaster smashed a memorable 117 from 57 balls, including 12 sixes, as his Royal Challengers Bangalore annihilated Kings XI Punjab by 138 runs.

Having posted a formidable 3-226, Bangalore then rolled their opponents for a measly 88, with Australia’s Mitchell Starc (4-15) grabbing another haul of wickets cashing in on the good work at the top of the order by Sreenath Arvind (4-27).

Johnson, Australia’s pace spearhead, has faded as the IPL has worn on and with Punjab already out of finals contention Cricket Australia may try to coax him home early for some rest ahead of next month’s two-Test tour of the West Indies and the lengthy Ashes campaign which follows.

The 33-year-old, who finished with 0-43, saw Gayle at his brutal best early on and conceded 20 runs in his first over.

Gayle showed no fear as he clubbed

three sixes and three fours off Johnson, before turning his attention to part-time spinner Maxwell, who saw two of his offerings smashed over the boundary rope en route to figures of 0-23 from two overs.

A third Australian, Punjab skipper George Bailey, had a chance to halt the onslaught but grassed a near-impossible chance with Gayle on 27.

South Africa’s AB de Villiers also delighted the crowd with his 24-ball 47, which included four sixes, as he played second fiddle to Gayle.

Messi destroys Bayern Barcelona’s Lionel Messi struck twice and set up Neymar in the final 13 minutes as Pep Guardiola’s return to the Camp Nou as Bayern Munich coach ended in a 3-0 defeat in the first-leg of their Champions League semi-final.

On his 100th appearance in European football, Messi’s double moved him back ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo as the alltime leading scorer with 77 in the Champions League and Barca to the brink of their first final in four years.

Manuel Neuer had kept Bayern in the game with a string of fine saves, but was helpless as Messi drilled home the opener from the edge of the area in the 77th minute and then delightfully chipped the German three minutes later.

Messi then fed Neymar in stoppage time to roll past Neuer and hand Bayern an almost impossible task in next week’s second-leg.

Guardiola had described Messi as “unstoppable” in the pre-match press conference and Barca defender Gerard Pique agreed, whilst also heaping praise upon the Catalans’ defence which prevented the visitors from having a single shot on target.

“Guardiola knows Messi well and knows that if he is inspired no one can stop him. He scored two fantastic goals,” said Pique.

“We played a sensational match. Defensively we were very good because that a team like Bayern doesn’t have a shot on target is sensational. Then we took our chances up front and did a lot

Unbeaten streak continues

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven’s unbeaten streak in Premier Netball continued last night as the team scored their third consecutive win 38-18 over United.

On the blustery evening Methven came out firing, scoring seven consecutive goals in the first quarter.

After being on the end of the goal spree United came to the party, upping their defence

and chalking up seven goals to Methven’s 12 before the first quarter whistle blew.

However, Methven continued to carry their momentum into the second quarter and made the most of United’s errors, capitalising on turnovers.

United’s attacking end fought hard and finished off the first half with a last second goal, bringing the half-time score to 20-14.

In the third quarter Methven came out stronger again, scor-

ing goal after goal in rapid succession. United’s Kendra Eilken took a tumble early on and called time but made a quick recovery.

The quarter ended with both United and Methven fighting for turnovers, but Methven still held a strong lead.

Come the fourth quarter Methven had the game in their hands with shooter Bindy Egden chalking up shot after shot.

By the time the whistle blew Methven had extended their lead to 20.

Coach Maree McPhail said she was happy with the win, which meant her team held on to the Premier challenge trophy.

We tried out a new court combo in the first half and it worked in our favour, she said.

A shake-up in defence later in the game ensured Methven retained their lead.

Last night was the last outdoor game for Premier, as netball moves in to the EA Networks Stadium next week - a move McPhail and her team are

excited about.

“We’re looking forward to a good, strong game against College indoors next week,” she said.

In the late matches defending Premier champions Celtic claimed their first win, beating Hampstead 24-17, while College remained unbeaten, trumping Collegiate 36-24.

In Senior A grade College B retained the challenge trophy Allenton A and Hampstead B also secured wins.
